Chapter 93


    “What’s that mean?” Carole blinked, clearly not following.


    ine continued, “Irvin is 55 years old. Although he’s in in look, he is a millionaire. If you marry him,


    you’ll be rolling in luxury for life!”

    Yep, that was ine’s grand n.


    It wasn’t that she had any particr affection for Carole.


    Instead, her husband, Hancock, saw a golden opportunity to rub shoulders with Irvin, hoping to secure


    him as an investor.


    Despite being in her thirties and a mother, Carole was undeniably beautiful, with ssical features that


    could turn heads.


    Carole frowned, “ine, are you suggesting that I… The rest of her sentence hung in the air,


    unspoken.


    ine nodded, affirming the unvoiced usation.


    Carole pushed back, “I appreciate the thought, but I’m not looking to get hitched again.”


    ineughed, a wry twist to her lips, “Oh, Carole, you’ve got it wrong. I’m not asking you to marry the


    guy.”


    She thought Carole had an inted sense of herself.


    Thinking Irvin would marry her wasughable. Did Carole believe just anyone could waltz into high


    society?


    “ine, then what are you saying?” Carole was puzzled.


    ineid it out, “Here’s the deal. Irvin’s got his wife and kids settled in another city. He had a mistress


    here in Cloudcrest, but his mistress got into a car ident, lost a limb, and he cut her loose. Now,


    Irvin’s looking to set up a new nest with a mistress here.”


    Affairs were dime a dozen among the rich and famous, so ine wasn’t fazed.


    Plus, Carole, unwed with a child, wasn’t saintly. She’d be a perfect match for Irvin.


    At that, Carole’s face drained of color. She stared at ine, incredulous, “Are you asking me to break


    up a family?”


    “Oh, honey, you’re making it sound so dramatic!” ine chuckled, patting Carole’s hand, “Look, I’m


    doing this for you. With Irvin, you won’t have to worry about a thing. Just rx, count your money, and


    enjoy life. Trust me, Irvin’s a good man. He won’t shortchange


    you.”


    Carole stepped back, “No way! I could never do something like that!”

    Why not? What’s stopping you?” Before ine could respond, Gemma burst out of her seat pointing at


    Carole, “Irvin’s interested in you, and that’s a stroke of luck! With your reputation, you should be


    grateful anyone’s giving you the time of day, let alone being picky! You’ve done far worse, so drop the


    act! Do you think you’re still some untainted maiden?


    Carole reddened her eyes as she locked gazes with Gemma.


    ine patted Carole’s shoulder, “Listen, these words are harsh but not wrong. Given your situation,


    Irvin’s interest is a blessing. He’s loaded. If you get with him, you’ll be living the high life. I’m only


    thinking of your best interest…”


    “Ridiculous!” Carole cut ine off, “Enough! I won’t agree to this!”


    Only ine could suggest such a ridiculous thing with a straight face.


    ine frowned, frustrated that Carole couldn’t see the opportunity right in front of her.


    Irvin was willing to overlook her past, and yet she had the gall to refuse him!
