Chapter 22

Left with no choice, Melissa could only try her best to explain, “Five years ago, we thought she got burnt to death. Unexpectedly, she’s really fortunate and managed to escape. It’s only recently that she came back.”

“Oh. So that’s how it is!”

“Caroline has become so beautiful over the past five years! I wonder if she has talked about her husband’s family before.”

Melissa was frustrated upon seeing how everyone shifted their attention to Caroline. Still, she did not reveal her displeasure on her face. Instead, she put on a smile as she walked forward and greeted, “Ah, Caroline, you’re back!”

Yvonne, too, noticed Caroline. However, she did not understand why the latter would show up uninvited today. “What is she trying to do?” she wondered.

Meanwhile, Seth noticed the woman who had just walked into the hall. He was shocked to the core when he heard Melissa addressing her as Caroline.

Words could not describe how astounded he was. It was as if a huge boulder had just crushed his heart.

He honestly had no idea that Caroline was still alive. Besides, the Lewis residence had never told him that she had come back alive.

Therefore, one could imagine how shocked the man was. In fact, apart from feeling astonished, he was even more guilty and

terrified.

Initially, he thought he had seen a ghost! After all, he was the one who tried to eliminate Caroline by burning her and the baby in her belly to death five years ago. Yet, she was unexpectedly resurrected right now.

“I can’t believe that she has come back alive!” Seth exclaimed under his breath.

He could not imagine that she had changed so tremendously. She looked so different now that he did not even dare to acknowledge her.

Five years ago, Caroline was not only plain with an average look, but she was also innocent and weak. As long as anyone tried to fool her, she would fall into the trap fast.

However, she was gorgeous and charming now. In addition, there was a hint of wiseness and calmness in her eyes, which made her look so different than in the past.

Seth could not believe his eyes. Secretly, he asked Yvonne, “Yvonne, is she really Caroline? Is she a human or a ghost?”

“She’s Caroline! She’s still alive!” Yvonne lowered her voice to answer him. Displaying a smile, she walked over to greet Caroline, “Caroline, why would you have the time to attend my mother’s birthday party?”

In other words, she was hinting at Caroline to stay at the Ziegler residence to take care of Quintin, who was still unable to move freely.

“Why would the Zieglers let her leave the house as she wished?” she mused.

“Two days ago, I just came back from abroad, but I was arranged to marry into the Ziegler family on your behalf. Today is the day for me to come back and visit my family. Coincidentally, it’s also Aunt Melissa’s birthday. So, naturally, I have to come!” Caroline stated.

There was a lot of information in her statement.

Everyone from the upper–class society in Jipsdale knew that the number one tycoon, the Ziegler family, was looking for a woman who could turn their family’s fortune around by marrying Quintin. Only now did the public know that they had initially chosen Yvonne from the Lewis residence. Yet, the ruthless Harry asked his biological daughter, who had just returned from abroad, Caroline, to marry into the Ziegler family on Yvonne’s behalf instead.

Those unaware of the situation would have assumed that Caroline was not his biological daughter.

Additionally, Caroline had addressed Melissa as her aunt on purpose. Otherwise, everyone would forget about what had happened in the Lewis residence if she did not talk about it.

After Harry’s ex–wife passed away, Melissa immediately took over the woman’s place. Everything happened so fast that no one could comprehend it. Not long after Harry and Melissa’s marriage, Harry announced that Yvonne was his biological daughter. Clearly, he was a scumbag

The crowd started chattering among themselves upon seeing Caroline standing beside Yvonne. They could not help but compare their appearances.

“Everyone says that Ms. Yvonne is one of the Three Beauties in Jipsdale. But, look at her sister, Caroline. She’s not bad at all!”

me, Caroline is more pleasant to the eyes!”

As one might expect, comparisons were odious. It was true that one shouldn’t compare with others, for it wouldn’t do good.

Chapter 22

Although Yvonne was one of the most famous women in Jipsdale, she immediately lost her charm when Caroline stood

beside her.

Caroline was like a shining star, so dazzling that she could make the entire galaxy lose its color.

She stood there motionlessly without saying a word. Nevertheless, her cold, elegant aura was charming enough to make anyone fixate their eyes on her instantly.

Melissa had always thought that her daughter was the most beautiful woman in Jipsdale. Unfortunately, Caroline had proved that Yvonne was clearly not a match for her.

