Caroline's weariness was instantly evident as she retrieved her phone and saw her father's call.

Suppressing the pain in her ankle, she hurriedly left the kitchen to answer the call.

"Hello," Caroline's voice sounded dull.

"Why didn't you call me, Carol?" Bradley asked.

Caroline replied, "You added my number to your blacklist because you were afraid someone would trace you through me. Did you forget?"

Bradley let out an awkward laugh. "Yes, I forgot. Never mind. Where are you now?"

"I'm working overtime," Caroline responded.

Bradley commented, "Ah, working overtime is good. You can earn more. Carol, do you have any money now?"

Caroline tightened her grip on the glass in her hand. Did he care about nothing besides money? Had he forgotten so quickly that he left her alone at the casino the other day?

"I don't. I used all my money to repay your debt!" Caroline's voice turned harsh.

"Even if you have a few dollars, it's fine. Don't you have anything?" Bradley grew anxious.

    'Who did she intend to reveal her cleavage to?' Evan thought sourly.Caroline was left speechless by Evan's remark.She had always worn such gowns in the past, so why was he prohibiting it now?Unwilling to argue, she changed into a white long gown with a deep back V, hoping it would meet his approval.However, Evan's expression grew even more somber when he saw it.The most alluring feature of her body was her back, slim and upright with two captivating shoulder blades that never failed to awaken his most primal desires in the bedroom.Those should be reserved for his eyes only.

Yuliana's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.Noticing that he was still fixated on Caroline's departure, Yuliana quickly grew dissatisfied.

    Caroline looked up and spotted Bradley stumbling into the ward. His face was flushed from alcohol.Upon seeing Caroline, Bradley immediately wore a wide smile. "Carol, there you are!"However, Katie glared at him fiercely and spoke with anger, "What are you doing here? Leave!"Caroline quickly stood up and tried to calm her mother. "Mom, please calm down. You shouldn't get upset after your surgery."Bradley pouted. "I'll leave if you give me some money."Caroline looked at her father in disbelief. "Dad! Mom is still recovering. She can't give you any money!"He glared at Caroline. "Your mom used your money to rest comfortably in the hospital. But what about me? We don't even have a home now. I've been sleeping on the streets. Do you even understand what situation I'm in right now?"Realizing he had misspoken, he abruptly fell silent.

    Under Evan's watchful gaze, Caroline struggled with conflicting emotions. She couldn't bring herself to ask Evan for an advance payment using her mother and child as a pretext. She felt responsible for her mother's care and she wanted to keep the child, so it didn't seem right to ask for money from someone else.Furthermore, she couldn't guarantee that Evan wouldn't become suspicious.As a result, she made a feeble excuse. "I suddenly forgot what I wanted to say. I'll let you know when I remember." Then, she hurriedly left the study.Sensing something was not right with Caroline, Evan furrowed his brow and decided to call Reuben.*The following day, when Caroline woke up, she received a notification on her phone informing her that she had received 280,000 dollars. Additionally, she received a message from Reuben that said [Ms. Shenton, Mr. Jordan has given you a house. The address is...]Stunned, she was at a loss for words.

She then walked over to Caroline while smiling sweetly and said, "Evan couldn't stand that I was living in a shabby place before this, so he bought me a house. I'm certain that he and I will become a couple soon."Caroline chuckled and retorted, "So, you two aren't a couple yet, huh?""Pfft..." Daniella's smile froze as Paige burst into laughter."We'll become a couple soon enough. In any case, I'm still getting much better treatment than you." Daniella mocked Caroline."Hmm, he bought me a house too," Caroline replied indifferently before turning away and opening the door.Confusion replaced the smile on Daniella's face. Meanwhile, Paige couldn't contain her laughter. She patted Daniella's shoulders and clicking her tongue. "Stop making a fool of yourself. You look like a clown."As Daniella

    Caroline knocked expressionly on the glass, instantly capturing the attention of all the secretaries in the office. As they turned around and saw Caroline, they fell dead silent.With a smile on her face, Caroline entered the office and addressed them, "Why did the conversation suddenly stop when I arrived? Shouldn't I be included since I'm the one being talked about?"The secretaries exchanged nervous glances.Caroline held the documents in her hand as she approached the front table and shot them an icy gaze. "Perhaps you should dedicate your time to work rather than indulge in gossip about others."Placing the documents on the table, she continued, "Ms. Walker, as the head of the secretaries, you should set a better example instead of indulging in idle chat. Before you leave, kindly collect this month's salary from the finance department."Jane Walker widened her eyes and stood up abruptly.

