《You Are The Star In My Life》


 Chapter 1: Is That What You Think of Me?

    Chapter 1: Is That What You Think of Me?


    "Darling, do you want more?"


    The man¡¯s low voice caressed her ears.His dark eyes seemed to be a swirling pool of desire, drowning


    Caroline inside.


    Her face grew rosy as her heart skipped a beat, but just as she was about to respond, the man¡¯s phone


    rang.


    Their heated moment was instantly disrupted as Aldrich scrambled to answer it.


    "My wife; he said softly to the person on the receiver.


    "Alright, I''lle home immediately.Wait for me"

    Caroline felt as though a basin of icy water was poured down her spine.


    "You''re married? You have a wife?" she rigidly asked.


    Why¡ªshe didn''t even know!


    "We''re getting married tomorrow"He hooked her chin and stared down the kiss marks he had made on


    her neck.He rubbed them for a while until the light in his eyes turned cold.


    "Don''te looking for me in the future" Caroline''s heart stopped.


    Without much care of her appearance, she scrambled forward and grabbed Aldrich''s arm.


    "Aldrich, since when?" she asked desperately.


    He sneered.


    "Could it be that you''re a woman who would do anything for money? You have taken two million from


    me in the past two years, right? But howe other men don''t have to spend so much to keep their


    women?"


    There was a resounding p in a blink of an eye, and Caroline dazedly held her red cheek.She slowly


    raised her gaze up to the man who had been doting on her just ten minutes ago.She asked with


    trembling lips, "Aldrich, is that really how you look at me?"


    Aldrich wasn''t just some man to her.She had always held him dear after falling in love with him at a


    party four years ago.


    However, she was still a proud daughter of the Nigel family back then.


    Aldrich was the sessor of the Stanley family''s business empire, so he naturally had an excellent


    upbringing that she couldn''t help but like him.


    It was only unfortunate that Stanley Corporation faced a crisis three years ago.


    They had faced bankruptcy and couldn''t pay the hugepensation.


    When she had heard the news that time, she was quick on her toes to help.


    She had went on to beg Stanley Corporation''s clients one by one.


    She had even been drenched in the rain for three days and three nights before she had finally


    managed to get a client to sign the contract.


    She had also taken money from her parents and sent it to Stanley family, temporarily solving the


    problem of their crisis.


    After that, Stanley Corporation regained its glory and even grew bigger.


    Caroline was happy for Aldrich, truly.


    However, two years ago, it was the Nigel family''s turn to fall under a huge debt because of a contract


    leak.


    Her father could not ept going to prison and eventually jumped down from Nigel Corporation''s


    building.


    Following after that was her mother who did the same down the river in I City.


    Caroline had lost two rtives overnight.


    Right then and there, she had felt what it was like to be in despair.


    And yet she couldn''t follow after her parents because she had a twin sister who had always been in


    poor health.


    She knew she needed to stay strong to take good care of Charlene, so she tried her hardest to save


    thergest amount of money she could to pay for the medical expenses.


    Two monthster, however, they ran out of money.


    She couldn''t afford to pay for the hospitalization fee anymore, so she swallowed her embarrassment


    and asked Aldrich for help.


    It was a tough decision for her, but it was herst resort.


    She had hoped that he would return at least a bit of the help she had give him before.She sent her


    secretary.


    However, for some reason, her secretary reported back and said that Aldrich had asked her to wait for


    him at the hotel.


    She had her own doubts about the arrangement, but her desperation led her to follow.


    He did give her money every time they had a meetup, but in turn, she was selling her dignity.


    She hadpletely be a tool for him to solve his physiological needs.


    "What do you think?" Aldrich raised his brow, then heughed.


    "This is purely business.No strings attached.You''ve been with me for at least two years, but it''s easy for


    people to get together and part wayster.Don''t make things ugly if you don''t want to find another


    patron." He clicked his tongue and immediately wore his clothes.


    Afterwards, he picked up the cheque, signed it, and smashed it on Caroline''s face.


    "One hundred thousand.That''s already twice the usual"


    Caroline held the cheque in her hand, but her grip was tight as though her heart had been torn apart.


    Although she had her doubts before, she had never thought it through because she did love him.She


    let him do what he wanted, but she didn''t think he would hurt her like this.


    ¡®That''s right.Fifty thousand a night, he gave me a hundred thousand today.It''s already twice as much¡®


    She bit her lips and consoled herself.It was fine.At least she had more money this time.Caroline''s


    phone rang.She picked it up, still in a trance, but when she answered, her expression immediately


    changed.


    Hospital.


    "Doctor, how is my sister?" Caroline asked anxiously.


    "Her alveoli have ruptured.She needs to be admitted to the intensive care unit!" The doctor said.


    "Also, you have to use the imported medicine I prescribed, otherwise ..." Caroline stood there


    unmoving.


    ¡®Just a day in the (CU ward was already ten thousand, but adding an expensive medicine..) She was


    afraid that even the money from Aldrich was not enough.


    Moreover, she had already used the 100,000 dors she had just received to cover the 60,000 dors


    she owed for treatment!


    "You have to make a decision as quick as possible if you want her to live¡± the doctors urged.


    "Stop!" Caroline gritted her teeth.


    "I''ll pay the bill immediately."


    "Pay the fee in one go for three days.You can deposit 50,000 dors first" said the doctor.


    Caroline raised her eyes and asked, "Can I pay 40,000 dors first?"


    "Then we have to make up for the rest tomorrow"


    That day, Charlene was pushed into the ICU.And the next day, Caroline arrived at Aldrich¡¯s


    wedding.She had nowhere else to go to.


    Although she knew that she would be humiliated, she could only borrow money from him.

 Chapter 2: Hes Getting Married

    Chapter 2: He''s Getting Married


    The wedding hadn''t even began when Caroline arrived, but she just had to witness a romantic stage


    filled with flowers.


    There was a heavy pang in her chest, but no matter what, she could never do anything about it.She


    had already understood that her current identity was no longerparable to his.Her love for him


    would have to be disregarded as well.


    Right now, she only wanted to save her only rtive.


    But just as she was about to look for Aldrich, arge hand grabbed her arm and pulled her in a room.


    "Didn''t I tell not to look for me?"


    Aldrich growled, his eyes ring daggers at her.


    "Is it because I didn''t give you enough money yesterday?"


    "Aldrich, I¡ª"


    Caroline''s heart actually wanted toin.She wanted to tell him she was suffering, but she


    couldn''t.Her main goal today was different.


    Although she felt as though she was stepping on thest shred of dignity she had for herself, she still


    hardened her expression and said, "Yes, I came to borrow money from you."


    Aldrich''s seemed as though he expected her reply and only sneered, "How much do you want this


    time?"


    "One million."


    Caroline bit her tongue and swallowed the bile in her throat.


    She felt disgusted with herself, but what else could she possibly do? Yesterday, she had asked the


    doctor again.


    The doctor said that Charlene''s follow-up treatment was estimated to cost more than 900,000 dors.


    "Caroline, who do you really think you are?"


    Aldrich shook her off and turned around.


    Caroline was surprised he didn''t do anything else, but her heart skipped a beat upon realizing he


    wouldn''t give her anything.


    "Aldrich, please!" she immediately yelled and gripped his coat.


    "Please lend me the money.I really need it to save my sister ...I will definitely think of a way to return it


    to you in the future!"


    "Think of a way?" Aldrich repeated, feigning shock.


    "Do you still want to lie under another man and use the money they gave you to return it to me?"


    Aldrich was disgusted, but he couldn''t help the sudden burst of anger in his heart.


    For some reason, he felt a bit of pain inside.His hands moved on their own and immediately pinned


    Caroline up against the wall.


    Anxious, Caroline hurriedly struggled.


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    "Aldrich, don''t be like this.You''re getting married today, we can''t .." Aldrich snorted.


    "Didn''t you ask for money? Then serve me.Maybe I''ll give it to you!"


    At this moment, there was a knock on the door behind him, but they hadn''t even reacted when it


    bursted open.


    A woman in a wedding dress rushed in, but stopped when she realized what was happening.


    "You¡ª" she eximed, and tears immediately gushed out of her eyes.


    "Aldrich, how can you .." Aldrich''s expression changed.


    He pushed Caroline away and quickly tidied up his clothes.


    "I''m sorry! If you love me, please listen to my exnation¡ª"


    "I know.She must have seduced you, right?"


    Riane pointed her finger and quickly walked up to Caroline to p her face.


    "Bitch!"


    Everything went by in a blur that Caroline had no time to react.She had fallen down the ground


    because of the strong impact, but she only blinked as she looked up.Her eyes grew wide when the


    appearance of the woman in wedding dress processed in her mind.


    "Riane?" she asked.


    Riane was an orphan adopted by the Nigel family.She was gentle and generous at home, causing her


    adoptive parents to like her very much.


    Caroline''s love for Riane could not be better.


    Whatever she and her sister had, they would definitely give her a share.


    However, when the Nigel family had been in a crisis.


    Riane''s personality changed.She just left.She didn''t even go to the funeral of her adoptive parents.


    Caroline didn''t bother reaching out.


    Although she felt betrayed, she did understand that Riane might have wanted to live a better life.She


    just didn''t expect that she was actually Aldrich¡¯s bride!


    "Caroline, how did you end up like this?"


    Riane looked at Caroline sadly.


    "You are the eldest daughter of the Nigel family.How could you have stooped so low as to be a


    mistress? How can you face our parents like this?"


    At the mention of her parents, Caroline recovered and got up from the ground, looked at her former


    sister, and sarcastically said, "Oh dear sister, how can you be shameless as to still call them your


    parents?"


    "Why isn''t she qualified?" Aldrich interjected.


    "Riane had worked so hard to pay for uncle and aunt''s funeral expenses while all you thought about


    was climbing up the socialdder!"

 Chapter 3: Have Nowhere to Go

    Chapter 3: Have Nowhere to Go


    ¡®Climbing the socialdder?¡¯ Caroline''s chest rose and fell.


    ¡®If I really was just busy doing that, then how could Nigel Corporation end up in such a state?¡¯ She


    hadn''t had the chance to refute as someone from the outside was calling for the groom and bride to


    hurry up.


    Aldrich hugged Riane''s waist and said gently, "Darling, let''s go."


    "Wait" Caroline held her torn clothes together on one hand and stretched out her other hand.


    "You haven''t paid yet."


    In that instant, the murderous glint in Aldrich''s darkened eyes almost made Caroline lose her


    composure.Still, he took out a cheque and a pen from his pocket.He quickly signed it and tossed it


    over.


    "It''s only half done.25,000 dors for you!"


    Caroline picked up the cheque on the ground and looked at the man who had left, her eyes blurry.


    Her clothes were already torn beyond repair, and she could only find a tablecloth in the lounge to wrap


    around her.


    Fortunately, the guests were up the center stage and nobody noticed her.


    It was easy for her to sneak.As she went out, she heard the groom say gently, "I do."


    The way he spoke it so firmly was as if he was making a solemn oath.


    Caroline felt bitter inside, but she only lowered her head and quickly left.She was never meant for him.


    They could only part like this.


    She rushed all the way to the hospital, but as her mind was preupied, someone who was riding a


    motorcycle passed by and managed to snatch her bag.


    Caroline was shocked and hurriedly chased after him, but how could she run after a motorcycle? She


    watched helplessly as the motorcycle disappeared with the bag that contained the 25,000 dors which


    could save her sister''s life.


    Caroline fell to the ground in despair.She only stood up when someone passed by to help her call the


    police.


    It was already afternoon when she had finished going through the process of reporting the stealing


    incident.


    She hurriedly returned to the hospital, but she was only at the door of the ICU ward when she saw the


    doctor hurrying over.


    "Why didn¡¯t you answer your phone? Your sister''s operation just now required a signature, and her


    family members weren''t there ..."


    "How''s my sister?"


    Caroline met the doctor halfway down the corridor and asked.


    "We can only treat her cautiously." The doctor sighed.


    "Fortunately, she has recovered now.Have you paid your follow-up fees?"


    "I¡ª"


    Caroline lowered her eyes.


    "I''m still thinking of a way."


    Under theplicated gaze of the doctor, she left the hospital building and bought a cheap phone for


    two hundred dors.


    She transferred her sim card and waited for a call from the police station.She waited until it was already


    nighttime when she was finally notified that the thief had been caught, but the money had already been


    transferred, so it would take time for her to get it back.


    Caroline felt numb in her scalp.She held her head, trying her best to remain calm.Her sister''s life was at


    stake.


    If she could not pay the follow-up fees ¡­


    Sighing, she made a decision and went home to pack up all her things.


    It was said to be everything, but in fact, it was only two boxes.


    She called thendlord that night and begged for a long time before he finally agreed to refund her the


    remaining six thousand dors from her advanced rent and deposit.


    Then she dragged her luggage all the way across the streets.


    She didn''t even know where she was supposed to be going.


    When she reached the bridge, she stopped and sat along the sides.She watched the bright moon


    hanging high in the sky, illuminating the dark abyss.She suddenly thought, ¡®At this time, Aldrich and


    Riane should be having their honeymoon, right?¡¯


    Caroline woke up with an unbearable body pain and a headache in the early morning of the next


    day.She hadn''t realized that she had fallen asleep and ended up spending her night on the side of the


    bridge.


    After tidying herself the best she could, she picked up her luggage and resumed her walk.


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    She stopped by a pawnshop and nced down the ring on her palm.


    It was something that her mother had told her to never lose, but she was already at her wits¡¯ end to


    care about sentiments.


    The pawnshop clerk couldn''t see the value of the ring, however, so he asked Caroline to wait for a


    moment and walked inside.


    Coincidentally, the pawnshop owner who rarely ever came was here today.


    When he saw the clerk holding something, he casually said, "What is it?"


    The clerk''s eyes grew wide when he realized it was the big boss.


    This was his first time meeting him so he was trembling slightly as he said, "Boss, I was just about to


    let Hugo take a look"


    "Let me see" the man said.


    He took the ring handed over by the man, and when he saw the patterns and inscriptions on it, he


    suddenly raised his head.


    "Who''s the owner? Take him to the reception room.I want to see him!"


    With that, he quickly made a phone call.

