"Is that so? Her father died. And the robbery story she told was made up? There was no real robbery, because it was her sister that she told about." Jared confirmed the news Thalius had given.

"That's right, sir. Caroline is now making arrangements for the funeral. She doesn't want to wait long and wants to bury her father before nightfall."

Jared hadn't expected his men to move so slowly. He had paid a lot of people to find Aalya, but she had returned to the city and made a big deal out of it. Meanwhile, the people he had paid had not given any news. He doubted the ability of those people. Or maybe Aalya was not a random person who could be traced. Let alone mistreating her elderly father without any guilt at all—that's not something a woman could do if she still had a heart.

"Caroline is in danger if she wants to make a calculation with her sister. I can't allow this." Jared said to himself. He knew that, as weak as Caroline was, it was impossible for her to fight someone like Aalya

    "Thank you for today, Uncle." Croline said it sincerely. She didn't know what else to say other than thank you. Jared had really done a lot of good things for her. She didn't know what she had done to meet such a good man.Jared just gave a small nod, allowing Caroline to get out of the car."You want to come over? I'll cook dinner; stay here. We can have dinner together." Caroline offered.Jared seemed to think for a moment. He had a lot of work pending because he had to attend Caroline's father's funeral.

    "Hi. Are you feeling better today?" Jared asked after Caroline got into his car. There was no time off work after Anthony passed away. After the funeral yesterday, Caroline had to return to work today. It was her choice, even though Jared had given her permission to take a few days off, at least until Caroline felt better."Life must go on. I don't want to dwell too much on the loss of my father." Caroline said it with a smile. Her eye bags looked puffy with panda eyes. It looked like she did not sleep well last night. Of course, who could sleep well after a family member passed away?The car drove at high speed towards the office. When she got out of the car, all eyes were immediately on Caroline.

    "I mean it, Caroline." Jared said seriously. He looked at Caroline with a deep look in his eyes. Caroline, who had been laughing, suddenly fell silent and put on a flat face. "Are you serious?" She asked incredulously. Jared just shut up. He didn't need to repeat the same sentence a second time. The look on his face and the look in his eyes said it all. He never messed with his words. "Don't ask me to do anything silly. You know my relationship with Jake isn't going well. You're his uncle, we can never have any kind of relationship. I'm no longer interested in men." Caroline emphasized. She didn't want to give anyone any hope, so she was blunt. Fuck if Jared was going to fire her, she didn't care. Jared was silent. He was staring at Caroline intently. Caroline felt uncomfortable, she grabbed her bag and was about to get up from her seat. However, Jared immediately held back. "Don't go. Let's just say I never said anything, I didn't mean it. Maybe I overreacted, so you becam

    "Don't equate me with her. I would never sell my pride for money." Caroline said it firmly. She stared intently at Jake, while her hands were clenched in irritation."Obviously you're not Emily's equal." Jake replied with emphasis. He tightened his embrace around Emily's waist to make Caroline even angrier with jealousy. He smiled sarcastically, feeling superior for having managed to hurt Caroline's pride."I brought her here." Jared replied haughtily. There was no relationship like there used to be. Jared used to think of Jake as a dear nephew, but not anymore. Jake was no longer the little boy who needed to be lavished with affection and spoiled with money."Uncle, you have to be careful with her. She could spend your money without you knowing; she's just a worthless piece of trash." Jake emphasized. He wanted to make Caroline lose her self-esteem even more.Jared held his chin high, looking so confident. He put his arm around Caroline's waist, just as Jake had put his arm around Em

    "You go in first; I'll catch up." Jared said after they arrived at the hotel where the party would be held. The man walked off into the middle of nowhere, with Thalius and Donny trailing behind.Caroline looked so awkward stepping alone into the party venue. She rubbed the back of her neck, looking left and right. There were many invited guests in super-luxurious and expensive clothes. She didn't recognize any of them."Show me your invitation card." One of the guards stopped Caroline when she was about to step inside."I have to use an invitation card?" Caroline looked confused, as she had not received an invitation. She wouldn't have come if Jared hadn't asked."Only people with invitation cards can enter." The man said it firmly. Doing his job as ordered."But Mr. Madison invited me here." Caroline tried to explain."We're just following protocol. We couldn't let you in without a letter of invitation."Caroline looked even more confused. She bit her lower lip to reduce her nervousn

    "Let go, Jake! I can get out myself!" Caroline rebelled; she squeezed Jake's hand until the man's grip loosened."Caroline, I know you love me very much. But try to realize yourself; you don't deserve me. You're beautiful, but you'll only be a burden to me." Jake said it confidently."How many times do I have to tell you I hate you? Don't you know the meaning of the word hate?""You don't have to deny it; I know you love me very much.""Whatever you say, What is certain is that I will never want to deal with the Corner family again." Caroline said it firmly. She took off the necklace around her neck and handed it to Jake. "Give this to Uncle Jared. Tell him I'll be submitting my resignation soon."Jake was silent as the necklace passed into his hands. He stared at Caroline as she walked away from the party, feeling upset. Whether he should act happy or not, he didn't know. However, he felt a little satisfied when he saw the annoyed look on Caroline's beautiful face.Just as Jake was a

    Caroline was shocked when she woke up in the morning and no longer found Jared in her apartment. The sofa where Jared had slept last night was now empty. There were only pillows and blankets folded neatly on the sofa. It looked like Jared had left early in the morning, or even that he had left when Caroline entered the room last night.Caroline froze when she saw a necklace lying on the table. Her brow furrowed. She approached and grabbed the necklace with a feeling and mind filled with confusion. She looked at the necklace carefully. She had given it to Jake last night, but why was it suddenly here?"Did Uncle Jared bring it?" Caroline seemed to be talking to herself.The ringing of her cell phone forced Caroline to get up and go back into the room. She reached for her cell phone to see who was calling at this early hour. The boss's name was listed there.That confused Caroline even more. She didn't know what happened after she left the party last night. She also didn't know why Jare

    Caroline grumbled as she moved her belongings to her new workspace. Her position was now downgraded from assistant to CEO to secretary to manager. She didn't mind the demotion, but she was upset that she had to work for Jake. How could she? How could she possibly survive one day working in the same room with someone she hated so much? Especially if she had to spend her entire working life doing it.Caroline cleared her desk, then sat down in a chair to await the arrival of her new boss. She sighed harshly. One minute of waiting for Jake felt like hours. The thing she hated the most was when her heart was beating so fast and her chest was pounding. She hated it when she realized that there was a glimmer of happiness when she was about to meet Jake."I hate this situation. Control your heart and mind, Caroline!" Caroline told herself.There were footsteps at the door of the room. Caroline rose to her feet, greeting Jake with a sour face."Good morning by noon," Caroline said in an unfri

She felt it was a waste of money and useless, so she went to Jared to protest."I took the middle ground. Aren't you allergic to dogs in the house?

The house is so quiet, I don't have anyone to talk to," Caroline complained. "How about we make a little friend so you're not lonely anymore, huh?"
