"Very well!" Connor left happily.

"Mom! Caroline is really trying to seduce Nathan. She must have used some means to sleep with him last night and even convinced Nathan to give me an Imperial Star! Shirley sat down on the couch, gritting her teeth in jealousy.

"Shelley, how can your vision be so narrow? Those with great ambition don't bother about trifles. Caroline slept with him, but you are the one who reaped the benefits, so it's all good. Do you think Nathan would be attracted to Caroline even if she showed him her ugly face?" Liliana reprimanded.

Shirley's eyes lit up, and she was enlightened. She thought to herself, "That's right. Caroline slept with him, but I'm the one who benefited. In essence, Caroline is just a contemptible replacement for sleeping with someone. Moreover, Caroline's face is so ugly that she has to use makeup to resemble me. Nathan can't possibly be interested in an ugly woman like her."

"Mom, I know what to do now. I'll make sure Nathan attends Dad's birthday party. This is the perfect opportunity to make our marriage public. We should thank Caroline for this instead. Shirley replied. Liliana nodded approvingly. That's right. You are the legitimate Mrs. Faraday. You shouldn't be worrying whether or not you will bond with Nathan and conceive his heir!"

"Mom, stop teasing me!" Shirley pouted and then ran upstairs.

Shirley went back to her room and took out her phone to send a message to Nathan. [Honey, I received the Imperial Star necklace. I love it so much!]

After school, Caroline got rid of Jacob and returned to Penningcoll Residence. She plunged into the greenhouse and started to mix the perfume.

Yuliana felt lonely and bored, but unfortunately, Caroline was still angry with her. It appeared that only a picture of Nathan's ripped abs could fix their fractured friendship at that point. Suddenly, the sound of steady footsteps was heard outside the door. Yuliana exclaimed quietly, "Great, Uncle Nathan is

back!

After a while, Yuliana tiptoed to Nathan's room and gently opened the door.

As she entered the room, Yuliana saw Nathan standing by the window, having taken off his white shirt and preparing to take a shower. Upon hearing the noise, his sharp, hawk-like eyes, hidden in the darkness, instantly turned toward her. "Yuliana, what are you doing?" he asked.

"Uncle Nathan, it's nothing. I just... missed you," Yuliana murmured.

"Go back to study!" Nathan reprimanded.

"All right, all right. Yuliana immediately backed out, her hand on her wildly beating heart, and tremblingly took out her phone. She successfully took a photo of Nathan.

She took this photo while facing the risk of being silenced. It was definitely not easy for her.

Yuliana sent the photo and a message to Caroline's WhatsApp without delay. [Here, check out my uncle's abs. What do you think, Carol? Can we make up now? I sneaked a photo of my uncle's abs just for you. Don't you like him? Why don't you become my aunt?]

After sending the message, Yuliana took a screenshot and saved it as evidence, just in case Caroline ignored her.

However, her finger slipped, and she accidentally forwarded the screenshot to someone else.

Chapter 36

Yuliana wondered to who she had forwarded the photo, so she opened her chat list on WhatsApp. As she scanned through the list, she jumped up in shock as she realized she had accidentally sent the photo to Nathan.

"Cra p!" Yuliana quickly ran into her room and locked the door.

Nathan took a shower and came out. At the same time, his phone rang, indicating he had a message on WhatsApp.

He opened WhatsApp with his slender fingers, and his eyes suddenly narrowed. "Yuliana and Caroline! How dare them!" Nathan's mind filled with curses,

He stretched his long legs and immediately went out.

At that moment, Caroline had just come out of the greenhouse and stood in the dining room. She took a sip of hot water before picking up her phone and seeing the WhatsApp message from Yuliana, which included a picture.

Caroline tapped on the photo and saw a dimly lit room with Nathan standing tall and imposing in black-and-white lighting. He had taken off his shirt, revealing a figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist that could rival the physique of an international male model.

"Pffi" Caroline spat out a mouthful of water.

His chest was strong and muscular, with well-defined muscles and six-pack abs below. They were not the exaggerated eight-pack abs seen in the gym but were as refined as Nathan himself.

The perfect Apollo's belt vanished into his black trousers, and the lethal part was that his narrow and trim waist was secured by a pricey leather belt, emanating a chilly and reserved vibe. Caroline muttered to herself, "Did Yuliana really send me a shirtless picture of Nathan? Is she out of her mind?"

Caroline knew she needed to turn off her phone immediately, but her eyes were almost glued to the screen. She was well aware of how attractive Nathan's physique was, but the visual impact was too intense at the moment.

A dark and menacing voice spoke up just then. "How much longer do you plan on staring? Haven't you seen enough?"
