Chapter866You’reTreatedUnfairly


    Yuliana assisted Caroline in lifting the hem of her gown as they descended the stairs together.


    Upon reaching the bottom, Greta eagerly stood up, her eyes welling with tears. “Come, Carol. Let me


    look at you!”


    Evan and Axel turned their attention toward them.


    When Evan noticed how the bright red gownplemented Caroline’s fair skin, he felt a surge of


    attraction.


    Caroline approached them. Greta held her hand and was about to say something when Evan chimed


    in.” Choose another gown.”


    bbergasted, everyone turned toward him.


    Evan was displeased. “It’s a bit revealing!”


    Caroline patiently asked, “How is it revealing when the cor is buttoned up?”


    “But the mesh material on the top is revealing!” Evan walked toward the array of gowns, feeling


    protective of her charming figure.


    In front of everyone, he picked a long, light–colored gown and handed it to Caroline. “Put this on.”

    Consequently, everyone was rendered speechless.


    Axel was confused. “Daddy, why did you pick a white gown over the red gown for your engagement


    with Mommy?”


    Evan nced at Axel. “You don’t understand. The color white symbolizes pure love.”


    Since Caroline couldn’t argue further, she nodded at Greta and went upstairs to change her gown.


    When she came downstairs, Evan found it satisfactory, as the gown was not revealing except for the


    chest area.


    Even in a simple gown, Caroline/carried herself well, showcasing her charms.


    With the gown decided, Yuliana left in advance.


    Over the next few hours, Greta discussed the engagement agenda with Caroline and Evan.


    Caroline even invited Greta to stay for dinner.


    Later, Greta approached Caroline, speaking with mncholy. “Go and see your grandfather, Carol.”


    “Aunt Greta, you know that I-”


    “Yes, I know you hate him,” Greta interrupted. “But he’s dying.”


    Caroline eximed, “What’s wrong with him?!”


    “His health worsened after he met you the other day. He mutters Ellie’s name daily, saying she is


    coming to get him,” Greta exined.


    Caroline frowned and remained silent.


    Greta continued. “Carol, you’re Ellie’s child. Can you show him some family love before he leaves? I’m


    begging you.”


    “You don’t have to beg me, Aunt Greta,” Caroline said. “Pick a time, and I’ll go with you guys.”


    Greta nodded, holding Caroline’s hand firmly. “You’re treated unfairly, Carol.”


    “Please don’t say that,” Caroline replied.


    “Okay, I’lle and pick you up tomorrow early morning. Let’s go with Thomas.”


    “Okay, I’ll wake up early tomorrow.”


    Casey woke up after a day in a room, feeling deeply dizzy.


    He opened his eyes and heard Danie’s sarcastic voice. “You’re finally awake.”


    Casey looked over and saw Danie leaning against a table in the corner with crossed arms.


    Frowning, he forced himself to sit up and looked around. “Where are we?”


    “How would I know?” Danie snorted. “All that I know is that it’s some kind of basement.”


    Casey kept frowning. “Why do you think so?”


    “It’s dark and cold without any sunlight!” Danie said. “Plus, there’s a musty smell.”


    “Who locked us up here?”


    “Well, it’s Mr. Hendrix.”
