Trapped in Love

Chapter 88 I’m Scared

After finally descending the mountain, Caroline struggled to move forward, her head heavy and her stomach sick. She lifted her numb feet and trudged toward the distant light. But as she took two steps, darkness engulfed her vision, and she fell face–first into the snow.

Back at Villa Rosa, Daniella sat in the living room, her heart filled with panic. Nic had informed her that the confidential information hadn’t been sold at all. However, he still demanded the 70,000 dollars from her within three days.

She was contemplating how to ask Evan for the money when a commotion outside the door caught her attention.

Quickly standing up, Daniella’s eyes widened when she saw Evan’s fierce expression. Instantly, the thought of asking for money vanished from her mind. She hurriedly approached him and grabbed his arm, her voice filled with concern. “What’s wrong, Evan? You look terrible.”

“Let go,” he said coldly, causing her to retract her hands in fear.

her, then promptly headed upstairs.

she noticed that Caroline hadn’t returned home. After pondering for a moment, she came to a

realization.

Evan must have had a fight with Caroline, which was why he returned home in such a furious

state. Caroline’s actions had made him wary, hence his instruction for Daniella to stay away from
