    Chapter 16


    Caroline was speechless again. She wondered if the urge to strangle people was contagious since she


    really wanted to strangle Jacob right at that moment. She immediately hid behind him to prevent


    Nathan from seeing her face: “Mr. Faraday, please don’t tell anyone about me pretending to be ugly,


    especially your Uncle Nathan


    “Why?” Jacob asked in puzzlement.


    “Because the reason behind this is veryplicated. Mr. Faraday, please don’t tell anyone about it.


    Please keep it a secret for


    me.”


    Seeing that Caroline looked so solemn, Jacob nodded and agreed, “Okay, I promise to keep your


    secret, but you also have to promise me one thing.”


    “What thing?”


    “Be my girlfriend.”


    Caroline was lost for words. Jacob was really fishing in troubled waters. “No, Mr. Faraday. I’ve already


    said that I don’t like you. Please don’t waste your time on me, okay?”


    “Then you have to give me a chance. Let’s try it. You’ll be my girlfriend for a month. If you haven’t fallen


    in love with me in a month, I won’t bother you anymore”


    Caroline wondered if she had a choice, but quickly determined that she didn’t because Nathan had


    already walked toward them. He was getting closer to them. If she said no to Jacob, everything would


    be exposed.


    “Okay, I promise. I’ll go fix my makeup now.” Caroline turned and ran away.


    At that time. Nathan came over. He nced in the direction where Caroline disappeared and pursed


    his thin lips in displeasure. “Jacob, what are you yelling about here? I hear you asking me toe over


    to see Caroline’s face. What’s wrong with her face?”


    “Oh, Uncle Nathan, I asked you toe over and see how ugly Caroline’s face is! I found that she’s a


    little uglier todaypared to yesterday.”


    Caroline, who had just finished her makeup and returned, was voiceless. She thought, ‘I better thank


    you then!”


    “Ugly woman, faster,e here. Uncle Nathan. I’m officially announcing to you that this ugly woman is


    my girlfriend, and she has promised to date me.”


    Caroline felt Nathan’s cold and sharp gaze fall on her, and he stared at her for some time. She had just


    gotten out of his bed. Now, she had be Jacob’s girlfriend. She would not me Nathan for


    thinking she was a shameless woman.


    “Mr. Faraday, the meeting will start in half an hour. It’s time for us to go back to thepany. At that


    time, Alfred reminded Nathan in a low voice.


    Nathan withdrew his gaze and left..


    After Nathan finally left, Caroline slowly rxed.


    “Ugly woman, I’m very loyal, right? I didn’t reveal anything about your act. Let’s go on a date. I’ll treat


    you to a movie tonight.


    “No thanks, Mr. Faraday. I don’t want to watch a movie. I’m leaving Caroline left.


    As soon as Caroline left, a string of melodic ringtones resounded. Liliana called her.


    Caroline answered, “Hello, Mom.”


    “Caroline,e home now!” Liliana hung up the phone coldly.

    At the Sullivan residence, Caroline entered the living room and heard Shirley crying. “Mom, this is the


    text message Caroline sent me. She deliberately asked me to meet at Room No. 809 to let Quinton


    assault me!”


    Shirley was disheveled, and there were bruises on her body. She looked so miserable.


    Liliana held Shirley dearly in her arms andforted thetter. When she saw Caroline was back, she


    immediately stood up and used. “Caroline, you are so scheming and vicious. How dare you lie to


    your sister and make her go to Room No. 809 to deliver her to Quinton? Do you know what type of


    person he is


    Caroline stood in the living room, looked at Liliana, and smiled gently. “Oh, Mom, so you actually know


    what kind of person Quinton is. I thought you didn’t know”
