Phalicia took back her gaze at him: “Nice style.”
She opened the door to go out, but Horacio pulled her back.
“You already took pictures, still put up with it?”
Phalicia finally frowned a little.
She didn’t like the sentence She doesn’t like Horacio.
It was like she could put up with anything for some kind of benefit, like Caleb, she could do anything.
Phalicia said coldly, “This is my business, Mr. Thatcher.”
Horacio paused, opened the door, and went out, bringing a gust of wind.
Phalicia stood there and let out a slow breath. After a while, she left too.

In the private room, Carlene got drunk.
Caleb was sitting at the table. When he saw Phalicia coming, he put away his phone and looked up at her with a smile. “Why did you take so long in the bathroom? Did you see something interesting and go gossiping?”
That question was asked on purpose and sounded weird.
Phalicia looked straight at him: “Yeah, I saw something I shouldn’t have.”
Caleb tensed up a bit, his back stiffening. “What did you see?”
Phalicia walked over, looked at his lips that were a bit swollen from their intense kissing, and smiled, “I saw a guy bring his mistress to dinner and

his wife caught them, right next to us.”
“Really? I didn’t know that, didn’t hear anything.” Caleb relaxed again.
Phalicia picked up her bag: “So people really shouldn’t do anything shady. One day, if it gets found out, karma will come.”
She smiled at Caleb, “I really believed in karma, seriously, you should do more good things and build up some good karma for yourself.”
Caleb’s expression changed a little when he heard this.
He got up right away and helped Carlene up, giving Phalicia a look and joking helplessly, “Doesn’t this count as doing a good deed?”
Phalicia gave a half–smile and turned to leave first.
She watched Caleb shove Carlene into the back seat: “Let Carlene stay at my place tonight.”
Caleb raised his hand to signal the driver to come over and start the car, and then opened the other car door for Phalicia.
“You guys just cleared things up, so you should really catch up and bond.”
Phalicia sat inside and looked out the window.
After getting home, Caleb put Carlene on the couch, had a glass of water, sat for a bit, then left.
As soon as the person left, Phalicia grabbed Carlene’s bag, took out the phone inside, and used Carlene’s fingerprint to unlock it.
After she turned on her phone, she went straight to the social app. She wanted to check her chat history with Caleb, but she found that right below Caleb’s chat box was Shevonne’s name.

Phalicia paused and tapped the chat box with her fingertip.
The last message in the chat was Carlene’s location.
Shevonne: “Carlene, do you think Cal really didn’t like me?”
Carlene: “No way! Don’t worry, you’re the one he cared about most. As long as you came, even if he was having dinner with Phalicia, he’d find a way to go out and see you.”
Watching Carlene act like a big sister to Shevonne, Phalicia slowly tightened her grip on her phone, her eyes cold.
Carlene and Shevonne didn’t know each other before.
Now it looked like they got along so well, but actually, one just wanted to get closer to Caleb with Carlene’s help, and the other thought Shevonne would be the boss’s wife of Voyage Group in the future, so she wanted to build a good relationship and play matchmaker more.
Phalicia left the chat box, opened Carlene and Caleb’s, scrolled past the comments that put down her work, and looked for useful info.
Soon, her hand stopped.
At noon today, before Carlene went to Caleb’s office to see him, she asked about her parents on her phone.
Caleb said he already arranged for the doctor to treat her, and also said whether her parents were healthy or not didn’t matter, since they weren’t any threat anyway, so he might as well use them to fool her.
Seeing this, Phalicia felt sick and relieved.
Luckily, before the winter limited edition design was released, she had already found out who they really were.

Otherwise, her hard work would have been released, made a ton of money for Voyage Group, pushed Carlene to another level, and Shevonne would have already gone back home to start fighting for it.
At that time, when she was no longer useful, I couldn’t imagine what would happen to her and her parents.
With Caleb’s ruthless personality, he absolutely wouldn’t let anyone who could be a threat and knew his true nature live peacefully in this city.
Should I try to send her to jail like my brother?
