Chapter 168 Does Your Mother Know?
Gordon was nothing short of an American legend.
18 min leh
A self-made man who clawed his way up from nothing, armed with nothing but ruthless instinct and a talent for spotting gold where others saw gravel. By forty, he'd built a business empire so untouchable it made him the richest man in America, and years later, no one had come close.
But life never did hand out perfection.
At the peak of his power, when his company was soaring and his influence was untouchable, his marriage crumbled. His wife left him-left the country, in fact-and cut herself out of his world without a backward glance. The daughter she left behind didn't seem to care much for him either.
Gordon would admit, if pressed, that he hadn't been a good father. He was a figurehead, a ghost who flickered in and out of Caroline's life. Some years, he barely saw her at all.
She looked too much like her mother. Every time he faced her, it brought back that cold, distant woman who had walked away like none of it ever mattered.
But now, sitting across from her, really looking at her, he realized something that caught him completely off guard. Caroline didn't look like her mother, not really.

The resemblance was skin-deep. Beneath the surface was a different creature entirely, one he couldn't place. It unsettled him. The more he looked, the more unfamiliar she became.
And she was staring back at him with eyes like cut glass-cool, clear, and detached. The titles, the wealth, the respect-none of it meant a thing to her.
To Caroline, the richest man in America was no different than a stranger on the street.
"What does it have to do with you?" she asked.
Every word was razor-sharp, dipped in contempt, but delivered with such calm detachment that getting offended would've made him the fool.
Gordon felt the breath hitch in his chest.
He, who had directed empires and toppled rivals with a single call, had to take several deep breaths just to suppress the anger rising up in him.
"What do you mean it doesn't concern me?" he said. "I'm your father. I introduced you to so many great men any woman would kill to marry. Every last one of them is leagues ahead of that Alistair guy you picked."
At the mention of Alistair, Caroline's expression darkened. Her
