Caraline and Catherine stared at each other hatefully for several seconds. Both women had high egos and high self-esteem, and were unwilling to budge, feeling the most superior and capable."You're disgusting," Catherine snapped, rolling her eyes. "If these people knew who you are, they would stay away and sneer at you.""Don't talk about your ugliness, Catherine," Caraline retorted with a faint smile, "putting me down doesn't make you taller and better than me.""You're always so good at bragging." Catherine snorted, crossing her arms over her chest.Wilson just smiled at the argument. He chose not to interfere and let Catherine do as she pleased."I know you've always envied me, Catherine." Caraline stroked her left earring. "Is it because I have everything you want?""You must be joking." Catherine laughed even as her heart throbbed with pain. Caraline's guess was right on target."I can see that in your eyes.""Shut up!" snapped Catherine with a sharp glare. She was in a really ba

"I... planted a bomb in Caraline's car," Wilson said quietly, but Catherine could hear him."Are you crazy?" Catherine immediately pushed Wilson's body away, staring in disbelief. "You've gone too far, Wilson. Stop now or you will regret it.""Keep your voice down, Catherine." Wilson gave the code with a forefinger in front of his lips. "Let me explain first."Catherine chuckled softly, giving Wilson an incredulous look. "I won't help you if something gets out of hand.""Aren't you angry and upset with Caraline, Catherine? This is the perfect time to get back at her for all her arrogance. Of course, I won't go as far as killing that lowly woman. I'm just giving her a shock and a lesson. It's like scaring a child with a bunch of clowns."Catherine closed her eyes, massaging her forehead a few times. She honestly did not agree with Wilson's methods. However, she was upset and angry with Caraline. So, what should she choose now?"Tell me your plan, Wilson," Catherine finally said. She wo

James glanced at Jeremy and Jonathan before handing over the phone. He hoped his brothers wouldn't abandon him during a difficult situation."This can go quickly if you cooperate," Stevan said.James nodded slowly."Mr. James, I just wanted to confirm the video. You have nothing to worry about," Helen said as she looked at James, Jeremy, and Jonathan in turn.James suddenly stiffened. Did Helen mean the video of him filming the two suspicious men?"Mr. James," Helen called out.James shook his head several times. The man wanted to get away from this place, especially from an interrogation he never expected. He glanced at Jeremy and Jonathan a second time before finally handing the device to Helen.Helen immediately pressed the play button on the screen. Shortly after, the video showed two half-formed men talking about the plan and the explosion. However, that wasn't what Helen was focused on at the moment, it was the faces of the two men that she caught a glimpse of. After a second lo

Caraline let out a long breath as she took stock of her appearance. Her gaze often rested on the door of the room. There was no denying that she was extremely nervous at the moment. She felt uncomfortable even sitting down."Calm down," Diego said, "you look tense. I'm sure this meeting will go well."Caraline rolled her eyes, crossing her right leg over her left. She was trying to stay calm. However, when she remembered who Henry Hulbert was, she became nervous and scared at the same time. This meeting was so important to her and she didn't want to mess it up."If I'm being honest, I'm nervous too. I need to be able to prepare myself for anything that could happen between you and Henry Hulbert. If he falls for you, I'll have to back down and admit defeat. Isn't Henry Hulbert the perfect man that every woman dreams of?""Shut up," Caraline snapped, "you're not helping me calm down at all."Diego laughed. "I always like it when you're rude to me. It's like a sweet cake sprinkled with c

"You know, if we have hopes and desires, don't be afraid to wish for something as high as possible. Instead of just meeting him, why don't we choose to spend time with him," Caroline said.Diego gave a small nod. "So, can I hope that one day you and I""Keep hoping for your wish to come true. Don't forget to keep fighting until the end," Caraline interjected.Caraline let out a long breath, turning to Diego. "You are an amazing partner. I couldn't have gotten to this point without your help.""You've been amazing too, Caraline. You're making me even more convinced that you're a woman of great value."Caraline rolled her eyes, extending a hand. Diego returned the gesture. The two shook hands, then shared a smile."I hope you don't forget your promise.""I'll cancel it if you keep bringing it up.""Alright. I'll wait for you at the location. There's a gathering of media that we need to feed with our words. You'd better hurry." Diego waved goodbye, walking away from Caraline, and handing

Caraline closed her eyes briefly, squeezing her dress with both hands. She wanted to scream as she stomped the ground vigorously. "I-I... I was just going to check on Deric." Lucy pressed the watch. "Two minutes starts from now.""Oh my." Caraline quickly took off her shoes, running barefoot toward Deric's room. Once there, she banged on the door. "Get up, slacker!"Caraline rolled her eyes when she saw Lucy on the porch, glancing at her watch. "Hey, did you hear me? I'll shut you up if you don't come out in five. One, two, three, four""Miss Caraline," said Thomas who came out of Deric's residence."Where is Deric? And why are you in his residence?" Caraline asked in rapid succession."I have to be in the same place as Mr. Jacob according to the prescribed security standards. I have received emergency information from Mr. Stevan," Thomas replied."Wake Deric up right now," Caraline ordered. As she waited, she stood uncomfortably, especially when she saw Lucy on the porch."You were

The car entered the gates of Caraline's house. Jeremy, Jonathan, and James got out quickly."This house gets grander every time I see it," Jonathan said."We'd better hurry," Jeremy said as he started walking. "James behave yourself or we'll get into trouble again.""Okay." James nodded weakly, following behind his brothers. His gaze suddenly fell on Deric who was talking to someone by the lake. He paused for a moment, squinting, trying to guess who it was that was talking to his half-brother. "That looks like the driver who brought the cripple Deric on his wedding day. But that man's face kind of reminds me""James, what are you doing?" Jeremy paused for a moment, staring at his brother with a sharp gaze. His gaze then shifted to Deric and a man not far from him. "Hurry up before we're too late. There's no point in spending time thinking about that cripple.""Okay." James hurriedly followed.Jeremy, Jonathan, and James entered the room where they had met Caraline the other day. Caral

Deric and Thomas both chose to remain silent.James observed Thomas with a probing gaze. "Your face reminds me of a figure""James, what are you doing?" Jonathan appeared from the gap in the window."I don't think it's possible. There are seven people with the same face in the whole world. That's what I heard on one of those television shows." James opened the rear car door."You seem to have changed after my departure," Deric said."That's because you're a poison that stunts my development," James retorted snappishly."Isn't that because your brain never gets used?" Deric chuckled."Get lost." James chuckled, going back to watching his fancy watch rather than dealing with Deric.The car Jeremy, Jonathan, and James were in left Caraline's residence."I'm sorry," Thomas said suddenly."Be careful," Deric replied.Deric and Thomas left the front yard. As they were walking towards their residence, Caraline, Helen, Lucy and Stevan appeared from the main door. They seemed to be busy discus
