Trapped in Love

Chapter 57 What Took You So Long

Caroline felt a pang in her heart when Evan mentioned resentment.

She had held onto it tightly, but had he made any effort to address it?

She was unsure if he had discovered something but chose to ignore it for the sake of protecting

Daniella. The uncertainty was unbearable, and the pain inside her continued to grow with no sign

of resolution.

Looking at him, she scoffed and said, “You can say whatever you want, Evan, but you’re getting

engaged. It’s unfair to Ms. Love that you’re preoccupied with my issues, isn’t it?”

Evan’s face turned chillingly cold. ‘Caroline, once you step out of MK, you won’t get a chance to

return.”

Her heart skipped a beat at his words, but she found solace in the fact that he was willing to let

her go. Maintaining a smile, she replied. “Thank you for everything over the past three years,

Evan. From now on, I wish you and Ms. Love a lifetime of happiness and love!”

With that, she placed her resignation letter in Evan’s hand and left without looking back. As soon

as she closed the door behind her, his grim aura permeated the entire office.

Meanwhile, Paige, upon learning of Caroline’s resignation, requested a paid leave.

She accompanied Caroline to pack at Villa Rosa and they went to the suburbs to search for a new

place.

Exhausted, Caroline collapsed on the couch in the living room after arranging for an hourly maid

to clean the entire place

Paige playfully nudged Caroline’s calves with her toe and joked, “Caroline, you’re not only exhausting me, but are you also trying to starve me to death?”

Caroline smiled and asked, “What would you like to eat?”

Paige pondered for a moment before suggesting, “Let’s have fondue! There’s a new fondue place in the city, but it’s a little pricey.”

Checking the time on her watch, she added, “It’s already 10:30 p.m. We should be able to have it for

supper if we go now.”

Caroline quickly drank a glass of water and agreed, “Sure, let’s go now.”

They hastily made their way to the fondue place after reaching a decision. The restaurant

happened to be near the International Residence.

Caroline looked at Paige rather helplessly. “Are you bringing me here to stir up trouble or to have

a meal?”

Paige sounded annoyed as she placed an order. “Are you talking about that pretentious person? We won’t be so unlucky to run into her while we eat.”

Just as she finished speaking, a rude voice suddenly echoed from a nearby table. “Waiter, bring

me the bill!”

Instinctively, Caroline and Paige turned their heads to see who it was.

Paige’s eyes widened in shock at a single glance. “Oh no!” she exclaimed.

Caroline looked at her, confused by her reaction.

Lowering her voice, Paige pointed discreetly behind them. “That blond man, Carol! I recognize him!

Caroline raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Is he your friend?”

Paige shook her head firmly. “No, he’s Daniella’s secret lover!”

Suddenly, Caroline recalled something Paige had mentioned earlier. Frowning, she said, “I don’t.

think so. Evan and Daniella are getting engaged. Unless she’s foolish, it’s highly unlikely she

would do something like that. It would be the end for her if Evan found out.”

Paige insisted, “Don’t you believe me? Let’s forget about eating and follow him!”

Without hesitation, she pulled Caroline away from the fondue place.

The blond man made his way toward the International Residence after leaving the restaurant. He

looked around cautiously before entering, using his key card to gain access.

Caroline could only shake her head in disappointment. “Okay, we can’t enter without a…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Paige revealed the International Residence’s key card

Caroline was taken aback. “How did you get that?”

Paige flashed a sly smile and led Caroline inside the International Residence grounds without.

explaining. 1

The two suspicious women followed the man to a building. Once he entered the elevator, Paige

guided Caroline to the third floor through the fire exit.

As they stepped out, they heard Daniella’s flirtatious voice. “What took you so long, Nic?”

“Can’t wait for me to fuck you?”

Shortly after, the door closed behind them.

Caroline stood frozen, struck by a lightning bolt of realization. Paige was equally surprised. They hadn’t expected Nic to be so crude with his words.

Silently, they both understood what was going through each other’s minds. It was only after they left and got into the car that Paige broke the silence. That was quite something.”

Caroline muttered, “She sure is ballsy. Evan won’t tolerate this.”

“Maybe it was fate that we witnessed that today. It’s a stroke of luck that we ran into him,” Paige said, gazing at the International Residence.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

If she managed to capture what she witnessed on film and showed it to Evan, Daniella would face

the ultimate revenge for what she had done to Caroline’s mother.

Unfortunately, Caroline couldn’t ignore the missed opportunity and regretted not believing Paige earlier.

“Paige, I’ll transfer you money later. Please find someone to keep an eye on Daniella.”

Paige rolled her eyes. “Gurl, do I look like I need money?”

Caroline insisted, “I just want to be fair. If you don’t accept it, I won’t ask for your help ever again.”

Angrily, Paige relented.

Meanwhile, at the International Residence, Nic embraced Daniella after their intimate encounter.

I won’t be able to visit for a while,” he informed her.

She gazed at him, taken aback. “Why? What’s the reason?”
