Caroline took a deep breath and wiped her tears away."Evan, things can't go back to how they were," she said before turning and leaving.Evan was torn apart, recalling her words as he watched her go. Despite the excruciating pain, he resisted the urge to run after her, choosing instead to bury his pain deep in his heart.-When Caroline returned to Bayview Villa, the two children rushed over to her. Liora hugged her leg and sobbed, looking up at her. "Mommy, where did you go? I couldn't find you."Caroline felt bitterness well up in her. She squatted down and hugged Liora, saying, "I didn't come home last night because of something. I forgot to tell you guys. I'm sorry."Tyler noticed the dark circles under Caroline's eyes and asked in worry, "Mommy, did you stay up all night yesterday?"Caroline nodded. "Yes, I had some things to take care of. Did you have breakfast?""Yes, we did!" Liora hugged Caroline's neck tightly. "Axel had someone deliver it to us. Mommy, promise never
"Motherfucker! How can you still sleep?" Brandon roared.Caroline opened her eyes in exhaustion and slowly supported her body to look at Brandon coldly. "Don't you have any manners?""Motherfucking manners!" Brandon cursed. "How could you block my account? Are you upset with me having live streams at your home?" Caroline was about to speak when Tyler and Liora rushed out of their room. They saw Brandon standing there as if he wanted to harm their mother.Liora quickly pushed him and shouted, "Why are you hurting my mommy?"Brandon was already angry, and Liora's push only worsened things. He turned and grabbed Liora's hair, grinding his teeth. "You jerk! It's none of your business. Get out of here!"After that, he pushed Liora to the floor."Lia!" Caroline and Tyler shouted in unison.Tyler quickly pulled Liora up while the latter was in a trance. He stood before her and leered at Brandon. "Scumbag!" Caroline was terrified. She quickly pushed the blanket aside and ran to Lior
Brandon then turned and ran back to his room with his tail between his legs. Caroline looked at Jamie and thanked her.Jamie raised her fists. "Carol, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on them when you go to work tomorrow."Caroline didn't feel like talking much. She just nodded and walked over to Liora. When she noticed Liora's puffy, red eyes, she embraced her with a heavy heart.Freya reassured them, saying, "She's okay. Just some of her hair got pulled out."Caroline was overcome by heart-wrenching pain, struggling to catch her breath. She stroked Liora's head tenderly and admitted, "Sweetheart, I couldn't protect you."Liora buried her tearful face in Caroline's arms, clutching her clothes tightly. "Mommy... I don't want to see that mean man anymore. I want him to go away. I hate him."Liora's sobs wracked her body.Caroline held back her anger and consoled her, "Hmm, I promise. I'll make them leave in the next couple of days, okay?"Liora sobbed and nodded silently, ponderi
Jamie simply let out an "Oh" before slowly taking out a kitchen knife and approaching them again. "I'll chop everyone up if no one admits to it."The Shentons widened their eyes frightfully.In the next second, their screams filled the villa as they tried to outdo one another and ran out of Brandon's room.-At night, Kenny returned while yawning repeatedly. When he saw the vacant living room, he was stupefied. 'Did G drive those people out?'Soon, that thought was dispelled by Gigi, who ran downstairs. As Gigi walked past him, she abruptly halted. She observed him scornfully and remarked, "Such a shameless man, living in someone else's home!"Kenny was baffled since he was scolded out of the blue. He went forward and grabbed her. "Who were you talking about?""You!" Gigi answered. "Bah! Fucking foreigner! If it weren't for you, your room would be mine!"Kenny laughed. "Yours, right? Fine!"After that, he walked to the storeroom to get a wooden broom and started chasing
Brandon was over the moon. "Mom, we'll take this. I'll sell it to someone." Jade said, "Fine! I'll leave this to you. Your father and I will handle the jewelry.""Let's make it quick. We should set off after breakfast," Brandon suggested. The Shentons nodded one after another. They walked out of the study to go downstairs and cook breakfast.They all squeezed into the kitchen to save time. Unexpectedly, Jamie was staring at them as she slowly walked into the kitchen. Gregory had just finished frying eggs. He wanted to serve the dish but bumped into someone when he turned around.He was so scared that he nearly dropped the plate. As such, he looked up and wanted to see who the insensible person was.When he saw Jamie, he dropped the plate in fear. The crisp sound of the plate falling on the floor subconsciously made Brandon and Jade turn around.They shuddered upon seeing Jamie and quickly retreated to a corner.After Gregory snapped back to his senses, he screamed and r
Caroline scoffed. "When did I trick you? You guys took my belongings without my permission. That's theft."What's more, a company's confidential documents are extremely valuable. This amounts to corporate espionage, as you intended to sell them."Jade pushed Brandon aside and confronted Caroline with anger. "Did you witness us taking it?""I didn't have to witness it," Caroline replied calmly. "There's something called a surveillance system."Jade's expression changed, but after a moment, she recalled there were no surveillance cameras in Caroline's study or cloakroom.'She's probably trying to test me,' Jade thought."Surveillance system, huh?" Jade placed her hands on her hips. "Well then, show it to me! If you can't provide evidence, I'll make sure you pay for falsely accusing me!"Caroline turned to the police and requested, "Please show them the surveillance footage I gave you."A police officer nodded and retrieved a tablet, displaying the footage for the Shentons.Upon
John said excitedly, "Ms. Shenton, you should check out the hot topics properly. Someone interviewed our factory workers!""Interview?" Caroline was stunned and took out her phone to check.The second hot topic became popular during the few minutes she walked into the company just now.[Shocking! How does the CEO of TYC Fashion treat her employees?]Caroline clicked on the video and watched it carefully. She found Caleb and all the factory workers raising their compensation contracts in front of the camera.They told the reporters how Caroline aided them financially when they were hospitalized and lost their jobs. There were endless good comments about the video. A lot of people encouraged others to buy clothes from TYC Fashion.Hence, TYC Fashion's sales increased more than thrice in a brief time.Caroline felt a surge of relief, thinking, 'Finally, everything is falling into place.'The repairs on her original factory had begun, doubling her clothing production. Simultaneou
Caroline felt like she had received a fatal blow. She then asked bitterly, "Your team didn't cause our company any real loss. Why did you do that?"She did not know what she should say to thank Kenny's earnest sacrifices to the company. Although Kenny was a playboy, he was strict in choosing women to satisfy his needs.All the women he was with looked like his first love. Even if the other women were pretty, he would not be interested in them. Alisa did not resemble his first love at all, and she was at such an age.He might have struggled hard internally before leaving Angelbay City.No wonder he lied to Caroline that his mother was going to get married before he went abroad.Kenny snorted. "Well, I didn't force myself."Caroline sighed. "Alright, I'll attend the exhibition with you."-Caroline picked up the children in the evening. During the car ride, Liora appeared dejected. "Mommy, I don't want to go home."Caroline felt very sorry for Liora when she saw the deep u
