"You keep coming back! I returned Evan to you as you wanted, and now you're thinking about going after Casey?" Daniella shouted emotionally.When Caroline saw Daniella's exasperated state, she became convinced of her previous suspicion. She believed Daniella had exposed Jamie's identity.She stood up, approached Daniella, and chuckled. "Returned to me? So Evan is just a tool to you."Daniella retorted, "I didn't say that!""No? You abandoned him after you couldn't use him, right? And now you're trying to get involved with Casey," Caroline accused."Don't you know Evan and I called off the engagement? I'm single, so I have the right to date!" Daniella shouted.Caroline scoffed. "Yes, you didn't mind putting Evan and his mother in trouble just to get close to Casey."Daniella looked at Caroline in shock and panic. "What nonsense are you talking about?""You know very well I'm not speaking nonsense!" Caroline narrowed her eyes. "Aren't you worried they'll come after you for all th
Caroline said, "Joan, I accidentally—""Accidentally got pregnant with your fourth child? I'm going to be this child's god-grandmother!" Joan was delighted. Caroline said, "Fell! I fell accidentally, Joan!"Joan kept quiet for a while before she scoffed in contempt. "Fuck! I thought you were pregnant again. This is boring."Caroline said, "Is my injury not important?""It's not. Anyone can fall and hurt themselves. Where's the hospital? I'm coming over now."After their phone call, Caroline sent Joan the hospital's address and her room number.Within an hour, Joan arrived.Upon entering the room, Caroline saw Joan in a striking red outfit and high heels that showcased her appearance. Despite being 40 years old, she maintained herself so well that she could easily pass for a 25-year-old woman. Her pixie-cut hair gave her a carefree yet elegant look.Joan walked in carrying a bouquet of vibrant red roses. However, her joy turned to shock when she saw Caroline's bandaged arms an
Alex was stunned for a moment. He found the remark to be strange. After a long while, Alex came to realize the situation and said, "Are you trying to get me to buy fake votes?"'Fuck! When did Evan become so shameless?' he wondered."You are planning to marry Paige in the future, right?" Evan asked with contempt. "Aren't you willing to make this sacrifice for her?"Alex was rendered speechless, thinking, 'This has nothing to do with Paige and me. Evan is using me to win over Joan.'He slumped in his seat. "Evan, has anyone ever told you how despicable you can be?"Evan sneered. "Businessmen only care about profits."Alex rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll spend the money to buy fake votes."Evan nodded. "Once the task is done, I'll expose Paige's identity intentionally. Her value as a fashion designer will skyrocket with all those votes, benefiting her."Alex hadn't expected Evan to plan so cunningly. Indeed, if Paige won a fashion design competition against a world-class opponent,
Daniella scoffed. "Do you think I really want to touch you?"Yuliana asked, "What do you want to tell me?"Daniella said, "Help me with one more thing."Yuliana frowned. "Why would I help you again?"Daniella chuckled. "Don't forget that it's not next week yet, and your father is still idling at home."Yuliana's expression changed drastically. "Don't you dare threaten me with this!"She felt very bad for Evan when she helped Daniella and refused to allow Daniella to order her to hurt Evan."How should I say this? You're my cousin, so why would I threaten you?" Daniella patted Yuliana's back. "I just can't figure out how I can have Casey to myself, and I need you to come up with ideas."Yuliana was astonished. "You're not targeting Evan?""I wasn't targeting him previously either. I just want to help Casey," Daniella said. Yuliana's hostility was reduced. "What do you want to do to Casey?"Daniella said, "You're not working yet, so why don't you help me find out Casey and Ca
Yuliana nodded, feeling embarrassed for scolding Caroline in the past when she didn't know better."Yes," Yuliana replied.Greta noticed something and said, "We've seen you grow, Yulia. You're more mature now. I need a favor from you."Yuliana said, "Go ahead.""Can you help watch over Caroline and keep an eye on her relationship with Neil?" Greta asked.Yuliana agreed. "Sure, Daniella asked me to watch her too."Greta frowned. "Why did she ask you to do that?"Yuliana explained how Daniella had threatened her with Thomas' return to the company. She also discussed the relationship between Caroline and Casey.Greta chuckled, "Scheming, jealous, and arrogant. She can't be Ellie's child. However, we must maintain a good relationship with her until we have evidence to prove otherwise.""Mom, I hate her and can't explain it!" Yuliana confessed."Hate can be a form of motivation, too. You must endure the hardship until we find leverage over Daniella," Greta advised.Yuliana unders
Casey wanted to make Evan jealous by being with the woman Evan loved.'He'll look pained, with sorrow in his eyes. Just thinking about it excites me!' Casey was thrilled at the thought of Evan's reaction.Caroline felt an odd vibe from Casey. It sent a shiver down her spine, making her want to leave.'A pervert... That's what he is,' she thought.Even though Casey showed no emotion, it was evident to Caroline.Despite her discomfort, Caroline reluctantly nodded. "Sure."Yuliana overheard their conversation and wondered if they were talking about Evan. She wondered why Caroline sought revenge on Evan. Casey had a reason, but what was Caroline's motive? She decided to share this information with Daniella.-Daniella received Yuliana's message and frowned. She wondered if Casey was using Caroline to target Evan.Daniella bit her lip, deep in thought. She questioned if Casey's animosity toward Evan was due to Evan forcing him to stay abroad for 15 years. She also considered whethe
Daniella panicked and looked doubtful as she clutched her phone tightly and stared at the door.She couldn't let Casey be with Caroline. She doubted Casey's feelings for Caroline, and that could put her in a dangerous position.-Meanwhile, Caroline and Mary returned from the grocery store with fruits.As Caroline headed back to the room, she noticed a familiar figure. Her steps halted, and her eyes widened in shock upon recognizing the person.Approaching the person, she uttered, "Scott."Scott was taken aback. He turned to face Caroline just moments later. Before he could call out to her, Caroline's expression turned cold. "You didn't tell me you were back."Scott appeared slightly frustrated. "Don't be upset. I wanted to surprise you, but you found me first."Caroline composed herself and said, "Next time, please inform me in advance so I can..."Then, Caroline remembered she hadn't fully recovered yet.Scott noticed Caroline in her patient gown and frowned. "Why are you
Outside the clinic office, Yuliana eavesdropped on their conversation attentively. She removed her cap and frowned deeply. Despite her resemblance to Eleanor, she disapproved of Caroline's promiscuity.'How did Evan fall for her?' she wondered.Yuliana opened her photo album and reviewed the pictures she had taken earlier. Among them were snapshots of Caroline, Casey, and Scott.She contemplated for a moment and then sent all the photos to Evan's email.-In the afternoon, Evan returned from the construction site to find Axel peacefully napping on the sofa. As he approached Axel and began to wake him, Axel stirred on his own.Axel's lips quivered as he focused on the figure in his vision. "Daddy's home."Despite his desire to sit up, Axel's arms were too sore and weak to support himself. He had forgotten about the severe nosebleed he had had before falling asleep.He had lost so much blood that he still felt dizzy, making it impossible to get up now."Axel, are you keeping som
