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
Evan approached Daniella with hostility, causing her to turn pale with fear.'Isn't he supposed to be on a business trip? Why is he back so soon?' Daniella thought, backing away in fear."E-Evan, I can explain— Urgh!"Before Daniella could finish her sentence, Evan abruptly grabbed her by her throat."Are you tired of being alive, Daniella?" Evan roared. "I spared you because you're Axel's mother! I never expected you to be so cruel! He's only five years old, and you're hurting him! How could you do this?"Daniella's face turned red from the lack of air. She wanted to explain herself but couldn't make a sound in Evan's grip.Evan finally released his hold when her face turned pale and her eyes rolled backward.After catching her breath, Daniella coughed profusely and collapsed to the ground weakly. It took her a while to recover enough strength to speak.She looked at Evan through tears and said, "Axel is my child, Evan. How could I ever hurt him? I accidentally knocked him ove
Caroline felt utterly ashamed.Being occupied with work for the past five years, she hadn't paid much attention to her children. As a result, she didn't even know they had social network accounts.Rubbing her nose, Caroline asked, "Kenny, are you friends with Ty?""Yes," Kenny replied, pulling out his phone and showing Tyler's chat history before handing it to Caroline.Caroline sent a message: [Where are you, Ty? Reply 'Mommy' if you see this!]After sending the message, Caroline grabbed her car keys.She looked at Lily, who seemed guilty and anxious, and said reassuringly, "I'm going to the police station, Ms. Smith. Don't worry."Lily's eyes were red with tears. "It's my fault for not watching the two children, Carol.""It's not your fault, Ms. Smith," Caroline said. "The children have minds of their own. I'll just check on their location."Turning to Kenny, she added, "Stay with Ms. Smith, Kenny."Kenny replied, "You go. I'll be here."*At Villa Rosa.Four people were
Liora leaped off the sofa, preparing to run to Tyler.However, Evan quickly grabbed her arm and said firmly, "I'll give you a ride."Tyler politely declined, taking Liora's hand, and said, "It's okay, sir. We can go home by ourselves."Evan stared at him coldly, insisting, "It's not safe.""We'll be just fine," Tyler calmly reassured. "Please don't worry, sir."Evan narrowed his eyes and retorted, "Since you're so capable, I won't give you a ride."Tyler and Liora said goodbye to Axel and left. He silently watched them go.*At the police station.Caroline was still checking traffic surveillance footage when she saw the children getting out of the cab at Villa Rosa. She was terrified, wondering why they had gone to such a dangerous place.Caroline hesitated but eventually decided to pick up the children herself, believing Evan wasn't home at that time.As she was about to get into her car, she received a call from an unknown number.Caroline quickly answered, and to her sur
