After inspecting the factory, it was time to pick up the children from school. Caroline bid farewell to Alex and headed to the kindergarten.Once the kids got in the car, Caroline decided to mentally prepare them. "Ty, Lia, I need to tell you something."Liora blinked, curiosity in her eyes. "What is it?"Caroline sighed. "Some relatives from my father's side are staying with us. They didn't behave well and accidentally caused your Lego castle to collapse."Liora gasped. "What? Why would they ruin the castle we worked so hard on?"Tyler's smile faded as he listened."Some people lack manners, but I want you to remember something," Caroline advised. "You must always protect yourselves, no matter what happens. Do you understand?"Tyler inquired, "How long will they be staying?"Caroline replied, "I'm not sure."Tears welled up in Liora's eyes. "Mommy, they bullied you too, didn't they?"Caroline embraced Liora. "I can handle myself. Don't worry about me."Liora clung to her mo
Afterward, Caroline led Tyler and Liora upstairs to wash up. It was necessary, given their contact with dirty things.However, Jade intercepted her, blocking her path. "Wait! What do you mean? What did my child do wrong? Why did your rude child bully her?"Caroline's gaze turned icy, and she replied slowly, "Excuse me?"Taken aback by Caroline's stare, Jade stammered, "I... I'll say it again. I'm not afraid of you. Your child—""It's so noisy..."Suddenly, Jamie's voice echoed from downstairs.Jade trembled with fear, falling silent immediately. She turned, picked up the crying Gigi, covered her mouth, and hurriedly retreated into the washroom.Jamie blinked in confusion, then tilted her head to observe Liora, whose eyes were red.Concerned, Jamie approached her, her face showing irritation at the sight of saliva on Liora's face. "Who bullied you?"Liora bit her lip and replied, "Madam, that woman bullied Tyler, Mommy, and me."Jamie stormed toward the restroom and slammed th
Daniella had finally found an exceptional man, and she didn't want to lose him. Thus, she texted him.Daniella: [Mr. Jordan, I apologize for my earlier rudeness. I won't bother you unless it's important.]Casey: [Ms. Love, you don't need to be so formal. I can make it next time.]Daniella was a bit surprised. It seemed like he hadn't rejected her intentionally.As she contemplated this, she messaged the technician from Evan's company she had bribed before.Daniella: [I'll give you 7,000 dollars. Please investigate if Casey Jordan is married or not. He's your boss' older brother. Be sure to check the right person.]Technician: [Okay, I'll get back to you by tomorrow afternoon.]Afterward, she checked her social media and found an intriguing post.[What's it like to stay in the villa of TYC Fashion's CEO?]Curious, she clicked on it and examined all the villa photographs. When she spotted a picture of Caroline and her two children, she couldn't help but chuckle.'Caroline's rel
"Alas, you've been talking about that endlessly," Jade remarked. "I didn't expect a meal to be so expensive. The shops in the city are ruthless."Gregory suggested, "So, you should listen to me. Let's go out to eat with them tomorrow. It's free. We can spend the money ourselves.""No, we shouldn't spend it. We have to save it. Since we're living here, she should pay for our expenses. I'll make her buy us a house eventually," Jade insisted.Brandon chimed in. "Mom, what a great idea! Large, flat houses are popular in the city. We should check them out."Jade nodded. "Sure, let's check them out."When Jamie overheard their conversation, she clenched her fists in frustration, thinking, 'No! Carol is in trouble. I must help her!'-After Caroline finished her bath downstairs, she called Neil.Neil answered, "Carol, are you still busy at this late hour?"Caroline pinched her brow in exhaustion and replied, "No, I'd like to ask for your help with something."Neil put down his docum
"Evan, it wasn't easy for her either. Don't let the children stop you from moving on," Alex advised.Suppressing his anger, Evan asserted himself. "Then explain why she had two more kids with Neil if she was so sad.""Maybe it's her way of coping," Alex suggested.Evan erupted, hurling his glass. "Coping? Is her coping mechanism being with another man?"Since Daniella could take Caroline's child, she might harm the others. Men can't fathom women's jealousy!"Evan's hostile eyes narrowed. "I'll investigate this."Alex sighed. 'This won't be easy.'He had a feeling that Daniella was more complicated than she appeared and that she had a powerful backer!What was Daniella's role in the murder case from years ago if Caroline wasn't the culprit? Was she just an innocent victim?He refused to believe that!-On Saturday, Caroline let her children sleep in rather than waking them for breakfast. She preferred they interact less with the people downstairs.At 10:30 a.m., Liora and Tyl
Fitting so many people into a regular car would be really tough. Thankfully, it was a minivan.Caroline was just about to ask when a shout came from the door."Wait for me! I'm coming too!" Jamie rushed out, with Freya following closely behind.The Shentons were instantly shocked by the voice."Fuck! The crazy woman is coming too?!" Brandon said fearfully.Gregory was trembling. "I don't want to go anymore! I'm getting out!"But Jamie had already squeezed herself into the car as their voices faded.The Shentons cowered in fear.Caroline sneered, not expecting Jamie to have such an effect on them.Jamie glared at the Shentons, then turned to Caroline. "I want to come too, Carol.""Sure," Caroline agreed.Tyler and Liora giggled on the side. 'These people are so scared of Madam Jamie, huh?'The Shentons remained silent and kept their distance from Jamie during the journey.-Upon arriving at the restaurant, the Shentons scrambled out of the car as if their lives depended on
The patrons snickered in secret as they watched the Shentons making a scene."That person definitely deserved the slaps.""You're absolutely right!"Freya felt the urge to step in, but Caroline held her back. "Let's wait for the waiter."Freya could only nod in agreement.-Meanwhile, outside the restaurant.Alex eased his Ferrari to a stop at the red light. Out of boredom, he gazed out of the window, and his attention was drawn to the restaurant across the street. Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief.Acting swiftly, Alex rolled down the window and fixed his gaze on a woman in a white dress striking someone."Isn't that Evan's mother?" he exclaimed.Without hesitation, Alex grabbed his phone and dialed Evan's number.When Evan answered, Alex sounded anxious. "Evan, I just saw your mother at Fidelio Restaurant. You need to come here quickly!"'Fidelio Restaurant? Why would my mother be there?' Evan wondered.Frowning, Evan responded, "I'm on my way. Keep an eye on her."
Jade stole glances at Evan, admiring his handsome appearance. She nudged Gregory, who was devouring his meal, and said, "Greg, this man looks good and well-dressed. He seems wealthy! The daughter of my distant cousin's nephew, who lives in my younger sister's house at the village entrance, has high standards for men. She'll surely like someone like him!"Gregory struggled to grasp the complex family connections for a moment before replying, "Oh, that one! Certainly!"Excitedly, Jade declared, "I'm going over to talk to him!"She stood up, walked over to his table, and pulled up a chair. "Hello there, handsome. Are you married?"Evan furrowed his brow and glanced at Caroline, his face darkening when he noticed her lack of reaction.In contrast, Alex seemed intrigued. "Ma'am, he's single but has a child."Jade looked concerned and asked, "So, he's divorced with a child? That can be complicated. How old is the child?"Alex replied promptly, "Five.""Five years old? That might be a