 Chapter 4: Give Me a Baby

    Chapter 4: Give Me a Baby


    Outside, Caroline was anxiously waiting.She was desperately wishing that the ring was valuable


    enough for sufficient money, but her conscience was also reluctant to sell her mother''sst possession.


    Just as she was suffering in her heart, the pawnshop clerk returned.


    Upon hearing that their boss wanted to see her, she immediately followed him inside.


    Caroline''s heart was jumping.She had a vague guess that the ring might have some background.


    The pawnshop owner, in his forties, came in with her ring in his hand and asked, "Miss, do you own this


    ring?"


    Caroline nodded.


    "Sir, how much can you give me for this ring?"


    "You''re short of money?" The other party asked.


    Caroline smiled bitterly.


    "This is my mother''s relic.If it wasn''t for theck of money, I naturally wouldn''t want to pawn it"


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "This address."


    The pawnshop owner gave her a business card.


    "Go here at seven in the evening and you''ll get what you want"


    "Sir, what do you mean?"


    Caroline''s heart began to beat like a drum.


    This was basically the same as when she had dumbly went to the hotel that Aldrich had told her


    secretary back then.


    "Take back the ring, the pawnshop owner said.


    "If you want money, do as I say."


    Caroline took the business card in a daze and left with the ring.


    However, before that, she went to the hospital first.


    Charlene had already woken up.She was deathly pale and thin, like a worn out fragile doll, or a


    withering white flower easily blown away by the wind.


    Yet despite that, she held a gentle smile.


    It was soothing, washing Caroline''s worries away.She held Caroline''s hand and said, "Carrie, listen to


    me.I heard from the doctor that we need arge amount of money, but I don''t want you to overwork


    yourself anymore.Take care of yourself too.Don''t worry about me anymore."


    "It''s fine.Lene, I''ve already thought of a way."


    Caroline held her twin sister''s hands more tightly and smiled.


    "Do you still remember the ring that Mom left us? That ring is very valuable.I''ve already asked about


    it.I''ll change it tonight, and you''ll be able to have the operation!"


    Charlene''s heart trembled.


    She couldn''t believe it, but seeing Caroline''s warm smile, she swallowed what she wanted to say and


    simply nodded.


    "Alright, Carrie" she said.


    "I also want me to get better sooner.I want to go to work with you and earn money together.I can''t be a


    burden anymore .."


    "What are you saying?"


    Caroline''s smile was cracking along with the tears appearing in her eyes, but she managed to hold it


    up.


    "You''re a blessing for being here with me.Otherwise, I don''t even know how to hold on."


    Charlene''s body was still very weak, so she fell asleep after talking for a while.


    In the evening, Caroline went to the ce the pawnshop owner said.


    Actually, if she wasn''t desperate, how could she, a lowly girl, dare to go to such a ce that looked like


    the suburbs? However, she no longer had a choice.


    At worst, she would lose her sister and then eventually her life.


    Caroline walked to the address shown on the business card but was in awe to find a single vi.


    Thend surrounding it was impressively wide, although rather deste.


    Still, the vi stood proudly in the middle.She walked up to the door and knocked a few times.


    A maid in her forties opened the door, and she was immediately invited in, "Sir is already waiting for


    you inside."


    She was led inside but she only looked down the shiny marble floors, not daring to peek at the grand


    layout of the mansion.


    They stopped in front of a door, and that was when the maid retreated.


    Caroline took a deep breathe and lightly knocked on the door.


    "Come in¡± a man replied from the inside.


    His low voice flowed through and seemed to linger for a few seconds as though it was a cello speaking.


    Caroline pushed the door open and entered, only to discover that the curtains of the room were drawn


    and the lights were not turned on.


    She could see the outline of a tall silhouette standing with his back on her through the light outside the


    door.


    The faint aura emanating from his body was oppressive.


    "Close the door¡¯ Caroline''s palms were sweating, but she still turned around and closed the door.


    Suddenly, the room fell into darkness.


    Caroline''s breathing tightened.


    "Sir, it''s closed¡±


    "Caroline Nigel, 22 years ald, local, an orphan, only has a twin sister¡¯¡¯ the man recited indifferently, as if


    knowing almost everything about her was nothing too serious.


    "Height 164, weight 90, blood type .."


    Caroline was shocked, but realizing the other party''s identity, it wouldn''t be too hard for him to figure


    them out.


    Besides, those were basic information anyone could find if they got a hold of her birth certificate.


    She also knew rich people would often do this to ensure their own security.


    So she simply replied, "Yes"


    "You''re short of money? How much do you want?"


    There were small shuffles, indicating that the man must have turned around.


    Caroline could even feel him approaching her step by step.


    As a result, the pressure made her unable to breathe.She replied breathlessly, "One million"


    "Sure, he replied immediately, surprising her.


    "But the condition is to give me the ring." Caroline nodded.


    Of course it was a given, but his next words made her freeze.


    "And give me a baby in a year."

 Chapter 5: I Promise You

    Chapter 5: I Promise You


    Caroline''s eyes widened, but she thought that she had just heard wrongly.She tried to look at the man


    for confirmation, but it was too dark to even make out his face.


    "Did you hear my conditions?" She blinked but was still in a state of shock to reply.


    "I''ll give you a minute to think about it! '''' he said after a few seconds.


    Yet though his tonecked any warmth, his voice was still maic that Caroline''s heart couldn''t help


    but somersault.It was beating so loudly it was as though the other party could hear it under the dark


    silence.


    But she was quick to gather her wits back.


    Although there were still many questions, there was always only one choice for her.


    "There''s no need to think about it for a minute."


    She looked at the blurry silhouette in front of her and said, "I promise you."


    "Alright." The man didn''t seem to be surprised by her choice.


    "Give me the ring." Caroline put the ring into the man¡¯s palm.


    "You can take the second step now" Caroline''s breathing tightened and she didn''t dare to move.She


    didn''t think he was this efficient.


    And though she might have done this type of thing with Aldrich, she only endured because she had


    love him.


    Doing it with another, a stranger even, was her very bottomline.She was technically like those women


    who sell their bodies to anyone at this point.


    "What? Do you want me to help you take it off?"


    Instead of the indifference that she was starting to get used to, his tone this time carried a trace of


    impatience.


    Caroline gritted her teeth and said, "I''ll do it myself"


    She told herself in her heart that she could do anything for the sake of her sister''s illness ...Her clothes


    peeled off oneyer after another, much like how she had lost her dignity.She wanted to cry, but she


    swallowed it back.


    However, just as she was about to lie down, a ringing broke the silence in the room.


    Caroline''s cell phone lit up in the pitch-ck room.She hurriedly reached out to get it.She was going to


    hang up, but she saw that it was the number from the hospital! She quickly slipped off the bed and


    answered.


    "Is this Charlene¡¯s family?" a female voice asked.


    "I am" Caroline said anxiously.


    "How is my sister? Is anything wrong? "She''s gone." The female voice said.


    "She was there this afternoon when I made the ward rounds.But when I checked again, she was


    nowhere¡¯ Caroline''s heart suddenly tightened.She was very clear about Charlene¡¯s situation.Once she


    left the hospital, the consequences would be ...


    "Did you check the surveince cameras?" Caroline said.


    "She couldn''t have left the hospital at all!"


    "Yes.She seemed to have received a phone call and left after that.Would you like toe over and


    take a look?"


    Caroline immediately touched around for her clothes and put them on.


    "Alright, I''ll be right there"


    She hung up the phone and realized that there was an unidentified man in front of her.


    "I¡ª"


    But she only said a syble when he interrupted.


    "You want to leave?"


    "I''m sorry, sir.My sister is missing.I must go find her immediately!" Caroline said.


    "I''ll take the ring as a deposit."


    The man stepped away from her and stood by the curtained windows.


    "I hope you don''t change your mind."


    Caroline was so anxious that she didn''t have time to get the ring back, so she said, "Alright, sir, wait for


    me to find my sister first"


    She hurried outside, but she didn''t expect that the servant would help her arrange a car.


    Thus, in less than an hour, Caroline arrived at the hospital.The ward was still the same as when she


    left, except Charlene was not inside.


    Caroline swept her gaze and saw the cell phone in the bed.She knew Charlene''s pin code, so she


    immediately unlocked it.


    But as soon as the screen shed, her face paled and her world stopped.It was a photo of her.She was


    pressed on the bed by Aldrich with her wrist tied up.


    It was evident what she was doing.


    Caroline''s fingers trembled as she scrolled down.


    There were even more pictures, different times and ces, but the same protagonist who had been


    trampled into the mud.


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Finally, she reached the end where there were a few lines, "Know where your hospitalization fee came


    from, naive sister! If you''d rather still be a parasite to your sister, stay in the hospital.If you don''t want


    to, you should know what to do"

 Chapter 6: Taste of Despair

    Chapter 6: Taste of Despair


    Caroline stared at her phone for a moment.She didn''t move an inch after seeing the pictures on her


    sister''s phone.


    But, the intention of the message was clear.Her sister, Charlene, had been manipted by someone


    she knew, and she wouldn''t let it pass.


    Of course, it was an unknown number, but she didn''t even need to think about it to know who the


    sender was.


    Caroline gritted her teeth as she spoke, "Riane""


    Her scarlet eyes were filled with anger.


    Even the grip on her phone tightened in hatred.


    ¡®No, it wasn''t just her.How could Riane have these photos without Aldrich¡¯s permission?¡¯ Caroline


    shook her head in disbelief and rushed over to leave the hospital.


    Once Charlene knew what she was doing, she would definitely go to Aldrich''s vi to look for her and


    stop her right away.


    Therefore, it was very likely that her sister was there.


    At this time, Caroline didn''t care about anything else for the sake of her sister.


    Charlene wasn''t in good shape, and she must hurry to bring her back to her ward for recovery.


    So, as soon as she took a taxi, she directly asked the driver to go to Stanley''s vi as quickly as


    possible.


    Finally, the driver could no longer refuse and began to drive away.


    Unfortunately, it began to rain heavily.


    The driver drove a little slowly because of his poor vision at night.


    But when they reached the vicinity of the vi area, they started to get stuck in the traffic.


    Caroline couldn''t wait any longer since it wasn''t that long to reach Aldrich¡¯s vi.


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Because of that, she hurriedly paid the driver and opened the car door to run out in the middle of the


    traffic.


    Along the way, she walked under the streetmps only to discover that the crowd surrounding the side


    of the road resulted in the dy of transportation.


    The sound of a police siren could also be heard throughout the ce.It seemed like an ident had


    happened there.


    Caroline was confused and feeling ufortable at the same time.


    As if someone was telling her to visit the crowd.


    And because of that anxious feeling, she tried to excuse herself to find out what was going on.


    But as soon as she saw the view of the scene, Caroline''s brain suddenly buzzed.She held her breath


    as her entire body trembled in shock.


    The ce wasn''t that long from Stanley''s vi yet; she definitely knew what she saw.She rushed over


    the scene without hesitation.


    The rain drenched her thoroughly.She stepped on the stagnant water and ran over there.She pushed


    aside the crowd until she saw a familiar slender figure lying on the ground.


    Caroline felt as if her heart had been stabbed hundreds of times after confirming who it was.


    Her eyes widened in shock.


    "Charlene!" Her voice was trembling and sharp in the middle of a rainy night where the ce was biting


    cold.


    On the ground, Charlene remained motionless and unconscious.


    Her wet hair covered her cheeks, and her face initially looked pale.Her soaked body caused her skin to


    turn even grayer.


    Just as Caroline was about to reach out for her sister, a policeman immediately stopped her and asked,


    "Miss, are you the family of the deceased person?"


    Caroline suddenly turned around, and her eyes filled with panic.


    "What do you mean by deceased?" Caroline asked with a trace of confusion in her eyes.


    "We already received a report.When we rushed over, we discovered that this youngdy wasying on


    the ground.Pale and unconscious after confirming her death¡± The policeman said.


    "If you are her family, please follow us to make a statement."


    But, she didn''t seem to believe what she had heard.


    "My sister isn''t dead and I will take her to the hospital!"


    The policeman refused, "I know, this is hard for you but Miss, she''s not breathing anymore¡¯ Caroline


    insisted, "She''s not going to die! Her alveoli ruptured that is why she cannot breathe properly.She''ll be


    fine if she takes to the hospital!"


    Caroline seemed to be trying to grab thest hope she had.She took out her phone and dialed the 911


    hotline.


    "Doctor, I''m at the entrance of the city vi.My sister fainted here.Pleasee and save her!"


    At the end of her sentence, she knelt on the ground with tears rolling down her cheeks.


    Her face filled with helplessness and regret.


    The policeman sighed when he saw her in pain.


    It was given that she couldn''t ept the fact that her sister was dead, so he did not urge her any


    further.


    Instead, he patiently waited for 911 toe.


    The ambnce arrived nearby.


    Because of the traffic jam, the doctor came on foot.


    After examining Charlene''s condition and checking her pulse, the doctor shook his head after heaving


    a sigh, "There''s nothing I can do about this, Ms.Nigel.Condolences.Your sister has passed away for


    more than half an hour.She didn''t make it."


    Hearing that made Caroline fell to the ground.


    "No.That''s not true"


    She refused to believe as she slowly bent down to help her unconscious sister to get up.


    "She isn''t dead!"


    Caroline hugged Charlene tightly in her arms, not letting her go.


    "Sister, don''t leave me.You''re the only one I have.Can you not leave me?"


    Then, she cried desperately, "Will you apany me, please?"

 Chapter 7: The Truth

    Chapter 7: The Truth


    Witnessing the painful scene, the crowd couldn''t bear to watch it anymore and quickly


    dispersed.Caroline didn''t even know how she finally left the entrance of the vi with her unconscious


    sister.


    All she knew was that, when she woke up the following day, someone told her to take ast look at


    Charlene so they could send her to the crematorium.


    Under the list in the ICU ward, Charlene''s eyes were tightly closed.


    Her cheeks were pale and ashen, and she was silent as if she was sleeping.


    She was so cheerful the other day Caroline saw her.


    But in just a moment of time, after Caroline left to look out for money to pay off her sister''s bills,


    Charlene suddenly passed away in an instant.


    Caroline''s hand trembled as she stroked Charlene''s cheek for thest time.


