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

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

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

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

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
