Chapter 55 Family Portrait

As Caroline’s gaze fixated on Evan’s cold and elegant face, disturbing images of him and Daniella having sex flashed through her mind. The mixture of heartache and disgust overwhelmed her.

She swiftly raised her hand, slapping away his outstretched hand, unable to contain her mocking

tone. “What on earth did I do to provoke you, Evan?!”

Evan scoffed in response. “You presented me with a gift as soon as I returned from my trip.”

She turned her gaze away, unable to meet his cold eyes.

within her eyes. “You brought a man home and flirted with him, didn’t you?!”

Caroline couldn’t help but scoff at the recollection of Scott’s behavior outside Villa Rossa.

That was flirting?

Anger surged within her, and she suddenly looked up, her voice rising. “Evan, is everyone, apart

“And why can’t I do what you did? Is it because you gave me money?”

Taking a deep breath, Caroline held back the tears welling up in her eyes as she continued. “What
