Chapter 57

Eddy’s body shuddered violently with anger. He looked at Caroline as she stumbled away. Suddenly, he felt that the distance between them was getting larger. It felt like they were worlds apart.

He felt a strange sense of pani

“Okay.”

Silence fell over the bathroom. Except for the screeching of a wheelchair. Caroline’s hands trembled with fury. She couldn’t hold it any longer. She pushed open the cubicle door and saw Layla, whose face turned white.

Caroline had slapped Layla. Layla’s face swelled up almost immediately.

“Caroline, you crazy bitch!” Layla stood up from her wheelchair and waved her arms around hysterically.

Not one to back down easily, Caroline shoved Layla. The force of which was so great that it sent Layla and her wheelchair tumbling.

Lying on the floor, Layla held a hand over the bruise on her forehead. She turned to Caroline, saying, “Caroline, you’re crazy. Is this how a daughter of the Evans family behaves?”

“I’m crazy because of you.” Caroline’s eyes turned red. “I tolerated you, but you took it for granted. Tell me–my parents threatened me with their lives. Was it your idea?”

Layla gave a sly grin. “Is there a problem?”

If Caroline wanted anyone to blame, she could blame Eddy’s second uncle for it. He’d said he’d find her a kidney donor abroad. On top of that, he’d asked Sean to oversee this matter–the one man Layla hated to see.

Hence, Layla had taken it upon herself to make Caroline marry Eddy before Sean could find a donor. That way, Caroline could die in the surgery, and her death would put everything to an end.

Caroline pulled Layla’s hair so forcefully that her knuckles turned white. Yet the searing pain did nothing to curb Layla’s smugness.
