Jeremy sat on a chair not far from where he stood. One hand massaged his forehead, while his gaze was fixed on the surface of the lake. He preferred to stay out of the way rather than be drawn into Jonathan and James' pointless chatter.Jeremy was lost in reverie. If the allegations about Caraline being the perpetrator of Deric's collision were true, then the puzzle that was occupying his mind would at least find some light. He and his brothers didn't care about Deric's accident so they didn't pay much attention to the hit-and-run perpetrator. No matter how Deric looked now, it wouldn't change their assessment of him.However, after Caraline asked about the accident, Jeremy became curious about the truth behind the tragedy.Was Caraline deliberately looking for Deric all this time to take responsibility for her mistakes? But why would she marry a disabled Deric if she wanted to pay for her mistakes? I think it's too much, especially since the media might reveal it to the public one da

"What on earth are you doing, James?" asked Jeremy when he saw his youngest brother join him on the front lawn."You're testing my patience today," chimed in Jonathan with an annoyed look, "are you finding it hard to leave this mansion?"James ignored his brothers' remarks. He chose to get into the vehicle first, then rested his back against the back of the seat. He ran his fingers through his hair a few times, averting his eyes as Jeremy and Jonathan watched his actions with flat faces.The car began to pull away from the gate of the house. Caraline's residence slowly began to shrink. James looked at the side of the road, tapping a finger on the window. Jeremy observed James' behavior from the windshield, while Jonathan just shook his head slowly."Looks like that woman doesn't have a rare car made by Otopixel," James said with a limp face.Jeremy and Jonathan turned their heads. The car drove slower."You're still talking about that." Jonathan clucked, giving James an annoyed look.

Caraline gathered all the maids and bodyguards in the main room. She stood with her arms folded across her chest and her usual flat face. "I don't want my meeting with the three men to get out, especially not to Deric. Do you understand?"The guards and maids nodded."Back to your work." Caraline turned toward the stairs. As she climbed the first step, she looked back to find the guards and maids beginning to disperse. Just as the crowd had disappeared, she saw Helen enter the residence.Helen walked over with her gaze scanning the surroundings.Caraline dragged one foot back downstairs, turning to face Helen directly. "How is Deric's examination going?" "Doctor Tommy said that the examination went well. He will sent the result to you.""Good." Caraline looked Helen up and down, rolling her eyes. For some reason, she became annoyed as she recalled the events of this morning. "Then where is Deric now?""Mr. Deric chose to rest. I saw him leaving in a hurry in the direction of his res

The maids rushed to the veranda."Don't come any closer!" snapped Caraline with her palms pointed back."Turn around!" ordered Caraline without looking at the maids. She tried to get up even though her butt was still sore.The maids complied but looked confused."Line up neatly!" Caraline ordered then.Grace, who was among the group of maids, quickly organized the line."Now, close this door and get away from me!"Grace immediately ordered the maids to leave with a sweep of her hand, while she closed the door first, then followed after her subordinates who had begun to move away.Caraline grunted in annoyance, stomping the floor a few times. The woman returned to walking with her arms folded across her chest. She turned to the edge of the lake where Deric was. She smiled again until her cheeks turned red.Caraline glanced at Deric, then pretended to look the other way. This went on a few times until she finally got annoyed that he hadn't looked away at all."Damn it," Caraline muttere

Caraline got off the wheelchair step in a hurry, positioning herself half with her back to her two annoying cousins. Her face was contorted in annoyance as her fun was ruined by the sight of their ugly faces."I never invited you to this place at all," Caraline said."Didn't I tell you the news about me and Wilson coming?" replied Catherine with a faint smile, glancing at Deric."You should welcome us, Caraline," Wilson replied with both hands in his pants pockets. The man looked at Deric with a dismissive gaze.Catherine surveyed the surroundings. "This house is too nice for someone like you."Caraline smiled slightly when her gaze accidentally met Catherine's. "I know you're just jealous, Catherine. If you wanted a house like this, you could have just whined to your father like you've been doing."Catherine laughed. "Yes, you're right. My father would be happy to grant all my wishes. Then what about your father? Can he do it?""My father never taught me to be a baby who can only whi

Caraline snorted in annoyance when she saw Catherine and Wilson shamelessly entering the house without her permission. It was annoying, especially since they were interrupting her time with Deric."Not bad," Catherine said as she scanned the surroundings. She glanced at Caraline who was now on the steps of the stairs. As expected, her arrogant cousin stopped walking, then turned towards her."I expected you to be surprised to see this house, Catherine," Caraline said with her arms folded in front of her chest. She descended the stairs with graceful movements. "For someone who grew up in a luxurious environment, you have a poor response. You act like a country bumpkin who has just stepped into the city.""Unfortunately, I don't want to hear your life story right now, Caraline," Catherine replied with a roll of her eyes. She had to admit that this house looked elegant and pleasing to the eye. Although she had to admit, the Wattson family residence was superior from every angle. However,

Caraline scanned her appearance in the mirror. Her slender body was clad in a dark blue knee-length dress with matching shoes. Her face was polished with simple makeup, but it exuded more beauty than usual.Caraline took a deep breath, swaying left and right. Even though she looked so perfect, there was still something she felt was missing. Caraline moved to the collection room, then back to the mirror."I'm going to surprise Deric by wearing the earrings he gave me," Caraline said with a faint smile. The woman made an exasperated face as she put the earrings on her ears. What a coincidence that the jewelry was the same color as her current outfit. "Deric should thank me for wearing his cheap gift."Caraline took a few steps back, smiling when she saw her appearance. "I... look perfect."Caraline picked up the small bag on the dressing table, then glanced at her watch. It was already five minutes past seven in the evening. After checking her appearance one last time, she hurried out o

Wilson chuckled in annoyance when he realized Deric had caught the glass perfectly. His teeth chattered until his hands were clenched tightly on his thighs. He certainly did not accept Caraline's treatment. "Teach the woman next to you some manners if you don't want to see her in trouble.""That goes for you too, Wilson." Caraline sat down with a half-drop, making an exasperated face."To be honest, I'm impressed with your quickness, Deric," Catherine said with a faint smile. She tucked her hair behind her ear with her gaze fixed on Deric."I'm pretty confident with my hands," Deric said.Wilson chuckled, laughing dismissively. "You are a pathetic man.""But not as pathetic as a man who dares to hurt a woman with his weak hands."Wilson gave him a sharp look. "You are a loudmouth. Just because you managed to catch that glass doesn't mean you'll look great in front of me. To me, you're still a pathetic piece of shit.""How about we play around a bit outside?" offered Deric, "I see you
