Trapped in Love By Kitty Song

Chapter 13 I Can Help You

“How do you explain yourself?” Evan’s voice boomed above Caroline her, dripping with cold sarcasm.

She offered a bitter smile. How else could she possibly explain it?

The surveillance video had clearly been manipulated, but she lacked any evidence to prove it.

“Say something!” His angry roar made her involuntarily tremble.

Overwhelmed by a profound sense of injustice, she helplessly closed her eyes. “What else can I say?”

Her indifferent response only fueled his frustration and annoyance.

She always responded this way. Whenever she couldn’t defend herself, she would surrender, leaving herself at the mercy of others.

She had done the same in the surveillance video, as well as now, standing in front of him.

Disgusted, he averted his gaze and issued a cold warning. “From now on, you are not permitted to leave the villa, except for work.”

Caroline looked up at him in disbelief. “Who are you to take away my freedom?”

“I am your superior!” With those words, Evan stormed out and slammed the door behind him.

Caroline was left speechless on the spot. The dull ache in her heart reminded her of how inferior her status was.

Battling physical and mental exhaustion, she steadied herself by leaning against the table. Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of a locked drawer in the center.

She stared at it, entranced.

She knew all too well what lay inside—the source of Evan’s vulnerability.

It was the place where he once tightly embraced her while he was drunk. In a moment of exhaustion, he murmured, “Caroline, everyone thinks I’m invincible, but do you know where my weakness lies? It’s in the drawer in the study. Every time I open it, my heart is consumed by excruciating pain.”

That was the first time she witnessed him being so disappointed and dejected.

At that time, she remained unaware of what was kept inside the drawer. She couldn’t fathom what had caused such desperation in a formidable man.

However, now, a sense of realization washed over her.
