Chapter 96 Insensible

Caroline was rendered speechless. ‘Master?‘

She observed the old man carefully, noticing a slight resemblance to Evan in his features.

‘Is he Evan’s grandfather?‘

Caroline couldn’t be certain. She was unfamiliar with the members of the Jordan family, despite

being with Evan for three years.

Feeling doubtful, she walked over to the sofa and sat down.

Draco then sized her up before he uttered icily, “You’re pretty but you’re too insensible.”

Caroline furrowed her brows lightly, perplexed.

‘When did I offend this old man?‘

Remaining calm, she asked, “Sir, may I know what I did wrong to warrant such harsh words?”

“Harsh?” Draco scoffed. “Leaving Evan would be the right thing to do. You should know it’s the

right thing to do.”

Caroline chuckled. “I want to leave, but Evan won’t let me go.”

“Is that the truth, or have you used some tricks to ensnare him?” Draco interrogated.

Caroline replied, “Sir, Evan is the leader of MK in the Etes area. He holds immeasurable power and

enjoys a superior status. He’s intelligent and resourceful. Do you think he wouldn’t see through

any tricks I might play?”

Draco assessed Caroline. As expected, she was deserving of her previous position as the head

secretary at MK for three years. Her manner of speaking was composed and rational. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Unfortunately, her background was too humble, so she would never be accepted into the Jordan

family.

“I will offer you one million, along with a villa in a city of your choice. You can select the location.

I only have one condition: leave Evan.”

“I’ve never cared about my identity or status. As for the money…” Caroline flashed a faint smile.

“I’m not concerned about that right now. Instead of speaking to me here, you’d better try to

persuade Evan to let me go.”

Draco scoffed in response. “You don’t want money? Then how do you explain being my son’s mistress for three years, huh?”

Caroline found herself at a loss for words.

Notably, Draco’s appearance bore a resemblance to someone who could be Evan’s grandfather.

However, Caroline decided to focus on the matter at hand and replied, “This is my private affair, so

I don’t have to tell you everything.”

Draco then inquired, “So, you refuse to leave?”

Caroline reiterated with indifference, “I will naturally leave if Evan lets go of me.”

“Fine. Don’t even dream of getting anything I offered just now.”

“Not even for a moment,” Caroline calmly replied.

Draco rose from his seat. “It seems you’re not as clever as I thought.”

With that, he walked out of Villa Rosa.

Once the door closed, Lily hurriedly approached Caroline. “Ms. Shenton, you were so daring. That

was Mr. Jordan’s father.”

She couldn’t deny feeling nervous.

In the past, she would have panicked and carefully weighed her words. But now, all Caroline could

think about was recovering well and leaving Evan.

With a faint smile, Caroline reassured Lily, “It’s alright, Lily. I spoke the truth. There’s nothing to

be afraid of.”

Draco called her foolish for not leaving herself an exit strategy. She had chosen to reject the

money when it was offered to her.

Currently, she had over 400,000 dollars saved. That should be enough to support herself and her

children in the future while she found a job.

If she had accepted the money, it would have confirmed that she used tricks to cling to Evan.

After calming herself, she said, “Lily, I have some unspoken troubles, but I can’t reveal them for
