Draco scoffed. "She's just a vixen who seduces men with her charms.""Father!" Casey sighed. "I don't think she's how you picture her to be. I bumped into her twice. She is a gentle and beautiful woman."Draco frowned. "Casey, did you fall for her?""Father, I won't snatch the woman Evan likes," Casey answered indifferently but exposed disappointment in his eyes.Feeling upset, Draco clenched the cup in his hand. "She's just a cheap and vulgar woman. I'll never allow her to be a part of the Jordan family. If you like her, you can fool her around. But never dream of marrying her!"Casey asked, "Father, what's her relationship with Evan?"Draco snorted. "They aren't together. She's just a mistress he once had."After that, he squinted and looked at Casey. "Casey, don't fall for such a woman.""Father, I'm sorry, but I may let you down," Casey whispered. Draco snarled, "There are so many women in the world! Why can't you forget about that vixen?""Father, I don't believe in lov
Caroline was stunned. 'Tomorrow? Oh, yeah. It is Paige's birthday!'She confessed guiltily, "I'm sorry that I nearly forgot about your birthday. How are you going to celebrate it this time around?"Paige said, "You're so busy that you forget about me. How are you going to make it up to me?" Caroline pondered briefly. "Why don't we go to Starry Campsite? I'll call them and ask them to prepare the tent and barbecue for us.""Sure!" Paige agreed to it. "We can discuss the details tonight.""Okay." After hanging, the two children smiled at Caroline. Liora chuckled. "Mommy, can I tag along?"Caroline smiled and answered, "Of course! I'm going to ask for leave for you and Ty. I'll take you out for fun."She had been so busy these days that she ignored the children. Now that she could finally relax, she should take them out for some fun."Oh, yeah!" Liora excitedly pecked Caroline's face."You like playing so much." Tyler smiled and purposely complained about Liora. Liora sno
Evan regained his wits. 'Caroline's smiling emoji was just a greeting.'Thus, he abruptly looked up at Reuben coldly. His face was aloof and awkward, full of unspeakable emotions.Reuben was confused. -In the afternoon, Caroline left the children in Neil's care before she changed into a gown and put on some light makeup. She then went to pick Alisa up with Kenny. It was already 6:00 p.m. when they arrived at the hall.As soon as Alisa got out of the car, she went alone to chat with others and enjoy the exhibition.Caroline looked at Kenny helplessly. "It looks like Alisa doesn't want to talk to me."Kenny was speechless, and his lips twitched while watching Alisa's back. "This old woman is wasting my time! I'll try and get her to the company two days later.""Carol!" Suddenly, Paige's voice came from behind Caroline.Caroline turned around and saw Paige in a bright red dress. She smiled and praised, "Well, red suits you more. You're charming."Kenny also gave Paige a t
Evan sneered and changed the topic. "Why didn't he attend such an important occasion with you today?""This occasion isn't as important as our kids." Caroline deliberately emphasized the word "our".Evan was enraged. Seeing that, Alex immediately tried to persuade him. "Evan, the runway show is starting soon. Let's go and sit down. If not, there'll be too many people later."Paige comforted Caroline after Evan was dragged away. "Carol, don't take it to heart."Caroline looked away aloofly. "I'm going to the washroom. You guys go ahead.""Let me go with you." Paige was worried about Caroline, so she gave Kenny a look before she left with her.While they were walking toward the washroom, Paige questioned, "Carol, can I take Pug with me tomorrow?"Caroline stopped in her tracks and looked at Paige seriously. "Is he your boyfriend now?""Yes." Paige touched her nose guiltily. "But don't worry. I'll make him hide everything from Evan. He won't know we'll go out together."Carol
"Father!" someone shouted not far away after the female worker's remark.Caroline and the elderly man turned their heads to see a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes hurrying towards them, looking nervous.Caroline was taken aback when she saw the man, wondering, 'Is that Joseph Gull from Merlin School?'She recognized him from her search for schools for her children. He was the principal of an internationally renowned school that included elementary, middle, and high schools.Joseph approached the elderly man anxiously and asked, "Father, why did you come here alone?"Sam Gull smiled warmly and replied, "I decided to take a leisurely stroll and check out the newly imported materials for our children's school clothes."Joseph smiled and sighed. "Father, you could have left this to me.""That's not necessary," Sam interrupted Joseph. "I've already found a suitable fashion company."With a grin, Sam turned his attention to Caroline and asked, "Miss, would your company be
As soon as Kenny said that, Alex suddenly got up and took another seat.There was only a vacant seat beside Evan now.At the same time, Alex patted the vacant chair beside him and asked Paige to sit beside him.Kenny glared at Alex. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Alex laughed it off. "I can't get the air-con there. I'm feeling too hot, so I changed my seat."Kenny's lips twitched as he scolded, "You motherfucking did it on purpose! You want Caroline to sit there!"Alex looked at him provocatively. "Why don't you change your seat instead?"Kenny cursed softly, "Fuck! I won't let Caroline suffer if Alisa isn't here."Evan glared at Kenny upon hearing that.Feeling the cold, Kenny shuddered but stubbornly refused to admit defeat. He snorted before he fell silent.Caroline was put in a dilemma. She pushed Paige. "Go ahead. I'll sit here."Paige stopped glaring at Alex. "Got it. Don't fight with Mr. Jordan."At that time, music was played for the runway show. Its noise gr
Two gunshots echoed immediately after that.Caroline screamed frightfully.However, Evan kept a stern expression as he took hold of Caroline's arms and guided her to sit on the floor.The surrounding guests started running away, shoving and pushing chairs. The chairs then knocked against people. Evan held Caroline tightly in his arms and spoke calmly. "Don't be scared. I'll get you out of here!"Alex's scream came from behind. "Evan! Watch your back!"Evan immediately turned around and saw a thin man trying to stab them with a sharp knife. Thus, Evan pulled Caroline up and quickly protected her behind him.The man with the knife slashed Evan's arm.Caroline widened her eyes and screamed, "Evan!"The attacker shouted crazily, "Fuck! You guys must die! I want to kill all fucking capitalists like you!"Evan looked indifferent as he covered his arm and kicked the attacker's chest before the latter could slash him again.Consequently, the attacker fell head first.Evan's bodygu
Alex frowned and said grumpily, "Hey, you weren't looking at Caroline so coldly!"Evan looked at him disdainfully. "Don't disgust me."Alex smiled. "I'm just joking. How about this? Let me tell you something since you're hurt."Evan became somber. "Don't beat around the bush. Talk!"Alex said, "Caroline is going to celebrate Paige's birthday with her tomorrow at Starry Campsite. Dude, I risk being dumped by telling you this."Evan asked, "Is that all?"Alex looked at him suspiciously. "Aren't you going?"Evan remained silent and turned to get out of the car, leaving Alex behind.Thus, Alex was confused. -When Evan was back at Villa Rosa, he saw Axel dozing off in the living room. "Why aren't you in bed?"Axel immediately opened his eyes when he heard Evan's voice. "I was waiting for you."Evan said, "It's late. You should be in bed. I'll go with you tomorrow to see your mother."Axel was stunned. Before he reacted, Evan added, "Don't turn me down or tell her!"Axel pu
