Chapter 99 Wait and See

Alex was left speechless. He responded, “By the way, you’ve been looking into Caroline’s

background lately. Do you suspect that she was the one who saved you?”

“Mhmm.” Evan was straightforward with Alex.

“I don’t believe in so many coincidenazces. On the other hand, Daniella doesn’t seem familiar to me.”

“What did Caroline say?” Alex continued to inquire.

“She told me she doesn’t remember what happened that year.”

Alex fell into deep thought. “Could there have been some kind of accident in between?”

At the mention of that, Evan fell silent for a moment.

“Reuben discovered that Caroline was hospitalized for a period of time during her childhood.”

Suddenly, something clicked in Alex’s mind.

“That could very well be the reason for her memory loss,” Alex suggested. “I think it would be wise

to have someone investigate her hospitalization in detail.”

Evan narrowed his eyes and after a while, he took out his phone and sent a text to Reuben.

[Look into the reason for Caroline’s hospitalization back then.]

On Thursday, after submitting her design, Caroline asked Paige to accompany her for a prenatal

check–up at a rural hospital.

With four months into her pregnancy, her belly was starting to show a slight bulge.

The doctor smiled wryly and commented, “It’s hard to find a woman in Angelbay City with such a discreet baby bump. Not to mention, you’re carrying triplets!” 1

Caroline and Paige smiled but didn’t respond.

After leaving the hospital, Paige touched Caroline’s belly and suggested, “I think you should start wearing looser clothes.”

Caroline agreed, “You’re right. Since I’m pregnant with triplets, I need to wear loose–fitting clothes to hide it well ”

“Let’s go shopping then.”

Paige pulled Caroline into the car and they headed to a shopping mall.

They took the elevator to the third floor, where the maternity and baby section was located. There, Caroline spotted Daniella accompanied by two bodyguards.

Paige clenched her teeth in anger. “What terrible luck! We run into that arrogant bitch even when

we’re just out shopping.”

Observing the bags in the bodyguards‘ hands, Caroline remarked, “Looks like she’s been shopping

too.”

Paige linked her arm with Caroline’s and hurriedly walked to the nearest maternity store. Just as they were selecting loose–fitting clothes, they heard Daniella’s voice.

“What a coincidence! Running into you guys here.”

Paige was about to argue with Daniella, but Caroline stopped her. “There’s no point in arguing

with her.”

Reluctantly, Paige held her tongue. However, Daniella approached them eagerly.

“Why are you buying clothes like these?” Daniella smirked arrogantly.

“Are you afraid of being forced to have an abortion if they find out?”

Annoyed, Paige returned the clothes to the rack and glared at Daniella. “Don’t force me to publicly

humiliate you!”

However, Daniella brushed off Paige’s words and continued to criticize Caroline.

“These clothes aren’t cheap, but I suppose it’s only fitting. I’m sure you’ve made quite a lot of money by selling your body during your three–year affair with Evan.”

Caroline shot Daniella a cold glare. “I guess I didn’t slap you hard enough the other day. You seem

to be itching for more, aren’t you?”

A hint of panic flickered in Daniella’s eyes before she regained her composure. “Go ahead, try

slapping me if you dare!”

“Do the Xanders know how arrogant you are?”

Caroline glanced at the expressionless bodyguards.

Daniella chuckled and asked, “Mateo, Felix, would you testify against me?”

“No, miss,” the two bodyguards replied in unison.

Daniella let out a burst of unscrupulous laughter. “Did you hear that? Trust me, they will take

action against you if you dare to touch me now. Tsk! Even if you accidentally die right now,

nothing will happen to me.”

“The Xander family may protect you, but Evan will despise you to the core,” Caroline replied

calmly.

Daniella’s lips twitched, and her gaze turned malicious.

“What else can you do besides shamelessly using Evan to suppress me?”

Caroline cracked a faint smile. “It’s more than enough that he can suppress you, isn’t it?”

Biting her lip, a wave of deep anger surged within Daniella. “My grandfather won’t let you get

away with this. Just wait and see.

“Oh,” Caroline responded expressionlessly.

Infuriated, Daniella stormed away from the scene.

Curiosity got the better of Paige, and she asked, “Did you really slap her?”
