Caroline was taken aback, but soon she understood.It was not unusual for children to hold grudges against their mothers and refuse to acknowledge them.Putting Axel down, Caroline smiled and said, "Okay, I'll believe whatever you say. Now, go back to the kindergarten and wait for your father to pick you up, alright?"Caroline knew exactly whom Axel resented, but she didn't want to involve the child in any petty issues.Despite everything, she couldn't help but feel a strange affection for Axel. Her heart softened toward him, and she didn't push him away.Axel had promised Tyler not to trouble Caroline, so he could only give her a longing look before heading back into the kindergarten.After class, Caroline picked up her children and got into the car.However, she wanted to wait for Evan before leaving.Liora pointed in Evan's direction, but Tyler quickly covered her mouth to stop her from speaking.Confused, Caroline looked at them through the rearview mirror and asked, "What
Grayson's lips twitched, and he spoke firmly. "I'm sure it's not Ella. She's kind, gentle, and considerate. She would never hit kids."Evan anticipated Grayson's response and motioned to Reuben, who played a video.The video showed Daniella hitting Axel hard with a rolled-up magazine before the maid and nanny in the living room.Grayson's heart skipped a beat as he witnessed her actions and saw her hideous face."Do you still want to defend her?" Evan's face turned ferocious, and he strongly wanted to harm Daniella.Grayson knew letting her off easily wouldn't be right.His face grew stern, and he pushed Reuben away, walking up to Daniella.Without saying a word, Grayson slapped her twice, his anger evident.Daniella was already feeling dizzy. She staggered from the force of the slaps, looking at Grayson in disbelief. Her voice trembled as she said, "Grand... Grandpa?"Grayson barked, "How berserk! He's your son!"Overwhelmed with emotions, Daniella pleaded, "Grandpa, I made
Caroline was puzzled by Tyler's words and said in a daze, "Yeah, I know.""Mommy, did you know that Axel isn't the wicked woman's son?" Tyler shared some shocking news.Caroline's mind went blank. 'What does he mean he's not her son? Wasn't Daniella pregnant at that time?' she thought.Caroline asked with a frown, "Ty, what do you know?"Tyler's face lit up with a smile. "Mommy, why don't you do a maternity test with Axel?"Caroline's breathing became chaotic. 'Why should I do that? What do they know? What are they keeping from me? Didn't my first child die in childbirth?'Caroline felt nervous, and her eyes turned red.She pointed toward Axe with a trembling hand, her voice hoarse. "Are you my child?"She couldn't bring herself to acknowledge him.After five years, she finally started healing from the pain of losing her child. Now, her children were telling her that her other child was right before her.She felt like she was in a dream and couldn't gather her thoughts.Caro
Why did they treat this child so poorly?Axel was unlike children his age, lacking their childish innocence.Caroline's eyes welled with red, intensifying her hatred for Daniella.Neil gently touched Axel's face. "Axel, we all love you very much. We'll gradually make it up to you for the things you've been missing. Now, I'd like to give you a ride back to Villa Rosa. Is that okay?""Neil!" Caroline was agitated. "Don't send him back! I don't want him to return to that cold family."Neil sighed. "Carol, this isn't the time to act irrationally. Axel has to go back. If not, Evan might grow suspicious. He won't harm you, but can you guarantee the Jordan family won't?"Tyler's eyes narrowed upon hearing Neil's words.'I still need to resolve two matters, and now I have another issue to deal with. How much did my poor mommy suffer even before I was born?' Tyler thought.Tyler felt sorry for Caroline once again.Suddenly, Liora burst into tears. "Mommy... Is Axel my older brother or
Neil gave Axel a ride back to Villa Rosa and asked him, "Axel, do you blame me for not letting you stay?"Axel obediently replied, "No, I don't. I'm already content to be reunited with Mommy."He didn't want to cause any trouble for Caroline and felt he could keep an eye on Evan better if he stayed at Villa Rosa.As long as Caroline refused to reunite with Evan, Axel was determined to intervene and prevent any harm.He was willing to do anything Caroline asked of him.After a brief silence, Neil said, "Axel, your mother and I are left with no other options. We can't disclose much to you. But you must believe that we care about you deeply."Axel couldn't contain his happiness, realizing how much his mother truly cared for him.At the same time, he couldn't help but be curious about the situation between Evan and Caroline.*Evan returned home after Axel, who was visibly frightened by something.'Did Daddy find out that I went out?' he wondered.The fear on Axel's face took Ev
Paige couldn't help but imagine the melodramatic scenario of Evan trying to win back Caroline's favor after reading her reply.'Boss, what you've endured in the past five years is merely a minor ache. The real agony is yet to come…' Paige thought.*On Thursday, Caroline and Kenny bought a clothing factory. They retained the existing technical support and invested in new equipment.Back at the company, Kenny's secretary collected resumes from job applicants, especially elite candidates. These resumes were then handed to Caroline and Kenny.Later that day, they appointed managers for certain departments and held the first high-level meeting for TYC Fashion. Caroline finalized the fashion brand's positioning and initial sales channel with the managers.After the meeting, Caroline was busy discussing the direction of the first clothing design with the design department in the conference room.Meanwhile, Evan stood smoking by the French window at MK.Reuben noticed and commented, "
Axel gazed at the Legos in silence. "Can you include me?""Of course!" Tyler eagerly desired to work with his brother on that extensive investigation. How thrilling!Axel inquired, "And how about you? Who taught you?"Tyler replied, "No one. I learned it on my own. I'm skilled at investigating people."Axel nodded. "Then you should start looking into Daniella and her acquaintances. I'll handle the damaged files."Liora appeared unhappy, pouting. "What are you whispering about? You're not playing with me.""We're coming!" The two boys chimed in simultaneously.*At night, Tyler avoided Caroline and sat down before the laptop to investigate everyone associated with Daniella.After an hour, he found a few individuals and sent the document to Axel, who had been waiting expectantly.Upon receiving the document, Axel activated an emulator and entered the software code he had previously installed on Daniella's phone.He began his work—he needed other people's information for accura
Caroline coughed lightly and said, "Let's get into the car, Scott."Scott nodded and picked up his luggage. Suddenly, he heard a distant scream out of the blue."Doctor Wilson?"It was Reuben.Caroline tensed. Scott noticed her reaction and frowned.Scott turned to look at Reuben and saw Evan standing before the car, wearing a gloomy expression.Scott greeted them with a light smile. "It's been a while, Mr. Jordan, Reuben."Evan's gaze fixated on Caroline, and he seemed to be scrutinizing her while narrowing his eyes.Reacting to the situation, Scott pulled Caroline into his arms. "Mr. Jordan, I'll leave with my girlfriend now.""Wait," Evan demanded coldly.Sensing the tension, Caroline hugged Scott tightly and said, "Dear, is he your friend? You guys can catch up next time. I'm starving right now. Let's grab a bite, okay?"Her coquettish tone caught Evan off guard, and even Reuben looked shocked.Scott nodded politely. "Mr. Jordan, my girlfriend isn't happy. We'll go now.
