    Chapter 30 Promise Not to Get Too Worked Up


    He had finally arrived.


    A chilling intensity filled his eyes as he looked at Caroline, who was crouched on the floor.


    He directed a deadly re at Mark. “Well, Mark, impressive, aren’t you? How dare you kidnap my


    woman?”


    Mark quickly stood up, seeking refuge behind his secretaries, visibly trembling. “Uncle… Uncle Evan!”


    Evan approached him with a few swift steps, narrowing his eyes as he questioned, “So, you finally


    acknowledge that I’m your uncle, huh?”


    Mark’s fear was palpable as he swallowed nervously.


    In a sudden realization, Mark nced at Caroline. “Uncle Evan, I did arrange for someone to bring her


    here, but it was for your sake! You have no idea what I discovered earlier. She has ulterior motives


    against you. She despises you to the extent that she wants to poison you. You must trust


    me!”


    Evan nced at Caroline, who stoodposedly at the side, and smirked. “Well, since you’ve been so


    considerate, I suppose I should show you some appreciation”


    Turning to his bodyguards, hemanded. “Take care of it.”


    Amidst Mark’s pitiful wails, Evan held Caroline’s hand and left the warehouse.


    Once inside the car, Evan taunted her, “You certainly know how to use your charms.”


    Caroline was taken aback, and her gratitude instantly vanished. She took a deep breath in secret and


    retorted, “Mr. Jordan, I should thank you for providing me with such an opportunity.”


    If he hadn’t taken her to the subsidiarypany to fire those employees, she wouldn’t have offended


    those people. She wouldn’t have needed to suppress her disgust and curry favor with


    Mark.


    In the driver’s seat, Reuben grew anxious. Caroline seemed to be the only one brave enough to stand


    up to Evan so bluntly.


    Frowning, Evan looked displeased as he nced at Caroline.


    Was she ming him?


    “If I hadn’te, would you have


    Whim tonight?” he asked gloomily.


    “What else could I do?” Caroline responded in turn. Should I have stayed there and let myself get

    Evan’s expression turned somber. He sounded slightly angry. “Caroline, can’t you survive without.


    relying on men?”


    Caroline grumbled in reply, “What does it matter since you’ve always seen me as that kind of


    woman anyway?”


    Was there any need for her to provide further exnations?


    Any sensible person could see through her plot to free herself from Mark, but Evan chose to


    believe she loved using her charms to survive. It didn’t concern her much, as it wasn’t the first


    time he had misunderstood her.


    Lost in her thoughts, she was suddenly taken aback as he fiercely grabbed her wrist.


    Instinctively, she turned around, attempting to free her hand from his grasp. However, he showed


    no intention of letting go.


    “Don’t you remember what I said?” His eyes burned with anger. “So, now that you have money..


    you’re full of yourself?”


    Confusion washed over her. What did money have to do with their current situation?


    Suppressing the pain, she stubbornly spoke up. “So what if that’s the case? Evan Jordan, I’m tired


    of being your mistress! Now that you’ve found your beloved woman, why won’t you let me leave?


    Why are you forcing me to be a home wrecker?”


    “Isn’t that what you want?” Evan tightened his grip on her wrist. “Don’t you enjoy unting


    yourself in front of Danie?”


    She was dumbfounded. Why was he being so unreasonable?


    She simply didn’t want to be criticized and bullied by Danie. What in the world made him think


    that she enjoyed unting herself?


    Letting out a coldugh, her gaze filled with disappointment. “Evan, I’ve been with you for three


    years, yet you never truly knew me.‘


    As he detected the sarcasm in her words, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.


    But after a moment, he scoffed. ‘I don’t have to know you. After all, you’re willing to do anything


    for the sake of money!”


    In that instant, a wave of heart–wrenching pain engulfed her.

    Well, it was true indeed. She had no right to deny that.


    She had willingly agreed to be his mistress back then for the sake of money.

    Suddenly, she felt relieved that she hadn’t revealed to him that she was pregnant with his child.


    Otherwise, he would use her of being a scheming and maniptive woman who did anything


    and everything to usurp another woman’s position.


    After returning to the hotel, Evan escorted her to his room. Two bodyguards stood outside, reaffirming


    that she was being monitored once again.


    A message from Paige popped up on her phone. [Caroline, where are you? Mr. Jordan had someone


    take all your belongings away just now.]


    ncing at her luggage before her, Caroline let out a bitter smile. [I’m in the presidential suite.]


    [Be careful, Carol. Sorry I can’t help you.]


    Just as she was about to reply to Paige’s message, a notification from Scott appeared.


    [Caroline, is your leg healed?]


    She nced toward the bathroom, realizing that Evan was still inside. Hastily, she replied to the


    message. [Dr. Wilson, thank you. It’s almost healed.]


    While she hadn’t actually consulted a doctor for her leg injury, the medicine Lily had given her proved to


    be highly effective.


    She knew that it was Evan who had arranged for the medicine to be delivered. However, no matter


    how kind he was to her, she couldn’t bring herself to express gratitude, considering the extent of his


    monitoring.


    Lost in thought, another message from Scott arrived


    [I have something to tell you, but you must promise not to get too worked up.]
