“No particular reason, Mr. Faraday. I’m not worth it. Don’t waste time on me.” After saying that, Caroline
left.
But Jacob followed her.
“Mr. Faraday, why are you following me?”
“That person doesn’t look like a good person. I’m afraid that he might come back to harass you again.
I’ll stay here tonight. You can go in.” Jacob was paranoid.
“Do as you wish.”
Caroline entered the mansion and closed the door.
After taking a shower, Caroline looked down from within the room through the floor- to-ceiling window.
Jacob’s Ferrari sports car had been parked outside. He was standing guard.
She dared not reciprocate the boy’s sincerity. He was pure and passionate. She did not feel she was
worth it.
Because she could not reciprocate the same kind of love for him.
He would meet a better girl than her in the future.
Caroline went to bed, shut her eyes, and slept.
At the same moment, in the presidential suite of a six-star hotel in a foreign country, Nathan stood in
front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a black suit. The pocket of the suit was stuffed with a square
towel, and all his bangs were combed upward, revealing his forehead and handsome face. It made him
look like a business elite.
“Mr. Faraday, this is the result of the investigation. Caleb was sentenced ten years ago and was
imprisoned for nine years. He was released not long ago. He is a street gangster and has been idle all
the time.”
“At that time, Ms. Sullivan was still very young, and all the trial information was sealed. To protect her,
the information could not be disclosed, so we only found this photo.”
Alfred handed over a photo
Nathan took it and saw a ten-year-old Caroline.
It was very cold at that time, and winter had come. Everyone in the trial wore jackets, but the ten-year-
old Caroline only wore a faded dress. The dress was oversized, which made her look very weak.

Chapter 181
Her right face had just been slashed by a knife, and the doctor stitched dozens of stitches over it. The
wound looked like a bright red centipede crawling on her face. It was ugly and obvious.
However, there was no expression on her small face. She did not complain about the pain and did not
cry. The gaze from her big black eyes was extremely cold. Her numbness and shattered state could go
unnoticeable..
The ten-year-old Caroline was so painful to look at.
He knew that she had been pretending to be ugly, but he did not know that there was a serious injury
on her face.
She was seriously injured.
As Nathan was holding the photo, he could not help but raise his hand to gently stroke her devastated
face.
She was cold and never asked for help. She never asked for help when in trouble. The door to her
heart was tightly shut and was never opened to anyone.
Nathan looked at the ten-year-old Caroline, and it was the first time that he was so close to her.
“Mr. Faraday, this has gone viral online. ‘Caroline, go back to the countryside’ is still top on search
trends. The horrible stepfather is also pestering Ms. Sullivan. Do you want me to get someone to deal
with it?”
Nathan did not say anything. He took out his phone. Sure enough, there was no notification.
She never took the initiative to contact him.
Nathan dialed her number.
Caroline was lying on the bed, but she could not fall asleep.
It was so cold under the quilt, and there was no warmth at all. She could not fall asleep, no matter how
hard she tried.
At that moment, the phone started to play a melodious ringtone.
The phone screen displayed “Nathan” as the caller ID, and Caroline’s heart sk ipped a beat. “Why is he
calling me?” Caroline thought.
They had not been in touch these days. After all, their relationship was over.
Caroline hit the button and said, “Hello, Mr. Faraday.”
