Even though Caroline agreed to Jules ultimatum, it wasn’t a rash decision. Caroline was simply
confident in herself.
She cleaned up het half–finished design and looked at the time. It was time to get off work again.
Caroline didn’t dally. She went downstairs and clocked out right on time.
At the door, she noticed many people’s eyes on her
She frowned slightly. The way they looked at her was different from yesterday.
Their gazes burned, and it seemed like they were excited for some sort of show.
The next second, Caroline spotted the Ferrari at the entrance.
It was a fiery red, drawing the attention of everyone who saw it.
Something else drew their attention even more. Leaning against the car was a handsome Eddy. He had a chilling air about him. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
When he saw Caroline, he took large steps forward His expression never changed.
“I’m here to pick you up from work.”
Caroline didn’t seem to hear his words. She walked past him and went straight toward Jack.
Eddy pulled Caroline to a stop. “Get in the car.”
Caroline lowered her head and looked at the fingers around her wrist. Her eyes turned frosty.
“Mr. Eddy, do take care of your conduct. I’m already married. It’s not good for either of our reputations to act like this in public. My husband would be mad, too.”
“Mad?” Eddy smirked. There was a hint of playfulness in his gaze. “I’m afraid he doesn’t even know the relationship we have, am I right?”
When Caroline heard this, she raised her hand and slapped Eddy.
Eddy had never expected this. Plus, Caroline had put all her might into that slap, too. He was hit so hard that his head turned.
His mind went blank for three whole seconds. When he finally turned back, he glowered at
Caroline.
Caroline’s heart skipped a beat. She only remembered that Eddy was the heir to the Morrison family after she’d slapped him.
Yet she didn’t regret it one bit.

Please be more respectful. My husband isn’t what you think!”
Eddy gritted his teeth and clamped a hand on Caroline’s throat. His fingers flexed slightly.
Caroline felt suffocated, but her gaze didn’t waver. She kept glaring at Eddy.
Eddy was enraged by the way she glared at him. He gritted his teeth and snarled, “You’re still
protecting him!”
When Jack saw this, he rapidly opened the door and got out of the car.
“Ms. Evans!”
Right then, Eddy finally noticed that there was someone else there.
He looked at the strong–built Jack and then at Caroline, who frantically waved for Jack not to approach. A thought flashed in his mind.
He gripped tighter, unknowingly pressing the artery in Caroline’s neck.
Could this man be Caroline’s husband?
His looks were uncultured and rough. If he wasn’t a cook, then he had to be a driver. How could
Caroline marry such a man?
And Caroline defended him like he was such a treasure, too!
Feeling defeated sent a rush of anger surging through Eddy.
Meanwhile, Caroline was coughing nonstop.
Her breathless coughs finally pulled Eddy out of his thoughts.
He looked at Caroline, her face red and pained. He loosened his hold on Caroline, his hands
shaking as if he had been electrocuted.
Finally getting some fresh air, Caroline supported herself with her hands on her knees. She took
in huge breaths.
When Jack saw this, he hurriedly went up to support Caroline and help her to the car.
He opened the door for her and settled her in the seat. Then, he looked at Eddy, searing his face
into his memory.
After that, Jack drove off.
