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
TYC's pre-order number was more than twice MK's in just a few hours. It caused a great sensation in the fashion industry. The people speculated MK's ability to maintain its leading position in the fashion industry. A journalist hurried to TYC to conduct a solo interview with Caroline.Caroline agreed to the interview and asked her assistant, Josie Gardner, to escort the journalist to the reception room, where they would meet.The journalist, Paxton Parker, stood up and shook Caroline's hand as soon as she entered. "Thank you for taking the time to do this today, Ms. Shenton."Caroline said with a faint smile, "It's fine. Please take a seat."Paxton asked after sitting down, "We shall begin the recording soon. It's a live-streamed interview. We hope that you don't mind, Ms. Shenton."Caroline frowned because she had not been notified prior. However, she nodded. Paxton nodded to the cameraman and began the interview officially. Paxton asked, "Ms. Shenton, TYC has only be
Alex burst into the room dramatically, clutching his phone and gasping for breath between fits of laughter."Evan, you have to see Caroline's live stream. I can't stop laughing. She said you're pestering her…"Alex's smile froze as he met Evan's stern look and intense gaze.Alex glanced at Evan's tablet. 'Oh no, I'm in trouble!'Evan's expression was tense as he asked in rage, "Is that funny?"Alex's expression turned serious. "Not funny at all! Caroline has gone too far! You are so good to her! How could she say something like this? She shouldn't have said that even if she did it to defend her reputation!"Alex approached Evan and continued. "Evan, I think it's time for you to think this through! I believe Caroline has no feelings for you anymore. It would be best for you to marry someone else soon to piss her off!"Evan narrowed his eyes and thought about Alex's remark about defending the company's reputation. 'Perhaps the journalist went too far, and she had no choice but t
Caroline wanted to speak, but Evan said, "Caroline, can you swear you don't have any feelings for me?"Caroline felt her heart wrench in pain as she listened to Evan's angry remark tainted with inferiority.However, she knew their fateful connection would have to come to an end!Suppressing her pain, Caroline said, "I came to the hospital to return the favor, Evan. It's unnecessary to swear, but it's me who can't stand our relationship. Do you understand that?""I don't! Why do you get to step back in a relationship so casually? What do you take me for?"Caroline leaned against the chair weakly. "What do I take you for? Have you questioned yourself about what you take me for then? You regarded me as your mistress five years ago and searched for me frantically only after you discovered I had saved your life."What if you were still clueless about the incident? You'd still be in a loving relationship with Daniella now, right? Haven't you noticed you don't love me? You love the pers
