Lily's son, Wayne Hunter, asked, "Who is this?""Don't mind who I am, Mr. Hunter. Ms. Smith is involved in an accident and is receiving treatment on the top floor of the Grand East Hospital's ward." Daniella sobbed softly. "What? Are you sure that it's my mother?" Wayne raised his voice in disbelief. "You may come and see for yourself at the Grand East Hospital if you don't believe me.""I'll report you to the police if you're deceiving me!" Wayne warned. Daniella said, "Ms. Smith is a good person, Mr. Hunter. She helped me in the past, so I'm telling you out of kindness. Please don't speak in this manner. You should be angry at the person who knew but didn't tell you earlier, right?"Daniella fully disclosed Lily's condition to Wayne, then ended the call after inciting him. She casually wiped away the false tears she had shed as part of her act. Now, she just needed to wait for the drama to unfold.-Caroline walked out of the ward to receive a stranger's call. "Hello…"
Kenny couldn't help but cuss after hearing that. "How can anyone do such a thing?"Caroline lifted her head. "So, please, let's not create a scene—"Before she could finish, a bodyguard entered the house abruptly. "Ms. Shenton, we stopped someone who was trying to force their way into the house."Caroline felt fear and wondered if it were Wayne."Bitch! Come outside right now!"Angry shouts echoed from outside, just as Caroline thought about Wayne.Kenny got up quickly. "I'll go teach him a lesson!"Caroline grabbed Kenny's shirt and urgently restrained him. "Stop it!"Kenny was furious. "G! That ungrateful jerk is here! I can't stand him insulting you like this!"Caroline stood as well. "I'll handle it, don't get involved.""No!" Kenny refused. "I'm going with you!"Caroline gave in, seeing Kenny's determination. "Promise me you won't act recklessly.""Okay!" Kenny answered. Caroline walked to the door with Kenny. Wayne lay subdued on the ground, pinned by the bodyguar
Wayne could not contain his joy and agreed. "Sure! You have one week. I'll wait!"Caroline nodded and beckoned the bodyguards to let Wayne leave. Kenny ground his teeth after Wayne left. "This is preposterous!"Caroline leaned against the sofa and answered nonchalantly, "These kinds of scoundrels are the most unreasonable people in this world.""So, are you really going to give him 700,000 dollars?" Kenny asked. "I'm not that well-off." Caroline looked at Kenny in frustration. 'What happened to our telepathic connection?' she wondered.Kenny kept quiet for a brief moment before he figured it out. "Ah! You're trying to buy time!""I suppose you can say that." Caroline said, "Most importantly, I would like to find out who the secret informant is."Kenny gave a thumbs up. "Awesome, G!"-Caroline called Neil before bedtime, her voice soft over the phone. "Are you still awake, Neil?""Yeah, Carol. What's up?" Neil's voice, though tired, remained gentle.Caroline furrowed he
"Sister?" Wayne thought about it closely and asked, "Caroline?"Neil said, "Yes. However, you have to do something for me in exchange for the evidence.""What is it?""I need you to tell me who told you about this incident and instructed you to seek compensation from Caroline," Neil replied.Neil toyed with the USB drive and added, "I have my own ways of verifying if you are telling the truth. If I discover you're deceiving us or causing problems for my sister after getting the evidence, you'll need to consider whether leaving Angelbay unharmed is feasible. On the other hand, your ability will decide if you can get the money."Neil's tone was casual, but Wayne's face transformed dramatically.If this person could kidnap him openly, what other capabilities did they possess?The realization hit him—he had underestimated Caroline's connections. Rather than enraging the man before him, he preferred using the evidence for compensation.Wayne said, "Alright, I'll cooperate. I don't k
Evan would not let Caroline see Axel again if she chose the latter!Noticing Evan's anger, Reuben lowered his head and said, "Yes, sir."He was about to leave when Evan called out to him. "Fire the newly-hired bodyguards. I want a complete overhaul of the technical department staff!"Reuben was taken aback. The previous group of employees got replaced when they couldn't locate Caroline, leaving only Julian. Evan was really angry with Caroline today, so he desired new staff.If this kept up, the company's employees would feel uncomfortable.However, Reuben refrained from speaking up and readied himself to perform the task.-At Xander Residence.The bodyguards stopped Wayne at the door.He had learned his lesson this time. "Sir, I'm here to see Mr. Grayson Xander. Please inform him to let me in. Tell him that I have a voice recording to give him."The bodyguard said, "I'll inform him. Wait here."Wayne waited for a few minutes before the bodyguard came and said, "Follow me."
The lawyer came quickly to draft a contract that both parties signed. Grayson passed a million-dollar check to Wayne soon afterward. Wayne never expected to acquire a million dollars so effortlessly. He erased the voice clip while Grayson watched and gave him the USB drive. He then left with the check in excitement.Grayson's expression turned sinister as soon as Wayne left. 'How dare a measly nobody try to take one million dollars from me? Dream on!' he thought.Grayson looked toward the bodyguard standing by the side and ordered, "Go deal with him and make it clean!"The bodyguard nodded. "Yes, sir!"-Kindergarten was ending, and Caroline was waiting by the door to pick up her children. Suddenly, the screech of brakes caught her attention. She turned and saw a Maybach pull up behind her. Reuben quickly emerged from the driver's seat and respectfully opened the back door. Evan stepped out of the car, dressed in a black suit, radiating confidence. His tired eyes showed
Caroline's heart ached with pain when she saw her son's demeanor. 'What is wrong with Evan? Why would he vent his anger on a child when he's in a bad mood?' she wondered.Caroline looked at Evan. "Will you listen to your child instead of always being so unreasonable?"Looking at Caroline and her two children, Evan couldn't stop thinking about her being with another man. Instantly, anger surged within him. He bent down, picked up Axel, turned, and headed to the car.Caroline frowned. "Evan!"Evan halted to a stop but continued to walk after a brief moment. Caroline went after him with Tyler and Liora. "Can't you see that Axel isn't happy?"Evan ignored her and entered the car with Axel before slamming the door heavily. Caroline was dumbfounded while Reuben heaved a sigh after seeing this. 'The tension between them had just eased a little…'Caroline held back the pain in her chest. She saw Evan take her son away. She couldn't make him stay by force, or he might get really ang
Neil picked up the sobbing Liora, patted her back patiently, and asked, "Is that true, Carol?"Caroline lowered her gaze. "Yes…"Neil asked, "What is the reason?"Caroline pondered for a long time, yet she was clueless. "I don't know.""Caroline, rushing won't help. If Evan still has feelings for you, he won't stay distant forever. You can't have Axel's custody since Evan raised him," Neil said directly. "Also, facing Evan's influence in Angelbay, winning the lawsuit is unlikely."Caroline clenched her fists tightly, thinking, 'Is there really no other way?'Caroline felt heartbroken when she thought about Axel's sad face and quietness earlier.All of a sudden, Tyler ran downstairs and took Caroline's hand. "Come with me, Mommy."Caroline followed Tyler upstairs in confusion and saw Axel's face on the laptop screen after entering the room. She hastily called out, "My precious!"Axel's dim eyes lit up at the sight of Caroline. "Mommy."Caroline felt the urge to cry. "Is your
