Chapter 116 You Look Like a Mess

“I won’t let you die,” Evan said sternly. “But you need to think about facing the consequences of

cheating on me.”

Evan stood up and walked away without looking back.

Caroline closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. She was feeling hopeless.

He had never trusted her–it had always been that way.

Two weeks later, Evan hired a lawyer to defend Caroline. The court sentenced her to five years of

imprisonment for killing Nicholas, claiming it was in self–defense against his multiple murder

attempts.

On the afternoon of her sentencing, Daniella came to see Caroline. They sat across from each other,

separated by glass.

Unable to contain her laughter, Daniella mocked Caroline’s disheveled state. “You look like a mess.

Caroline glared at her. “Aren’t you worried they’ll come for you at night, Daniella?”

Unfazed, Daniella replied calmly, “What does it matter? I’m delighted to see you in prison! Oh, and

here’s something you didn’t know. I had your hair tested against Neil’s. Turns out, you’re the

missing child of the Xanders. You had a good life, but it’s a shame you crossed paths with me.”

Caroline was stunned, asking shakily, “What did you say?”

Daniella reveled in Caroline’s distress with a maniacal laugh. “Relax, I’m not done yet. Remember

how you forgot about saving Evan and lost your memories? Well, lucky for you, I remember how

you saved him all those years ago!”

Caroline felt dejected, shaken by Daniella’s menacing expression.

Learning that she had saved Evan all along left her feeling overwhelmed.

Daniella was the substitute who plotted to get near Evan!

Caroline leered at Daniella. “Aren’t you worried that I’ll tell them the truth after I get out of prison?”

Daniella said, “Do you think they will believe a murderer’s words? I wouldn’t have told you if I

were worried that you’d tell others,

“Also, Evan loathes you now. I overheard him telling the prison guards to take good care of you. I’m

really curious about how they are going to take care of you! Caroline, you will join your mother

“Daniella!” Caroline pounded at the glass, her eyes bloodshot.

She looked at Daniella with killing intent and shouted, “I won’t ever let you off! I will return everything

you’ve done to me a hundredfold!”

The prison guards hastily approached to subdue Caroline.

She resisted with all her might, but her effort was futile. She was heartbroken by the sight of Daniella’s

innocent smile.

‘Daniella will pay for what she did!‘ she swore inwardly.

Five months later, at Villa Rosa.

Reuben headed to the study in a rush. He opened the door and made his way to Evan, whose

expression was solemn. “Mr. Jordan, we found the orphanage’s director!”

Evan frowned. “Where is the director?”

“He just returned from his trip abroad and is in Angelbay now,” Reuben replied.

Evan stood up, put on his coat, and walked out of the study.

Half an hour later, Evan met the director at Cloud Cafe, who had disappeared for six months.

He approached the aged director and greeted, “Ms. Gull.”

Gloria Gull scrutinized him. “Are you the person that I’m meeting?”

Evan sat down. “Yes, I’ve been looking for you for six months.” Gavin heaved a sigh. “I would have died

abroad if I wasn’t lucky…
