Chapter 404 Have You Decided?

Yuliana nodded, feeling embarrassed for scolding Caroline in the past when she didn’t know

better.

“Yes,” Yuliana replied.

Greta noticed something and said, “We’ve seen you grow, Yulia. You’re more mature now. I need a

favor from you.”

Yuliana said, “Go ahead.”

“Can you help watch over Caroline and keep an eye on her relationship with Neil?” Greta asked.

Yuliana agreed. “Sure, Daniella asked me to watch her too.”

Greta frowned. “Why did she ask you to do that?”

Yuliana explained how Daniella had threatened her with Thomas‘ return to the company. She also.

discussed the relationship between Caroline and Casey.

Greta chuckled, “Scheming, jealous, and arrogant. She can’t be Ellie’s child. However, we must

maintain a good relationship with her until we have evidence to prove otherwise.”

“Mom, I hate her and can’t explain it!” Yuliana confessed.

“Hate can be a form of motivation, too. You must endure the hardship until we find leverage over

Daniella, Greta advised.

Yuliana understood. “I get it, Mom.”

At 9:00 am, Yuliana arrived at the hospital wearing a cap and a mask.

She walked past Caroline and Casey’s rooms using the room numbers provided by Daniella.

She texted Daniella (They haven’t met yet. I’ll let you know when they do]

She put her phone in her pocket and found a spot to sit and wait.

Joan lay on the sofa after spending all night finishing her design. “It’s done!*

Caroline came out of the restroom and noticed Joan’s design immediately. She approached Joan,

frowning. “Are you sure you want to publish this, Joan?”

“Do you have any objections? It’s exactly what I want!” Joan replied.

Caroline found the design to be sloppy but unique, with intriguing details. However, it seemed.

more suited for a runway display. She figured that very few people would vote for it based on their

beauty standards.

In other words, Joan was intentionally not aiming to win.

Caroline looked at Joan in frustration. “Tell me the truth. You don’t plan to win, do you?”

Joan crossed her long legs and admitted, “Yes, I figured it out last night. I don’t want to win the

competition. My goal is to find out who that arrogant fellow is!”

Caroline asked, “What if the person’s goal in winning is to have you design for them?”

Joan replied, “I’ll have to see how they plan to recruit me because I’m not interested in

unchallenging tasks.”

Caroline said, “Alright, as long as you’re happy.

Caroline received a text message shortly after.

She checked her phone and noticed it came from an unknown number

Caroline recognized the sender as soon as she read it.

Casey: [Have you made up your mind?]

Caroline remembered Daniella’s reaction from the previous day and responded.

Caroline: [You seem more anxious than I am.]

Casey: [The weather is nice today. Would you like to take a walk?)

Caroline checked on Joan, who was dozing off

Caroline: [Let’s meet at the usual spot]

Ten minutes later, Caroline and Casey met at the pavilion.

Casey smiled gracefully and said, “It looks like you’ve already made your decision.”

Caroline looked at him and replied, “You came to me first.”

Casey said, “Since you agreed to meet, I believe you’ve already decided.”

“I’m not planning to seek revenge, but I do want to annoy him,” Caroline said nonchalantly.

“Hmm, let’s start by going on a date then,” Casey suggested with a smile.
