Chapter 157
Renee could tell immediately whether a man liked or disliked her.
In fact, Eliott was an eligible bachelor, but she already had Nathan, who possessed even better
qualities.
Renee’s red lips curled. She could finally get her revenge for the humiliation she suffered at the hands
of Janelle.
At the same time, Eliott saw her and began walking toward her immediately.
Looking at a deflated Renee, Caroline reached out to hold Janelle’s arm, “Janelle, I know you were
settling the score for me. Thank you.”
Janelle poked at her friend’s forehead and said, “It’s your treat tonight. Use the card given to you by Mr.
Faraday, the escort. Has he given it to you?”
“Yes, but I didn’t want it,” Caroline replied.
She had refused his gold-gilded black card, and she had no idea where the card went after going to
bed with Nathan that night.
Janelle exclaimed, “What? Carol, what are you doing? Why didn’t you want it? When Mr. Faraday, the
escort discusses money matters with you, don’t talk about feelings and relationships with him.
Otherwise, you’ll devalue yourself. Got it?”
Caroline nodded obediently. “Got it.”
“Go back tonight and get the card back!”
“Okay.”
The two women finished drinking their coc ktails and were ready to go home. Suddenly, a commotion
occurred. “Oh no, something horrible happened! Mr. Leighton tried to force himself on Renee!”
Janelle froze and thought, “What’s my brother doing?”
“Carol, something’s happened to my brother. I’ll check it out.” Janelle ran inside quickly.
Janelle, I’ll come with you.” Caroline followed along.
Many people had already gathered at the entrance to the luxurious private room. When Caroline and
Janelle managed to squeeze through the crowd, they saw Eliott pinning Renee down forcefully.
“Renee, I like you. Be my girlfriend.”
Janelle was appalled. She had a strong urge to slap her brother. “Eliott, what are you
doing? Are you crazy? Let go of her!”
Renee seized the opportunity to push Eliott away and ran outside. She screamed, “Help! Help!”
Eliott went after Renee.
Caroline grabbed Eliott’s wrist, but he shook her off violently as if he had
gone mad.
Caroline bumped into the wall. A loud bang ensued, and a huge lump formed on her forehead.
“Carol!” Janelle quickly held Caroline in her arms. “Carol, are you okay?”
Caroline looked at Eliott and slowly frowned. “I’m fine, Janelle.”
The bar had descended into chaos. All of a sudden, several people entered Heaven Bar. Nathan,
Samuel, and a few other rich young men had dropped by to have fun.
Samuel asked, “Nathan, how are things between you and Caroline?”
Nathan was holding a cigarette between his fingers. “She’s living in Penningcoll Residence.”
“So, both of you are living together.”
“Yeah.”
“Then, why are you out tonight? Did you two have a fight?”
Nathan took a drag on his cigarette, and a frown appeared on his handsome face. “She doesn’t know
her place. She asked me about my relationship with Renee, and she even threw a bit of a tantrum,
perhaps due to jealousy.”
As he spoke, he flicked the cigarette ash into an ashtray. Then, he continued, “I don’t like it when she
develops feelings for me, so I didn’t placate her.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Samuel smiled and said, “Why are you so afraid of her developing feelings for you?”
Nathan asked, “Do you think I can marry her?”
Samuel showed that he understood Nathan’s situation. After all, the relationship was akin to a business
transaction. Nathan had already told Caroline that he could neither make their relationship official nor
let her bear his children. Thus, he did not want to lead her on.
Nathan was a mature and refined man. He had slept with Caroline, so he could not hurt. her
emotionally anymore. This was also his way of protecting Caroline, albeit a little
mean.
Samuel took a sip of his wine and said, “Who do you want to marry, then? The one arranged by your
grandmother for you or the one you have feelings for?”
Nathan glanced at Samuel, and the latter stopped talking.
At the same time, Mabel hurried over and cried, “Help, Mr. Faraday! Renee is in danger. Mr. Leighton
tried to force himself on Renee!”
