The caption read: "After all these years, you’re still the only one who truly cares about my safety."
A second later, Jared’s comment appeared below it.
"As long as it’s you, I’d walk through fire and cross mountains of swords."
They were truly in love.
Then, her phone rang. It was Jared’s mother.
"Carrie, Jared says he’s going to marry Karin. This time, he insists on marrying her no matter what. I won’t rely on you anymore."
Her voice turned cold.
"Since you failed to drive her away, just wait for the contract to expire and leave quietly. I’ll keep my promise and arrange the surgery for Art—but as for the follow-up expenses, you’ll have to figure that out yourself."
The call ended.
For a long moment, Carrie just stood there, letting the words settle.
She only had to endure it until the contract expired, and she would be free.
After everything she had suffered, that day had finally come.
Carrie wanted to play it cool and leave on the exact day the contract expired, but Jared unexpectedly approached her again.
Tomorrow was his friend's wedding, and he had the audacity to ask her to dress up and attend with him.
She rejected him outright. "Just take Karin with you. I don’t mind."
