“I didn’t not believe you. It’s i
that Stella and I have known each other for sixteen years and
seven months, and she has never lied to anyone.”
Travis paused, furrowing his brows, and decided to put an end to this.
“Caroline, you made Stella cry, you are responsible for comforting her.”
At that moment, Stella, who had been sobbing all along, threw the ring in her hand into the swimming pool and let out a cry of surprise.
“Travis, you accidentally dropped the ring you gave me into the swimming pool.”
With that, Stella looked at Caroline, her red lips curling up provocatively, and said, “Here’s the deal, no need to sweet–talk me anymore. If you pick up that ring, I will forgive you for everything you’ve done to hurt me.”
Recently, winter has just arrived, and the water in the swimming pool was freezing cold and bone–chilling.
Caroline’s head injury had not yet healed as she looked down at Travis, who was sitting-
The man lowered his brows, making it difficult to see his eyes.
His slender fingers lightly tapped on the table, his aloof head always lowered, not giving her a glance.
At that moment, Caroline felt her heart being stabbed by something, causing intense pain.
She suddenly remembered the six months after Travis was diagnosed with a disability,
Sir Smith came to the hospital to see him and learned that his chances of recovery were slim, so he began to select other heirs.
When Caroline found Travis that evening in the ward, he had disappeared. She discovered him pushing a wheelchair towards the turbulent sea, allowing the icy water to spread up to his chest.
Caroline was frightened and hurriedly tried to persuade him, but he pushed her away.
“Don’t pretend to control me anymore. You are just my girlfriend, not my wife. If you really want to control me, go out and experience the strong winds and waves now, and I will listen to you in the future.”
Caroline stared at him blankly, but in fact, she really wanted to tell him that she wasn’t pretending, she genuinely wanted to be his wife.

So, even though she was a non–swimmer, she didn’t hesitate and turned around to plunge into the
The waves were high and the wind was strong. She was quickly swept into the sea and lost consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, she met Travis‘ concerned black eyes.
The man’s face was very pale, with his jaw tightly clenched.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you couldn’t swim? Are you crazy? How could you jump into the sea without knowing how to swim?”
She looked up at him, her voice hoarse.
“Travis, even if your leg never got better for the rest of your life, I still want to marry you. I really… like you more than you think.”
Since then, Travis never took her to the seaside, and even the swimming pool at home was prohibited from being filled with water.
She felt it was strange that the swimming pool had no water, so Travis compromised and had the maid change the water every day.
With such thoughts in mind, Caroline tugged at the corners of her lips, her little face devoid of expression.
“Let me pick up the ring, right? Okay, I’ll go pick it up.
With that, Caroline didn’t even take off her coat and turned around, jumping into the swimming pool.
The cold water soaked her skin, making her shiver all over.
Caroline slowly fell, engulfed by boundless fear, but she stubbornly gritted her teeth and refused to seek help.
Soon, a red blood spread in the swimming pool.
Sebastian on the side exclaimed.
“Oh my God, Mrs. Smith’s head was bleeding!”
Travis took off his jacket and jumped into the pool to rescue Caroline, shouting angrily, “Enough! Why are you so stubborn? Can’t you just turn around and leave?”
Caroline looked up and gazed at the diamond ring beneath the swimming pool, indifferently saying, “You asked me to please her, didn’t you? Well, I’m like this now. Your beloved should be satisfied, Chapter

right?”
Travis frowned, his exquisite handsome face now dark and menacing-
“How many times have I told you, I really only see Stella as a sister. The Howard family is well off in Lashton, what if outsiders find out about what you’ve done? The current public opinion is not easy to control. I asked you to appease her, to calm her down, everything I’ve done is for your own good.”
Travis spoke affectionately, as if everything was for her sake.
Caroline could hear it, but she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
He said that public opinion was difficult to suppress.
Back in the day, the heir of the Smith family became disabled due to Stella’s involvement in a car race. Wasn’t this incident also forcefully suppressed?
Stella was causing trouble everywhere, bullying the weak and fearing the strong on campus. The Howard family had a bad reputation, but all these years, they were still able to live a smooth and easy life, relying on Travis, this strong support.
Even the matter of them doing test tube babies, wasn’t it also kept hidden by him tightly?
Now, even if the kidnapping incident was actually done by oneself, it is ironic that it is now being used as an excuse to say that public opinion is difficult to handle.
In the end, I was far less important in Travis‘ heart compared to Stella.
Caroline didn’t want to say another word to Travis. She took off her soaked black coat and walked into the living room.
After taking a few steps, perhaps due to excessive blood loss from her head, she suddenly fainted.
Travis’s face changed dramatically as he quickly walked towards Caroline, just as he was about to embrace her.
Stella suddenly bent down and squatted on the ground, crying with tears streaming down her face. “Travis, my stomach hurts so much. Help me up the stairs so I can lie down for a while.”
Travis paused in his steps, he withdrew his hand to hold Caroline’s hand, and turned around to pick up Stella.
He let Caroline’s head hit the ground heavily, looking towards Sebastian beside him, leaving only
one sentence.
