Trapped in Love

Chapter 846 This Is Not Vain but Confident 

Evan arrived at Villa Rosa by dusk, picking up Caroline and the children before heading to Grand Angelbay Hotel.

They reached the hotel’s entrance half an hour later, Evan carried Liora while Caroline held Tyler and

Axel’s hands as they took the elevator to the private room.

Thomas, Greta, and Yuliana were already waiting there. Upon their arrival, Thomas and Greta eagerly approached Caroline, Evan, and the children.

“You’re finally here. Come and give me a hug,” Greta exclaimed with a wide smile as she looked at the children.

“Aunt Greta, Uncle Thomas,” Caroline greeted them. She instructed the children, “Say hi to Granduncle Tom and Grandaunt Greta, my darlings.”

The children followed Caroline’s lead.

Greta took their hands and led them to unwrap their presents.

Thomas extended his hand to Evan, saying, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Mr. Jordan.”

Evan shook his hand courteously. “No need to be so formal. Just call me by my name.”

Thomas smiled, then turned to Yuliana, who was still seated. “Yulia, come and say hi to Evan.”

Yuliana blushed, stood up awkwardly, and scrutinized Evan in secret. She approached Evan and Caroline with rigid movements, keeping her head lowered.

“Evan,” she called out softly, then looked at Caroline and greeted awkwardly, “Hello, cousin Caroline.”

Caroline was surprised. ‘Why is Yuliana greeting me proactively today?”

Despite the awkwardness in Yuliana’s manner, Caroline was pleased that Yuliana did not use offensive language as she had in the past.

Caroline smiled and asked, “Yulia, is my brother here?”

Yuliana replied, “I think he’s on his way. He’s been busy with work lately.”

Caroline nodded, glancing at Thomas and Evan, who stood silently by the side. “Shall we take a seat?”

Evan nodded, and both he and Thomas gestured to each other to sit down.

Softly, Yuliana told Caroline before joining the crowd, “Frankly, I don’t know what he sees in you. Why

Caroline smiled faintly. “What do you consider outstanding? Is it a graduate from an elite university, good etiquette, or being skilled at making money?”

Yuliana sneered. “All. Evan has all these good qualities!”

“If a person with all three traits is outstanding, then am I not considered one too?” Caroline asked nonchalantly.

Yuliana was stunned. She frowned and said contemptuously, “I’ve met plenty of vain people, but none as vain as you!”

Caroline corrected, “This is not considered vain but confident.”

Caroline walked away without allowing Yuliana to talk back and sat down next to Evan.

Yuliana wanted to approach, but Greta said, “Come here, Yulia.”

Yuliana was displeased as she walked over to Greta.

Greta pulled Yuliana’s hand and scolded softly, “You said something unpleasant to Carol earlier, right?”

Yuliana admitted, “Yes! I don’t think she’s a worthy match for Evan!”

Greta was exasperated. “If Caroline isn’t a worthy match, are you? She’s your cousin. Why do you always have to be so hostile to her?”

“It’s because I have feelings for Evan! I don’t think any woman, including me, makes a worthy match for him!” Yuliana declared.

Greta glared at her. “If Caroline is no good, would someone like Evan take an interest in her? He loves

Carol, so there must be something about her that he’s attracted to. How about you then? What do you have?”
