Caroline picked up the call hastily. "Hello?"Alice said, "Will you please come to the school now, you Ms. Shenton? This is the situation. Liora got into a fight with a boy, and she scratched his face."Caroline's heart was racing. "How about Liora? How is she?"Alice said, "Liora is fine. Don't worry."Caroline said, "I'm coming over now."After ending the call, Caroline hurried to the kindergarten, which was just a 15-minute car ride away from her company.Swiftly, she went to the teacher's office, where she immediately heard a woman's scolding voice at the entrance."What sort of student do you enroll in your school? How could you enroll such an uncultured child? I demand a justification for this incident and want compensation from her parent!"Mockingly, she muttered, "Fatherless bastards!"Caroline walked into the office with a cold expression and clenched fists.A slightly chubby woman sat on the sofa, holding her son overbearingly. The boy's face bore two bloody scratc
The chubby woman grunted, "Compensate with money then! I'm not asking for much, just 700,000 dollars! I won't accept a penny less!"Caroline smiled and replied, "It's not expensive to address a child's emotional trauma with 700,000 dollars."The chubby woman was astonished and asked, "Can you afford it?"Caroline confidently said, "Yes, of course. However, should we consider the emotional trauma my child endured?"The chubby woman's expression changed drastically, "Your child is fine. Why should we even consider it?"Caroline looked at the surveillance camera in the office and calmly said, "Shall we review the footage? I recall you scolding my children earlier, calling them fatherless bastards. Words hurt more than physical violence. I'm not asking for much, either. One million dollars to compensate for my two children's emotional trauma."The chubby woman stood up and scolded, "Your child bullied mine first, and now you want to blame me?""I shall settle the score with you then
Caroline sneered and bent over, firmly holding her two children's hands. "There are many people who look similar to each other in this world. Please don't ask these questions anymore in the future!"She circled past Evan, still clutching her children's hands, and walked away.Evan's eyes were cold and stern as he watched the three figures depart. He was convinced that the woman was Caroline, even if she refused to acknowledge it!However, he didn't have the courage to remove her shades, fearing he might find a stranger's face.Caroline swiftly made her way to her car with the children outside the academic building. But as she started the engine, she kept shifting the gears wrongly.Liora frowned and asked, "What's going on with you, Mommy? Why are you shaking? Is that man your friend?"Caroline replied in an uneasy tone, "He's not my friend! I'm not acquainted with him!"Tyler raised an eyebrow, thinking, 'Why would Mommy be so anxious if she's not acquainted with him?'He deci
Caroline glanced at Lily and said, "I think he'll recognize me soon."Lily asked in astonishment, "You mean Mr. Jordan?"Caroline nodded, recounting the incident at the kindergarten earlier that day.Lily sighed. "It's inevitable, Carol. Maybe it's not such a bad thing for him to find out."Caroline was deeply concerned. "I worry he'll stop me from seeking revenge. After all, Daniella is his child's biological mother.""Don't see it that way," Lily said, guiding Caroline to sit down. "I told you before, Mr. Jordan was heartbroken in the past. If he cares for you, he'll support you and be on your side."Caroline fell silent, unable to let go of the past incident when Evan doubted her and attempted to take her children away. Those two issues still haunted her.Trying to change the subject, Caroline said, "I'm hungry, Ms. Smith. What's for dinner?"Lily smiled helplessly.*On Wednesday, Kenny and his team arrived in Angelbay City.Caroline had arranged a bus to pick them up fr
Axel tightly clutched his top, offering no response to Liora's remark. He didn't want them to see how Daniella treated him.Seeing that Axel remained silent, Liora came up with another idea. "It seems you don't want to be friends with me. I shouldn't have helped you if that's the case!"Tyler suppressed a smile as he observed Liora skillfully provoking Axel.For a brief moment, guilt and panic flickered in Axel's eyes. "Villa Rosa. You can come on Saturday."Liora sweetly smiled and extended her little finger toward Axel. "It's a playdate then. We're coming to you on Saturday!"The sight of her finger stunned Axel. He anxiously clenched his fist before slowly making a pinky promise with Liora.*During the night, Reuben shared the investigation's findings with Evan. One folder contained information about preschool students' parents, while the other was dedicated to Caroline.Upon reading Caroline's folder, Evan frowned. "Carolyn Shenton?"Reuben confirmed, "Yes, her name is Ca
Liora changed her clothes excitedly but felt uncertain about going out after washing up and heading downstairs.She frowned at Tyler and asked, "Tyler, will we get into trouble if Mommy notices?"Tyler glanced at her while putting on his shoes. "Do you want to find out if he is our father?""Yes!" Liora replied immediately. Then, she hesitated and added, "However, Mommy told us that Daddy has turned into soil."Tyler stood up after tying his shoes. "If you're scared to go, you can stay home and cover for me.""No! I'm scared to be alone!" Liora quickly put on her shoes and held onto Tyler's top.Tyler gently caressed Liora's head. "Don't worry. Mommy will probably punish me first."Liora nodded, and they headed to Villa Rosa.Twenty minutes later, the two children arrived at Villa Rosa. The security guard led them to Evan's villa, probably informed by Axel in advance.Axel was already waiting outside. Liora rushed over to him with enthusiasm. "Tyler and I are here, Axel!"Anx
Axel turned to look at Daniella, then hurriedly jumped off the sofa and followed her.Upon reaching the second floor, Daniella realized Axel was following her.Glaring at Axel in disgust, she asked, "Why are you following me?"Axel feared her reaction and clenched his fists tightly. "I'm going back to my room."Daniella shouted, "If you want to go to your room, don't walk around like a ghost!"Her outburst startled the two children in the room.Liora was taken aback. "There's a woman shouting outside. Is that Axel's Mommy? She sounds really fierce. Will she come in here?"Tyler looked at the door and calmly ordered, "Lock the door.""It's going to make a sound," Liora said fearfully, her face scrunching up."It won't," Tyler replied while typing on the keyboard. "It's a silent lock. Just lock it."He needed a few more minutes to crack Axel's software password to verify if they shared the same hobby. He was willing to take the risk rather than let his effort go to waste.Lior
Tyler believed the woman outside was the scumbag's fiancée and not Axel's biological mother. His expression turned solemn, and he said softly, "Sure, I'll help him! But we can't go out now. Axel might get hurt even more."Aware they couldn't take on an adult physically, they needed to find another way to assist Axel.Tyler pulled out his tablet, logged into an app, and sent an email to Evan with a fake ID.*As Evan got into a car outside Angelbay Airport, his phone vibrated, and he received an anonymous email.Puzzled, he opened it to find a simple message: [Evan Jordan! Your son is being beaten up by his mother!]Stunned by the message, Evan replied: [Who are you?]Tyler: [Don't worry about who I am. Go back to Villa Rose to check if you don't believe me!]Tyler was shocked by how Evan was concerned about his identity. 'The scumbag's mindset is different,' Tyler thought.Even if Evan was proven to be their biological father, Tyler wouldn't accept him—a man incapable of und
