Clara's explanation wouldn't matter now!She felt like her laptop caught a virus when she connected it to the projector.Daniella exploded, grabbing Clara's jaw and forcefully tilting her head back. "How can you claim ignorance?" She demanded. "Tell me the truth!"Clara cried, "I really don't know. Maybe the IT department can check my laptop—"Before Clara could finish, Daniella slapped her. "You brought the laptop and prepared the presentation! And now you're saying you know nothing?"Tears streamed down Clara's face. "Daniella, we're friends. You can distrust me, but don't insult me!"Daniella scoffed. "Friends? You're just a low-level employee. Look in the mirror! I wouldn't keep you around if you had no talent!"Clara stammered, "W-What are you saying?"Daniella smirked. "You'll face the consequences since the incident leaked from your laptop!"Clara shivered. "W-What do you mean?"With a cold glare, Daniella ordered, "Come!"A few bodyguards entered the room. Daniella g
Jade blinked, confused. "What do you mean by followers?" Brandon explained, "Mom, it means I'm about to become a popular influencer!" Jade remained puzzled. "What's that?" "It's a way to make money! Haven't you seen people online selling things as influencers? We can do the same! Who knows if this woman will keep providing for us in the future? We'll just make use of the advantages she brought us first!"Jade suddenly understood. "So, you're planning to sell things online, too?" "Yes, we can sell our farm's eggs, potatoes, and sweet potatoes!" Jade grew excited. "Wow, I was worried those crops would go to waste, but you've come up with a way to turn them into cash so quickly!" "Mom, I'll head back for a few days and arrange for someone to bring those items here for a live-streaming sale! The house is spacious and mostly empty. Try to see if she'd be interested in buying us a house! This villa is great, and the unit next door is still available. It would be convenient to st
Daniella dropped to her knees from the impact, drawing the attention of passersby.Caroline was shocked—she never expected her children to retaliate to avenge her."You scoundrels!" Daniella scolded, lifting her head to find Caroline standing above her.Daniella tried to stand, but Caroline pressed down on her shoulder.Caroline leaned over with a wide smile and said, "The kids accidentally bumped into you. You won't take it personally, will you?"She pinched Daniella's shoulder tightly and helped her to her feet. Then, she patted Daniella's shoulder gently and added, "Be graceful. People are watching."Daniella forced a strained smile and replied, "Why would I make a scene with kids?"Caroline smiled and said, "Perfect. We'll head upstairs now. Goodbye!"As Caroline and her children walked away, Daniella seethed. She wouldn't tolerate this if Casey wasn't in the restaurant.Daniella dusted herself off and limped into the restaurant, heading to the private room Casey had reser
Casey smiled. "Did the company's opening go smoothly today?"Daniella was furious when she recalled the unbearable incident but hid her feelings well. "Pretty good. Mr. Jordan, may I be so bold as to ask you a question?" Daniella asked. She had been engaged to Evan before and wondered why Casey didn't know about her. She thought he should have at least heard her name before."Please go ahead.""You're a member of the Jordans, right?" Daniella asked bluntly. Casey's fingers moved. "Yes, but my identity is not very important to me."Daniella frowned. "Don't you know who I am then, Mr. Jordan?"Casey explained, "My father sent me abroad for a long time, so I'm not up to date with the situation here."He gazed up, smiled, and inquired, "Do you have something to share with me?"Daniella was surprised by his lack of awareness. She found it odd that Evan hadn't informed his brother about her situation.Daniella realized she couldn't keep it hidden any longer. Otherwise, Casey mi
Jade still seemed to be plotting something, her gaze fixed on Caroline's watch. But her expression turned joyful when Caroline made that remark.She thought it was a fair trade—signing a contract for a house. And since the property deed would be in her name, she couldn't lose the house.Caroline grinned. "Okay, I'll arrange for the lawyer. Just sign, and the house is yours."Jade was so happy that Caroline's presence pleased her. "Caroline, I'm your aunt anyhow. Let's argue less and be more spontaneous—"Before Jade could continue, Caroline interrupted her.After returning to her room, Caroline messaged her lawyer, adding a few necessary clauses to the contract.-The next day, Caroline bumped into Brandon coincidentally as he was leaving. He greeted her warmly after hearing that she would buy them a house. "I'm going back to the family home first, Caroline!"Caroline smiled. "Safe travels.""Hehe, I'll bring back some gifts for you since we're going to be neighbors soon!" Bra
At Xander Residence.Daniella spotted Grayson on the sofa, his face clouded with glum, while Neil occupied the other one. She looked at Neil and speculated Grayson was probably scolding him.Slowly, she descended the stairs.At the sound of her footsteps, Grayson spun around and bellowed, "Come down here, quickly!"Astonished, Daniella asked, "Are you addressing me, Grandpa?""Who else would we be waiting for?" Grayson's voice thundered.As she approached Grayson, her heart raced. She questioned him softly, "What's the matter, Grandpa?"Grayson hurled a stack of photos toward Daniella.The images scattered, revealing distressing scenes—all of them related to her.Daniella went numb, her body trembling uncontrollably."How do you plan to explain this? Your company just started, yet your employees know about your scandalous past!" Grayson's voice was harsh.As Grayson berated her, Daniella began to piece things together as she glanced briefly at the photos. She then fixed a fi
Grayson scoffed. "You say this all the time, but have you ever kept your word? Someone died because of you this time!"Daniella's body trembled. "I'll follow your orders and ask for your permission next time, Grandpa. Please save me!"Grayson grew irritated seeing Daniella constantly cry. He sighed and told Neil, "Let this matter go and act like you haven't heard anything."Neil clenched his fists but remained composed. "Alright, I got it. I'll be back to help with the birthday party. Goodbye!"After Neil left, Grayson made calls to have Daniella's bodyguards interrogated and punished. His aim was to ensure Daniella's safety.-Paige bumped into Alex in his car as she left work in the evening.Alex had been waiting for Paige in his car for a while. When he spotted her, he hurriedly exited the vehicle and called out, "Paige!"Ignoring him, Paige continued toward the parking lot.Alex caught up to her and walked beside her. "Are you still upset about the other day, Paige?"Paig
When Paige entered the house, she heard the voices of two strangers."Mom, those two mean kids won't let me play with anything," Gigi complained."What won't they share with you?" Jade asked."The laptop and the tablet! Tyler won't let me touch them! He said I'm not worthy," Gigi cried.Jade exploded. "This is ridiculous! Come on, I'll handle it!"They left the living room and ran into Paige.Paige was surprised. She wondered, 'What is that little girl talking about? Did she say Tyler won't let her use his laptop? No one can touch Ty's laptop, yet she's trying to get her mother to take it by force?'The woman who doesn't seem kind called that ridiculous? Who's the ridiculous one in someone else's house, huh?!'Paige was already angry, and it only intensified when she realized that Tyler was about to be bullied.She walked further into the house and said, "Stay there!"Jade looked at Paige with confusion. She examined Paige and asked, "Who are you?""I was about to ask you th
