Farewell (Bonus Chapter for Plane Traveler Looks Good, My First Major Patron in Life, 2/3)

Saturday.

Adam drove to the Terrible Parish in West Virginia.

The large iron gate outside the manor was wide open, and several workers were mowing the lawn.

In front of the manor, several cleaning ladies were cleaning.

Caroline stood at the doorway, talking to a construction worker who was holding blueprints, occasionally pointing at the manor.

"Adam, you've come!"

Hearing the car, Caroline turned around and saw Adam, and greeted him with delight.

"Caroline."

Adam got out of the car and was immediately greeted with a warm hug.

Are you alright?

Upon hearing this, Caroline remained silent, only hugging Adam even tighter, as if trying to squeeze her entire body into him.

Adam sighed and patted Caroline on the back.

He sensed Caroline's lingering fear, which further confirmed his suspicions.

"I'm fine."

After a long while, Caroline calmed down, released Adam, and revealed a bright smile, "Mrs. Devaux left all her assets to me, and now I have money to do what I want. I'm planning to convert this manor into a sanatorium."

Congratulations!

Adam observed Caroline's expression and saw that the joy in her eyes was not forced. He knew that although there had been risks and setbacks, everything had gone smoothly and she had achieved her wish. He couldn't help but feel happy for her.

"Where are Mr. Devaux. and Mrs. Devaux?"

"Mr. Devaux has passed away."

A strange glint flashed in Caroline's eyes. "You know, the reason I came here to work as a caregiver is because Mr. Devaux suffered a stroke and is now paralyzed, and Mrs. Devaux suffered a stroke and is now paralyzed due to excessive grief. I am currently taking care of her."

"That's so pitiful."

Adam's expression was somewhat strange.

"Yes."

Caroline nodded, and said meaningfully, "I will take good care of her."

"Did she really leave all her assets to you?"

Adam asked curiously, "Was it fair?"

"It may seem unbelievable, but it's true."

Caroline exclaimed, "The signing and notarization took place just a week after I moved into the estate. I think she loves her husband so much that she sees how well I'm taking care of him and therefore treats me differently."

Furthermore, they have no children and no servants, which is why they want to leave their entire fortune to me. From this perspective, my dream of establishing a nursing home to care for lonely elderly people is even more necessary, because they truly lack family affection.

"It's all fate."

Adam smiled wryly.

Such things do happen.

In his previous life, he had heard stories of billionaire women who left their entire fortune to their male servants, while their relatives received nothing.

However, every gain comes with a price.

The male servant had been working for her like a slave for over ten years, enduring all sorts of extreme humiliations. He couldn't take it anymore and wanted to leave several times, but in the end, he successfully obtained the family property.

Even so, the female tycoon's relatives repeatedly sued the male servant, saying that he had used malicious means to deceive and embezzle the female tycoon's property.

Unfortunately, the inheritance was predetermined and notarized, and it was indeed left to the male servant by the wealthy woman willingly. No matter how angry the woman's relatives were, it was to no avail.

Adam didn't know whether the male servant used any malicious means, but there were countless cases of murder for money.

For example, in United States movies and TV shows, there are often cases of husbands and wives being killed. In these cases, the criminals buy huge life insurance policies for their loved ones in advance, with themselves as the beneficiary. Then they stage an accident to kill their loved ones and obtain the huge insurance money.

Adam's ex-girlfriend, the Amazing Amy, from the original timeline, wanted to frame her husband for murdering her due to various conflicts. A key part of her plan was to trick him into buying her a huge insurance policy.

After she disappears, the insurance money will be crucial evidence, leaving her husband speechless.

Therefore, in the United States, it is a very serious matter to write yourself as the beneficiary when buying life insurance for your loved one, or to write your loved one as the beneficiary when buying life insurance for yourself.

Because this can easily lead to crime.

After all, in the United States, money is everything.

"Caroline, I'm leaving now. Contact me if you need anything."

At this moment, Luke, a middle-aged man in a suit, walked out of the manor, hugged Caroline, nodded to Adam, and drove away.

Adam glanced at Caroline.

He and Luke had met at the hospital, and he didn't believe Luke wouldn't remember him. Besides, Caroline had even tried to scare him with Luke.

Caroline shrugged, offering no explanation as to why Luke Coleman was there.

Adam pretended not to know.

Luke's appearance made him fully understand what had happened.

"Let me show you around."

Caroline pulled Adam along as they began to tour the manor. Inside, cleaners were also on hand, removing and carrying away paintings with religious themes, making the entire room brighter and more spacious.

"Most of the people in this place are believers, and they are superstitious about various religious and mystical elements."

Caroline said calmly, "The Dale couple are a typical example, but I don't really like them, so I had them all removed."

Phoebe calls you an angel.

Adam laughed and said, "With you here, what need is there for any religious or mystical elements here?"

"Hehe."

Caroline couldn't help but laugh, "Phoebe is so cute, she's the real angel."

Adam followed her on a tour of the entire estate, listening to the subtle messages she revealed, and combining them with his guesses, he pieced together what had happened.

Simply put

Following the incident involving the legally brutal little girl at New York University Medical Center, Caroline met Luke Coleman, who took a liking to Luke and chose her as a partner. Together, they plotted to seize the property of the Daiwo couple, who had originally intended to harm them.

The back garden.

A Fat Woman sat in a wheelchair, unable to move, staring blankly at the blooming flowers in the garden.

"This is Mrs. Devaux."

Caroline explained to Adam, "Everything here is thanks to her."

Adam looked at the Fat Woman Fat Woman and saw that her eyes were wide open, as if she were both afraid and pleading for something. When she did not get a response, her eyes turned to resentment and despair.

Caroline smiled, the image of the Fat Woman's wild laughter from that night flashing through her mind again.

"So you still don't understand, Caroline. You were chosen by us. We've waited for you for a long time. From the moment you stepped into this manor, everything we've done has been to make you believe, because only if you truly believe can this Sacrifice Ritual succeed."

The Fat Woman sneered as she pushed the mirror towards Caroline: "Your body is mine now, hahaha!!!"

Unexpectedly, Caroline glanced at Luke, who was standing Jingjing at the door, and saw Luke nod. She stopped swaying and was not knocked down by the mirror. Instead, she caught the mirror lightly.

"How so?"

The Fat Woman immediately sensed something was wrong. "Are you alright?"

"So you still don't understand?"

Caroline gently wiped away the tears that had soaked her makeup and chuckled softly, "Mrs. Devaux, you are the one we chose. We have waited for you for a long time. From the moment I stepped into this manor, everything we have done has been to make you believe, because only if you truly believe can this Sacrifice Ritual succeed."

The Fat Woman swayed involuntarily.

It sounds cool when she says it, but hearing someone else say it to her is a completely different experience...
