Chapter 22 Who Are You Trying to Seduce?
Who did she intend to reveal her cleavage to? Evan thought sourly.
Caroline was left speechless by Evan’s remark.
She had always worn such gowns in the past, so why was he prohibiting it now?
Unwilling to argue, she changed into a white long gown with a deep back V, hoping it would meet his
approval.
However, Evan’s expression grew even more somber when he saw it.
The most alluring feature of her body was her back, slim and upright with two captivating shoulder
des that never failed to awaken his most primal desires in the bedroom.
Those should be reserved for his eyes only. However, now, she wanted to disy them to the world

he apanied her as they left and got into the car. Once inside, he handed her a shoe box.
Caroline looked at him in shock. “Is this for me?”
Evan nced at her. “If not for you, then for whom? Reuben, perhaps?”
Reuben, who was driving, remained speechless.
Caroline epted the shoe box and opened it, revealing a pair of round–toe silver shoes with low
heels.
Instinctively, she nced at her still–healing ankle and felt a warmth spread through her.
Who knew he had remembered her leg injury.
At the Grand Sunny Hotel, as Evan and Caroline entered the hall, several people approached Evan.
“Mr. Jordan, how are you?”
“Mr. Jordan, I see you’re interested in today’s auction as well!”
With more people surrounding them, Caroline instinctively took a step back.

Though she was ustomed to such situations, things were different now. She was concerned.
about someone identally bumping into her belly.
Releasing her grip on Evan’s arm, she said, “I need to use the restroom.”
Evan nodded, and she walked away.
“Is that Caroline Shenton?”
A group of young women gathered and began gossiping while observing Caroline’s departure.
“Yes, that’s her. I’ve heard she’s quite well–off. She became the principal secretary shortly after joining
MK.”
“Well, officially she’s a secretary, but let’s be real, she’s just a mistress!”
“Yulia, you’ve had a crush on Evan for ages. Why don’t you go and confront that woman?”
After a fewments, the attention shifted to Yuliana Xander, who was sitting among them.
Envy filled Yuliana’s face as she stared at Caroline’s retreating figure.
She had witnessed it herself just moments ago.
Caroline was holding onto Evan’s arm as they entered the hall. Did she consider herself that
important?
Yuliana picked up a ss of wine from the table and stood up. “Let’s go and confront that
shameless woman!” 1
The threedies grew excited and followed Yuliana towards the restroom.
On the other hand, Caroline didn’t really need to use the restroom; she simply desired a quiet and
secluded spot to sit.
However, the moment she stepped out, she collided with a woman who unexpectedly appeared
from a corner.
Instinctively, she shielded her belly and looked at the woman before her in shock. The woman’s gown
was mostly stained with red wine.
The woman still held a ss of wine in her hand.
Thedies next to her shrieked in surprise.
Caroline was prepared to apologize, but the woman’s face contorted with anger as sheshed out,” Are
you f*cking blind?”
Attempting to apologize, Caroline began, “I’m sorry…

mistress.”
Ulia, she’s Caroline. The
Watching their poor acting skills, Caroline graduallyposed herself. They had deliberately
sought her out.
Feeling a surge of anger, Yuliana smashed her ss on the floor. “Pay for my dress!”
Caroline gazed at her coldly. “Fine…”
“What’s that? Can you afford it?”
“Perhaps she can. After all, she has Mr. Jordan on her side.”
“How disgusting! Yuliana, why don’t we tear off her dress since your dress is ruined? That way,
she won’t dare to partake in the auction.”
“Absolutely! She’s probably here to make Evan buy her things anyway. We can’t let her get away
with it!” 1
Coldly staring at those individuals who were throwing baseless usations, Caroline asked, ”
Since you all know that I’m with Mr. Jordan, wouldn’t humiliating me cause humiliation to him as
well?”
Hearing this, Yuliana’s face reddened. “Shut up! You have no right to mention him. I see you’re itching
to be taught a lesson!”
As she raised her hand to p Caroline, she suddenly heard a rebuke.
“Yulia, stop!”
Instantly, Yuliana’s expression changed. Before she could retract her hand, a man arrived and
stood in front of her, his handsome face filled with seriousness.
“Why were you bullying her?”
Deep indignation and reluctance swirled within Yuliana’s heart. “Neil, she’s Caroline! The one who
seduced Evan.”
“Yulia, why would you say such vulgar things?”
After reprimanding Yuliana, he turned his attention to Caroline. However, as he nced at her, his
shocked gaze became fixed on her face.
The woman before him bore a striking resemnce to histe mother.
Caroline, perplexed by his gaze, looked back at him. Suppressing his emotions, he spoke politely, Ms.
Shenton, I apologize for my cousin’s rudeness.”

you ever need assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Consider it my apology.
Caroline examined the business card in her hand.

City.
Both the Xander and Jordan families were close friends and business partners. The patriarchs of
the two families had shared a strong friendship as well.
Caroline had heard about Neil during her years of working for Evan, but they had never met.
Unexpectedly, he was so friendly.
