The triplets were heading to school after breakfast when they spotted Evan.The kids and Paige were taken aback."Mr. Jordan," Paige called out.Evan glanced at Paige, nodded, and then shifted his gaze to Axel."Come with me, Axel," he said.Axel gripped his bag tightly, stood with pursed lips, and avoided eye contact.Evan frowned, unable to understand Axel's hesitation. "You used to come when I told you to. Have you suddenly started disobeying after just a few days?" he asked."Axel Jordan!" Evan's voice grew colder, and he seemed displeased."Stop shouting! You always take Axel away, but he's also Mommy's child!" Liora glared at Evan.Evan narrowed his eyes. "So what if he is? I have custody, so I decide where he goes!"Liora was stunned and confused by Evan's words. She could tell he was speaking to her in an unpleasant tone.Liora clenched her top tightly as she remembered seeing Evan fail to protect her mother during the severe beating on surveillance footage. She deci
"Let's go!" Axel grabbed Evan's sleeve and said, "Let's go!"Evan's expression turned serious as he witnessed the scene. 'They're acting like I wrongly accused Caroline of causing my mother's death! Is she so good at pretending that her kids believed she sacrificed everything for my mother? If that's true, why did she let my mother ride the Ferris wheel alone?'Evan turned away, his face tense, and left the villa.-In the car.Axel looked at Evan, his disappointment evident."Mommy didn't go on the Ferris wheel because of me. I'm scared of heights! They would have all fallen to their deaths if I weren't there!"Evan's eyes narrowed at Axel's words as he pictured the scene. Still, he couldn't trust Caroline after she exposed his mother's rape incident.-Two days later, Caroline learned that Axel had been transferred to another school but didn't know which one. Luckily, Axel stayed in touch over the phone.After two days of rest, Caroline could walk, grateful she only had whi
Caroline moved her lips, preparing to say, "Very much."However, she spoke differently, saying, "We're not acquainted, so there's no reason for hate.""Really? So, you don't believe those online comments?" Casey was quite surprised."It doesn't matter if I believe them or not. But I do dislike your family a lot."Casey's expression turned solemn. "What do you mean?"Caroline chuckled, opened her eyes, and looked at Casey. "Haven't you seen my injuries? It's all because of your father!"Casey was unaware of the incident. He frowned and asked, "Could you tell me what happened?"Caroline hesitated briefly before recounting Draco's misunderstanding.Casey looked apologetic. "I'm very sorry. My father is old, and he might be taking things too far."Caroline remained silent.Casey paused momentarily before asking, "Has my youngest brother visited you? You two used to be close, as far as I know."Caroline replied, "It's unnecessary. We'll just end up arguing when he's here."Casey
Daniella turned around abruptly, ready to ask a question, when the door swung open.Yuliana appeared at the doorway, her voice tinged with displeasure. "You've got quite an attitude. Didn't you hear Grandpa calling for you?"Daniella's expression changed dramatically, and she adopted a more polite demeanor. "I'm sorry. I didn't hear because I was on a call earlier. Does Grandpa need something from me?""Can't he call for you if there's nothing urgent?" Yuliana grumbled.Danielle smiled and replied, "No worries. Let's go meet Grandpa downstairs.""No need!" Yuliana crossed her arms, leaning against the door.Daniella observed Yuliana's posture and asked patiently, "Is there something you'd like to discuss?""Yes! Are you going to invite me into your room?" Yuliana glanced at the sofa.Daniella stepped aside. "Please come in."Yuliana entered the bedroom and sat down with an air of arrogance.A hint of disgust flickered in Daniella's eyes, but she maintained a forced smile. "Go
Yuliana sat on the sofa once again. "Can you tell me what the matter is now?""Clear Casey's name of the accusation that he raped Evan's mother!" said Daniella. "No! I won't help you to make things difficult for Evan!" Yuliana rejected it without any hesitation. "Is Evan going to marry you? Even if you don't do this, he still won't regard you highly! I've already made my point. Go home and think about it. The advantage of doing this outweighs the disadvantage."Yuliana barked, "You're trying to make me look bad to Evan! I won't do it!""So you value Evan more than your father, huh?" Daniella said mockingly."Hey!" Yuliana glared at Daniella. Daniella approached with a smile, sat beside Yuliana, and gently held her hand. "Don't worry. The family business will be yours if you can complete this task, not my brother's. I'm not interested in the family business either."Yuliana looked at Daniella in disbelief. After a moment, she said, "You have feelings for Casey, huh?""Yes! T
"I have no idea!" Alex was confused. Paige said, "Pick up the call and see if Carol's okay."Alex nodded, accepted the call, and put it on speaker. "How can I help you, Caroline?" Alex asked. Carol said, "Mr. Pierce, I would like you to explain to me about the termination of the factory's lease."Paige and Alex widened their eyes in surprise. 'Lease termination?'Paige looked at Alex in astonishment while Alex's heart was racing. He said, "That can't be right! I have never expected this to happen!"Caroline said, "Mr. Pierce, we previously agreed on the six-month lease. You have to keep your promise!"Alex's expression turned serious. "I will find out more about the situation. Don't panic. I'll get back to you tomorrow!"Caroline said, "Sure!"Paige glared at Alex. "Don't you dare tell me that you're unaware of this!"Alex was drained. "I'm unaware of this, for real!""You leased the factory to Carol and told me that the factory is yours. Yet, you're telling me that yo
Evan's eyes flashed with sarcasm as Alex hurried out of the villa. 'Didn't I search for evidence? It's a shame it disappeared on the day of the incident!'-The next day, after an entire night of searching for evidence, Alex lay on his bed and received a call from Paige. He intended to make a lie for the situation but accidentally answered the call."Pug! What's the explanation? You disappeared all night! Can't you give a simple explanation?" Paige shouted.Alex scratched his head and sat up, looking exhausted. "Please calm down and hear me out."Paige's anger eased upon hearing Alex's weary voice. "Okay, go ahead."Alex took a deep breath. "Paige, I owe you an apology. The factory isn't mine.""What? But you told me it was yours!" Paige exclaimed.Alex couldn't hide the truth any longer. He had initially tried to locate the journalist, but the latter had vanished with his family and changed his contact details. It seemed like an invisible force was at play, preventing him from
Kenny said, "Ms. Lynch, why won't you answer me?"Naomi said, "The renovation will take at least a month."Kenny frowned. "A month isn't too long, but the factory is giving us a week to vacate the place. The remaining time is the issue!"Naomi kept quiet, and Kenny did not speak further. -Kenny called up Caroline when he returned to the office. Caroline picked up and said anxiously, "Have you checked with the factory manager on the inventory quantity, Kenny?"Kenny said, "I did. We don't have any inventory because the order quantity is too high!"For the first time, Caroline felt having a high order quantity was not a good thing. Alex had yet to update her about the factory situation, so she had no idea what her next step should be.Kenny leaned against the chair and said, "When will you be back, G? I don't feel confident without you."Caroline checked her injuries. "A week…""So long? Have you reached out to the factory owner? What did they say?" Kenny asked.Caroline
