Chapter 2 An Ugly Country Bumpkin

Caroline shuddered when she heard those words. She finally knew the reason why Shirley changed

her attitude toward this forced marriage.

As it turned out, Nathan was the head of the Faraday family.

The Faraday family was the most prestigious family in Yarwood, though they were quite a mysterious

bunch. Everyone in the city knew of the head of the Faraday family. According to the rumors, he was

unattainable and handsome. Moreover, he was also a legendary figure in the business industry, despite

his young age.

Shirley dreamed of marrying him, but when the Faraday family came to propose the marriage to her,

she found out that she was marrying Nathan, who was born an illegitimate child.

identity as Nathan’s wife.

Now fully understanding the situation, Caroline cast an icy glare at her youngest sister. “Got it!”

Just then, Shirley raised her hand and wiped the foundation off of the right side of Caroline’s face,

revealing a large and nasty scar.

Caroline had the same appearance as Shirley. The only exception was that the former had a scar on

her face. Hence, whenever Caroline was pretending to be her youngest sister, she’d use foundation to

cover the scar up.

In Shirley’s eyes, Caroline was an ugly country bumpkin, while she herself was the most beautiful

woman in Yarwood.

“Mrs. Faraday, Mr. Faraday has returned,” announced the housekeeper.

Nathan had arrived.

Shirley shot Caroline a warning look, then straightened her dress and went over to greet her husband

enthusiastically.

The door to the mansion was pushed open, inviting a cold gust of wind inside. Following that, a tall and

straight figure appeared on the doorstep.

Caroline looked up and saw Nathan.

The man was wearing a black-colored suit that was handmade for him. The luxurious fabric was crisply

ironed and only served to accentuate high and mighty elegance.

He was incredibly handsome, and his facial features looked as if they were carved to perfection by a

master artist. Just his side profile was able to showcase an air of classic elegance that one could see in

film noir.

Undoubtedly, the man from last night was him.

The memories of what happened the night before instantly came flooding back into Caroline’s mind,

and the man’s heavy panting echoed in her ears. Caroline’s long eyelashes trembled slightly when she

recalled the scene, and she lowered her head.

Just then, Shirley pounced onto her husband and said in a kittenish manner, “Honey! You gave me a

hard time in the hotel room last night.”

Unfortunately, Shirley didn’t manage to land in the man’s embrace, for Nathan had grabbed her slender

arms before she could do so. “How dare you play your dirty little tricks on me? Tell me directly if you

have a death wish,” he uttered with his voice cold and devoid of emotions.

Shirley felt that her arms were about to be crushed by his grasp, so she hurriedly explained to him, “H-

Honey, let me explain. I-It was your grandmother. She’s urging us to consummate our marriage as

soon as possible, so she drugged me. She was also the one who gave me the key card to your room.

I’m a victim, just like you…”

Nathan pursed his lips unhappily at Shirley’s words. Once again, it was his grandmother’s doing.

Meanwhile, Caroline stood in an inconspicuous corner and witnessed everything in shock. She had

long heard that the head of the Faraday family was powerful and ruthless in the business industry. He

could take control of any situation and rarely showed any mercy. His presence alone was enough to stir

fear in the hearts of people involved in the industry.

If the man knew she was the one who slept with him, Caroline would be doomed.

At that thought, Caroline turned around, intending to leave.

However, Nathan’s keen instincts seemed to have noticed something, and he lifted his head. Caroline’s

slender figure came into his line of sight almost instantaneously. “Stop right there!” he ordered.

Caroline paused mid-stride, and her heart skipped a beat.

“Did he figure it out?” she wondered.

Nathan walked over to her. “Who are you? Raise your head!”

The man’s domineering aura was so powerful that Caroline could only slowly raise her head.

Nathan’s attention was attracted by her clear and sparkling eyes. They were slightly wet but bright,

composed, and seductive at the same time.

Nathan’s eyes darkened as he recalled that the woman in the room also had a pair of watery eyes.

They looked as if they would scatter like an image in water with just a single touch.

Just then, his gaze turned as sharp as knives as he exclaimed, “It’s you!”

“Oh no! He recognized me!” Caroline screamed inwardly.