    Her tears were crackling down her cheeks.


    "Charlene, I''m sorry.I didn''t take good care of you.Mom and Dad, I''m sorry, I didn¡¯t take good care of


    my sister!"


    That day, Charlene was cremated.


    When Caroline left the crematorium, she had a blue and white porcin jar in her hand.


    Her sister''s ashes were there.


    The expression on Caroline''s face was nk and hollow.


    While walking, she came across a bump under her feet that almost made her fall.


    Caroline hurriedly hugged the jar tightly to keep it safe and looked at the sky outside.She didn''t have


    anything left in her life.She closed her eyes.


    Suddenly, a conversation between two girls could be heard not far away.


    Caroline''s guilt and hatred suddenly reced her nk expression.


    "Riane is so beautiful and lucky.I heard that the Stanley family gave her a luxury car just after she


    married the family¡¯s young master!"


    "Young Master Stanley really loves her.I heard that they knew each other several years ago!"


    "How envious!"


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Caroline slowly turned around with her empty-looking eyes.


    She couldn''t believe what she just heard but what was even funnier was that she used to like Aldrich


    the time when they were together.


    Caroline shook her head in disbelief as her mind slowly regained consciousness.


    ¡®Aldrich, Riane.It was them who sent Charlene such a message! They murdered my sister! An intense


    hatred burst out from Caroline''s eyes.


    She carried Charlene''s ashes and rushed to the police station without wasting her time.


    "I want to report.Aldrich and Riane killed my sister!"


    Caroline said with a heavy feeling in her heart.


    She even took out Charlene''s phone and continued, "They sent this message to my sister.Because of


    that, she died on her way to Stanley''s vi!"


    The policeman took it and looked at the photo.


    At this moment, Caroline could no longer care if someone would know that she used to be sleeping


    with the young master of Stanley''s family.


    She only wanted justice for her sister, and the two of them, Aldrich and Riane, must pay.


    "Miss, do you have any other evidence that the two of them killed your sister?" the policeman asked,


    but the tone of his voice seemed like he wasn''t convinced by the text message he saw.


    Caroline shook her head, "Nothing else.But that''s the only reason why my sister went outside the


    hospital.My sister is seriously ill, so she can''t leave, let alone and get caught in the rain!"


    "Young miss, I''m really sorry.But this isn''t enough evidence"


    The policeman apologetically said, "If you have any other evidence, you can report it again.Of course,


    you can also ask awyer to help you with thewsuit.However, the current evidence is not enough for


    the case to be closed."


    No matter how hard Caroline convinced, the policeman had the same opinion and defense.


    She had no choice but to leave in a daze and arrive at the Stanley family vi to find out the truth.


    As Aldrich was about to take Riane home, he suddenly saw Caroline sitting on the side of the road.


    He frowned and even stopped the car that made the girl beside her furrow her eyebrows in confusion.


    "What?" The girl looked around until her gazended on Caroline''s.


    Just as Aldrich was about to get out of the car, Riane opened her mouth and said, "Aldrich, I''ll go down


    and talk to her.You must stay here and wait for me, okay?"


    "Alright."


    Every time that Riane woulde across her adoptive sister, her blood would always boil in hatred.


    Once she finally got out of the car and faced her sister, she couldn''t help but smirk at Caroline''s


    hopeless state.


    Seeing Riane approaching, Caroline''s eyes widened and immediately stepped forward.She was about


    to p the woman, but Riane seemed to have been prepared for it.She quickly dodged it at ease and


    asked her coldly, "What, your sister died without money to be buried?"


    "You!" Caroline''s eyes were filled with hatred.


    "Riane, I''m going to kill you!"


    "Oh, I''m so scared!" Riane sneered.


    "Oh right, there''s another secret I haven''t told you!"


    After saying that, she leaned closer to Caroline and lowered her voice, "Your sister didn''t die in the


    rain.She at least enjoyed being a woman for once before her end.It was my people who provided her


    with pleasure and benefits.How about that? She didn''t live for 20 years in vain.She went on the road to


    hell, so she should be thanking me for letting her experience that pleasure before she died, right?"

 Chapter 8: She Wants Revenge!

    Chapter 8: She Wants Revenge!


    Caroline''s eyes instantly widened in shock as her entire body trembled in guilt, "You said what?"


    "Unfortunately, she was cremated so quickly that even the traces of it disappeared.But, do you have


    the money and ability to sue me?" Riane asked in a mocking tone.


    "Oh, I forgot to tell you! I was very generous for giving my husband to your sister.It was a pity that my


    husband fell asleep and called her by your name."


    Caroline felt as if a basin of icy water had been poured down her spine after hearing what Riane had


    just said.She was so furious.She couldn''t think of anything else except for her guilt and desperation to


    turn the woman in front of her into pieces.


    "You!"


    Caroline raised her hand unconsciously and was about to p Riane, but before her hand could even


    land, it was captured by a man.She turned her eyes and met Aldrich''s furious eyes.


    "Caroline, that''s enough!" He said coldly with a firm grip on her wrist.


    He tightened his grip so she couldn''t move and touch him.


    Caroline stared at him for a moment.


    Guilt began to rise inside of her once again.


    ¡®How could he humiliate my sister like this?¡¯ She bit on her lip in frustration, "Aldrich, you beasts!


    What''s wrong with you? Why did you treat my sister as if she was your toy?"


    Caroline shouted at the top of her lungs, "If you wanted to kill me then kill me.But why does it have to


    be my sister? Why are you so heartless? She''s innocent!"


    "What?"


    Aldrich gave her a confused look and was about to ask what those words meant.


    But Riane interrupted their conversation and said casually, "Honey, let''s not waste our time talking to


    this madwoman.I heard that she even seduced doctors in the hospital to pay off some bills.How


    disgusting."


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Aldrich''s eyes instantly surged with disgust after Riane spoke.He couldn''t believe what he just heard.


    Because of that, he shook Caroline''s hand away with force.


    "Fuck off!" he said.


    Caroline couldn''t take it any longer and copsed to the ground.


    But as long as the couple got back into their car, they drove away as if nothing had happened.


    Caroline clenched her fists with her eyes filled with hatred.She had nothing left now.She wanted to kill


    them with a desire to avenge her sister, but she couldn''t think of a n.


    But at this moment, her phone in her pocket suddenly rang.She didn''t want to take it, but her phone


    kept ringing, which irritated her.She picked it up and was about to hang up when she saw that it was


    from a personal number.Her stare stopped for a moment as an idea slipped in her mind.She answered


    the call to make sure, and she was right.


    It was the owner of the pawnshop she had met thest time she traded her mother''s ring for money.But


    now that her sister was gone, she could no longer put the money to use.


    "Caroline, it''s me" The man''s voice was deep and very pleasant as if he was whispering to her ears.


    Before Caroline could even finish her sentence, she was interrupted by him, "Sir, my sister just died.So,


    about our deal-"


    "Are you saying that because your sister is no longer alive, you no longer have the reason to fight? If


    that were the case, even if she hadn''t died and were still alive, she would most likely be disappointed in


    you.Am I right?"


    "How did you know?" Caroline asked confused as she struggled to get up from the ground.


    Instead of answering her, he dodged the question as he spoke once again.


    "Didn''t you ever think of avenging her?" The man asked with a seductive tone in his voice.


    Indeed, his voice was very amodating and attractive, but it wasn''t time for such a thing.


    He couldn''t change the fact that the girl''s heart was filled with anger at the moment.


    "Of course.I''ve thought about it!"


    Caroline looked at the vi in the distance.


    "I will kill them both.The man couldn''t help but smirk at the girl''s determination."


    Is that so? You will kill them and suffer with them? Then there''s no need for you to express your


    grievances to your sister, Caroline''s heart skipped a beat as the man continued to talk.


    "What if you can prove that your sister''s death wasn''t due to an ident, but because of someone


    else''s recklessness? And, what if you can make the two of them beg for their lives for the rest of their


    lives?"The man had a point.


    But Caroline couldn''t think of anything else and was hoping that he could assist her in obtaining justice


    for her sister, so she asked him right away, "Sir, what do you have in mind?"


    "It''s the same thing.Just agree to my request and I swear, I will help you with all of these to solve the


    case of your sister." The man''s voice was calm, with unquestionable certainty.


    Caroline heaved a sigh of relief before she replied, "Then it''s settled.As long as you can help me, I am


    willing to agree to anything you ask me to do."


    After losing her only hope, she would definitely trade with this mysterious person in exchange for her


    sister''s peace.


    "Very good¡± The man said.


    "Meet me at the old ce.I''ll wait for you."


    Caroline hung up the phone and went straight to the vi.It was still the same asst time.So quiet and


    dim.


    As she pushed open the door, there was no trace of light in the room.


    Only a figure of the man stood in the middle of it.She did not hesitate and slowly got rid of her top


    before taking off the rest of her clothes.

 Chapter 9: The Baby Was Born

    Chapter 9: The Baby Was Born


    A yearter.


    "Miss, try harder!"


    "The head ising out!"


    "Alright,e out,e out!"


    "It''s a boy!"


    Busy sounds wereing and going in and out of the room.


    Caroliney weakly on the bed after giving birth to her child.Her gaze was turning towards the child in


    the doctor''s hand.


    "My baby!" Her voice was soft and happy.


    But her body was soaked in sweat.


    The doctor carried the child over and showed him to her.


    Caroline''s lips instantly curled into a smile.


    Still, she couldn''t forget that she had lost her younger sister.


    In the past year, she hadn''t ever seen the true face of the mysterious owner of the pawnshop.


    However, she had a baby with him who was rted to him by blood.


    "Can you let me give him a hug?" She asked softly.


    The doctor shook his head and said, "We still need to find out if the baby is healthy.We''ll talk about it


    after your baby has been washed and presented to his father.The excitement in her eyes suddenly


    faded away after she heard the doctor speak, "Ah, right."


    She knew that even giving birth to a baby was part of their deal, so she didn''t have any qualifications to


    hold the baby at all.So she closed her eyes and took a nap instead.


    But when Caroline woke up again, she was already in a separate ward.


    Her maid, Marisa, saw her get up, so she immediately handed her a bowl of porridge.


    "Miss, are you hungry? Please, have something to eat." The maid politely offered.


    Caroline was indeed hungry.She leaned against the bed and started eating.Then she asked, "Where is


    the baby?"


    "The baby is with his father.Don''t worry, Miss.You are the mother of the baby.You''ll see him soon and


    you still need to breastfeed your baby." Marisa said.


    Her maid had a point, but she didn¡¯t want to stay at the hospital.It was so quiet and too private.


    Even for once, she wanted to see the light outside to encourage herself.


    Whether having a baby was only a part of the deal, she still had the right to embrace her child.


    "Can I be discharged now?" Caroline asked.


    "I want to see the baby."


    "Yes, but you have to wait.Sir said that you can leave tomorrow" Marisa said.


    The next day, As Caroline returned to the vi, Marisa came over with the child in her arms.


    "Miss, the child may be hungry.Would you like to feed him?"


    "Sure!" Caroline nodded and took the baby right away.


    Her eyes were finally filled with longing and happiness.


    That year, with the help of that mysterious man, shepletely gathered evidence one by one.


    Now that the evidence in her hands was enough to bring Riane and Aldrich to justice, she wouldn''t


    waste the chance.However, just to be sure, she still needed the most crucial video to put them down.


    ¡®How?¡¯ she asked herself.


    Caroline got carried away.


    The baby in her arms appeared to have been sucking for a while, but he could not extract any milk.He


    immediately became upset and started to cry.


    "Oh baby.Mommy is sorry!"


    Caroline gently patted her child''s back to calm him down and continued to try feeding him.Her heart


    was filled with joy as she was staring at him.She lowered her head and kissed the baby''s tender


    forehead.


    Caroline worked hard in her spare time that day to learn new things.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    She had assumed that once the baby was separated from her, her rtionship with that mysterious


    man would be over.


    So as soon as possible, she needed to settle down her business in this world.


    One of them was to bring Aldrich and her sister Riane down.


    But, she wasn''t confident if the man would agree to raise the baby with her.


    Her parents and younger sister died, but now that she had a child, she nned to live a happy life after


    avenging her sister.


    Another half a year passed in a sh.


    A City Court officially held a public trial on Charlene''s death more than a year ago.


    Caroline, dressed in a ck business suit, appeared in the intiff''s stand.


    Aldrich and Riane were on the defendant''s stand.


    The current Riane had already be a leading star, so many media reporters had alsoe to


    compete for the headlines on the day of the trial.


    But as soon as Caroline sat down, Aldrich''s gaze suddenly turned over, staring at her.

 Chapter 10: Take Them to Court!

    Chapter 10: Take Them to Court!


    After more than a year of absence, Caroline seemed to be slightly fatter than before.She did not wear


    any makeup, but her cheeks were fair, and her facial features were still as pure as Aldrich


    remembered.


    However, she seemed to have an indescribable tenderness.


    To his surprise, even his gaze was not filled with hatred as it had been back then.


    Instead, it was indifferent, and it caught his attention.


    Riane saw that Aldrich was looking at Caroline.


    Because of that, her heart began to fill with anger once again.


    However, because there were media reporters all over the court, she couldn''t explode and let her


    emotions control her.


    If she did, it would definitely be the end of her career.


    She only whispered softly to Aldrich¡¯s ears as she clung to his arm, "Darling, I''m a little scared¡±


    "My girl, what are you afraid of?"


    Aldrich¡¯s eyes were frank, "There''s no need to be afraid of things we haven''t done."


    "But this Caroline suddenly came out after a year and a half of her disappearance.I''m afraid that she


    has fabricated some evidence to bring us down¡± Riane leaned timidly against Aldrich¡¯s shoulder.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    "You know, I''m a public figure.It''s already a headache to be involved in such a thing.I''m really afraid that


    she''ll spill a dirty image on me.That woman can do anything and it will surely ruin my reputation!"


    "Hush, my girl.Don''t be afraid.You have me and the Stanley family,'''' Aldrich said gently.


    "The Stanley Corporation was saved by you back then, so the entire Stanley Corporation will support


    you now"


    When Riane heard what Aldrich had said, her expression stiffened slightly.


