On the tray, two glasses of champagne glittered in the light of a crystal chandelier. One of them had been laced with sleeping pills as per Sophia's orders.Jolina's eyes fell on Ben who was chatting with a business associate, while Caroline stayed by his side, gently holding his arm. Jolina approached and flashed a professional smile as she stopped in front of them and handed them the champagne.Ben and Caroline were not the least bit suspicious. Jolina looked like a normal waitress, her professional smile showing no signs of ulterior motives. Caroline stared at the champagne in her hand for a moment before lifting it slowly. Ben did the same.Jolina remained standing near them, ostensibly waiting to make sure her task was successful. Within seconds, if Ben took a sip of the champagne, the sleeping pills would kick
"Mr. Charles, are you sure you want to attend the event tonight?" asked Andrew, who was worried about his employer's health."Take it easy. I'm already fine. Besides, tonight I will be guarded by some of my confidants, including you." Ben looked at Andrew with confidence, even though his body was still recovering.Shortly after, Caroline came down the stairs with a dark blue dress wrapped around her body. It was made of soft satin fabric that followed her curves gracefully, without being overdone. The off-shoulder cut of the dress revealed her delicate shoulders.Her long, soft brown hair was styled in a simple yet elegant half-up style. A few strands of hair were allowed to fall to frame her face, giving a soft and natural impression. The look in her eyes was deeper, radiating anxiety that she couldn't completely hide. Although her makeup was light, just a touch of light blush and a nude color on her lips, her beauty still shone through charmingly.On her wrist, there was a small dia
Johan sat in his room with a glass of bourbon in hand. His mind was filled with strategy, but also a little uneasy. Sophia was cunning, but she wasn't someone who could be trusted. He knew full well that she always played to her interests.However, this plan made sense. If Caroline believed that Ben had betrayed her, she would be devastated. The trauma of her past would drag her back into the darkness and by then, Johan would be there, looking like the only option she could rely on. And Johan would also apologize to Caroline, inviting her to rebuild the household.He sighed and put down his glass. Shortly after, his cell phone vibrated. A message came in from Sophia and he read it slowly.[The gala event is tomorrow night at the Grand Royale. Ben will probably come along with Caroline. We'll see how everything falls apart.]Johan grinned slightly. So this was the event she was referring to. A big charity gala, where top businessmen gather. It was no surprise that Ben would attend, as
Finally, Johan was willing to work together to get Caroline and Ben to split up. Sophia poured the white wine into her glass before taking a small sip. Her gaze flirted with Johan."At least you can still think logically, Johan. The bottom line is simple. Caroline and Ben should split up. And you can get back what is rightfully yours."Johan narrowed his eyes, his expression cold. He knew Sophia was not the type of woman to speak aimlessly. She had something to hide. Sophia chuckled as she twirled her wine glass with her fingertips."What's your plan?""I have access to someone who can make Ben look like an unfaithful man in Caroline's eyes. We just need to devise a scenario that's convincing enough. As if I'm not involved in this plan," Sophia explained to Johan.Johan was quite interested in this plan and they would not do it halfway. Sophia knew that Ben was a man who was quite loyal when he felt comfortable with a woman. Therefore, she had to be clever with this plan."I have some
"I didn't expect a man as great as you to be lying helpless like this," Sophia said with a faint grin.Ben tried to calm Caroline down by slightly pressing his fingers in the grip, then looked at Sophia with a cold gaze. Sophia burned with jealousy when Ben treated Caroline intimately."Ben, we're not done yet!""We're done!" Ben raised his voice in front of Sophia.This made Caroline even more worried about Ben's health. She looked at Sophia and was about to kick her out for interfering with Ben's recovery."I don't know you and have never met you before. I want you out of this room immediately, because Ben needs rest. And your coming here is only disturbing his peace." Caroline ventured to speak in Sophia's presence."A hag like you wants to kick me out?" Sophia laughed loudly and belittled Caroline."You have no right to speak to Miss Caroline like that." Flo, who had been silent, finally spoke up because she knew Sophia."I won't let anyone belittle Caroline in front of me," Ben s
