Daniella shook her head. "No, Grandpa. Giving me money is different from the money I earn myself."I'm all grown up now. I can't always rely on my elders."Grayson was gratified because of her words. "What do you want to do? Tell me. I'll support you in this aspect."Daniella's eyes lit up. "Grandpa, I want to open a small fashion design company."Grayson patted the back of her hand dotingly. "That's simple. I can fund you as long as you're good and happy."Daniella said, "Thank you, Grandpa! You're the best!"After that, she sneered with a wicked grin. She believed she could do it because Caroline could. Plus, she had a dependable backer.Once the company was established, she planned to outshine Caroline—TYC Fashion would vanish.Naturally, she would not lay idle since Caroline made her suffer. -On Monday, the bodyguards went to the kindergarten with Caroline to send Tyler and Liora to school.The kindergarten principal came to them and sincerely apologized for what happe
Hearing that, Reuben could not suppress his smile.Even though Evan acted out of spite because of Caroline, he would choose to help her when necessary.-During the subsequent days, Caroline would check on the customers' comments whenever she was free, except during meetings. Kenny opened the door and came in just to find her staring at the computer. Hence, he felt helpless. "G, stop looking at it. People have been liking our stuff for three days, except the day we shipped out."Caroline glanced at him from the side. "Instead of overseeing at the factory, you're teasing me here?"Kenny blinked, feeling upset. "I just want to have lunch with you."Caroline was rendered speechless. "Please don't be so weird," Caroline complained. She could not see a man being pretentious here.Kenny asked, "Let's go and grab a bite, shall we?" -After they walked out of the company, they picked a nearby restaurant. Kenny was strange today as he fawned on Caroline humbly. His unusual beh
"G, I'm pretty guilty toward you."Caroline was baffled. "Why?""Nothing," Kenny said, forcing a smile to hide his sadness. "Just wait for me to come back!"Once she saw him pass through the security checkpoint and leave, she turned and headed back.-Later that night, Caroline was having dinner with the two kids when Paige hurriedly burst in."Godmother!" Liora excitedly jumped off the chair to throw herself into Paige's arms.Paige held Liora's face and kissed the latter repeatedly before she looked at Caroline. "Carol, I have something to tell you."Caroline asked, "You haven't eaten, right?"Paige led Liora back to the dining table and sat down. "No, but I won't stay for dinner. I have a gathering later."Paige always had gatherings with friends, so Caroline did not dwell much on it.Caroline then asked, "What do you want to say?" "I heard from my colleagues that the pretentious bitch wants to set up a company. She even picked a spot!"While speaking, Paige forked a
It turned out that Daniella was the mastermind behind Tyler's kidnapping.She caused Caroline to break down and faint because of him.When Tyler found out, he worked on confronting that wicked woman.Since she offered herself like that, he needed to give her an impressive gift for her opening ceremony.-Caroline took her children to kindergarten and then went to her company.On her way, she passed by the old technology company. Many tired workers were leaving the company as she walked by.She decided to take some photos with her phone, capturing Daniella's company name, YN.Afterward, she attended a meeting at her own company before heading to the clothing factory.She got to the factory by 10:30 a.m.Upon entering the office, she hoped to find Naomi's injury had improved. However, Naomi was absent from her desk. So, she headed to the work area.There, she spotted Naomi conversing with a couple of maintenance workers near the machine. Naomi had a cast on her.Just as she m
At night, Caroline went to the hospital to see Lily.Unexpectedly, as Caroline exited the elevator, she encountered Evan Evan conversing with the doctor. Her instinct was to avoid him, but Evan's distant gaze was fixed on her.Consequently, Caroline steeled herself and approached. While passing by Evan, she gave a nod."Madam, could you please wait?"Abruptly, the doctor addressed her in broken English.Caroline halted and turned. "What's the matter?"Approaching, the doctor handed her a report. "This is Ms. Smith's report. Additionally, Mr. Jordan wishes to discuss the possibility of another brain surgery for her."Caroline got the report, but it was in Spanish, a language she didn't know.She glanced at Evan. He seemed amused and curious.Was this intentional?He might have asked the doctor to give her an unreadable report, thinking she would have to ask him to explain it to her.Caroline would not let him have his way, so she asked the doctor, "I can't understand this. Co
"Ms. Shenton, you..." The doctor heaved a deep sigh. "Mr. Jordan is very concerned about Ms. Smith, but you condemned him so. Of course, anyone would feel heartbroken because of that."When the doctor noticed Caroline's distressed expression, he explained, "Ms. Smith's case is quite unusual. The surgery is easy for any surgeon. Therefore, her situation shouldn't have turned out like this."Caroline took a deep breath and said, "Is it because of her psychological factor?"The doctor frowned. "It's very unlikely."Caroline nodded in frustration. "Okay, but I still insist on the conservative treatment."The doctor turned to leave since he had failed to persuade her.Caroline walked into Lily's ward. When she saw the latter's pale face, she hesitated briefly. At last, she decided to call Scott.After a while, Scott picked it up.Caroline walked to the lounge and said, "Scott, were you the one who performed Lily's surgery?" "I was the assistant instead of the main surgeon," Scot
Alex hung up before Paige placed a bottle of wine before him.She sounded drunk. "Alex, why did you make a call? Are you trying to run away?" Alex was rendered speechless. He then looked at Paige. "Miss, it never even crossed my mind. I promised to apologize to you, so I won't break my word." "Of course, it's not that simple." Paige clicked her tongue. "Can I apologize to you after I kill you?""Do you think you can do that? You'll get locked up if you kill someone." "Eh? Pixie?"When Alex asked the question, a young, good-looking man approached them. He seemed to be in his early 20s.Paige brushed off Alex's question, standing up with a spark in her eyes. "Why're you here? What a surprise! Join me for a drink!"Paige warmly invited him to join her drinking party with Alex.Alex's expression changed.Spotting Alex, Pixie asked loudly, "Who's he?"Quickly, Paige replied, "Oh, just an older guy. Pay no mind. He can't handle his drink and isn't much help."Alex's lips twitc
Axel clenched his phone nervously because of Evan's sharp gaze. "What kind of questions?""It's about Ty and Lia." Caroline wondered why Axel was a bit slow today.His voice was low, and he did not talk to her excitedly like he always did.Axel's heart skipped a beat. "No, Mommy." Caroline said, "That's great. This is our secret. I believe that you can help me keep it."After that, Evan raised his phone before Axel again.Axel's face changed when he saw the words on it. He asked with a shaky voice, "Mom... Mommy, when are you going to tell Daddy about Ty and Lia's backgrounds…"Caroline frowned anxiously, thinking, 'There is something wrong with Axel's emotions. Besides, he asked more questions than their previous calls.'Caroline soon thought of Evan.It was very likely that he was beside Axel. Caroline tried to keep calm and answered, "Axel, Ty and Lia are your siblings even if you guys don't share the same father."Axel abruptly heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Carolin
