Chapter 21 Haven’t You Learned Your Lesson?

Caroline's weariness was instantly evident as she retrieved her phone and saw her father's call.Suppressing the pain in her ankle, she hurriedly left the kitchen to answer the call."Hello," Caroline's voice sounded dull."Why didn't you call me, Carol?" Bradley asked.Caroline replied, "You added my number to your blacklist because you were afraid someone would trace you through me. Did you forget?"Bradley let out an awkward laugh. "Yes, I forgot. Never mind. Where are you now?""I'm working overtime," Caroline responded.Bradley commented, "Ah, working overtime is good. You can earn more. Carol, do you have any money now?"Caroline tightened her grip on the glass in her hand. Did he care about nothing besides money? Had he forgotten so quickly that he left her alone at the casino the other day?"I don't. I used all my money to repay your debt!" Caroline's voice turned harsh."Even if you have a few dollars, it's fine. Don't you have anything?" Bradley grew anxious.Bitte

Chapter 22 Who Are You Trying to Seduce?

'Who did she intend to reveal her cleavage to?' Evan thought sourly.Caroline was left speechless by Evan's remark.She had always worn such gowns in the past, so why was he prohibiting it now?Unwilling to argue, she changed into a white long gown with a deep back V, hoping it would meet his approval.However, Evan's expression grew even more somber when he saw it.The most alluring feature of her body was her back, slim and upright with two captivating shoulder blades that never failed to awaken his most primal desires in the bedroom.Those should be reserved for his eyes only. However, now, she wanted to display them to the world. Who was she trying to seduce?With a somber face, Evan walked toward a row of dresses.After examining two options, he selected a conservative, pink, long dress that perfectly complemented her temperament.Once she changed into the chosen dress, none of her alluring body parts were exposed. Satisfied, he accompanied her as they left and got into t

Chapter 23 They Look So Similar

Caroline kept his business card and graciously replied, "Mr. Xander, thank you for your assistance. I'll take my leave now."Neil couldn't tear his gaze away from Caroline until she had left.'They... they just look too alike...' He couldn't help thinking to himself."Neil!" Yuliana's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.Noticing that he was still fixated on Caroline's departure, Yuliana quickly grew dissatisfied. "Neil, why are you still staring at that vixen?"Neil furrowed his brow upon hearing her use such vulgar words. "Seriously, can't you behave like a noble young lady?""Do you have feelings for that woman? Why are you defending her?" Yuliana refuted.*Caroline quickly returned to Evan's side to avoid further unnecessary trouble.When she took her seat beside him, he looked at her pale face with suspicion. "Are you feeling unwell?"Caroline made an excuse. "I just feel a bit suffocated."Hearing that, Evan glanced away and said, "Let me know if you find somethin

Chapter 24 He’s Beyond Reason

Caroline looked up and spotted Bradley stumbling into the ward. His face was flushed from alcohol.Upon seeing Caroline, Bradley immediately wore a wide smile. "Carol, there you are!"However, Katie glared at him fiercely and spoke with anger, "What are you doing here? Leave!"Caroline quickly stood up and tried to calm her mother. "Mom, please calm down. You shouldn't get upset after your surgery."Bradley pouted. "I'll leave if you give me some money."Caroline looked at her father in disbelief. "Dad! Mom is still recovering. She can't give you any money!"He glared at Caroline. "Your mom used your money to rest comfortably in the hospital. But what about me? We don't even have a home now. I've been sleeping on the streets. Do you even understand what situation I'm in right now?"Realizing he had misspoken, he abruptly fell silent. However, both Caroline and Katie had heard his words.Pale-faced, Katie pointed at Bradley. "What did you say? What happened to our house? What di

Chapter 25 You Deserve It, Don’t You?

Under Evan's watchful gaze, Caroline struggled with conflicting emotions. She couldn't bring herself to ask Evan for an advance payment using her mother and child as a pretext. She felt responsible for her mother's care and she wanted to keep the child, so it didn't seem right to ask for money from someone else.Furthermore, she couldn't guarantee that Evan wouldn't become suspicious.As a result, she made a feeble excuse. "I suddenly forgot what I wanted to say. I'll let you know when I remember." Then, she hurriedly left the study.Sensing something was not right with Caroline, Evan furrowed his brow and decided to call Reuben.*The following day, when Caroline woke up, she received a notification on her phone informing her that she had received 280,000 dollars. Additionally, she received a message from Reuben that said [Ms. Shenton, Mr. Jordan has given you a house. The address is...]Stunned, she was at a loss for words. She hadn't mentioned anything about it, yet Evan had

