Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 514

A couple of days later, I received a call from Faith.

She sounded pissed off. “Rena, Karina is actually in Rosemont! We’ve been fooled!”

I was taken aback. How did Faith find out?

“Faith, where are you?” I asked.

“I’m back in Eldoria. I’ve had a hunch something was off. Hiram is usually so clingy, always begging me to come back home whenever I step out. But this time, he kept insisting I take my time. So, I decided to go back to Eldoria without telling anyone. Surprise, surprise, only Hiram was home alone with a nanny who looked after him, and no sign of Karina at all!” Faith’s voice was seething with anger, and she continued without waiting for my response.

“Hiram and the nanny lied to me, saying Karina was at work. I visited her hospital where she should be working at, but they told me she was on an extended leave! What is she doing sneaking back to Rosemont? I bet it’s no good!”

Indeed, it was no good. Karina had returned to see Russel. Whether or not she was involved in the previous attacks on Whitmore Co., I still had no concrete proof. Russel certainly wouldn’t give me that.

I didn’t know what to say, so I just listened to Faith.

Finally, she was done, and I asked, “Faith, how do you plan to deal with this?”

“Deal with it? I’ll find a way to get Karina out of the Whitmore family. Hiram has to stay. She’s using her own child as a pawn! She’ll ruin him if this goes on!” Faith sounded firm.

“And what if Hiram insists on keeping Karina?” I asked.

Faith seemed stumped by my question. She sighed, “Yeah, if Hiram wasn’t so infatuated with Karina, I would have kicked her out ages ago.”

I didn’t know how to solve this either, so I left it to Faith.

I was meeting Karina today and was worried, and I reassured her. I was about to drive home when I saw a familiar figure rushing into the same cafe I had just left.
