"There are other ways as well. You can be with Evan," Neil said. 'Will I only be able to see my children by being with Evan?' she wondered.Caroline forced a bitter smile, struggling to let go of her past resentments.-The following afternoon, Alex visited Evan at MK. He smirked the moment he entered and saw Evan's face."Evan, you've actually stooped so low that you got in a fight with someone? Who was the strong one?" Alex asked. Evan looked at Alex. "You talk too much."Alex suppressed his smile and sat on the sofa. "Let me take a guess! Uh… Was it Neil?"Evan's face turned solemn. "I don't mind meeting up with your father to have a talk if you find that you're too bored at work!""I'm trying to help you to strategize, you see. Stop being so heartless," Alex said. Evan sneered. "Do I need you to strategize for me?"Alex said, "You don't… of course. Speaking of which, there are plenty of good quality men around Caroline."Evan lost his patience. "Get out of here if yo
They selected a fancy restaurant. Once they were seated, Daniella handed her business card to the man. "Here's my card. I'm Daniella Love."He accepted her card with a faint smile. "Ah, you're the chairwoman of YN, the newly-founded company.""It's nothing special," Daniella replied, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "May I know your name?""I am Casey Jordan."'Casey... Jordan?' Daniella was taken aback. 'Evan's older brother, Casey?'She recalled her grandfather mentioning Casey once in the past.When Casey noticed Daniella's shocked expression, a hint of contempt briefly crossed his seemingly friendly eyes."Is something wrong, Ms. Love?" Casey asked."No, it's just... a coincidence," Daniella said, snapping back to reality.-Meanwhile, Caroline was in a meeting with the sales and planning departments at TYC.The sales manager reported, "Our sales revenue has exceeded 100,000,000 dollars since the launch of our new product, Ms. Shenton. We'll soon initiate the s
Caroline felt her heart break at the sight of workers sitting on the floor, shocked by the factory fire."They need time to recover, and finding new jobs won't be easy after this," Caroline said.Naomi nodded in agreement.Caroline took action, directing her bodyguards to assist injured workers to the nearby hospital and preventing journalists from documenting the incident. She stayed with the injured workers, discussing compensation.-At MK.Reuben burst into Evan's office."Mr. Jordan, Ms. Shenton's company is facing a crisis!" Reuben placed a tablet in front of Evan, showing a video of the factory fire.Evan's expression turned grave as he watched the fierce fire and thick black smoke in the sky."What's the situation?" he asked."We don't know the fire's cause yet, but the injured workers have been taken to the hospital. Ms. Shenton is handling it well," Reuben replied.Evan's furrowed brows finally relaxed. He had forgotten that he had trained her for three years. She
"Noted," said the woman. "Be careful and avoid getting caught," Daniella reminded casually."I know my limits," replied the woman before ending the call.Daniella threw the phone onto the table, clearly frustrated.'It's just a simple reminder. If you're caught, it's not my concern,' she thought.As long as Caroline didn't gain control over her, Daniella had no interest in others' survival. She had her own tasks ahead.'Casey…' She blushed at the thought of Casey.He was much better than Evan. Despite Casey being over 40 years old, he was on par with male celebrities!She would stop caring about Evan if she could earn Casey's favor. She knew Draco favored his oldest son, too. Also, teaming up with Casey would make beating Caroline a breeze.Daniella laughed with excitement as she scrolled through TYC-related posts.Suddenly, one post captured Daniella's attention.[Holy cow! TYC's female owner is actually my uncle's daughter! She has struck gold!]'Uncle?' Confusion shadow
Naomi calmly remarked, "Ms. Shenton, I'm just assessing the situation objectively."Caroline, visibly mad, retorted, "It also depends on the person! Don't you think I know what kind of person Kenny is?"Naomi fell silent and stared at Caroline.Caroline realized her anger had flared up too quickly, especially after the silence settled in the room."I apologize, Naomi. I appreciate your analysis, but today is overwhelming for me. However, Kenny isn't like that, and I hope you can trust him as much as I do."Naomi nodded. "I understand, Ms. Shenton. I'll do my best to connect with him."Caroline nodded in return. "You can head home now.""Alright."As Naomi left the office, Caroline massaged her temples, feeling drained.-It was midnight, and Caroline had fallen asleep on the desk.Suddenly, a tall figure appeared at the office entrance. He quietly entered and noticed a small blanket on the sofa. Casually, he unfolded it and then approached Caroline, gently covering her.His
Draco took the report, turned to the last page, and frowned upon reading, "The alleged father is excluded as the biological father of the tested child.""How is this possible?" he exclaimed.The doctor also found it strange because Evan and Tyler looked very similar, yet they didn't share a father-son relationship. Nevertheless, he couldn't find any error in his test results. He had double-checked and was the first to receive the report.The doctor said hesitantly, "It's possible that they simply resemble each other—""Say no more. Bodyguard!" Draco interrupted angrily.The bodyguard by the door entered promptly.Draco gritted his teeth and ordered, "Send the children home!"Bernard asked, "You're quite fond of these two children, sir. Won't you let them stay a bit longer?""For what? Do I appear to be the type who raises someone else's children without reason?" Draco shouted.Bernard nodded and said, "You're right, sir. We'll send them away immediately.""Yes, sir!" the body
Draco had informed Casey that Evan's son had spent the previous night there, so the blood must belong to Axel.Casey walked toward the bathroom, and Axel panicked when he heard his footsteps. He didn't want anyone to discover his nosebleed, especially his busy father. He didn't want Evan to worry about him.Casey arrived at the bathroom entrance, where he noticed the bloody water in the basin and the blood on Axel's pale face.Axel was startled and stepped back, covering his nose when he saw Casey. He tried to stay calm and asked, "Who are you?"Casey blinked, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared. He now looked concerned and asked, "You're Evan's son, right? What happened to you?"Axel stared at Casey, unable to comprehend how his earlier intense gaze had faded so rapidly.Axel fibbed, "I tripped and hit my nose.""Should we get a doctor to check it?" Casey asked."No," Axel declined, pretending as if nothing was amiss. He proceeded to rinse his nose again.Casey briefly e
The deputy factory manager, Caleb Depp, had sustained injuries while dispersing the workers. He sat up in bed and greeted, "Ms. Shenton, you're here."Caleb's wife stood and offered her seat. "Please, have a seat, Ms. Shenton."Caroline smiled and signaled her bodyguard to place the gift basket down. Then, she sat and said, "Even though the police have already taken a statement, I'd like to inquire about some details."Caleb nodded. "I understand. Our mismanagement resulted in your financial loss.""Money is a minor concern. What matters is that we are all safe," Caroline replied with a faint smile.Caleb added, "You care deeply about everyone, Ms. Shenton. Honestly, I'm puzzled about the fire's cause. It originated in the warehouse, where the fabric was stored. But we inspected it diligently daily and noticed no fire hazards."Caroline nodded. "Hmm. The detective mentioned the same and hasn't ruled out deliberate arson."Caleb emphasized, "Absolutely! The warehouse is secured,
