Chapter 49

Chapter 49 I Refuse to Be a Homewrecker As she pulled the suitcases out the door, a sleek Maybach pulled up in front. Evan who sitting. inside the car, caught sight of Caroline standing at the entrance with her luggage.

Stepping out of the vehicle, he approached Caroline with a gloomy expression and inquired, “What are you doing?”

Caroline responded with an expressionless face, “Evan, please carefully consider my words, now that you’ve made up your mind.

–

Glancing at her suitcases, he sneered, “You want me to consider letting you go?”

Caroline lifted her gaze and spoke calmly but aloofly, “Yes.”

His demeanor grew somber. “Are you that eager to be with Doctor Wilson?”

To prevent him from angrily kicking her suitcases, she deliberately placed them behind her.

“Evan, I have no control over your thoughts. As I’ve mentioned before, I refuse to be a homewrecker.

Even though it’ll be a month later before you get officially engaged, I no longer wish to be your mistress.”

Her statement caused an instant chill in the air. “How do you know I’m getting engaged in a month?”

Caroline sneered, “Did you already forget what you said? Should I remind you of the time and place?”

Her sarcastic words stung both of them, casting a shadow of gloom over Evan.

She exposed her true emotions to other men, whereas she had always remained aloof and distant in his presence, which fueled his anger.

He felt that he had spoiled her to the point where she had the audacity to retort. Irritated, he took a step toward Caroline. “Do you want to terminate the contract? Caroline, can you afford to do so?”

Caroline replied, “I can’t, but L..”

“Caroline!” Evan interrupted her coldly. “It’s the final month. The contract will end then!”

His tone was icy, leaving no room for her to refuse A month wasn’t a particularly long or short period of time. However, she couldn’t disobey her mother’s dying wish. “Evan, I believe I can bear the consequences.”

After a brief moment of silence, he snorted gloomily, crushing any hope that she might have had.

“So, you’re not planning to take any action against the person who killed your mother, are you?”

Caroline clenched her teeth as she thought, ‘Is that how he sees it? I have no evidence. What’s more, he’s going to get engaged to my mother’s murderer and protect her! I’ll lose if I take her head.

-on.”

But his words seemed to carry an underlying meaning.

Caroline sighed inwardly before cautiously asking. “Evan, what do you mean?”

He glared at her coldly. “If you can’t figure it out, go inside and eat. You can ponder it after you’re full.”

It was the last chance he was giving her.

She understood his unspoken message, even without him explaining it.

As long as she remained obedient, he would deal with the culprit.

Caroline’s curiosity was piqued. What would he do if he discovered it was Daniella?

Perhaps he would find an excuse to delay any action against her and disregard Daniella’s deeds.

Pursing her lips, she inquired, “And if I insist on leaving?”

In response to her question, he closed the distance between them and abruptly grasped her chin. Well, then I’ll make your cherished Doctor Wilson vanish from Angelbay City tonight!*

“Evan! Why are you always trying to involve innocent people?” Caroline glared at him.

She screamed inwardly, ‘Doctor Wilson! He always brings up Doctor Wilson! There’s nothing between Doctor Wilson and me. Why does he keep mentioning Doctor Wilson?‘

“You guys aren’t innocent.” he retorted before turning and walking toward the villa.

Before entering, he added, “Think it through.”

Caroline seethed with anger, yet she felt utterly helpless against him.

She knew Evan was a man of his word.

After Daniella received a call in the hospital, she nearly destroyed everything in her ward.

It was the first time her fake foster parents had witnessed her in such a rage, causing them to retreat to a corner and remain silent.

Daniella glared fiercely at the bandages around her wrist.

She had endured the pain in exchange for Evan’s sympathy. She had even gone to great lengths to Her intention was to show Caroline that she had gained Evan’s trust.

However, she hadn’t anticipated that Caroline was pregnant with Evan’s child.

Was that the reason Evan hadn’t insisted on Caroline leaving? Had he learned of her pregnancy?

It seemed that she had to find a chance to sound him out.

If…

If she were to carry Evan’s child…

Caroline’s child would not be as precious as hers.

Daniella pondered the idea for a while, then suddenly recalled something She sent a text to Nic. [Nic, I miss you. When are you coming to see me?]

Caroline received an email in the afternoon a few days later. She had passed the preliminary round of the online fashion competition.

However, the excitement she once felt about being selected had waned. In the past, she had pursued her dreams for the sake of her mother and children. Now, she did it for her children alone.

Glancing at the time for the second round of the competition, she closed the email without much enthusiasm.

Suddenly, her phone rang beside her.

Upon seeing that it was Paige calling, she answered.

“Carol, come down here immediately. Something’s wrong!” Paige’s voice was filled with nervousness.

Caroline maintained her composure as she inquired, “What’s the matter?”

Paige explained in a hurried tone, “Your father is downstairs, just outside the company. Hurry up and make him leave before he causes a scene.”

Furrowing her brow, Caroline thought, ‘It’s only the tenth, and they’ve already released him.”

“Got it. I’ll be there shortly.” With that, she ended the call and made her way downstairs.
