However, as she glanced at the caller ID displaying Caroline’s name, a glimmer of coldness flickered in her eyes. She hesitated briefly, then swiftly ended the call and slipped the phone back into Evan’s coat, feigning nonchalance.

With determination, Caroline clenched her teeth and hailed a taxi to make her way to the casino. She desperately hoped Evan would return her call.
