Chapter 73 I Hope You Will Keep Your Promise

That night, Evan ravaged her with relentless fervor, his actions bordering on madness.

Once he was spent, he cast a cold, disdainful glare at Caroline. She was trembling and curled–up on

the bed. Without uttering a single word, he swiftly dressed and prepared to leave.

Caroline’s eyes welled up with despair, tears soaking her pillow. What more did she have to

endure for him to release her from this torment?

For an entire month, Evan remained absent from her life. Caroline, meanwhile, had been selected for

the second round of the fashion design competition. On top of that, Paige had some news to

Evan and Daniella were now engaged. The news pierced Caroline’s heart, causing her great pain.

However, she tried not to dwell on it. She immersed herself in her work, while eagerly awaiting. updates

from Mason. During this time, Paige and Scott took turns feeding her.

Despite her efforts, Caroline remained frail and thin, no matter how much she ate. Her stomach

showed no signs of the triplets she had been carrying for over three months

When she went to the hospital for a check–up, the doctor informed her that her placenta had deeply

embedded into the uterine wall. Nevertheless, the babies were growing healthily.

Relieved by this news, Caroline left the hospital with the report in hand. On her way out, Neil.

called her.

“Hello, Caroline,” his gentle voice greeted her.

“What’s up, Mr. Xander?”

“You don’t need to be so formal when speaking to me, Caroline,” he responded with a touch of

helplessness. “Well, are you available the day after tomorrow?”

Caroline frowned. “Why? Just tell me directly.”

She despised people who beat around the bush.

“It’s my grandpa’s birthday the day after tomorrow. Can you accompany me?”

His invitation may have sounded casual, but there was an underlying intention.

Although he hadn’t found any information about her childhood, Neil had a strong feeling that she

was his sister, Lyra.

Perhaps, by bringing her to his grandpa, he could leverage his grandpa’s connections and uncover

some clues

“Mr. Xander, you surely have many women by your side. You don’t need my assistance,” Caroline

declined.

She held contempt for upper–class gatherings.

“I will do my best to find your family for you!”

His words moved her.

There were certain things Mason couldn’t uncover, but that didn’t mean Neil couldn’t.

The influence and power held by the three major families of Angelbay City were unparalleled.

She fell into a prolonged silence before finally speaking up again. “I hope you will keep your promise,

Mr. Xander.”

On the other end of the line, Neil felt’a wave of relief. “Of course.”

After ending the call, Caroline decided to stop by the shopping mall She purchased loose–fitting

clothing, pregnancy essentials, and a gown for the upcoming dinner.

Time seemed to fly by, and soon, Friday arrived.

Caroline had just finished applying her makeup and putting on her gown when Neil called.

After a brief conversation, she made her way downstairs and entered his car.

Her gown, although not extravagant, exuded a timeless elegance. Its simplicity perfectly matched

her cool charisma.

As Neil laid eyes on her, he couldn’t help but be captivated. At that moment, he saw a striking

resemblance between her and his mother, who also wore a gown in a photograph.

Her cold eyes contained gentleness in them.

Caroline noticed his gaze and furrowed her brow. Is there something on my face?” she

questioned, sensing his intense scrutiny,

Neil realized his behavior was inappropriate and quickly averted his eyes. “No, I just saw a

resemblance to my mom,” he stammered, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Silence hung in the air, and Caroline was left speechless. His comment had sounded peculiar, leaving

her uncertain of how to respond.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Xander Residence, where an array of luxury cars were

numerous gatherings with Evan in the past.

The only difference now was that she wasn’t sure if these affluent women would cause trouble for her.

In the past, their fear of Evan prevented them from crossing any boundaries with her. However, the

situation was different now.

As Caroline and Neil entered the living room, the guests glanced their way, engaging in whispered

conversations. Many of them wore expressions of disdain upon seeing her.

“Isn’t she Mr. Jordan’s lover? Why is she with Mr. Xander now?”

“I heard that Mr. Jordan is engaged now. Seems like he grew tired of her and discarded her.”

“She’s nothing but a mistress, she’ll go with anyone. Poor Mr. Xander.”

Caroline–overheard their comments, and Neil did too. His guilt–ridden gaze met hers. “I’m so sorry you

have to endure this,” he murmured.

However, Caroline remained expressionless. “It’s okay. I anticipated this when I made the decision

to come.”

Neil paused, his voice now filled with determination. “No one will bully you anymore.”

Doubt flickered in her eyes as she glanced at him.

He led her to a quieter spot, where they could sit down and talk.

She gazed at him, her expression devoid of emotion, and uttered in a flat tone, “You can ignore me.”

A warm smile graced his lips. “I brought you here, so abandoning you is out of the question. Join me

when my grandpa arrives. We can present the gift to him together.”

Before she could respond, a voice abruptly interrupted their exchange.
