L's Revenge

After the lunch was over, London Schneider excused himself to take care of various things and promised to return to meet them at the gala dinner later. He greeted all his guests and then left accompanied by Jan. John and Caroline Wendell looked at each other and smiled when they saw him leave.

John patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "Very good, Caroline. I am very happy to see your relationship with Mr. Schneider. He is a suitable man for you."

"Yes, Father. I think so, too," said Caroline. "But what about Danny? Have you taken care of him?"

John only smiled faintly at Caroline's question. He turned to his daughter and said in a cold voice, "Of course. He won't bother you anymore."

Caroline could only guess what her father had planned. But she did not dare to ask. Her father could be cruel even to his own child. Because of that, she just nodded and stopped asking questions.
