Evan glanced at Draco, but remained silent. Draco was well aware of Evan's temper, so he made an effort to control his anger."Evan, tell me, what kind of woman managed to convince you to propose an engagement within such a short time?" Draco inquired.Evan shot him a cold glare. "Have you forgotten what happened to me when I was eight years old?"Both Draco and Adam's expressions stiffened. Draco inquired, "Have you managed to find the girl who saved you back then?"Evan responded somberly, "Yes."Draco was left speechless. It was common knowledge that his son had been searching for that girl. While he felt grateful to her for rescuing Evan, he believed his daughter-in-law should come from a family of equal standing.Draco suggested, "Since you've found her, you can simply offer her money and a house. There's no need to marry her."Evan sneered. "Do you think I could sit here idly if not for her?"A deep crease formed between Draco's brows. "Evan!""Dad!" Evan abruptly st
When Evan received Caroline's call, he had just arrived at the orphanage. Frowning slightly, he glanced at the name on his phone screen and wondered, "Why is she calling me at this hour?"He picked up the call and before he could speak, he heard Caroline's vigorous coughing."Evan, save me!" Caroline shouted anxiously, her voice filled with desperation.Evan's handsome face immediately darkened, his eyes turning cold. "Where are you?""I'm at Cloude Orphanage, in the old shack at the back," Caroline managed to say amidst her coughs. "Someone… Cough! Cough! Someone purposely set the place on fire and locked me inside. Cough! Cough… Evan! Save me! Cough! I can't get out!"Upon hearing her words, Evan's gaze shifted to the orphanage, his expression filled with a chilling determination. Without wasting any time, he opened the car door and swiftly stepped out. "Caroline, cover your mouth and find an air vent. Stand near it. I'm coming right away."Reuben, noticing something was amis
Evan did not pressure Caroline for an answer when she refused to disclose the truth.Once the firefighters and police officers arrived at the scene, he escorted her to a nearby hospital after she finished giving her testimony. The doctor examined her lungs, and upon being assured of her well-being, they departed.On her way home, drowsiness overcame Caroline, causing her to accidentally bump her head against the car door from time to time.Seeing that, Evan pursed his thin lips and extended his hand, gently supporting her head and allowing her to rest it on his shoulder.Reuben, who was driving, caught a glimpse of the scene through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but suppress his laughter.'Mr. Jordan is stubborn, but he does care about Ms. Shenton,' Reuben mused to himself.Two hours later, they arrived at Villa Rosa.Initially, Evan had intended to carry Caroline out of the car, but the moment he touched her legs, she abruptly awakened and shrinked back in fear. When
Caroline was taken aback, her mind reeling. "Robin asked you to run me over? And what about the posters at the hospital?"The bald man replied, "We were the ones who put up those posters to defame you."Caroline couldn't stay seated any longer. She abruptly stood up and confronted them. "Daniella. Do you know her?"Evan turned to Caroline, who had become unhinged. His eyes reflected a multitude of complex emotions.But the bald man shook his head. "As I said before, we only have limited knowledge. I can't guarantee if Robin knows her or not. The truth will only be revealed when you capture Robin."Caroline's face turned as white as a sheet with anger. She knew deep down that Daniella was behind all this, but Daniella was skilled at hiding herself. Even if Caroline found the people who attacked her, she would be powerless against Daniella.She could only suffer in silence, even if she knew the truth. The only way forward was to play the fool and continue searching for evidence.S
Both Caroline and Paige exchanged a silent glance, understanding each other without words.They were not in the habit of eavesdropping, so they proceeded directly toward the private room. However, just as they took a couple of steps, Evan's words halted them in their tracks."You're pregnant?" Evan's voice sounded hoarse and filled with bewilderment.Daniella nodded with a pitiful expression. "Evan, it's been a month. I don't want to force you into an engagement because of the child. If you don't want the baby, I can have an abortion.""No!" His response was icy, carrying an unmistakable intensity.Caroline, on the other hand, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. She stood there speechless, her mind unable to comprehend the situation.Based on Evan's tone, it seemed he intended to accept Daniella's child."Carol..." Paige looked at Caroline with concern.Caroline blinked, trying to collect herself. "Let's go..."However, Paige grabbed her arm and led her
Caroline immediately stopped talking and turned to look behind her. It was none other than Dr. Wilson, holding a bouquet of Leucanthemella flowers."Doctor Wilson?" Caroline stood up in astonishment. It had been quite some time since she last saw Scott.Under the warm sunlight, Scott's facial features emanated a gentle charm. He appeared refined and kind.With a smile, Scott said, "I saw you as I was heading upstairs just now, but I didn't want to disturb you since you were talking to Mrs. Shenton."Awkwardness washed over her. Caroline didn't know how much he had overheard.To change the subject, Caroline spoke up, "Thank you for visiting my mother."Scott placed the flowers in front of the tombstone and spoke with clarity and tenderness, "You haven't been taking good care of yourself."His words carried a certain conviction.Caroline lowered her gaze. "I've been very busy with work lately."Scott glanced at her belly. "You should think about your babies. The first three mo
Scott followed Caroline's gaze and immediately understood what had transpired. He spoke softly, "Should I go up first?"Caroline pondered for a moment before replying, "No, it's fine. I'll be done after saying hello to him."She had no interest in drama.She couldn't fathom why he was here now. Nonetheless, she deemed it appropriate to acknowledge him since he had previously come to her rescue.Scoff nodded and patiently waited as she made her way toward the Maybach.As Caroline approached the car, Evan rolled down the window, revealing his stern, handsome face.Maintaining a cold and courteous tone, she greeted him, "Happy New Year, Evan."Addressing him formally created an immediate distance between them.He returned her gaze coldly and commanded, "Get in."Refusing his demand, she asserted, "My friend is waiting for me. I'll go after saying hello to you.""Don't make me repeat myself!" Evan's tone left little room for defiance.Caroline scoffed. Who did he think he was, o
Daniella roared, her voice filled with anger. "Do you honestly think Evan would believe you?""Sure, he might not believe me, but…"Caroline couldn't help but notice the swell of Daniella's belly as she spoke. "If I were to tell him about your affair with another man while you're with him, do you think he'd suspect that the baby isn't his?""Bullshit!""Oh, it seems like your memory is failing you. Have you forgotten about Nic, whom you slept with?"Caroline teased.Daniella’s face paled. "You’re full of bullshit, Caroline!"Caroline's smile grew wider. "Why so nervous? Are you feeling guilty?"In a fit of anger, Daniella slammed her hand on the table and pointed at Caroline. "Do you really think Evan would believe you based on that? Do you honestly believe you can jeopardize our relationship so easily? Are you blind to how differently he treats me compared to you?"Daniella stormed toward the door, fearing that Caroline might lose control and strike her once more. Just before s
