Evan was just about to look when he saw a waitress open the door to a private room carrying a serving tray. Caroline and Casey were sitting inside!Evan approached with a stern expression, and Reuben quickly cautioned, "Don't get yourself hurt because of these people, Mr. Jordan!"He opened the door that the waitress had just closed.As he entered the private room, Caroline and Casey turned their attention to him.Caroline looked slightly surprised and asked, "How did you find us so quickly?"Casey briefly assumed a scheming expression when Evan showed up and commented, "He showed up just as expected."Casey couldn't help but feel excited to see Evan's angry expression."You're here, Evan—" Before Casey could finish his sentence, Evan grabbed him by the collar and lifted him."You're going to get yourself killed, Casey!" Evan's eyes were filled with rage.Noticing Evan was about to fight, Caroline hastily called out, "Stop it, Evan!"Evan's fist hung in the air due to her rem
Outside Luxe Dining.Evan forcibly pushed Caroline into the car, leaving her bewildered. Just as she was trying to sit up, she felt Evan's menacing presence.He grasped Caroline's arm, forcing her to sit upright, and yelled irrationally, "Why are you doing this?"Caroline winced in pain, her anger rising. "What's wrong with you, Evan? I explicitly told you to stop bothering me, didn't I?""I'm asking you, why are you doing this?" Evan tightly gripped Caroline's collar, pulling her closer. "Tell me why?!""There's no reason! I don't have to explain myself to you!" Caroline glared at him coldly."You won't explain, huh?" Evan growled through clenched teeth."No! I won't explain anything to you! I won't explain why I befriended him or why I'm on a date with him!" Caroline shouted. "I won't explain anything to you, no matter what happens between him and me in the future!""Reuben, get out of here!" Evan was seething with anger.Reuben hastily fled from the car in a panic.Carolin
Daniella got out of the bathroom ten minutes later. She approached Casey and kissed his lips. "I'll go back now, Casey."Casey's expression was gentle. "Be careful. The driver is waiting downstairs."Daniella nodded. The driver informed him a few minutes later that Daniella had already gotten into the car. Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door. Casey got up and opened the door. A sexily dressed woman, Kitty, with vibrant red lips, stood outside and asked shyly, "Sir, did you request room service?", "Did you order room service, sir?"Casey turned sideways. "Come in."He grabbed her hair and flung her to the sofa ferociously not long after. Kitty covered the painful spot on her head and turned anxiously. "You…"Casey had been concealing a sense of madness in his eyes for a while now. It was as if a fierce beast was ready to burst out from within him. He approached Kitty and commanded sternly, "Turn around!"Kitty stood up shakily in preparation to run, yet Casey pulled
"Call Evan to check if Carol is with him," Paige said.Alex nodded, grabbed his phone, and dialed Evan's number.Unfortunately, Evan's phone was also switched off.Alex handed the phone to Paige. "His phone is off. Any idea what's going on?"Paige rolled her eyes at Alex. "You were sleeping like a log. How would you know if something happened?"Alex felt a bit hurt. "I slept with you because I saw you were asleep and didn't want to wake you."Paige grunted. "Do you think Evan and Carol are together? Their phones are off.""Is Caroline missing?" Alex perked up.Paige nodded with concern. "Her phone is off, too. Do you have Reuben's number? Maybe he knows something.""Sure, I'll give it a try." Alex then called Reuben.Reuben answered quickly."Reuben, is Evan with Caroline?" Alex inquired.Reuben glanced around awkwardly and at the onlookers. "Well, they're..."His face turned bright red. It had been a while since he stood alone by the roadside.Alex couldn't resist prying
Noticing Alex was about to return, Paige quickly lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep. She was eager to discover Alex's plans for tomorrow.-At 11:00 p.m., Caroline came home, utterly exhausted. She went upstairs, entered the bathroom, and switched on the lights, revealing her messy hair, red and swollen eyes, and noticeable love bites on her neck.Caroline clenched her fists tightly, unable to shake off the memory of Evan's brutal dominance. She knew Evan would be furious about her meeting with Casey, but she never expected things to turn out like this.Evan had warned her not to see Casey again before she even stepped out of the car. She couldn't undo what was already done.Caroline still lacked the evidence to prove her innocence and find the person who leaked Jamie's past. How could she give up now? She couldn't let this defeat her.Suddenly, Kenny's voice echoed through the house. "You're home, G. When are you getting food for me?"Caroline panicked and hastily grabbe
At 10:30 a.m., Alex exited the building while talking on his phone.Meanwhile, Paige ignited the car's engine and headed toward the direction Alex had gone. She drove until she reached a cafe near his workplace.After stepping out of the car, Alex entered the cafe and sat across from a woman.Paige's eyes widened in shock. 'Is Alex really meeting another woman without telling me? Does he still care about our relationship?'Paige quickly left the car, wearing a cap and a mask. She entered the cafe and sat at a nearby spot to eavesdrop.The woman, Juniper Pearl, spoke shyly. "You look even better in person than in photos."Alex sounded somewhat excited as he replied, "I appreciate your compliment."Juniper chuckled. "Well, I'm sure your mother has mentioned our family's situation. I think we can explore this friendship further. What do you think?"Alex replied, "That's not a problem at all, Ms. Pearl. I'm available anytime, 24/7."'Available 24/7?' Paige clenched her fists in an
Paige struggled to break free from Alex's grasp, but he quickly took hold of her hand again. He refused to let go because he feared she would leave him if he did.Since Paige wouldn't listen to him, he turned to Juniper and said, "Ms. Pearl, she's my girlfriend! I didn't willingly arrange this date today. My mother made me do it. I said those things earlier just to humor you, not with any other intention. Goodbye!""You're truly disgusting!" Paige glanced at Alex with contempt and walked away.Alex hurriedly followed her, rushing out of the cafe. He was stunned when he saw Paige entering an unfamiliar car. 'Did she switch cars to follow me here?'Without further thought, Alex opened the door and took the passenger seat.Paige said coldly, "Get out of the car."Alex frowned. "Can you calm down and let me explain?"Paige turned to him. "Am I not calm enough now? Should I throw water at you or slap you to be considered calm?"Alex said, "No, please listen to me first. My mother ca
Caroline glanced at her watch and replied, "Sure, I'll be there in 30 minutes.""I'll wait," came the response.After ending the call, Caroline hurried over to Table One.-Twenty minutes later, she entered a private room at Table One, only to find Paige eating rapidly with tears in her eyes.Caroline closed the door quietly and took a seat across from her."Paige, who hurt you?" she asked.Paige put down her utensils, chewed slowly, and replied, "I ended the relationship."Caroline was taken aback. Just two days ago, everything seemed fine.Paige burst into tears. She explained to Caroline how Alex had gone on a date his mother arranged, leaving her deeply hurt."Caroline, I tried my best not to make a scene because I didn't want to ruin the relationship. But I'm hurting so much inside, and I can't hold myself together…"Paige took a large bite of her food, eating alongside her tears and sobbing silently.Caroline welled up with tears as well. She had never seen Paige like
