CHAPTER 752: CHAPTER 752: I’M SORRY, I WAS BEING SELFISH THIS TIME

Caroline Sloan looked at Father and Mother Sloan with extreme disappointment, "Mom, Dad, what do you take me for, a commodity to be sold at a price?"

Compared to the greedy faces of Father and Mother Sloan, Caroline Sloan resembled a delicate flower swaying in the wind, prompting a strong urge in others to protect her immediately.

"Lillian, what you’re saying... We raised you, and it’s time for you to be filial to us. Besides, didn’t you find a wealthy man yourself? What’s wrong with us wanting to meet him?"

Caroline Sloan clenched her small fists tightly. As she moved, her heels were already hanging in the air, causing the onlookers to gasp in shock.

But she was unaware of the danger she was in. Her watery eyes revealed deep despair, "I won’t let you meet him. He’s my big brother. I’d rather die now..."

Caroline made a gesture as if to turn and jump off. The onlookers were just about to stop her when she paused, lifting her gaze quickly to land on Hayden Crawford. She seemed to be overwhelmed with grievances, her nose turned red, and large tear drops fell down as she choked, "Big brother..."

Hayden Crawford had been there with Serena Sterling the whole time but had remained silent. Now, as soon as he was called out, everyone’s eyes "shoo" turned to him.

Father and Mother Sloan looked at Hayden Crawford, their mouths agape with shock, incredulously saying, "Li...Lillian, is he the wealthy man you found?"

Father and Mother Sloan, who were extremely greedy and loved money the most, had met several wealthy people, but those people were worlds apart from Hayden Crawford, the head of the world’s top financial group.

They scrutinized Hayden Crawford several times from top to bottom. His luxurious custom-made fabric and the expensive steel watch on his solid wrist made his entire attire worth millions – it was all money!

Hayden Crawford’s deep eyes swept over Father and Mother Sloan and Caroline Sloan lightly. He didn’t immediately respond to Caroline but instead squeezed Serena Sterling’s soft little hand tenderly with his warm gaze, "It’s windy on the rooftop, are you cold?"

Serena Sterling shook her head, "I’m okay."

Hayden Crawford raised his distinctly jointed fingers and took off his coat, draping it over her delicate shoulders.

His coat was so large that it wrapped around her slender body, leaving only a small head out. His skillful fingers fastened the buttons for her, "Stand here and don’t move."

"Got it, you go ahead."

Only then did Hayden Crawford stride his long legs forward, walking towards Caroline Sloan. He stood tall and straight, his eyes falling on Caroline’s face, "It’s dangerous there, come over here."

Caroline Sloan’s tears seemed endless, falling down with immense grievance, "Big brother, don’t bother with me. I know Sister Serena doesn’t like me and might misunderstand. I don’t want to put you in a difficult position."

Suddenly being called out, Serena Sterling, "..."

Why does she feel like the big villain here?

Hayden Crawford’s gaze didn’t waver, his voice was flat without any fluctuation, speaking in a deep tone, "Serena Sterling is my woman, and you, you’re nothing, so she won’t misunderstand, and I won’t be troubled."

Caroline Sloan, "..."

Caroline Sloan was dumbfounded, looking at Hayden Crawford in front of her in shock. Does he... does he even know how to comfort someone? How to talk?

Is he here to save her?

Does he think she’s jumping too slowly and wants to give her a push?

Caroline Sloan’s hand hanging by her side instantly clenched into a fist. In her watery eyes flashed a hint of malicious darkness, remembering the humiliation Hayden Crawford had subjected her to by calling her outside the hotel room last night.

But did Hayden Crawford stop humiliating her? No!

"Big brother, then I’m relieved. I’m really afraid of implicating you. I come from a bad background, and life’s so suffering that living has no meaning. Just let me die." Caroline Sloan acted as if she was about to jump again.

At this moment, Hayden’s cold voice came from behind, "My patience is limited. If you insist on jumping, I will respect your decision. I will have someone collect your body."

"..." Caroline Sloan stood frozen on the balcony, chaotic in the wind.

The tear marks on her face were dried by such a big wind. Now she felt extremely awkward, unable to jump or not to jump, not knowing how her absolute dominant situation of staging a jumping scene became so embarrassing.

Serena Sterling observed coldly from the side without speaking.

Caroline Sloan wouldn’t jump; that’s a mutual understanding between her and Hayden Crawford. Now that Caroline had set the stage for the drama, Hayden refused to follow her script, completely confusing her.

At this moment, Father and Mother Sloan quickly said, "Lillian, come down. Deep love means stern reproach. This gentleman was just too worried about you, that’s why he said such words. It’s dangerous up there, come down quickly."

"Yes, Lillian, your father and mother understand that you don’t want to be with Hugo Woods. That’s okay, your father and mother agree. I see this gentleman is quite good. In the future, let him take care of you."

Father and Mother Sloan directly clung onto Hayden Crawford, wishing to push Caroline Sloan onto Hayden’s bed.

Caroline Sloan stared pitifully at Hayden Crawford with red, tearful eyes. Then she moved and came down from the balcony.

"Big brother, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I was being unreasonable this time..." Caroline Sloan walked up to Hayden Crawford and began to apologize, but before she could finish, her eyes closed, and she fainted weakly.

Caroline Sloan’s fragile body fell directly toward Hayden Crawford’s chest.

Hayden extended his hand, not to catch her but to directly push her over to Corvus.

Corvus caught Caroline Sloan, then carried her horizontally, "Miss Sloan, it’s me. I will carry you."

Caroline Sloan, having fainted, twitched at the corner of her forehead, "..."

...

Father and Mother Sloan arrived at Hayden Crawford’s villa, gaping like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden for the first time in awe.

Due to a lack of vocabulary, they exclaimed all the way with "Wow, wow, wow,"

Oh my, this villa is huge and must be worth a fortune.

This vase I saw on TV, it seems like a priceless antique.

This sofa is so soft, I feel like lying here for a nap.

At this moment, a maid in the living room gently reminded them, "Sir doesn’t like people moving his things, so..."

"You wretched thing! You’re just a lowly servant, and yet you dare to instruct us? Do you know who we are?" Mother Sloan revealed her fierce side, scolding and spitting saliva everywhere.
