Chapter 86 

According to Michael and Quintin, the person locked inside was a crazy servant. Was that really the case

Caroline was too curious. In the end, she could not help but walk toward the small building

The door of the small building was locked from the outside, but this was not a problem for Caroline. She used a wire and quickly picked the lock open

Caroline pushed the door open and walked in. The first floor was pitchblack

Caroline lit up the flashlight on her phone to dispel the darkness

There was a faint musty smell in the house. It was caused by the fact that the door was closed all year round, and the air could not be circulated

After finding the stairs leading to the second floor. Caroline slowly ascended the stairs

The closer Caroline got to the second floor, the more clearly the woman’s moans could be heard

The door upstairs was unlocked. Caroline took a deep breath, pushed it open, and stepped inside

The smell in the room was not pleasant. Under the dim yellow light, Caroline saw a woman lying on the bed

There was a chain around her neck. Her long hair was messy, and she looked ghastly. There was a hint of despair in her eyes

Waterwater… 

The woman wanted to reach for the glass of water on the bedside table but was too weak to do so

Caroline was shocked by the scene in front of her. Why didn’t they send such a crazy servant to a mental hospital but lock her up here

The most unacceptable thing was that she was actually tied up like a dog on a leash

When Caroline saw that the woman could not reach the glass, she stepped forward to help the woman get it and handed it to the woman to drink

The woman’s trembling hand finally grabbed the glass and got to drink the water

After drinking the water, the woman’s strength was depleted. The glass in her hand fell to the ground

She fell back onto the bed and faced Caroline. She asked in a hoarse voice, Who are you?” 

Caroline was shocked again. From her tone, she did not sound like a lunatic at all

I was just passing by. I heard your cry and came upstairs to take a look. Who are you?Caroline asked

Hush.” 

The woman made a shushing gesture. Don’t speak so loudly. They’ll hear you

Young lady, kind lady, help me. Save me, and get me out of here…“ 

Who are you? Why are you locked up here?Caroline asked in detail

My name is Jocelyn White. Stella is my sister. She is David’s first wife… 

Save me, kind girl. I beg you” 

Caroline was shocked to hear her selfintroduction

Stella was Quintin’s biological mother, and Jocelyn was Quintin’s aunt

Didn’t they say that it was a crazy servant who was locked up here? But why did it turn out to be Jocelyn

Caroline had already realized that this was a serious matter. Perhaps even Quintin did not know that his aunt was actually locked up here

What exactly was the reason

Before Caroline could think about it, she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. She quickly said to Jocelyn, Someone’s coming. I’ll hide first!” 

Caroline hid in a hidden corner of the house

Soon, hurried footsteps came in from outside the door. It was Michael who came in with the food

Michael saw that the lock on the front door was picked open and realized that the situation was bad. He quickly ran upstairs to check. He was only relieved when he saw that the woman was still lying on the bed

Did someone just come here?” 

Chapter 86 

Michael put down the tray and asked

I don’t knowJocelyn replied calmly

Seeing that Jocelyn was no different from usual, Michael approached her, helped her up, and began feeding her

In the dark, Caroline was wondering why Michael had lied

Michael knew that the person locked up here was not a crazy servant, yet why did he lie

What was their intention in locking Jocelyn up here

Did Jocelyn have anything to do with Stella’s disappearance

What happened next made Caroline’s hair stand on end

Caroline thought that Michael was a gentleman, but she did not expect Michael to force himself on Jocelyn after Michael fed Jocelyn

Judging from the familiarity of his action, it probably was not the first time he had done this to Jocelyn. Jocelyn could only endure it silently

After Michael was done, Caroline heard him say to the woman, Don’t scream. I’ll go back first. I’ll come and see you again 

tomorrow!” 

After Michael left, he locked the front door on the first floor

After confirming that the man had left, Caroline walked out from the dark and glanced at the woman lying on the bed. The woman’s eyes were filled with despair

Does Michael often do that to you?Caroline asked

Jocelyn nodded with tears in her eyes

Do you have anything that can prove your identity? I need to confirm your identity before I can save you!Caroline asked. Jocelyn thought for a moment and said, Look at the back of my neck. There’s a purplish spot. It’s a birthmark!” 

Caroline leaned over to take a look. Sure enough, she saw a purplish birthmark. Alright, I got it. Wait for me!” 

Caroline left the solitary building after explaining to Jocelyn

Since Caroline could not leave through the front door, she jumped down from the window on the second floor and landed on the ground effortlessly

After returning to Tanglevine Residence, Caroline took a shower before returning to the bedroom on the first floor

Her son, Mayson, was already asleep on the small bed. Quintin was still awake

When Quintin heard Caroline’s footsteps, he asked, Why were you gone so long?” 

Caroline did not answer. After sitting down on the small bed, Caroline asked, Quintin, do you remember if your aunt’s name is Jocelyn?” 

That’s right. Why?” 

Do you know where she went?” 

My aunt went abroad. She emigrated many years ago and never came back. But she sends me postcards every year.” 

In short, Quintin’s aunt left not long after his mother’s accident

Where are those postcards?” 

They are in my study drawer.” 

Caroline walked out again. Not long after, she brought back many postcards

Caroline looked at the postmarks on the postcards one by one. They were actually from all over the world

These postcards are from different countries.” 

Yes, my aunt likes to travel and go to different countries. Why are you suddenly asking about my aunt?” 

It turned out that Quintin thought that his aunt had been traveling abroad

Was the woman on the second floor of that solitary building Quintin’s aunt

distinctive features?” 

I’ve seen a photo of you and your aunt on the wall. I’m just curious. Do you know if your aunt has any Quintin thought carefully about it and said, My aunt has a purplish birthmark on the back of her neck. It looks like a butterfly.” 

That was it

Chapter 86 

Quintin got it right

The woman on the second floor of the solitary building was Jocelyn, indeed

Therefore, Quintin’s aunt did not travel or emigrate abroad. Instead, she was hidden against her will in a solitary building in the Ziegler residence. A lie was conjured to pull the wool over people’s eyes, claiming that it was a crazy servant who was 

locked up

At the thought of this, Caroline said in a serious tone, Quintin, I have to tell you something. You’ll definitely be so shocked that you won’t be able to sleep

What is it?Quintin’s heart tightened
