Chapter 433 Dumped

Caroline glanced at her watch and replied, “Sure, I’ll be there in 30 minutes.”

I’ll wait,” came the response.

After ending the call, Caroline hurried over to Table One.

Twenty minutes later, she entered a private room at Table One, only to find Paige eating rapidly

with tears in her eyes.

Caroline closed the door quietly and took a seat across from her.

“Paige, who hurt you?” she asked.

Paige put down her utensils, chewed slowly, and replied. “I ended the relationship.” novelbin

Caroline was taken aback. Just two days ago, everything seemed fine.

Paige burst into tears. She explained to Caroline how Alex had gone on a date his mother arranged, leaving her deeply hurt.

“Caroline, I tried my best not to make a scene because I didn’t want to ruin the relationship. But I’m hurting so much inside, and I can’t hold myself together…”

Paige took a large bite of her food, eating alongside her tears and sobbing silently.

Caroline welled up with tears as well. She had never seen Paige like this before. Paige had never

had a boyfriend and usually had friendly relationships with younger men, but she was a conservative person at heart. Alex was the first man she had ever invested her feelings in.

Caroline couldn’t help feeling angry. ‘Why did Alex go on that date without telling Paige? Even if it was well–intentioned, he shouldn’t have hidden it from her!‘

Caroline knew that Paige despised betrayal and lies.

She embraced Paige. “Alex is in the wrong here, Paige. But we shouldn’t rush to label him as unfaithful based solely on this incident.”

Paige continued to sob. “Even if he said those things to his date on purpose, it was wrong of him to keep it from me!”

Caroline reassured her, “Let me talk to him about this, okay?”

Paige shook her head. “I can’t trust his words anymore after falling for his act with that woman. Who knows if he’ll use such tricks to deceive me in the future?” :

Caroline’s expression turned serious. “This situation needs clarification, one way or another.”

Meanwhile, at MK

Alex lay despondent in Evan’s office, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Evan briefly studied Alex before saying. “This isn’t a psychiatric clinic. You should seek help elsewhere.” 1

Alex turned his head slowly. “Are you

also going to abandon me, Evan?”

Evan shot him a glance. “Can you speak coherently?”

Alex sighed. I’ve been dumped.”

“Hmm,” Evan replied casually.

Alex was astonished. “Is ‘hmm‘ all you’ve got?”

Evan grabbed a folder, lowered his gaze, and muttered, “What do you want me to say?

Congratulations on getting dumped?”

Alex sat up abruptly. “Aren’t you supposed to console me, tell me not to be sad, and try to reconcile with Paige?”

“The next one will be better,” Evan said. (1

Alex glared at him. “Then why don’t you move on from Caroline?”

Evan paused his document search and met Alex’s gaze. “What are your thoughts?”

Alex looked away. “I wouldn’t dare to have an opinion. I was just making a point.”

Evan remained silent, and Alex grew uneasy.

Standing up, he approached Evan’s desk and leaned in. “Evan, please listen…”

Alex explained the events of that afternoon but was interrupted by Reuben, who walked in and
