Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Causing a Stir in the Courtroom (4)

Between the two of them, it was naturally unfair.

"Please have a seat, Miss Jin." Carolline Ruiz snapped back to reality and beckoned Phoebe Miller, "What would you like to drink? Is flower tea okay?"

"Just plain water, please. I don’t like any other beverages besides water right now." Phoebe Miller sat down, smiling gently.

"Alright." Carolline Ruiz went to pour plain water. She didn’t know why she was nervous, but her hand trembled, and the water splashed out of the not-yet-full cup.

Having finally managed to bring the water over, Carolline Ruiz placed it in front of Phoebe Miller. Faced with such a woman, Carolline Ruiz — too ordinary in comparison — would find it difficult not to be nervous.

"Thank you, Carolline Ruiz. May I call you Carolline?" Phoebe Miller’s soft voice resounded, like a heavenly melody.

"Yes, of course," Carolline Ruiz nodded.

"Then move closer. You must be smart enough to know why I came here, right?" Phoebe Miller didn’t try to hide her purpose, and she thought Carolline Ruiz would cooperate, knowing it as well.

"Yes," Carolline Ruiz lightly responded. The Phoebe Miller in the video was already dazzling. Seeing her in person was even more breathtaking. Carolline Ruiz felt that she couldn’t look her directly in the eye. Such a woman was meant to be admired.

"Carolline, do I look very scary?" Phoebe Miller suddenly asked.

Carolline Ruiz looked at her in surprise. If someone as beautiful as Phoebe Miller was scary, then she might as well not go out.

Phoebe Miller let out a small laugh and said with a sigh of relief, "You finally looked at me."

Carolline Ruiz also sighed in relief, not expecting Phoebe Miller to be so playful. No wonder that man said she was his most unforgettable love. That statement was true, as Carolline believed Phoebe Miller was worthy of such consideration.

"Actually, I just came to see you. I’m not here to show off or steal your man. My past relationship with him is long gone. I was just curious about the type of woman he’d marry. I think it should be the most wonderful woman in the world, and after seeing you, I can finally rest assured," Phoebe Miller said sincerely.

Phoebe Miller noticed Carolline’s character charm through Charlotte Clark’s excellent judgment, and genuinely felt relieved."

A woman who is willing to help someone else’s child must not be too bad.

Carolline, still looking stunned, asked, "Is Phoebe saying I’m good? I don’t think so."

"Are you going to ask me anything? I’m meeting your husband this afternoon. Will you be jealous?" Phoebe Miller looked at Carolline’s confused expression and smiled. Carolline seemed like an innocent young girl who needed protection, yet she was already the mother of a five-year-old child.

Women who become mothers are happy ones.

"Not at all," Carolline Ruiz shook her head. She genuinely wouldn’t be jealous. Perhaps she would have been before meeting Phoebe Miller, but now she felt that Phoebe was like a gentle breeze — so warm and comforting, just perfect.

Phoebe Miller beamed, "So, what do you want to ask me?"

"Did you give up on him because you couldn’t have children?" Carolline still felt bothered by what Charlotte had told her. If that really was the reason, she couldn’t enjoy her happiness guilt-free.

"Where did you hear that from?" Phoebe Miller didn’t seem too affected, and without waiting for Carolline to respond, she earnestly answered her question, "I can’t have children. I knew that after growing up. But I still fell in love with him. I’m working in my current field because I had dreams since childhood, which were probably due to watching related programs and news. He, on the other hand, is devoted to expanding the Hawkins Family business. He values family, while I don’t place as much importance on it. That’s the ultimate reason we went our separate ways. I think, even if we had reluctantly married then, neither of us would have been happy."
