"Madam, Madam Delia would like to see you." One of the maids informed her while Caroline was relaxing with a book in her room.Caroline frowned when she heard Delia's name mentioned. She didn't know why Jake's mother suddenly came to see her. They didn't have an appointment, nor was their relationship that good."She must have wanted to threaten me to cancel my intention to marry Uncle Jared." Caroline muttered. She seemed to be thinking hard now. She must not show her weakness lest she be oppressed by those who are stronger. It was enough that she had been submissive and weak."I'll see her right away; ask her to wait." Caroline gave the order."Yes, ma'am."Caroline stepped into the closet, where there were many new clothes that Jared had bought for her. She chose the most beautiful dress among them. She put on the dress and then put makeup on her face. She looked very different now. The bold make-up that adorns her face gives the impression that she has a firm and hard character. U
"Isn't this too soon?" Caroline asked reluctantly. She was reluctant to refuse but also felt that this was not the right time. Her mother had just been buried two weeks ago; now Jared was asking her for a wedding dress fitting. She was just worried about how people would judge them. What would people say? Their hearts were already dead, having rejoiced after the death of Caroline's parents. At least wait for a few months so it wouldn't become a topic of conversation."Are you going to change your decision to marry me? Are you not sure that I can make you happy, or do you doubt your own decision? Or maybe what Jake said was true—that you just wanted revenge, and now you feel that your game has gone too far and should be stopped?" Jared stared deeply. He was trying to extract the truth from Caroline's eyes.Caroline shook her head. "Why do you always associate our problems with Jake? I think it's you who can't move on from my past. I never talked about him, but you always mention his na
"What is this?" Lenzy couldn't believe the news she had just read. The news about Jared announcing his engagement to Caroline. Jared held a press conference and introduced to the world that Caroline was the only woman he had ever loved and that she would always be in his heart."Isn't Caroline his niece? How can he marry his own niece? It's against the law; it's inbreeding." Lenzy was visibly unhappy. After all, she had been humiliated before after news of their date broke. And Jared made a clarification that put her in a bad light, so people flocked to attack her name on the internet."Is it possible that Caroline lied to me so that I would stop bothering her? No wonder Mr. Madison is always defending her. They're lovers, not uncle and niece. How dare Caroline play me! Who does she think I am?" Lenzy looked very upset when she realized that she had been tricked. She did not think that she would be treated like that.Lenzy squeezed her phone roughly. Her eyes glared fiercely, and her
"Come on, honey, I'm ready." Emily said excitedly. After Jake had repeatedly canceled their date, they were finally going out tonight. It had been a long time since they had a romantic dinner out, as Jake was too busy taking care of Caroline and Jared's problems. Emily hugged Jake's arm tightly, looking at him with excitement because she couldn't wait to leave. "Sorry, Emily..." Jake looked hard to tell if their romantic date tonight was canceled again. Seeing the expression on Jake's face, as well as the sorry words he said, Emily knew that again she had to swallow disappointment. She didn't know what Jake's priorities were now. Because the man always breaks his promises. Emily immediately released her hug on Jake's arm; she put on a sullen face and hurried back to the room. There was a very rough slamming of the bedroom door. A sign that Emily was really angry. Jake sighed harshly; he understood and understood the attitude that Emily showed. Because he realized that lately h
"Oh, so her background is like this? It turns out that her life is bleaker than I imagined." Lenzy commented after she got the report from the man she paid. She received every detail, from the small to the big. So, she had now bagged Caroline's weaknesses. She knew all the ins and outs of the woman. If she wanted revenge, she already knew how. "Lure her out by telling her that you know where her sister is. Then, bring her to me." Lenzy gave the order. She couldn't wait to cuss and beat Caroline. This was because Caroline had destroyed her pride in front of Jared. If Caroline hadn't said that Jared liked her, she wouldn't have been so confident and ended up feeling this embarrassed. "Yes, ma'am." "Don't let anyone know." Lenzy emphasized that she did not want to deal with Jared. Jared would not stay silent if he knew that Caroline was in danger. *** The ringing of her cell phone made Caroline look up from the television screen she was watching. Since living with Jared, she ha
Caroline woke up from her stupor after she was doused with a glass of water. Her eyes were squinting from the glare of the light. She was still semi-conscious and trying to digest what was happening. "You're finally awake. I've been waiting for you here for three hours." Lenzy commented harshly. Her tone sounded very unfriendly. Caroline turned to the source of the voice. Her brow furrowed when it was Lenzy, not Aalya. "Why are you here?" Caroline asked in confusion. Lenzy smiled sarcastically. She folded her arms across her chest, then walked around Caroline. Her gaze was so condescending because she already knew what kind of family Caroline came from. All this time she thought Caroline came from the rich and prominent Corner family. In fact, Caroline was far beneath her. "You dare to deceive me; that means you're looking for trouble with me." Lenzy struck Caroline hard on the forehead. Caroline wanted to retaliate, but she realized that her body was tied to the chair she
Jared came home a little late. He only arrived home when it was nine o'clock in the evening. He had been unsettled throughout the day's work, and even more so from the afternoon until the evening. He felt very restless, his mind always on Caroline. He felt anxious all the time. Plus, Caroline wasn't taking his calls after he dialed repeatedly. The first thing Jared did when he got home was look for the woman he loved so much. As tired as he was when he got home, all that tiredness would soon disappear when he saw Caroline. The energy that had been depleted was replenished when he got a smile from Caroline. "Where's Caroline?" Jared asked after he took off his suit and tie that had been straining his neck all day. "Sir, Mrs. Caroline isn't home yet." One of the waiters informed. "Where did she go?" Jared was a little disappointed that Caroline didn't welcome him home from work this time. "She told you to look for her if she wasn't home by seven, sir." "It's already nine o'c
"Good, I found you." Jared said in a vengeful tone. He copied the number on Caroline's phone, then dialed it using his own. Unfortunately, the number was not active. Just like the last time Caroline tried to call the number. "Damn! Looks like this was planned!" Jared looked so annoyed. He growled, sighing harshly repeatedly to reduce his irritation. "You find out who this number belongs to." Jared ordered Thalius. "Yes, sir." Thalius immediately rushed to carry out the orders he was given. Along the way, Jared couldn't calm down at all. His mind was wandering all over the place. Who wouldn't be worried when they knew that a loved one was in danger? It was certain that Caroline wasn't doing well right now. Thinking about it, Jared was getting more and more upset. He clenched his fists violently and vowed to make a reckoning with whoever had been involved. After waiting for some time, Thalius got some information. "It looks like this is a new number that was deliberately use