    Apart from Caroline, Aldrich''s secretary knew about her impersonation, starting from sending many


    vulgar pictures of Caroline and Aldrich together, which had caused Charlene to feel guilt and leave her


    room.


    However, Riane also knew something about Aldrich''s secretary, so she had guessed that his secretary


    wouldn''t confess a thing about her.


    Caroline''s unexpected appearance,bined with her certainty that she would win, filled her heart with


    suspicion.


    The judge had dered a hearing, "Both parties¡¯ counsel seems to be present, and the intiff''s


    counsel will speak first? "Your honor, on behalf of my client, I will file awsuit against the death of my


    client''s sister named Charlene Nigel, a year and a half ago¡± thewyer said as he took out the


    document.


    "Here, I have the report of Miss Charlene¡¯s case from the police and some correspondence records at


    that time."


    Riane ufortably sat in the dock with her hand clenched tightly under the table.She was pretty


    confident that she used an unknown number on that MMS back then, so no one should be able to trace


    it.


    Unfortunately, thewyer announced the number that widened her eyes in shock.


    "This number belongs to Miss Riane.When she used this number, she did not use her Caller ID.She


    thought that the number was anonymous, but she didn''t realized that she had use this number to buy


    game coins after she got the number.This game coin was used for the game equipment registered


    under her ID card"


    With that, he presented the relevant evidence.


    Riane''s expression instantly changed as if she had fallen into the pool of ice.


    But the momentter, herwyer whispered to her and gave her a hint.


    "Even if the other party could confirm that the number was yours, it could only be said that you sent


    those messages to Charlene, but it did not mean that Charlene¡¯s death was rted to you."


    But Riane''s heart shattered once more.


    Again, it was because the opposing party presented new evidence.


    "This is the video of Miss Charlene leaving the hospital where Miss Riane sent those messages" The


    intiff''swyer said before ying the video.


    A picture of the entrance to the hospital appeared on the big screen.


    Caroline sat in the intiff''s seat and looked at the figure that appeared in the picture.


    Immediately, her eyes reddened uncontrobly.


    She had seen this scene more than once, and she constantly thought that if she could return to the


    past, she would definitely not leave her sister that day, so no matter what Riane said to Charlene, she


    would stop her sister from leaving the hospital.


    However, there was no going back.


    ¡®¡®Only if I could travel back in time¡±

 Chapter 11: Video Proof

    Chapter 11: Video Proof


    In the video, after Charlene left the hospital, she took a taxi with a close-up license te number shown


    on it.The taxi''s trajectory appeared not long after.It drove to a hotel.


    Then, Charlene got out of the taxi and went straight into the hotel.


    Aldrich was in the dock and his eyes suddenly widened at what he just saw.


    Riane''s entire body trembled.


    ¡®I had already hired someone to destroy the surveince cameras outside the hotel, so why would they


    still have this footage"


    ¡®What method did Caroline use to restore a destroyed video?¡¯ she thought.


    She was extremely anxious at this point, her entire body trembled uncontrobly.It was already at the


    hotel when she calmed down.


    Charlene entered the elevator and pressed the button.Then, she was already upstairs.It was the floor


    that Aldrich used to go to.She walked to the room''s door and rang the doorbell.


    The door opened immediately.


    Aldrich was the one who opened the door.


    The video ended when Charlene entered the room because there were no cameras in the room.


    The intiff''swyer turned to Aldrich and asked, "Mr.Stanley, what did you and Miss Charlene do in


    the room?"


    "Objection!" the defendant''swyer said before Aldrich could respond.


    He continued, "The person in the video is not Miss Charlene at all, but the intiff at this moment, Miss


    Caroline!"


    The court was in an uproar as Aldrich looked at thewyer with skepticism.Hiswyer took out a stack


    of photos and said, "Everyone, take a look.This is a photo of Miss Caroline arriving at this hotel to date


    my client, Mr.Aldrich.Miss Caroline hade to the hotel on her own, given the fact that they had been


    together for two years.Everyone knows that Miss Caroline and Miss Charlene are twin sisters, there''s


    no need for me to reveal who is in the video, right?"


    Everyone looked at Caroline suspiciously as soon as he finished speaking.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Of course, there were also gossiping reporters who were constantly taking pictures.


    After all, Aldrich and Caroline were just trying to catch wind of what had happened before, but now,


    those ambiguous photographs could not be more urate.


    Riane''s face turned pale.She was so angry that her entire body trembled.


    Although she had long known about Aldrich and Caroline''s previous events and had seen them more


    than once, she was well aware that there was a huge difference between being hidden and being


    exposed in public.


    Caroline''swyer didn''t panic when he heard the defendant''swyer''s rebuttal.


    "I would like to ask your honor to rey the video in order to ascertain whether the person in it is Miss


    Caroline or Miss Charlene.I need to carefully look at the footage¡± Caroline''swyer said.


    As a result, thewyer traced the scene back to Charlene''s outfit when she left the hospital and her


    outfit when she entered the hotel.


    He zoomed in on Charlene in front of the elevator and said, "Everyone, please pay attention to this


    scene.Now, I need to summon a witness to the court¡±


    A blonde man entered the courtroom soon after.


    Everyone looked at him with skepticism, wondering why thewyer had summoned him to testify and


    what he had to do with the case.


    "Thank you for your testimony, Mr.George."


    Thewyer nodded slightly at him and said, "Everyone, pay attention to the video on the big


    screen.The gentleman standing in the elevator is Mr.George."


    After he reminded them, everyone realized that there was really someone in the elevator.He could be


    seen clearly because he was facing the camera.


    "Now, everyone, let''s look at another set of videos."


    Thewyer then took out another video after he finished speaking.Editor''s Comment: I''m so thrilled to


    know the truth!

 Chapter 12: Did You Have Sexual Intercourse?

    Chapter 12: Did You Have Sexual Intercourse?


    The video was particrly clear since it was from a different angle.


    After George walked out of the elevator and brushed past Charlene, he went to the front desk to do


    business.


    One of the close-ups showed the mark on the back of Mr.George''s hand.


    "Your honor, I still have Mr.George''s entry and exit records in Canada, as well as the hotel records."


    Thewyer said and handed over the evidence, "Mr.George came to City A for the first time that day"


    Riane couldn''t sit still after hearing this and felt uneasy.She frowned at herwyer once more, as


    though she was trying her hardest to think.


    "Mr.George, I''d like to ask you a few questions" The judge said.


    "Sure, your honor¡¯ George said and nodded.


    "Have you seen the girl in the video?" The judge asked.


    "I''d remember seeing her before because it was my first time in City A.Plus, she''s a special girl, so I''ll


    remember her."


    Mr.George remarked, "She''s frail, dressed in a hospital gown and walks as if she''ll fall over at any


    moment.I''m a doctor so I can tell that she''s sick and has a lung condition just by looking at her"


    "Do you think you mistook Miss Caroline for Miss Charlene? Let''s suppose that the girl in the hospital


    gown you saw that time was this intiff..." The judge asked.


    "No."


    George affirmed, "I''ve been a doctor for more than twenty years and I can tell if someone is sick just by


    looking at them.If the intiff had not been sick, no matter how believable her disguise was, she could


    not have deceived my eyes."


    Everyone''s expressions changed all of a sudden.It turned out that Charlene had really been to the hotel


    and met Aldrich.


    ¡®There seems to be no need to guess what Aldrich and Charlene had done in the hotel room!¡¯ The


    intiff''swyer then turned to Aldrich and said, "Mr.Stanley, the question is the same as before.What


    did you and Miss Charlene do in the room?"


    Aldrich''s expression was terrible.He clenched his fists and remained silent.Hiswyer said, "My client


    .."


    "Mr.Stanley, please answer directly."


    The intiff''swyer interrupted.


    The veins on Aldrich¡¯s forehead became more evident but he still answered, "I thought it was Caroline


    with me in the room.I thought it was her who came looking for me"


    "So, did the both of you had sexual intercourse?" The intiff''swyer added.


    "We already had that kind of rtionship" Aldrich replied as he averted his gaze.


    "Please answer my question directly"


    Thewyer''s expression was cold and he said, "Did you had sexual intercourse?"


    "Yes,'''' Aldrich said, clenching his teeth.


    Immediately, the court was in an uproar.


    "You and Miss Riane were already married at the time but you had sexual intercourse with Miss


    Charlene even after the wedding."


    The intiff''swyer asked, "Can I take it then that you have no moral bottom line?"


    Aldrich almost couldn''t sit still, his breathing rapid, and he coldly said, "I drank wine and felt


    ufortable all over, so I couldn''t control myself¡±


    Everyone in the court couldn''t help but be shocked by the turn of events.


    ¡®Why was Aldrich unable to control himself at that time? What was wrong with the wine?¡¯


    "Next, I have summoned the hotel waiter to testify." The intiff''swyer added.


    Soon after, a young man walked into the court.


    Riane''s expression drastically changed when she saw the young man.


    "Your name is Andy Davids, isn''t it?"


    After the other party took the witness oath, the intiff''swyer asked, "Have you seen the defendant?"


    Andy looked at the dock.


    He hesitated for a moment when he saw Aldrich, "I might have seen him but I''m not sure"


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    After saying that, he then turned his gaze to Riane.


    "I''ve seen Miss Lewis before," he said, looking at her.


    Editor''s Comment: I''m curious as to why the hotel waiter, Andy, looked at Riane as if there''s something


    they''re hiding.

 Chapter 13: Bottle Of Wine

    Chapter 13: Bottle Of Wine


    Riane''s face immediately turned pale.


    The intiff''swyer asked, "Please describe in detail the process of meeting the defendant."


    Andy said, "I was on duty that day.Miss Lewis came to see me and said she''d pay me if I help her with


    two things."


    "What two things?" Thewyer asked.


    "The first thing is to destroy the hotel''s surveince system."


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Andy said, "I agreed because she offered me a hundred thousand dors.But when I went to destroy it,


    I bumped into a colleague, so I just turned off the switch randomly.I''m not sure if it worked, but when I


    came out, all I could say was that it was done"


    "The second one is for me to deliver a bottle of wine to a room.I remember the room number.It''s the


    presidential suite for Mr.Stanley on the top floor"He added.


    "I was a little scared since I knew it was Mr.Stanley''s room, so even if she gave me money, I wouldn''t


    go."


    "But then Miss Lewis took off her clothes and had sex with me and I couldn''t think straight after that.


    She then instructed me to take the spiked bottle of wine to Mr.Stanley''s room."


    "But then Miss Lewis took off her clothes and had sex with me and I couldn''t think straight after that.


    She then instructed me to take the spiked bottle of wine to Mr.Stanley''s room."


    "Nonsense, you''re spouting lies!"


    Riane¡¯s entire body copsed as she heard what he said.


    "Did Caroline pay you to perjure yourself?" she asked angrily, standing up and pointed at Andy.


    Andy drew his phone from his pocket and shrunk his neck "I thought she was attractive, so I secretly


    recorded and saved a video.From time to time, I took it out to watch ...I found out her identity afterward


    when she became famous"


    Everyone present in the court was shocked.


    Riane trembled and turned to Aldrich, who was less than half a meter away, and said, ¡®Aldrich, believe


    me, this man was paid to say nonsense! Also, the video in his hand must be fake, don''t believe him!"


    "Really?" Aldrich¡¯s expression was cold.


    "How do you exin that bottle of wine? If he doesn''t know anything, how would he know what kind of


    wine was delivered?"


    "Silence!"


    The judge said, "Defence counsel, do you have any evidence?"


    The defendant''swyer knew at this point that they were going to lose.However, he still gave evidence


    that he was dying to present.


    "My client loved each other very much.This is a record of Miss Riane''s bank transfers when she helped


    Madam Stanley throughout their crisis.Your honor, please take a look at it."


    When the bank transfer record was submitted, the prosecution¡¯swyer said, "That record is fake


    because we have already asked the relevant bank personnel to retrieve the real record at that time"


    With that, he said, "Two witnesses, please appear in court."


    Soon after, a man and a woman appeared in court.


    The prosecutionwyer introduced he two witnesses, "Your honor, I have here Mr.Stanley''s former


    secretary and the bank data management, who can prove that the transfer records in my hands are


    true."


    The bank data management said, "The evidence in Mr.Johnson''s hand is true.After doing a verification,


    the funds transferred to the Stanley family were transferred from Miss Caroline''s ount"


    Aldrich abruptly turned his head, his eyes wide with surprise and disbelief.


    Mr.Johnson turned to the female witness and said, "Miss Jackson, you were Mr.Stanley''s secretary, but


    you resigned two years ago.Why?"


    Miss Jackson hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Because I was coerced by Miss Lewis.I went


    to the nightclub five years ago since my mother was sick and didn''t have enough money but Miss


    Lewis knew about it and threatened me.She threatened to publish the photo and tell my mother if I


    didn''t listen to her.I didn''t have a choice but to follow her orders."

 Chapter 14: A Recording

    Chapter 14: A Recording


    "Please describe in detail what her orders are." thewyer asked.


    "Usually, she asks me to report President Stanley''s schedule and what kind of woman I''ve seen"


    Miss Jackson added, "The other thing is that Miss Caroline raised the money and came to see


    President Stanley when the Stanley family was in trouble.Because of Miss Lewis¡¯ previous orders, I told


    her about it and she told me to tell President Stanley that she earned the money through hard work."


    Hearing this, Aldrich felt a buzzing sound in his ears.


    For a moment, he was unable to control his body at all.


    "Riane, tell me this isn''t true" he said, his eyes turned fiery and locked with Riane''s.


    Riane''s face was filled with panic.


    "They''re all lying! They''re lying! Aldrich, believe me, I would never do such a thing!" She said and


    shook her head.


    Aldrich knew the truth the moment her expression changed to panic.


    He stared nkly at Caroline in the intiff''s dock.


    Coincidentally, she met his gaze when she turned around and her eyes were filled with rage.


    Aldrich suddenly had difficulty breathing as if something had blocked his throat.


    His chest rose and fell as if he wanted to call her.


    Suddenly, plenty of images shed across his mind.


    A few years ago, he fell in love with her at first sight.Her gentleness, her kindness, her eyes were filled


    with starlight every time she looked at him.


    Afterward, he confessed to her, and she happened to like him, so she epted his confession and


    started dating him.


