    Despite her envy, Danie she maintained her gentle and virtuous demeanor in front of everyone.


    A few hourster, they returned to Angelbay City. This time, Evan didn’t ask Reuben to give Caroline a


    ride back to Vi Rosa. Instead, they went to thepany together.


    Upon stepping back into the office that she hadn’t seen in so long, Caroline was taken aback by the


    sight of the missing ss wall that once separated her office from the president’s office. Now, it was


    transformed into a shared space. Her excitement about returning to thepany instantly


    shattered


    ‘Does he intend to monitor my every move and word?‘


    A surge of anger ignited within her, and she stormed towards Evan, who was seated at his desk.


    Don’t you think you’re crossing the line here?”


    Evan looked up calmly. “Are you upset?”


    “Upset? How dare he ask me that? Would he ept being monitored in the same way?‘


    Caroline gritted her teeth. “I don’t feel like working right now. I want to leave.”


    Evan’s handsome face sank. “Are you nning to run off and schedule with Doctor Wilson the


    perfect time to meet him when I’m not around?”


    She stared at him wide–eyed and asked, “Can you stop being so unreasonable?”


    Evan found her reaction amusing and thought inwardly, “Lately, she has been showing her emotions


    openly in front of me. She’s more intriguing when she’s irritable rather than maintaining her distant


    facade.‘


    Evan picked up a document on the desk and tossed it to her. “Instead of spouting nonsense, you


    better focus on this task.”


    Her anger was abruptly interrupted, and she stared at the document for a moment before. reluctantly


    beginning to work on it.


    At five o’clock in the evening, Danie popped into Evan’s office.


    Her face turned grim when she realized that Caroline and Evan’s offices had been merged.


    Coincidentally, Evan was absent. Always the opportunist, Danie approached Caroline.


    *Caroline, I must say, I’m impressed,” Danie mocked.


    Caroline looked up at her icily. “You tter me.”

    Infuriated, Danie’s face reddened. “Do you really believe you can win his heart? Don’t forget, he was


    the one who stayed by my side when I fell ill!”


    Caroline nodded thoughtfully. “Oh, if you were so affectionate with him, why did he rush to my aid when


    I needed help?”


    Danie’s anger red up at the mention of that incident.


    “Cut the act. What will it take for you to leave him?”


    With a sneer, Caroline stood up and approached Danie. “Let’s get this straight. He’s the one who


    refuses to let me go. And why are you so proactive? Are you attracted to his handsome appearance or


    his high social status?”


    With each sentence Caroline spoke, she took a step closer to Danie. 1


    Danie was forced to retreat, panic flickering across her delicate face. “Nonsense! I just have a


    crush on him.”


    Carolineughed coldly. “Really? I’m quite curious how you always know exactly when he will appear at


    thepany. And why do you always happen to be downstairs at the perfect time to meet him?


    Everything just seems a little too coincidental. I don’t mind if you want to pursue him, but please


    remember one thing: Don’t keep provoking me! You’re not even his wife yet. What right do you have to


    boss me around?”


    Being retorted, Danie’s charming face became hideous.


    As Danie prepared to respond, the door suddenly opened, causing her to stumble and end up sitting


    on the floor, tearfully and pitifully eximing, “Ms. Shenton, I only want to repay Evan’s kindness. Why


    are you scolding me?”


    When Caroline saw Danie’s pretentious pitiable state, she knew Evan had returned.


    She stood calmly, observing the man as he entered the office.


    Evan nced at Caroline before reaching out to help Danie up. Frustration seeped into his


    voice, albeit subtly.


    “You should go home first.”


    Shock enveloped Danie. “Evan, I…”


    “Go home!” He didn’t give her a chance to refuse.


    Danie burst into tears and hastily fled the room.


    Once the door closed, Caroline inquired, “Why aren’t you ming me for mistreating your first

    Evan red at her, then loosened his tie. “I know what you’re trying to do.”


    Amused, Caroline retorted, “And what, pray tell, am I trying to do?”


    Evan narrowed his cold eyes and approached, pinching her chin. “You’re simply trying to disgust me so


    that I’ll drive you out of Vi Rosa. And then, you’ll be free to escape to distantnds with Doctor


    Wilson, am I right?”


    Caroline was at a loss for words.


    ‘Why is he entertaining such wild thoughts?”


    She felt a dull pain in her chin, prompting her to pull away without denying his words. 1


    “In that case, I’ll continue tormenting Danie every time I see her, just as you suggested.”


    “Caroline!” Evan roared, his breath heavy.


    His eyes burned with anger, as if he wanted to tear her apart. “How many times do you think you


    can bully her?”


    Caroline was taken aback. “What do you mean?”


    Evan withdrew his hand. “She saved my life, so I’ll do everything in my power to repay her.


    “If you wish to avoid severe consequences in the future, you’d better stop tormenting her.”
