Chapter 35 Don’t I Deserve the Money

“Your boss?” Katie was astonished.

Caroline responded nonchalantly, “Dad’s creditors keep bothering me. My boss noticed and he offered to provide a few bodyguards for my protection.”

Relieved, Katic let out a sigh. “I’m glad you’re safe. Don’t turn off your phone like that again. You scared me.”

Caroline briefly comforted her mother before ending the call. She then walked over to the window, feeling nervous as she looked down below and waited

In less than ten minutes, a black Maybach sped into the yard. Evan stepped out of the car and entered the villa, his demeanor ominous and gloomy

Turning around, she headed towards the bedroom door with a sense of unease. As she reached for

the doorknob, it suddenly swung open with a loud bang, striking her shoulder and causing a sharp

pain.

Instinctively, she cradled her shoulder and gazed up at the handsome yet gloomy face. Veins

bulged on his forehead, his once impeccable countenance now filled with weariness.

His gaze frightened her, causing her to instinctively take a step back. Before she could retreat to

safety, he grabbed her shoulders and forcefully pressed her against the wall.

“Tell me, why did you turn off your phone?” Evan demanded in a cold, aloof tone.

Caroline endured the pain shooting through her shoulders and met his gaze, explaining, “I told you, my phone’s battery died…”

Whoosh!

Before she could finish her explanation, he abruptly threw several cold photographs at her face.

As they fluttered down to the floor, she lowered her head to examine them.

Soon, she recognized the familiar Lamborghini and saw herself standing beside the car, engaged

in conversation with the driver.

“Were you fooling around with another man in my absence?” At that moment, he resembled a

beast that had lost control.

His furious roar pierced her ears. “Caroline, I never knew you were capable of this!”

Caroline’s heart sank as she anticipated another wave of relentless scrutiny and torment.

Taking a deep breath, she looked up into his bloodthirsty gaze. “Will you believe me even if I explain?”

“It won’t make you any less repulsive!” Evan’s anger was terrifying.

Caroline’s eyes flickered ‘Repulsive…

“He finds me repulsive even before I have a chance to explain.”

“Aren’t you the repulsive one? Caroline lowered her gaze and snorted.

“You that once you found her, you would terminate the contract automatically. So

promised me why are we still stuck together now? You adore Daniella but treat me like a disposable dog. You cruelly trample on my dignity every single day. One word from you controls my entire life. But why? I worked hard and wasted my youth serving you for three long years. Don’t I deserve the

money?” :

As she posed these questions, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

Fiercely wiping them away, she pushed him away and firmly declared, “I’m resigning!”

Evan felt as if he had been dealt a fatal blow, witnessing her tears and hearing her final words. A tinge of panic flickered in his dark eyes as an uncontrollable feeling surged within him.

That panic only lasted a brief moment. Very quickly, his eyes turned cold once more.

“Resign?” Evan sneered. “You can never escape until I grow tired of you”

That statement shattered all of Caroline’s hopes for her future.

“Come in!” Evan coldly shouted.

Several footsteps echoed from the stairs.

The bodyguards appeared one by one at the door of the room

“No one is to let her out without my permission!”

After issuing the order, he callously left the room.

As the door closed firmly, Caroline closed her eyes in complete despair.

Caroline spent the entire night sleepless, enduring until Lily arrived to bring her breakfast.

When the door opened, Caroline noticed the bodyguard still stationed motionlessly at the entrance.

“Ms. Shenton, you can’t resist Mr. Jordan like this,” Lily sighed, placing the food on the bedside

“You don’t understand how worried he was last night. He had over a hundred bodyguards searching for you all over the city. I saw the panic on his face when he couldn’t reach you on the phone. I’ve seen this kind of thing before. His behavior stems from his deep concern for you. Why are you so stubborn?” 1

‘Does he really care about me?’ Caroline sneered inwardly. “I suppose I’d be worried too if I lost my

pet.”

She restrained herself from uttering that she was merely a dog he kept.

Feeling sympathetic towards Caroline, Lily advised kindly, “Ms. Shenton, this won’t end well. You should give in to him. It’s better than being locked up like this…”

Caroline slowly curled her knees up, hugging them tightly with her hands. In a soft voice, she said, “Lily, please stop trying to persuade me.”

She had given in to him for three years, and now she refused to continue down that path. Otherwise, she would see herself as a despicably shameless woman.
