SWNOVELS Chapter 953
Chapter 953 Caroline's pale lips trembled. "When was it?" Bryce said, "It's been a while. Mr.
Jordan wanted us to complete it as soon as possible, so my workers worked day and night under my command." Caroline suddenly recalled her complaint to Evan, expressing her frustration with the neighbor's constant renovations.
She had also pointed out the peculiar habits of the villa's owner, urging the workers to work relentlessly.
Caroline thought, 'How was Evan's expression at the time? Why haven't I observed it properly?"
The wind blew on Caroline's face and her tear-filled eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and said shakily, "Alright, I'll pay you. Please hand me the keys." Bryce nodded repeatedly. "Thank you so much, Ms. Shenton." "Don't mention it." Caroline looked at Scott. "Please return my phone to me." Scott glanced at the bodyguard, and the latter returned the phone to Caroline right away.
Caroline paid the final renovation fees and took the keys from Bryce.
After Bryce left, Caroline stared at the villa and said, "Please give me some
time to check out the house." Scott nodded.
Caroline walked toward the villa.
She saw the password lock on the door, held out her hand, and typed in her birth date without any hesitation.
The door opened with a click.
Caroline bit her lower lip tightly to suppress her emotions as she opened the door.
The warm decor came into her view as soon as the door opened.
All the rooms on the first floor were combined, creating a large living space.
Liora's favorite plush toys decorated the corner of the living space, as well as a well-placed sofa and decorations.
The image of Liora holding Tyler and Axel's hands, playing joyously in the living room, flooded Caroline's mind.
Once, she would sit on the sofa with Evan, observing the children with faint smiles on their faces.
What was meant to be wonderful had now transformed into nothingness.
Her heart wrenched in pain, and she propped herself against the wall, slowly dropping to her knees and clutching her chest.
She couldn't hold back the breakdown.
Caroline thought, 'Evan...where are you? Are you going to abandon the
house you designed? Are your promises no longer valid? Will you come back?" Outside the villa.
Scott's gaze dimmed when he heard Caroline crying.
Elvira witnessed his change of mood.
She thought about it and said, "Mr.
Hendrix, emotions can be addictive.
It's hard to break free once you're hooked." "Elvira, do you think I can't discern the meaning behind your words?" Scott asked.
Elvira hastily lowered her head. "I just want to say, don't let yourself stray
down the wrong path because of a woman." Scott clutched Elvira by her throat just as her voice faded. He tightened his grip constantly, his eyes cold.
He then asked calmly, "Should I thank you for your reminder?" Elvira turned pale in fear. "I won't do it... again, Mr. Hendrix." Scott loosened his grip over Elvira's neck and told the bodyguard behind him, "Amputate her finger!" Elvira's pupils constricted in fear. 'Is Mr. Hendrix really treating me with such cruelty despite my loyalty because of that woman?" Elvira hesitated to voice her dissatisfaction, fully aware that her survival depended on Scott's whims.
She glared at the villa where Caroline was with hostility as the bodyguard approached, thinking, 'It's all her fault! I wouldn't be losing a finger if not for her! She will pay for this eventually! Caroline sensed intense resentment as soon as she returned home from the neighboring villa.
Looking over, she noticed Elvira standing behind Scott, her face ghastly pale and her bloodshot eyes leering at her.
