Finale 2: Caitlin

"Why would the Firos family recommend you to the police station? Don't tell me what kind of newbie experience is this."

After carefully reading the recommendation letter in her hand, Sheriff Caitlin suddenly felt confused.

She turned her eyes back to the girl in front of her. She was a fair and peaceful beautiful girl, sitting upright on the seat with a smile, and her words and deeds were very appropriate.

But even such a gentle and easy-going girl made Caitlin look into scrutiny, as if she was looking at some kind of beast.

It was common for the big family to put the spies they trained into the police station to experience it, but when they learned that they recommended both sides, Caitlin was still shocked.

Although she has done it many times, she has never been as resistant to such things as she is now.

"My father can't wait. You have not made any progress in three years. Let go, I will take your place."

Caitlin thought the other party would say some polite words in a tactful way and then reveal some things, but she didn't expect the other party to express her purpose directly. This made her heart sank. It turned out that the person who came was not kind.

"Jina, I won't let you succeed. Want to replace me? You'd better start with a little police officer."

“As you wish.”

The girl quietly left the office, leaving Caitlin rubbing her temples with a headache and murmured alone. "What the hell is he trying to do? Is it intentionally targeting me... or is the Phiros family going to control the entire police station?"

The matter starts three years ago.

At that time, Caitlin and Geno had a much better relationship than they are now. They had a lot of contact in private on weekdays, and suddenly they liked each other. Even her parents liked this young man very much, and repeatedly urged her to marry him when she met someone she liked.

But on the night when the relationship was almost confirmed, Geno proposed a condition that Caitlin could not accept--I would like to marry into the Firos family, but she had to resign from the police station first and enter the house without any rights.

"What a joke? I'm marrying you and not Philos Group, why do you want me to resign from the position of sheriff?" At that time, Caitlin started arguing with Geno. She didn't want to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife. She became a cage bird and lost her freedom and independence.

"This is mainly what Kamil means."

"Mainly? What about that time?" Caitlin knew that someone must have intervened. It turned out that Kamil was guarding against her. A justice sheriff who could freely enter and exit the family's mansion was indeed something that every family would not want to see.

"I don't want you to continue working either. This profession is too dangerous."

"My parents have said this to me countless times."

Caitlin's parents didn't want their daughter to overdraw from five to nine for a high-risk job. As weapons experts, they didn't care about the little money Caitlin worked hard to earn. But even so, they couldn't control the strong Caitlin. She took great pressure to get to the position of Sheriff Picheng.

But even so, her efforts are still insignificant in front of the big family. With just a little design, the isolated sheriff will lose everything overnight.

It is said that once she enters a wealthy family, she now knows that career and love are the same, and this choice cannot be rejected.

Her original intention did not allow her to give up and step down like this, but reason told her that she could not give up this hard-won relationship. Finally, in the midst of all the entanglement, she sought a way to compromise with Geno.

"Can I find out the kidnapping case of my parents before resigning?"

"Katelyn, you have been a sheriff for almost five years, and that case is still unclear. And you will be thirty next year, so why do you still waste your youth on it?"

"Can't even you understand me..." This selfish sentence made Caitlin feel heartbroken.

It’s okay if she doesn’t support her parents in this business, but now even Jeno wants to let her give up. She suddenly felt extremely tired and shaky.

In the end, when Geno saw Caitlin's haggard look, he couldn't bear to compromise: "I'll give you three years to investigate the case of Organization C. If there is no result at that time, I will personally help you make a choice."

Caitlin was dizzy at the time and agreed without thinking too much. When she came to her senses, Geno had already merged into the night and left. And he rarely met her in private since then, as if the two had broken up.

She couldn't guess what Geno thought of doing this. Did he want her to resolve the case with all his heart? Or would he take this opportunity to leave her justifiably. This is much harder to guess than the criminal psychology. She once thought that the two of them had gone strangers from then on, and their vows were gone.

Now, three years have almost passed, and she still has no idea.

It was not until just now that Jena suddenly appeared that she realized again that Jenno had been paying attention to her.

After something like this happened, Caitlin was in a state of no mood for work all day. She only drank coffee on weekdays and suddenly wanted to drink, but she couldn't drink during work. She waited until after get off work and asked Wei to bring her a bottle.

Caitlin locked herself in the door as soon as she got home. The two old men were very curious about this. Caitlin, who usually worked overtime until late at night, would get off work on time abnormally today.

The lights in the room soon dimmed. Caitlin took off all her underwear and collapsed on the bed, blocking her forehead and thinking about what had happened in the past three years.

She worked hard to handle the case and cleared countless hidden dangers for the city. But those criminals were like weeds, and they quickly grew one after another, but there was no clue about the C organization that kidnapped her parents.

She didn't know why she was working so hard. She had climbed to the highest point of her vocation and had no room for promotion. But she still couldn't change the composition of the police station. After all, it was just a puppet organization under the control of various forces, specifically used to control public opinion and clean up the mess left by spies.

Compared to Geno, Caitlin felt that the past three years had passed.

