Chapter 138 Karma Will Find You
April smiled, but disgust flickered through her eyes.
No wonder Nathan felt repulsed; she had the same feeling.
"Hello, Ms. Ryker, I'm April."
"Miss April, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
After greeting each other, Caroline shifted her gentle gaze back to Nathan and asked, "Mr. Colton, how long will you be staying here this time?"
It was hard to get Nathan's schedule.
She had spent a considerable sum of money to track his whereabouts.
Nathan glanced at Caroline, held the glass of wine, and took a sip, which made him seem more enticing.
"I might not leave this time," Nathan responded casually.
His words sent ripples through Caroline's heart, and she was even more fascinated by him.
April saw Caroline's almost drooling expression, and her disdain deepened.
"Nathan, would you mind pouring me a glass of wine?" April asked in a soft voice and cast Nathan a tempting glance.
Nathan smiled at her and gracefully filled her glass with wine. Then he said, "You're quite the drinker; we've already finished this bottle."
April, who could hold her liquor well, flashed a seductive smile and winked at Nathan, "Getting drunk makes it easier to seduce you!"
Caroline heard this and inwardly cursed April, "How shameless that bitch is!"
How could she speak of seduction so blatantly?
At that moment, Caroline's drink was served.
April looked at Caroline with a suggestive smile and said, "Ms. Ryker, let's have a drink."
"Certainly," Caroline agreed and elegantly raised her glass.
Having received professional guidance on etiquette from a young age, her upper-class upbringing was shown through her dignified and refined manners.
She wanted to toast with Nathan, who seemed to be moving his glass in her direction, but he avoided her hand and chose to clink glasses with April instead.
Caroline was awkward and finished her drink in one gulp.
Watching Caroline drink, Nathan turned to April and said, "April, I will drive you home now. I have some things to attend to later."
April shook her head and replied, "You can go ahead with your business. I'm planning to go to the boxing gym later to meet handsome and muscular guys there."
Nathan made no response.
He glanced at his own muscles, frowned, and suggested, "Or, you could come home and see my body. I suppose I could make that sacrifice."
Hearing this, April, who had just taken a sip of red wine, spit out her drink in surprise.
She looked at Nathan with disdain.
"Forget it, I prefer the masculine muscular men at the gym." She had already made plans with Arielle to go there.
Nathan was speechless. Despite his fit and attractive physique, he was rejected
"Arielle is going too?" Nathan asked with a gloomy face.
"Yes," April nodded and replied.
"Did Ellie ever go there?" Nathan asked again as his expression soured further.
"Well, she's too busy for that. She went with us twice when we were abroad but didn't like it. She said it was too noisy, so we stopped inviting her afterward."
Nathan's mood seemed to lighten slightly.
"Alright, just take care. I'll be off then. Call me if you need anything." Without hesitating or glancing at Caroline, Nathan left the bar.
Once Nathan was gone, Caroline smiled and asked, "Miss April, are you close to Mr. Colton?"
After finishing her glass of wine, April responded, "We've been lovers for many years. How close do you think we are?"
With a meaningful smile and without waiting for Caroline's response, April picked up her bag on the table and said, "Goodbye, Ms. Ryker."
Caroline hadn't finished speaking.
"Wait, Miss April," she called out hurriedly.
April, as if she hadn't heard anything, continued walking ahead gracefully.
"How cheeky," Caroline muttered a curse as she watched April go away.
Feeling frustrated, she realized that Nathan was difficult to handle.
What should she do next?
Especially since Nathan also had feelings for Eleanor.
Eleanor seemed to get in her way all the time.
As she stood to leave, a waiter approached, stopped her, and said, "Miss, please settle your bill for the drinks."
Caroline's face turned pale instantly. Nathan hadn't paid for her drinks.
This fundamentally shifted her impression of Nathan.
Angrily, she paid the bill and left the bar.
She happened to run into Aubrey at the entrance of the bar. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Aubrey, dressed in a white dress, had a tender temperament. Her large, beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow.
Thinking of the recent misfortunes that befell her family, Caroline instantly looked down on Aubrey with a sense of superiority.
"Well, Aubrey, hasn't your family hit rock bottom? Are you here fishing for a wealthy husband? " Caroline mocked.
For years, she had felt overshadowed by this woman, but now, the tables had turned.
The Logan family got what they deserved!
Faced with Caroline's scorn, tears welled up in Aubrey's eyes.
"It's none of your business. Leave me alone!"
As Aubrey tried to walk inside, Caroline stopped her.
Aubrey glared at her and asked furiously, "What do you want?"
She was infuriated. Michael had slept with her but now turned a blind eye to her family's dire situation. He wouldn't answer her calls or respond to her messages.
This despicable man had intentionally taken her virginity and refused to take responsibility.
Caroline couldn't help but smirk. Seeing Aubrey's delicate face, Caroline knew she could take care of this silly girl and suggested, "Aubrey, if you need money, I could introduce you to some rich guys. When they are done with you, they will ask you to leave and give you a large sum of money."
"Go away!" Aubrey knew too well how vile Caroline could be.
Aubrey had always had the upper hand over Caroline. Now that the tables were turned, Caroline was eager for vengeance.
Caroline had a knack for making money, especially from women. For someone of Aubrey's fallen grace, those young men from wealthy families would find every way to indulge in their pleasures with her.
Once they grew bored, they would dump her.
That would be the time for Caroline to relish in her tragedy.
Aubrey sneered, "Caroline, karma will find you. My family's downfall will affect the Ryker family," she said with a creepy smile.
Caroline brushed off the threat and only cared about profiting from Aubrey's misfortune. She reminded Aubrey, "As far as I know, your family's assets have been liquidated to cover debts. You're quite destitute now."
Without her family's influence, Aubrey seemed much more subdued, which greatly made Caroline satisfied.
Aubrey bit her lip in distress. She wouldn't have ended up like this now if her sister had not been wicked.
She had sought help from many of her father's friends today, all of whom had turned her away.
The Logan family had crossed Sebastian, and no one dared to offer them help.
Then she thought of Nathan, Sebastian's sworn enemy. If he were willing to help her family, she'd do anything he asked.
Hearing that Nathan might be around, she had come looking for him, but after searching the entire place, she found no sign of him.
Caroline, noticing Aubrey's silence, felt even more content.
"Come on, Aubrey, let me introduce you to some wealthy young men. I guarantee you'll make a fortune," Caroline said and reached out to grab Aubrey's arm.
