Chapter 1162
That evening, Elysia brought Caroline back to Number One Mansion. Caroline only had one daughter, Winona, and now that Winona was in trouble, Ridley was too busy playing house with that “illegitimate daughter” to be there for her. Elysia couldn’t bear the thought of Caroline being alone in that house under Zane’s
watchful eye.
Bringing her to Number One Mansion meant she had company and could speak freely without the fear of being overheard.
As soon as they got home, Elysia reassured her, “Caroline, you don’t have to worry about Zane spying on you here. In my house, you can say whatever you want, and he won’t be able to hear a thing p>
Tears welled up in Caroline’s eyes, “Thank you, Elysia. Thank you so much p>
“Please, there’s no need to thank me. Winona is like a sister to me, and her family is my family. Consider this place your home, truly p>
Caroline, overwhelmed with emotion, hugged Elysia tightly, sobbing, “I regret it so much. I should never have let Winona marry that beast Zane p>
“If I’d known how cruel he was, I would never have let him into the Newsom family! I’m so regretful, so regretful p>
Finally, she could let out all the words she had been holding inside. Elysia understood her pain, holding Caroline like a daughter comforting her mother, gently patting her back.
Elysia was determined to help Caroline because Winona had always been so good to her.
Once Caroline had let it all out, Elysia said, “Good things happen to good people, and bad things catch up with bad ones. It may take time, but justice will be served p>
“Winona is a good person, and she will come back safe. Zane is not, and his time will come p>
Elliot and Evan quickly joined in to comfort Caroline as well, “Mrs. Newsom, don’t cry. Winona will definitely come back p>
“Please take care of yourself, Mrs. Newsom. You need to stay healthy and strong for Winona’s return p>
Caroline looked at the two youngsters fondly, “Such good kids, really good kids p>
“Mrs. Newsom, let us take you to meet our grandma and the little ones. They’ll be so glad to see you p>
“Alright, let’s go p>
Elliot and Evan each took one of Caroline’s hands and led her toward the main house. Elysia and Tarquin followed closely behind.
Elysia’s eyes were red from holding back tears. Caroline’s sadness had touched her deeply. Tarquin took her hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
“Blossom is almost in Jindale City,” Tarquin informed her. “I’ve arranged for someone to pick her up and bring her straight here. She’ll stay with us for the time being p>
Blossom had been frantic with worry after hearing about Winona and had immediately booked a flight back. She was due to arrive tonight.
Knowing how close the two women were, Tarquin had asked Heath to prepare a guest room for her. With both Caroline and Blossom staying here, Elysia could be with them, talk, and find some comfort in their company.
“Thank you, Tarquin,” Elysia said, truly grateful. Winona’s troubles had nothing to do with him, yet he was going out of his way to help, all because of her.
Tarquin playfully pinched her cheek, not missing a beat, “I’ll remember this ‘thank you’ and collect on it later p>
He gave her a meaningful look, then took her hand and led her towards the main house.
Elysia was left a bit speechless but followed along.
An hour later, Blossom arrived. As soon as she saw Elysia and Caroline, tears started to flow.
“I can’t believe he’d hurt Winona! He put on such a good act! And to think I used to praise him for treating her well! He’s worse than scum p>
“Caroline, please don’t be sad. Once we get Winona back, Elysia and I will make sure he pays p>
Caroline hugged Blossom, both of them crying, while Elysia sat beside them, joining in their tears. It was as if the two daughters were comforting their mother.
