Chapter 545: Confrontation

Caroline’s POV

Icey stayed at home for only one night and came back with Spencer and Vivian the next day. We
gathered around, playing bridge while talking and laughing. For everyone to have a good time, Icey bet
quite a sum of money again.

Spencer clasped his hands excitedly and took out the money, “No one leaves tonight!”

Our laughter boomed across the room.

I had been sitting for quite a while and was starting to feel tired. But since everyone was in high spirits,
I tried my best to cheer myself up and join in the fun Impressively, I won in most of the rounds, Icey
propped her chin in one hand and sighed.

“Caroline, I never expected that you were so good at playing cards.”

“I’m just lucky today,” I humbly replied.

I used to lose consecutively in this game. But today seemed to be my lucky day. The next morning, I
woke up to my phone ringing. I picked it up and saw that it was Christine who was calling. I answered
the call at once

“Hello”

“Caroline, when will you come back?”

I felt a lump in my throat when I heard Christine’s concerned voice from the other end of the line

“Grandma, I'll be back in a few days.”



“But I miss you so much. How about I take the kids to the island so we can see you? They miss you
very much too”

“Sure When will you come here?”

I was curious as to why Christine wanted to come to the island so suddenly

The call ended not long after. To my surprise, my phone rang again. But this time, it was Nina.

“Caroline, where are you now?” she asked in an agitated tone

“I’m on the island what’s wrong?” I asked with a frown

Nina hesitated for a moment before telling me the reason she called

“Uhm, I met Charles this morning I was having breakfast with a client when I saw him with Amielia, a
female star of Esastin Entertainment” , I felt a pang in my heart I unconsciously tightened the grip on
my phone that my knuckles turned white.

“Really” I asked while trying my best to stay calm

“Wait a minute I’ll send you a photo. That woman must have a thing for Charles. I mean just look at her.
She looks like she’s going to throw herself at him at any moment.” I immediately clicked on the photo
Nina had sent. In the photo, a beautiful woman was sitting very close to Charles

In fact, they looked intimateI forced a smile and comforted myself, “Maybe they were talking about
work.”

“Talking about work?” Nina exclaimed incredulously.

“Do they need to be that close to talk about work? Why don’t you feel threatened at all? Caroline, leave
the island and come home now.”



When the call ended, I sat on the sofa and stared at the photo in a daze. I had seen a similar photo on
the entertainment news before coming to the island. This was not new to me Charles was famous and
attractive. And because of this, many women tried their best to get close to him

Nina’s POV

My blood boiled as I looked at the sly smile on Amielia’s face when she was looking at CharlesI could
not stand it anymore. Without thinking. I picked up the cup of my soy milk, walked over to their table,
and splashed it onto the woman’s face.

“Ah! It’s so hot!” Amielia sprang up from her seat and clutched her face in pain.

“It’s a pity that you didn’t get burned to death. The nerve of you to seduce Charles! Aren’t you aware
that he’s married?” I asked while fuming with anger.

“Who the hell are you?” Amielia asked back while wiping the soy milk off her face and body with a
tissue.

“Who am I? Ha! I’m the best friend of this man’s wife. How about you? Who are you? He’s married.
Why are you still seducing him? Don’t tell me you’re not. Your clothes are short and indecent. I’ll tell
you what. If you really wanted to show off your figure, you should’ve just come here naked!” I stared at
her fiercely with my arms crossed over my chest.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about. Mr. Moore and I am just talking about work. How dare you
splash me with milk without knowing anything?” Amielia glanced at Charles, her eyes brimming with
tears. From the looks of her, she was trying to make him pity her.

Charles, however, was unmoved. He stood up and walked out without even taking another look at
Amielia.



But after taking two steps, he turned around and asked me, “Did you call Caroline?” •

With a sneer tugging at the corners of my mouth, I pointed at the Amielia and answered, “Caroline is
pregnant and alone on the island, and yet you’re having breakfast with this ‘beautiful’ woman How
could I not tell her? Charles, I swear to God, if you betray Caroline, I won’t stop until your reputation
crumbles to dust!”

Charles’s eyes narrowed, and anger flashed on his face. I thought he would lose his temper, but he did
not He left just like that.

“Mr. Moore, please don’t leave…” Amielia stepped forward to follow Charles. Unfortunately for her, I
immediately blocked her way. “Stop. He can go, but you can’t.” Amielia stared daggers at me.

“I don’t know you. Why do you keep bothering me?”

“You don’t know me, but I know you.” I took out my phone and opened the Google search page.

“Amielia, a famous star of Esastin Entertainment. You’d better tell me everything that happened
between you and Charles. Otherwise, I will destroy your future and career in the blink of an eye.” #
Amielia stared at me, unable to speak.

While I was waiting for her to confess, Amielia suddenly smiled cunningly.

“Mr. Moore promised to make me famous and give me everything I want. If you lay a finger on me, let’s
see who’ll suffer in the end.”

“Did Charles really tell you that?” I asked doubtfully,

Of course, I did not completely believe what Amielia had said.



If Charles said something like that, it meant his relationship with Caroline was over. Amielia chuckled
and said in a serious tone, “of course. Actually, we were together last night. Mr. Moore said that he was
very satisfied with me and that I could go to him anytime to ask for help.”

I was dumbfounded How could she be so shameless? She said those things without missing a beat as
if she was telling the truth

If I did not know how much Charles loved Caroline, I would have believed her. However, I could not let
these rumors continue to spread. When Caroline finally returned and heard these things, she would be
upset

“Just wait and see.” If I couldn’t even dig up some dirt on someone like her, I did not deserve to be
called one of the best lawyers in town

I called Caroline as soon as I got home.

“Caroline, are you really not coming back?” If you and Charles just go on like this, things will only get
worse!”

“I don’t want to go back yet,” Caroline replied dejectedly. She was always like this. She would keep
everything in her heart and endure the pain in silence.

I cursed Charles inwardly and tried to talk some sense into Caroline “You do know that regardless of
what Amielia is saying, she’s humiliating you?”

Caroline smiled bitterly. “If what she said is really the truth, it’s not her who’s humiliating me.”

I was at a loss for words.

Well, it was true, though. It was not that bitch who was humiliating Caroline. It was Charles.
Nevertheless, I was flabbergasted by Caroline’s attitude. It seemed that she had no intention of



confronting Charles and solving the problem.

“Nina, I have to hang up now. Grandpa and Grandma are on a vacation here. I have to go and
accompany them.”

“Think about it. Are they really on vacation, or are they afraid that you would go to extreme if you found
out what Charles has been doing?”

In a fit of anger, I hung up the call without waiting for Caroline’s response.
