Caroline knocked expressionly on the glass, instantly capturing the attention of all the secretaries in the office. As they turned around and saw Caroline, they fell dead silent.With a smile on her face, Caroline entered the office and addressed them, "Why did the conversation suddenly stop when I arrived? Shouldn't I be included since I'm the one being talked about?"The secretaries exchanged nervous glances.Caroline held the documents in her hand as she approached the front table and shot them an icy gaze. "Perhaps you should dedicate your time to work rather than indulge in gossip about others."Placing the documents on the table, she continued, "Ms. Walker, as the head of the secretaries, you should set a better example instead of indulging in idle chat. Before you leave, kindly collect this month's salary from the finance department."Jane Walker widened her eyes and stood up abruptly. "Are you planning to fire me over this?"Caroline chuckled and retorted, "Is this your o
At Florencia Hospital.After completing the necessary hospitalization formalities, both Caroline and Paige returned to the ward.Daniella had been administered a sedative and was laying on the bed, her face pale.Meanwhile, a hint of guilt appeared on Evan's somber face as he looked at Daniella with concern.Caroline suppressed the bitterness in her heart and approached the medical case calmly. "Mr. Jordan, it's taken care of."However, Evan didn't accept it. "Ask Reuben if he has found Ella's medical records."Nodding, Caroline turned around and left the ward with Paige.Upon contacting Reuben, she honestly conveyed Evan's request.There was a brief silence on the phone before Reuben spoke. "She has suffered from severe psychological trauma since childhood, which led to regular sessions with a therapist and the use of psychotropic medication. I met with the former director to inquire, but the details were unclear. I'm now reaching out to the deputy director for more informatio
Daniella was left stunned. It didn't take long for her to realize who else, apart from Caroline, could elicit such a hurried and furious reaction from Evan.Why did Evan hold Caroline in such high regard? She was just a shameless mistress.With a gloomy expression, Daniella decided since Caroline wouldn't let her man go, she could not be blamed for taking matters into her own hands and acting ruthlessly..*After sharing her location with Evan, Caroline composedly placed her phone in her pocket. Jumping out of the car would be too dangerous. She needed to think rationally.Caroline closed her eyes and leaned against the car door, contemplating how to confront the situation ahead.Ten minutes later, the car came to a halt.She lifted her gaze and saw a dilapidated warehouse in front of her."Step out of the car!"Abruptly, the car door swung open, and a man seized her arm.Feigning fear, Caroline looked at the unfamiliar man before her. "Who are you? Why have you brought me he
He had finally arrived. A chilling intensity filled his eyes as he looked at Caroline, who was crouched on the floor.He directed a deadly glare at Mark. "Well, Mark, impressive, aren't you? How dare you kidnap my woman?"Mark quickly stood up, seeking refuge behind his secretaries, visibly trembling. "Uncle... Uncle Evan!"Evan approached him with a few swift steps, narrowing his eyes as he questioned, "So, you finally acknowledge that I'm your uncle, huh?"Mark's fear was palpable as he swallowed nervously.In a sudden realization, Mark glanced at Caroline. "Uncle Evan, I did arrange for someone to bring her here, but it was for your sake! You have no idea what I discovered earlier. She has ulterior motives against you. She despises you to the extent that she wants to poison you. You must trust me!"Evan glanced at Caroline, who stood composedly at the side, and smirked. "Well, since you've been so considerate, I suppose I should show you some appreciation."Turning to his b
Scott typed. [Your father came over last night and had a big fight with your mother. He even forced the hospital to give him your mother's medical fees.]Caroline furrowed her brows in concern. [Is my mother alright?]Scott explained. [I'm here with her. Don't worry. I gave him 150 dollars, and he backed down.]Caroline was taken aback. She couldn't fathom how her dad could have the audacity to take money from her mother's doctor.Although she disapproved of Scott's independent actions, she couldn't argue with the fact that he did it for her mother's sake.However, since it had happened once, she feared it might happen again.Pondering over it, she made up her mind to talk to him about it.After transferring 150 dollars to his account, she typed. [Dr. Wilson, thank you for helping my mother in this situation. But please don't give my father any money again. If he approaches you, tell him to come to me. Thank you.]Scott didn't decline because he knew Caroline disliked being ind
Despite her envy, Daniella she maintained her gentle and virtuous demeanor in front of everyone.A few hours later, they returned to Angelbay City. This time, Evan didn't ask Reuben to give Caroline a ride back to Villa Rosa. Instead, they went to the company together.Upon stepping back into the office that she hadn't seen in so long, Caroline was taken aback by the sight of the missing glass wall that once separated her office from the president's office. Now, it was transformed into a shared space. Her excitement about returning to the company instantly shattered.'Does he intend to monitor my every move and word?'A surge of anger ignited within her, and she stormed towards Evan, who was seated at his desk. "Don't you think you're crossing the line here?"Evan looked up calmly. "Are you upset?" 'Upset? How dare he ask me that? Would he accept being monitored in the same way?'Caroline gritted her teeth. "I don't feel like working right now. I want to leave." Evan's handso
Caroline's expression twisted with disdain. "If that's the case, then you better make sure to discipline her properly from now on. Tell her to stop finding fault with me all the time!"With those words, Caroline forcefully stormed out of the room, leaving Evan standing alone in his office, his brows furrowed in thought.After a moment, he retrieved his phone and dialed Reuben's number. "How's the investigation progressing?"Reuben's voice came through the line. "Mr. Jordan, the deputy dean has passed away, so we couldn't confirm anything. However, we did find the teacher who taught Ms. Love that year."He continued, "She explained that Ms. Love was bullied during that time, which caused her to suffer from some sort of trauma. But the orphanage covered it up." A dark cloud crossed Evan's face."There's another matter," Reuben added. "Go on," Evan urged."The dean informed me that the girl with the red mole on her earlobe went by the name Lyra. It's possible that Ms. Love chang
After that, there was total silence.. Caroline was speechless at the door, her mind filled with questions. 'Who is the child Mom is talking about? It can't possibly be me. I am definitely Dad's child. Yes, his behavior has changed drastically over the years, but he was always a responsible father when I was young.' Caroline shook her head, dismissing the wild thoughts from her mind.Opening the door and entering, she found Katie sitting on the bed with an angry expression."Mom, did you argue with Dad again?"Startled by her daughter's presence, Katie turned to look at Caroline with a hint of panic. "Why didn't you tell me you were here?"Caroline took a seat beside the bed. After a brief silence, she inquired, "Mom, what did you mean when you mentioned a child who isn't Dad's?"Avoiding eye contact, Katie replied, "It's a child from one of your father's relatives. It has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle in this."Caroline sensed something amiss, but she wasn't sure how t
