Chapter 372 Nothing More Than a Pawn
Draco laughed loudly. “Alright then. This woman means nothing to you.”
He fixed his gaze on Caroline and spoke slowly. “Did you catch that, Caroline? You’re nothing more
than his pawn, someone he’ll discard once he’s done using you! Your love doesn’t matter to him.
“Why did you try to gain his favor by revealing his mother’s situation? If you were to disappear
now, he’d barely spare you a second thought!”
Caroline looked back at Draco, her voice hoarse. “Aren’t you the one who should feel sad? Evan’s
mother grew tired of explaining herself because your family never believed in others. What else
was left for her to clarify?”
Draco frowned. “What’s so sad about me?”
Caroline sneered. “Isn’t it sad that you forgave your own son when he slept with your wife?”
Draco slapped Caroline as her voice trailed off. “Your wish will be granted today since you seem so
eager to die!”
He seized a bodyguard’s gun and aimed it at Caroline’s head.
Evan’s eyes widened in shock, and fear overwhelmed him. He was about to step forward when a
voice from the door stopped him.
“Stop!”
Everyone turned to see Neil standing at the doorway, his expression grave.
Neil rushed to Caroline’s side, his actions hesitant as he observed her beaten body.
Tears welled up in Caroline’s eyes as she looked at Neil. ‘I want to go home, Neil…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer voice barely reached his ears.
Neil teared up, holding back his emotions. “Of course, let me take you home,” he said shakily.
Scooping Caroline into his arms, he glared at Draco. “Mr. Jordan, today’s events have intensified
our conflict. I’ll deal with you in due time.”
Neil turned to leave, and Draco dismissed the bodyguards despite the their intentions to stop him.
He hadn’t expected Neil’s intervention.
The Xander family held even more power in Angelbay than the Jordan family. Draco had to
consider becoming a target if he confronted Neil now. He couldn’t risk becoming enemies over a
woman.
+15 BONUS Draco signaled to his subordinates, and they brandished their firearms, aiming them at
Caroline.
Draco grumbled, ‘If you dare lay a finger on Casey, I’ll kill this woman right now!”
Caroline’s body tensed. She glanced at Evan, only to be met with his distant gaze.
Caroline felt dejected and frowned. ‘Has he given up on me?”
Evan sneered, locking eyes with Draco. “Mark my words, I no longer have any vulnerabilities. Why
should her survival concern me?”
Caroline’s mind went blank. “What did he say again? My survival isn’t his concern?‘
Tears welled up in Caroline’s eyes, and her heart ached. ‘So, he’s not here to save me. He’s here to
seek revenge for his mother.‘ Caroline smiled bitterly. I shouldn’t have expected anything different.‘
Caroline’s heart sank as hope slipped away.
Evan’s heart also clenched painfully as he witnessed the light in Caroline’s eyes extinguish.

Evan clenched his fists as Neil carried Caroline away, his anger simmering. He eventually turned and
walked out of the living room.
They left Jordan Residence one after the other.
Neil placed Caroline in the car and then turned to see Evan leaving the residence. He clenched his
fists, approached Evan with bloodshot eyes, and punched him.
“Evan! Are you blind to Caroline’s condition?” Neil was furious, his usual composure gone.
Evan wiped away the blood from his lips and looked at Neil coldly. “Why don’t you ask Caroline
why she brought my mother into this mess?”
Neil retorted, “Do you really think Caroline would do that?”
“I trust my own judgment.” Evan replied, moving closer to Neil.
They locked eyes, glaring at each other.
“Don’t act like you know her better than I do. She’s been with me much longer than with you!”
Neil wanted to strike Evan again, but Julian intervened.
