Chapter 44

Caroline couldn’t be bothered to finish doing her nails. After letting Gwen know, she left.

By the time Gwen went out after her, Caroline was long gone.

Nervous, Caroline sped home. However, when she reached home, she found everyone sitting quietly in the living room. It looked as though there was nothing amiss at all.

“Didn’t you say something happened?”

“If you didn’t come home, something would have happened for sure.” Sarah raised her head.

Only then did Caroline notice the bottles in front of Sarah. They were black, so she couldn’t tell what was inside.

“It’s a pesticide.”

Sarah seemed to know what Caroline was thinking. She answered Caroline’s question before she -Could ask it.

Caroline was shocked. “What did you say?”

Sarah picked up one of the bottles and walked unsteadily before Caroline. She dropped to her knees in front of her daughter.

“Carrie, I’m begging you. Get a divorce, please?”

“Mom, didn’t I already say I wouldn’t divorce him? Besides, the company has money now. With

this money…”

“I

“Carrie!” Sarah cut her off. “Are you really that naive? How long can 50 million dollars last? The

company is bleeding money. It can only keep going if you marry Eddy!”

Caroline was absolutely confused. “If it’s losing money, why are we still keeping it operating?“–

Sarah looked at Caroline dotingly. “You sweet, innocent child. It’s only because we still have the company that our family has the chance to rise again. Without the Evans Group, we will never

regain the glory we had before.”

“But even if we get the Morrison family’s help, whatever money they give us will be wasted if we don’t have a good operations strategy!”

“Enough!” Dan suddenly stood up and cried. “Caroline, Mr. Morrison Senior’s birthday is coming up in a few days. I want you to announce your marriage with Eddy at the banquet!”

“Dad, why are you still considering this marriage? Does Eddy know that you want me to announce it at the banquet? What if he doesn’t comply? I’ll become a joke!”

Don’t you wolly Dan was confident As long as you make the announcement, any will play

along with you”

“I won’t do it,” Caroline said Tve always done as you asked since I was a kid How, I want to live for

myself!”

“Alright then!” Dan pointed at Caroline in rage. “You’re a grown woman now! You have your

independence!”

After he said this, he snatched up the bottle on the table and twisted its cap open “If you don’t

agree to it, I’ll drink every drop of this pesticide!”

“Me too” Sarah opened a bottle too. She looked at Caroline with tears in her eyes “Caroline, do you

really want to watch your parents die?”

Caroline felt thunderstruck. She stumbled backward in response.

Her parents were actually threatening her with suicide to get her to marry Eddy!

“You really want me to die, don’t you?” Her eyes filled with tears, but she kept her head held

high, not willing to relent.

“Caroline, why would you die? You’re just marrying into the Morrison family! You’ll be living a

luxurious life! Do you know how many people want to take your place? You have to hold onto this

opportunity!”

Caroline felt like her heart was breaking. She threw her head back and laughed. “Alright. If you

want me to marry Eddy so badly, then I will!”

She would think of it as repayment for her parents raising her for more than 20 years,

But after that…

Caroline abruptly realized that she would have no future after marrying Eddy,

She ducked her head. Her tears were flowing freely down her face now. She shot a look at her

parents, who seemed unmoved, before stumbling out of the house.

If she didn’t leave, she thought she might lose it and commit suicide herself,

Sarah and Dan gave each other a look.

“Darling, in taking this step, did we …”

Sarah stood up and looked outside. “Isn’t the whole point of her life to marry Eddy?”

Even if she died, she would have to die as Eddy’s wife.

Dan let out a heavy sigh. He could say nothing to deny it.
