Chapter 85 Can’t You Do Anything Right

Caroline looked away flatly after saying her piece. She didn’t wait for Evan’s response and left the

office

The thought of Daniella and Evan being intimate made her feel disgusted.

Having dinner with him was out of the question. She couldn’t peacefully sit and eat with him.

She had only asked that question to witness Daniella struggling to suppress her anger.

Once she left the office, Caroline took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

She checked the time. She should have enough time if she went back right now.

When she arrived at Villa Rosa by taxi, Lily hurriedly came out to greet her.

Lily urged her as soon as she saw her. “Ms. Love is currently taking a shower, Ms. Shenton. I saw

her place her phone on the table.”

Caroline’s expression turned grim. “Got it. Please stall for me.”

Daniella was staying in a quest room without a bathroom. Caroline could use this opportunity to

retrieve what she needed.

Lily nodded and handed her a piece of paper. “This is the passcode to Ms. Love’s phone. I secretly

took a look.”

Grateful, Caroline replied, “Thank you, Lily!”

She grabbed the passcode and went upstairs. Seeing the bathroom light was still on, she quickly

entered Daniella’s room Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

As soon as she walked in, she noticed Daniella’s phone on the table.

Suppressing her nervousness, she took out the reader and connected it to her own phone.

As soon as the connection was established, a stream of data appeared on the screen.

Caroline gulped as she watched the progress bar at the bottom, her ears attentive to any sounds.

outside.

When the progress bar reached 50%, a sudden commotion erupted from the next room.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Shortly after, Lily’s voice could be heard. “The towel is still in the dryer, Ms. Love! There wasn’t much sun today. I’ll get it for you now.”

+16 DONUS

“What’s wrong with you, Lily? Can’t you do anything right?! Daniella’s angry voice pierced through the door.

Lily stuttered in response before the door was slammed shut. However, the sound of a car engine came from downstairs at that moment.

Caroline’s nerves heightened. Evan was home!

Lily walked up to the door and asked with concern, “Are you finished, Ms. Shenton? Sir is also

home!”

“It’ll be done soon!” Caroline replied.

Wiping the cold sweat from her palms, she quickly disconnected the reader when the progress

reached 100%.

She placed the phone back on the table and turned to leave.

Just as she reached Evan’s room, he appeared at the top of the stairs.

Shocked, Caroline’s facial expression changed, and she almost stumbled.

Glancing at him while feigning calmness, she opened the door and entered the room.

Just when she thought she could finally relax, he walked in as well.

“Why are you panicking?” The man’s penetrating gaze bore into her, sharp as a hawk’s.

Sweat formed on her forehead, and just as she was contemplating what to say, Lily arrived at the

door.

“Sir, Ms. Shenton is experiencing gastric discomfort. She has no appetite to eat the food I prepared

for her.”

Caroline felt secretly grateful. Lily had come to her rescue at the perfect moment!

Evan’s expression turned grim instantly. “Are you throwing a tantrum? Don’t you realize how terrible you look?”

She seized the opportunity to catch her breath. “I’m feeling a little sick. Am I not allowed to feel

that way?”

She wasn’t lying: the anxiety had made her nauseous. She truly couldn’t adjust to engaging in sneaky activities.

Evan pursed his thin lips. “Get the doctor here, Lily.

“No need!” Caroline interrupted quickly. “Lily, just bring me some fruits.”

Lily nodded and left the room.

Evan didn’t leave either, Instead, he sat down on the couch and began scrolling through his phone.

Caroline still hadn’t fully composed herself, so she used the excuse to sort out her belongings. “Im

gonna go sort out my stuff.”

He observed her departing with an enigmatic expression.

Squinting, he rhythmically tapped his finger on the armrest of the couch.

Meanwhile, Daniella returned to her room after finishing her shower. She locked the door and

sent the pictures of the secret documents she had sneakily taken to Nic.

Sen the information. I can’t be involved, or Evan will find out it was me]

Nic replied promptly. That was fast!]

She clenched her teeth. [There won’t be a next time!

[Get Evan to give you pocket money!)

She stared at the screen, falling into a momentary silence.

Now that money was mentioned, perhaps she should test him. Not only to reduce Evan’s suspicions of her but also because she didn’t have much money left. After all, she was pregnant, so asking for financial support shouldn’t be crossing a line, right? She would need to be a bit

indirect in her approach.

In her room, Caroline lay on the bed after organizing her clothes. She needed to hand over the reader and data to Paige tomorrow and then leave Villa Rosa.

She didn’t want to stay here any longer and watch as a murderer roamed freely around her.

Moreover, she still hadn’t finished the design draft. Time was precious, and she couldn’t afford to

waste it.

After drinking the herbal soup that Lily had served her, she planned to take a shower.

Suddenly, Evan entered the room just as she had taken out clothes to change into.

She stared at him. “Can’t you knock?”

He glanced at her. “Haven’t I seen every inch of your body already?”

‘What a jerk! Pervert! she couldn’t help but criticize in her mind.

Suppressing her flustered state, she composed herself and asked, “Is there something I can help you with?”
