Chapter 42


    Chapter 42 Let’s Not Trouble Her


    Caroline was reluctantly dragged over to Evan, all the while feeling lost and bewildered


    She overheard Alex’s words to Danie. ‘Ms. Love, it’s better to let Ms. Shenton handle this


    difficult task.”


    Caroline couldn’tprehend why she had to be the one to undertake such an thankless


    responsibility.


    She nced at Evan, who was now unconscious and drunk after a mere half–hour of drinking. She


    was secretly rmed.


    How much had they made him drink?


    Danie was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Alex to bring Caroline into the picture.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Suppressing the upset feelings, she forced a smile “Mr. Price, allow me to take care of Evan. Ms.


    Shenton hasn’t been feeling welltely, so let’s not trouble her.”


    “Ms. Love, there are certain things you should know when Evan drinks. Are you confident that you can


    handle it?” Alex inquired.


    “Of course,” Danie replied confidently..


    Caroline was rendered speechless.


    She couldn’t fathom why Alex insisted on her taking on this role.


    Evan and Danie would inevitably end up together sooner orter.


    Besides, she was merely an outsider.


    Before Alex could continue, she interjected, “Mr. Price! Let Ms. Love handle him. I’m leaving!”


    He furrowed his brow and observed her as she departed. After some contemtion, he followed after


    her.


    “Ms. Shenton, you’re aware that Evan is allergic to goose, right? Ms. Love fed him some. As his


    secretary, I presume you have allergy medication with you. It would be wise to administer it while we


    wait for the doctor.”


    Caroline remained silent.


    Alex continued while she stood there, quiet and pensive. “If you don’t take care of him, then Evan can


    only me himself for being so blind that he chose a secretary who doesn’t care if he dies at all!”

    With that, he left and returned to his seat. 1


    Caroline struggled with her emotions as she stood in ce.


    Should she go?


    If she did not, Evan would undoubtedly suffer. She had witnessed his allergic reactions before, and


    they were frightening.


    However, she did not want to ruin his time with Danie.


    After pondering it over, she decided to give the medicine to Danie and then leave.


    A sly smirk formed on Alex’s face when he saw her hastily departing.


    Lucas, slightly tipsy, leaned on his shoulder. “Why are you trying to get Ms. Shenton involved with


    Evan? Ms. Love looks pretty great, no?”


    Alex pushed him away. “Can’t you see that Evan has been ignoring Ms. Love? As his friend, it’s my


    duty to push someone that he likes toward him.”


    Lucas tutted and said, “You’re such a meddler…”


    In the hotel lobby, Caroline persuaded the front desk to provide her with Danie’s room number.


    Just as the elevator doors opened, she coincidentally saw Danie, who entered the elevator


    before Caroline could call out to her.


    Frowning, Caroline realized that her best option was to go directly to Danie’s room in search of


    Evan


    When she found the room, she pressed the doorbell several times.


    Finally, the door swung open, revealing Evan with an unusually flushed face.


    Without wasting a moment, she rummaged through her bag for the medicine, her eyes fixed on his


    flushedplexion.


    “They told me you ate goose. I’m here to give you the medicine… Ah…”


    Evan grabbed her waist and pulled her into the room before she could finish her sentence.


    He held her tightly, burying his head in her neck.


    His voice was passionate and rough, carrying an unprecedented urgency. “Take off your clothes!”


    Caroline was stunned. How could these symptoms ur if it was an allergy?


    As he delivered a warm and overpowering kiss, she noticed a redness on his neck but no signs of a


    rash.


    In that moment, she realized the truth. 1


    That b*stard Alex had deceived her!

    Danie intended to return to Evan’s hotel room after concluding her phone call.


    However, she suddenly heard soft moans that would make anyone blushing from the room,


    causing her to freeze and furrow her brow.


    Who was it in there?!


    She had only stepped out to speak with Nic on the phone, so who was taking advantage of this


    opportunity?!


    Though she possessed the key card, she hesitated to enter. She believed Evan would be furious if


    she entered without his permission.


    She quickly took the lift down to the front desk and imed she needed to review the security


    camera footage as she had misced something.


    Her hands clenched as she observed Caroline appearing outside the room through the screen.


    She had an intense urge to shatter the screen in front of her.


    She thought tonight’s n would guarantee her sess in bing his girlfriend!


    Who knew that Caroline would suddenly emerge and ruin her scheme!


    Resentment grew within her.


    Since Caroline had acted so shamelessly, she couldn’t be med for executing her own n


    ahead of schedule!


    At 5 a.m., Caroline discreetly exited the room, fully dressed.


    She needed to hurry back to Vi Rosa, as the first draft for thepetition had to be submitted.


    by 8 a m..


    Only two hours remained until the submission deadline. She needed to review her draft onest


    time before sending it out.


    Meanwhile, Danie emerged from the corridor just as Caroline left the room.


    With clenched teeth, she watched Caroline’s departure. Her tired eyes were bloodshot.


    She had considered leavingst night but couldn’t bring herself to do it.


    Instead, she had waited the entire night, hoping to find a way to salvage the situation.


    Her instincts had been correct–Caroline would be the first to leave the room.
