Chapter 66: Returning to San Francisco

Carlisle’s house was as big as Miles’, and as luxurious as a palace.

Tang Yu’s heart ached. These rich people were really wasteful. They lived in such big houses all by themselves, yet there was not a hint of life in them. It was unbelievably sterile.

She searched through more than a dozen rooms and there was not a painting in sight, let alone photos.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, she finally found the study room. She pushed the door open before entering, and the smell of books filled her nose.

There was hope!

Tang Yu turned on her flashlight excitedly, preparing to search the entire room. First and foremost was the bookshelf.. True enough, there was really a photo on it.

She could not wait to look. She tiptoed, wanting to take the photo away. However, her fingertips were just a few inches short.

Just a little bit more…

Tang Yu stretched her arms, trying her very best to reach it.

Just a little bit more…

It was amazing to be tall. All of the photos were on the same level, so she couldn’t get the others either.

She became exhausted, and was just about to give up. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind, bringing the photos down from the shelf.

The feeling was too familiar..

Tang Yu felt a chill in her heart.

Carlisle had deliberately… placed the photos at this height!

A cold voice came from behind. “Actually, you don’t have to work so hard…”

It was Carlisle.

He turned on the lights as he pressed some buttons on a remote. As soon as he pressed it, a hanging board slowly descended. The board was covered with newspapers, photos, notes, and all sorts of information.

“This is why I asked you to come over. Some things can only be seen here…”

Tang Yu’s eyes scanned the entire wall. She was shocked. “You’ve been investigating Miles…”

“No, to be precise, it’s the Hawk family.”

She looked at it for a long time. Despite the huge amount of information, there was not much about Miles. “So, you don’t actually know anything…”

Carlisle smiled teasingly. “Would you have slept with me if you knew?”

“Don’t come over, or I’ll hit you.”Tang Yu was ready to fight.

He insisted on stopping her.

She was not going to be polite this time, and she aimed a punch into his handsome face. He was quick to react, however, dodging the attack with ease. He immediately extended his hand to deflect her next move.

She did not expect Carlisle to be this skilled.

Tang Yu knew that she could not beat him. A wise man did not take a loss when the odds were against him. She decided that running away would be the best strategy. After putting up a feint, she was about to run when he pulled her into his embrace.

Heburied his head in her shoulder as his warm breath radiated onto the back of her neck.

After greedily absorbing her scent, he said leisurely, “I know how to find Miles.”

Carlisle arranged for her to meet Adam at a coffee shop.

When Adam saw Tang Yu from afar, he ran away as fast as he could. It was as if he had seen a ferocious beast.

Tang Yu shouted, “Carlisle!”

A black figure appeared in front of Adam like a bolt of lightning and grabbed him.

“Carlisle! Why are you helping her?” Adam looked at him in disbelief.

He shrugged. “I had no choice. She had seduced and charmed me. I couldn’t sleep at night because of her. She was stuck in my mind so much that I was going to fall apart.”

Tang Yu questioned Adam, “Where did Miles go? What happened to him?”

Adam wanted to say something, but hesitated. He looked at her and then at Carlisle. The both of them were not to be trifled with.

“Sister-in-law, let me go. I can’t stay with you for too long.” Adam gestured to his surroundings. They might be monitoring me.

“Your father was taken away by a mysterious person. Miles went to another nation. That’s all I can tell you…”

“Where did he go?”

“San Francisco.”

San Francisco… What a coincidence… It was the city where her family used to live. Back then, her parents had divorced, and when they were chased out of San Francisco, Dad had no choice but to bring her to uncle here.

Tang Yu did not say anything else, returning home alone silently. She then packed her luggage and booked a plane ticket to San Francisco for the next day.

“Xiaofeng, I’m going to San Francisco.”

“Have you really thought it through? You’re pregnant and yet you’re going to such a faraway place alone!”

“I’m worrying about Miles! I can’t eat or sleep here, so this is the only thing I can do! I want to use my own strength to get to know him, help him settle his problems, and that annoying fiance. She’s probably seducing my husband over there! How can I not go and personally oversee things?”

“The original wife is a mistress! I support you, Xiao Yu. You can always call me for advice!”

She did not want to return to San Francisco. She was afraid of confronting her past and potentially seeing her mother again. For Miles, however, she went regardless.

Anyway, she was already married to Miles. She would have to live here in the future anyway.

It was good to leave London. She could finally get rid of that pervert Carlisle.
