Stunning the World After Divorce Chapter 26 Pure Snake 12 min lett Caroline grabbed William just before he could intervene in the fight . " Stop , William ! What are you doing ? Breaking it up ? " " What else ? Just let them brawl ? " William retorted . Caroline pointed out , " Look around . Anyone else jumping in ? " William frowned , " But Anthony's here for business . If the media gets wind , Supreme Sword's reputation will tank again . " Caroline tapped his temple , " That's even better . Free publicity . " " What on earth- " " Oh , shut up . Go upstairs and eat . Not long after , the police arrived . From upstairs , Caroline watched Caleb and Anthony get taken away . After the meal , she returned to her apartment and flopped onto the couch to shake off the effects of the alcohol . On the table sat the stuff she'd packed up earlier from the Martin Group - two full boxes . 1/9 09:43 Chapter 26 Pure Snake 11 min let Caroline rubbed her temples and then sat up to start sorting through the boxes . Suddenly , her fingers brushed against a card . It was a hotel reservation card , and the name printed on it was Michelle's . Caroline's eyes widened . Cursing her luck , she almost trashed it but paused . It was from the Four Seasons Hotel , funded by the Garcia Group , Martin Group's rival . Caleb wouldn't stay there , and Michelle definitely knew it . Caroline quickly showered , changed clothes , and headed straight to the hotel . Once she walked in , the receptionist asked politely , " Hello , are you checking in ? " " I'm here for the part - time gig , " Caroline replied with a bashful smile . " The manager told me to come in tonight for training . Could you tell me where's that ? " " Oh … Part - time staff ? " She glanced around , not spotting anyone . " Wait here a moment , I'll make a quick call to check for you . " 2/9 09:43 Chapter 26 Pure Snake Caroline said , " Thank you . " 11 min left As soon as the receptionist turned away , Caroline got busy on the computer . Her time at the Martin Group meant she knew their hotel systems inside out . With just a few quick clicks and the reservation card number , she had the info she needed . When Caroline saw Anthony's name , she froze for a few seconds . Then, just as she was processing it , she heard a noise behind her . With no time to think , she quickly closed the tab . The receptionist walked back to the counter and said , " Our team lead said we're not hiring part - timers . " Feigning surprise , Caroline checked her phone , " Oops , wrong hotel . " The receptionist twitched , and Caroline dashed out . Time was tight , so Caroline hadn't snapped a photo , but she had seen enough . Anthony booked the room with his ID , but Michelle held the card . 3/9 09:43 Chapter 26 Pure Snake 11 min left Interesting . Huh . Looks like they've known each other for a while . There's no way he doesn't know how much Michelle despises me . Then , his so - called confession has ulterior motives ! Caroline smirked , lips curling in amusement . Just then , her phone rang . She tapped to answer , and Caleb's voice came through immediately . " Come to the station . " " And I'm supposed to listen to you ? " she shot back . Caleb , barely containing his anger , snapped , " If not for you , would I be at the station ? Do you know how much the Martin Group's losing ? " " Not my damn problem ! " Caroline said sharply , ready to hang up . She'd been generous not to kick him when he was down , and now he expected her to testify ? Suddenly , another voice came through the phone , polite but firm . 4/9 09:43 Chapter 26 Pure Snake 11 min left " Ms. Warren , this is the Chicago Police Station . We need your statement . Please cooperate . " Caroline paused for a beat before reluctantly saying , " Alright . " Half an hour later , she finally arrived at the police station . The moment she stepped inside , she saw two men sitting on opposite sides of the room . Caleb's glare was like a blade . She could even feel the cold , murderous edge from across the room . As for Anthony , his face and body were covered in cuts and bruises . His clothes were wrinkled and filthy , and he looked up at her with those pretty , pitiful eyes . All Caroline could think of at that moment was what a damn actor he was . " Your husband said I hit him first , Caroline . Stand up for me , " Anthony pleaded , his voice dripping with implication . " Look at me . I couldn't take him . Why start something ? You saw it . Tell the truth . " Caroline turned her head and looked him over for a few seconds . That act was Oscar - worthy . Lucky I found that hotel key , or I might've bought your BS . 5/9 09:43 Chapter 26 Pure Snake 11 min left Without acknowledging Anthony , she asked the officers , " Where do I give my statement ? " One of them then led her to the interview room . It didn't take long to give her statement . They asked just a handful of questions , and she answered them all honestly . Within fifteen minutes , she was cleared to go . Just then , Michelle burst through the door , heels clicking as she ran in on four - inch stilettos , Her eyes were red and watery as she threw herself into Caleb's arms , " Are you hurt ? " she asked , her voice trembling , Caroline suddenly let out a sneer , shattering the tender moment between them . " Move , " she said sharply . " Some of us have places to be . " Caleb's eyes flicked toward her , a slight furrow between his brows . Without saying a word , he subtly removed Michelle's hands from his body . Michelle froze for a second , 6/9 09:43 Chapter 26 Pure Snake 11 min left She glanced at Caroline and instantly realized what was going on . Biting her lip , Michelle looked like she was about to cry - her pitiful expression practically begged for sympathy . Right then , an officer pointed at Caleb and said , " You're free to go . " Anthony chimed in , " What about me ? " " You'll have to wait , " the officer replied . Anthony shot Caleb a disgruntled look and mocked , " Wow , Mr. Martin , you beat me up and then had two women show up to bail you out . Must be nice , huh ? Talk about living the dream . " Caleb answered coolly , " Still better than being played like a fool by some manipulative woman . " Caroline , who had already reached the door , paused . She turned on her heel and walked right back in . A sharp smile tugged at her lips . " You want the Supreme Sword ? With that attitude ? Guess I spoiled you rotten . Still act like you're some king or something . Even if I got brain damage , no way I'm signing it over ! " Caleb shrugged . " Didn't mention any names . Why so defensive ? " 7/9 09:44 Chapter 26 Pure Snake Hearing that , Caroline clenched her fists tightly . If they weren't at the police station right now , she would've slapped him right across the face . 11 min left Anthony seized the moment and said , " See ? Classic hothead . I'm way more chill , I swear . Once you're divorced , come be with me . You won't catch me snapping at you like that . " Caroline rolled her eyes hard . Yeah , right , Anthony . At least Caleb's honest about being a jerk . Your nice guy act ? Pure snake . Michelle looked between them and then hesitantly asked Caroline , " What's going on between you and Mr. Garcia ? " " I'm after her , " Anthony admitted without shame . His tone was playful , but his face stayed dead serious . " So , hurry up and bag Mr. Martin , Ms. Adams . Then Caroline's all mine . " Michelle's cheeks flushed pink . " What do you expect me to do ? Mr. Garcia likes Caroline , " she muttered . But even as the words left her mouth , she leaned in toward Caleb , her body betraying her . 8/9 09:44 Chapter 26 Pure Snake Caroline saw it all and nearly burst out laughing . 11 min left " You sure know how to pick your bets , Mr. Garcia . Don't let Ms. Adams ' little secretary title fool you . Won't be long before she becomes Mrs. Martin . " Michelle's eyes welled up instantly , and she said , " I never meant to ruin your family . After Matthew passed , Caleb took care of me , and that alone meant the world to me . I know I'm not good enough for him . " Caroline sneered , " Great . Then pack your bags and leave Chicago .
