Chapter 119 The Peace Before a Storm

"Okay then, let Mr. Tucker come here. Then he can have a good look. He'll know that his so-called good friend doesn't give a shit about his feelings."

Caroline wanted to laugh. This man was really ridiculous. Why did he force his opinions upon her? Why did he think that she didn't want Antonio to know everything?

Oh, probably it was because she was a disgraceful woman in his eyes!

"You..." Cayne's eyes turned cold and there was more disdain in them. He spoke, "You're really disgusting. You said I didn't give a shit about Antonio's feelings? When you said so, it also proved that you didn't care about his feelings either. Antonio sincerely loves you, but he loves the wrong person."

Caroline replied to him in her heart, "Yep. He loves the wrong person."

"I agree with you, Mr. Filocci."

Cayne hadn't expected that Caroline would admit it without any excuses.

He felt furious and thought Antonio's sacrifice was not worthwhile.

"Don't be so gloating. I'll let him know what kind of woman you are! Women like you were like tumors. I will never allow a tumor like you to stay beside my friend or hurt him."

He let go of Caroline after finishing the words.

...

Caroline and Cayne went back to the room one after another.

A hint of weird emotion flashed across Antonio's eyes. When Cayne sat down and looked up, he met Antonio's unfathomable eyes.

"You don't smell of cigarettes." Antonio moved his thin lips and looked coldly at Cayne who sat opposite him.

Cayne said that he wanted to go out for a smoke just now, but now he didn't smell of cigarettes at all. Besides, he went back to the room right after Caroline did and he seemed to be targeting Caroline before. It dawned on Antonio that Cayne also left right after Caroline did before.

His face turned colder.

Deloris, who was about to drink his coffee, had his hand paused in the air.

"I went out to exchange a few words with Ms. Jameson. After all, we got to know each other in Royal Club. We're somehow acquaintances, aren't we?"

Antonio narrowed his eyes and said, "I know she's working in Royal Club. You don't have to be so sarcastic when you talk."

Cayne was so annoyed that he even wanted to laugh. He took out his cigarette box with his slender fingers and lightened up a cigarette before Caroline. He smoked it slowly.

Antonio raised his chin even higher and asked Cayne, "Why don't you go out to smoke it now?"

Then why did he go out just now?

He knew it was weird. When did a man like Cayne start to care about other people's opinions?

Deloris sensed something was wrong. He stood up and said, "It suddenly dawns on me that I still need to deal with some affairs. But I drank some wine just now. Cayne, can you give me a ride?"

Then he pulled Cayne up without giving the latter a chance to refuse him. He said goodbye to Caroline, "Ms. Jameson, see you next time."

Antonio turned around after they left the room and looked Caroline up and down. He asked, "What did he do to you?"

"Nothing."

"Then what did he say to you?"

"We just exchanged a few words."

Antonio looked at her with a frown. Apparently, he didn't buy this lame explanation.

Caroline didn't explain further. To believe her or not, it was up to him.

"I've been dealing with complicated matters recently. And the situation is getting a bit better. Callie, I can help you leave Royal Club when I solve everything."

Leave Royal Club? For a moment, she felt touched.

However, she would have the club earlier if it was such easy.

If Bentley refused to let go of her, he would find her even if she had left Royal Club. Besides, her ID card, the only thing that could prove who she was, was kept by him. If she left now, it would be difficult for her to go to any place without her ID card.

...

Cayne didn't return home after leaving that room. He met with a noble lady in a café and they talked. When the lady left, she nodded profusely and said, "Rest assured. I will help you and expose

that woman's true self to your friend. But you've promised me that you'll spend a night with me if I make it. Don't forget about it."

Cayne chuckled and whispered into her ear in a very charming voice, "Of course. How would I resist a beauty like you, Ms. Grant?"

Ms. Grant was captivated by his low voice and gorgeous face. She felt reluctant when it was time to separate and said, "Then that's a deal. I will take action tomorrow night. Remember to be present by that time. I don't want you to blame me for not doing a good job later."

"How will I do that? Ms. Grant, you're so beautiful and capable. Of course, I trust your ability. Even if you mess it up, I won't miss a beauty like you."

What he said amused Ms. Grant.

"Then I would like to wish you success in advance." She turned around after finishing the words. At this moment, a hint of disgust flashed across Cayne's brown eyes. He didn't want to stay anymore and left the café.

...

In the evening...

Antonio didn't tell Caroline why he asked her to take a night off.

"Mr. Tucker, you required me to ask for leave before. Turns out that you wanted to take me to ride the Ferris wheel?" Caroline looked at the giant Ferris wheel before her in disbelief.

"Let's go. I promised to take you to ride the Ferris wheel before."

Antonio reached out toward her, but Caroline took a step back vigilantly.

