Karina’s suspicion deepened, and a realization dawned on her.
“Wait, Kennedi, you only told me about one man. The one who approached you, wrestled control of
your father’s company, and threw your father behind bars. Is Barlow the scoundrel you were referring
to?”
“Yes, it’s him”
The revelation shook Karina to her core.
Karina looked at Kennedi as she recalled the information Rosalynn had told her about Barlow.
“So, your father owned Sun Group?” Karina’s voice quivered.
Kennedi confirmed, “Yes.”
The revelation sent shockwaves through Karina.
She couldn’t help but probe further.

“Yes.”
“Why?” Karina’s voice was tinged with a mixture of confusion and hurt.
“Because you are Rosalynn’s best friend.”
After a brief pause, Kennedi continued, “Barlow is infatuated with Rosalynn, and I wanted to get close
to her to destroy their relationship. However, I found you more approachable, so I decided to befriend
you first.”
Karina looked up and asked, “Kennedi, why are you involving us in this? Your family’s tragedy has
nothing to do with us, right?”
“You are right. It has nothing to do with you, but it has everything to do with Barlow.”
Kennedi sighed and then looked down at Karina.
“Karina, remember when you taught me to confront a vile and unscrupulous man like Barlow with
courage?”
Karina was left speechless, regret gnawing at her.
Could she take back those words now?
“Kennedi, what do you expect to gain from kidnapping me?”
Kennedi fixed her gaze on Karina.
“You haven’t answered my question.
Do you like him?”
Karina pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Your silence tells me that you like him.”
Squatting down once more to meet Karina’s eyes, Kennedi continued,
“Karina, do you think he likes you?”
Did Barlow harbor any feelings for her?

Thinking back to the sardonic grin on Barlow’s face, Karina replied,
“You have called him a jerk yourself. Why would he be interested in me?”
A flash of anger flitted across Kennedi’s eyes.
“If you know he is a jerk, why did you give yourself to him? How can you be so shameless?”
Did Kennedi know that she had slept with Barlow?
Confronting Kennedi’s furious expression, Karina said, “That’s my business. What I want has nothing to
do with you. Kennedi, I get it.
You hate Barlow. But where does that hate come from if not from love?
You have feelings for him, right? But he does not like you, and it’s eating you up.
Kennedi, you are still young. Why not focus on your own happiness?
There are plenty of good men out there. Why fixate on this one guy?
