Trapped in Love

Chapter 884 Do You Have Any Questions 

“Are you implying that someone is intentionally trying to sabotage their engagement?” Alex asked.

Lucas pondered for a moment and replied, “I believe so.”

“Even though Evan has some opponents, those people wouldn’t have the courage to do that!” Alex countered.

Lucas shifted his gaze to Caroline.

Caroline lowered her gaze and stated, “Forget it. I’ll deal with the media first.”

Lucas and Alex sighed.

Alex said, “Forgive Evan, Caroline.”

Caroline nodded. “I know. Go and take a seat first, or it will be chaotic once the journalists are here.”

Alex and Lucas nodded.

Caroline walked up to the stage and nodded at Kenny.

Kenny left to invite the journalists inside.

In less than 10 minutes, the journalists arrived at the banquet hall. They looked at Caroline standing alone on the stage in astonishment.

Someone asked, “Is Mr. Jordan not here, Ms. Shenton?”

“Is Mr. Jordan not coming to his engagement party today?”

Caroline glanced at the journalists. “Please calm down and take a seat, everyone. I will explain shortly.”

The journalists sat down in succession.

Caroline composed herself and said, “Firstly, I’m very sorry for having everyone come here in vain today. It’s supposed to be our engagement party, but Evan won’t be coming. The reason is personal and lies with me.”

Kenny, Neil, and the others were shocked to hear that.

Kenny exclaimed, “What is Caroline doing? Why Is she putting the blame on herself?”

Neil’s usually gentle expression turned colder.

Greta and Thomas sighed.

Liora was angry. “I don’t like Daddy anymore!”

Tyler kept quiet.

Axel sighed. “What will Daddy think when he sees this…”

The journalists made a commotion for a while before voicing their questions.

“Ms. Shenton, may I ask what your personal issue is that led to Mr. Jordan’s refusal to attend?”

“Ms. Shenton, did you do something that offended Mr. Jordan?”

“Ms. Shenton, so is your marriage completely off now?”

Caroline stated, “It’s not for the reasons you might think. He went abroad because of an unintentional comment I made.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“What did you say, Ms. Shenton?”

Caroline appeared shy as she said, “I mentioned that the engagement seems so rushed that we didn’t have time to get an engagement ring. He traveled abroad this morning to order a ring because of my comment, and he can’t make it back in time due to a flight delay now.

“I’m very sorry about this. I believe he will be able to give everyone a proper closure in a few days.”

The journalists looked at each other in puzzlement. They were doubtful about Caroline’s explanation, but she seemed to be telling the truth.

A journalist remarked, “Mr. Jordan loves you a lot that he would travel abroad just because of your comment.”

“We envy your relationship very much, Ms. Shenton.”

Caroline smiled. “As such, the engagement party tonight has been changed to a reception. Please enjoy the food and drinks.”

Caroline was preparing to walk down the stage upon saying that.

Suddenly, someone stood up in the crowd. “Ms. Shenton.”

Caroline was slightly stunned to hear the familiar voice.

Soon afterward, she stopped walking and looked at the woman wearing a mask and a hat.

The woman stood very close to her, and Caroline could tell who she was just by looking at her attire and figure.

Caroline stopped and asked, “Do you have any questions, lady?”

The woman did not speak but walked closer to Caroline.

Caroline frowned. “Do you have any questions?”
