Daniella opened the door and walked to Grayson with the phone. He was still sitting in bed.She then pointed at the woman in the photo and asked, "Grandpa, do you know this woman?" Grayson took the phone and squinted as he examined it closely. However, just one glance sent him into contemplation. "She seems somewhat familiar, but I can't remember where I saw her."Daniella said, "It's someone related to Evan. I saw her photo in a drawer in Evan's study before.""Oh." Grayson looked at it again before he shook his head with regret. "Ella, I can't recall who she is."Daniella became slightly anxious. "Grandpa, can you take a closer look? Is it Evan's relative or someone else?""Yes, he's looking for someone. Why are you anxious, too?"Grayson stopped looking at the photo and returned the phone to Daniella.Daniella answered, "I care about him, so I'm anxious for him."Grayson said, "I don't want you to meddle in his affairs again. Go out. I want to rest for a little longer."D
"Jamie, there are a lot of people upstairs, so I won't let you come with me. I'll ask Dr. Bailey and the bodyguards to take you around and get some nice food. Is that okay?" "Oh." Jamie obediently got into the car.Caroline told Freya, "Dr. Bailey, please keep an eye on her. Don't lose sight of her.""Don't worry, Ms. Shenton," Freya reassured before leaving with Jamie and the bodyguards.However, they didn't go far. They stopped near the company.Soon after, Freya took Jamie to a nearby cafe for some coffee.Jamie nearly ordered everything at the cafe in addition to a glass of lemon water that Freya ordered.With November approaching, the morning temperature wasn't high. Enjoying the sun's warmth was quite pleasant.So, Freya and Jamie chose to sit outdoors, waiting for Caroline.Meanwhile, not far away, Daniella stepped out of her car in high heels. She was about to instruct her bodyguard to wait when a white figure caught her attention from the corner of her eye.She subc
Caroline was embarrassed and found it to be slightly inappropriate. Tyler was a boy whose intelligence level was higher than his peers. Naturally, a story like that would be uninteresting for him. Caroline caressed Liora's face. "Storytime for tonight is over, my precious. I'll read you another story next time. It's getting late, and you have school tomorrow. Let's sleep."Liora said, "Alright, Mommy. Goodnight, don't stay up.""Alright, Mommy."Caroline turned off the bedside lamp, walked out of the room, and returned to her bedroom. Jamie could sleep by herself now, so she did not need to sleep with Jamie these days.Caroline lay on the bed and grabbed her phone from the bedside table to read some news.Evan's message came into view, and she was surprised. She opened the message and saw a photo of Kenny hugging an attractive woman. 'Is there an issue with this? Also, what does he want with sending this photo? Why is he intervening with Kenny's private life?' she wondered
Teasingly, Caroline pointed out, "You were the one who wanted to move into my place. And remember, I don't own the company all by myself.""You're heartless. Oh, right, is everything alright with the company?" Kenny asked."Pretty good. It's still functioning without you." Caroline continued to tease. Kenny said, "Alright. You don't have to reiterate my inferior position in your heart. Did the scoundrel reach out to you?""Yes. He sent me a photo of you hugging an attractive woman earlier." "Damn it! He has actually extended his influence to Ylesir! If that is the case, my effort to get him to think we're together is wasted, right?"Caroline remembered what Kenny had told Evan sometime ago. "Discuss with me before you do something next time, so it won't be embarrassing for both of us when it is exposed," Caroline said in displeasure. Kenny giggled. "I won't disobey my boss' order."Caroline chuckled. "Alright, I'm going to bed. Go and get busy with your stuff."-The nex
Caroline had still been considering ways to decline the necklace, so she did not notice Scott entering the kitchen. She was visibly startled by Scott's action."I thought I was making you breakfast?"They stood so close that Caroline blushed. Scott chuckled. "I'm just joking. It's not my birthday today."Caroline felt helpless. "I'm not fond of birth parties. We can just invite Paige over for dinner.""You're the birthday girl, so you decide. I'll handle the arrangements.""Sure."Scott grabbed Caroline's shoulders and forced her to turn around. "Go outside and wait for breakfast then, birthday girl."Caroline was kicked out of the kitchen. She had nothing else to do, so she headed upstairs to wake the children.Scott had already prepared breakfast by the time she came downstairs with the children after they washed up.Liora ran over in excitement when she saw Scott. "Papa Wilson! I missed you! Where have you been recently?"Scott picked up Liora and caressed her nose affec
Caroline was relieved to hear Scott's explanation. She nodded and said, "Great then. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to get for your birthday."Scott appeared slightly frustrated. "You're still acting like a stranger to me."Caroline explained, "No, it's because your gift is too valuable.""Alright, I'm just teasing you. I'll be heading to the hospital later, and I'll come over to celebrate your birthday at night.""Sure."-In the afternoon, Paige called when Caroline had just completed dealing with her tasks. "Happy birthday, Carol!" Paige's excited voice echoed.Caroline said smilingly, "Thank you!"Paige said, "Don't mention it! Don't prepare anything for tonight. I've booked a huge private room at a hotel to celebrate your birthday."Caroline said, "It's just a birthday. No need for such a huge fuss.""No! This is your first birthday back in the country. We must make it grand!"Caroline was rendered speechless. Others would think that she was celebrating her 80th bi
Evan was forcefully brought along to the shopping mall together with the dumbfounded Paige because of his remark. Alex used a brute excuse. "Women understand women best!"Evan did not have any reason to reject it. Paige glared at Alex the entire time as she struggled to walk, trailed by a group of bodyguards.Shortly after, she spotted Evan walking ahead. She lowered her voice and asked with anger, "Why did you invite my boss to come along?"Evan stopped walking and turned to look after hearing the whisper.Paige immediately smiled and said, "How can I help you, Mr. Jordan?"Paige's skillful change of behavior left Alex speechless.Evan did not speak but continued to look around. Paige seized the opportunity to pinch Alex's buttocks ferociously. Alex gnashed his teeth in pain. "What are you doing!"Paige said, "Tell me, why did you invite Mr. Jordan to come along? Don't you know that he and Carol don't get along?" Alex said, "He proposed it, and I don't have a reason t
Scott and Caroline followed Paige to a seat. They were about to talk when they suddenly heard people gasping in shock."Oh my god! It's Mr. Jordan and Mr. Pierce!""Whoa! Is that Mr. Jordan's son in his arms? Gosh, he's cute!"Caroline felt her back stiffen when she heard the voices and looked at the hall entrance in a daze. Evan walked into the banquet hall wearing a black, custom-made suit and holding Axel in his arms.A group of bodyguards following behind him spread into two groups guarding the two sides of the entrance after he entered the hall. The warm spotlight illuminated Evan's elegant figure and enhanced his charm.However, his face was cold and unapproachable, instilling fear in everyone. Caroline was astonished. She turned to look at Paige. "Did you invite him as well?"Paige glared at Alex in the distance and said angrily, "That son of a bitch Pierce invited him! He betrayed me, and I will get even with him sooner or later!"Caroline was embarrassed. "Forge
