“Emerald?” Caroline thought.
Caroline recalled that she did not carry the emerald with her. It was left at the Sullivan residence.
“Grandma, the emerald is at the Sullivan residence. I’ll go and get it right away. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Nora closed her eyes and said weakly, “Okay, Carol, remember to get it. You cannot lose the emerald.
I’ll sleep for a while.”
Nora fell asleep again.
Caroline put a quilt over Nora and went straight to the Sullivan residence to get her emerald.
At the Sullivan residence, Shirley, who had escaped home, saw Caroline and asked in surprise,
“Caroline, why are you back?”
Caroline looked at her coldly and replied. “I’m here to take my emerald.”
“Emerald Shirley thought. Her expression changed drastically after hearing that.
Caroline went upstairs and returned to her room to get the emerald, but the emerald had disappeared.
She could not find the emerald where she had kept it and realized it must have been stolen.
‘Shirley, where is my emerald? Did you take it away? Give me back my emerald
Shirley did not expect Caroline to think of the emerald at this time. The emerald had been handed to
the Faraday family in exchange for the marriage between Shirley and Nathan,
No one understood why the emerald was so powerful that it could help the Sullivan family get close to
the Faraday family.
In fact, Caroline was the one that Nathan was supposed to marry. She was supposed to be Nathan’s
wife.
“Caroline, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. What emerald? Do you have any evidence that
we took emerald? If not, we can sue you for slander,” Shirley said confidently.
“Then I’ll go and search your room.”
“Caroline, you have no permission to enter my room!” Shirley went to stop Caroline.
“Get out of my way!” Caroline pushed Shirley hard.
Shirley directly hit her nose on the wall.
“Ah!”
Shirley screamed in pain as she covered her nose and ran to the mirror. Her nose was crooked.

Back then, the Sullivan family had spent a lot of money on Shirley’s plastic surgery to make her look
like this. The maintenance cost of her face would be millions of dollars every year. But now her nose
had become crooked from Caroline’s push.
“Someone please call the doctor!”
The scene was in chaos. At that time, Shirley, who was covering her nose, received a call from Nathan.
Shirley quickly answered, “Hello, Honey

“Where are you now? I’ll ask the driver to pick you up. Let’s go back to the Faraday manor. My mother
wants to see yo Nathan said in a low voice.
Shirley was stunned to hear that her mother-in-law wanted to see her.
There was no way she could meet anyone now because of her crooked nose.
She could not let others know that she had undergone plastic surgery.
Shirley wanted to decline, but Nathan had already hung up the phone.
She did not know what to do.
Shirley immediately looked at Caroline and said, “Caroline, you go to see my mother-in-law with my
husband.”
Shirley wanted Caroline to be her replacement for meeting Nathan’s mother.
“I refuse to go.”
“Caroline, if you don’t go, then I’ll drag you down with me if I can’t maintain my status as Mrs. Faraday
I’ll tell Nathan that it was you who slept with him that night. I’ll also tell him you were my replacement to
sleep with him for two other nights. Do you think he will not strangle you to death if he knows the truth?”
Caroline paused and thought Nathan would definitely strangle her to death if he knew the truth.
In fact, Nathan had already strangled her before, and she could still remember the terrible feeling of
suffocation.
Caroline closed her eyes and replied. “All right, I’ll go.”
When Caroline arrived at the Faraday manor, Nathan had already been waiting for her. There was a
trace of cold impatience in his eyes. “Why are you so slow?”
“I… This is my first time meeting my mother-in-law. I was a little nervous, so I was slow.”
Nathan did not like Shirley during the day because of her heavy makeup. However, today, he realized
that she had removed the makeup on her face, revealing a clean, snow-white face.
Her long black hair was tucked behind her snow-wh ite e ars. Her watery eyes, beautiful nose, and red
lips were all mesmerizing.
Nathan glanced at her and suddenly felt that she seemed to have changed into a different person.
“No makeup today?” His voice softened a little.
“Yes, but if you like me with makeup, I’ll put it on now.”
“No need. My mom has been waiting in there for a long time. Let’s go in.”
“Okay”
Nathan extended his hand to Caroline. Caroline’s long eyelashes quivered slightly.
“My mom has been urging me to get married and have children. We have to pretend we are a couple in
love in front of her. Do you understand?
“Understood.”
Caroline obediently extended her hand to Nathan.
