Chapter 75 This Is Humiliating

After the guests had presented their gifts, Grayson Xander instructed someone to fetch Neil and bring him to the study.

Not wanting to leave Caroline behind, Neil insisted on her accompanying him. As they entered the study, the old man’s expression appeared troubled, reflecting the turmoil within him.

“Why have you brought this mistress here?” His tone was laced with fierce disapproval.

Neil frowned. “Take a closer look at Caroline, Grandpa. Don’t you think she looks a lot like mom?”

Grayson scoffed dismissively. “Many people in this world bear resemblances to others. And if you insist, Evan’s fiancée also has eyes similar to your mother’s. Furthermore, she has a red cinnabar mole on her earlobe!”

face

“But Caroline has the same mole too! Grandpa, please don’t let her status cloud your judgment!” Neil’s voice grew harsh and forceful, catching Caroline off guard as she turned her head him. It was the first time she had heard him speak in such a manner.

Enraged, the old man pounded the table with his fist. “No member of the Xander family would

ever stoop so low as to become someone’s mistress! This is a disgrace!”

Neil’s handsome face stiffened, his lips moving as if he wanted to explain himself, but he was abruptly interrupted by his grandfather.

With a furious gaze fixed on Caroline, the old man bellowed, “You are not welcome in our family!

Caroline sneered in response. “Master Xander, I have never sought to be associated with the

Xanders. If it weren’t for Mr. Xander’s incessant pleas, I would not have bothered to come. And you,

the supposedly wise elder, seem to lack any virtue at all.”

Neil stared at her in shock, while his grandfather’s eyes widened in a fit of rage. Trembling with anger, he pointed fiercely towards the door. “Leave! Get out of here!”

Maintaining a flat smile, Caroline retorted, “Even if you hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t have stayed.”

With those words, she turned to leave, but Neil swiftly stepped forward to intercept her path.

“Don’t go just yet, Caroline. Let me talk to Grandpa.

She paused and cast a cold gaze upon him. “Do you still not understand? I endured all those humiliations until now, hoping you will keep your promise. If there’s nothing else, please let me go. Thank you

“Neill Why are you holding back such a lowly woman?! Get her out of my sight!” Grayson roared.

Hearing that, smirked at Neil mockingly before departing from the study.

Meanwhile, Neil’s once warm expression gradually turned cold as he stared at his grandfather in a

mix of panic and determination. “Grandpa, if you won’t believe me, I will find evidence to prove

her identity!”

With those resolute words, he chased after Caroline, leaving the study behind.

Unbeknownst to Caroline, as she made her way toward the courtyard, she unexpectedly

encountered Daniella along the way.

“How shameless of you to attend such an event, Caroline,” she sneered.

Caroline maintained a stoic expression. I see even two slaps aren’t enough to shut that foul mouth of yours. Want more?”

Daniella’s demeanor shifted. “Caroline! You better know your place! I’m carrying Evan’s child. If

you dare–lay a hand on me again, let’s see if he would protect you instead of me!”

Caroline scoffed. “Who exactly is being protected by whom? Don’t forget about your Nic.

“Caroline!” Daniella’s face paled. “I won’t let you live peacefully, I promise you that!”

Caroline simply responded with an indifferent “Oh before walking purposefully towards the door.

Daniella’s frustration was evident as her failed threat seemed to have no effect on Caroline, as

she were made of cotton candy.

She would relish seeing Caroline’s arrogance crumble two months later!

As Caroline departed, Neil happened to chase after her in his car, calling out in a panic, “Caroline!”

She halted and looked at him. “What can I do for you, Mr. Xander?”

I’ll drive you home. It’s difficult to find a taxi here,” he offered.

Caroline hesitated briefly before getting into the car.

Throughout the journey, Neil incessantly apologized for what had transpired earlier.

Caroline responded with a flat tone as she gazed out of the window. “It’s already happened, Mr.

Xander. Your repeated apologies won’t change that.”

His concerned eyes bore into her. “Caroline, do you not believe what I said either?”

“So what if I do?” She turned her head to face him. “Do you have any proof?”

He clenched the steering wheel, his hands visibly tense.

“I will find evidence that you are my sister,” he asserted.

She forced a smile. “Why didn’t you ask if I even want to join your family?”

He was taken aback. “Caroline, you…”

“Mr. Xander, did you not see where your grandfather stands? If I truly am your sister, how would your family treat me, considering I was Evan’s lover? Where would I fit in?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Caroline pursed her lips and fell silent.

From another perspective, even if she was indeed Neil’s sister, why did her biological mother

abandon her at an orphanage instead of entrusting her to the Xander family?

That was the truth she sought to uncover, rather than embracing a relationship that seemed to

materialize out of thin air.
