Chapter 42 Let’s Not Trouble Her

Caroline was reluctantly dragged over to Evan, all the while feeling lost and bewildered

She overheard Alex’s words to Daniella. ‘Ms. Love, it’s better to let Ms. Shenton handle this

difficult task.”

Caroline couldn’t comprehend why she had to be the one to undertake such an thankless

responsibility.

She glanced at Evan, who was now unconscious and drunk after a mere half–hour of drinking. She

was secretly alarmed.

How much had they made him drink?

Daniella was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Alex to bring Caroline into the picture.

Suppressing the upset feelings, she forced a smile “Mr. Price, allow me to take care of Evan. Ms. Shenton hasn’t been feeling well lately, so let’s not trouble her.”

“Ms. Love, there are certain things you should know when Evan drinks. Are you confident that you can handle it?” Alex inquired.

“Of course,” Daniella replied confidently..

Caroline was rendered speechless.

She couldn’t fathom why Alex insisted on her taking on this role.

Evan and Daniella would inevitably end up together sooner or later.

Besides, she was merely an outsider.

Before Alex could continue, she interjected, “Mr. Price! Let Ms. Love handle him. I’m leaving!” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

He furrowed his brow and observed her as she departed. After some contemplation, he followed after her.

“Ms. Shenton, you’re aware that Evan is allergic to goose, right? Ms. Love fed him some. As his secretary, I presume you have allergy medication with you. It would be wise to administer it while we wait for the doctor.”

Caroline remained silent.

Alex continued while she stood there, quiet and pensive. “If you don’t take care of him, then Evan can only blame himself for being so blind that he chose a secretary who doesn’t care if he dies at all!”

With that, he left and returned to his seat. 1

Caroline struggled with her emotions as she stood in place.

Should she go?

If she did not, Evan would undoubtedly suffer. She had witnessed his allergic reactions before, and

they were frightening.

However, she did not want to ruin his time with Daniella.

After pondering it over, she decided to give the medicine to Daniella and then leave.

A sly smirk formed on Alex’s face when he saw her hastily departing.

Lucas, slightly tipsy, leaned on his shoulder. “Why are you trying to get Ms. Shenton involved with

Evan? Ms. Love looks pretty great, no?”

Alex pushed him away. “Can’t you see that Evan has been ignoring Ms. Love? As his friend, it’s my duty to push someone that he likes toward him.”

Lucas tutted and said, “You’re such a meddler…”

In the hotel lobby, Caroline persuaded the front desk to provide her with Daniella’s room number.

Just as the elevator doors opened, she coincidentally saw Daniella, who entered the elevator

before Caroline could call out to her.

Frowning, Caroline realized that her best option was to go directly to Daniella’s room in search of

Evan

When she found the room, she pressed the doorbell several times.

Finally, the door swung open, revealing Evan with an unusually flushed face.

Without wasting a moment, she rummaged through her bag for the medicine, her eyes fixed on his flushed complexion.

“They told me you ate goose. I’m here to give you the medicine… Ah…”

Evan grabbed her waist and pulled her into the room before she could finish her sentence.

He held her tightly, burying his head in her neck.

His voice was passionate and rough, carrying an unprecedented urgency. “Take off your clothes!”

Caroline was stunned. How could these symptoms occur if it was an allergy?

As he delivered a warm and overpowering kiss, she noticed a redness on his neck but no signs of a

rash.

In that moment, she realized the truth. 1

That b*stard Alex had deceived her!

Daniella intended to return to Evan’s hotel room after concluding her phone call.

However, she suddenly heard soft moans that would make anyone blush coming from the room,

causing her to freeze and furrow her brow.

Who was it in there?!

She had only stepped out to speak with Nic on the phone, so who was taking advantage of this

opportunity?!

Though she possessed the key card, she hesitated to enter. She believed Evan would be furious if

she entered without his permission.

She quickly took the lift down to the front desk and claimed she needed to review the security

camera footage as she had misplaced something.

Her hands clenched as she observed Caroline appearing outside the room through the screen.

She had an intense urge to shatter the screen in front of her.

She thought tonight’s plan would guarantee her success in becoming his girlfriend!

Who knew that Caroline would suddenly emerge and ruin her scheme!

Resentment grew within her.

Since Caroline had acted so shamelessly, she couldn’t be blamed for executing her own plan

ahead of schedule!

At 5 a.m., Caroline discreetly exited the room, fully dressed.

She needed to hurry back to Villa Rosa, as the first draft for the competition had to be submitted.

by 8 a m..

Only two hours remained until the submission deadline. She needed to review her draft one last

time before sending it out.

Meanwhile, Daniella emerged from the corridor just as Caroline left the room.

With clenched teeth, she watched Caroline’s departure. Her tired eyes were bloodshot.

She had considered leaving last night but couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Instead, she had waited the entire night, hoping to find a way to salvage the situation.

Her instincts had been correct–Caroline would be the first to leave the room.
