Chapter 59 Cloude Orphanage

Mason handed Caroline a tissue, empathetically offering support. I understand that accepting this situation is difficult, but crying now won’t change anything.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Caroline, unaware of her tears until he pointed them out, accepted the tissue with a lowered head. Her voice carried a hint of moodiness as she muttered, “I’m sorry.”

He responded calmly, “It happens.

After collecting herself, Caroline lifted her gaze and addressed Mr. Hall. “Mr. Hall, my mom mentioned in her letter that you might be able to help me.”

Mr. Hall retrieved a document from his backpack and handed it to her, saying, “I can provide assistance, but it comes at a cost. In my line of work, we don’t offer help out of kindness. It’s for our livelihood, and I hope you understand.”

Nodding in acknowledgment, Caroline accepted the document, which contained a list of prices for various services. She quickly skimmed through the prices and found them within her budget.

“Money isn’t the issue,” she asserted, looking directly at him. “Efficiency and accuracy are all 1 care about.”

Mason took out another document and handed it to her. “You’ll trust us after seeing this.”

Caroline read through the document meticulously. It detailed the firm’s successful case history over the years. After perusing it, she felt much more confident in Mr. Hall’s capabilities.

“In that case, when can we sign the contract, Mr. Hall?” She asked.

“Tell me, what would you like me to investigate first?” he asked, genuinely interested.

Caroline’s eyes fixed on the letter, and she responded, “I’d like to find out which orphanage my mom adopted me from.”

On the presidential office floor in MK, a secretary ran out from Evan’s office with tears streaming down her face and hands clutching documents to her chest. With her head held low in misery, she accidentally collided with Daniella, who happened to be passing by..

Rage flickered in Daniella’s eyes, but she maintained composure and feigned concern. “Are you okay?”

The secretary quickly bowed and apologized upon recognizing Daniella. “I’m sorry, Ms. Love! I wasn’t paying attention. It’s entirely my fault!”

“It’s alright,” Daniella glanced at Evan’s office and asked, “Did Mr. Jordan scold you again?”

Amidst her tears, the secretary complained, “Ever since Ms. Shenton left, Mr. Jordan has been angry every day. Everything we do seems to be wrong.”

Although seething with anger, Daniella spoke gently to the secretary, masking her true feelings.” Don’t worry, I’ll talk to him.”

Grateful for Daniella’s words, the secretary expressed her thanks through tears and hurried back

to the secretarial office.

Daniella’s expression turned grim. Was Caroline really so important to Evan?

Despite his constant tantrums, he hadn’t invited her to live in Villa Rossa since Caroline’s

departure.

She was so angry that she forgot to knock. As she reached for the door handle, she overheard

Evan’s voice from within.

“Have you double–checked? Are you certain Caroline stayed at Cloude Orphanage?”

-Startled, Daniella froze in shock. Cloude Orphanage? Caroline? Didn’t she have parents? Why did

she reside in the very same orphanage Daniella once called home?

Images flooded Daniella’s mind–Caroline’s red cinnabar mole on her earlobe. In a panic, Daniella

recoiled her hand and took a couple of steps back.

She quickly scanned her surroundings, realizing no one had witnessed her reaction. Swiftly.

turning on her heels, she rushed towards the elevator, unable to calm her racing thoughts even

after reaching her office. 1

Childhood memories flooded back like an overpowering storm

Daniella recalled seeing a girl from the same orphanage carrying an unconscious boy out of a

river. The two of them had sought refuge in an abandoned warehouse nearby, where they stayed

for a considerable time.

Driven by curiosity, Daniella had ventured to investigate. She witnessed the girl tending to the boy

-lighting a fire to keep him warm, dressing him in clothes. At the time, Daniella had scorned the girl, considering her nosy and intrusive.

However, during her previous stint as an escort at a nightclub, Nic had enlightened her on Evan

Jordan’s quest to find a girl from Cloude Orphanage. The girl, distinguished by a red cinnabar

mole on her earlobe, had captured Evan’s attention.

In that split second, Daniella connected the dots. The unconscious boy she had seen back then

was, undoubtedly, Evan himself.

That realization prompted Daniella to scheme with Nic, pretending to be the girl who had saved

her current position alongside Evan.

The more Daniella dwelled on these revelations, the more her panic intensified.

Could Caroline be that very girl who had saved Evan?

That didn’t seem plausible. If she was that girl, why couldn’t she remember any of it now?

Determined to ensure her own safety, Daniella resolved to eliminate Caroline completely. Caroline

was a nuisance and an awful threat!

At the cafe, Caroline and Mason rose from their seats and exited after signing the contract. As

soon as they stepped outside, a familiar voice exclaimed, “Hey, it’s you!”

Caroline turned her head, recognizing the person when her eyes met the woman standing a meter

away–Neil’s cousin, Yuliana.

Deciding not to engage in an argument on the street, Caroline pretended not to hear and began to

walk away.

“Where do you think you’re going?!” Yuliana’s shout reverberated through the air, brimming with

determination. She lunged forward unexpectedly, seizing Caroline’s arm.

“We’re far from finished with our grudge. Now that I’ve finally found you, there’s no escaping now!”

Caroline looked at Yuliana, a hint of amusement in her eyes. “What grudge are you referring to? Is

it about me supposedly stealing someone else’s man, or perhaps your lingering resentment

toward your cousin for helping me teach you a lesson?”

“Both! I won’t let you off the hook, no matter what!” Yuliana declared, her anger apparent.

Caroline chuckled softly. “So, what do you plan to do?”

Caught off guard by the question, Yuliana blinked rapidly. “Well, I. L…”

Caroline prodded further, “What exactly? You want to hit me in public and humiliate your family?”

Yuliana’s frustration grew, and she blurted out, “Caroline! Don’t think you can do whatever you

want just because Evan supports you!”
