Chapter 113 What Is She Trying to Do

Caroline put down her phone, her expression displeased. She wondered, “What the heck is

Daniella trying to do?”

While Daniella often knew things, Caroline couldn’t understand why she chose to share this

information with her.

The location of Dylan’s Cafe on Sail Road was usually busy, so Caroline assumed that Daniella

wouldn’t cause any trouble in public, despite her boldness.

By the time Caroline finished handling her matters, it was already 7:30 p.m. She waited for Evan to

return home for half an hour, but he didn’t show up. Concerned, she headed to Lily’s room.

Noticing the light on from under the door, Caroline knocked, and Lily opened it promptly.

“Why are you still awake?” Lily asked while getting a glass of water for Caroline.

Caroline pursed her lips and replied, “I’ll be heading out tomorrow, Lily.”

“Away?” Lily seemed surprised. “Aren’t you worried about those two families?”

“I am,” Caroline said. “And I was planning on telling Evan, but he’s still not home. I don’t think he’ll be

back tonight.”

Lily sighed. “Mr. Jordan’s expression didn’t look right when he left this morning.”

Caroline wasn’t overly concerned about Evan’s whereabouts. She was troubled by what Daniella

might reveal the next day.

After informing Lily, Caroline returned to her room, charged her voice recorder, washed up, and

went to sleep.

The next morning, Caroline woke up to her alarm clock. She went downstairs after getting ready and

was met by Lily.

“Oh, Carol. Mr. Jordan didn’t come back last night.”

Caroline nodded. “It’s fine. I’ll get in touch with him later.”

Lily didn’t say more, and Caroline left the house after breakfast, using a ride–share service to head

to the cafe

She found Daniella sitting leisurely by herself on the second floor, sipping water next to a window.

Caroline turned on the voice recorder in her pocket and sat down across from Daniella.

Daniella glanced at her and said, “Order whatever you want.”

Caroline signaled the waitress and ordered a glass of lemon–infused water. She asked coldly, “Tell me

what you know.”

“Don’t rush it,” Daniella replied, placing her glass down. “Let’s discuss the terms first.”

Caroline inquired, “Is it to get me to leave Evan?”

“Yes.” Daniella nodded. “You’ve been through hardships before, so you know the consequences of

provoking the two families.”

“Do you think they’ll stop targeting me if I leave?” Caroline asked calmly.

Daniella’s expression turned slightly gloomy. “You don’t sound like you’re planning to leave.”

Caroline took a sip of water and replied, “After weighing the pros and cons, I’ve concluded that being

with him provides the greatest level of protection for my children.”

Caroline was observing Daniella’s expression and was taken aback when she smirked.

Feeling uncertain about Daniella’s intentions, Caroline grew restless. She asked with a serious

expression, “Aren’t you planning to tell me?”

Suddenly, Caroline’s vision swayed twice, and her voice faded. She grabbed the table to steady

herself and shook her head.

“It seems to be taking effect rather quickly.” Daniella smirked coldly.

Caroline widened her eyes, looking at Daniella in shock. “What did you do?”

Daniella stood up, approached Caroline slowly, and leaned over. “Do you think you’re safe because

you’re in public? It’s a waste that I switched out the staff of this cafe with Master Jordan’s help

last night…”
