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.
Upon returning home, Lily was thrilled to see Scott and enthusiastically prepared a feast for him.Scott rolled up his sleeves to help in the kitchen. Caroline wanted to lend a hand too, but Scott insisted she stay out of it.Before dinner, Scott took the children to wash their hands while Lily carried the dishes out. As they settled in, Lily addressed Caroline, "Carol, I know it's not my place, but I've observed things over the years, and I feel I should remind you. Doctor Wilson is caring and attentive, especially to the kids. Considering him might be best for their sake."Caroline fell silent momentarily. "Lily, I still need to sort things out. I don't want to burden Scott."Lily reassured her, "Doctor Wilson knows that too, but he's willing to support you regardless. You need someone to share the pressure."Caroline looked down. "I already owe him so much...""Then why not give him a chance? You don't have to shut yourself off from happiness," Lily urged.Caroline glanced
Caroline was stunned. "You did this for the children?""Yes." Scott did not deny it. "Since you won't let me share the stress of your life, I can only help out more with the children."Caroline's heart felt warm and content. While her feelings for Scott weren't strong, he seemed like the best choice to be her husband and the father of her children.Caroline said sincerely, "Thank you."Scott chuckled. "You know I don't like you saying 'thank you' because it'll make us seem like strangers. In addition, I'm doing this voluntarily."Scott took a sip of juice. "When is Axel coming?""Tomorrow." Caroline said, "I'll bring him over."Scott paused for a moment before he said, "I'll go. It would be best for you not to go to Villa Rosa now."Caroline shook her head. "I want to keep my promise to the child. Moreover, the child doesn't know you, so I'm worried he might resist you."Scott relented. "I shall come over earlier tomorrow, then.""Sure."*Caroline wore her shades and heade
