Chapter 53 Sent to Prison

Evan let out a scoff, accompanied by a smirk. “Buy it off you?”

Bradley chuckled, slightly nervous. “I’ll tell you, but only if you pay me and let me go.”

Mockery filled Evan’s eyes. “I’ll consider it after you give me the information.”

“Caroline isn’t my child. Katie adopted her,” Bradley revealed.

“I agreed to let Caroline stay with her when I was courting Katie back then.”

‘Caroline was adopted? She was an orphan?”

Evan frowned as a sudden realization struck him. Panic filled his voice as he asked, “Where did

she adopt her from?”

Bradley shook his head. “I don’t know. But Katie had the adoption certificate, and it should be

written there.”

“Where is the certificate?” Evan inquired urgently.

Bradley gulped nervously. “I… I sent everything to the reclamation depot when I sold the house.

After contemplating for a moment, Evan asked another question. “One more thing. Why did she

send you to the detention center?”

“Because she’s a terrible person!” Bradley snapped.

Evan’s frown deepened, his frustration evident. “Are you itching to get beaten up some more?”

Realizing he had no choice, Bradley had to speak the truth. “Because I hit her mother, or perhaps

she no longer wanted to pay my debts.”

Evan’s eyes turned dark, his anger simmering. He immediately instructed the bodyguard next to

him. “Julian, sort out the recording and send it to all publishers.”

The next day, Caroline woke up, feeling a throbbing pain in her forehead.

As she opened her eyes, she noticed Evan sitting on the couch, engrossed in documents.

She knew it was him who had saved her before she lost consciousness. He had saved her life. She

couldn’t deny that he always appeared whenever she was in danger, making her harbor foolish. hopes for him, even when she tried to forget her feelings.

A warmth filled her heart, but she suppressed it. She pursed her lips, noticing the IV needle in her hand. Since it was Evan who brought her here, her pregnancy….

She quickly called out to him softly, “Evan..”

Evan looked up and got up as soon as he realized she was awake. “What would you like to eat? I’ll

have Reuben bring it over.”

She shook her head slowly, her gaze fixed on his expression. “I don’t have an appetite. Thank you.

for what you did this time.”

He didn’t press her further. The doctor had mentioned that her loss of appetite was normal due to

the concussion.

Pulling a chair, he sat down next to the bed. ‘Caroline, I believe you have the right to know.”

Her heart raced. Was he referring to her child?

Maintaining a calm facade, she asked, “Know what?”

Evan’s gaze turned cold as he spoke. “I sent your father to prison.”

A sudden wave of

relief washed over her upon hearing those words. It seemed like he didn’t know about her pregnancy, or else he wouldn’t have started with a different topic.

Noticing her reaction, Evan furrowed his brows. “You have nothing to say about that?”

She smiled flatly. “Do you think I’m a loser and an idiot? I was beaten by my biological father. Why would I feel sad for him being put into prison?”

“You sure have a charming way of distancing yourself from family matters,” he remarked, a smile playing on his lips.

She remained silent, not knowing how to respond. She simply acted according to her conscience, avoiding burdensome situations. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

After a moment of silence, she mustered the courage to ask, “If I told you that the viral post online had something to do with Daniella…”

“Caroline!” Evan abruptly interrupted her, his voice laced with determination. “Daniella wouldn’t. do something like that.”

His trust in Daniella was unwavering. Caroline’s heart sank, realizing the extent of her own

foolishness.

Clasping her hands tightly, she asked reluctantly, “Even if I present you with evidence, will you still stand by her side?”

His face darkened, and he stood up abruptly. “Caroline, what do you gain from slandering her?”

He didn’t want to entertain the topic any longer. Frustrated, he left the room in haste.

Caroline forced a smile, feeling upset by the turn of events.

However, the door opened soon after Evan’s departure.

It was Daniella who came in this time.

She held a fruit basket and walked to the bed while smiling. “Oh my, you’re up, Ms. Shenton?”

Caroline’s eyes turned cold. She sat up quickly while suppressing the pain and yelled, “Get out!”

Daniella put down the fruit basket elegantly. “Don’t be angry. It’d be terrible if you got a miscarriage.”
