Chapter 205
Outside, Mina said anxiously, “I didn’t come to see Mr. Faraday. I heard that Ms. Sullivan is here. So, I
am here to meet her.”
“I’m sorry. but you aren’t allowed to do that too.”
As their request got rejected again, Logan grunted in an impatient tone. “Get out of the way.”
Subsequently, the office door was pushed open, and Mina was led into the room by Logan.
At first, Caroline thought of hiding in the lounge, but it was too late. She quickly blocked her face with a
book, exposing only a pair of clear eyes.
Mina approached and looked at Caroline. Exhilarated, her words were uttered in caution. “Ms. Sullivan,
i–is that you?”
No one knew that Mina was allergic to jasmine except for her family. Other than that, only King, who
formulated the perfume for her, knew about her allergic reaction toward jasmine.
That was why when Caroline mentioned the jasmine allergy earlier today, Mina was surprised.
Yet, when she questioned Renee about it, Rence was evidently clueless about this
matter.
Thus, the truth was revealed. Rence was pretending to be King. The real King was right here before
Mina, and she was Caroline!
Registering that Mina had learned the truth, Caroline nodded and responded, “Yes, I
am.”
As Mina’s assumption was confirmed, she was so thrilled that her words turned incoherent. “Ms.
Sullivan, it’s all my fault. I can’t believe that I mistook someone else for
you.”
Meanwhile, Logan stared at Caroline, who was covering her face with a book, suspiciously. He still
could not bring himself to believe it at all. In a challenging tone, he retorted, “Hey, you ugly woman, are
you sure you’re not lying? How could you be King?”
Smack!
In the blink of an eye, Mina landed a slap on Logan’s head. She then scolded, “How could you talk in
such a manner? Why are you talking so loudly? Who did you call an

ugly woman? You’re uglier than her. Your whole family is also uglier than her!”
Hearing his mother’s angry words, Logan fell quiet and contemplated, “Mom, why did you even curse
yourself out of panic?”
Right after that, Mina slapped his head again. “You must treat her like your sister from today onward.
Hurry up! You should call her Carol. I’m warning you, and you must protect her well from now on!”
“Call her Carol? No way! I don’t want to treat this ugly woman like she’s my sister!” He exclaimed in his
heart, disgusted.
In the meantime, Mina said her farewell politely, “Carol, we’ll stop bothering you then. We’ll take our
leave.”
Feeling afraid of potentially exposing her face, Caroline replied in a hurry, “Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs.
Statham.
“Brat, get out of the room!” Mina shooed Logan out.
Logan was unwilling to accept Caroline. He had never liked the ugly woman from the countryside. And
now, he refused to believe that Caroline was King, and did not want to follow his mother’s order to treat
her like she was his sister. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He thought, “Why did she cover her face with a book?”
All of a sudden, Logan turned and walked back. He came to Caroline in two steps, reached out his
hands, and pulled off the book in her hand. “Ugly woman. Just accept the fact that you’re ugly!
Everyone knows you’re ugly anyway. Why do you still need to cover up?”
Suddenly, Logan fell silent. It was because Caroline’s beautiful face appeared in his vision when he
took the book away from her.
He was completely frozen.
Gasp!
Seeing Caroline’s face, Mina also took a deep breath.
Soon, a deep and unpleasant/voice sounded. “What are you doing?”
Nathan had returned.
Meanwhile, Logan was still grasping Caroline’s slender wrist in his hand. When Nathan approached
with his sonorous and fierce steps, only then did Logan quickly release
Caroline.

Nathan stepped forward and shielded Caroline behind him. His deep and narrowed eyes fell on
Logan’s handsome face, and he pursed his lips in displeasure.
“Nathan,” Logan said as he raised his head. He looked over Nathan’s shoulder, still subconsciously
trying to look behind him.

However, the slender girl was completely blocked from view behind Nathan’s back. His figure obscured
her from the curious stares sent in her direction.
“Get out!” Nathan spat out his demand in utter displeasure.