"Callie?" Didn't she want to ride the Ferris wheel?

Caroline looked at Antonio alertly and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tucker."

"I'm sorry because 'sorry' is the only thing that I can give you." She added in her heart.

Antonio froze. After a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his serious face. He said, "You don't want to ride it today? It doesn't matter. We'll ride it together the other day," There was a connotation in his words.

Caroline didn't reply. She looked up at the sky and said, "Mr. Tucker, I feel a bit tired. Please send me back to my dormitory."

Antonio glanced at Caroline meaningfully when he heard her words. In the end, he said in a charming voice, "Okay."

Then he sent Caroline to downstairs her dormitory.

"Mr. Tucker, I want to tell you something. I don't like..."

"Wait a minute." Antonio who sat in the driver's seat suddenly stopped her and said, "My phone is ringing. Caroline, can you get out of the car first?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mr. Tucker, why can you let me finish my words?" Caroline landed her gaze on Antonio's face. She had heard his ringtone many times and there was no sound from his phone just now. But he lied and said his phone was ringing. The reason could only be that he didn't want her to finish her words. Other than that, she couldn't think of other reasons.

"Caroline, get off the car. There have been mountains of matters in my company and family recently. I'm very busy." His heart and expression softened when he saw Caroline's stubborn face. He went

on, "Callie, if you want to tell me something, can you please wait until I solve all these matters? Don't be in such a hurry, okay?"

He pleaded with her with his eyes, which made Caroline's heart soften. Her rationality told her that she should make it clear to him now. however, when she saw the tiredness and imploration in his eyes, she couldn't utter any words though she had prepared for a long time.

She heaved a light sigh and got out of the car without saying anything.

...

The next evening...

When Caroline walked to work, several cars suddenly drove past her and stopped at a place that was seven to eight meters ahead of her.

Caroline gradually widened her eyes when she heard the squeals of brakes and saw the familiar faces of people coming out of the car.

"Oh, isn't this Caroline Jameson?" The woman at the front had delicate make-up and was in high- heeled shoes. She stepped to Caroline and said in shock, "It's really Caroline Jameson, the most influential woman in Lehcaster years ago. But..." She sniffed and continued, "How did you become like this? I still remember how elegant you were back then."

Of course, Caroline knew this woman. It was Natalia Grant.

More and more acquaintances gathered around her.

"OMG! It's really Caroline. I was still doubtful when you said this was Caroline. But I'm sure it's really Caroline after studying her carefully."

"But how did Caroline become like this?"

"Yes, what happened to you, Ms. Jameson?"

"Are you still addressing her as Ms. Jameson? Is it necessary to show respect to a woman who was once put into jail?" Natalia said with a smile. She suddenly thought of something and asked Caroline with concern all over her face, "Caroline, when were you discharged from prison? And how? Why didn't you tell us? After all, we always hung out together back then. You should have told us when you were discharged so that we could hold a party to welcome you."

Caroline's face turned paler and paler. Was it necessary to hold a party for such a disgraceful thing? She looked up at Natalia. Apparently, this woman wanted to embarrass her in front of these people.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we met today. Then we should make it up and hold a party for you." Natalia wrapped her arm around Caroline's shoulders and said, "Let's go. Caroline, we'll have a party to welcome you. Come on."

"No!" Caroline remained still, refusing to leave with Natalia.

"Oh, I can you refuse this? This party is held specially to welcome you. How can we carry on with it if the protagonist doesn't come?" Natalia dragged Caroline and shoved her into the back seat of her car. She went on, "Caroline, we're friends. Just give us some face."

She then took out her phone and said, "If you refuse, I will publish this video."

While speaking, she showed the screen before Caroline's eyes.

Caroline suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief. She yelled, "How did you get this? How? How did you get this video?" Her face turned pale and she cried out, "Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Natalia threw her phone to her friend and said, "You want to snatch my phone? Just do it. I have a copy even if you snatch this." She sneered and crossed her arms before her chest after finishing the words. Apparently, she was appreciating Caroline's embarrassment. She continued, "I will ask it again. Will you give us the face? Are you coming to this welcome party?"

To go or not to go?

Caroline looked ghastly pale. She said, "I'll go with you. Give me the copy."

"Oh, this depends on your performance at the party."

"How did you get this video?" The video reminded her of those humiliating scenes. Her heart was already torn to pieces, but this video made her retrospect what she had suffered during the three years.

"You don't need to know about this." Actually, she got this video by accident.

"What on earth do you want to do today?"

Natalia replied with a smile, "What do we want to do? You'll know later. You can only blame yourself. Why are you dreaming of marrying a rich man when you yourself don't deserve it? Don't blame me. Someone asked me to do so."

"Someone asked you to do so? Who's that?"
