Chapter 16
Caroline was speechless again. She wondered if the urge to strangle people was contagious since she
really wanted to strangle Jacob right at that moment. She immediately hid behind him to prevent
Nathan from seeing her face: “Mr. Faraday, please don’t tell anyone about me pretending to be ugly,
especially your Uncle Nathan
“Why?” Jacob asked in puzzlement.
“Because the reason behind this is very complicated. Mr. Faraday, please don’t tell anyone about it.
Please keep it a secret for
me.”
Seeing that Caroline looked so solemn, Jacob nodded and agreed, “Okay, I promise to keep your
secret, but you also have to promise me one thing.”
“What thing?”
“Be my girlfriend.”
Caroline was lost for words. Jacob was really fishing in troubled waters. “No, Mr. Faraday. I’ve already
said that I don’t like you. Please don’t waste your time on me, okay?”
“Then you have to give me a chance. Let’s try it. You’ll be my girlfriend for a month. If you haven’t fallen
in love with me in a month, I won’t bother you anymore”
Caroline wondered if she had a choice, but quickly determined that she didn’t because Nathan had
already walked toward them. He was getting closer to them. If she said no to Jacob, everything would
be exposed.
“Okay, I promise. I’ll go fix my makeup now.” Caroline turned and ran away.
At that time. Nathan came over. He glanced in the direction where Caroline disappeared and pursed
his thin lips in displeasure. “Jacob, what are you yelling about here? I hear you asking me to come over
to see Caroline’s face. What’s wrong with her face?”
“Oh, Uncle Nathan, I asked you to come over and see how ugly Caroline’s face is! I found that she’s a
little uglier today compared to yesterday.”
Caroline, who had just finished her makeup and returned, was voiceless. She thought, ‘I better thank
you then!”
“Ugly woman, faster, come here. Uncle Nathan. I’m officially announcing to you that this ugly woman is
my girlfriend, and she has promised to date me.”
Caroline felt Nathan’s cold and sharp gaze fall on her, and he stared at her for some time. She had just
gotten out of his bed. Now, she had become Jacob’s girlfriend. She would not blame Nathan for
thinking she was a shameless woman.
“Mr. Faraday, the meeting will start in half an hour. It’s time for us to go back to the company. At that
time, Alfred reminded Nathan in a low voice.
Nathan withdrew his gaze and left..
After Nathan finally left, Caroline slowly relaxed.
“Ugly woman, I’m very loyal, right? I didn’t reveal anything about your act. Let’s go on a date. I’ll treat
you to a movie tonight.
“No thanks, Mr. Faraday. I don’t want to watch a movie. I’m leaving Caroline left.
As soon as Caroline left, a string of melodic ringtones resounded. Liliana called her. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Caroline answered, “Hello, Mom.”
“Caroline, come home now!” Liliana hung up the phone coldly.
Caroline took a taxi back to the Sullivan residence.
At the Sullivan residence, Caroline entered the living room and heard Shirley crying. “Mom, this is the
text message Caroline sent me. She deliberately asked me to meet at Room No. 809 to let Quinton
assault me!”
Shirley was disheveled, and there were bruises on her body. She looked so miserable.
Liliana held Shirley dearly in her arms and comforted the latter. When she saw Caroline was back, she
immediately stood up and accused. “Caroline, you are so scheming and vicious. How dare you lie to
your sister and make her go to Room No. 809 to deliver her to Quinton? Do you know what type of
person he is
Caroline stood in the living room, looked at Liliana, and smiled gently. “Oh, Mom, so you actually know
what kind of person Quinton is. I thought you didn’t know”
