Secrets Of The Sullivan Sisters by Ada Leonard
Chapter 23
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense. Since Jacob and Shirley were angry, nob*dy dared say a word.
Caroline came to Nathan and asked, âMr. Faraday, what can I do for you?â
âCover the scar on your f
face. Let me see if your face is the same as Shirleyâs, replied Nathan.
âMr. Faraday, I canâtâ¦â
If you donât do it, then I will!â hissed Nathan.
Nathan then pulled Caroline before him and then stretched out his hand to cover the scar on Carolineâs face. Her delicate, cold, and beautiful face was exposed.
It looked exactly like Shirleyâs face.
When he looked at Carolineâs porcelain-white face and crystal-clear eyes, Nathan thought, âCarolineâs face is not only the same as Shirleyâs. This face also looks exactly like the person who snuggled up to me the night before!!
Nathanâs eyes were like thick ink, and the darkness in them was as dangerous as an abyss. âWhy is your face exactly the same as Shirleyâs?â
âHoney, Caroline went to get plastic surgery using my face as a reference. However, the plastic surgery was a failure, which left this scar on her face!â Shirley explained hurriedly
Nathan looked at Caroline and asked, âReally?â
Caroline had to admit it first. âYes.
âIf thatâs the case⦠Have you ever lied to me? Such as covering up this scar and pretending to be Shirley?â Nathan stared at Caroline calmly and said something that made her shudder.
Carolineâs cold sweat soon made Nathan doubt it.
Caroline tried to calm herself down. Right now, Nathan had no idea that the scar on her face was fake. Jacob was the only person who knew the truth.
âHow could that be possible, Mr. Faraday? Even if I cover this scar with a thick layer of foundation, you will definitely see it if you were lying next to me. I canât cover this up at all,â replied Caroline.
Nathan pursed his l*ps. Indeed, the girl who had slept in his arms these past two nights had no makeup at all. Her face was clean, tender, and flawless.
On top of that, he could definitely see such a long scar on her face even if it were covered with foundation.
âWas I just suspicious over nothing, then? wondered Nathan.
âYouâd better not lie to me, or youâll regret it, said Nathan with a hint of warning in his voice. He then turned around to leave.
Having said that, Nathan then left. As soon as the strong, oppressive aura dispersed, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief. It was so risky, considering how Nathan nearly discovered the truth.
Jacob stepped forward and said, âYou ugly woman, why
how much does Uncle Nathan pay you? Iâll double you working as a housekeeper in Uncle Nathanâs house? Well,
your salary. You can come to me and be my exclusive little housekeeper!â
Jacob chose to be deliberately suggestive when he referred to Caroline as âmy exclusive little housekeeper.â This made everyoneâs imaginations run wild.
âMr. Faraday, how could you fall in love with Caroline? Sheâs had too much plastic surgery done!â Shirley said.
âHey, Shirley, arenât you thinking too highly of yourself? Is it because I addressed you as Aunt Shirleyâ once? I donât know why Uncle Nathan married you. I think youâre the one who had too much work done on your face, retorted Jacob.
Shirley gritted her teeth jealously. She didnât know when Caroline ensnared the little overlord of the Faraday family. Nathan liked Caroline, but now Jacob was also interested in Caroline. Shirley couldnât accept that both of these men were obsessed with Caroline!
âYou should stick around with me, ugly woman. Iâll support you in the future. Iâll have a lot of money,â said Jacob.
âJacob! Just then, Nathanâs low voice could be heard. He sounded displeased. For some reason, Nathan had come back.
âUncle Nathan, why are you back?
âI want you to follow me to the office today,â replied Nathan. Tâm going to observe your finance and management skills.â
Jacob immediately howled. âUncle Nathan! I donât want to!â
âThen Iâll tell your father to cancel all your credit cards. Nathan remained impassive.
âWhat? Heâs going to cancel my credit cards?â thought Jacob.
Jacob, who had been flaunting his wealth earlier, was suddenly given a slap to the face by his Uncle Nathan.
âOkay, Uncle Nathan, Iâll go to the office with you!â Jacob waved his hand at Caroline reluctantly and added, âIâll hang out with you another time, ugly woman.â
Nathan and his nephew had finally left. Caroline lowered her gaze. Just then, a chime was heard as she received a text on her phone.
The text was from an unknown number: [Break up with Jacob right away!]
