CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 418: MONA EVANS, CAROLINE EVANS

Las Vegas, a certain hotel on the tenth floor.

In a suite’s living room, a woman in a red backless long dress is tied to a chair, her slender and delicate thighs especially eye-catching.

The hair on her forehead was disheveled by water, and her makeup was also soaked by the water. Her pretty face that resembled Mona by fifty percent, rather than looking ugly from the ruined makeup, became even more captivating.

"You say your name is Caroline Evans?"

Glancing at the silent Mona, Luo An asked with a stern voice:

"What is your relation to Javari Evans?"

Javari Evans is Mona’s biological father whom she hardly sees a few times over the years. (Chapter 49)

"He is my father."

Caroline didn’t look at Luo An, keeping her eyes fixed on Mona as she responded:

"So, Mona Evans, you should call me sister."

"Impossible."

This time, without waiting for Luo An to speak, Mona also stared intensely at Caroline and said:

"I don’t have a sister. My mother only gave birth to me alone, I am quite sure of that."

Caroline’s face strongly resembles Mona’s, to an extent that anyone unaware would think they are twins.

But Mona, when sorting through her mother’s belongings, saw her mother’s hospital reports during pregnancy, documents from the hospital at childbirth and all indicated that Mona’s mother had only Mona.

Caroline wriggled a bit, finding a more comfortable position, and calmly said:

"It has nothing to do with your mother, I am a child your father adopted."

Caroline stated that when she was seven, she was abducted by human traffickers to Western Europe, Javari Evans led a team that busted that criminal organization, and seeing her resemblance to Mona when she was little, he started helping her contact her family.

"But my biological parents had died in the war, so your father adopted me."

Caroline said calmly:

"To fulfill his paternal love, unable to return to the Federation, unable to see his biological daughter."

"..."

Mona remained silent and did not speak; Caroline continued staring at Mona, saying:

"Your father sent me to a poor noble family in Europe, funded my schooling, taught me piano, violin, ballet, and even German, English, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Latin. When I turned 18, he even paid to help me open a piano store..."

Towards the end, Caroline smiled a little, her voice firm:

"Of course, I would also attend some parties when our father needed, gather some information for him, acting as the public socialite but an actual spy."

"...Fu-k!"

After listening to Caroline’s description, Mona stared at her eyes silently for a long time, cursed softly, then left the living room and started typing on her laptop in the bedroom.

Glancing at Mona’s departing figure, Luo An pulled a chair and sat across Caroline, smiling and asking:

"So, you are not living in Europe, why come to the Federation to find us?"

Luo An didn’t comment on Javari Evans’ actions; he just wanted to ascertain the reasons for Caroline stalking them.

Seeing Luo An sitting in front of her, Caroline’s cold expression faded, replaced by a beautiful smile, and she said:

"Luo An Greenwood, Group Leader of the Special Investigation Team at the FBI Los Angeles Branch, young and promising, handsome, adept physically, a rising star of the FBI..."

Luo An smiled and waved his hand, using the gesture to say that he likes to hear more of these true praises.

Caroline was slightly stunned, then rolled her eyes slightly, summing up:

"...and quite thick-skinned, lacking somewhat in gentlemanly manners."

"The so-called gentlemanly manners are just some people’s cover to hide their barbaric ignorance, a pretentious veneer for those who are unscrupulous for personal gain."

Luo An spread his hands, laughing:

"I’m good to my friends and not nice to my enemies. Whether enemies are male or female doesn’t matter to me."

"So, don’t try to moralize and lecture me, it’s useless, I don’t care."

Caroline raised her eyebrow:

"Your so-called disregard for morality includes staring at other women’s thighs while your girlfriend is beside you? And this woman is also your girlfriend’s sister?"

"Wow, that’s an accusation that would scare any man."

Luo An stared at Caroline for a moment, then laughed:

"Caroline, you’re a very beautiful woman."

"Thank you."

"But your heart is restless."

Luo An leaned back in his chair and said:

"If what you described just now is true, then you must have been very scared all these years, scared of being hurt again, scared of being abandoned again.

So you suppress yourself, study desperately, just to show that you have a useful side.

You are beautiful, and in that time, you weren’t lacking male suitors, but you weren’t sure how things would turn out. A woman’s first time can sometimes be very useful, so you rejected those men.

During that time, you found that the fastest and most successful way to reject a man who pursues you is to show your aggressiveness.

Over time, whenever you find a man who makes you feel uneasy, who you feel is trouble, you subconsciously show aggressiveness, to make yourself look not so weak, right?"

Watching Luo An, who had a smile on his face, Caroline’s face stiffened slightly, she remained silent for a few seconds before smiling again:

"It seems that Group Leader Greenwood is a very confident man."

"Only at certain times."

Luo An poured a glass of water, brought it to Caroline’s lips and helped her take a sip, then said:

"Although it’s unfair, in this world, many times women can’t solve problems alone, sometimes it’s right to show your vulnerable side, it won’t make people look down on you."

After finishing drinking, Caroline stared intently at Luo An and said with a light laugh:

"Is this why Mona likes you? Because you always shelter her from the wind and rain?"

Seeing the glimmer in Caroline’s eyes, Luo An smiled and did not answer, he put the glass aside and said:

"Stop beating around the bush, just say it, what happened to you in Europe?"

Caroline was silent for a moment, then said:

"My father and Mona’s father, they disappeared."

In the bedroom, Mona, who had been listening intently to the conversation in the living room, paused, her eyebrows furrowed, and then the sound of her typing on the keyboard became even faster.

Luo An’s expression shifted slightly, he asked:

"What exactly happened?"

"I don’t know."

Caroline shook her head, explaining that Javari Evans would call her every two or three days, and they would have a meal together during festivals if there was time, and if not, he would call to update her on his situation. This had never been interrupted for years.

But from Christmas night onwards, Javari Evans had lost contact, and no matter through her own mobile phone, hidden numbers, or other alternative methods, she couldn’t reach him.

Even those under Javari Evans, as far as Caroline knew, had also vanished, disappearing without a trace as if evaporated from the earth.

Just when Caroline was at a loss, she suddenly received a package that was signed by Javari Evans.

At this moment, Mona came over with her laptop, looked at Caroline, then turned her gaze to Luo An, and said with a complicated expression:

"I’ve checked her identity, there’s no issue found, and right now I also can’t contact my father."

"OK."

Luo An nodded, then asked:

"What’s inside the package?"

Caroline sighed and revealed the contents of the package, Luo An frowned deeply, and Mona’s expression instantly darkened.