Since the completion of the Rinomen Power Station, the Philos Group has successively launched a series of pre-designed electrical appliances, crazily constraining its wealth. Now, with its monopoly position in the new energy industry, it has surpassed other families in one fell swoop and became the largest family chaebol in Piltwolf.

Jeno, who frequently appears in public and explains his advanced design concepts to people, became the spokesperson of the Philos Group.

In the past, the Philos Group might have to test her if she wanted to touch her, but now it's just a matter of one sentence. Whenever I think of this, Caitlin feels extremely stressed.

It is foreseeable that if Jeno comes true, then Jena will soon replace her as a sheriff, and what will she do when she is facing unemployment? Do you really have to marry into a full-time housewife?

With the alcohol, Caitlin emptyed her brain and fell asleep in a drowsy way.

For some time next, Caitlin was still investigating the kidnapping case that year. But before the other party was exposed, she first waited for the news that the regional governor asked her to take a long vacation.

Caitlin could not accept all this. Although she was not removed from the title of sheriff, her power was already undermined and she could no longer use the resources in the police station. Without these resources, it would be even more difficult for her to personally investigate the C Organization.

She found Jiena angrily, took her to the corner where no one was, and questioned: "Where is Jeno? I want to see him!"

"Father, he is waiting for you in the old place." Jiena did not mean to ridicule Caitlin. She answered calmly, as if she had completed a trivial task.

"Old place?"

...

Caitlin came to the clock tower where she usually feeds pigeons. At the top of the stairs, she met the man who was once very far away from her.

He was wearing a straight uniform, leaning on the wall with one shoulder, looking down at her from a high point. The look made Caitlin, who had just left the job, realize the asymmetry in their status.

Now he is the richest person in the world, and Piltwolf, who controls everything in the chaebol, is equivalent to an emperor-like existence, a person Caitlin can't afford to offend no matter what.

"Jeno." But Katherine felt that the name was a little unfamiliar.

"Are you here to accuse the unfair treatment you have encountered? I have given you a chance, you are useless." Geno looked at her and spoke indifferently. His voice had not changed much from before, but he had a thorn in his words, as if he was deliberately trying to arouse her anger.

"Why does the Phiros family blatantly control the police station? You must be more than just asking Jiena to replace me!"

Caitlin ignored Geno's sarcasm, but his various actions made her feel that the relationship had changed.

"We do want to implement some strategies to suppress other families through the police station. As for more information, you will slowly find out when you marry into the Firos family."

No big family will let their influence stay in a certain field. Controlling the police station is equivalent to controlling public opinion. Geno has a deep understanding of how powerful the public opinion is.

"No! I won't agree!" Caitlin resisted and became the canary in the cage. She refused firmly until Geno asked a question on his face.

"You want to break the contract?"

Caitlin met his gaze fearlessly: "Even if Sheriff Caitlin is now in name only, I will continue to investigate Organization C as a private detective as before. No need to worry about so many troubles in the police station, maybe my efficiency will be improved."

These words made Geno both angry and helpless. He had to break her naive fantasy and be slutty.

"Don't be stupid, that must be done by a big family. Which small character dares to kidnap your parents to develop new weapons? You can't even find out when you were in the police station, let alone say that you will do it alone. Information that will not be open to civilians will not be found even if you rack your brains. Moreover, you have left the police station now and have no background. Once exposed, they can even kill you without any scruples!"

The cruelty of reality doesn't require Geno to teach Caitlin, it's just something she can't see, and he needs to mention it.

"You say that people of my level cannot access that information?" The shocked Caitlin ignored most of the warnings and focused her attention on a certain point... She seemed to have discovered a breakthrough in the case from Geno's words.

Looking at Caitlin's thoughtful expression, Geno knew she was going to take risks again.

"Even if you are the sheriff, if you don't have a family background, you will always be an outsider!" He pinched her chin, straightened her face to him, and warned again.

"Do you know anything about Organization C?" Caitlin met his eyes.

The eyes were so sharp that she could not look directly at him, but she had to force herself to look at him intently, trying to see even a trace of dodging from the depths of his pupils, so that she could make sure that what he said was true or scare her.

"I don't know." Geno shook his head, then leaned into Caitlin's ear and whispered: "But I know, if you want to continue investigating this, then join the Firos family. I can guarantee that you will gain greater power because of this. With the support of the family, you and your parents will be much safer. And you can also use this to ask Jena, who is in the police station to help you... In this way, even if you leave, you actually have more and less resources. Moreover, no one has ever said that a wife cannot work as a private detective part-time..."

Geno's whisper moved Caitlin like a demon's whisper. She began to consider a different way to solve the problem that had plagued her for more than ten years. In any case, she would never let the mysterious C organization continue to be at large.

When she came to her senses, she suddenly realized that the atmosphere had become beautiful.

"How are you... have you considered it?"

The frivolous words seemed to still echo in my ears, and with the heavy male breath hitting the smooth neck. This mature but unearthed body could not withstand any teasing, and soon she fell into a gentle place.

"Hmm..." she replied.
