Scott followed Caroline’s gaze and immediately understood who

had transpired. He spoke softly,”

Caroline pondered for a moment before replying, “No, it’s fine. I’ll be done after saying hello to him.

She had no interest in drama.

She couldn’t fathom why he was here now. Nonetheless, she deemed it appropriate to

acknowledge him since he had previously come to her rescue.

Scoff nodded and patiently waited as she made her way toward the Maybach.

As Caroline approached the car, Evan rolled down the window, revealing his stern, handsome face.

Maintaining a cold and courteous tone, she greeted him, ‘Happy New Year, Evan.”

Addressing him formally created an immediate distance between them.

He returned her gaze coldly and commanded, “Get in.”

Refusing his demand, she asserted, “My friend is waiting for me. I’ll go after saying hello to you.

“Don’t make me repeat myself!” Evan’s tone left little room for defiance.

Caroline scoffed. Who did he think he was, ordering her around so late at night?

“Evan, I am no longer your subordinate. I don’t have to obey your orders,” she declared firmly,

turning to leave.

However, the moment she turned away, a flicker of coldness crossed his face.

In an instant, he flung the door open and grabbed her arm.

Caught off guard, she instinctively pulled away, her guard up as she stared at the man before her.

“Evan! You have a wife, so please show me some respect!”

I already told you, I didn’t sign the agreement,” he snarled at her.

Caroline smiled. “Evan, only assholes would want to cheat on their wives. Are you trying to be

one?!”

Reuben’s heart raced as he listened. Ms. Shenton was the first person to call Evan Jordan an

asshole!

Evan was instantly enraged “Are you sick of living, Caroline?”

“No, it’s just a friendly reminder that you shouldn’t be clinging onto a woman so late at night. I

don’t want you to blame me when Daniella comes looking for trouble!” she retorted.

Then why did you walk over here?!‘ he asked angrily.

She smiled “Don’t you know what it means to be courteous, Evan?”

“Caroline!” Evan glanced at her and peered at Scott, who stood at the entrance. “You don’t dare

come with me because of him, am’l right?”

“That’s not it!” She fought back. “Evan, I’m grateful that you saved me. That’s why I thought it made

sense to say hello when I saw you. But we need to set boundaries now. 1

“We should have done so when Daniella appeared, and even more so now. If we had approached this

reasonably, and if it weren’t for your interference, she wouldn’t have targeted my mom! Meanwhile, you

offer her all your protection and trust! I’m done talking. I wish you everlasting.

love with that evil woman, Evan!”

Fuck trust, she no longer wanted that!

She vowed to never fall for a foolish man again.

There had been a glimmer of hope within her before, but it all shattered when she witnessed him.

protect Daniella that night. No matter how filthy she was, Daniella was still the love of his life!

In contrast, Caroline felt like nothing more than a disposable pawn in his game.

Coldness and determination filled Caroline’s eyes as she made her decision. She walked away,

ascending the stairs with Scott.

Evan watched them depart, looking utterly miserable.

Inside the elevator, Scott glanced at her, his concern evident as he noticed her tear–stained face.

He asked, “I suppose it’s difficult to let go?”

Sniffling, she replied, “I have to, no matter how hard it is. I refuse to hold a person in my heart who

doesn’t trust me.”

Observing her pale complexion, he sighed quietly under his breath.

At 1 a.m., Caroline bid Scott and Paige farewell. As she arrived home, she heard a sudden knock on

the door. Assuming it was Paige who had forgotten something, she opened the door without a

second thought. “Why did you come back…”

Her words trailed off as she stared icily at the uninvited guest. “Is Evan here?!” Daniella demanded,

her face filled with grim determination.

Caroline retorted, “Why have you come to my home if you can’t replace your man?”

Pushing Caroline aside, Daniella glanced around the living room before checking the bedroom. Only

when she didn’t replace Evan did she emerge from the room

She issued a venomous warning. “If you dare to covet him, I’ll make sure…”

Before she could finish, Caroline slapped her.

Daniella glared at her furiously, so Caroline slapped her on the other cheek

“What makes you think you have the right to come into my house?” Caroline stepped closer to her.

“Are you causing trouble with me simply because you can’t control your

man?”

Daniella covered her cheeks, yelling fiercely, “Are you out of your mind, Caroline?!”

Caroline scoffed. “Yes, I am out of my mind. Do you think I’ve forgotten how my mother died?”

“What does that have to do with me? Weren’t you the one who drove your mother to death by being a

mistress? I was merely speaking the truth” Daniella’s ferocity intensified as she stared at Caroline with

bloodshot eyes, as if trying to pierce through her.

“The truth?” Caroline narrowed her eyes. “Perhaps I should replace the time to tell Evan the truth as well.”
