Chapter 57
A crisp slap landed on Nathan’s face. It was so forceful that Nathan’s face turned to the
side.
Caroline’s palm became numb as she had exerted all her force to hit Nathan. She thought she should
have slapped him last night when he forced himself onto her.
Nathan’s expression turned frosty. That was the first time a woman had slapped him.
He put his tongue against his right cheek, which Caroline had just slapped. Nathan slowly turned his
face back toward her as he glared at the latter with hostility, like he would eat her alive.
“How dare she?” Nathan cursed inwardly.
“You!” he said angrily. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Caroline put her face in front of Nathan. “Hit me, Mr. Faraday. You’re such a big shot who can even
make me disappear from Yarwood just by your words. You can torture me any way you want!”
A fierce hostility rose within Nathan’s body. He had never been so forgiving toward a woman, thinking,
“Her behavior is getting more and more daring now! Yes. I have a lot of ways to torture her as I did to
Shirley, but…”
Upon looking at Caroline’s fragile face and watery eyes, Nathan couldn’t bear to use those tricks on
her. After all, she used to be his woman. It was impossible for him to not have compassion toward her.
With that, Nathan stormed away angrily.
With a loud noise, he slammed the gate of Penningcoll Residence shut before driving
away.
Caroline went back to her room and covered herself with a blanket. Her stomach hurt so much, so she
wrapped her arms around it, turned to the side, curled up, and closed her eyes.
The next day, Caroline received a call from the Sullivan residence. Francesca had requested for her to
return for dinner that night.
At present, the power of the Sullivan family was still in the hands of Francesca, and the first and
second branches were fighting excessively to get Sullivan Group.
Francesca had heard the news of Shirley’s humiliation. When Caroline arrived, she heard Francesca
scold, “You’re embarrassing, Shirley! Why did you become an item
66%
with an older man and then get dumped by him? You’ve disgraced the Sullivan family!”
Shirley, Connor, and Liliana stood at the side unhappily. They thought, “What old man. is she talking
about? That man is the head of the Faraday family, Nathan Faraday!”
No one knew about the marriage between Shirley and Nathan because Connor had stolen Caroline’s
emerald two years ago and showed them to the Faraday family.
At that time, someone had fetched Shirley to Royal Garden, and she got married secretly to Nathan.
She was not allowed to reveal the news of her marriage to anyone.
In addition, Shirley was not satisfied with the marriage in the past two years. She had thought she had
married an illegitimate child and asked Caroline to marry him instead. Hence, no one knew anything
about Shirley and Nathan’s marriage.
Currently, everything had unraveled after Nathan returned from abroad.
Joseph rushed forward. “Mom, calm down. Let’s drink some tea.”
Francesca sipped on tea before saying, “I have something significant to announce now. That’s why I
asked for you guys to return home. Next Friday, the head of the Faraday family, Nathan, would officially
take his position as the CEO of Faraday Group, and the ceremony would be held at Statham Hotel.”
As soon as Francesca finished speaking, everyone was abuzz.
“Oh. my God! Is the new CEO the rumored handsome head of the Faraday family?”
“I heard that he was a genius businessman since he was young. He had been working overseas for a
few years, and he has successfully extended the Faraday family’s business. and pushed their business
toward a new peak.”
“This head of the Faraday family is a mysterious man. We still have no idea which member of the
Faraday family is truly in charge. He will take over Faraday Group officially this time, and we will get to
see him during the press conference!”
Caroline stood in an inconspicuous corner and listened to the gossip around her expressionlessly. She
thought, “People are going crazy because he is about to reveal his identity.”
Francesca took Wrenna’s hand, announcing, “I have good news! Astra Entertainment found potential in
Wrenna. They successfully signed a contract yesterday. Since she was favored, Wrenna could
approach the head of Faraday Group easily. Maybe she will be Mrs. Faraday soon!”
Wrenna was beautiful and enchanting and had been a supermodel that walked on many shows. She
had many wealthy suitors, so she had always been arrogant. Because of her,
the first branch had undefeatable confidence, too. Wrenna had no interest in average men. Hence, she
had placed all of her attention on Nathan.
