    Chapter 169


    Nathan’s chest heaved as he spat out a single, vehement word: “Scram!”


    Caroline sprang to her feet and caught sight of a safe nestled inconspicuously in his private lounge.


    She wondered if her emerald was hidden there.


    Caroline tore her gaze away and hurriedly made her exit.


    Nathan smashed his fist against the wall angrily.


    Caroline returned to the presidential suite. Jeremy looked at her and asked, “Did you quarrel with


    Nathan?”


    Caroline did not answer.


    Jeremy slowly took out something and ced it in front of Caroline.


    It was a photo, but the photo was flipped to the back so she could not see what it was about.


    Caroline reached out to flip over the photo and asked aloud, “Who is in this picture?”


    “Nathan’s first crush,” replied Jeremy.


    Caroline paused and looked up at Jeremy.


    Jeremy extended his hand and tousled her hair gently. “Carol, did you do a background check on


    Nathan before getting involved with him? ying with fire like that, without knowing what went down in


    his past, you will be easily heartbroken.”


    Caroline’s sight fell on this photo again. She didn’t know that he had a first crush.


    It turned out that there was a girl hidden in his heart.


    “Do I look like her?” asked Caroline.


    Caroline wondered to herself if Nathan was drawn to her looks because she resembled


    his first crush.


    Jeremy didn’t answer her question. Instead, he said to her, “The photo is in your hand. You can see it


    yourself, Carol.”

    Chapter 109


    Caroline was silent for a few seconds and slowly pulled her hand back. She didn’t want to see it.


    “Carol, are you really in love with Nathan?” asked Jeremy, concerned.


    Caroline shook her head and denied, “Jeremy, I didn’t. I was with him because of the emerald. He took


    the emerald.”


    “Have you found the emerald then?” asked Jeremy.


    “There is a safe in Nathan’s private lounge. I feel that my emerald must be inside, but We had a falling


    out tonight and I can’t get in,” replied Caroline with a sigh.


    After pondering for a moment, Jeremy spoke up. “We need to retrieve the emerald as soon as possible.

    I’ll find a girl to seduce Nathan and use her looks as leverage.”


    The idea of setting a trap for Nathan sent shivers down Caroline’s spine. “No,” she objected hastily.


    “Why not?” asked Jeremy.


    Caroline retorted, “He’s not the type to fall for shallow seduction tactics.”


    [“How can you be so sure he’s not susceptible to lust? After all, he made you his mistress.


    I think he has a thing for innocent–looking girls. I’ll try to find a pretty college girl to see if she can reel


    him in,”mented Jeremy.


    “Jeremy, beauty alone won’t work,” Caroline countered before swiftly exiting the room.


    Jeremy made a phone call. A few minutester, his personal secretary came and brought Libby, a 19–


    year–old campus belle of Ace University.


    Like Caroline, Libby exuded an air of purity that drew men in. While she may not have possessed


    Caroline’s cool and unattainable aura, Libby exuded a vulnerable aura that piqued men’s natural urge


    to safeguard her. She was the type of woman that sessful businessmen would keep at arm’s length,


    yet couldn’t resist being drawn to.


    Jeremy nodded with satisfaction.


    The public’s curiosity continued to bubble and ferment as they eagerly awaited. Caroline’s boyfriend to


    make an appearance. Caroline spent the entire day cooped up at home until Janelle convinced her to


    go out to Heaven Bar that night.


    “Carol, what would you like to drink?” asked Janelle.

    Caroline didn’t answer because she saw several familiar figures in a remote room where Nathan and


    Josh were drinking.


    Nathan was sitting in the main seat with a cigarette in his hand. Someone was next to him. He was with


    an innocent female college student, wearing a white jacket and a miniskirt, and had a very good figure.


    “Mr. Faraday, the escort found a new lover? Isn’t that Libby, the campus belle of Ace University next to


    him?” Janelle also saw Nathan.


    Caroline looked away.


    “Carol, Mr. Faraday, the escort, really likes university girls. Libby looks like you,”mented Janelle.


    Caroline curled her red lips, she wondered, “Look like her, or his first crush?”
