"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
On an early Thursday morning at Xander Residence, Daniella was awakened by her ringing phone. She answered the call with a sense of irritation."Hello? Who's there?""Bitch! You better not let me catch you, or you'll die terribly!"The hoarse, deep voice startled Daniella, jolting her awake. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw the caller's number on the screen.'Wayne? Isn't he being pursued by Grandpa? How is he still alive?' she wondered.Daniella feigned her puzzlement. "What do you mean, Mr. Hunter?""Stop pretending! Even though I lost the evidence, I can recognize your voice!" Wayne shouted. "Would I come back to seek compensation from them if not because of you? Would I be pursued if not because of you?"Daniella clutched the blanket tightly. "Mr. Hunter, don't make false accusations like this. I felt guilty, so I told you to seek compensation from Caroline. Who would have thought you'd reach out to my grandfather?""What more is there to explain at this point?""I'm n
Caroline put down the design sketch and looked up. "Investment firm?"Naomi said, "Yes. He is probably here to discuss a collaboration because he is optimistic about our company's prospects."Caroline smiled at Naomi. "You think so?"Naomi said in all seriousness, "I think that you may choose not to engage. We have enough funding from the presale revenue to initiate the next batch of clothing production and establish the storefront. Since we have a strong cash flow, why should we share it with others?"Caroline asked, "I shall ask you in a different way then. Do you think money or connections will grant you a firm position in Angelbay?"Naomi kept quiet for a moment. "There is no lack of wealthy people in Angelbay."Caroline said, "Hence, we can only progress further with connections. Here, look into the firm owner and the firm's track record. We can take our time to meet them."Naomi nodded. "Thank you for the guidance, Ms. Shenton. I'll get to it right away."-In the MK par
"Why do you have to speak so harshly? Don't say these hurtful words without understanding the situation. I know Evan's personality well, and I've never seen him so devoted. How could he possibly do something like this had Daniella not deceived him?""He did it anyway, right? Men like you love making up excuses," Paige said in contempt. Alex realized his explanation was futile. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm fickle, but I have my limits too, Paige. If you don't mind, please give me time. I will take responsibility for you.""Am I supposed to thank you?" Paige rolled her eyes. 'You need time to take responsibility, huh? I couldn't care less about your insincere trick!' she thought.Alex was rendered speechless by the ineffective communication. -After dealing with the car, Alex went upstairs to meet Evan. As he reached the office entrance, he immediately heard an angry voice. "What kind of bullshit is this? Get out of here if you can't do this!""Yes, sir. I will work on
