Chapter 76

Chapter 76 She Doesn’t Look Like Mom.

As they arrived at Redwood Neighborhood, Neil took the opportunity to express his viewpoint to

Caroline before she exited the car. “Caroline, I still stand by what I said.”

Caroline was taken aback for a moment, but then she smiled and replied, “Fine. Just don’t forget

about what you promised me.”

Once she stepped out of the car, Caroline made her way into the neighborhood. As she descended

the stairs near her house, she spotted Evan standing before the building.

Confusion washed over her. “Didn’t Neil’s grandfather ask him to stay back for a chat about the

past? Why is he here?”

Trying to avoid eye contact, Caroline instinctively thought about turning back. However, she

couldn’t escape his cold, deep voice

“Caroline!” Caroline tightly clenched her fists and took a deep breath. Forget it. There’s always a

solution to a problem.”

Summoning her courage, Caroline approached Evan. She looked up and asked with a distant tone, Evan, you’re such a busy guy, yet you’ve come here to wait for me. Is there something urgent you

need?”

“Why do you always speak to me with such sarcasm?” Evan fixed his cold gaze on her.

Caroline grumbled, “What did you expect? Should I go back to being submissive as I was before?

Or should I continue to fawn over you?”

“Caroline!” Evan’s face darkened as he adopted a harsher tone. “Neil isn’t the right guy for you. Master Xander values social status above all else. Do you think being with Neil will bring you any

benefits?”

“What does it have anything to do with you?” Caroline cracked a sneer.

“Are you planning to do ‘those things to me again just to break up my relationship? Do you want everyone to know that I’m still your mistress? Evan, you have a fiancée. Please, don’t come and

hurt me again!”

Caroline’s words successfully provoked his anger. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Caroline, do you have any conscience?” Evan gritted his teeth. “Did I hurt you or save you?”

“Am I supposed to be your mistress for the rest of my life just because you saved me?” Deep anger surged within her, forcing her to shout at Evan.

Evan was taken aback. After a moment, he softened his tone.

“Neil can’t protect you. He won’t get any shares without Master Xander’s approval.”

Caroline scoffed mockingly. “I don’t believe you can protect me either.”

With that, she pushed past him, clearing the way to the elevator, and walked toward it with

determination.

Watching her resolute figure retreating, Evan slowly tightened his fists.

At the Xander Residence, after Neil arrived home, he noticed his grandfather engaged in a lively.

conversation with Daniella.

Daniella was peeling an orange for Grayson. “Master Xander, you must be joking. I don’t resemble

Mr. Xander’s mother, of course.”

Grayson declared, “Even though I’m old, my eyesight is still sharp.”

Daniella responded, “Thank you for the compliment, but I don’t consider myself that fortunate.”

Grayson let out a sigh. If my daughter hadn’t passed away so early, she would have recognized

you instantly.” 1

Standing at the door. Neil’s handsome face darkened slightly. He walked into the room and

approached his grandfather, speaking firmly.

“Grandpa, she doesn’t look like Mom.”

“Don’t tell me that mistress looks like her.” Grayson glared at Neil. “Don’t be fooled by that vixen’s.

face!”

Hearing that, Daniella’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction.

She relished it when people scolded Caroline, and gaining Grayson’s approval only added to her

delight.

If she could secure the support of the Xander family, her position as Mrs. Jordan would become more solidified. After all, she had heard that Evan’s father, Draco Jordan, had a good relationship

with Grayson.

Neil shot Daniella a cold gaze. He couldn’t see any resemblance between Daniella and his mother.

So what if she had a red cinnabar mole on her earlobe? That didn’t mean anything.

However, Neil failed to convince Grayson and could only head upstairs.

“Neil!” Grayson called out, stopping him. “Give Ella a ride home.”

A crease formed between Neil’s brows.

“She’s Mr. Jordan’s fiancee, I should maintain a distance from her.”

Observing this, Daniella quickly chimed in. “Master Xander, I can go home by myself. Let’s not

inconvenience Mr. Xander.” (”

Grayson said, “Dear child, you don’t have to be so considerate.”

With that said, he looked at Neil with displeasure. “Do as I told!”

Neil clenched his fists. After a brief pause, he relented. “Ms. Love, please come with me.”

”

Daniella promptly got up. “Master Xander, I’ll take my leave now. It’s your birthday today. Please don’t be upset.

Grayson smiled with satisfaction. “Go home, child. Come and visit me tomorrow.”

Daniella agreed before she turned and left with Neil.

Neil drove Daniella to a place where it was easier to hail a cab before he stopped the car.

I have some personal matters to attend to. Take a cab and go home.”

Upon hearing this, Daniella’s expression stiffened, but she nodded to maintain her good image.

“Thank you, Mr. Xander.”

After Daniella exited the car, Neil stepped on the gas pedal and drove off.

As Daniella stood there, the car’s exhaust causing her eyes to sting, her gaze turned scarlet.

‘Why does Caroline receive special attention from Neil? Master Xander approves of me, yet Neil dares to kick me out of the car in the middle of the road. And Evan! Does he even care about his

pregnant fiancée?”

Daniella hailed a cab to return to Villa Rosa,

Not spotting Evan’s car, she entered the villa gloomily.
