Trapped in Love
Chapter 288 What Is the Trending Topic Jade still seemed to be plotting something, her gaze fixed on Carolineâs watch. But her expression turned joyful when Caroline made that remark.
She thought it was a fair tradeâsigning a contract for a house. And since the property deed would be in her name, she couldnât lose the house.
Caroline grinned. âOkay, Iâll arrange for the lawyer. Just sign, and the house is yours.â
Jade was so happy that Carolineâs presence pleased her. âCaroline, Iâm your aunt anyhow. Letâs arque less and be more spontaneous-
H Before Jade could continue, Caroline interrupted her.
After returning to her room, Caroline messaged her lawyer, adding a few necessary clauses to the contract The next day, Caroline bumped into Brandon coincidentally as he was leaving. He greeted her warmly after hearing that she would buy them a house. âIâm going back to the family home first, Caroline!â
Caroline smiled. âSafe travels,â
âHehe, Iâll bring back some gifts for you since weâre going to be neighbors soon!â Brandon exclaimed.
Caroline replied mockingly, Thanks.â
Brandon left whistling in joy, oblivious to Carolineâs tone. He hailed a cab and headed to a Porsche dealership.

After a brief look around, he ordered a Porsche Cayenne on TYCâs account and returned to the village.

Caroline kept reminding herself that the timing wasnât right yet.

Reuben followed closely and suggested, âThey might try to pressure Ms. Shenton into buying them a house.â
Evan remained silent, but his frown deepened.
Reuben inquired, âHave you seen whatâs trending, Mr. Jordan?â
Evan glanced at Reuben. âWhatâs the current trend?â
Evanâs reaction motivated Reuben. He took out his phone, accessed Brandonâs posts, and showed them to Evan. âMr. Jordan, the Shentons are using Ms. Shentonâs name to create a few popular posts and have gained over 10,000 followers.â
Evan took the phone and scrolled through the photos. He sneered when he finished. Just a bunch of attentionâseekers. How is she?â
Reuben felt troubled by the question.
âMs. Shenton appears quite composed as if everything is under control,â Reuben replied.
Evanâs frown gradually eased, and he smiled faintly. âIt seems she has a plan to handle this situation.â
Reuben didnât quite grasp what Evan meant. He only realized how well Evan knew Carolineâs character when the elevator doors opened