    He was the Stanley Corporation''s sessor at the time and she was the Nigel Family''s eldest young


    miss.


    They were a perfect match for each other and they expected everything to go smoothly.


    Until something unexpected happened to hispany and she left him ...


    It turned out that she never left him.He was depressed at that time.


    She was not around when he asked her out.


    He thought she hated him at that time.


    Now, he finally understood what she meant when she said she was busy, it was for the Stanley


    Corporation.


    No wonder she had asked him a lot of times if something was wrong but he became distant with her.


    He used her as a tool to vent his physiological desires and in those two years, they had changed from


    passionate lovers to shameful lovers.He humiliated her repeatedly and her gaze at him gradually lost


    its original brightness.


    She had been preupied during that time because of her sister''s illness but he thought she was


    giving up all her dignity for money.


    The more he looked down on her, the more he vented on her, letting the feelings between them run


    wild until nothing was left!


    ''Her sister is waiting for treatment at the ICU but what about me? After humiliating her, I held that


    scheming girl, Riane, in my palm!


    ¡®Haha, no wonder I didn''t feel well after drinking a little that day.No wonder I vaguely felt that the girl


    beneath me had be especially thin.So it turned out that it was Riane''s n!"


    Aldrich suddenly turned to look at the cunning and deceiving woman in front of him.


    "What are you plotting against Charlene? She didn''t disappoint you in any way!"


    "Aldrich, it''s none of my business.I have no idea what you''re talking about!"


    Riane could only deny it at this point.She had no idea what she would face if she was found guilty.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    "Everyone, silence!"


    The judge said again.


    The prosecution''swyer presented evidence once more, "Miss Charlene received a phone call and an


    MMS from Miss Lewis on the day she died.On the big screen, everyone can see the contents of the


    MMS"


    "As for the phone call, although it cannot be restored, Miss Charlene has made a recording on her


    phone.Everyone can listen to it." He said and arranged for the recording to be yed.


    Editor''s Comment: I¡¯m thrilled to know what is in the recording!

 Chapter 15: She Was Murdered

    Chapter 15: She Was Murdered


    It was Riane¡¯s voice, "Charlene, do you realize how filthy your sister has be? She slept out the


    entire payment of your treatment!"


    Charlene panted, "I can''t believe you defamed my sister!"


    Riane said, "Haha, did I defame her? Why don''t you go check it out for yourself? Is she not by your


    side now? Because she went to sleep with Aldrich again! You can go to Room 2808 of the Ocean


    Shipping Hotel and see for yourself, right?"


    That was the end of the recording.


    Caroline''s eyes turned red.


    She had also seen her sister''s phone at the time but Charlene could have deleted this recording at the


    time, so she couldn''t find it.


    Later, it was the mysterious man who requested that her phone be checked and recovered.


    Since then, the truth had been almostpletely restored.


    Therefore, it was Riane who plotted it, allowing Charlene to go to the hotel and meet Aldrich who had


    drunk spiked wine.


    Aldrich then treated her as Caroline and raped her.


    Such a thing happened to a patient who was already on the verge of death.


    It was almost thest straw that crushed her body.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    As for why she went to the Stanley family vi should have something to do with Aldrich''s conversation


    with her at the time.


    However, no one knew whether this part was true or false because Charlene had died and Aldrich was


    unconscious at the time.


    Finally, the prosecution''swyer said in a heavy tone, "Everyone, please take a look at the video of


    Miss Charlene leaving the hotel."


    She was still dressed in hospital gown and her body seemed even thinner as if she would copse at


    any moment.


    The hotel was not far from the vi area, so she stumbled all the way until she finally copsed on the


    roadside outside the Stanley family vi and was unable to get up again.


    Caroline looked at the scene of her younger sister''s death again, tears streaming down her face.


    The judge said, "Does the defensewyer have any evidence to offer?"


    They knew everything had been decided so they shook their heads and denied it.


    The judge then said, "Counsel for the prosecution and defense , please proceed with the closing


    arguments."


    Thewyer for the prosecution stood up first and said, "Your honor, everyone, Miss Charlene¡¯s death is


    clearly a deliberate murder"


    "Miss Lewis is an adult who is capable of knowing what is right and wrong.She nned for Miss


    Charlene to be raped even after she knew of her illness.She was well aware of the consequences of


    what would happen to Miss Charlene once she had sexual intercourse with Mr.Stanley"


    "Such a mentality toward my younger sister who grew up with me and ruining the rtionship between


    me and my boyfriend is already horrible!" Caroline said.


    "She clearly wants to kill Miss Charlene, as evidenced by her plot to do so! Therefore, on behalf of my


    client, I demand Miss Lewis to be charged with the murder of Miss Charlene.I also demand that


    Mr.Stanley to be charged with manughter!"


    His words, along with the videos, documents, and several witnesses, were extremely powerful.


    As a result, when he said it, everyone in the room couldn''t help but nod their heads.


    Everyone''s attention was drawn to Riane and Aldrich.


    This couple who had been envied by others for the past year was usually dressed well in front of the


    camera and worshiped by everyone, had secretly murdered Charlene and did dirty things to Caroline.


    Under their gorgeous exterior, they actually had such a rotten and dark heart! At this moment, Riane''s


    face had already turned ashen.


    She knew that she was finished.


    Editor''s Comment: I hope they get the justice they truly deserve and that those who did wrong be


    punished.

 Chapter 16: When the Tables Turn

    Chapter 16: When the Tables Turn


    Regardless of today''s judgment, Riane was finally ruined.


    In Aldrich''s heart, all the kindness that she showed to him was just an act and her evilness was finally


    revealed.


    After all of this, Aldrich would definitely not want her anymore.


    Perhaps he would shoo her away, just like how he dealt with Caroline back then.


    Her career was also ruined.


    As a celebrity, she could imagine that her social media ount had already been taken over by


    netizens.


    All of her endorsement ads, film and television contracts in the past had probably been ruined, and she


    would also face a high penalty for breach of contract because of her bad image.


    She was feeling tired as she sat on the chair.


    Yes, she had hoped that Charlene would die.


    She was even generous enough to let Aldrich slept with the woman so that when the day like this


    woulde, she wouldn''t be med for anything that happened.


    She did that on purpose because if Charlene died in Aldrich¡¯s hands, then she could also pull him into


    the water.


    They could be on the same boat.


    They could be together in the same situation.


    Aside from that, she knew that Caroline had such a good rtionship with her sister, that once she


    would find out that something happened between Charlene and Aldrich, she would never get back with


    him again.


    She had sacrificed her own man once because she believed that she would have eternal life with


    Aldrich.


    That''s why she did it.


    ¡®But how did Caroline find so much information?¡¯ she wondered.


    After the incident, she had used Aldrich¡¯s name to ensure that Caroline would not get a single job from


    anypany.


    She had also spread photos of Caroline''s exposed body all over the Inte.


    ¡®So in the end, Caroline should not have found a job and she shouldn''t have any money now, which


    means that she is also homeless¡±


    ¡®And no matter how beautiful she is, what is the use of it? Those photos show how dirty she is.Even if


    she will go to a clubhouse and dance on stage, no wealthy man will fall for her and give her money!¡¯


    ¡®So, how did she end up like this? How could it be!"


    While Riane was feeling mad and confused, Aldrich''swyer had already stood up to make his closing


    statement.


    "Hello, everyone.On behalf of my client, Miss Riane, I plead guilty to the charges."


    "What do you mean? When did I admit it?" Riane stood up quickly.


    At this moment, her face was filled with ferocity.


    She was very far from the graceful and generousdy that she had always been when she was in front


    of the camera.


    "Silence!"


    The judge frowned, "Defendant, it''s not time for you to speak"


    The defensewyer continued, "At the same time, I deny all charges on behalf of my client, Mr.Stanley.I


    will also sue Miss Riane, on behalf of Mr.Stanley for putting him into a situation a year ago, in which


    she set him up to have sex with other woman while he was unconcious."


    Riane felt like something ringed in her ears.


    Realization started to hit her.


    ¡®Aldrich and hiswyer was betraying me!"


    ¡®Instead of helping me to be free from this situation, they even pushed me down! No wonder, these two


    person were allies.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    And now that she was like this, no one would help her anymore.


    She knew that she had nowhere to go.


    On theinant''s side, Caroline''s lips curled up into a cold smile when she heard thewyer''s


    words.


    ¡®Now, the table has turn around¡¯¡¯ Carolineughed at the back of her mind.


    Unfortunately, she also knew that this evidence could not imprison Aldrich.


    After all, most of the incidents were nned by Riane, so Aldrich was not guilty.


    ¡®But what if he was passive? He was also one of the reason why Charlene died! Caroline''s eyes was


    filled with hatred.


    ''If this man could not be jailed, I will use another method to take revenge!¡¯


    One day, she wanted him to kneel in front of Charlene''s tomb and deeply repent! Editor''sment:


    Well! I''m excited for Caroline''s next step but there''s a part of me saying that her way of taking revenge


    might not do good anymore.

 Chapter 17: Im Happy Everything Went Well

    Chapter 17: I''m Happy Everything Went Well


    That day, as Riane guessed, the topic had already exploded in twitter.


    It seemed like this was the first time that awsuit issue hit the headline in twitter, instead of some


    trivial affairs about celebrities.


    Riane''s verdict came out on the same day.


    Although she was the mastermind of the whole attempted murder incident, it was still Charlene''s own


    will to personally go to the hotel.


    Riane already had an idea of her punishment, and true to her thought, she was sentenced to 25 years


    in prison.


    Caroline''s lips curled into a smile when she heard the verdict.


    ¡®If it was the death penalty, it would be too cheap for this woman¡±


    ''Riane is now 25 years old and she will remain in prison until she''s fifty.At that time, what else could she


    do?¡¯


    ¡®Moreover, if she would be imprisoned for so many years, she would be isted from the rest of the


    world.Perhaps she wouldn''t even be able to use her phone when shees out, right?¡¯


    Aldrich was acquitted because there was no direct evidence that he harmed Charlene during the whole


    process.


    In addition, he was also freed because he was unconscious when he had sex with her.


    However, that day, Aldrich took Riane to court again.


    On the other hand, Caroline came out of the courthouse and took a deep breath of fresh air.


    Instead of returning home, she went straight to Charlene''s tomb.


    The girl on the tombstone smiled as sweetly as she had remembered.


    Caroline put down the flowers and her eyes instantly turned red, "Charlene, I came to see you"


    "I haven''t visited for over a year because I don''t have the guts to see you before.Now that we already


    had our revenge, you can finally rest in peace.It''s just that Aldrich was aquitted.I haven''t sent him to


    prison yet.But don''t worry, I will work hard to fullymit the justice for you.Back then, I used to save


    him but it will be very different now because I will definitely destroy him!"


    "Charlene, Do you know that you already have a little nephew?"


    "He is a very cute little boy.Although he is only half a year old now and can''t even call me, he can


    already recognize people.He loves tough and giggle.Everyone likes him so much¡¯


    "When he will grow up, I''ll bring him here to see you"


    "Don''t worry about me.I''ll assure you that I will always be fine."


    The sky had already darkened, and Caroline had already left Charlene''s grave.She went all the way


    back to the vi.


    After more than a year, the ce still remained the same.


    It was still isted and seemed to be somewhat independent from the rest of the world.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Caroline opened the door and went inside.


    When Marisa saw her, she smiled at her and asked, "Miss, do you need a meal?"


    Caroline nodded and casually asked, "Has sir eaten yet?"


    "L sent his meal just now, Miss."


    Marisa answered and went back into the kitchen to work.


    Caroline went to her room to change clothes and went to see the baby.


    Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, she went to the dining room to eat first.


    She was in a hurry eating her meal.


    Perhaps because she was so happy today and she was excited to share it with others.


    Even though the man still didn''t told her his name, she still wanted to tell him because for her, he


    already became part of her life, and the only person she relied on for more than a year.


    The bedroom door was tightly shut, and Caroline knocked lightly.


    "Come in" She heard the man''s deep voice from inside.


    Caroline pushed the door open and entered.


    It was still dark, but she was already ustomed to it.


    She was also ustomed to the faint and pleasant smell of the man in this room.


    "Sir, I''m back."


    She approached him and said, "I''m very happy that everything is going well.Riane is sentence to 25


    years but unfortunately, Aldrich was acquitted."

 Chapter 18: Leave in Two Months

    Chapter 18: Leave in Two Months


    "Then what is the result that you are expecting?" The man asked normally.


    "Actually, I am already expecting this oue even before, but I''m still a little unhappy.However, it


    doesn''t matter.The days are still long.Who knows what will happen in the future?" Caroline sighed.


    The man was silent.


    He walked to the bedside and looked at the thick curtains.


    "They are already convicted and I already did my part as what I have promised to you back then." He


    said in a calm way.


    Caroline stopped breathing and even though she already had an idea, she still asked "Sir, what do you


    mean?"


    "The child can be weaned in two months, right?"


    The man continued, "After half a year old, breast milk is not necessary at all, so you only need to


    breastfeed him for another two months."


    "Sir--"


    Caroline''s eyes turned red.She wanted to cry.She knew that this day woulde sooner orter.


    The day when she signed the agreement, she knew she was already doomed.


    She had a child but she was not allowed to apany her son for the rest of her life.


    However, she was still hoping that the man would change his mind and would let her raise their baby


    together.But now, it was obvious that she had failed.


    "I will arrange a good job for you, but in two months-"


    Suddenly, the man was cut-off by his own words.Then, Caroline heard a sound of something heavy


    landing on the ground.She hurriedly turned around and was shocked.


    Though it was dark inside, she was already used to the darkness and was able to move exactly where


    the man was.


    "Sir, what''s wrong with you?"


    Her voice was trembling and she was feeling nervous without noticing it.The man seemed to be woken


    up by her words, so he reacted.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    He reached out and grabbed her arm, "Don''t turn on the light, call the doctor¡±


    "Alright, I''ll go find a doctor immediately."


    As soon as Caroline finished talking, she turned around and strode out.


    Outside, Marisa saw her nervous expression and couldn''t help but asked, "Miss, what''s wrong?"


    "Sir has fainted" Caroline said.


