Female Novel
Chapter 80 Caylee's Gif
Horace, accompanied by Laila and Macie, arrived at the Rinas Infirmary about thirty minutes later.
The first thing they heard was Cara's ecstatic voice when they entered the ward. "Mr. Warren, you are
finally back. I've been waiting for you since noon. I haven't had lunch yet because I hoped you would
get back soon. What took you so long?" She pouted as she spoke.
"What? Horace, is this your mistress?" Macie asked him loudly with her eyebrows raised.
"Shut up, Macie. Stop talking nonsense. If you try to tarnish someone's image, you would get beat up!
This young lady is my mother's personal nurse!" Horace shot Macie an icy glare. Such words normally
didn't get to him. He only set the record straight because he was in a relationship with Laila now. He
didn't want her to see him as a cheat. Afterward, he looked at Cara. "You haven't eaten yet? What
about my mother?"
Cara's well-being was the least of his worries. He only cared about his mother.
Cara was sad after hearing Horace's statement. Instead of answering his question, she thought, 'I don't
mind if my image is tarnished. I just want you. It's rather unfortunate that you have turned a blind eye to
my seductive gestures. Your heart is closed off to me. Humph!'
Slight pain tugged at Cara's heartstrings at this moment. She noticed the two young ladies behindnovelbin
Horace. 'Who are these women? Did Mr. Warren start taking interest in the opposite sex? I'm surprised
he brought them here. Does this mean that the perfect opportunity to win his heart has come? God,
please don't let my future efforts be in vain!'
As soon as she finished saying that prayer, she finally responded to Horace, "Mr. Warren, there's no
need to get worried. I already made sure your mother had a healthy and sumptuous lunch. Everything
is fine."
"Okay!" Nodding his head, Horace added, "Good job!"
As a reward for her diligence, he transferred another ten thousand dollars to her.
"Wow! I just got a bank alert. Thank you, Mr. Warren!" Cara was elated when the bank alert popped up
on her cellphone screen. She cupped her hands and thanked him immediately. The new sum came as
a surprise to her. After all, she had only been on the job for a few days.
'Oh my! This is awesome. Would I get paid ten thousand dollars daily? If so, my life will change for the
better!' At the thought of this, a bright smile appeared on Cara's face. Money was what she loved the
most. It could wipe away any grievance she felt.
"Good evening, ma'am. Nice to meet you." It was at this moment that Laila and Macie finally greeted
Caylee who was lying on the bed.
Horace's attention diverted from Cara to his mother. He greeted her and then pointed to Laila.
"Mom, this is my new girlfriend. Her name is Laila Tran. Isn't she cute?" he explained when he saw the
confused expression on his mother's face.
This statement dropped like a bombshell for Cara. Her eyes widened in an instant. She felt a pang of
pain in her heart and had a lump in her throat. 'Oh my God! No, no, no! Mr. Warren already has a
girlfriend. Such a powerful man has a girlfriend. But he was single yesterday. It's a slap in my face that
this ordinary girl won his heart before me. My heart hurts badly!'
Cara's lamentation only lasted for a short time. She tried to stay calm and advised herself, 'All hope is
not lost yet. She's just his girlfriend. They are not married yet. There's nothing to be sad about. I can
still seduce him. Besides, even if they get married, I can be Mr. Warren's secret lover! No, that's not the
best option. Sharing isn't always rosy. I have to work hard and win his heart over as soon as possible!'
Oblivious to the plan that Cara was concocting in her mind, Horace pointed at Macie and said, "Mom,
this is Laila's roommate and my former classmate, Macie Ramos!"
"Nice to meet you, girls!" Caylee nodded with a smile. She then turned to look at Laila. "Wow! What a
beautiful and cute girl! Good job, Horace. I like your new girlfriend very much!"
She gestured at Laila with her frail hand. "Come here, kid!" she said.
Laila's heart was filled with joy when she heard this command. Previously, she had been afraid that
Horace's mother wouldn't like her. She thanked her lucky stars that Caylee was actually an easygoing
and nice woman.
Fiddling her fingers, she walked up to Caylee's bedside obediently. It was as if she was meeting her
mother-in-law for the first time, so she was cautious to make a good impression.
It took Caylee only a second to notice Laila's nervousness. She stroked her hair and smiled at her.
"You are such a lovely child. Horace should count himself lucky to have you as his girlfriend."
"Thanks for the compliment, ma'am. I'm flattered. I'm also lucky to have Horace as my boyfriend. You
raised a well-mannered young man."
"Aww! You are not only lovely, but also articulate." Caylee gave her hair a final stroke. She then put her
right hand under her pillow slowly.
Cara stared daggers at Laila when she saw how Caylee treated her. She knew what was under the
pillow. There lay all kinds of gifts from the top ten billionaires in the city. These items were precious
jewels and each was worth more than ten million dollars.
Under everyone's gaze, Caylee took out a pink diamond that was the size of a baby's fist.
At the sight of the diamond, Cara almost fainted. She vividly remembered that it was a gift from Dario.
A few days after Horace had dinner with the cadres of the Warren family in Rinas, they all visited
Caylee at the hospital.
Just like Farris, the others came bearing expensive gifts. Dario had brought the pink diamond Caylee
was currently holding. It was a 50.2-carat natural diamond.
Cara had been drawn by its brightness. She couldn't help asking Cathy how much it was worth. The
response she got was still imprinted in her mind. "Well, diamonds above fifty carats are rarely used to
make jewelry. This one is a loose diamond. I remember at an auction I attended, a 50-carat diamond
was sold for three hundred and fifty million dollars!"
This simply meant that the pink diamond in Caylee's hand was worth a little bit more than three
hundred and fifty million dollars!
'Oh, Madam Potter. I have taken care of you and kept you company for so long, but you have never
given me anything. Mr. Warren just found a new girlfriend. This is your first time meeting her. You
haven't even known her for more than five minutes, but you are about to give her this expensive
diamond without a second thought. It's not fair! No, I can't take this anymore. I must win Mr. Warren's
heart by hook or by crook. He would be head over heels in love with me soon. At that time, Madam
Potter would give me all her jewels!'
Strong determination filled Cara's heart as she stared at the pink diamond. She was out to snatch
Horace away from Laila.
"Kid, take it. This is a welcome gift to you since this is our first meeting." With a bright smile, Caylee
stretched out her hand to Laila.
'Is... Is this a diamond?' Macie couldn't believe her eyes. She blinked repeatedly to make sure it was
indeed a diamond. 'Oh my days! What kind of family did Horace come from? He's filthy rich, but he
pretended to be poor for three years. He was such a great actor that no one ever smelled something
fishy. Not only that, but he also put up with the constant bullying. Some secrets were only exposed
today. Even the big shots in Rinas hold him in high esteem! More so, his mother looks like an ordinary
frail woman, but she wants to give Laila a large pink diamond as a gift! Who the hell are these people?'
she pondered.