It didn't take long for her to realize who else, apart from Caroline, could elicit such a hurried and furious reaction from Evan.Why did Evan hold Caroline in such high regard? She was just a shameless mistress.With a gloomy expression, Daniella decided since Caroline wouldn't let her man go, she could not be blamed for taking matters into her own hands and acting ruthlessly..*After sharing her location with Evan, Caroline composedly placed her phone in her pocket.

    Reese winced in pain. "Alright, ma'am. I guess I can read your mind? Be gentle!"Liora relaxed her grip at last. "Right, when are we going to that place you mentioned previously?""There's no rush. Your body isn't up for constant actions now. What if you get hurt by those harmful spirits again? I've already committed myself to you out of guilt. If it happens again, I won't have anything else to offer."Liora chuckled. "You make it sound like I'm desperate for your compensation.""What's wrong with that? I'm a strong, handsome man, and everyone loves me!" said Reese, displeased.Liora was astounded by his narcissism.She took a deep breath and said, "Reese.""Hmm?"Liora said, "In truth, I'm not the best choice to be your partner because of my profession. Those spirits may bother me from time to time. I'm the complete opposite of Isaac because of my negative physique.""What happens when you have a negative physique?""Spirits will be drawn to bother me and might cause me a lo

    Reese and Isaac couldn't perceive the spirit, but they witnessed a dark mist dissipating before them.Isaac asked in astonishment, "What's happening, Lia?"Liora turned and answered, "The female spirit didn't want to move on, so her soul has been dissolved.""Dissolved? Do you mean her soul has been destroyed?" asked Reese. Liora nodded and looked around. "Uncle Kenny, please help me find the six spirits."Kenny took on the task and brought those fearful spirits in just a few minutes. Liora asked, "Do you want to choose the same option as her or come with me to Cross Chapel?""Cross Chapel!""We would have left long ago if we weren't trapped here by her threats!""She wouldn't let us go even in death. Aren't our lives worth anything?"After Fiery Red was gone, these spirits began to complain in anger.Liora was infuriated by their complaints. "How dare you criticize her! She may be responsible for your deaths, but what about you then? Do you think you bear no responsibil

    "That's easy for you to say! Those who caused my death may have become spirits, but I still want to stop them from moving on!" Fiery Red barked. Liora frowned. "So, you're implying that those six students caused your death?""Why would I kill them otherwise?"Liora said, "It's time to let them go now that they've faced your revenge. Keeping them trapped is like trapping yourself. Why bother?""Allowing them to move on is letting them off too lightly!" Fiery Red roared. Liora said, "Your obsession is too strong and is keeping you trapped here. You're constantly hurting yourself with painful memories. If you move on properly, it will be a kind of liberation from your past.""Don't preach to me! I'll make it simple for you. It's either you die or my soul gets destroyed!" Fiery Red snapped. She was about to attack Liora just as she finished her sentence. Liora was planning to call out to Isaac when a figure suddenly showed up. Kenny rushed over and blasted away Fiery Red."Y

    Tyler did not comment further upon hearing Liora's reply. In the evening, Isaac returned home from school to find Liora already there. He hurried over, brimming with excitement. "You're back, Lia! How are you feeling? Have you recovered from your injuries?"Isaac's smile stretched from ear to ear.Liora glanced at Isaac meaningfully and said, "Please do me a favor tonight, Isaac."Isaac nodded repeatedly. "Sure, are we heading to the campus?"Liora looked at Isaac in astonishment. "Are you not scared anymore?"The smile on Isaac's face faded slowly. "Spirits are scary, but I don't want to see you bullied by them again, Lia. I wanted to destroy those spirits on the same day after seeing you suffer. However, they told me to respect your decision, so I didn't do that."Liora caressed Isaac's head affectionately. "You've grown, Isaac. You know how to look out for me now."Isaac took Liora's hand and held her hand tightly in his own. "Lia, I've always cared about you. Next time you

