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
Evan explained nonchalantly, "With Caroline's troublesome relatives."Alex said, "Huh? Do you mean those we encountered at the restaurant?Evan smiled. "You have been very close with her recently. Aren't you going to help her out?"Alex was displeased. "Why aren't you doing that?"'Why should I do it when Evan has a longer relationship with Caroline than me and Paige? Moreover, I was almost incapacitated by Paige's kick this evening,' Alex complained inwardly.Evan sipped his drink. "I'm the most influential CEO of Southeast Rheasia, after all. I can't get involved in a women's fight."'You're aware that you're the most influential CEO now, but do you remember those five years of heavy drinking while searching for Caroline?' Alex mocked inwardly.Alex said, "If you can't get involved, do you think I can get involved?"Evan glanced at Alex. "You are a women's advocate and know how to manipulate them.""Are you complimenting me?" Alex was furious. A moment later, he heaved a s
Paige left Bayview Villa, and Alex followed suit, tailing her car until she reached her apartment.Ignoring him, Paige parked her car and stepped into the elevator.The moment Paige pressed the floor button, Alex managed to squeeze himself inside.Paige's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you crazy, Pug— Hmm!"Without hesitation, Alex grasped the back of Paige's head, leaned in, and kissed her passionately.Paige struggled to break free, but Alex held her hands firmly against his chest.After a moment, he pulled away, his breathing heavy. "I love you, Paige!"Paige was taken aback. "What?""I said, I love you!" Alex declared earnestly.For a moment, Paige was stunned, and then she burst into laughter. "You said it!"She playfully tugged at Alex's tie and kissed him deeply.Their passionate kiss continued until the elevator suddenly opened.An elderly man standing outside dropped his garbage bag in astonishment at the sight before him.Startled by the noise, Paige and Alex ab
Caroline observed Naomi's reaction, but all she received was an indifferent nod.She turned her gaze away and gently patted Naomi's shoulder. "I appreciate your efforts. Once the company is in a better state, I'll ensure you receive a raise.""Thank you, Ms. Shenton," Naomi replied.-Caroline hurried back to Bayview Villa and took Jamie outside for some fresh air. Treating Jamie to a meal outside was the key to getting her to take her medicine.Seeing Jamie's improved spirits, Caroline reassured her, "I understand that staying home can be dull, Jamie. However, I need to work to earn money. I promise to take you out every weekend and go for walks with you at night when I'm free. Will that be acceptable?"Jamie looked at Caroline with a touch of sadness. "Carol, did I disrupt your work today?"Caroline answered frankly, "Yes."She didn't shy away from being honest with Jamie because she needed to resolve this situation. Otherwise, she would end up sacrificing her job productivit
