'I felt bad for Caroline. I've said bad things about her, but it turns out she was just a victim of slander.' 'Caroline is really bighearted; she's been publicly humiliated, insulted, and blasphemed all over the country, but she's not angry at all.' 'Caroline didn't want to defend herself, even though she was aware that she had been wronged. If it wasn't Mr. Madison who clarified to defend her, she would have continued to be humiliated.' 'Forgive us for insulting you, Caroline. We were also victims of that fake video. We shouldn't have jumped to conclusions and spoken ill of you on the internet.' 'I want to know who is behind all this. 'The culprit should be prosecuted as a form of punishment to deter them from repeating the same thing.' 'Caroline is too compatible with Mr. Madison; so many people are jealous of them.' 'The person who spread the fake video must be a woman who is hurt that Mr. Madison prefers Caroline.' 'Could it be Lenzy? She had been humiliated
After traveling for an hour, they finally arrived at their destination. When viewed from the outside, the house looked very well maintained, as if it were inhabited. Moreover, the area is in an elite housing complex. The building looked quite luxurious and spacious. Caroline got out of the car hesitantly. Followed by Donny who followed behind. "Are you sure this is the place?" Caroline asked to make sure. Because she felt that the building was someone else's house. "Sure. Mr. Jared often brings me here." Donny tried to convince. Donny stepped inside first, leading the way to make Caroline even more sure that they didn't have the wrong address. Inside the house, there was nothing unusual. Everything looked normal. There was the usual household furniture. Beautiful sofas, luxurious televisions, interesting paintings—there was nothing suspicious in the house. Moreover, they entered using a special code at the entrance. "Sir." One of the men approached Donny respectfully. "We ha
"You're home?" Jared was greeted with a smile when Caroline returned from Aalya's place. Caroline gave him a quick glance, then walked right past Jared without responding at all. Her face looked very annoyed. "Carol!" Jared called out as he trotted after Caroline. Caroline still didn't want to respond. She ran to her room and closed the door with a little slam. Jared was very surprised by her action. "What happened?" Jared wondered to himself. He was confused by Caroline's attitude. Moreover, he had no previous experience. He didn't know any tricks in dealing with women. All he knew was to work and keep working. Jared was about to knock on the door, but Thalius' call stopped him. "Sir, we have to leave now." Jared sighed at that sentence. His time to relax was over. He had to go out of town on a business trip."Okay." Jared replied with resignation. "Don't you want to say goodbye first?" Thalius offered as he stared at the door to Caroline's room. Jared shook his he
"Jake, what are you doing here?" Caroline gave Jake a confused look. "If you're looking for Uncle, he's out of town right now.""I know that.""Then, why are you here?""I came here on purpose because I know you must be lonely. I just wanted to comfort you." Jake walked over and sat on the sofa opposite Caroline.Caroline sighed deeply. She felt bad every time she saw her ex-boyfriend. Because she always remembered the pain she received from being dumped by the man she loved. She was tired of seeing Jake's theatrics, who always pretended to be good just to attract Jared's sympathy. Caroline believed and was very sure that Jake was pretending to be good just to get the company he was after."Carol." Jake called softly."I'm busy; you can see for yourself. So, don't bother me." Caroline said in an unfriendly tone. She refocused on the knitted wool in her hands. She had been bored since Jared left, so she was looking for something to do to pass the time."Uncle Jared isn't here, s
"Ouch, it stings." Caroline moaned in pain as Donny helped treat her wound with alcohol and red medicine. Caroline's knee was scraped and bleeding slightly. While her ankle was sprained."Next time, be careful when you walk." Jake scolded."You shut up; I didn't ask for your comment." Caroline said with annoyance."I'm just worried, Caroline." Jake said with emphasis. He was annoyed because Caroline could not see his sincere intentions at all. He was worried if Caroline suffered the slightest injury."This is all because of you. If you hadn't come here and thrown a tantrum, Uncle Jared wouldn't be mad at me." Caroline threw all the blame on Jake. While she herself was aware that Jared was still upset and angry with her for her silence after he found out about Aalya's existence."I heard from the servants that your relationship with Uncle Jared is not good. You fight a lot for no apparent reason. That's a sign that you don't get along. Here's a clue, Carol.""What clue?" Caroline
"Caroline's not up yet?" Jared asked one of the maid as he ate breakfast alone this morning. He actually felt like there was something missing if Caroline wasn't by his side, but he was already disappointed."Not yet, sir. I've knocked repeatedly on the door, but there's been no response at all.""Oh, that's fine. Just let her rest; don't disturb her.""Yes, sir."Jared began to enjoy his breakfast half-heartedly. He stared repeatedly at the door connecting the living room and dining room, hoping Caroline would show up and join him for breakfast. However, Caroline didn't show up until he finished breakfast.Jared sighed repeatedly. He felt so wrong here. If he forced his will, Caroline would be tormented by an unwanted relationship. However, if he let Caroline choose her own path in life, he felt anxious that half of his heart would disappear."Sir," Donny approached."Caroline left you a message to deliver to me." Jared guessed with excitement."No." Donny immediately denied.
"Good evening, Uncle. You must be tired. I've asked the servant to prepare dinner a little late so that the food is still warm when you get home. Let's have dinner together; I've been waiting for you." Caroline was all smiles when Jared came home from work this evening.Caroline had gotten information from Donny at what time Jared would be home, so she asked the maid to prepare dinner at the time when Jared arrived.Jared was surprised when Caroline greeted him at the door, and he was pleased that she still cared about him. However, he tried hard to act ignorant and unconcerned. He put on a flat, tired face."I've already eaten dinner outside, so you eat alone. I want to rest; don't bother me." Jared replied in an unfriendly tone. He left for his room."Would you like some hot tea or a massage to ease your fatigue?" Caroline followed. She walked with difficulty because the wound on her leg was getting worse.Jared noticed that. He stared at Caroline's leg with the corner of his e
Caroline and Donny went home late at night. After returning from the hospital, Caroline's leg was indeed much better. Just as Jared suspected, the woman Donny asked to treat Caroline's foot was not a medical expert. She had used the wrong massage technique, resulting in Caroline's ankle bone being displaced and mispositioned.Caroline must have been in a lot of pain when she forced herself to walk with her foot in that condition. No wonder the swelling on her leg got bigger and bruises appeared.Caroline went straight to her room after she said goodbye to Donny. The way she walked was starting to look normal, although there was still a little pain when she stepped on her foot."How is she?" Jared went straight to Donny after Caroline disappeared in the distance."Her ankle has shifted; it looks like you were right, sir. The woman I paid to treat Caroline has made it worse." Donny gave an answer."She was given medicine?"Donny shook his head. "The position of the bones and tendons has
