After the New Year's Eve Tragedy Her Icy Return novel Chapter 74

Liam glared at her, eyes blazing with fury. “Even if that true, you shouldn’t have just left to deliver food without telling anyone! Don’t you know Helen and I were waiting for you? We waited over two hours!”

What really got to him was that Helen had spent the entire afternoon looking around for Caroline–and even hurt her hand.

More and more, he felt that Caroline was just a walking disaster.

Whoever got involved with her would end up miserable

Hearing that, Caroline couldn’t help but sneer

Waited for her for two hours?

That sounded so touching.

Anyone who didn’t know the truth might actually be moved–moved by how patient he was, waiting there for hours.

“You were waiting for me, or were you just waiting for me to show up and sign the papers?”

Caroline’s words made Liam’s eyes flicker, though he still pretended nothing was wrong.

“I was waiting for you. Don’t try to twist the story just to dodge the facts!”

He was certain–he and Helen had never mentioned anything about the loan to her. Caroline couldn’t possibly know.

Just as he felt confident and righteous, Caroline’s next sentence drained the color from his face.

“You think I don’t know about your disgusting little scheme? If I’d shown up to that place again, I would’ve walked right into your trap and signed off on hundreds of thousands in loans without even knowing it!”

She deliberately raised her voice–not just so Edwin in the living room could hear but also for Miguel, who was out on the balcony trimming flowers..

She wanted them to hear it all loud and clear–just how low Liam could stoop.

Especially Miguel. He despised liars and manipulators the most–let’s see how he reacted to this.

The living room fell into a tense silence when her words dropped.

Edwin turned to look at Liam, eyes narrowing. “Liam, what’s this about the loan?”

He did know Liam wanted Caroline to take out the loan And honestly, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.

After all, they’d raised her, fed her, houséd her.

Helping with a loan? Totally fair.

But if Liam was trying to trick her into it, now that was different.

Even Miguel, who’d been quietly pruning flowers, stopped what he was doing. His expression shifted as he turned to stare at Liam, waiting for his answer.

He’d always kept himself out of factory matters–but hearing Liam try to manipulate Caroline into unknowingly signing off on a huge loan? Even he was shocked.
