Chapter 397

I had no clue how that type of rope had ended up in Karina’s purse, so I decided to get in touch with the hotel manager.

Following our conversation, I received a picture of the rope used for tying up, seafood in the hotel’s kitchen. It was identical to the one I had found in Karina’s bag.

I comprehended the situation. If I were to accuse her with the rope as evidence, she could have refuted me, claiming it was just a coincidence. After all, it was common for some kitchen waste to end up in the sea.

“Let’s keep this under wraps for now. We have no concrete evidence,” I advised Russel, to which he nodded his agreement. He warned me to keep my distance from Karina, knowing her temperament to be even more volatile than Bonnie’s.

I didn’t need Russel to tell me that. After all, I was no stranger to Karina’s antics.

Feeling a bit low, I took a nap in the afternoon and woke up just in time for dinner with Russel.

The hotel’s restaurant was situated on the top floor, boasting a round glass ceiling and an ocean view.

At night, the ocean was barely visible. Instead, we were treated to a sky full of stars and the multicolored lights of the beach side.

My appetite wasn’t great, so I grabbed a bit to eat and settled down at a table, enjoying the night view as I ate. Russel sat next to me, shelling ‘some nuts for me, saying, “Eat something.”