Chapter 26 You Look Like a Clown

Paige turned around, glaring at Daniella. "What did you say? You better watch your tongue!"Daniella responded to Paige's glare with a disdainful glance, not taking her seriously at all. She then walked over to Caroline while smiling sweetly and said, "Evan couldn't stand that I was living in a shabby place before this, so he bought me a house. I'm certain that he and I will become a couple soon."Caroline chuckled and retorted, "So, you two aren't a couple yet, huh?""Pfft..." Daniella's smile froze as Paige burst into laughter."We'll become a couple soon enough. In any case, I'm still getting much better treatment than you." Daniella mocked Caroline."Hmm, he bought me a house too," Caroline replied indifferently before turning away and opening the door.Confusion replaced the smile on Daniella's face. Meanwhile, Paige couldn't contain her laughter. She patted Daniella's shoulders and clicking her tongue. "Stop making a fool of yourself. You look like a clown."As Daniella

Chapter 27 Please Reconsider Going

Caroline knocked expressionly on the glass, instantly capturing the attention of all the secretaries in the office. As they turned around and saw Caroline, they fell dead silent.With a smile on her face, Caroline entered the office and addressed them, "Why did the conversation suddenly stop when I arrived? Shouldn't I be included since I'm the one being talked about?"The secretaries exchanged nervous glances.Caroline held the documents in her hand as she approached the front table and shot them an icy gaze. "Perhaps you should dedicate your time to work rather than indulge in gossip about others."Placing the documents on the table, she continued, "Ms. Walker, as the head of the secretaries, you should set a better example instead of indulging in idle chat. Before you leave, kindly collect this month's salary from the finance department."Jane Walker widened her eyes and stood up abruptly. "Are you planning to fire me over this?"Caroline chuckled and retorted, "Is this your o

At Florencia Hospital.After completing the necessary hospitalization formalities, both Caroline and Paige returned to the ward.Daniella had been administered a sedative and was laying on the bed, her face pale.Meanwhile, a hint of guilt appeared on Evan's somber face as he looked at Daniella with concern.Caroline suppressed the bitterness in her heart and approached the medical case calmly. "Mr. Jordan, it's taken care of."However, Evan didn't accept it. "Ask Reuben if he has found Ella's medical records."Nodding, Caroline turned around and left the ward with Paige.Upon contacting Reuben, she honestly conveyed Evan's request.There was a brief silence on the phone before Reuben spoke. "She has suffered from severe psychological trauma since childhood, which led to regular sessions with a therapist and the use of psychotropic medication. I met with the former director to inquire, but the details were unclear. I'm now reaching out to the deputy director for more informatio

Chapter 29 He’s Outrageous and Cruel

Daniella was left stunned. It didn't take long for her to realize who else, apart from Caroline, could elicit such a hurried and furious reaction from Evan.Why did Evan hold Caroline in such high regard? She was just a shameless mistress.With a gloomy expression, Daniella decided since Caroline wouldn't let her man go, she could not be blamed for taking matters into her own hands and acting ruthlessly..*After sharing her location with Evan, Caroline composedly placed her phone in her pocket. Jumping out of the car would be too dangerous. She needed to think rationally.Caroline closed her eyes and leaned against the car door, contemplating how to confront the situation ahead.Ten minutes later, the car came to a halt.She lifted her gaze and saw a dilapidated warehouse in front of her."Step out of the car!"Abruptly, the car door swung open, and a man seized her arm.Feigning fear, Caroline looked at the unfamiliar man before her. "Who are you? Why have you brought me he

He had finally arrived. A chilling intensity filled his eyes as he looked at Caroline, who was crouched on the floor.He directed a deadly glare at Mark. "Well, Mark, impressive, aren't you? How dare you kidnap my woman?"Mark quickly stood up, seeking refuge behind his secretaries, visibly trembling. "Uncle... Uncle Evan!"Evan approached him with a few swift steps, narrowing his eyes as he questioned, "So, you finally acknowledge that I'm your uncle, huh?"Mark's fear was palpable as he swallowed nervously.In a sudden realization, Mark glanced at Caroline. "Uncle Evan, I did arrange for someone to bring her here, but it was for your sake! You have no idea what I discovered earlier. She has ulterior motives against you. She despises you to the extent that she wants to poison you. You must trust me!"Evan glanced at Caroline, who stood composedly at the side, and smirked. "Well, since you've been so considerate, I suppose I should show you some appreciation."Turning to his b
