Chapter 594 Shouldn’t Be Taken Lightly

Caroline shook her head, opened the door, and said, “Let’s go.”

Paige got out of the car and followed Caroline to the floor where the journalist lived.

Caroline activated the voice recording function on her phone at the door.

Paige whispered, “So, you’re recording conversations now?”

Caroline glanced at her. I’ve learned my lesson from past experiences.”

Paige gave a thumbs up. “Good move! You’ve became wiser. Should I knock?”

“Sure.”

Caroline knocked, and a man’s voice echoed. “Who’s there?”

Paige immediately switched to acting mode. “Hello, I’m the newly hired property management

personnel. I’m here to gather your thoughts on the residential area.”

“Ah, alright. I’ll open the door.”

After the door swung open, Paige squeezed her way into the house first.

The man, Pete Parr, appeared surprised. “Couldn’t you have done that from outside?”

Paige smiled and called out, “Come in, Carol.”

Caroline took two steps closer to Pete.

Pete’s expression drastically changed upon seeing her. “I don’t want to talk anymore! Just do whatever

you need to do. I have other matters to attend to!”

Pete attempted to push Paige out of his house.

“What are you afraid of? We’re not here to harm you!” Paige dodged Pete’s shove.

Pete glanced warily at Caroline and Paige. “What’s the point of seeking me out now that everything’s

already public?”

Caroline looked at him coldly. “I just want you to admit that you acted on Daniella’s orders.

Furthermore, tell me everything you know about this.”

With a pained expression, Pete said, “I shouldn’t have done it and ended up in this situation!”

Upon hearing Pete’s remorse, Caroline began inspecting his house. She could only describe it as filthy,

disorganized, and impoverished.

“If you can provide us with the truth, we can ensure you live safely in Angelbay like you used to,” she

said.

Pete was taken aback, his eyes showing a glimmer of hope. “Really?

Paige sneered. “And if not? We’re already here!”

Pete hesitated for a moment before agreeing, “Alright!”

He invited Caroline to sit in the living room and closed the door, He then confessed that Daniella had

paid him to falsely accuse Caroline.

Caroline asked, “What else do you know?”

“That’s all. That’s everything we talked about,” Pete replied.

After a brief silence, Caroline stood up and said, “Alright. I’ll assist you with a season’s rent, but you

must

do something for me.”

Pete was astonished. “What is it?”

On the way back, Paige remarked in surprise, “Carol, I’ve noticed you’re getting better at manipulating

people!”

Caroline nodded. “We’ll see if he can help me in return.”

“This is thrilling! If I were in his shoes, I’d do it for the money! Paige exclaimed.

Caroline looked at her with frustration. “Do you think this is an easy task? It’s very risky.”

Paige was about to respond, but her phone rang. It was a call from her mother.

Paige said, “Hello, Mom.”

Her mother, Maya Bryant, said, “Paige, have you seen the doctor like I told you to? Irregular

menstruation

shouldn’t be ignored!”

“I did. I’ll pick up some medication soon, okay? Don’t worry!” Palge mumbled.

Maya asked, “Are you sure you don’t have a boyfriend? You mustn’t get pregnant out of wedlock!”

“Mom! What are you talking about? How could I make such a mistake? I’m busy, so I’ll hang up!” Paige
