Chapter 117
Normally, Caitlin would feel like her emotions were on a rollercoaster after being wronged one moment and receiving such a great honor the set she didn’t. Instead, she was calm, her expression neutral and unruffled, as if she were detached from the situation entirely
When Felix handed her the 1 million bonus check, Caitlin did not accept it.
“Thank you for the recognition from the police department,” she said, “but I don’t need the 1 million, I’d like Felix to distribute this bonus to the families of the victims. They need the compensation more than I do. Even if it’s just a small amount, I hope it can help them.”
No one expected Caitlin to make such an arrangement. She refused the 1 million and showed more concern for the families of the deceased. Her magnanimity was truly humbling and moving.
Felix, emotionally stirred, was thoroughly impressed by this woman. His admiration for her grew tremendously
Sebastian, too, was shaken by her actions. He couldn’t understand it. She didn’t care about 10 million, didn’t want I million either–was she truly indifferent to money, or was she just putting on a facade?
Felix nodded eagerly, “I’ll make sure your wishes are fulfilled. Also, there’s something from the families of the victims, a thank–you banner they had made in your honor. They wanted you to have it.”
Caitlin didn’t really care for these types of honors, but since Felix had brought it personally, she couldn’t refuse. “Alright, I’ll accept the banner. Please thank them for me.”
Felix’s face brightened. “Thank you, Caitlin. By the way, the reporters would like to interview you. They’re hoping to feature you as a model for the people, given the importance of this case.”
Caitlin shook her head. “I’m sorry, I don’t have time for interviews. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now.”
Before she left, Caitlin turned to Sebastian. “Thank you again, Mr. Vanderbilt, for your help earlier. Goodbye.”
With that, she turned and walked away, her silhouette disappearing from view.
Xavi stood frozen, watching Caitlin leave. He had never admired a woman before, but now, without a doubt, Caitlin was the one.
Tyler also felt the same, believing that only such a woman was worthy of their boss. But sadly, they had already divorced,
Sebastian, however, seemed the most stunned. He had just witnessed Caitlin’s cool composure, and for a moment, two words flashed in his mind:
“Cool.”
It was the first time he had such a thought about Caitlin. As he watched her leave, he couldn’t quite grasp what he was feeling–she left without a second glance, without a trace of lingering attachment, yet he felt a strange reluctance.
Felix and Sebastian exchanged pleasantries before leaving. The three women–Grace, Yasmin, and Hazel–were about to spend a pleasant 24 hours in detention, a much–needed “tour” by the police.
Xavi, pushing Sebastian back to the Vanderbilt estate, couldn’t contain his excitement. “Caitlin is amazing! She caught the serial killer! How did she even
do it?”
Tyler agreed, “She’s definitely impressive!”
Sebastian, however, wasn’t as enthusiastic. “Impressive? She’s a witch! You guys have no idea how much she’s messed with me.”
He muttered, clearly irritated. Strangely, despite the divorce, he didn’t feel the relief he had expected. Instead, he was inexplicably down.
“You know,” Xavi remarked, “if Caitlin hadn’t been here, Mr. Vanderbilt, you and Howard would be in a very ancient situation.”

Sebastian frowned. “That’s because you’re all so useless! I should send you to the training camp for some real disciplines
Xavi was on the verge of tears. Was his boss suddenly out to get him? Was he going to be sent to The Obsidian Order’s hetfish training camp Mat He
didn’t want to die so soon!
“What is it?”
