Chapter 114 This Matter Isn’t Over ‘Master Jordan?‘

Daniella’s voice was growing blurry in Caroline’s ears as she lost consciousness.

When Caroline woke up, she found herself in a rental property’s bedroom, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Sensing something was wrong, she sat up quickly and noticed a blood- stained dagger in her hand. Frightened, she immediately threw the dagger away.

Although she saw a considerable amount of blood on her body, she felt no pain. A shiver ran down her spine as she got out of bed, feeling unsteady. Slowly, she made her way toward the living room.

As soon as she laid eyes on a man lying on the ground, covered in blood, with wide–open eyes, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the floor.

‘What the heck is going on?‘ she thought.

Caroline suddenly heard footsteps from the corridor before she recovered from her surprise.

Soon afterward, police officers barged into the house holding their guns.

Caroline came to understand the situation the moment she saw the police.

It was Daniella’s trap!

The police officers subdued Caroline and took her to the station.

At Villa Rosa.

Anxiously, Lily called Reuben while looking at the gradually darkening sky outside.

When the call was picked up, she asked, “Reuben, is Mr. Jordan with you?”

Reuben replied, “Mr. Jordan is busy. Let’s talk later.”

Reuben hung up the call and glanced at Evan sitting by the bedside. “Lily called, Mr. Jordan.”

Evan looked at Reuben with a dark gaze and softly berated, “Shut up!”

Reuben nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Grayson’s call connected.

Evan looked toward the woman sleeping on the bed and walked out of the room to pick up the call “Evan! Your mistress almost killed my granddaughter! This matter isn’t over between you and me!”

Grayson hung up after he berated Evan Evan’s expression turned solemn instantly. He ordered Reuben, who stood behind him, “Take care of her. I’m going out.”

Half an hour later, Evan entered Daniella’s room.

His expression turned cold as he noticed the bandage on her body.

Grayson glared at him. “Look at what your mistress did! She not only killed a man but also tried to kill Daniella! If her bodyguard hadn’t arrived in time, you’d be seeing a corpse!”

Grayson’s voice woke Daniella, and she slowly opened her eyes, shedding tears when she saw Evan “Evan… Caroline tried to kill me… It hurt so much when she stabbed me twice… Had I not reacted quickly, our child would be dead…”

Evan clenched his fists tightly. What the heck had happened in just one day when he was not around?

Early in the morning, Evan meticulously examined the entire sequence of events, and all the solid evidence he gathered pointed to Caroline as the murderer.

The victim was Nicholas, and the evidence indicated that Caroline killed him in revenge.

Grayson’s account was truthful. Daniella and her baby would have lost their lives if the bodyguards hadn’t arrived on time.

Evan placed the evidence on the table, holding Caroline’s health report in his hand.

Reuben stood nearby, torn with mixed emotions. ‘How did Ms. Shenton get pregnant?‘ he wondered, recalling that he had sent her contraceptive pills around the time she conceived.

Evan’s expression was serious, and the atmosphere in the house turned chillingly cold.

Summoning his courage, Reuben spoke. “Mr. Jordan, Master Xander is determined to seek the death penalty for Ms. Shenton.”
