Jamie was surprised, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. "Will it really take that long? I wanted to give the children a surprise." Caroline took Jamie's hand and said, "Yes, it will take a while. So, can we go upstairs and rest for now? We have to go to the company together tomorrow, and I don't want to sleep too late." Jamie looked at Caroline pleadingly. "Carol, Dr. Bailey has left, and I don't want to sleep alone." Caroline smiled. "Alright, you can sleep with me." Jamie smiled immediately and held Caroline's hand tightly. "Okay, let's go upstairs!" -At 10:00 p.m., in a coffee shop.Daniella sat in a private room with a reporter. She had her sunglasses on. She sipped her coffee casually and said, "So that's what happened." The reporter tapped away on his laptop and said, "Ms. Love, let me summarize it again. You said, the mother of MK's CEO, Evan Jordan, was a diplomat. After marrying Draco Jordan, she even seduced Casey Jordan. This caused Casey Jordan to
Caroline: [I don't have a conscience? Why don't you take care of this family then?] After replying, Caroline got up and washed up. As she finished brushing her teeth, she received a message from Evan.Evan: [Last night, I went overboard with my words.] Caroline conceded upon seeing his message. She hadn't originally intended to reply, but then she noticed the typing indicator on the screen. She decided to wait and see what he would send next. About a few minutes later, she received another message.Evan: [What are you busy with today?] Caroline sighed.Caroline: [What exactly are you trying to say?] Evan's face darkened when he saw the message. Wasn't he being clear enough? He suppressed his frustration and replied: [Won't you come to the hospital today?] Caroline leaned against the sink, feeling exasperated as she typed her response.Caroline: [You want me to come to the hospital just so we can argue again? And listen to you say nonsensical things?] Evan countere
Caroline pinched her eyebrows and said, "Once you have the surgical plan ready, give me your contact details. Once I've confirmed it, you can carry out the surgery." Seeing that Caroline had relented, the doctor was overjoyed. "That's great!" Jamie stood by the bed and looked at Lily. She pointed and said, "Carol, is this your mother?" "No, this is Lily. She took good care of me for five years," Caroline said as she sat down by the bed. She looked at Lily with a bitter gaze. "Lily is like family to me. Both my biological mother and my adoptive mother have passed away." Five years had passed, and she hadn't visited her adoptive mother's grave. She was afraid that Katie would blame her for being useless, as she still couldn't bring her murderer to justice. Jamie's heart ached upon seeing the tears rolling down Caroline's cheeks. She picked up a tissue to gently wipe them away. Caroline looked up in shock. Jamie placed her hands on Caroline's cold face, smiled faintly, and
Caroline was startled by the commotion behind her. By the time she looked behind, Jamie had already shoved her away and clutched Evan's throat. She pinned Evan on the bed and shouted ferociously, "It's you! It's all you! You ruined me! I want you dead!"Caroline was terrified and hastily threw away the chicken soup in her hand to stop Jamie. "Jamie! It's Evan! Let go of him!"Evan did not move, and his face flushed from the suffocation. His eyes were filled with pain and sorrow as he said with great effort, "Don't hurt her!"Caroline ignored him and continued to hold onto Jamie. "Calm down, please? Evan's ribs are broken! Don't pin him down with your legs!"Yet, Jamie disregarded Caroline, so the latter called for help. Soon, the nurses came and called for the doctor after witnessing the situation in the room. The doctor came with a sedative and injected Jamie with it. Jamie lost her strength gradually and collapsed next to Evan. The doctor rushed over to check on Evan,
Naomi said, "Yes, he is waiting in the reception area. Would you like me to bring him in?"Caroline immediately stood up. "Please send him in now!"Naomi headed out to bring in the guest while Caroline prepared drinks. She must be diligent for TYC's first collaborative project. Joseph Gull entered, and Caroline held out her hand to him. "Hello, Mr. Gull."Joseph smiled and shook Caroline's hand. "Your office has a very warm ambiance, Ms. Shenton."Caroline said, "Thank you for your compliment."They both sat on the sofa, where Caroline poured Joseph a cup of coffee. "Please drink, Mr. Gull."Joseph said, "Thank you. I'm here today to check on your opinion on the students' summer school uniform."Caroline said, "Frankly, it's my first time designing a school uniform. So, I would like to listen to your opinion, too."Joseph looked at Caroline in astonishment because she was the first person who sought his opinion.He did not answer immediately but said, "Tell me about your und
Caroline was about to speak when Kenny said, "Nah, you can still take care of him as a friend. He got hurt because of you anyway."Caroline was relieved. "Alright, don't be standing there. Wash your hands for dinner.""Ah, go ahead. Don't be doing anything naughty with him," reminded Kenny. Caroline glared at him. "Please stop your dangerous thoughts!"-Ten minutes later, Caroline packed the food, picked up the car key, and told the children, "I'm going out to visit someone. Listen to Uncle Kenny and Grandma."Caroline left before the three children could react. After dinner, the triplets ran upstairs, shut the door, and talked. Tyler frowned. "I'm sure that Mommy is out to visit scumbag Daddy tonight."Axel hugged Liora's doll tightly. "I would like to visit Daddy too."Liora sat cross-legged and said, "Let her visit then. It's no biggie."Tyler and Axel looked at Liora in unison. Tyler said suspiciously, "Something is different with you, Lia."Liora's expression stiff
Caroline knew that Evan could never say anything pleasant. She packed up the container and said, "You can choose not to eat if you don't want to!"'I wouldn't need to cook for you then because I'm busy too!' she thought.Sensing Caroline's agitation, Evan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you displeased?"Caroline placed the food container loudly. "I'm very busy, you know? It's already good I can cook for you. Can you not nitpick?"Evan pulled Caroline's arm with a smile. She was caught off guard and fell into his arms. She raised her head in astonishment and looked into Evan's enticing eyes. Evan smiled, leaned over, and whispered into Caroline's ear, "I'm joking. I love the food."Caroline blushed and was about to push Evan away and stand up when the door suddenly opened. They both turned to see Reuben standing in the doorway, looking surprised."I… I'm sorry for bothering you!" He shut the door swiftly after that. Evan's expression turned solemn while Caroline moved aw
"Carol cares about people. You've been working for her all this time. Doesn't she care about you? Or are you not fond of people showing care for you? You might find that it's rare for someone to care about you."Naomi replied briefly, "I don't need that!"Naomi believed Caroline cared for her only because she was her subordinate and capable of organizing Caroline's important matters well.Caroline would not have cared about her if she lacked the capability!Moreover, she had no need for such hypocrisy!Jamie thought and said, "You need it. Because you're a good person, and a good person deserves to be happy."Naomi was stunned. "How can you tell that I'm a good person?"Jamie picked up the tablet. "Because you gave me this."Naomi darted a look at Jamie and scoffed in her heart. 'So you think I'm a good person just because of a tablet? That's so naive!'Naomi did not speak anymore and returned to her work. Unfortunately, she was distracted from work for the rest of the day b
