Chapter 52 What is Conscience
+15 BONUS
When Bradley went to open the door, he discreetly peeped into the corridor to ensure no one was
following Caroline. Satisfied, he let her in and scrutinized her as she took a seat.
“You mentioned that you brought something for me. Where is it?” he inquired.
Caroline lied, “Oh, I left it in the car.”
He became suspicious and pressed further, “And what about the money?”
“I can give you the money,” she said, staring coldly at him, “But I hope you can tell me the truth. about
something.”

someone else to defame me? If you dare, I’ll give you 2,800 dollars. If you don’t, it’ll prove that you’re
guilty of it!”
Bradley’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Caroline! How dare you speak to me in such a manner?! You’re
shameless, being someone else’s mistress. I haven’t even taught you a lesson for humiliating me! It
seems what they say about you is true – you’re nothing but a bitch!”
Shaking with disappointment, Caroline never expected her biological father to utter such horrible
words. She had hoped he wouldn’t stoop so low.

pay me?”
“I didn’t pay you?!” Her eyes reddened with anger. “Do you feel any sense of conscience when you. say
that?!”
“Conscience?!” He stood up and rolled up his sleeves. “Okay, you want to talk about conscience with
me? I’ll show you what conscience means today!”
Caroline’s heart pounded as Bradley made a move to strike her. She instinctively stood up and
retreated toward the door, warning him, “You know the consequences if you hit me!”
Ignoring her, he grabbed the ashtray from the table and threw it at her. She managed to dodge it, but
she couldn’t evade him as he charged towards her, swinging his fist and grabbing her hair.
As she was forcefully flung away, she instinctively protected her tummy.
Bradley vented all his pent–up rage from his time in the detention center, delivering a torrent of kicks
and punches.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Paige paced anxiously, glancing upward every now and then. Half an hour
had passed, and Caroline hadn’t come down. Paige considered dragging Reuben upstairs
Before she could act, a Rolls Royce suddenly pulled up outside. Evan stepped out of the car with a

heard Caroline’s screams loud and clear.

“Reuben, catch him! Wait for my return, but don’t kill him yet!” Evan commanded.
Coincidentally, they encountered Scott when they arrived at the hospital. He swiftly arranged for
Caroline to be taken directly to the operating room. Paige remained at the hospital, while Evan
stationed two bodyguards there.
Upon Evan’s return to Villa Rosa, Bradley was on the brink of death from the severe beating.
Evan sat on the couch, his gaze icy as he stared at Bradley, who was being held by the bodyguards.
He asked coldly, “Does it hurt?”
Bradley nodded, feeling dizzy. “Yes… Yes.”
“Good, Caroline is hurting too!” Evan sneered, barely containing his anger.
Bradley shook his head with arrogance, but fear quickly overcame him as he faced Evan’s
menacing presence.

Evan’s cold stare locked onto him. “You’re responsible for making Caroline a trending topic online,
right?”

Bradley looked bewildered. “What do you mean? Trending topic? I don’t understand.”
Indeed, he had no knowledge about it, as he wasn’t familiar with the internet.
Evan tried a different approach. “Did you tell anyone about her sending you to the detention
center?”
Bradley confessed honestly, “I did.”
“Who was it?”
“A man wearing a cap and a mask. He approached me out of the blue. I don’t know him. But he was
generous and said he’d pay me 7,000 dollars if I told him about what she did.”
Evan glanced at Reuben. “Check the security camera.”
Reuben nodded in response and swiftly left the villa. Bradley looked around guiltily. “Boss, there’s
something else about her that I haven’t told anyone. Would you like to buy that information off
me?”
