Evan's tired expression deepened, and he said, "Please, let me know right away if there's a problem. I'll arrange for someone to deliver my mother's medicine. Also, I could really use your help looking after Axel for two days while I'm away on a business trip.""Axel is my kid. No need to ask for help. It's my duty," Caroline said, looking at Axel still in the car. She smiled and asked, "You coming out, dear?"Axel picked up his backpack and exited the car. He approached Caroline and said, "I didn't want to interrupt your talk with Daddy, Mommy."Caroline affectionately pinched Axel's cheek. "You don't need to be so cautious when you're with me. Relax and stay here. I've arranged for a doctor to look after Grandma every day."Evan was taken aback by the sight of Axel's smile directed at Caroline. It felt unfamiliar as if he had never witnessed Axel smiling before.While observing their interaction, a sudden thought struck Evan. 'Maybe Axel could change for the better if he stayed
Gregory said, "Even if the child has money, it won't come to our hands!"Jade glanced at Gregory. "It's true that the money won't come to us, but we can give the outfit to our daughter! She's going to look so elegant!"Gregory nodded. "That makes sense!"Jade said, "Moreover, the child looks like a foolish, rich kid. We'll save money if we take him out and make him pay for our meals, right?"Gregory's eyes lit up. "You're smart!""Of course! Let's take him out over the weekend!""Sure! You call the shots!""I'm home, Mom! Please come help me!" Jade and Gregory heard Brandon shout from outside after they had finished scheming.Curious, they hurried outside and were amazed to see a sleek black car parked right in front of the door.Brandon stuck out his head. "Mom, look at my newly purchased car!"Jade approached in shock. She wanted to touch it but did not have the courage to do so. "How much does it cost?"Brandon said, "A little over 100,000 dollars! It looks great, right?"
Jamie's body shook violently, prompting Caroline to embrace her while she gazed in astonishment toward the restaurant's entrance.This reaction from Jamie occurred after she had spotted a man who had already left.Caroline didn't dwell on it too much. She was accustomed to Jamie relapsing whenever she encountered other men.Not far away, in a parked car, Casey stared at Jamie with a cold, calculating look. He recognized the woman beside Jamie as Evan's former mistress.With a sneer, Casey removed his glasses and leisurely cleaned the lenses. He hadn't anticipated that Caroline would still be alive.A moment later, Casey put his glasses back on, and his phone began to ring. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Daniella, so he answered slowly.Daniella's voice was gentle as she inquired, "Are you available tonight, Mr. Jordan? Can I treat you to a drink?"Casey smirked. "Sure, send me the address. I'll be there."-At 7:30 p.m., Casey and Daniella met at a hotel's bar.Ca
Draco had grown fond of Jamie and made her his third wife. But Evan's mother, still young, never cared for Draco. She despised him when Evan was a teenager. Thus, she had made significant efforts to seduce Casey, who had only been slightly younger than her.Casey, 29 and full of youthful vigor, had found it hard to resist the allure of such a beautiful woman.However, Casey had made a grave error by succumbing to Evan's mother's advances, engaging in multiple encounters with her.Unable to keep it a secret any longer, Casey finally confessed the truth to Draco.Draco had banished Casey from the country for a harsh 15 years in a fit of anger.Casey looked at Daniella in agony and asked, "Do you think I'm filthy too?"Daniella was shocked but sympathized with him. She shook her head and said, "No. It was her fault, not yours."Casey burrowed his head, sobbed, and said, "Thank you."Daniella felt happy that Casey was willing to talk to her about the important issue, but she also
Caroline stared at her phone, puzzled. Kenny hadn't shared his arrival time for tomorrow.Unable to sleep, Caroline descended the stairs.Upon seeing the Shentons' mess in the living room, she massaged her throbbing head. As she moved toward the kitchen, a terrible smell hit her. Opening the kitchen door, she was shocked by what she found.The floor was covered in chicken waste, and one of the chickens had even hopped onto the counter, spreading waste all over the beige surface!Caroline gripped the doorknob tightly to control herself. She wouldn't tolerate their careless behavior in her house if it weren't for the timing.Once upstairs, Caroline exhaled deeply. It was time to put her plan into action.-Caroline woke the three children at 7:30 a.m.Liora was so lethargic she could not even hold up her head. "I had a tummy ache last night. I can't get up…" she said weakly."Me too, Mommy.""Me too…"Caroline said concerningly, "Is it bad? Would you like me to take you to the
Liora pouted. "It's none of your business that I'm not at school!"Jade stared straight at Axel and ignored Liora. She suddenly laughed aloud after watching for a while. "Handsome boy, you just got here. Please allow me to take you to lunch as the host."Tyler and Liora almost laughed, thinking, 'Who's the host here, huh?'Axel was not good at declining, so he nodded rigidly. Tyler and Liora were shocked. "I'm not comfortable with you just taking Axel out. I'm coming too!" Liora said and looked at Jade vigilantly. Jade was reluctant to bring along the two annoying children. However, she could not care if they were joining since she did not have to pay for their meals. The Shentons dressed up and headed to the restaurant with the triplets. There, they ordered the most expensive meals that filled the table. Tyler and Liora stared at Jade, wondering, 'Did she strike gold or something?'Jade said to Axel courteously, "Handsome boy, eat! The food is expensive!"Axel grabbed h
Tyler purposefully raised his voice. "Hey, Lia, remember that time someone won a million bucks in the lottery?"Tyler pinched Liora's arm and winked at her. She quickly caught on and nodded, saying, "Of course, I do!"Overhearing their chat, Jade turned her focus to the lottery machine upon hearing about the million-dollar prize.'Can a person win 1,000,000 dollars from this machine?' she wondered.Just as Jade was doubtful, Brandon said, "I know this! My friend won a few hundred dollars from this machine!"Brandon's remark dispelled Jade's doubts instantly. Tyler and Liora held back their laughter. It was a fortunate accident. Axel smirked at the sight of his siblings' suppressed laughter. Jade studied the machine and bought a few tickets that cost 1 dollar each. Tyler said, "It's useless to buy such a small amount. Moreover, you won't win 1,000,000 dollars with a 1-dollar ticket."Jade frowned. "How should I buy it then?"Tyler pondered briefly before saying, "I read
Brandon seethed with anger because Jade had wagered the entire family fortune.He turned to Tyler and asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying we didn't win anything?"Tyler replied, "What do you mean by not winning? Didn't you get 4,000 dollars earlier? You can't blame me for your bad luck, can you?""You! You're a cheat!" Jade snarled, pointing a shaky finger at Tyler.Gregory was too shocked to speak.Tyler's smile vanished as he addressed the Shentons, "You wanted to use the app, and I didn't force you. I didn't finish my sentence earlier as you were in such a rush to play! No luck-based game has a 100% success rate, don't you understand?"Jade couldn't be bothered to listen anymore. She burst into tears and accused, "You cheated my money at such a young age!"The passersby looked over at the woman accusing a child of swindling."How can you blame the child when you played?""The child looks to be about five or six. How could he possibly swindle money?""She's blaming the
