Trapped in Love

Chapter 880 Calling off for Real 

Caroline answered Evan’s call with a smile.

“Hello? Are you coming home?” she asked cheerfully.

“Caroline, I’m sorry that I can’t attend the engagement party today,” Evan apologized in a deep voice.

Caroline was taken aback. “Did something happen?”

Evan explained, “Our company’s firewall in Muricia has been breached, and a highly confidential document has been stolen. I need to be there right away.”

Suppressing the intense dejection in her heart, Caroline lowered her gaze and replied, “Understood, you

may go.”

“I’m sorry.” Evan sounded guilty.

Caroline forced a smile. “It’s fine. I understand the urgency of company matters. We can do the

engagement party another day.”

Evan kept quiet for a moment before saying, “Wait for my return.”

Although saddened, Caroline agreed, “Sure, I’ll wait.”

After ending the call, Charis noticed Caroline’s dejected expression and asked, “Are you okay, Ms.

Shenton?”

Caroline put down the phone. “You may stop now.”

Charis asked, “Huh, why?”

With a bitter smile, Caroline explained, “Something happened, so we can’t proceed with today’s

engagement party. Thank you for doing this. You may leave.”

Charis packed up and headed downstairs.

Kenny approached her and asked, “You’re done with G’s makeup so soon?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Awkwardly, Charis replied, “Ms, Shenton called off the session. She seems to be in a bad mood. You

should check on her. I shall take my leave.”

Kenny was concerned. ‘What? She called off the session? Did something bad happen?‘

He then rushed upstairs.

Finding Caroline sitting absentmindedly, Kenny frowned. “G?”

Caroline answered, “Yes, come in.”

Kenny anxiously said, “What happened?”

Caroline kept quiet with tightly pursed lips.

Kenny bent over and pressed, “What happened, G? Did Evan do something that displeased you? Did he

ask to call off the engagement? Is he cheating on you? Tell me so I can help!”

Caroline shook her head. “No, Kenny. He has-”

“Carol.” Greta’s voice echoed before Caroline could finish her sentence.

Kenny and Caroline turned to see Greta entering with Yuliana. Kenny appeared infuriated by Yuliana’s

presence, but she remained calm.

“Caroline, you don’t look well,” Yuliana remarked.

Greta approached swiftly. “Carol? Did something happen?”

Overwhelmed with emotions, Caroline took a deep breath and announced, “Aunt Greta, the engagement has to be called off.”

“You’re calling off the engagement for real? Where is Evan?” Kenny shouted.

Caroline bit her lower lip. “His company’s branch in Muricia is in trouble, and he is needed there.”

Greta asked with mixed emotions, “How important is the situation that he is needed there, Carol?”

Caroline replied, “It is highly confidential.”

“In that case, there’s nothing we can do. He has to deal with such a significant issue happening in the

company,” Greta concluded.

Caroline did not speak but understood the reasoning.