    At this moment, the baby in the nursery also cried.


    "The baby may be hungry.You can go and check for your son, miss.I''ll be the one to call the doctor"


    Marisa said.


    Caroline nodded and went to carry the baby.


    The little one seemed to have smelled his mother''s scent.


    Although his eyes was still closed, when Caroline picked him up, he stopped crying right away.


    Caroline put him in her arms and spoke softly, "Baby, are you hungry? Mommy will feed you now,


    okay?"


    After saying that, she lifted the hem of her top.


    The baby was cheerful as he drank his milk.


    On the other hand, Marisa had already called the doctor.


    After that, she went to the man''s room to check on his condition.


    The man was still lying on the carpet.


    Fortunately, the house was warm even though it was winter, so it would not cause him to catch a cold.


    Not long after, the doctor arrived. At this time, Caroline had already finished breastfeeding and was


    anxiously waiting in the room with her baby in her arms.


    "Miss, you and the baby should go out first.I''ll check the situation for you." The doctor said calmly.


    Caroline nodded but before she turned around and left the room, she asked, "He suddenly fainted.Is it


    very serious?"


    "He''s fine." The doctor only said this before closing the door.


    Caroline had no choice.


    Although they had been sleeping together for more than a year, she still didn''t have an idea of the


    man''s name, appearance, or identity.She sighed and carried the baby to the nursery.She put the baby


    on the carpet and yed with him.


    The baby loved tough, just like what Caroline said to Charlene.He smiled and widened his eyes


    when she teased him casually.


    Suddenly, Caroline thought of what the man had said, that she would have to leave in two months.


    As she was thinking about it, she felt as if her heart had been torn apart.

    Chapter 19: At Least I''m Here to See You off for the Last Time


    She kissed her son and spoke in a low voice, "Charles, will you forget me?"


    Obviously, the child didn''t understand what she said.He only felt that Caroline''s kiss made his cheeks


    tickle.He also liked this kind of touch, so he giggled.


    Caroline''s eyes turned red at the sight of her cute son, she wanted to cry but she tried to make herself


    laugh.She looked at her son''s innocent face and asked, "Charles, do you think Dad will be fine?"


    The baby didn''t react, he was just ying with the toy in his hand.


    "I hope he¡¯s fine." Caroline said.


    Outside, Marisa passed by nursery.When she heard those words, her eyes suddenly turned red.She


    was touched by Caroline''s words.


    For the past few years, she had watched her boss suffered like this.


    It was rare for him to have a woman by his side.


    Although this woman seemed to have a bad reputation outside, she clearly saw that Caroline was a


    good woman, kind-hearted and meticulous in taking care of her baby.


    Now, despite the fact that her husband was chasing her away, Caroline was still worried about his


    health.


    However, Caroline could not change her husband''s decision, so the only thing she could do was to


    heaved a sigh.


    In the next room, the doctor only lit a dim yellow light in the corner of the room, barely able to see the


    man''s blood vessels.Then, he drew two tubes of blood.


    When he already got the blood, he quickly turned off the light and went out to start the test.


    Not long after, he returned to man''s bedroom and said without hesitation, "It''s getting worse."


    When the man in bed heard this, he didn''t seemed surprise.


    He just said, "How much time do I have?"


    "At most half a year"


    Dr.Leo Wilson said and continued, "But that''s good.Your son is here, and your family has a sessor."


    "Yes."


    The man replied, "Alright, now I know.You can go."


    "Are you still unwilling to go out for a treatment?"


    Dr.Wilson asked.


    "Even if I go out, the result will still be the same, right?"


    The man''s tone was calm as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.


    "You''ve been lying here, aren''t you just waiting to die?"


    Dr.Wilson obviously knew him well, so he spoke impolitely.


    "Whether I go out or not, I will still die anytime soon.So what''s the difference?" The man raised his


    voice.


    "Alright, alright.I''ll stop convincing you now."


    Dr. Wilson said helplessly, "But, I will always tell you this, what if there is a miracle?"


    "We''ve known each other for more than 20 years.I''m 28 this year and I''ve already passed the age of


    expecting miracles.If there is really a miracle, then my father .."" the man said calmly and didn''t finished


    his sentence.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Then what will you do?"


    The doctor changed the subject, "How about that woman and your son?"


    "I will hire the best teacher to nurture my son.As for her .."


    The man slightly paused and continued, "I will let her live the rest of her life without worrying about food


    and clothing."


    "I can say just now that she cares about you."


    Dr.Wilson patted the man on his shoulder and said, "Actually, you still have half a year.Why don''t you


    try a rtionship?"


    When the man heard this, he sneered and said, "It''s not like what you said"


    "You have this disease for so many years.Now, I''ll ask you, have you ever enjoyed a day of your life?"


    Dr.Wilson was a bit mad, he was really concerned with the man.


    "You''re twenty-eight, not eighty-eight.Why don''t you take the liberty to be happy till the end of your life?"


    "I''m used to it."


    The man didn''t seem to care at all, "Time has no meaning nor difference to me."


    "Alright, alright, alright.You can see through the mortal world."


    Dr.Wilson got up and was about to leave, "If you feel something wrong with your body, remember to call


    me.We''ve known each other for so many years and you know that I am always willing to help you until


    yourst breath¡±


    "Alright" The man replied.


    Dr.Wilson opened the door and left.

 Chapter 20: None of Them Can Live Past 30

    Chapter 20: None of Them Can Live Past 30


    Outside, Caroline saw the doctore out and hurriedly ran over, "Doctor, how is he?"


    "He''s fine, He won''t die for the time being." Dr.Wilson hesitated.


    Caroline knew that something was wrong.


    Ever since she stepped foot on this Vi, she had always thought that there must be a reason why the


    man didn''t let her see his face, that every time they were in a bedroom, he would close the curtains.


    But after she gave birth to a child, she didn''t think about it anymore.She also found out that the man


    would not even go out during the day.


    He would always be in the bedroom or the study area.


    She knew that he was a man with a huge fortune.She also heard him mentioning business matters


    many times.


    He seemed to know everything about the outside world like the back of his hand.


    Sometimes, she would hear him make phone calls about work.


    However, he was always in the dark as he did all of this.


    He hadn''t touched her since their baby was born, and she was supposed to stay in a room outside but


    the servant asked her to take care of her husband inside.She had nothing against about it.


    Now that she was staying in his room, she was more at ease.


    The man suddenly fainted for no reason and the doctor had just checked the blood test results outside


    in a bright ce, so Caroline had to confirm one thing.


    ¡®The reason why the man was in the darkness was because he couldn''t see the light!¡¯


    ¡®He must have some kind of rare illness that''s why he is like this!¡¯ she thought.


    At this moment, the doctor''s hesitation confirmed Caroline''s spection.


    Seeing that the other party didn''t say anything, she knew that it must be very confidential and she was


    not sure if it would be a good thing for the maid to hear it, so she thought of something and turned her


    attention to her.


    "Marisa, please help me carry the baby.I remember that I left a delivery box at the door¡¯ she reasoned


    out.


    Marisa did not suspect her and went to the nursery to coax the baby.


    Caroline immediately turned her attention to the doctor and said?''l''ll send you off.


    At the door, Caroline no longer beat around the bush.


    Instead, she directly confronted Dr.


    Wilson, "Doctor, tell me honestly, is he seriously ill?"


    Dr.Wilson saw that her expression was serious and the concern in her eyes was real, so he stopped


    and said, "He is about to kick you out.If he is really sick, you should be happy.At least your child may


    not be taken away."


    "He''s Charles¡¯ father."


    Caroline said with a serious expression, "Yes, I am sad because he want us to separate.However, he is


    still the father of my son and I am hoping that Charles will grow up with aplete family.Even if I can''t


    apany him all the time, at least both of his parents are still alive."


    Dr.Wilson¡¯s expression changed and he finally sighed, "I''m afraid your hopes will be in vain."


    "What do you mean?" Caroline''s heart sank as she was having a bad premonition.


    "He has a rare hereditary disease.His father got sick shortly after he was born."


    The doctor continued, "The illness cannot be seen.If we really need to look at it, his skin will


    fester.Moreover, the illness cannot be cured.Even if it can be avoided, there is no preceding history of


    someone who survived this illness at past 30 years of age."


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Caroline''s eyes suddenly widened and her heart seemed to be tightly gripped by a pair of invisible


    hands.


    Her lips trembled, "And now he--"


    "He might only have half a year left"


    Dr.Wilson shook his head.


    "I''m his friend, but I can''t persuade him.Actually, I want him to go to a medical facility outside but he


    said that no one in the world can cure him.He is very hopeless and just want to suffer.That man has a


    cowardly attitude.He already decided and it''s useless for us to say anything!"


    Upon hearing this, Caroline''s heart started beating faster, "If he will go outside for a treatment, is there


    a glimmer of hope?"

 Chapter 21: The Secret of the Ring Basically, no.

    Chapter 21: The Secret of the Ring Basically, no.


    "That''s the problem¡± Doctor Wilson said with a shrug.


    Because that doesn''t mean that, if it didn''t appear in the past, it will not appear now.


    "What if a miracle happened?"


    "Then I will try my best to convince him."


    Caroline took a deep breath, knowing how impossible it was for her to persuade a man in such a


    difficult situation.


    The doctor was a little surprised and nodded, "Talk to him about it and give it a try"


    "Right, Charles was born with blood from his umbilical cord.Does that have a chance of curing him?"


    Caroline asked.


    "I made several attempts before.It''s just a total waste of time"


    The doctor speaks in very low tones.


    "By the way, do you have any idea why he chose you? "


    Caroline waspletely unaware of what was going on around her.And began to tone it down.


    "Because of your lineage"


    The Doctor said, "Your mother''s ring actually represents your family''s bloodline.He has been looking for


    this all this time, but he doesn''t know that your mother married your father under a different name.He is


    a person with physical problems, and having a child with a normal person is also a problem.His parents


    are an example.So, it can only be you, no one else"


    "So, the secret has nothing to do with the ring? Is that what you''re saying?"


    Caroline waspletely taken by surprise when she realized the truth.


    "That''s right, the ring only represents a bloodline identity" the doctor said, "In the future, he should pass


    the ring on to your son.By the way, don''t worry, your son doesn''t have his illness.When he was born, I


    was able to verify it.None of the children you bear will be burdened in this way! Caroline took a deep


    breath and released a sigh of relief.When she thought about what the doctor had said, she realized that


    a man''s heart seemed to be dragged down after less than a year.She was so distracted when she


    returned to her room that she almost ended up in the wrong one.


    The nanny, who was bathing the baby, told her that the little boy had just pulled his daddy and pasted


    his butt cheeks.


    Caroline came over to help, bathed her son, applied baby bum cream, and turned him into a charming


    little baby in no time.


    Caroline carried the child to the man''s bedroom after bathing the baby, since the man¡¯s condition was


    not contagious.


    He''d already gotten out of bed and was leaning against the headboard, as though he was listening to


    music through headphones and stretched and flexed his knees to rx himself.


    "Is something the matter?" he asked indifferently as he heard Caroline''s voice.


    Caroline carried her son over, her voice carrying a hint of joy, "Cathy, why don''t we get dad to carry


    him?"


    She then approached the man and ced her son in his arms gently.


    All of a sudden, a soft, smooth tiny body came into his arms.


    The man reached out and hugged his son, trying to have a good look at his innocent little face.


    Despite his familiarity with the darkness, he could only roughly figure out the blurred outline.


    The little fellow, on the other hand, seemed to smell the presence of his father and giggled at him.


    The man''s heart began to beat faster and faster.


    There was this little touch of softness in a part of his heart.


    "Charles!"


    He addressed him by name and kissed the tender cheeks of the adorable child.


    The cuddly little fellow smiled and touched the man¡¯s chin with his small soft hand.


    When the child''s hand touches his chin, it rubbed against the man''s newly grown, pointed gray beard.


    As he was curious, the sweet little fellow rubbed it repeatedly.


    Caroline''s heart became a little more peaceful as a result of this moment, even though she couldn''t see


    it clearly.


    She had no idea what the man¡¯s health was like, and whether he would be tired after hugging and


    ying with the baby for a long time.


    So, she asked the man, "Sir, do you want to rest now?"


    "It''s all right."


    The man continued to make fun of his adorable son.


    However, probably because of the darkness of the room, the little fellow became unwilling after a while.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    He ttened his tiny mouth on his shoulder and hummed, as if he was holding back his tears.


    When Caroline saw this, she rushed over to the young fellow and said "Would the baby like to y with


    his toys?"


    "Okay, mother will take the baby to get the toys."

 Chapter 22: Sharing A Song

    Chapter 22: Sharing A Song


    The room became silent.The man lowered his head, looking at his empty embrace.


    In his heart, a feeling of sadness flowed.


    Outside, the little fellow yed with his mother for quite a while before falling asleep in her arms.


    She gently ced the tiny angel in the crib and kissed his sweet little face before getting up and leaving


    him nice and quiet.


    The man was a little surprised and confused.


    Normally, Caroline would note to the bedroom so early.


    Today, she seemed to be doing it on purpose.


    He felt the bed beside him suddenly crumbled, and then a familiar female figure appeared.


    Caroline seemed to have no idea how to convince the man beside her.


    In fact, she only knew very little about him and had only known him for more than a year.


    They were nothing more than just buddies.


    Despite the fact that they had spent a lot of time around each other, there had never been any real soul


    connection before.


    She paused for a moment before beginning to speak.


    "Today, I visited my sister''s grave."


    Caroline said, "I felt that she knew that I had avenged her.She should be at peace in the future."


    The man''s only response to her was silence.


    "By the way, I happened to pass by a hot pot restaurant today and saw that there was a long line at the


    entrance."


    Caroline made a few attempts to make the conversation longer.


    After she had finished speaking, she suddenly felt that she waspletely embarrassed, because she


    had never seemed to say these words to him before.


    It looked like they hadn''t even talked to each other for a long time.


    "You''ve really talked a lot today."


    The man, however, appeared to have noticed something.


    "Why?" he asked.


    Caroline took a deep breath and then replied, in a rxed manner, "I feel very happy since I have


    finally avenged my sister."


    Then she turned to him and said, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"


    After a few moments, the man replied contemptuously, "Nothing."


