Chapter 175

Yet, Jack’s final action seemed undoubtedly like a challenge to Eddy.

Eddy clenched his fists. He felt enraged, as though something precious had been stolen from him. It made him open the car door with a slam. He floored the gas pedal.

With a loud vroom, the Ferrari shot off like an arrow.

Only after the car sped away did the crowd return to themselves.

None of them could believe their eyes.

They hadn’t been dreaming… had they?

“Somebody pinch me! Pinch me quick! Did I see that wrong? Did Caroline Evans actually reject Mr.

Eddy and get into another man’s car?”

Amidst the packed throng, Vivian sneered disdainfully.

When Susan saw this, she started mocking. “That ruffian just now had to be Caroline’s husband, right, Viv? He doesn’t look like someone with money or power. It’s no wonder she’s been hiding him and doesn’t even say what her husband does. It’s because he’s a disgrace.”

Someone was confused. “From the looks of it, Mr. Eddy was here to pursue Caroline. Why doesn’t Caroline accept the offer and get back with Mr. Eddy?”

“You don’t know about this, do you?” Susan was ecstatic.

“For one, Caroline already married the man. If she wanted to get back together with Eddy, she would have to get divorced first. Otherwise, she’d have people talking shit about her.”

She continued, “Besides, do you really think Mr. Eddy is honestly here to win Caroline back? If he liked her, they would have gotten married by now.

Someone asked, “Then why did Mr. Eddy come? He’s the Morrisons‘ heir. Who could ever make him do something he doesn’t want to?”

For a second, Susan couldn’t answer. She looked at Vivian for help, -Vivian looked up in the direction where the car had gone.

“It’s not that simple. You don’t understand a man’s possessiveness. Caroline’s life used to revolve around Mr. Eddy. Now that she’s suddenly acting differently, Mr. Eddy’s probably just not used to 1. it. Once some time passes, I bet Eddy will stop looking for Caroline.”

When the others heard this, they all thought Vivian was right.

“Viv, you sure have it all figured out.

Vivian smurd in the beginning, she had been worried about Caroline agreeing so easily to the ultimatum She wondered if Caroline was so confident because she still had Eddy as a trump card Now it seemed that she wouldn’t have to worry about it at all Silting in the car, Caroline touched her neck where Eddy had strangled her. Her expression was dark There were clear finger marks on her neck.

Right then, her phone rang Gwen was calling her “Carol, are you free tonight? Let’s have morning tea Caroline got back into her usual mood and asked with a laugh, “Having morning tea at night?”

“Just come,” Gwen coaxed.

Caroline could tell from Gwen’s voice that she wasn’t feeling well. “Alright, where are you? Send me the address”

Gwen quickly sent her address.

Caroline asked Jack to change directions and head to where Gwen was.

The shop was in the city center. When Caroline got there, the table before Gwen was littered with beer bottles.

When the shop owner saw someone coming, he quickly said, “Sorry, we’re closed.”

Caroline looked toward Gwen. “I’m here for my friend.”

When the owner heard that, his expression changed to one of relief. “That’s your friend?”

He meant Gwen, of course.

Caroline nodded.

The owner looked like he’d just had a weight taken off his shoulders.

“You’re finally here, miss. Please take your friend away. She’s been here all day. We closed ages ago, but we didn’t feel too good about chasing off a customer. Look at the state she’s in…”

Caroline was stunned.

Didn’t Gwen go to work?

She glanced at Gwen again.

Gwen was currently pouring herself another drink. Her expression seemed normal.
