"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,
Paige grinned. "Sure! If you don't like 'Pug,' I'll just call you 'Puggy' instead. Do you fancy that?"Alex's lips twitched as he responded, "Alright then, 'Pug' it is. But now, what's on your mind?"Paige replied, "I need your help to analyze something. My brain's not cooperating.""Can you get me a drink?" Alex asked."Absolutely! However, I'm a bit cash-strapped from throwing Carol's birthday party, so don't choose an expensive spot!"Alex chuckled. "I will definitely choose an expensive spot to match the nickname you've given me then.""Fuck you!"-Caroline and Naomi were searching for a clothing factory to fulfill their order quickly.However, none of the five factories they visited could accommodate their request, as they were all booked months in advance.Naomi suggested, "There are two more options. Should we check those out?"Caroline replied, "Which ones are those?""MK's clothing factory and—""Nope, if the others are busy, I doubt MK will have any room for us.
Alex received a call from Reuben late at night, informing him about Evan's decision. After the call, he headed to the bar and spotted Paige in the VIP booth.As he approached, Paige wasted no time in berating him. "Pug, what's wrong with you?"Alex smiled, removed his jacket, and quipped, "Are you mad because I kept you waiting for 30 minutes?"Paige glared at him. "I can't stand people who aren't on time!""Alright, calm down. I'll buy you drinks tonight, okay?" Alex offered."Sure!" Paige's mood shifted, and she giggled, accepting the offer.Alex steered the conversation back to business. "Let's get back to the point. What do you need from me?"Pouring a drink, Paige said, "I assume you've heard about the incident at Carol's factory. Something doesn't add up. Excluding Kenny—""Hold on! What do you mean, 'excluding Kenny'?" Alex interrupted.Paige blinked innocently. "Kenny's out of the country, and he owes Carol a favor, so he wouldn't do anything to harm her."Alex scoffe
Alex shifted the conversation's focus. "I need to ask you something.""What's up?" Paige inquired.Alex got to the point. "Is Caroline looking to partner with a clothing factory?"Paige replied, "It's pretty obvious. She needs to complete her order soon!""Could you help me set up a meeting with her?" Alex asked.Paige eyed him suspiciously. "Just get to it!""I'd like to offer my factory for her use temporarily.""Why didn't you say so sooner? I'll arrange the meeting tomorrow!" Paige exclaimed.-At 8:00 p.m., Caroline woke up to find Neil speaking quietly on the phone.Neil was momentarily surprised to see Caroline awake. He said quietly to the phone, "Mommy's here. I'll let you talk to her."Neil placed the phone next to Caroline's ear. "It's the kids."Caroline was surprised. "Hello?""Mommy!" Liora's joyful voice came through. "Tyler and I are home. When are you coming back?"Caroline coughed and perked up. "You're home? When did you get back?""We've been home sin