    Caroline exhaled softly to herself.She had no idea how to get this man to open up.She moved her body


    closer to him and stretched her hand.


    "You were just listening to music, right? Would you please listen to it for me?"


    But, as she reached out her hand, she unknowingly held his hand, not the earphone cord.His palms


    were dry and warm, much bigger than hers.


    The two of them seemed to be stunned.


    Immediately after, Caroline let go of his hand and said with an embarrassed smile, "I didn''t see it"


    They had done more intimate things before, but holding each other''s hands made their ears turn red


    right now.


    "Did Doctor Wilson say something to you?" The man suddenly asked.


    Caroline toughened up and immediately denied it.


    "No, he said, let me take good care of you and make you feel happy"


    "Nothing." The man said indifferently.


    Finally, he had lost all suspicion.


    Caroline sighed contentedly.She thought of something and stood up, saying, "I heard a song that day.It


    sounds very nice.Wait for me to get my phone."


    She got out of bed and walked outside afterwards.


    Caroline picked up her phone and plugged in the earphone cord.She returned to the bedside after


    ying a song.She sat down beside the man and gave him one of the earplugs.


    "Do you want to hear this?" she asked.


    The man took it and put it into his ear.


    So, with the gentle music, a captivating male voice could be heard.


    "This story begins with one person. I''m serious and wrote it for us.No one turned around during this


    period of fate.You also began to revise the script to make it more important for me."


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "You were originally alone in this existence."


    "You insisted on staying together until you became us.All the future, you agreed to wait together.The


    oath of youth has taken root, and your desire is deeper than anyone else''s."


    "Enter the door, turn on the lights, a family.The hands of the child, so gentle, walking side by side


    forever.You are affectionate, gaze at me and say, happiness is that you have me¡­¡±

 Chapter 23: Cant Bear to Part with You

    Chapter 23: Can''t Bear to Part with You


    The room was very quiet.They were sitting beside each other in bed, but neither of them spoke.They


    were listening to the song quietly.The ylist ran out of songs and went back to the first one again.


    Caroline continued listening.She started to speak to him, "The music is good, don''t you think?"


    However, the man beside him was already sleeping.


    Caroline had actually noticed already that in the past six months, she neglected her rtionship with


    him.She noticed that he had started bing cold as time went by.


    At this moment, Caroline suddenly felt heaviness in her heart.


    When she was at her lowest point, in pain and despair because of her own hatred, it was him who gave


    her the strength to feel better about life again.


    Even though their marriage was only arranged, they were still human beings, they have hearts.


    He meant something to Caroline, considering the 400 days and nights they were together.


    "Hey..." She called out softly to make sure that he was really asleep.


    He was.


    So she carefully helped him to lie down.


    It should be ten o''clock now.


    Caroline went to the bathroom and looked at the baby when she came out.


    The servant said that the baby was still sleeping soundly.


    She nodded and went back to the bedroom.Sheid down and covered herself with the nket.She


    remained awake because she couldn''t sleep at all.


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    As she approached the man beside her, she reached out and held his hand.She couldn''t identify what


    she was feeling.


    Caroline had lost her father, mother, and sister.


    Now, she''s also feeling like she was about to lose him too.


    They had experiences too.


    She didn''t want to lose him.She tightened her grip on the man¡¯s hand and whispered, "At first, I didn''t


    know your name nor what you look like.He was sleeping so no one answered her.


    "Actually, I was scared of you at first, but then at time went by, I saw you were actually very good


    person.I feel like our deal doesn''t even matter.I know it''s about to be over but you know, you still felt like


    family to me...You don''t have any rtives, do you? At least I haven''t seen them for half a year...Will


    you be lonely? Will you feel ufortable when you''re alone?"


    She almost only spoke to herself.


    Little did Caroline know, he was awake since the time sheid him down.


    Although he was still a little confused, he could clearly hear Caroline''s words.


    However, he did not move, nor did he respond.He just waited quietly, wanting to hear what she wanted


    to say.


    "Me, I would feel lonely.I only had my sister back then, and she left.I felt like I had no other purpose


    other than that revenge, and now, it''s almost ending.Even though Aldrich is alive, I bet he wouldn''t be


    happy and it would be also because of his own selfishness..."


    She didn''t talk for a minute.


    "And I also thought I was free, but our baby was born.I can''t bear to part with the baby.I want to see


    him grow up, help him with his studies, and see him get married and have children in the future.I want


    to watch him grow up with you ..."


    At this point, Caroline suddenly couldn''t continue.


    She sighed faintly, "I can''t bear to part with you either"


    Beside him, the man''s breathing suddenly became heavier for a moment.

 Chapter 24: Bastard Came Looking for Him

    Chapter 24: Bastard Came Looking for Him


    That night, Caroline talked a lot until she fell asleep.However, she did not let go of the man¡¯s hand.


    The next day, when Caroline woke up, she found herself in his arms.She was hugging his waist, while


    her arm rested on his other shoulder.Her leg was also on his body.She was shocked when she saw


    this.She hadn''t slept in such a position for a long time.


    The only few times were when she had just arrived and he had exhausted her.


    The two of them just fell asleep and woke up the next day to find that they were entangled together.


    Caroline reacted and hurriedly let go of the man, fearing that he would find her heavy.


    Her movements also woke him up.


    He removed his arm on her waist.


    "Good morning." Her voice soundedzy.


    "Good morning..." The man replied.


    "I''m going to see how the baby is doing." As Caroline spoke, she got up and went to the next room.


    The baby had already woken up and had just finished eating.


    His eyes lit up when he saw Caroline and looked like he wanted to go to her.


    Caroline watched over the baby.


    When she sensed that the baby wanted milk, she went to the kitchen.She saw their maid there, already


    preparing the baby''s milk.


    "Miss, is Sir awake?" She asked.


    "Yes...He is awake"


    Before the maid walked away to bring the milk, Caroline said, "I''ll do it"


    "Have you eaten yet Ma¡¯¡®am? I can watch over the baby while you eat your breakfast?" The servant


    said.


    "It''s fine, I''m not really hungry"


    When Caroline had already given the milk to the baby, she then prepared her husband''s breakfast and


    went to his study room.She saw him talking to someone wearing his headphones.


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Caroline had learned Japanese and could understand individual words, but she did not know what he


    was talking about.


    She just left the dining cart, took out the food one by one, and stood at the side waiting for him to finish


    calling.


    Only then did the man realize that it was her who came in.He hung up his phone and asked, "Why are


    you there? Is something wrong?"


    "No..."


    Caroline handed the bowl and chopsticks to him.


    She added, "I just wanted to ask you if you want toe with me and watch our baby crawl in the


    living room together, after you eat.."


    "Alright"


    The man answered and began to eat silently.


    After taking two bites, he asked, "Have you eaten yet?"


    "No, not yet.But yeah, I guess I''ll go eat now first too."


    Caroline smiled and turned around to leave.He watched her back and secretly smiled.


    After that, Caroline spent almost all of her time with the children and men.


    She only learned about Aldrich suing Riane and Riane had to pay hundred thousand dors in


    psychological damage plus three years in prisonter.


    Caroline realized she could actually casually talk to the man and he would gradually respond.


    They would always find a topic to talk about, especially about work.


    Caroline would go to work after she''d take care of the baby, so it''s only necessary that she learn about


    work from him.He was very knowledgeable.He had always been a confident speaker and had a high


    job position.


    It almost became normal¡ªshe would push the dining cart to his study after feeding the baby in the


    morning.


    She would eat with him while chatting about work.


    Like today, Caroline had just coaxed the baby and was about to go to the man''s study when her phone


    rang.


    She hesitated to answer it for a moment and answered, "Hello."


    She heard a familiar voice, "Caroline, it''s me?¡±

 Chapter 25: Ill Forgive You!

    Chapter 25: I''ll Forgive You!


    Caroline actually reacted for a few seconds before she could tell that it was Aldrich''s voice.


    Caroline was dumbfounded for a moment before answering.Her expression became pale.


    "Are you calling to apologize about my sister?"


    "Caroline, I just want to talk."


    Aldrich''s voice was gentle, "I haven''t seen you for a long time.I have a lot to say to you."


    Caroline sneered, "I don''t think we have anything to say between us."


    "Caroline, I''m sorry"


    Aldrich said in a low voice, "I''m sorry for everything that happened back then! It''s all my fault ...I''m


    willing to make it up to you.Please give me a chance and let''s meet!"


    "Aldrich, my sister is not here anymore! Do you think all that apology can ever bring her back?"


    She was breathing heavily.


    "Sorry, but no.Go to hell, Aldrich! The only way I''d forgive you is if you die too!"


    After saying that, she hung up the phone.


    Whether he meant to separate she and the baby, she needed to go to work in a few days.


    Thepany she wanted to go happened to be apetitor of Stanley Corporation.It had grown


    larger through the years while Stanley Co.had an Achillies'' Heel she knew, although its business was


    developing as well.


    Back then, the money she gave Aldrich became the main reason why her parents died.If she hadn''t


    helped Stanley Co.back then, Nigel Co.could have been saved.


    And if Aiden copsed, how could Riane be with Aldrich, given how much she loved money? In that


    case, his sister wouldn''t die either! And if Stanley Co.fell apart, Riane wouldn''t even decide to be with


    Aldrich.


    If only she really didn''t, her sister wouldn''t have died.


    Their maid took the baby out on one sunny day.


    Before that, Caroline first fed the baby.Caroline felt anxious when she heard the phone ring.She


    hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    In the room, the man was asleep on a chair.


    His phone was right in front of him, ringing again and again.Caroline felt an indescribable feeling.She


    didn''t answer it.


    She was thinking whether she should wake him up to ask him to sleep in the bedroom instead when


    she felt a bit dizzy as the ground shook.


    Caroline was shocked, but before she could feel it, she felt the floor shake again.


    Immediately, several books on the bookshelf were knocked down by the shaking.


    ¡®Earthquake!¡¯ She was shocked and hurriedly woke him up.


    "There''s an earthquake! Let''s go!" Caroline said loudly.


    He woke up, not knowing how to react.


    The ground was still shaking, and the books in the study behind them were continuously smashing


    down.


    As for the baby, he was with his maids outside and there were no tall buildings around, so they were


    safe.


    The moment they crouched; the ground trembled violently again.


    Caroline hugged the man tightly and pressed his head into her embrace when one of their things


    almost fell onto his head.

    The man was only half-conscious when a familiar scent filled his nose.


    It was too strong that he woke up and opened his eyes.


    But unfortunately, the ground hadn''t recovered from the earthquake yet which produced loud noises


    from fallen objects.


    After everything returned to silence, Caroline heaved a sigh of relief as she let go of him and said,


    "You''re fine now.The earthquake should be over."


    Only then did he figure that it was Caroline who embraced him.


    She lowered her head, ced her hands on his shoulders, and with concerned eyes, she asked, "Are


    you alright? Does anything hurt?"


    When he saw how genuine Caroline''s reaction was, he suddenly wanted to hug her.


    "I''m fine, Caroline" he said.


    She was about to check further if he was hurt when he said, "Where are Charles and Marisa?"


    She guided him to stand and replied, "They were ying outside when the ground shook, so they


    should be fine"


    "l''ll go and check" Caroline initiated and he instantly agreed.


    When Caroline turned around, he abruptly grabbed her hand and said, "Be careful; there might still be


    aftershocks."


    Caroline''s expression turned from nk to pleased.


    She patted his shoulder, smiled and warned, "There might still be aftershocks, indeed, so don''t go


    anywhere and wait for me here.I''ll be right back."


    With that, she dashed outside.


    The man looked at her back until she eventually departed.


    His heart was filled withplicated emotions and tears surged in his eyes.


    ¡®She could''ve left, but she stayed with me: When he was young, his mother divorced his father because


    she could not bear to stay poor all year round.Less than two yearster, his father died.Afterward, he


    was raised by his grandfather and took over thepany.


    When he was twenty-two, his grandfather arranged his marriage with a girl he wasn''t familiar with at all.


    Nevertheless, he did notin.


    He knew that his grandfather''s only wish was to have a grandson so he agreed to marry that woman.


    On the night of their wedding, the man found out about his father''s illness.


    He then gathered all his courage and told the girl about it but unfortunately, his bride could not process


    it and left without leaving a single message.


    The man, on the other hand, wasn''t affected by that because he had never developed feelings for her.


    It was his grandfather who couldn''t ept the fact that his son, the man''s father, died while his only


    grandson had an incurable illness.


    Two yearster, his grandfather left him by himself.

    The following days became the worst days of his life.


    When his doctor told him that he only has two more years left to live, he had lost his will to fight for his


    life and was about to give up when Caroline came into his life.


    He was already on the verge of death so he didn''t question her past.


    Everything that had happened between them was never because of love initially, but as he saw how


    Caroline genuinely cared for him, his heart felt full and warm.


    He was overwhelmed.


    ¡®She should have abandoned me from the beginning.She had a choice to leave but she did not¡±


    At the moment of the earthquake, Caroline tightly protected him in her arms and did not let go of him


    for a single moment.


    ¡®How unlucky I must be! ''he sighed.


    He already epted the fact that his days were limited.


    Because of that, he couldn''t possibly do something nice for Caroline to return her kindness.


    The next day, they found out that the epicenter was 200 kilometers away from A City.


    That night, when Caroline took care of the baby and returned to the bedroom, she found him seated


    beside the bed.His eyes were fixed on her and he gently said the words, "I have something to say to


    you."

    Chapter 27: I Won''t Regret It


    "What is it?" Caroline asked.


    "As soon as the baby no longer depends on you for milk, you can leave.Come back after four months"


    Caroline''s breathing paused for a second as the man replied coldly.


    ¡®His doctor mentioned that he only has around five months left to live.Does that mean he wanted me to


    be apart from him as he died?¡¯


    ¡®He also told me to return.Perhaps it''s so I can stay with the baby¡¯ Caroline''s heart ached, but she knew


    that if she, herself, was hurt, then he must be suffering even more.


    "Alright." Caroline helplessly replied.


    She sat next to him as he took out his headphones.


    The man leaned closer to her and whispered, "Didn''t you always want to know what music I''m listening


    to?" he asked as he handed her his headphones.


