Nathan took out his phone and sent a text message to Shirley. Why haven't you come back?]
At that moment, Shirley, who was at the Sullivan residence, was startled by the message. "Caroline already agreed to it. Why hasn't she returned?" she wondered.. Shirley directly dialed Caroline's phone number,
However, her call did not get through. The cold and mechanical automated voice recording replied, 'Sorry, the phone you are trying to reach is unavailable." Shirley thought, "Caroline turned off her phone? Why did she turn off her phone? What about Nathan?"
Shirley hurriedly sent Nathan a message. [Honey, there's something I need to take care of here. I'll return as soon as possible.]
Soon, half an hour passed, and eventually, an hour passed. Caroline's phone remained off.
Shirley was like a cat on a hot tin roof when she finally managed to get through to Caroline's phone.
"Hey, Caroline, what are you doing? Why did you turn off your phone? Do you know how long you left my husband waiting there?" Shirley asked.
"Shirley, where is my emerald? Give me my emerald."
"The emerald...
"Shirley, I thought you were aware that I was the one who called the shots. If you don't give me the emerald, I refuse to see Nathan!"
Shirley gritted her teeth angrily as she found herself being threatened.
"Shirley, where is my emerald? I can wait for you, but I'm afraid Nathan can't wait."
Caroline's words made Shirley want to throw up. "Okay, Caroline, I'll give you the emerald tomorrow. But you must accompany my husband tonight, or you will bring us all down, and it can only end with our mutual destruction!"
Once again, Shirley was the one who proposed the terms of exchange.
Caroline did not want to continue the farce. Last night, he had utterly humiliated her. He hated her so much that she no longer wanted to play the role of a replacement.
However, she had no choice but to nod in agreement. "Okay, I'll go. But, Shirley, this really is the last time."
Tonight was her last time acting as Shirley's replacement.
Back at the Faraday manor, Nathan waited for Shirley after showering.
After waiting a long time, Yuna's voice finally sounded from outside. "Shelley, you're back. Have you had dinner? I'll get someone to heat the food for you."
Nathan walked out and spotted the slender figure.
Caroline had returned and was currently being fussed over by Yuna. The former had lost her mother when she was very young, and although she had only been with Yuna for a very short time, she truly experienced the warm affection of a mother from the older woman.

"It's okay, Yuna. I've eaten already."
Yuna immediately took out an emerald bracelet and clasped it around Caroline's slender wrist. "Shelley, this is for you"
"Yuna, I can't take this."
This emerald bracelet was a family heirloom and was obviously very valuable. Caroline felt guilty. She felt like a liar for deceiving Yuna's feelings.
She was not Yuna's daughter-in-law. She was a fake.
"Take it, Shelley. The bracelet was always meant for my daughter-in-law From now on, this will be your home. If others bully you, tell Nathan. If Nathan bullies you tell me! No one in the world can bully you!" Yuna smiled.
Caroline felt a warm feeling in her heart. It was so nice to have Yuna as her mother. For the first time, she actually envied Shirl
The emerald bracelet belonged to Shirley, who would be returning soon. After all. Shirley was Yuna's real daughter-in-law.
In the future, Caroline would never come here again. When she returned to being Caroline. Yuna would never be able to recognize her.
Caroline took out a scented sachet and gave it to Yana Yuna, I sewed it myself. It contains some aromatics. It's not worth much. You can keep it with you in the future...
Caroline noticed a strange expression on Yuna's face, but she could not say anything.
Yuna took the scented sachet and smelled a refreshing scent: She liked it very much. She wore the scented sachet on her body and said, "Wow, it looks good. Shelley. I like this gift so much? At that moment, a steady footstep sounded behind them Nathan was here.
He looked at her and said, "You're back."
