"Carol!" Paige called out. Caroline gazed at Paige with trembling eyes. Alex and Evan hurried over together.Evan approached solemnly, his relief evident as he saw Axel unhurt. His gaze shifted to Liora, but Tyler was nowhere in sight.Caroline turned to Alice and asked, "Did anyone check the nearby surveillance cameras?""We've had someone look into that," Alice replied.Caroline propped up her forehead, and tears welled in her eyes. 'Why are all the children still here except Tyler?'"Please try to stay calm, Ms. Shenton. It's possible that Tyler is playing somewhere and will return on his own soon.""My son isn't the type to do that! He doesn't wander alone!" Caroline's voice trembled.Noticing Caroline's distress, Liora hugged her mother, tears streaming down her face. "Mommy… Please, don't be like this. I'm scared, Mommy…"Axel tightly clenched his fists, his expression showing guilt. He knew he was also responsible for not keeping an eye on Tyler.Paige understood the
Evan glared at Alex, but the latter shrugged. "I'm telling the truth."Evan gritted his teeth, concerned about Caroline's condition. After a brief moment of thought, he swiftly scooped up Axel and hurried to the location.Alex followed closely behind.-Twenty minutes later, Caroline received Wayne's call just as she stepped out of her car at the harbor. "What's happening? Why did you bring so many people here?"Caroline was taken aback. "I'm alone. What are you talking about?""Then explain the two black cars that just pulled in," Wayne demanded.Caroline turned and saw Evan and Alex's cars. 'Why are they following me?' she wondered.Caroline clarified, "That's the child's father, not the police!""Fine, or else I'll start cutting the rope," Wayne threatened.'Rope?'Caroline quickly looked up. She spotted a small figure swaying in the wind, tied to the tallest crane at the harbor. It dangled several tens of meters above the solid ground below!Fear gripped Caroline's knee
Caroline was stunned. "What do you mean? Do you think I'm deceiving you?""Or else?" Evan asked.Caroline struggled free from Evan's grip abruptly. She appeared deeply disappointed and said coldly, "Evan! Remember what you said today! You will regret your words and actions today one day!"Upon saying that, she got into the car and drove to the low-rise building. Paige looked at her solemn-looking employer in contempt as she carried the crying Liora. "Mr. Jordan, you've broken Carol's heart this time and enlightened me."She turned around and watched Caroline's car closely.Alex heaved a sigh, approached, and said, "Evan, it didn't seem like she was acting earlier."Evan's cold expression fixated on the small figure suspended in the air. He tutted and remarked, "I don't think the things I've verified would be fake."-Caroline left the car key on the table inside the low-rise building. She then transferred two million dollars to Wayne's account.After finishing these tasks, C
Caroline burst into tears instantly. "Ty, is that you?"She couldn't believe her son was standing before her, safe and sound. She remembered him falling from up high...Tyler appeared frustrated. "Mommy, what are you talking about? Who else can it be if not me?"Caroline wiped away her tears after receiving an assuring response. "Nothing, Ty. I was just blabbering. I'm coming.""Come, Mommy."Caroline nodded and walked toward Tyler. After walking for a while, she realized she could not reach Tyler's side!Caroline looked up in terror. "Ty…""You're slow, Mommy. Walk faster."Caroline took a deep breath and ran toward Tyler. The further she ran, the further Tyler was. "Mommy…" Tyler's dark eyes were filled with disappointment. "Mommy, why aren't you here yet?""I'm coming!" Caroline answered. "Don't move. Wait for me.""It's late, Mommy…"Tyler's voice grew softer, and his tiny figure disappeared suddenly. "Ty?Caroline sat upright from the bed in the hospital, screa
"It's none of your business! Evan, why are you stopping me from seeing my son! I won't forgive you for the rest of my life if Ty is gone! It was you who did nothing! You were merciless and refused to help!" Caroline shouted. Paige stepped forward to explain after noticing Evan's displeased expression. "Calm down, Carline. I'll show you Ty, okay?"She pulled out her phone and made a video call to Alex swiftly. It did not take long before Alex picked up the call, and his face appeared on the screen. "What is it?" Alex's voice echoed.Paige said, "Turn the camera to Ty and let Carol… Huh?"Caroline grabbed the phone before Paige could complete her sentence. She stared at the screen closely. Tears welled up in her eyes as she saw Alex's camera focused on Tyler, lying quietly on the bed.'Ty is still alive…' she thought.He had no bandage or catheter; only an IV was on the back of his hand.She cried, asking, "What's wrong with him?""He received a strong dose of anesthesia, so
After a while, Caroline couldn't help but ask, "Why do you keep staring at me?"Evan sat gracefully in a chair, crossing his legs. "Let's talk about us."Caroline evaded the topic. "There's nothing between us to discuss.""Really? Then explain why you warned me that I'd regret it," Evan asked.Caroline said, "Words spoken in a moment of desperation hold little truth."Evan's expression was calm as if he had predicted that Caroline would not tell the truth. "I won't force you if you don't want to explain it. But I believe you'd like to know about Axel, right?" Evan said. Caroline looked at him. "What are you trying to say?""Axel is our child."Caroline did not wish to beat about the bush. "So what if he is?""I'm not planning on letting Axel meet you anymore," Evan said. Caroline was stunned. "Why not?"Evan scoffed. "Do you think you deserve to be Axel's mother?"Caroline chuckled. "What? Do you think the child is yours alone? He is my son, too! You don't have the righ
Caroline nodded. "Sure."In truth, her brother was right. Her children would not be caught in this situation again had she not taken it lightly.Neil explained, "I've talked to the police. They said Wayne caused the accident. He didn't hurt the other kids, just Tyler. He also revealed the real mastermind—Daniella. She's at the police station. Grandpa isn't helping her.""Who is that shrew? I'm going to beat her to death!" Kenny was filled with righteous fury. Neil glanced at him. "She is a member of the Xanders. Are you going to do it?"Kenny choked on his words. He was new in town but knew about the three influential families in Angelbay.He would get himself killed if he were to go against the powerful Xanders.Kenny cowered and said, "Uh… Sufficient resources ensure sustainability. Let's conspire first."Caroline's expression chilled as she thought of Daniella. She understood she had misjudged Daniella's cruelty. Daniella had not only mistreated Axel but also manipulated an
Kenny asked Caroline upon her return to the car, "How was it? Is she sentenced?"Caroline put on her seatbelt. "It's not that easy.""Huh? Why?" Kenny asked in shock.'Why…. It's going to take three full days to explain why,' she thought.Moreover, she knew that Grayson would figure out a way to save Daniella if she were to do something now.She was well aware that Daniella would behave for some time after being threatened. She did not wish for Kenny to get involved in her enmity. -The next day, Naomi came to the hospital to seek Caroline's signatures for some documents. She brought a fruit basket as well.Caroline accepted the gift and placed it on the bedside table. "Thank you. Remember to follow up on the factory in the next two days and update me if there is any information."Naomi nodded. "Sure. Ms. Shenton. Please check through these two documents and sign them."Caroline examined the documents closely. After a while, Paige entered the room. "I'm here, Carol."Ca
