Chapter846ThisIsNotVainbutConfident


    Evan arrived at Vi Rosa by dusk, picking up Caroline and the children before heading to Grand


    Angelbay Hotel.


    They reached the hotel’s entrance half an hourter, Evan carried Liora while Caroline held Tyler and


    Axel’s hands as they took the elevator to the private room.


    Thomas, Greta, and Yuliana were already waiting there. Upon their arrival, Thomas and Greta eagerly


    approached Caroline, Evan, and the children.


    “You’re finally here. Come and give me a hug,” Greta eximed with a wide smile as she looked at the


    children.


    “Aunt Greta, Uncle Thomas,” Caroline greeted them. She instructed the children, “Say hi to Granduncle


    Tom and Grandaunt Greta, my darlings.”


    The children followed Caroline’s lead.


    Greta took their hands and led them to unwrap their presents.


    Thomas extended his hand to Evan, saying, “It’s been a long time since west met, Mr. Jordan.”


    Evan shook his hand courteously. “No need to be so formal. Just call me by my name.”


    Thomas smiled, then turned to Yuliana, who was still seated. “Yulia,e and say hi to Evan.”


    Yuliana blushed, stood up awkwardly, and scrutinized Evan in secret. She approached Evan and


    Caroline with rigid movements, keeping her head lowered.


    “Evan,” she called out softly, then looked at Caroline and greeted awkwardly, “Hello, cousin Caroline.”Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Caroline was surprised. ‘Why is Yuliana greeting me proactively today?”


    Despite the awkwardness in Yuliana’s manner, Caroline was pleased that Yuliana did not use offensive


    language as she had in the past.


    Caroline smiled and asked, “Yulia, is my brother here?”


    Yuliana replied, “I think he’s on his way. He’s been busy with worktely.”


    Caroline nodded, ncing at Thomas and Evan, who stood silently by the side. “Shall we take a seat?”


    Evan nodded, and both he and Thomas gestured to each other to sit down.


    Softly, Yuliana told Caroline before joining the crowd, “Frankly, I don’t know what he sees in you. Why


    Caroline couldn’t help but smile. ‘So, the friendliness earlier was just for show?‘


    Caroline smiled faintly. “What do you consider outstanding? Is it a graduate from an elite university,


    good etiquette, or being skilled at making money?”


    Yuliana sneered. “All. Evan has all these good qualities!”


    “If a person with all three traits is outstanding, then am I not considered one too?” Caroline asked


    nonchntly.


    Yuliana was stunned. She frowned and said contemptuously, “I’ve met plenty of vain people, but none


    as vain as you!”


    Caroline corrected, “This is not considered vain but confident.”


    Caroline walked away without allowing Yuliana to talk back and sat down next to Evan.


    Yuliana wanted to approach, but Greta said, “Come here, Yulia.”


    Yuliana was displeased as she walked over to Greta.


    Greta pulled Yuliana’s hand and scolded softly, “You said something unpleasant to Carol earlier, right?”


    Yuliana admitted, “Yes! I don’t think she’s a worthy match for Evan!”


    Greta was exasperated. “If Caroline isn’t a worthy match, are you? She’s your cousin. Why do you


    always have to be so hostile to her?”


    “It’s because I have feelings for Evan! I don’t think any woman, including me, makes a worthy match for


    him!” Yuliana dered.


    Greta red at her. “If Caroline is no good, would someone like Evan take an interest in her? He loves


    Carol, so there must be something about her that he’s attracted to. How about you then? What do you


    have?”
