Chapter 458 Please Explain

Reuben gazed at Caroline and spoke. “Mr. Jordan isn’t that kind of person, Ms. Shenton. You

worked for him for three years. Have you ever seen him use such unethical tactics?

“Mr. Jordan invested a lot of manpower and money into commissioning the medical team. You’ve

crossed a line today, Ms. Shenton.”

With those words, Reuben departed.

Caroline stood in front of the tombstone, silent.

She thought, Have I gone too far? I wanted to believe that you intended to save Lily willingly, too.

Yet, Lily died during the surgery performed by the doctors you hired! You won’t even swear to it.

How can I trust that your conscience is clear?’

After some time, Caroline walked toward Katie’s tombstone, placing the bouquet she had prepared

before it. She retrieved a tissue and used it to clean the tombstone.

“Mom, I’m here. Do you blame me for not visiting in so long?” Caroline managed a weak smile. “I

changed my name and hid for five years abroad. I’m a fashion designer now, with a few small

achievements since my return.

“You must watch over me, ensuring my career goes smoothly, right? Mom, I have three adorable

you next time, okay?” and intelligent grandchildren. I’ll bring them to visi

Caroline looked at Katie’s name on the tombstone, her eyes welling with tears. “Mom, please forgive

me for not visiting. I haven’t yet defeated my enemies, so I don’t have the courage to face

you. Please forgive me.”

In the car on the way back, Evan looked displeased. He stared out the window, feeling suffocated. He

had faced doubts from others, but when Caroline doubted him, it stirred a furious but dumb

response within him.

“Mr. Jordan, Ms. Shenton’s words may be harsh due to her overwhelming sadness,” Reuben said,

feeling uneasy.

Evan glanced at him. “How would you feel if you were repeatedly doubted?”

“Well… I would distance myself.” Reuben hesitated. “Mr. Jordan, there’s something I’m uncertain

“Go on,” Evan urged in a deep voice.

“I believe Ms. Shenton wants to understand why you never trusted her,” Reuben said. “Mr. Jordan,

maybe you could try putting yourself in her shoes after today’s incident. Perhaps Ms. Shenton

didn’t harm Mrs. Jordan, just as you never intended to harm Ms. Smith.”

Evan contemplated this, feeling as if his heart had been hollowed out, flooded with memories. He

recalled Caroline’s disappointed gaze, sorrowful expression, and powerless explanations, all of

which he had never truly believed.

That night, Caroline locked herself in her room upon returning to the villa.

Kenny took off his jacket and approached Paige, who was eating heartily. “What’s going on with

G? Is she still grieving?”

Paige rolled her eyes at Kenny before turning to Neil. “Can you please explain to this clueless guy.

Neil?”

Neil clarified, “Lily was just buried. Caroline can’t move on from the grief so quickly. Besides,

there’s more than just grief on her mind.”

The puzzled Kenny asked, “What else?”

He sat down and took a hearty gulp of the soup. His eyes widened in delight. This tastes amazing!”

Eira chuckled. “Thank you for the compliment.”
