Chapter 827 - Carolines Delusion (1/2)

Meanwhile, in a luxury suite in a downtown hotel, Caroline Wendell hung up the phone and then stored her cellphone in her bag. Her face gave a faint smile.

'This is a very good development,' Caroline thought to herself. The slight curve on her beautiful face slowly grew into a broad smile, and her eyes flashed with satisfaction.

”Who called you?” someone asked her.

Soon, a man came out of the bedroom. Caroline turned to the man and shrugged. Danny Swann seemed he just woke up, and his face still looked sleepy. The man insisted on going with Caroline to Berlin even though she had tried to find an excuse so that Danny would not go.

Last night she also couldn't send Danny away, and they spent the night together. Danny woke up late, and his mood didn't look too good.

”Nobody. I just made an appointment to see my friend in Berlin.” Finally, Caroline answered in a flat tone.

”Your friend? Which friend?” Danny asked in a probing tone.

Caroline looked at him sharply. ”You can't possibly know every single friend I have, right? You don't know this one.”

”What's up with that tone?” Danny frowned in surprise. ”Of course, I'm asking you because we're childhood friends. I know all of your friends. If you suddenly want to meet other people here, then it's only natural that I will ask questions.”

The man looked offended. Caroline then waved her hand to calm him down. She knew now was not the right time to fight with Danny. She changed her tone and spoke more gently.

”Honey, this is only a girls' stuff. You don't need to know the details. It's boring. I also have to meet with my father to discuss his presentation tomorrow at the conference.” She approached Danny Swann and hugged his neck to coax the man. ”Didn't you also want to meet with a lawyer to take care of your grandfather's will?”

Danny looked at Caroline with an annoyed expression, but finally, he just nodded.

”Yes,” he answered in a flat voice.

”You know what my father thinks, right? He won't give us his blessings if you can't secure your inheritance. Don't blame me if Dad won't want to see you.”

When he heard Caroline's words, Danny frowned in annoyance, but he knew that he had no choice. Finally, after taking a deep breath, he nodded. ”I'll take care of that now.”

Caroline looked at Danny Swann with narrowed eyes. She could see a dangerous glint in the man's eyes.

Caroline knew that over the past few weeks, Danny had tried so many ways to get all his grandfather's inheritance for himself. He had mobilized all his family lawyers, and didn't even hesitate to use dirty methods to slander and spread lies in the media that he was married to L.

The only way that Danny hadn't tried was to kill. But Caroline knew him well enough. She was not sure that Danny would resort to killing a woman to secure his inheritance.

”All right, Honey. You do what you need to do. I'll call you later,” Caroline said before kissing Danny's lips and letting go. ”I'll get ready first.”

The girl went into the bathroom and Danny Swann was forced to take his leave because the host had subtly asked him to go.
