Reuben walked into Evan's office and reported, "Mr. Jordan, the businessman from Flortine is coming to Angelbay tonight. Would you like to meet him?"Evan looked up and asked, "What brings him to Angelbay?""He claimed that he is coming to consult an outstanding surgeon from Angelbay Hospital to treat his son's tumor.""Look into the doctor that he wants to consult.""Yes, sir."Reuben was getting ready to leave when Evan asked, "Any news on the paternity test?""I've already arranged for someone to speed up the test results. You should have them in three days," Reuben replied. "Noted. You may leave." Evan looked at the computer screen once again. At the same time, his phone rang. An email response from G appeared, so Evan opened his email inbox.G: [Please consider looking at other candidates, as my abilities are limited.]Evan sneered.Evan: [If I understand correctly, you decided not to join MK because you've opted to join someone else, correct?]While assisting Caroli
Caroline headed straight back to Bayview Villa after work to help Kenny with the move.Kenny hurried over as soon as she walked in. "Hey, where are the kids, G?"Caroline replied, "They're at Evan's. Complicated story. Let's move your stuff now, and we'll chat later."Noticing Caroline's reluctance, Kenny didn't pry.After they finished unpacking, Caroline ordered some food delivery.Ten minutes later, a knock sounded at the door.Caroline moved to answer, but Kenny intervened. "I'll handle it."He jogged to the foyer, opening the door to reveal the man. It was just as he had planned!Evan's expression turned solemn when he saw Kenny. "Why are you—""Uncle Kenny!"Liora stuck out her head from behind Evan before he could speak. Kenny's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hands to pick up Liora. "Lia! I missed you so much! Where did you and Ty go? I have good news for you. We will be living together and get to see each other every day!"Kenny's remark sounded harsh to Eva
"Kenny, take the children to play in the living room," Caroline said.Kenny was about to nod when he saw the tiny figure behind Evan."Who's that?" Kenny asked. Caroline followed Kenny's gaze and spotted Axel standing quietly behind Evan. Axel's head was slightly peeking out.Caroline quickly stepped forward and said, "Axel?"Axel obediently took a step closer, responding with a soft, "Hmm."Feeling a sense of compassion, Caroline gently lifted Axel. "Come along with me."She then looked at Evan, saying, "My house isn't big, but you're welcome to come in."Evan walked confidently into the villa and headed straight for Kenny. His cold, hostile eyes sent shivers down Kenny's spine.Nervously, Kenny held Liora while gripping Tyler's hand, all behind Evan.Evan sat on the sofa, scanned the surroundings, and asked, "Is Ms. Smith here?"Setting Axel down, Caroline replied, "Ms. Smith is at the hospital."Evan's brow furrowed. "Hospital?""Yes." Caroline nodded sadly. "She was b
Caroline held a meeting with the production team in the afternoon. They estimated they could finish the first batch of clothes after ten days.This duration had exceeded Caroline's expectations.She reminded the head of the production team, "The production speed is important, but there aren't many workers in the factory now. Please, don't make them work overtime." She would not blindly pursue speed. She wanted nothing but the quality of the clothes and her employees' physical and mental health.The head of the production team replied, "Understood, Ms. Shenton. I'll obey your rule and let them get off work on time. The factory won't operate at night."Caroline nodded. She then said to Naomi Lynch, the recently promoted secretary, "Naomi, order the security department to keep an eye on the factory. Ask them to be on guard."Naomi was a woman in her early 30s. Her short hair made her look very capable. Caroline had chosen her because her serious facial features made Caroline reca
Caroline and Evan entered the hospital, both feeling calmer. They rode the elevator to the top floor.As the elevator doors opened, Caroline's surprise grew. It was like a spacious apartment up there, divided into five rooms by transparent glass. Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the space filled with flowers and trees. It felt cozy, more like a vacation spot than a hospital.However, it was nothing like a typical hospital scene. It felt more like a holiday retreat.Caroline's attention shifted to the doctors, her gaze fixed on them as she observed the rooms. Her eyes landed on Lily, lying in a bed with a respirator.Filled with relief upon hearing the steady sounds of the medical equipment, Caroline found some comfort.The doctor, who had been noting down information about Lily, turned to face Evan. With respect, he bowed and began explaining the situation to Evan in fluent Spanish.Meanwhile, the doctor's expression displayed a mix of confusion and dissatisfaction.Caroline o
"Sure," Caroline agreed with a happy smile.After chatting with the three children, Caroline stood up and left the hospital.Someone suddenly collided with her as she approached the exit and was about to hail a cab.This unexpected impact caused her to stagger a few steps before regaining her balance. However, the person who bumped into her fell to the ground heavily.Turning around, Caroline saw a woman wearing a long sleeping robe who appeared to be in a sorry state.Caroline could still make out the woman's delicate facial features despite her messy hair. The woman's eyes, though, were filled with fear and panic."I... I'm so sorry…" Jamie Weiss' voice trembled, and her eyes turned red.Caroline shook her head reassuringly. "I'm fine. Are you okay?"As she spoke, she extended her hand toward Jamie. "The ground is cold. Let me help you up."Unexpectedly, Jamie shuddered vigorously at Caroline's offer, leaving her a bit puzzled."Do you need assistance?" Caroline inquired on
After Caroline tended to Jamie's wound, she brought a set of clean clothes for the latter.When Kenny led Jamie to eat, Caroline called Axel."Mommy!" It was Liora who picked up the call. "Mommy, do you miss my brothers and me again?" Caroline smiled. "Yeah, but there's something else. Lia, can you let Ty talk on the phone?" Liora shouted, "Tyler, Mommy's calling you!"Soon, Tyler was on the phone. "Mommy, what can I help you with?"Caroline glanced at Jamie, who was eating in the dining room. "Ty, can you help me look into a person's profile?"Tyler agreed to it immediately. "Sure. Who is it?""I don't know who that is," Caroline explained. "I'll send you her photo later. Take a look and see when you can get her information.""Don't worry. But Mommy, the commission isn't cheap." Tyler chuckled naughtily. Helplessness engulfed her. "Well, you're getting naughtier now, aren't you?"Tyler begged for mercy. "Mommy, I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously." If others aske
Caroline had no choice but to allow Jamie to stay at her house because she had no information about Jamie's background. Tomorrow, she intended to contact the police department to inquire about Jamie's situation.She had initially planned to assign a room to Jamie, but Jamie appeared fearful of sleeping alone. Thus, Jamie strongly preferred to sleep alongside Caroline.Respecting Jamie's wishes, Caroline agreed. Before going to bed, she let Jamie take a bath and then settle down beside her.As Caroline climbed into bed, Jamie asked, "What's your name?"Caroline assisted in making Jamie comfortable under the covers and replied, "I'm Caroline Shenton."Jamie murmured, "Caroline Shenton…"Caroline smiled faintly and asked, "What about you? Do you still remember your name?""Jamie Weiss." Jamie's eyes turned dull. "I only remember this."Caroline comforted her, "Well, I'll call you Juliet then. It's fine if you can't recall things. They'll slowly come to you. Don't worry. You can
