After Jared and Thalius left the apartment, Donny returned to it. He went in there, then looked for the light switch to illuminate the place. As he suspected, Caroline's apartment's electricity had not been disconnected, which meant that someone had deliberately turned it off. His suspicion grew that Caroline was indeed there."Carol, I know you're here. Mr. Jared and Thalius have left; you can come out if you trust me!" Donny kept trying to persuade. He was not discouraged at all.Knowing Donny's persistence and sincerity, Caroline was deeply moved. She cried again because she couldn't believe there was someone who cared about her so much. They had only known each other for a few months, but Donny's love for her was that genuine. She didn't even have money or power, so Donny wouldn't benefit even if he helped her.Hearing Caroline's sobs, Donny went to the source of the sound. He entered the room that had been the scene of the murder. The room was still very messy, with Bonnie's d
"Sir!" Donny ran up to Jared and Thalius after they promised to meet somewhere.Jared's face was still filled with worry and panic. He couldn't calm down until he got information on Caroline's current whereabouts. He would calm down if he knew Caroline was in a safe place. Because no one knew who could threaten Caroline's life."Did you get the information from the taxi driver?" Jared asked straight to the point; he didn't want to mince words."Caroline is safe at my house now." Donny broke the promise he had made to Caroline. His face looked calmer; there was no more worry on his face like before. So, Jared believed those words without asking a second time to make sure. Donny was his confidant; there was no way Donny would dare lie to him."Thankfully, I can rest easy now. Let's go!" Jared said excitedly. He couldn't wait to meet Caroline and apologize. He hoped Caroline would forgive him and want to go back to living together in his mansion. He wanted them to reconcile and conti
"Caroline doesn't have any friends, but I see she's comfortable with you. I'm happy if she wants to open up to making friends with others. Please take care of her for me." Jared said sincerely to Shopia. He doesn't need to worry about where Caroline lives now because there is Donny and Shopia who will take care of her. All he had to think about was how to get Caroline to forgive him.The mistake he had made was very fatal. He insulted Caroline, who had been harassed by many people, while the reason Caroline got such unpleasant treatment was him. If Lenzy hadn't been jealous of Caroline and Jared's relationship, Caroline would never have had that nightmare.Jared reached into his pocket and pulled out a card."Please take her to have fun. Use this card as much as you want. I want Caroline to be as cheerful as ever." Jared handed the card to Shopia.Shopia seemed hesitant to accept. She turned to look at Donny, waiting for his reaction before she took action. Because she was afraid
Shopia takes Caroline to a famous boutique in town. What woman doesn't love being taken shopping? Of course all women do, including Caroline. There were many dresses from famous designers there. Donny had taken Shopia there several times when he had just gotten a bonus from Jared. So, she was already very familiar with everything in the store."Do you like that one?" Shopia pointed to a white sleeveless dress. The neckline was decorated with diamond sequins."I like it; it's pretty and elegant. It will suit you." Caroline commented."Not for me, but for you.""For me?" Caroline was quite surprised by that sentence. She glared, pointing at herself. It was obviously an expensive dress, like the one Jared had bought for her. It must have cost over a hundred thousand dollars. She would never have that kind of money."Yes, for you." Shopia emphasized. She called one of the staff to get the dress that was being displayed in the glass cabinet in front of them. She couldn't wait to see C
"Did you hear that Mr. Madison and Caroline had a problem? They had a fight and are now separated." "I heard that too. No wonder Mr. Madison always ignores her when she works here." "Yes, I feel that way too. Caroline pushed herself too hard to win Mr. Madison's heart; it seems like she's given up now because Mr. Madison is hard to conquer." "Maybe the news about their engagement happened because of Caroline's coercion. It could be that Caroline threatened Mr. Madison about the company's confidential information, which is why he was forced to accept Caroline." "But Mr. Madison is not a weak person who can be scared only by threats. Moreover, he has power; taking the life of one woman is not a difficult thing for him." “Then, what's the reason? You know Caroline has been absent from work for the past few days, after she received a bad attitude from Mr. Madison." "Do you know where Caroline is now?" "I haven't heard from her at all, nor is there any news about her on the i
Jared stared at the photos and videos of Caroline that he had gotten from Shopia. A week had passed, but he didn't have the courage to appear in front of Caroline. This was because he was afraid that Caroline would go further away and remain untouched.Even though he had allowed Shopia and Caroline to use his card freely and as they pleased, there was little money left. Jared didn't understand why Caroline and Shopia weren't that crazy about money. Shopia could have taken advantage of this situation by spending as much of Jared's money as she could. In fact, she didn't even use the money for personal use.Jared sighed repeatedly. He began to think about posting Caroline's photos and videos on his social media accounts to tell the world that his relationship with Caroline was fine. However, he was afraid that his actions would make Caroline feel uncomfortable and even more angry with him."Sir, I have something to talk about." Donny approached; he had a worried look on his face.Ja
"Mmm, that's..." Shopia could not come up with an explanation. She bit her lower lip as a sign that she was thinking of an excuse. She was not ready to get such a question from Caroline because she had not prepared an acceptable answer."You betrayed me." Caroline said in a disappointed tone. She was about to get up and leave, but Shopia immediately held her back."Carol, I'm sorry. Please don't be angry with me or Donny. I did this because of Mr. Madison's request. All the money I used when shopping with you was not Donny's money, but Mr. Madison's money. He often comes here secretly just to see you. He really loves you." Shopia tried to be convincing."You don't know anything, Shopee. That Uncle Jared is the most hypocritical person I've ever known." Caroline still made an annoyed face."I really don't know anything, and I'm sorry for making you feel disappointed. We're still good friends, right?" Shopia put on a pitiable face. She did not want the situation to get worse if Caro
“You don’t have to do anything. Because I will never forgive you for anything.” Caroline said with firmness. There was no hesitation at all in her words. The look in her eyes made it clear just how much hatred she had for Jared. “God is all-forgiving. Why can’t you, as his servant, forgive the mistakes of another servant?” Jared still didn’t want to give up. “That’s why I no longer believe in God. Because God was never there when I needed him. Where was God when my parents died? Where was God when I was abused? Where was God when all the hardships came my way? If God does exist, why doesn’t He ever help me? If God does exist, why doesn’t He give me even a little bit of happiness?” Caroline poured out her heart that she had been holding back all this time. Jared was silent as he heard the words that came out of Caroline’s mouth. He understood why Caroline said that, because he knew how hard Caroline’s path had been. “If God exists, he should come when I need help.” Caroline’s t
