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
Caroline has a fever after almost drowning with Delia in the lake yesterday. Luckily Jared wasn't home yesterday when she came home soaking wet. So, until today, she had not told her husband anything and considered yesterday's incident an accident. If she had given up hope yesterday, she would have been nothing but a name by now.Jared, who was ready to leave for the office after working from home yesterday, returned to the room to see his wife's sudden fever. The man looked worried and called the doctor to check Caroline's condition.The doctor prescribed medication to reduce the fever after examining Caroline's condition. Because there was important business at the office that could not be left behind, Jared was forced to leave his wife in a sick condition. However, he asked Thalius to stay at home and look after Caroline while he worked.Jared had just arrived at the office when Thalius called and said that Caroline didn't want to eat, even though she had to take medicine to bring
Delia couldn't understand Jared's decision to build a house for Caroline's puppy in front of the red house. She felt it was a waste of money and useless, so she went to Jared to protest."I took the middle ground. Aren't you allergic to dogs in the house? Caroline was sad that Yed had to be left at the daycare every day, so I made a special house for them so they wouldn't have to be separated again."Delia laughed at her brother's silly behavior and said Jared was blind to love. Obviously, Jared didn't care what his sister said because Delia had already openly said that she didn't like Caroline.Delia left her brother's study with an ember in her chest. She was angry that Caroline had made Jared more submissive to his wife than his sister. She began to devise a plan so that Jared would obey her orders like before and no longer follow Caroline's every whim.The process of making a house for Yed took three days. The dog looked comfortable in his spacious new home. Yed's house is also eq
"I'm coming home late, darling. Don't wait for me to get home and go to bed first." The message from Jared made Caroline sad. From the time Donny took his wedding leave to his honeymoon, Jared became busier at the office. Since only Thalius helped him with his work in the office, he often came home late at night. He feels lonely now that Sophia is also someone's wife. Caroline felt bad if she had to interrupt their honeymoon when she needed someone to talk to. Until 11:45 pm, when Jared came home, Caroline still couldn't sleep well. She woke up immediately when she heard the door open. "You're not asleep yet?" asked Jared. "I can't sleep. The house is so quiet, I don't have anyone to talk to," Caroline complained. "How about we make a little friend so you're not lonely anymore, huh?" Caroline smiled embarrassedly, then pinched her husband's belly. "Do you want to take a bath with me?" Jared asked. "No, it's too late." Jared carried his wife's body into the bathroom despite Ca
Sophia and Donny have been very busy preparing for their wedding, which will take place in a few days. Because of Caroline's help, Donny was finally able to get some time off. Jared even allowed Donny to take time off until everything was done. They were so excited that they printed the invitations with Sophia's own design. Although Caroline had already set up a wedding organizer for them, both of them only felt a sense of satisfaction when they took part in the party preparations. Donny and Sophia had also visited a priest and rented a building for the party. They had so much to prepare. Luckily, Caroline came and offered to help. Today, Donny and Sophia will have their wedding dress fitting. Caroline stepped in and accompanied them to a famous boutique. Caroline chose a wedding dress with a slightly open chest. Sophia looked very beautiful in it. "Isn't this too revealing?" asked Sophia. "No, Shopee. You actually look sexy. You have a nice body shape, so it's perfect to wear a d
"Caroline, can I ask you for a favor?" Donny approached Caroline, who was watering her orchid plants."Sure. What can I do?""I want to propose to Sophia. You know our relationship is very serious, right? So I want to ask her to marry me so that nothing can separate us anymore."Hearing Donny's plan, Caroline immediately put down the small bucket of water, then turned to the man who was already considered her biological brother."Are you serious? Then, what can I do for you guys?""What do you say we prepare a surprise? You can help me prepare a surprise for her, right? Where would be a good place?"Caroline looked thoughtful, then snapped her fingers as she came up with a brilliant idea."How about by the lake? We can put tables and chairs there and plan a romantic dinner. So, you can propose to Shopee there.""Good idea. Can I count on you?" asked Donny."Of course you can. I'll arrange it for you!" Caroline was really excited."I'm sorry to trouble you, but Mr. Jared has been very
The news about Corner Family finally died down over time. People seem to have gotten bored and are no longer spreading malicious comments about Delia. Caroline had also forgiven her sister-in-law, even though Delia never apologized directly in front of her.Delia remained confident as she entered the red house area, as if she had never done anything wrong to Caroline. Jared also doesn't really care about his sister; the important thing is that he has cleared his wife's good name.Delia is only afraid when in front of Jared; the rest of the time she still shows a dislike face in front of Caroline. Even so, Caroline continued to be kind to her sister-in-law despite never getting a good response from Delia.If you basically don't like it, no matter what you still don't like it. Although Caroline already considers Delia like her biological sister, Delia still hates Caroline.Since the press conference was held, Donny immediately returned to work as Jared's trusted subordinate with Thalius
Caroline held her husband's hand and asked Jared to calm down and not get angry. Caroline tried to talk to her sister-in-law."I'm not going to ask you to apologize, but I want you to admit it. That's all. I will forgive, even if you don't apologize.""Shut up! I don't want to hear you talk, so don't open your mouth!" said Delia, pointing at Caroline's face.Caroline felt that this meeting would be futile. Delia would still be in denial and feel that she was innocent if Jared did not immediately show the evidence he had collected.Jared and Delia are both stubborn. They have equally high egos, so no one wants to give in.Caroline showed the first piece of evidence. The fake photos and articles that had been circulating for fifteen minutes on social media made Delia's face red. It was a good thing Sophia still had some photos and copies of the articles that had been circulating. Otherwise, they would have lost track because Donny had asked the IT expert to delete all the news that had
"What are you going to do about Mom?" asked Jake as they were on their way home.Not wanting the people they had found to run away, Jared immediately sent his men to pick them all up for safekeeping. The three journalists and the two men who drugged Caroline into unconsciousness were finally detained for the time being. Jared was worried that Delia would help them escape in order to eliminate traces.Jake also helped copy all the CCTV footage so that if anything untoward happened, they could still use the duplicates as evidence."I'm sorry for putting you in this position, Jake. However, I will still hold him responsible for his actions.""Uncle, I apologize for what you did. I know it's wrong, but can I ask a favor? Mom is sick right now. Can you talk to her tomorrow?"Jared held his head, which felt heavy after learning the truth. Delia had really made a big problem. Not only did she destroy Donny and Caroline, but she also subconsciously destroyed Jared's good name. Because of the
"Do you know if Donny and Caroline's photos have been shared on social media before?"Jared showed a confused face because he really didn't know when and where their photos were spread. He trusted Donny so much; he really didn't expect him to stab him in the back like this."What picture?" asked Jared."When Uncle went out of town, photos of Donny hugging Caroline were all over social media platforms. I don't know if they were actually making out while Uncle was away, but I overheard Mom's conversation with someone. She took the photo and asked someone to write an article about them. By the next morning, the photo had really spread, and many articles were written about Caroline's betrayal.""You still have the photo?"Jake shook his head. "Within fifteen minutes, all traces of the photos and articles were deleted. It seems Donny intervened immediately and deleted the news before it spread further. I hate to say it, but I think this case was mom's doing too."Jared felt that Jake had a