Melissa did not want Caroline to outshine Yvonne. Hence, pretending to be friendly, she held Caroline’s hand and brought her into the hall. “All right. All right. Stop standing in the doorway. Let’s come in and have a chat!”

Seth followed Yvonne into the place. However, he could not shift his eyes away from Caroline. He still felt that everything was too surreal. “Is she really Caroline? She has changed so much!”

Yvonne shot him a glance, noticing that he was staring intently at Caroline. In fact, every man in the room, including her biological brother, was looking at Caroline too.

In an instant, a wave of jealousy surged within her heart. “That shameless bitch! She’s trying to seduce all the men the moment she’s back. Fucking annoying!” she screamed internally, on the verge of losing her mind.

Seth’s younger sister, Janine Gomez, walked over to Yvonne, asking. “Yvonne, is that woman really Caroline? She didn’t die?”

“Yes. It’s her.” Yvonne glared at Caroline gloomily.

“What? How can that be? I can’t believe it!”

Even Janine was amazed by Caroline’s beauty. After all, Caroline was not that elegant back then, and she looked just like at commoner on the streets. It had only been five years, yet she had changed so tremendously.

“Why did she come here? Don’t tell me that she’s here to take away your place as the most favorable daughter in the Lewis residence?” Janine asked again.

Yvonne’s face darkened. “I won’t let her have it her way!” she thought, snorting inwardly.

A moment later, Janine’s gaze fell upon Caroline’s outfit. Elbowing Yvonne lightly, she said, “Yvonne, look. Is she wearing the same brand of clothes as you? Her dress looks like the Vera Haute Couture you took a look at last time. Could it be that she has bought that dress away?”

Yvonne’s eyes were blazing in fuming anger. Trying to suppress her anger, she responded, “How’s that possible? There’s no way that she can afford that. From what I heard, a rich businessman from Horbah bought that dress from Vera Haute. Couture. I’m sure the one she’s wearing is fake! Just you wait. I’ll show you how I’m going to expose her!”

Having said that, Yvonne walked over to Caroline. She then stopped in front of the latter and praised with a smile, “Caroline, you’ve gotten so much prettier than in the past! Your dress is so stunning too! It’s the latest release of Vera Haute Couture. right?”

Caroline despised Yvonne’s pretentious compliments. Snickering, she glanced at the latter’s gown. “You’re right! You look gorgeous today too, Yvonne! The Vera counterfeit looks really good on you.”

Upon hearing what she said, everyone shifted their attention to Yvonne’s gown.

Vera was a luxury women’s fashion brand that had become popular in recent years. They had a phenomenal amount of sales in the country. Moreover, many socialites and celebrities were huge fans of it.

Hence, everyone would definitely feel envious and compliment Yvonne if she wore an authentic dress from Vera. Sadly, the one she was wearing at the moment was a counterfeit.

Someone even said that her dress was classy just now. However, now that they looked closer at it, they noticed that something was off.

Someone began comparing Yvonne’s and Caroline’s outfits. “We didn’t even notice that. Now that Caroline mentioned it, Yvonne’s blue gown really looks like a dress from Vera. But if you look closer, you’ll see the difference.”

“That’s right! Not only do the patterns look different, but the stitches are rough.”

“Eh? The one Ms. Caroline is wearing is an authentic piece from Vera. I saw it the last time I visited the boutique. I’m positive!”

With that, everyone naturally shifted their eyes to Yvonne again. “Then, the dress Ms. Yvonne is wearing…”

As long as those noble ladies knew a little about Vera, they could easily tell the differences between the gowns Yvonne and Caroline were wearing.

Therefore, there was no need for them to debate about it anymore. Soon, the crowd concluded that Yvonne was indeed wearing a counterfeit.

In fact, wearing an outfit from the same brand as the others was never a problem. That would only become an issue when one was counterfeit, and the other was authentic.

Chapter 22

Immediately, everyone started mocking and humiliating Yvonne. She was utterly embarrassed, but she did not run away. Instead, she revealed publicly. “Caroline, is your dress really from Vera Haute Couture? I’ve seen it before too! I even asked the salesperson about it. But, she told me a married businessman from Horbah had bought it. Could it be that he gave this dress to you?”

Yvonne’s words successfully turned the tables. Instantly, everyone began gossiping about Caroline, as they could understand the meaning behind Yvonne’s words.

“A married businessman? Is she trying to say that Caroline is that businessman’s secret lover? Don’t tell me that she’s a mistress!” were their thoughts.
