In the office, Nicholas saw the submissive looking woman who was sobbing behind him. He glanced at the sofa from the corner of his eyes before he turned around to retrieve the first aid kit. "What's your name?"

Sitting upright, Caroline looked up at him and said, "Caroline! I'm telling you the truth!"

Caroline?

Nicholas could only recall that Frederick had a younger sister named Hallie. Moreover, as far as he was aware of it, Alicia did not get along with her that well!

Why hadn't he heard of Frederick having another sister?

Nicholas' eyes narrowed as he sized her up once again.

Caroline gazed directly at him with her alluring eyes that were filled with sincerity. At that moment, Nicholas took out a tweezer and poured some ointment over the cotton balls while he said, "I'll help you treat your wound first to disinfect it!"

As soon as he approached her, Caroline immediately gripped her clothes tightly and fled to the other end of the sofa. Right then, there was a sense of wariness in her eyes.

"Haha!"

Nicholas couldn't help but chuckled, She wasn't that dense after all! He guessed that she was clever, but her actions were occasionally questionable! He thought. Caroline was indeed slow on the uptake. She only kept her guard up after she entered the tiger's den.

As he sat down, Nicholas slicked his lips and shook his head. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in a scrawny girl like you! Just let me treat your wound so that it'll heal faster!" Besides, if she was really a member of the Clements family, wouldn't Alicia be put in a difficult situation if she went back in such a state?

All of a sudden, Caroline's eyes widened in frustration as she was belittled by the man twice in that night. What an undiscerning man! He was clearly unaware that there are many men who are attracted to her! She thought to herself.

Not wanting to force her, Nicholas then kept the cotton balls back into the first aid kit. Shortly after, he stood up and walked over to the bar by the side to pour two glasses of white wine. He gently swirled them before he headed back and handed her a glass.

Caroline took a sniff and instantly shook her head. "I don't drink!"

The alcohol content is very low, so it isn't intoxicating!" Right as he uttered those words, Nicholas
