Trapped in Love
hapter 186 Wonât Show Weakness There was no way to tell how Evan felt from his expression.
âIâm just here to ask you a question. Whatâs your relationship with G?â
Caroline was rendered speechless, thinking. What do you mean whatâs my relationship with G? What relationship can I have with myself? Has Evan mistakenly assumed that G is someone else?â
Caroline said. âIâm not obligated to answer your questionâ
Evan looked at her scornfully. âG is wildly conceited with limited perspective. Even if he is extraordinarily talented in some ways, he wonât go far.â
âWhy do you have to speculate a designerâs progress from your businessmanâs perspective?â Caroline was amused. He regarded her as having limited perspective just because she refused to work for him.
Will I only be able to grow my influence by relying on MK? she wondered sarcastically.
She had never relied on him for the past five years, yet she still achieved her dream of becoming at topânotch designer.
Evan casually twirled his wine and remarked, âUnless heâs content with designing without making a profit, heâs bound to attract envy. In the near future, heâll likely face attempts to undermine his efforts.
âLet me be direct here. Without strong support, heâll eventually be overwhelmed by rival merchants.
You were my secretary for quite a while, so do I need to remind you about the cutthroat business world?â
Caroline couldnât find fault with Evanâs observation.
The truth was evident. A company, especially a fledgling one, could find itself in serious trouble if it drew the attention of envious individuals resorting to malicious tactics.
Building influence alone wouldnât be a simple task.
Caroline calined herself and took a sip of wine. âThank you for your kind reminder. Iâll stay alert.â
âThere are things that are impossible to guard against.â Evan said. âMy advice to you is to stay away from G. He is not someone you can control or protect with your capability âDo you think that G is Kenny?â Caroline asked mockingly.
âIâll hold on to my guess.â Evan met Carolineâs eyes and said, âThereâs something else.â
Caroline said, âWhat is it?â
Evan stared at Caroline and said, âAre Tyler and Liora my children?
Caroline smirked. âThe children are with you. Is my answer stall necessary?â
After saying that, Caroline stood up and circled past Evan to return to the banquet hall.
The more desperate he wanted to hear it from her, the more she refused to disclose it to him Evanâs expression turned cold. He pulled out his phone to call Reuben and said, âGet two sets of paternity tests tomorrow.â
you Caroline found Paige drinking in the banquet hall and said, âHow much more are you going to drink?â
Paige waved her hand and stumbled for a few steps âDonât mind me, Carol. Go and attend to your tasks Even if lend up in a hospital tonight from drinking, I wonât show weakness to Pierce.â
Caroline found her secretary and ordered her to send Paige home after the celebratory gathering had ended.
On the other hand, Caroline left the hotel and drove to the clothing factory.
She remembered Evanâs words and understood she would need to be meticulous in every step of the clothing production, including quality control.
The following day, a piercing scream jolted the man resting in the hotelâs presidential suite.
As Alex awakened, a sudden kick struck his buttocks.
He tumbled off the bed involuntarily.
Simultaneously, he experienced acute pain accompanied by the sound of a sharp scream.
âPierce, you bastard! What did you do to me?â
