Chapter 919
Trapped in Love
The helicopter crashed with Evan on board? And he was dead? No, Caroline didnât believe Scott.
Caroline shook her head vigorously and exclaimed, âStop lying to me! I wonât believe you.
Iâm sure you want to ruin me and make Evan sad.
Besides, Neil and Kenny are okay.
Itâs all just your madeâup lie!â Knowing Caroline wouldnât believe him, he calmly took Carolineâs phone from the bedside cabinet.
âYou can make calls to seek confirmation,â Scott suggested indifferently.
Spotting her phone, Caroline quickly grabbed it to call Reuben.
She knew everything was a lie.
While searching for Reubenâs contact, Caroline couldnât find it due to her anxiety, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Desperate, she finally found Reubenâs contact when she had almost exhausted her patience.
She could feel her terror and uneasiness.
After a while, Reuben answered the call, âMs.
Shentonâ¦â He sounded gloomy.
Carolineâs heart was left hanging in suspense.
âReuben, whereâs Evan?â Reuben was silent.
Caroline suppressed her emotions and waited for Reuben to speak up.
After a long while, Reubenâs silence worried Caroline.
Caroline gripped her phone, gnashed her teeth, and demanded in a low tone, âIâm asking you.
Where is Evan?â âIâm sorry, Ms.
Shenton,â Reuben apologized solemnly.
âMr.Jordan, he⦠Heâs gotten into an accidentâ¦â Caroline lost control of her tears.
âWhat do you mean? Make it clearlâ Reuben inhaled deeply and field back his tears.
âMr.Jordan wanted to go back to the country in a helicopter, but the pilot was a man who wanted to harm himâ¦..â Reuben then roughly reiterated what he had heard from the black box.
Carolineâs head went blank, and she lost her selfâawareness.
âIâm sorry, Ms.Shenton.
It was my fault.
Iâm responsible for it.â However, Reubenâs words went over Carolineâs head.
Caroline didnât know what Reuben was saying, and there was only one thought in her mind: Evan was dead in a helicopter crash⦠Carolineâs eyes became blurry as she lost herself in a fierce turbulence of emotions.
Being engulfed by her emotions, her whole being was soaked in deep, crushing pain until she went numb.
An accidentâ¦.
Slowly, Carolineâs gloomy and listless eyes narrowed when she recalled something and turned to look at Scott nearby.
âItâs youâ¦â She stared at Scott fiercely and growled, âYou killed Evan!â Scott met Carolineâs gaze calmly, but his composure enraged her.
âWhy did you do that?â Caroline scowled at Scott.
âWhy did you do that, Scott? Did Evan do anything.
wrong? How about Neil and Kenny? Did they do anything wrong? Tell me why!â Scott gently reminded, âIt looks like youâve forgotten about two people, Carol,â Caroline held her breath.
Scott smirked.
âAnd your foster mother and⦠Lily.â Suddenly, Caroline sat up and exerted herself to slap Scott hard.
She wanted to slap him again, but Scott gripped her wrist.
Frantically, Caroline tried to struggle free.
Being attacked by her anger and grief, she roared, âBastard!â
