Chapter 96 Insensible
Caroline was rendered speechless. âMaster?â
She observed the old man carefully, noticing a slight resemblance to Evan in his features.
âIs he Evanâs grandfather?â
Caroline couldnât be certain. She was unfamiliar with the members of the Jordan family, despite
being with Evan for three years.
Feeling doubtful, she walked over to the sofa and sat down.
Draco then sized her up before he uttered icily, âYouâre pretty but youâre too insensible.â
Caroline furrowed her brows lightly, perplexed.
âWhen did I offend this old man?â
Remaining calm, she asked, âSir, may I know what I did wrong to warrant such harsh words?â
âHarsh?â Draco scoffed. âLeaving Evan would be the right thing to do. You should know itâs the
right thing to do.â
Caroline chuckled. âI want to leave, but Evan wonât let me go.â
âIs that the truth, or have you used some tricks to ensnare him?â Draco interrogated.
Caroline replied, âSir, Evan is the leader of MK in the Etes area. He holds immeasurable power and
enjoys a superior status. Heâs intelligent and resourceful. Do you think he wouldnât see through
any tricks I might play?â
Draco assessed Caroline. As expected, she was deserving of her previous position as the head
secretary at MK for three years. Her manner of speaking was composed and rational.
Unfortunately, her background was too humble, so she would never be accepted into the Jordan
family.
âI will offer you one million, along with a villa in a city of your choice. You can select the location.
I only have one condition: leave Evan.â
âIâve never cared about my identity or status. As for the moneyâ¦â Caroline flashed a faint smile.
âIâm not concerned about that right now. Instead of speaking to me here, youâd better try to
persuade Evan to let me go.â
Draco scoffed in response. âYou donât want money? Then how do you explain being my sonâs mistress
for three years, huh?â
Caroline found herself at a loss for words.

Notably, Dracoâs appearance bore a resemblance to someone who could be Evanâs grandfather.
However, Caroline decided to focus on the matter at hand and replied, âThis is my private affair, so
I donât have to tell you everything.â
Draco then inquired, âSo, you refuse to leave?â
Caroline reiterated with indifference, âI will naturally leave if Evan lets go of me.â
âFine. Donât even dream of getting anything I offered just now.â
âNot even for a moment,â Caroline calmly replied.
Draco rose from his seat. âIt seems youâre not as clever as I thought.â
With that, he walked out of Villa Rosa.
Once the door closed, Lily hurriedly approached Caroline. âMs. Shenton, you were so daring. That
was Mr. Jordanâs father.â
She couldnât deny feeling nervous.
In the past, she would have panicked and carefully weighed her words. But now, all Caroline could
think about was recovering well and leaving Evan.
With a faint smile, Caroline reassured Lily, âItâs alright, Lily. I spoke the truth. Thereâs nothing to
be afraid of.â
Draco called her foolish for not leaving herself an exit strategy. She had chosen to reject the
money when it was offered to her.
Currently, she had over 400,000 dollars saved. That should be enough to support herself and her
children in the future while she found a job.
If she had accepted the money, it would have confirmed that she used tricks to cling to Evan.
After calming herself, she said, âLily, I have some unspoken troubles, but I canât reveal them for