    Reese said, "Yes, you have been in love with her for 15 years and have invested a lot of time for her. However, haven't you noticed that Lia is a very rational person? As soon as she figures things out, she can move on immediately."Chester's breathing became irregular. He took two deep breaths shakily while staring at Reese. "Yes, she is more sensitive and rational than anyone else."Reese said, "I'm going to give you another analogy. If Lia chooses to be with me, what are you going to do?""Nothing. I said before that I'd respect Lia's choice no matter what. Similarly, you don't have to worry about anything else. I won't harbor any resentment because of love," Chester replied. Reese said, "In other words, you'll continue to be friends with Lia even if we end up together, is that right?"Chester frowned. "Lia and I are friends. If we can't be together, our relationship will remain the same as before. You like Lia, but you can't stop me from being friends with her, Reese."Reese

    Reese raised his right arm and said, "My entire right arm was covered in blood at the time. I watched the removal of rotten flesh from your back with my own eyes. I couldn't sleep peacefully for days.""That's easy! Just get the doctor to prescribe sleeping pills to you. You will be able to sleep better, right?" Liora said while giggling. Reese crouched down next to the bed, smiling. "Lia, are you mad at me?"Liora was confused. "Mad at you? For what?"Reese scratched his nose. "If I didn't take you there, you wouldn't have gotten injured."Liora took a glance at him, astounded. "This has nothing to do with you taking me there. It's the ignorant spirits. I'll deal with them all once I recover!""You still want to go back there?" Reese exclaimed. "Yes, of course! Hades will be delighted if I can send the seven spirits to him," Liora said. Reese looked at the joyous smile on Liora's face, feeling guilty. "I was hoping that you'd scold me instead of talking to me so casually."

    Reese sent away Tyler and the other, surging them to get some rest while he remained seated, his gaze fixed on Liora.She slept peacefully, her chest rising and falling slowly with each breath. Meanwhile, a nurse approached. Reese noticed her and hastily stood up. "Hello, nurse."The nurse asked, "How can I help you?"Reese said, "May I inquire when Liora can be transferred out of the ICU?"The nurse said, "I'm not too sure about that. It depends on the healing of her wounds and vital signs. She has the most extensive wound that I've ever seen on a girl. She might end up with scars…"The nurse opened the door and walked inside upon saying that. Reese was overwhelmed by a sense of guilt as he thought of the debt he owed to Liora. He knew he could never fully repay it in this lifetime.-Three days later, Liora was transferred out of the ICU.After learning about the incident, Caroline and Evan rushed to the hospital. They were heartbroken to see Liora lying prone on the be

    Fear and worry flooded Reese's mind, making it impossible for him to sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky through the skylight. Reese could not help Liora in her profession, so he wondered if he could help out in her safety. He thought about it before he grabbed his phone to text Tyler. Reese: [Can you tell me where Ms. Yelena is staying?]Soon, Tyler texted Yelena's hotel and room number. Reese: [Thank you, my friend.]Tyler sneered.Tyler: [I haven't settled the score with you over Lia's predicament.]Reese: [I'll accept any punishment you deem necessary. It was my mistake, and I'll take responsibility for it.]There was no reply from Tyler afterward.Reese did not send another text, so he started the car and drove to the hotel. -Half an hour later, Reese arrived at the door of Yelena's room. He pondered briefly before knocking on the door. Soon, he heard a response. "Coming."Yelena opened the door and was surprised to find Reese. "Are you the lad fro

    Liora opened her palm. The outline of the charm was vague, but she could feel its intense energy. She took a deep breath and stood up. After sensing her movement, the spirits glanced at her. Liora turned to look at them and felt the same feeling that stopped her from leaving again!Suppressing the fear, Liora braced herself to walk out of the door.The closer she got to the door, the more intense the gloomy presence became—she felt as if her soul was being crushed. "Don't be scared, Lia!""Try to walk out, Lia! They won't hurt you!""Lia! Axel, Ty, Mr. Gates, and I are waiting for you!"Αfter hearing their voices, Liora shed tears. She gnashed her teeth and continued to stride toward the door, which seemed so close yet remained out of reach. She took a deep breath, raised her hand with the charm, and attempted to walk closer. This time, the spirits all turned to look at her. They rushed forward in unison when they sensed Liora was about to touch the door. Sensing t
