Antonio!
Caroline finally knew what the scheme was for today.
Natalia said she was entrusted by someone to do something.
It didn't matter who this "someone" was.
But was it a coincidence that Antonio was here?
What Caroline lost was her kidney, not her brain.
Caroline knew the whole thing in her heart. Instead of looking at Antonio, Caroline looked aside at Natalia. Natalia naturally noticed Caroline's gaze. Natalia turned around and didn't see the defeated and embarrassed expression she wanted to see on Caroline's face, but saw the clarity of Caroline's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything.
For a moment, Natalia felt flustered. Under Caroline's insightful gaze, Natalia went back to the way she had felt when facing Caroline three years ago. At that time, Natalia had confronted Caroline head-on, and she had secretly harmed Caroline. No matter what Natalia did, Caroline's eyes were always clear with insight.
It was as if Natalia's little tricks had never been noticed by Caroline at all. But that was three years ago.
Three years ago, there was a halo on Caroline's head.
What about now?
Caroline, who had lost her halo on her head, still had an insight into everything?
How unfair God was!
Why could a whore keep such eyes?
Antonio clenched his fist. "I don't believe it! Ms. Jameson? She paid off a bunch of gangsters? She's just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family! Where did she get the money to do these things?"
Natalia was angry with Caroline. Now watching Antonio defend Caroline, Natalia's jealousy almost swallowed her up. "Mr. Tucker, you're funny. Isn't that Caroline's brother Mr. Jameson standing next to you? But I don't blame you, Mr. Tucker. You moved to Clodon before. So it's not surprising that you don't know about these things back home."
Natalia put her cards on the table and gave a sneer.
"The ordinary girl you said is Caroline. Three years ago, she was a noble lady of the Jamesons. At that time, no one in Lehcaster did not know her elegant demeanor.
However, she framed her friend because of Bentley and let her friend be gang-raped by a group of gangsters, which made her friend unacceptable and caused her friend to commit suicide. This event made a sensation in Lehcaster at that time, and it was also known to everyone.
The funny thing was that the man Caroline was obsessed with put her in prison."
Antonio looked at Nathan with an inquiring eye. "Is it true?"
Nathan didn't say anything, but that meant he acquiesced.
Antonio was shocked, as if he had been hit by something.
Antonio looked at Caroline. "Is it true?"
Caroline looked at Antonio through the crowd. She could see clearly the confusion in the eyes of the big boy.
Natalia added fuel to the flames. "Who is Bentley? You are not insular, are you? He personally sent Caroline to prison at that time.
If there is no such thing, ask Mr. Jameson next to you. Ask him if their family accept Caroline!
I remember that the Jamesons denied Caroline was their family in the newspaper." As Natalia spoke, her eyes fell on Nathan's face. "It's reasonable that we outsiders don't believe Caroline. If her own family doesn't believe her, then Mr. Tucker, tell me, is she guilty?"
If her own family doesn't believe her, then Mr. Tucker, tell me, is she guilty?
Antonio was shocked by this sentence and his mind was totally a mess.
Antonio looked at Nathan, but Nathan looked away. The meaning was so clear. What Natalia and those women said was true!
Antonio was still in a trance. He always thought Caroline had no choice but to be a fallen woman.
He did not know that Caroline was the noble lady of the Jamesons, and that she had done such despicable things.
Set up, paid off, gang raped...Any one of these crimes was downright ugly!
Antonio had butterflies in his stomach. Suddenly, he looked at the box of red notes and remembered what Natalia and those people had said. They said, "Caroline, you can do anything for money!"
He also remembered Cayne's sarcastic words when they were in the box yesterday. So everyone knew it, and Antonio was the only one who was kept in the dark?
Antonio could accept everything about Caroline, but...
A wave of unwillingness hit him like the tide.
Antonio could not accept that the woman he treated sincerely for the first time was like this! He was so proud. How could he fall in love with such a selfish and ugly murderer?
She didn't have to be pretty. She didn't have to be cute. She could have physical defects.
But she couldn't have personality defects! She couldn't have an awful heart!
Antonio couldn't take it.
No, no, no. He was just infatuated with Caroline's body and her lips. He just got rocks in his head and thought it was love. He, Antonio, was the heir to the the Tuckers. How could he fall in love with a shameless, despicable, ugly and disgusting murderer?
No!
He firmly denied all this in the bottom of his heart.
Antonio finally fixed his eyes on the woman. She was in the crowd, down on one knee, crawling on her belly to massage the feet of the middle-aged man. "I'll give you a chance. Was there a single thing they said that wasn't true?"
Antonio was no longer the big boy who had a sunny personality in Caroline's eyes. He had become quite a different person. Not far away, Caroline, the most humble woman in people's eyes, looked
across the crowd at the man who had accompanied her for many days. In the end, he saw the most despicable side of her. He knew what kind of person she was. He saw her terrible past.
Ignoring the pain in her heart, Caroline looked at Antonio through the crowd. She just hadn't expected to open Pandora's box in this way. She had not expected him to see her despicability and her past in this way.
"Antonio," Caroline said slowly. She called the man who was like a big boy like this for the first time since they met. "Do you believe me if I say I didn't frame Winnie for being gang-raped?"
Natalia laughed. "Caroline, you don't have the guts to stand by what you did. Shame on you! If it was something that didn't happen, would we have wronged you? Even if we wronged you, would Bentley wronged you?
If you didn't do it, explain why your birth parents disowned you. Your brother Nathan is standing right over there. Why didn't he stand up for you when you were being bullied? Why did he let us pick on you?"
Every word struck into Caroline's heart!
If you didn't do it, would Bentley wrong you?
If you didn't do it, why did your parents disown you?
If you didn't do it, why did your brother stand right in front of you and let you be trampled on and not stand up for you?
Every word kicked Caroline in the gut.
Caroline breathed deeply. The pain in her chest was choking her. She wanted to shout back.
Was it my fault that Bentley wronged me?
Was it my fault my parents disowned me?
Was it my fault that my brother stood in front of me and watched me being bullied and did nothing?
Because of Bentley, my parents, and my brother's choices, I am a guilty person even if I am not guilty!
Who really cared about the so-called truth?
Since Bentley put her in jail, she must have done it!
Anyway, her parents disowned her, so it looked like she did it!
Anyway, since we bullied her and her brother stood around and refused to say a word for her, she must have done it!
She looked around the crowd. They all took it for granted. In any case, they just sat it out. Anyway, in this circle, two people were friends at first. If one of these two's family was down and out, it was likely that the first person to attack him was his closest "good friend".
Caroline closed her eyes abruptly to hide the waves of emotion beneath her eyes.
She thought the expression in her eyes could not be seen. She didn't want it to be seen. They didn't deserve to see it.
