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
"Sir, the address has been found!" Thalius announced excitedly. "We're going there now!" Jared said with emphasis. He didn't want to feel regret like Donny said. Donny had previously warned him to protect Caroline and Bonnie, but he refused to do so on the grounds that Caroline didn't need him. In the end, he regretted that Bonnie finally died at the hands of Max's men. He was grateful that Caroline was lucky to survive that night. She didn't know how much she would regret if Caroline had been shot. Donny was right; he no longer wanted to feel the regret of his negligence in taking care of his loved ones. Jared was nervous all the way. He felt very anxious. The only thing he wanted now was for Caroline to be okay. "Find out who posted the video and the people involved. I don't want to see their faces. Once you find out their identities, take them out immediately." Jared said angrily. "Yes, sir. I will investigate everything." Thalius replied swiftly. The car drove at high
Jared looked at Caroline, who was lying weakly on the hospital bed. He looked at her intently. The face was bruised and swollen. He couldn't imagine what kind of abuse Caroline had received. There were many wires connected to Caroline's body. Her body temperature had improved somewhat due to the help from the doctor, coupled with the warmth of the blanket covering her entire body. Caroline had experienced hypothermia because she was outside in such cold temperatures while she was not wearing any clothes. Luckily, Jared immediately took her to the hospital. Doctors also identified a large dose of drugs in Caroline's blood. Caroline was in a coma not only because of the violence but also because of an overdose. Knowing that fact, Jared was even more furious. No wonder Caroline didn't put up a fight when the bastards touched her, because Caroline had been unconscious from the start. "How long will it take for the owner of the sperm to be identified?" Jared asked the doctor who was
"Carol!" Jake called out with a happy expression after Caroline opened her eyes. He unconsciously tightened his grip on Caroline's hand. The doctor and nurse came to check. They seemed so busy with each other. While Jake just quietly watched. He cheered inwardly because Caroline finally woke up. He himself didn't know why he should be happy when Caroline woke up from her coma. However, he concluded that his joy was directed at his uncle. Jared, who was eating, immediately stopped his activities after Donny told him that Caroline was showing signs of consciousness. He quickly ran to the room where Caroline was being treated. He was so happy that he smiled broadly with great abandon. "Wait for me, honey!" Jared cheered happily. However, the smile that had been on his lips suddenly vanished when he arrived at the room and found Jake holding Caroline's hand. He began to think that Caroline woke up because of Caroline's great love for Jake. While he had done everything he could to ge
Jared gently rubbed Caroline's head. He looked down at the sleeping face. He was actually very tired and wanted to rest now. However, he couldn't stay still after knowing that Lenzy was the mastermind behind all this. He wanted to go to that woman immediately to seek revenge. "Uncle, you can go home if you want to rest. I'll be here in your place to look after Caroline. You look very tired." Jake said with concern. Jared shook his head. "Sir, Jake has a point. Tomorrow you have to work; you need energy for that. You haven't rested in two nights." Thalius confirmed Jake's words. "I know what I need," Jared said firmly. Jake's cell phone rang, Emily's name on the screen. It was almost midnight, and he hadn't come home. Reading Emily's name on the screen, Jake immediately ignored it. He didn't want to take the call to avoid an argument. Lately, his relationship with Emily was quite complicated because it was always decorated with quarrel after quarrel. The tough Emily immediate
"What are you guys? You were paid to look after Caroline while she was hospitalized. Instead of guarding her, you're sleeping outside!" Jake scolded Donny and the other two bodyguards. He was furious that Caroline had almost lost her life again. He was also worried that if Jared found out and made a calculation on his mother, he didn't want that to happen. Fortunately, the doctor worked swiftly and responsively, so Caroline regained consciousness after fifteen minutes of unconsciousness. "Sorry, young master. We won't do it again." The men replied guiltily. They were also afraid that they would be fired after this incident for being completely useless. "If you can't work, just say so. I will ask my uncle to find a more competent bodyguard. Because of you, Caroline almost lost her life. What if I don't show up on time? Uncle Jared might kill you for not being able to do your job." Jake still couldn't control his emotions. "That's it, Jake. I asked them to sleep. They must have
