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
Caroline went upstairs and entered the study to access her laptop's encrypted files.Inside were DNA test reports for her, Daniella, and Neil, along with evidence of Danielle's false identity discovered by Neil. The most crucial item was the video call where Daniella and Nicholas colluded.Caroline had Nicholas to thank for storing this evidence due to his unique hobby. She planned to gauge Daniella's reaction in two and a half months.However, one doubt lingered in Caroline's mind. There seemed to be someone who had concealed the evidence of Daniella's murder years ago, as well as facilitated the child swap.Caroline deduced that Danielle aimed to keep the Xanders and Jordans in the dark about this. The question remained: who was the person assisting her?Lost in thought, Caroline stood up, walked to the window, and sipped her drink.Unbeknownst to her, Julian had already snapped her photo from the opposite building the moment she revealed her face. *Evan was on a business t
Liora quickly moved and blocked the stairs before Caroline could reply. Her chubby cheeks were puffed in anger as she said, "Why are you taking my mommy, Mr. Police Officer?"Tyler and Axel joined them, both stern-faced.Tyler's voice was icy. "You can't take her without a reason."Axel's tone matched. "Tell us the reason."The three kids eyed the officers with hostility. They defended their mother, afraid she would be taken away.Scott and Caroline, though, were unusually composed. They exchanged a glance and worked together.Scott soothed the children while Caroline descended the stairs calmly. She approached the officers and asked, "I can go with you, but could you please explain what I've done wrong?"The lead officer replied, "Someone reported you as a murderer who faked death to escape prison.""Mommy's not a murderer! This is crazy!" Liora yelled, breaking free from Scott's grip and clutching Caroline's thigh."Child, please let the police do their job. We'll investigat
Caroline sat in the police station and looked at the detectives, Ross Webb and Wendy Walsh, seated opposite her calmly.Ross and Wendy had already interrogated her for an hour, yet they refused to let her leave despite not having substantial evidence.Caroline missed her children, so she said, "Is there anything else?""I'm sorry, but we can't let you go yet," Wendy said sternly. Caroline looked toward them nonchalantly. "You've interrogated me thoroughly. What else is there to suspect?"Five years ago, Neil created a false identity for her. He had asked a friend abroad to carefully organize Carolyn Shenton's background from childhood to now.This is why Caroline could remain so composed being here.Ross spent a long time carefully reviewing the information and records. After confirming that everything was flawless, he talked to Wendy about it."There is no issue except for the similar appearance. Release her then," he suggested."Have you forgotten something?" Wendy asked.
Shortly after, Wendy exclaimed, "Chief Dunn?"Caroline turned to follow Wendy's gaze. A slightly chubby middle-aged man stood there, visibly anxious. However, the handsome man with him caught Caroline's full attention.Caroline's eyes widened, and she clenched her fists as their eyes locked.'Why is Evan here? Wasn't he on a business trip?' she thought.Fabian Dunn frowned at Wendy and asked, "What's going on, Walsh? Why hasn't she been released yet?"Wendy explained, "Chief, this person looks exactly like the murderer who died while giving birth...""What do you mean 'exactly'?!" Fabian berated, annoyed. "He's Mr. Jordan's girlfriend! This is nonsense!"Wendy gazed at Evan in confusion, then turned to Fabian. "Chief Dunn, the murderer named Caroline Shenton was once associated with Mr. Jordan too. Aren't you concerned that he's defending a murderer?" she spoke firmly."Show me proof!" Fabian's anger flared.Reluctantly, Wendy handed over the blood test report. "Her blood type
