Chapter 268: Shocking News
Caryn had been watching the final round of the competition on the TV screen until the very end. Once it was over, her mind fixated on Natalie’s description of her perfume and how she spoke of her husband as the most important person in her life.
Frown lines appeared on Caryn’s forehead as she muttered, "Giving this much importance to a man is nothing but the biggest mistake any woman can make, and my daughter seems to be walking the same path—the path I despise the most."
Eric, who had also been in the room watching the competition, heard her and turned to look at her. "Which man do you regret having? James Harper or Jay Ford?"
Caryn turned sharply to glare at him, her eyes piercing like daggers.
Eric cleared his throat awkwardly. "Well... Jay Ford was never a man in your eyes, so James Harper... maybe?"
She clenched her teeth, her patience clearly thinning. "If you’re that free, get me every bit of information about Natalie’s husband. With age, you’re turning useless, Eric and don’t prove me right on this."
Eric simply hummed and kept quiet. He didn’t know how to tell her who Natalie’s husband really was. Aiden’s twin brother? And how did all of this even happen? How would she react when she found out it was Aiden who orchestrated everything without even letting Caryn know?
As Eric was processing it all, he didn’t realize he himself was still in the dark about the full truth. He only knew Natalie’s husband as Aiden Shaw’s twin. But if Eric knew the man was actually James Harper’s son, he would have probably fainted from shock—especially knowing Caryn’s past with James Harper.
"Eric," Caryn called for him, her voice calmer this time.
"Yes?" the man replied.
"You still don’t know where Aiden has gone?" she asked.
