Chapter 50
Under the pavilion.
Jayden told Caroline about the daytime reconnaissance. The forensics performed the autopsy and found something in the
victim’s throat.
“This is what we found in Sally’s mouth. Take a look at the picture.”
Jayden handed over a picture of physical evidence to Caroline. Under the light of the pavilion, Caroline could see that the picture showed a specially designed cufflink.
“Is it a cufflink?”
“Yes! Our initial suspicion is that the cufflink was most likely on the murderer’s body. Before Sally died, she swallowed it and left such a clue.”
“With the cufflink, can we conclude that the person who killed her might be a man?”
“It’s possible!”
It was the first time Caroline had seen the cufflink style. “The cufflink style is special. It looks like it’s customized. I’ve never seen this cufflink style before.
Caroline was a fashion designer herself. Vera was the luxury Haute Couture brand that she founded. She knew most of the world’s fabrics and accessories, including cufflinks.
However, the cufflink she was looking at now had an odd shape and model. It was not a regular round or square shape.
Instead, it was a hexagon made of black gold.
What an odd design. Who on earth would use this cufflink?
Perhaps they could get a clue to find where the cufflink was made.
A black behemoth ran over from afar just as Caroline and Jayden analyzed the case.
It was a black purebred mastiff raised by the Xydias family. It was fierce by nature and very aggressive. It was usually locked in a cage.
Caroline’s hearing was quite sharp. When she heard a commotion behind her, she subconsciously turned around..
When Caroline saw a black lion–like mastiff pouncing at her with its fangs open and attacking her, she immediately swept her leg quickly and ruthlessly, hitting the mastiff’s head.
The mastiff fell to one side, but it attacked again.
Caroline jumped and stepped on the pavilion’s edge to avoid the mastiff’s attack.
Savannah and Melody observed the scene and secretly exerted strength in the shadow.
“Go, Thunderbolt!
“Bite that woman to death!”
“Thunderbolt!” shouted Jayden at once, realizing the mastiff was raised by his own family.
Thunderbolt wanted to attack Caroline again, but Jayden punched it in the head. “Thunderbolt! What are you doing? Stop
it!”
After being punched by its master, Thunderbolt finally restrained itself and stopped chasing after Caroline.
Jayden grabbed the collar around Thunderbolt’s neck and apologized, “I’m sorry, Ms. Caroline. I don’t know why the mastiff suddenly ran out. Does it scare you?”
“It’s okay.”
Caroline jumped down from the high place. If she did not have some skills, the mastiff might have bitten the back of her neck just now. She would probably have died on the spot.
Just thinking about it sent a chill down her spine!
“Please go back to the villa first. I’ll take it back!”
Then Jayden pulled the mastiff away.
Caroline put away the physical evidence picture and left the pavilion toward the main villa
At this moment, Savannah and Melody walked out from the shadow and blocked Caroline’s way.

Chapter 50
“Melody, did you see it? The woman just seduced Jayden!”
“I see it!”
Melody’s eyes were burning with anger. She gritted her teeth and moved forward to strike Caroline.
“You bitch!” said Melody.
However, her wrist was grabbed by Caroline. Caroline retorted, “Who is the bitch scolding?”
“The bitch is scolding you!”
Melody shouted hatefully. Then she realized that she seemed to have been tricked. She became furious.
The way Mrs. Xydias welcomes me is special. There’s no need to be so humble.”
Caroline shook off Melody’s hand and said coldly, “If I’m not wrong, you released that mastiff just now? Do you want it to
attack me?”
“That’s right. I do wish it could bite you to death. You are seducing men everywhere. Enough! How dare you come to my house to seduce my husband!” said Melody.
“Captain Xydias and I are just discussing a case,” said Caroline. “We don’t have any other relationship. On the other hand, Mrs. Xydias, why are you acting like a shrew when you come from a prestigious family? You’ve been married to Captain Xydias for many years. Don’t you have any trust in your husband?”
Caroline’s words were powerful and resounding. Melody had nothing to refute and could only stare at her angrily.
The laughter came from the villa. Caroline said, “Your son’s birthday party has started. Don’t miss the happy moment! Women should not get angry casually because the anger can lead to wrinkles!”
Then Caroline turned around and walked away gracefully. Melody was even angrier. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Savannah stirred up trouble by saying. “Melody, you’ve met the master this time! Caroline has a bit of class!”
“You don’t have to tell me. I know!” said Melody.
It was her son’s birthday party today. With so many guests here, Melody couldn’t say anything more. So she returned to the villa with Savannah.
When Caroline entered, she heard the ear–piercing sound of glassware collapsing in the banquet hall.
She followed the sound and saw that Mayson had accidentally tripped and hit the champagne tower.
Many guests screamed. Caroline immediately rushed forward and pulled her son to the side to avoid being scratched by the glass shards.
“Well, whose child did this?”
“They’re all broken. For crying out loud!”
Many people were shouting. Lilian could not help but roll her eyes. She knew that the boy from the Ziegler family always liked to cause trouble.
However, Lilian did not expect him to misbehave at their house today. Was he trying to cause trouble or something?
Wasn’t he deliberately making things difficult for the Xydias family?
Carmen hated Leon, and so did her sister, Lilian..
When Amelia and Romilly saw Leon causing trouble in the Xydias family, they secretly exchanged glances and were very proud. It was time to teach that kid a lesson.
The kid was being unreasonable at home and even trying to be so when he came out. Someone would teach him how to behave!
Catherine realized that it was Leo who had done it. She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry. My little Leo accidentally knocked down the champagne tower. I’m so sorry.
Alyssa said, “Well, It’s fine. Everything’s fine now as long as Leo hasn’t been hurt!”
“Yes, yes. Everything’s fine.”
Steven quickly instructed the servants to come in and clean up the scene.
Savannah and Melody also came in. When they smelled the strong smell of champagne at the banquet hall, they figured out what had happened and looked at Caroline and the child she was protecting.
Chapter 50
Melody had also seen the news and knew that Caroline, her identity as a stepmother, protected that little brat acting as his mother. She even dared to beat Yasmin.
However, Yasmin went overboard and deserved to be beaten up. But it was Melody’s son’s birthday party today. How could she tolerate that brat ruining it?
Melody would not give up just like that. She looked at Caroline and said. “Ms. Lewis, although Leon did it by accident, shouldn’t you, as his stepmother, let him apologize in public?”
Caroline looked at Melody and knew Melody did it on purpose.
Melody was unhappy with the competition outside just now and wanted to take revenge.
Firstly, Melody deliberately mentioned Caroline’s identity as a stepmother to humiliate her. Secondly, Melody knew that it was impossible for Leon to speak, but she still made such a request. Wasn’t it because Melody wanted outsiders to know that Leon couldn’t speak and wanted others to laugh at him?
At this moment, everyone was staring at Caroline and her son, waiting for them to apologize!
