    Chapter 49 I Refuse to Be a Homewrecker


    As she pulled the suitcases out the door, a sleek Maybach pulled up in front. Evan who sitting. inside


    the car, caught sight of Caroline standing at the entrance with her luggage.


    Stepping out of the vehicle, he approached Caroline with a gloomy expression and inquired, “What are


    you doing?”


    Caroline responded with an expressionless face, “Evan, please carefully consider my words, now that


    you’ve made up your mind.


    –


    ncing at her suitcases, he sneered, “You want me to consider letting you go?”


    Caroline lifted her gaze and spoke calmly but aloofly, “Yes.”


    His demeanor grew somber. “Are you that eager to be with Doctor Wilson?”


    To prevent him from angrily kicking her suitcases, she deliberately ced them behind her.


    “Evan, I have no control over your thoughts. As I’ve mentioned before, I refuse to be a homewrecker.


    Even though it’ll be a monthter before you get officially engaged, I no longer wish to be your


    mistress.”


    Her statement caused an instant chill in the air. “How do you know I’m getting engaged in a


    month?”


    Caroline sneered, “Did you already forget what you said? Should I remind you of the time and


    ce?”


    Her sarcastic words stung both of them, casting a shadow of gloom over Evan.


    She exposed her true emotions to other men, whereas she had always remained aloof and distant


    in his presence, which fueled his anger.


    He felt that he had spoiled her to the point where she had the audacity to retort. Irritated, he took


    a step toward Caroline. “Do you want to terminate the contract? Caroline, can you afford to do so?”


    Caroline replied, “I can’t, but L..”


    “Caroline!” Evan interrupted her coldly. “It’s the final month. The contract will end then!”


    His tone was icy, leaving no room for her to refuse


    A month wasn’t a particrly long or short period of time. However, she couldn’t disobey her


    mother’s dying wish. “Evan, I believe I can bear the consequences.”


    After a brief moment of silence, he snorted gloomily, crushing any hope that she might have had.

    “So, you’re not nning to take any action against the person who killed your mother, are you?”


    Caroline clenched her teeth as she thought, ‘Is that how he sees it? I have no evidence. What’s


    more, he’s going to get engaged to my mother’s murderer and protect her! I’ll lose if I take her head.


    -on.”


    But his words seemed to carry an underlying meaning.


    Caroline sighed inwardly before cautiously asking. “Evan, what do you mean?”


    He red at her coldly. “If you can’t figure it out, go inside and eat. You can ponder it after you’re


    full.”


    It was thest chance he was giving her.


    She understood his unspoken message, even without him exining it.


    As long as she remained obedient, he would deal with the culprit.


    Caroline’s curiosity was piqued. What would he do if he discovered it was Danie?


    Perhaps he would find an excuse to dy any action against her and disregard Danie’s deeds.


    Pursing her lips, she inquired, “And if I insist on leaving?”


    In response to her question, he closed the distance between them and abruptly grasped her chin. Well,


    then I’ll make your cherished Doctor Wilson vanish from Angelbay City tonight!*


    “Evan! Why are you always trying to involve innocent people?” Caroline red at him.


    She screamed inwardly, ‘Doctor Wilson! He always brings up Doctor Wilson! There’s nothing between


    Doctor Wilson and me. Why does he keep mentioning Doctor Wilson?‘


    “You guys aren’t innocent.” he retorted before turning and walking toward the vi.


    Before entering, he added, “Think it through.”


    Caroline seethed with anger, yet she felt utterly helpless against him.


    She knew Evan was a man of his word.


    After Danie received a call in the hospital, she nearly destroyed everything in her ward.


    It was the first time her fake foster parents had witnessed her in such a rage, causing them to


    retreat to a corner and remain silent.


    Danie red fiercely at the bandages around her wrist.


    She had endured the pain in exchange for Evan’s sympathy. She had even gone to great lengths to


    Her intention was to show Caroline that she had gained Evan’s trust.

    However, she hadn’t anticipated that Caroline was pregnant with Evan’s child.


    Was that the reason Evan hadn’t insisted on Caroline leaving? Had he learned of her pregnancy?


    It seemed that she had to find a chance to sound him out.


    If…


    If she were to carry Evan’s child…


    Caroline’s child would not be as precious as hers.


    Danie pondered the idea for a while, then suddenly recalled something


    She sent a text to Nic. [Nic, I miss you. When are youing to see me?]


    Caroline received an email in the afternoon a few dayster. She had passed the preliminary


    round of the online fashionpetition.


    However, the excitement she once felt about being selected had waned. In the past, she had pursued


    her dreams for the sake of her mother and children. Now, she did it for her children alone.


    ncing at the time for the second round of thepetition, she closed the email without much


    enthusiasm.


    Suddenly, her phone rang beside her.


    Upon seeing that it was Paige calling, she answered.


    “Carol,e down here immediately. Something’s wrong!” Paige’s voice was filled with


    nervousness.


    Caroline maintained herposure as she inquired, “What’s the matter?”


    Paige exined in a hurried tone, “Your father is downstairs, just outside thepany. Hurry up and


    make him leave before he causes a scene.”


    Furrowing her brow, Caroline thought, ‘It’s only the tenth, and they’ve already released him.”


    “Got it. I’ll be there shortly.” With that, she ended the call and made her way downstairs.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
