Chapter 12


    Evan kicked open the door of Room 02.


    Caroline’s bloodied and swollen face trapped beneath a bald person ignited a zing fury within Evan.


    His intense ck eyes exuded a bloodthirsty and ruthless aura, chilling to the bone.


    He marched toward the bald man and effortlessly kicked him aside. Snatching a nearby wine bottle, he


    viciously smashed it against the man’s head.


    His chilling presence, akin to the God of Death descending, silenced everyone present.


    No one dared to intervene as Reuben shattered the surrounding wine bottles and approached Evan


    with a coat.


    Evan turned around and draped his coat over Caroline’s battered body.


    As he wrapped Caroline in his embrace, he noticed tears streaming down her cheeks. His heart


    unconsciously skipped a beat.


    He tightened his embrace,manding Reuben in a cold tone, “Destroy him!”


    Reuben nodded, saying, “With pleasure, Mr. Jordan.”


    Meanwhile, Danie stood at the door in utter disbelief. She watched as Evan carried Caroline past her


    with a cold indifference.


    Her initial shock turned into a mix of reluctance and envy.

    Back at Vi Rosa, upon seeing Caroline drenched in blood and injured, Lily Smith’s legs trembled in


    fear. “Mr. Jordan, Ms. Shenton…”


    “Get a female doctor,” Evan ordered as he carried Caroline upstairs.


    When he arrived at the room, he gentlyid Caroline on the bed, her unconsciousness evident.


    As his gaze fell upon the bloodstains and swollen marks on her face, his eyes brimmed with profound


    ruthlessness.


    Soon, Lily led a female doctor to the room.


    After examining Caroline’s condition, the doctor reassured Evan, saying, “Other than the physical


    injuries, Ms. Shenton appears to be fine.”


    Finally feeling some relief, Evan spoke in a low voice, “Ms. Smith, please escort the doctor out.”


    Lilyplied and guided the doctor to the door.


    Once the door closed, Evan took out his phone and dialed Reuben’s number.


    With narrowed eyes and an icy tone, hemanded, “Retrieve the surveince video from that private


    room immediately and investigate what happened!”


    No one was allowed to harm one of his own!

    When Caroline opened her eyes in exhaustion the next day, Lily entered the room with a bowl of hot


    soup.


    “Ms. Shenton, you’re awake?”


    Caroline’s dry throat prevented her from speaking, so she nodded faintly in response.


    Lily put the bowl of hot soup down and carefully helped Caroline to sit up. “Ms. Shenton, Mr. Jordan


    cares about you deeply. After the doctor left, he stayed with you until almost dawn before returning to


    his room to rest.”


    Soon, memories began flooding back to Caroline. She vaguely recalled Evan carrying her away before


    she lost consciousness. However, his decision to stay with her for the entire night exceeded her


    expectations.


    Despite how touched she was, Caroline quickly suppressed her feelings when she thought of Danie.


    Evan’s kindness toward her might just be a result of their three-year rtionship, nothing more.


    Furthermore, Danie was now the one who held the ce beside him.


    Caroline pushed aside the nket, intending to get out of bed when the bedroom door swung open.


    Evan appeared before her, dressed in dark home attire. Despite its casual nature, his noble and chilly


    aura remained unmistakable.


    He tilted his head to look at Lily. “You may leave us.”


    Consequently, Lily withdrew her hand and stopped assisting Caroline,plying with Evan’s request


    and exiting the room.


    Caroline watched Evan approach, her gratitude unspoken. If only he had answered the call the


    previous night, sparing her humiliation. Still, in the end, he was the one who rescued her.


    “Caroline, you’re quite something, aren’t you?” he remarked, his expression icy.


    Confused, Caroline looked up at him.


    What did he mean by that?


    Evan drew closer, fiercely gripping her chin. “You were willing to use your body to repay the debt! Why?


    Wasn’t what I gave you enough?”


    Caroline furrowed her brows tightly, suppressing the pain as she hoarsely replied, “I never intended to


    use my body to repay the debt. They were the ones…”


    “You know what kind of ce Fies Casino is!” Evan’s fury consumed him, his voice a low roar. “You told


    them you didn’t have the money. Were you hoping they would exempt you from the debt using another


    method?”


    Caroline was taken aback. “I asked for a two-day extensionst night.”

    Evan’s ck eyes turned chillingly cold. “The surveince video captures your conversation clearly!


    Yet, you still deny it in front of me!”


    Caroline locked eyes with him, her gaze firm. “Evan, I have no reason to deny such usations. Stop


    trying to tarnish my name!”


    “Tarnish your name?” Evan dragged her out of bed and brought her to theputer in the study.


    He yed the surveince video provided by Reuben.


    As Caroline watched the scene from the private room, it felt like a nightmare unfolding before her. Her


    body trembled uncontrobly.


    However, her face turned ashen when she realized the part where she asked for the two-day extension


    was missing.


    The remaining dialogue twisted the narrative, portraying Caroline as someone who deliberately sought


    them out, attempting to evade her debt by offering herself to them instead.
