Chapter 23
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense. Since Jacob and Shirley were angry,
nobody dared say a word.
Caroline came to Nathan and asked, “Mr. Faraday, what can I do for you?”
“Cover the scar on your f
face. Let me see if your face is the same as Shirley’s, replied Nathan.
“Mr. Faraday, I can’t…”
If you don’t do it, then I will!” hissed Nathan.
Nathan then pulled Caroline before him and then stretched out his hand to cover the scar on Caroline’s
face. Her delicate, cold, and beautiful face was exposed.
It looked exactly like Shirley’s face.
When he looked at Caroline’s porcelain-white face and crystal-clear eyes, Nathan thought, ‘Caroline’s
face is not only the same as Shirley’s. This face also looks exactly like the person who snuggled up to
me the night before!!
Nathan’s eyes were like thick ink, and the darkness in them was as dangerous as an abyss. ‘Why is
your face exactly the same as Shirley’s?”
“Honey, Caroline went to get plastic surgery using my face as a reference. However, the plastic surgery
was a failure, which left this scar on her face!” Shirley explained hurriedly
Nathan looked at Caroline and asked, “Really?”
Caroline had to admit it first. “Yes.
“If that’s the case… Have you ever lied to me? Such as covering up this scar and pretending to be
Shirley?” Nathan stared at Caroline calmly and said something that made her shudder.
Caroline’s cold sweat soon made Nathan doubt it.
Caroline tried to calm herself down. Right now, Nathan had no idea that the scar on her face was fake.
Jacob was the only person who knew the truth.
“How could that be possible, Mr. Faraday? Even if I cover this scar with a thick layer of foundation, you
will definitely see it if you were lying next to me. I can’t cover this up at all,” replied Caroline.
Nathan pursed his lips. Indeed, the girl who had slept in his arms these past two nights had no makeup
at all. Her face was clean, tender, and flawless.
On top of that, he could definitely see such a long scar on her face even if it were covered with
foundation.
“Was I just suspicious over nothing, then? wondered Nathan.
“You’d better not lie to me, or you’ll regret it, said Nathan with a hint of warning in his voice. He then
turned around to leave.
Having said that, Nathan then left. As soon as the strong, oppressive aura dispersed, everyone
breathed a collective sigh of relief. It was so risky, considering how Nathan nearly discovered the truth.
Jacob stepped forward and said, “You ugly woman, why
how much does Uncle Nathan pay you? I’ll double you working as a housekeeper in Uncle Nathan’s
house? Well,
your salary. You can come to me and be my exclusive little housekeeper!”
Jacob chose to be deliberately suggestive when he referred to Caroline as “my exclusive little
housekeeper.” This made everyone’s imaginations run wild.
“Mr. Faraday, how could you fall in love with Caroline? She’s had too much plastic surgery done!”
Shirley said.
“Hey, Shirley, aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself? Is it because I addressed you as Aunt Shirley”
once? I don’t know why Uncle Nathan married you. I think you’re the one who had too much work done
on your face, retorted Jacob.
Shirley gritted her teeth jealously. She didn’t know when Caroline ensnared the little overlord of the
Faraday family. Nathan liked Caroline, but now Jacob was also interested in Caroline. Shirley couldn’t
accept that both of these men were obsessed with Caroline!
“You should stick around with me, ugly woman. I’ll support you in the future. I’ll have a lot of money,”
said Jacob.
“Jacob! Just then, Nathan’s low voice could be heard. He sounded displeased. For some reason, Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Nathan had come back.
“Uncle Nathan, why are you back?
“I want you to follow me to the office today,” replied Nathan. T’m going to observe your finance and
management skills.”
Jacob immediately howled. “Uncle Nathan! I don’t want to!”
“Then I’ll tell your father to cancel all your credit cards. Nathan remained impassive.
“What? He’s going to cancel my credit cards?” thought Jacob.
Jacob, who had been flaunting his wealth earlier, was suddenly given a slap to the face by his Uncle
Nathan.
“Okay, Uncle Nathan, I’ll go to the office with you!” Jacob waved his hand at Caroline reluctantly and
added, “I’ll hang out with you another time, ugly woman.”
Nathan and his nephew had finally left. Caroline lowered her gaze. Just then, a chime was heard as
she received a text on her phone.
The text was from an unknown number: [Break up with Jacob right away!]
