    Chapter 76 She Doesn’t Look Like Mom.


    As they arrived at Redwood Neighborhood, Neil took the opportunity to express his viewpoint to


    Caroline before she exited the car. “Caroline, I still stand by what I said.”


    Caroline was taken aback for a moment, but then she smiled and replied, “Fine. Just don’t forget


    about what you promised me.”


    Once she stepped out of the car, Caroline made her way into the neighborhood. As she descended


    the stairs near her house, she spotted Evan standing before the building.


    Confusion washed over her. “Didn’t Neil’s grandfather ask him to stay back for a chat about the


    past? Why is he here?”


    Trying to avoid eye contact, Caroline instinctively thought about turning back. However, she


    couldn’t escape his cold, deep voice


    “Caroline!” Caroline tightly clenched her fists and took a deep breath. Forget it. There’s always a


    solution to a problem.”


    Summoning her courage, Caroline approached Evan. She looked up and asked with a distant tone,


    Evan, you’re such a busy guy, yet you’vee here to wait for me. Is there something urgent you


    need?”


    “Why do you always speak to me with such sarcasm?” Evan fixed his cold gaze on her.


    Caroline grumbled, “What did you expect? Should I go back to being submissive as I was before?


    Or should I continue to fawn over you?”


    “Caroline!” Evan’s face darkened as he adopted a harsher tone. “Neil isn’t the right guy for you. Master


    Xander values social status above all else. Do you think being with Neil will bring you any


    benefits?”


    “What does it have anything to do with you?” Caroline cracked a sneer.


    “Are you nning to do ‘those things to me again just to break up my rtionship? Do you want


    everyone to know that I’m still your mistress? Evan, you have a fiancée. Please, don’te and


    hurt me again!”


    Caroline’s words sessfully provoked his anger.


    “Caroline, do you have any conscience?” Evan gritted his teeth. “Did I hurt you or save you?”


    “Am I supposed to be your mistress for the rest of my life just because you saved me?” Deep anger


    surged within her, forcing her to shout at Evan.


    Evan was taken aback. After a moment, he softened his tone.

    “Neil can’t protect you. He won’t get any shares without Master Xander’s approval.”


    Caroline scoffed mockingly. “I don’t believe you can protect me either.”


    With that, she pushed past him, clearing the way to the elevator, and walked toward it with


    determination.


    Watching her resolute figure retreating, Evan slowly tightened his fists.


    At the Xander Residence, after Neil arrived home, he noticed his grandfather engaged in a lively.


    conversation with Danie.


    Danie was peeling an orange for Grayson. “Master Xander, you must be joking. I don’t resemble


    Mr. Xander’s mother, of course.”


    Grayson dered, “Even though I’m old, my eyesight is still sharp.”


    Danie responded, “Thank you for thepliment, but I don’t consider myself that fortunate.”


    Grayson let out a sigh. If my daughter hadn’t passed away so early, she would have recognized


    you instantly.” 1

    approached his grandfather, speaking firmly.


    “Grandpa, she doesn’t look like Mom.”


    “Don’t tell me that mistress looks like her.” Grayson red at Neil. “Don’t be fooled by that vixen’s.


    face!”


    Hearing that, Danie’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction.


    She relished it when people scolded Caroline, and gaining Grayson’s approval only added to her


    delight.


    If she could secure the support of the Xander family, her position as Mrs. Jordan would be more


    solidified. After all, she had heard that Evan’s father, Draco Jordan, had a good rtionship


    with Grayson.


    Neil shot Danie a cold gaze. He couldn’t see any resemnce between Danie and his mother.


    So what if she had a red cinnabar mole on her earlobe? That didn’t mean anything.


    However, Neil failed to convince Grayson and could only head upstairs.


    “Neil!” Grayson called out, stopping him. “Give E a ride home.”


    A crease formed between Neil’s brows.

    “She’s Mr. Jordan’s fiancee, I should maintain a distance from her.”


    Observing this, Danie quickly chimed in. “Master Xander, I can go home by myself. Let’s not


    inconvenience Mr. Xander.” (”


    Grayson said, “Dear child, you don’t have to be so considerate.”


    With that said, he looked at Neil with displeasure. “Do as I told!”


    Neil clenched his fists. After a brief pause, he relented. “Ms. Love, pleasee with me.”


    ”


    Danie promptly got up. “Master Xander, I’ll take my leave now. It’s your birthday today. Please don’t


    be upset.


    Grayson smiled with satisfaction. “Go home, child. Come and visit me tomorrow.”


    Danie agreed before she turned and left with Neil.


    Neil drove Danie to a ce where it was easier to hail a cab before he stopped the car.


    I have some personal matters to attend to. Take a cab and go home.”


    Upon hearing this, Danie’s expression stiffened, but she nodded to maintain her good image.


    “Thank you, Mr. Xander.”


    After Danie exited the car, Neil stepped on the gas pedal and drove off.


    As Danie stood there, the car’s exhaust causing her eyes to sting, her gaze turned scarlet.


    ‘Why does Caroline receive special attention from Neil? Master Xander approves of me, yet Neil dares


    to kick me out of the car in the middle of the road. And Evan! Does he even care about his


    pregnant fiancée?”


    Danie hailed a cab to return to Vi Rosa,


    Not spotting Evan’s car, she entered the vi gloomily.