"What do you mean, why did Andrew get hurt?" Ben tried to sit up while holding his aching chest.Caroline grabbed Ben's shoulders frantically, preventing him from moving further. She shook her head and didn't allow Ben to sit up."Ben, don't! The doctor said you need to rest," Caroline said anxiously."Flo, tell me what happened to Andrew." Ben urged Flo to tell the truth.He ignored the pain in his chest. His eyes stared intently at Flo. However, Flo still hadn't answered his question and was still crying. Caroline was silent as if her mind rejected what she had just heard."There was... an explosion," Flo replied sobbing. "Andrew was affected. I don't know how bad he is yet, but-""Where is he now?" Ben cut Flo off, his voice sharper despite his weakened body."He was rushed to another hospital along with Glenn," Flo said in a shaky voice."Glenn was hurt too?" Ben asked.Flo just nodded. Ben wanted to leave the hospital quickly, but Caroline wouldn't let him. Ben clenched his hands
Ben?"Caroline leaned closer to Ben. She grasped her lover's hand tightly. Ben's eyelids slowly began to move, then opened slightly. His vision was blurry, but as soon as he saw Caroline's crying figure beside him, he tried to smile even though his lips were dry and pale. Caroline's tears flowed again, but this time it wasn't out of sadness, but joy."Ben, you finally realized." Caroline's grip on his hand tightened."Mr. Charles, you're finally awake." Flo smiled and felt happiness.Ben blinked but was still weak. He could feel Caroline's tight grip, filled with worry and love. With what strength he had left, he tried to move his fingers, returning Caroline's hand."Are you crying because of me?" asked a weakly spoken Ben with a faint smile."I was afraid of losing you." Caroline sobbed then lowered her head and nodded towards Ben.Ben looked at her gently and saw that there was a bandage wrapped around Caroline's head. Although the pain still ruled his body, he wanted to wipe Caroli
Alexander Morena was talking to one of his subordinates who informed him that Ben had been in an accident. That meant his plan had worked. Not only was Ben hurt, but Caroline was too.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Alexander immediately froze when he saw his daughter walk in. He made a hand signal for his subordinate to leave his room. Sophia's gaze was full of suspicion towards her father."My father, what else are you doing?" Sophia asked.Alexander leaned his back against the chair, his face calm again, as if nothing had happened. He glanced at Sophia who stood up."What do you mean, Sophia? I don't know what you mean." Alexander was evasive when asked by his daughter."I'm not a child anymore. I know that expression. You're hiding something." Sophia's eyes narrowed sharply.Alexander just laughed as his daughter suspected him. Sophia frowned, getting more and more curious about what her father was doing. It made her wonder."You're too suspicious, dear. This is just busi
Andrew stood at the edge of the hospital bed, looking down at Ben who was still lying weakly with his head bandaged. The cut on his forehead was deep, but more worrying was the injury to his chest from the violent impact of the accident. An IV was attached to his arm, while a monitor beeped at a steady rhythm.In the next room, Caroline was still not fully conscious. The wound on her temple had been cleaned and bandaged, but her face still looked pale. The doctor said that Caroline was in severe shock and exhausted after last night's incident. Seeing Ben and Caroline in this state stirred up a rage that was difficult for him to control.He stepped out of Ben's hospital room and closed the door slowly. Outside, a well-built man in a black suit was waiting for him. The man's name was Glenn, just like Andrew who worked for Ben."How is Mr. Charles doing in there?" Glenn asked."Stable, but unconscious. Did you find out who was behind this attack?" Andrew looked at Glenn with an intense g
Her face and body were drenched as she was splashed with water. She blinked her eyes repeatedly and immediately woke up. She saw her mother-in-law standing with her arms crossed, a smug expression on her face."Do you think you're some kind of princess who can just sleep comfortably until now?" Victoria yanked Caroline's hair harshly, causing her to cry out in pain."What did I do wrong?" Caroline asked softly, trying to free herself."You’re asking what you did wrong?" Victoria glared at Caroline, her grip on Caroline's hair tightening.Caroline was feeling unwell, which was why she wanted to rest for a bit. From morning until night, she was constantly ordered to do house chores like a servant. Her husband, Johan, allowed her to be treated this way and tormented in this house.Johan didn’t care about her. His attitude was nothing like it had been early in their marriage. They had been married for three years, and initially, Johan often defended and protected her. However, over time, ...
