1848: Chapter 1842: It Turns Out to Be Caron, That Bachelor!
Ashton Heath, disguised as an old lady who cares, repeatedly advised, “It’s best to buy another lock for the door inside, for added security.
Have the Program Group buy and install it for you tomorrow.”
“That doesn’t seem right, nobody else has done it, and I’ll be the only one…”
“Other people are not my concern.
I only care about my wife.”
“…”
In the past, Joanna Lawrence might have thought he was making a big deal out of nothing.
But today, after going to the bachelor’s house, she was also a bit uneasy and didn’t refute Ashton Heath’s words.
The two chatted for a while and hung up the video call.
Joanna jumped out of bed to close the windows.
She had slept with the windows open the previous two days because she felt stuffy when all the windows were closed.
But now, she no longer cared about being stuffy, safety was the priority.
She closed all the windows, checked again before going to bed, and then felt at ease.

Shortly after 3 am, Joanna woke up from her sleep, feeling thirsty.
Moonlight stread through the thin windows, making the room not too dark even without any lights on.
Just as Joanna was about to get up for a glass of water, she suddenly heard a rustling sound, as if soone was prying the door open.
Startled, she imdiately sobered up and looked towards the door.
In the village houses, the door was locked with a wooden peg; Joanna saw the peg blocking the door was moving.
Soone was indeed prying the door!
Joanna’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest in fright, but she quickly cald down.
Swiftly, she rolled out of bed, tiptoed to a shelf, and took down a vase.
She then tiptoed to the door, waiting for the intruder to enter.
The person prying the door was obviously experienced; the wooden peg was removed in just a few seconds, and the door was opened.
The person outside gently pushed the door open.
Instantly, moonlight flooded in, and as the intruder sneaked inside, Joanna gasped in her heart.
It was Caron, the bachelor!
Even without seeing the intruder’s face clearly, Joanna recognized him by his figure and clothes – Caron.
During the day, she had found Caron’s lecherous gaze sickening.
She had never imagined he would be so audacious as to pry open her door in the middle of the night.
Others were also living in this courtyard.
Joanna watched the disgusting man sneak into her room, hiding behind the door while clutching her phone and vase.
Once inside, the man was too impatient to close the door and went straight for the only bed in the room.
As he approached the bed, Joanna saw his excited, trembling hands lift the covers.
Seeing no one under the covers, the man appeared stunned.
At that mont, Joanna ca up behind him.
Caron hadn’t noticed her at all, and as he turned to search for Joanna, she unhesitatingly raised the vase in her hand and slamd it onto his head.
A scream rang out as blood gushed down Caron’s forehead.
His eyes widened as he saw Joanna behind him, and they grew even larger.
Subsequently, he rolled his eyes and fell face-first to the floor.
