Chapter 9
Chapter 9 Unpresentable
At eight o’clock in the evening, Caroline sent the updated schedule to Evan before leaving the office.
As she stepped out, she noticed Reuben waiting by the car.
Seeing Caroline, Reuben approached her and said, “Mr. Jordan asked me to send you back to rest.”
Caroline declined, “No need. I’ll go home on my own.”
Reuben hesitated before continuing, “Ms. Shenton, there’s something I’m not sure I should tell you.”
Caroline looked up, her voice weak as she replied, “Go ahead.”
“Mr. Jordan knows that you’re sick, so he specially hired an attendant to take care of you, and that
person is already waiting at Vi Rosa.”
Caroline furrowed her brow. What was his intention?
Did he want to be with Danie while continuing their rtionship?
Caroline sneered inwardly. She would never stoop so low as to agree to share a husband with another
woman!
Just as she was about to refuse again, Reuben lowered his voice and added, “Ms. Shenton, Ms. Love’s
identity has not been confirmed yet. Are you sure you don’t want to fight for yourself?”
Caroline let out a bitterugh. “Reuben, in this day and age, money holds more importance than
rtionships.”
After saying this, Caroline walked around Reuben and left.
Sighing, Reuben got into the car. He nced at his superior sitting behind him and reported, “Mr.
Jordan, Ms. Shenton is unwilling to go back.”
Evan pursed his lips tightly and spoke solemnly, “Then there’s no need for her to go back! Tomorrow,
throw out all her belongings and make sure she disappears as far away as possible!”
Reuben replied, “Yes…” with a heavy heart.

The next day arrived.
Caroline was awakened by a knock on the door. She got up, went to open it, and found Reuben
standing there with tworge cardboard boxes.
Caroline understood what was inside. She looked down for a moment, then silently moved the boxes
inside.
Once that was done, Caroline stood upright and said in an indifferent tone, “Thank you, Reuben. I don’t
have any food or snacks to offer you, so I won’t keep you.”
Reuben opened his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, Caroline closed the door
mercilessly.
When he returned to Vi Rosa, Reuben informed Evan, who was drinking coffee on the sofa, “Mr.
Jordan, Ms. Shenton’s belongings have been sent back.”
Evan did not say anything. He put down his coffee and continued flipping through the contract in his
hands.
Reuben couldn’t help but speak up, “Mr. Jordan, about where Ms. Shenton lives…”
Before he could finish, Evan’s phone suddenly rang.
Evan put the phone on speaker, and Danie’s lightughter filled the room. “Evan, let’s skip going out
for lunch today. I’ve prepared something delicious for you.”
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
Evan’s expression softened. “What delicious food did you make?”
Hearing their conversation, Reuben couldn’t help but feel that it was a good thing Ms. Shenton didn’t
return.
After ending the call, Evan nced at Reuben. “How’s the investigation on Danie going?”
Reuben replied, “I’ve already contacted Danie’s adoptive parents. We should receive news soon.”
Evan narrowed his eyes. Although Danie could recall the past events, her personality now seemed
completely different from what he remembered.
He wanted to uncover what had happened to her all these years.

The moment Caroline entered her office, she looked through the ss separating her office and Evan’s
office, and noticed Danie sitting in Evan’s office.
Just then, Danie happened to look up and saw Caroline.
A smile appeared in her eyes as she picked up the thermos lunch box on the table in front of her and
approached Caroline’s office.
“Ms. Shenton, this is for you.”
Caroline’s gazended on the lunch box, she calmly replied, “Thank you, Ms. Love, but I’ve already
eaten.”
Ignoring Caroline’s response, Danie proceeded to ce the lunch box on the desk.
Then, she sat down in front of Caroline, her eyes focusing on Caroline’s earlobe. “What a coincidence.
We both have a red mole on our earlobes.”
Caroline remained silent, understanding the implication behind Danie’s words.
Resting her chin on her hands, Danie smiled sweetly. “Ms. Shenton, since I just got together with
Evan, I’m not quite familiar with his preferences. Could you share some insights with me?”
Caroline was in the midst of organizing some documents. Hearing that, she paused briefly and said,
“Why don’t you ask him yourself?”
Danie expressed a hint of regret. “Oh, what a shame. I wanted to surprise him and get to know him
better.”
Caroline stood up straight and looked directly at Danie. “I’m sorry, but I have no interest in whatever
it is that is going on between the two of you.”
After saying that, Caroline nced at her watch and offered a reminder, “Ms. Love, considering that
you were personally recruited and promoted by Mr. Jordan, I suggest you work diligently to prevent
other employees from gossiping about Mr. Jordan.”
Danie’s smile froze, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.
How dare Caroline use Evan to pressure her?!
She took a deep breath and slowly stood up. “Ms. Shenton, I hope you remember this—fakes will never
be presentable, as they will never, ever measure up!”
With that, Danie mmed the door and left.

In the evening.
Caroline hurried to the hospital after work.
By chance, she spotted Scott standing by her mother’s ward’s entrance, engaged in conversation with
a nurse.
Caroline approached him and nodded lightly. Just as she was about to enter the ward, Scott stopped
her.
“Caroline, your mother just fell asleep afterst night’s chemotherapy. It’s best not to disturb her right
now.”
Upon hearing this, Caroline decided to inquire about her mother’s condition instead. “Considering it’s
the fifth stage of chemotherapy, how is my mother doing?”
Scott offered reassurance. “Try not to worry too much. The surgery was performed early, so the
recovery has been better than expected.”
Caroline sighed with relief. “Regarding the funds I transferred earlier, is there enough to cover the
expenses?”
Scott looked puzzled. “Didn’t you deposit an additional 140,000 dors just yesterday?”
