"I think Jared really likes you." Bonnie said this as she was having breakfast with Caroline this morning. The middle-aged woman's face looked serious. She had never interfered with her daughter's choices. However, this time she wanted to take part so that Caroline would no longer make the wrong choice of man. She did not want Caroline to get humiliated again like Jake had done.

"He's just playing around; there's no way Uncle Jared likes me. He can appoint any woman if he wants. Why should he choose me, who is a nobody and can't do anything? I think he will only use me because now there are rumors that he is dating Lenzy. She might want to use me as a tool to dispel those rumors, and then I'll get dumped again once the rumors stop circulating." Caroline explained at length. She was more cautious now, as she did not want to fall back into the same hole. Moreover, Jared's blood flowed into Jake's blood.

Bonnie was silent for a moment. Her brow seemed to crease as she thought heavily. "J

    "Uncle, did you hear our conversation?" Caroline asked anxiously. She was a little nervous and quite afraid that Jared would find out that Caroline was taking advantage of whatever Jared was concerned about."I don't know what you were talking about, but seeing as Jake was willing to give you his watch, it means you had a pretty deep conversation. It's dismissal time; you should go home now." Jared replied in a tone that sounded unfriendly. He was angry and disappointed by the two most precious people in his life."Ah yes, it's time to go home. I lost track of time." Caroline tried to act casual."Caroline, I don't think I need to wait a week.

Bonnie asked with concern.Caroline let out a long sigh. She looked deeply at her mother. "I got fired." Her voice sounded weak when she said that."Fired?" Bonnie repeated the word. She looked panicked, as Caroline was now her only source of income."Yes, Uncle Jared got mad at me and decided to fire me.""How so? Who paid all our debts then?""Uncle Jared did. He said I no longer needed the money because all the debts had been paid off. So, I don't need to work in his office anymore.""What did you do to make Jared angry with you?

    Caroline didn't want to stop. She kept walking with confidence. "I said stop!" Jared was getting angry. He rose to his feet, striding after Caroline with a rage that consumed him. He grabbed Caroline's arm roughly, pulling her back until she turned to face him. "Why are you so arrogant? Who do you think you are?" Jared stared with eyes so intense. Whoever looked into those eyes would feel scared, as if they were about to be pounced upon. Caroline wasn't scared at all. After what she had been through, she felt that she had lost all feeling for anything. She returned Jared's gaze even more sharply. "What are you going to do?" Caroline challenged. Jared was silent for a moment. His breathing sounded ragged, and his heart was beating rapidly. It was as if his breathing and heartbeat were racing against each other. Jared's eyes slowly dropped down. He stared at the sharp nose, then stopped at Caroline's sexy lips. He didn't care how many lips had enjoyed those lips; for him, now t