    Caroline epted it with a smile and was taken aback when she heard a familiar tune.


    It was the very first song that she had rmended to him that day.


    The two didn''t say anything to each other nor did they make eye contact.


    They were simply connected by a set of headphones as they silently listened to the same song.


    Caroline couldn''t recall how she fell asleep that night but she did remember that in her hazy state,


    someone whispered in her ear and said, "If only I had known you earlier¡¯


    She wanted to respond, but she couldn''t stop herself from falling asleep.


    Another month passed and time appeared to flow like water.


    Caroline couldn''t hold back her tears as she fed her baby for thest time.


    She closed her eyes and murmured, "Charles, when you grow up and be a man, apany Dad


    well during the time mom is away:"


    Even though the little fellow didn''t understand, he smiled sweetly at Caroline.


    Caroline''s luggage which she had packed ahead of time was ced beside the bedroom''s door.She


    walked silently and pushed the door open.


    The room was dark as usual.


    It was the same room she had repeatedly refused to enter but now found difficult to leave.


    The man didn''t move even when he noticed that Caroline had entered the room.


    She then looked at his back, stretched out her arms, and hugged him from behind without hesitations.


    "I won''t send you off."


    He murmured indifferently after his body tightened for a second.


    "I never knew your name.Can you tell me?" her voice trembled as she peered at his silhouette.


    "No need."


    His voice sounded serene as if he could transform into an ethereal being at any time.


    At this time, Caroline couldn''t care less about anything else.She faced him and tears streamed down


    her cheeks.


    "I don''t want to leave.Can''t you just let me apany you?"


    At this moment, the man knew that Caroline had found out about his illness.


    He remained silent as he pulled her fingers away from his body, Caroline suddenly became aggressive


    and hugged him tightly.


    She even stood on tiptoe to search for his lips.


    Caroline wasn''t satisfied when her kiss onlynded on his chin so she raised her head and aimed for


    his lips in which the man had dodged.


    "Caroline, enough! Our deal was over.You should go."


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Her tears kept on falling so the man had the chance to taste it.


    ¡®It was salty but I couldn''t refuse it¡¯ the man thought so.They kept on kissing until they found


    themselves on the bed together.Both of their clothes were left scattered on the floor as they continued


    kissing while naked.


    His kisses went from her neck down her legs.He grabbed her hands and pinned them on top of her


    head.He then looked at her with sad eyes.


    "You already know, so what''s the point of staying?"


    "I admit that this ce had been dark for me for almost a year and a half.I never wanted to stay until


    you became the light on my darkest days."


    As Caroline said that, she tightly wrapped her arms around his neck and with that, the man could no


    longer hold back and slowly closed his eyes as he pushed himself inside Caroline.


    They did that over and over until their body copsed.


    The two were about to reach their climax when the man said with his hoarse voice, "Caroline, you will


    regret it"


    "No, I won''t regret it."


    She looked at him with admiration, reached for his hand and sped her fingers together with him.


    "I''ve never been so certain in my life until today."


    As he heard that, his entire body trembled and he immediately wrapped her in his embrace.

    In the end, the man couldn''t do anything when Caroline refused to leave.


    Two weeks passed and the two became closer than before.


    They were always together like college sweethearts.


    The man assured Caroline that he would be fine so the three of them slept together in the afternoon.


    The following day, Caroline took her son for a walk outside and when she returned, she informed the


    man of the baby''s newfound knowledge.


    Caroline woke up one morning with an uneasy and upset appetite.She quickly checked the calendar


    and realized that her menstruation had already been pushed back a week.


    Caroline grabbed her bag and searched for the pregnancy test stick that she hadn''t used before.She


    hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a test.


    Soon after, her breathing froze.


    The two bars clearly showed that she was pregnant.


    The man in the study room appeared to have started to make ns for the future.


    Over the phone, he warned his trusted employees to cooperate with Caroline the day she started


    working with them.


    He wanted to make sure that everything had been taken care of so that Caroline could work


    harmoniously.


    Caroline held the pregnancy test tightly in her hand.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Her breathing tightened as she couldn''t express the excitement and pain in her heart.


    She waited for the man to hung up then she silently walked towards him.


    Caroline held his hand and looked at him expectantly, "For the sake of Charles and our unborn baby,


    can you try it once? Believe in a miracle?"


    The man was surprised.


    He couldn''t utter a word for a second then he repeated, "Unborn baby?"


    "Yes."


    Caroline ced the pregnancy test stick into his palm and said, "I''m pregnant.


    The night we made love happened to bear fruit."


    As the man heard that, he clenched the stick in his hand and his body trembled.


    His eyes couldn''t focus.


    Caroline saw his reaction and her eyes started to water.


    "Treat it as if I''m begging you, okay? I can''t live without a husband and I don''t want my children to live


    without a father!"


    After that, the room was clouded by a deafening silence.


    Then, seconds after, the man stretched out his arm and pressed Caroline into his embrace.


    Three dayster, the man left their house early when Caroline hadn''t gotten up yet.


    His movements were too cautious and free of any sound that she did not notice him left at all.


    When Caroline woke up, she found a note beside the bed.


    It was a note from him that said, "Caroline, I''m going to look for a miracle.Sorry if I can''t take you with


    me.Take care of yourself and the baby.Don''t wait for me"


    Tears streamed down Caroline''s cheeks when she read the note.


    She knew that even though he did not bid her goodbye, his message was very likely a farewell.


    Caroline stopped herself from crying even more because she had a baby in her tummy and a one-year-


    old kid in her arms.


    She reminded herself to be strong for herself and for her kids.


    Soon after, she became a full-fledged employee of thepany.


    Coincidentally, the Windsor Corporation, which the man was in control of, happened to be apetitor


    of the Stanley Corporation.


    Nevertheless, everything seemed to have be extremely simple.


    She went to work regrly and dealt with stressful situations that she had never dealt with before but


    fortunately, the man had already nned things for her beforehand which helped her a lot.


    In the blink of an eye, it had already been three years and within that time, the Windsor Corporation


    managed to be the best in the industry which caused the defeat of the Stanley Corporation.


    In that three years, Caroline had also gone to the prison to see Riane only to find out that she had


    be apletely different person than she was before.


    During that years as well, Caroline had be the mother of two babies.


    Both her eldest son, Charles, and youngest daughter, Corinne, were already in kindergarten.


    Right after work, she went to the kindergarten to pick her children up.


    From afar, she saw how nicely Charles guided Corinne towards her.


    Caroline''s eyes suddenly turned red.


    It had been three years since he left, and there had been no news of him.


    Caroline thought that perhaps, he hadpletely left this world at some point already.


    ¡®It was unfortunate that you hadn''t had the chance to hug your daughter nor figure out that she looks


    exactly like you¡±

    Chapter 29: Daddy Has Returned


    Caroline weed her children with a big embrace and asked, "Both of you, how was your day in the


    kindergarten?"


    "Mom, I''m furious today!"


    Corinne puffed her little face andined, "One of my ssmates was very annoying!"


    "What''s the matter?"


    Caroline hurriedly crouched down and asked gently.


    Corinne pouted and replied, "That bad ssmate of mine imed that I don''t have a father! I told him


    that Dad only went to Antarctica to be a scientist and feed penguins.I also mentioned that he would


    return once the baby penguins have grown!"


    Caroline choked up her breath, but she still smiled gently, "Yes, Dad wille back after he had fed


    the penguins"


    She hugged Corinne while she drew Charles inside the car.


    The two children were salivating for dumplings when they passed a snack store.


    Because of that, Caroline asked the driver to stop the vehicle and park for a minute.


    She then went to the store with her children and bought two boxes of colorful dumplings.


    In that wilderness, the vi remained alone.


    Caroline only found outter after a man purchased a nearby estate.


    If nobody did that, the mansion would be lonely alone.


    As soon as they arrived, both Corinne and Charles ran towards the vi.


    Caroline smiled as she followed them and reminded, "Corinne, be careful.You might fall! Charles, lead


    your sister.Don''t run so fast."


    She opened the vi¡¯s door as she spoke.


    Caroline suddenly had the weird feeling that something was wrong when she changed her shoes.She


    then went into the bedroom to change her clothes but she stopped as soon as she opened the door.


    The curtains were open which allowed the bright sunlight to invade the entirety of the bedroom.


    A tall man stood straight in front of the window with his back to her.


    Even only with his silhouette could Caroline tell who he was.


    Her heartbeat instantly elerated as she moved closer to him, step by step.


    He slowly turned around and stared at her with a deep gaze.


    Caroline looked up at him nkly.


    All she could think of was the familiar scent that she hadn''t smelled in three years.


    He looked down at her and said in a familiar low captivating voice, "Caroline, I''ve found a miracle- With


    that, Caroline''s eyes welled up with tears while the man embraced her tightly and said, "Oh right, I


    forgot to introduce myself.My name is Augustus Windsor"


    She looked up at him through tears and responded, "Where have you been? I''ve been waiting for you


    for three long years"


    He lowered his head and kissed her cheek softly.


    "My apologies, miss.You don''t have to worry now.I won''t leave again."


    Just as she was about to respond, she heard two footsteps.


    When Charles and Corinne ran to the door, they witnessed how the unfamiliar man hugged their


    mother.


    Immediately, the two little fellows put their arms around their waist and said fiercely, "Who are you? Let


    go of my mother!"


    "Trespassing, I''ll call the police!"


    Only then did Caroline react and hurriedly came out of Augustus''s embrace.


    She knelt down and held the two little fellows in her arms.


    "Charles, Corinne, meet your father"


    Corinne stared at Augustus with her eyes wide open.


    Charles only looked at the tears on his mom''s cheeks and said, "Mom, why are you crying? Did he


    bully you?"


    Caroline chuckled and said, "No, honey.He did not harm me.I''m only crying because I am


    delighted.Mom just couldn''t contain her happiness now that dad''s back"

    She calmly exined as she tried her best to smile.


    Charles was still trying to grasp the situation when Corinne started to cry as well.


    Caroline hurriedly asked, "Corinne, what''s wrong?"


    "Daddy had fed all the penguins in Antarctica and returned! I am so happy, mom!"

    Chapter 30: Happy Ending


    Augustus looked at his children and felt as if an invisible force had melted his heart.He squatted down


    and tried to sound gentle and affectionate, "Charles, Corinne, can you let Dad hug you?"


    While Charles hesitated, Corinne jumped over Augustus and asked, "Dad, what do penguins look like?


    Do they bite?"


    Augustus couldn''t help but smile because of how innocent his daughter''s question was.


    He held her shoulders gently and replied, "Do you want to see the penguins, Corinne? Shall we go to


    the aquarium tomorrow?"


    Corinne''s expression immediately lightened when she heard what her dad said.She had never been to


    the aquarium before.Her mom only took them to the museum where there weren''t many animals.


    "Alright, alright!" Corinne replied happily.


    Tears were still visible in her eyes but there''s a curve on her lips already.


    Augustus turned to Charles and asked, "Should we take you and your sister to the aquarium tomorrow,


    son?"


    Charles thought for a moment but he eventually nodded and said, "Alright."


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    That night, Caroline couldn''t sleep at all.She still couldn''t believe that he came back.


    Caroline had been patiently waiting for her prayers to be answered for the past three years.


    ¡®Everything seemed too good to be true.I''m afraid that this was only a dream and Augustus would be


    gone once I woke up¡±


    "Caroline."


    He softly said as he held her in his arms, sniffed her scent, and his warm lipsnded on hers.


    "It''s been three years."


    She gently caressed his face while her hands trembled.


    "Are you fine now? Are youpletely healed from your illness?"


    He nodded as he held his hand and put a ring on her finger.


    Caroline was surprised.Her eyes quickly watered as she covered her mouth with her right hand.


    "Caroline, from now on, our family of four will never separate again.Let''s get married on Monday¡±


    On a Saturday morning, Caroline and Augustus held hands and walked into the Ocean Museum with


    Charles and Corinne in their arms.


    They immediately drew the attention of many people because of their excellent appearance and lovely


    children.


    Aldrich¡¯s life, on the other hand,pletely flipped upside down.


    His investment failed recently which left his mother in a difficult situation.


    Aldrich was even diagnosed with extreme fatigue.


    Because he had been overworked, the doctor had advised him to rx and take a rest in the


    meantime.


    His doctor also mentioned that if he wouldn''t rest, he could die.


    "It would be good for you to visit the aquarium this weekend and rx." The doctor suggested.


    Aldrich was rmed about his health, so he obeyed his doctor and went to the aquarium.


    At the aquarium, Aldrich happened to see a family of four which troubled his heart.


    He suddenly remembered how well he and Caroline had gotten along in the past.


    They were so happy at that time; So in love with each other to the extent that they thought they would


    stay like that for the rest of their lives.


    Unfortunately, everything had changed because of the misunderstanding in the blink of an eye.


    He had seen and approached her countless times for three years but Caroline always refused to have


    a conversation.


    He didn''t expect her to be hired as CEO by a bigpany like Windsor''s corporation.


    He wanted to talk to her alone several times but he just kept on being rejected.


    At this time, a soft voice of a child lingered in his ears.


    "Dad, hold me up! I want to say hello to the penguins!"


    As he heard that, his eyes widened, and he was utterly stunned.


    Only then did he figure that the family that he had been staring at was Caroline''s.


    Aldrich saw how happy Caroline was as she spoke with a handsome man.


    She was carrying a boy and beside her was a man with a little girl in his shoulders.


    Caroline seemed to sense something, so she turned around and saw Aldrich not far away.


    She only took a nce and then turned her gaze away.


    Caroline turned to Charles and asked, "Honey, can you see the penguins clearly? If not, why don''t you


    ride on your father''s shoulder and greet them?"


    As Corinne heard that, she smiled and nodded brightly to her brother and said, "Big brother, ride on


    Dad''s shoulder! You''re too heavy for Mom to carry¡±


    Augustus and Caroline exchanged smiles as they heard Corinne.


    When Aldrich saw how sweet Caroline and her family were, the brightness in his eyes dimmed


    instantaneously.He had just witnessed something he had fantasized about in the past.


    Regrettably, his wish now became an absurd thought.Aldrich couldn''t do anything but stare at the


    happy family until they were out of his sight.
