Caroline ran far away, covering her face with her hand as she went. She could feel her face burning with heat.
Every time Nathan teased her, she would blush, and her heart would race, leaving her feeling weak and out of control. She knew this was not right. Nathan did not belong to her.
After putting a scar on her face and changing into different clothes, she met with Jacob.
Jacob arrived in a flashy Ferrari sports car and presented a large bouquet of red roses to her. Here, take these flowers, ugly
woman."
"Mr. Faraday, I don't want it."
Jacob stuffed the red roses directly into Caroline's arms and wrapped his hand around her shoulder. "Ugly woman, this is our first date. Let's go watch a movie."
Caroline's body stiffened as Jacob's arm wrapped around her. She felt uncomfortable with his touch, and it caused discomfort throughout her entire body.
Yet, when Nathan touched her, her body became as supple as water.
Just as Caroline was considering throwing Jacob over her shoulder, a sharp h onk interrupted them, and a luxurious Bentley pulled up.
The gleaming car window slid down gradually, revealing Nathan's stunning yet icy-cold face.
Caroline's heart skipped a beat. She thought, "It's Nathan! What a coincidence! Will he realize it's me?"
"Hi, Uncle Nathan. What a coincidence!" Jacob greeted him warmly.
Nathan's hand, which was adorned with a luxury watch, rested on the steering wheel as he gazed down from his lofty perch with a commanding presence and dignified aura, exuding the confidence and authority of a respected elder. He questioned Jacob, "Is it the weekend today? As students, are you sneaking out for a date instead of going to school?"
Jacob could not help but fall speechless as he thought, "To think that Uncle Nathan caught my first date red-handed...
At the same time, Caroline noticed Nathan's sullen gaze fall upon her face. It was cold, devoid of any warmth, and laced with a hint of disdain.
He must have thought that she had lured Jacob into going on a date with her.
Caroline's heart, which had been fluttering just moments before now calmed down instead. She was only a replacement for Shirley, and she should not let him sway her heart.
She knew very well that Nathan repulsed her very much.
"Hurry up and go back to school. With that said, the luxurious Bentley zoomed off.
The thought of going against his uncle never crossed Jacob's mind as Jacob feared Nathan too much. Jacob had a mournful look on his face and said, "Our date today is ruined, ugly woman
At least Nathan had saved her from going on a date. Caroline suddenly had a change of heart and realized that meeting Nathan might not be such a bad thing after all.

Chapter 34
Shirley stood in the living room inside the Sullivan residence. Her face was pale as Connor launched into a scathing rant against her. "Shirley, look at what you've done! You couldn't even succeed in seducing Nathan, and now you've gone and broken your nose. Do you know how much I've invested in you?
Shirley trembled with fear and did not dare to say a word.
Given the state of anger Connor was currently in, Liliana did not dare to speak ruthlessly about anything either.
"What's gotten into you. Connor? Throwing such a big temper tantrum at home! Joseph asked. He was accompanied by Nicole and their daughter. Wrenna Sullivan. They had just arrived.
The Sullivan family had three branches, with the eldest branch being led by Joseph and the second branch being led by Connor. They had been engaged in an ongoing power struggle for years. 'Connor, I heard that Cienna Care rejected your tender document the other day, and everyone in the industry knows about it. People are making fun of you, but that doesn't give you the right to take it out on your daughter, does it?" Joseph sneered.
Connor's face turned beet red. It appeared that Joseph knew very well how to strike at Connor's nerve precisely.
Ever since the Cienna Care incident, everyone had been making fun of Connor. Being someone who valued his pride a lot, he could not bear it.
'Connor. Liliana, Shelley is not getting any younger. Has she started dating yet? Wrenna is a hot supermodel now. Both sons from the Lawson family and the Wright family are vying for her affection now," Nicole interjected.
Wrenna's beauty was captivating, and she had a pair of legs known as the most beautiful in Yarwood. She quickly rose to fame after entering the world of supermodels. There was a line of rich heirs vying for her attention.
Connor was even more enraged. He thought, "The Lawson family? The Wright family? They are nothing compared to the top-tier wealthy family, the Faraday family!"
Shirley had married the head of the Faraday family. Still, the Faraday family had never made it public, leaving them no choice but to suffer from the humiliation of these people.
Wrenna felt a slight disdain toward Shirley. While others may not have known about Shirley's plastic surgery, the Sullivan family was well aware of it. "Shirley, how about I set you up with someone? But you should fix your nose first. People from elite families won't accept someone who has had plastic surgery, Wrenna said.
Connor, Liliana, and Shirley were seething with rage, but they could not come up with a rebuttal,
Suddenly, the housekeeper hurried in and said, "Mr. Connor, Mrs. Liliana, someone came and brought a gift for Ms. Shirley Sullivan just now."
"What is it?" Connor asked.
The housekeeper handed over a delicate package to them.
The moment Shirley unwrapped the package, audible gasps filled the living room,
