Caroline smiled and asked, "Why did you choose my company when we don't know each other? An ordinary factory can handle this task."Greta replied vaguely, "An acquaintance recommended you to me."Caroline asked, "When do you need these clothes?"Greta replied, "Within 30 days."Caroline nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's not a problem."Caroline then asked, "What's the approximate cost?"Greta smiled and added, "Your company will also need to design it, so please include the design fee."Caroline placed the list on the coffee table and said, "I won't charge you for the design fee because this project is for charity, specifically to help kids in mountainous areas. How about we exchange contact information? I'll provide you with the material cost."Greta observed Caroline and asked, "But won't you incur a loss by only charging for the material cost?"Caroline replied gently, "Only those unwilling to help would see it that way. I'm a mother myself, and I can't bear to see kids
Yuliana changed her appearance before heading to the hospital.After asking around and finding out Axel's ward, she took an elevator to go upstairs. As she reached the floor, Evan and Alex were leaving the ward, accompanied by two doctors and a few nurses.Yuliana had just stepped out of the elevator. She lowered her cap, adjusted her sunglasses, and then sat on a nearby bench, pretending to play with her phone.Richie told Evan, "I recommend shaving his head in the next two days, Mr. Jordan. Otherwise, it might cause him great trauma when he starts losing his hair later."Although Evan was exhausted, he remained composed. "That's not a problem. But how can we stop his vomiting?""He's still weak and can't receive an injection for that, Mr. Jordan. Besides, he needs surgery later this week."Evan's face showed displeasure. "Have you managed to find the bone marrow?"Uneasily, Richie replied, "We've been keeping an eye on the bone marrow bank and contacting various hospitals, b
Scott's lack of response left Caroline restless, prompting her to leave the company and wait anxiously outside.December's early nightfall brought bone-chilling cold even to those bundled in thick clothes.While holding her phone, Caroline's hand froze in the biting wind. She called Scott once more.After some time, someone finally picked up. Caroline began, "Sco—"A strange voice cut her off. "The phone's owner had a car accident! Are you his family? We've called 911!"Caroline's hand trembled at the news. She stammered, "W-Where is he?"Her eagerness to descend the stairs was quelled as her legs went limp, causing her to tumble.The loud thud alarmed her nearby employees."Ms. Shenton!" They rushed over to help her up.Once steady, Caroline nervously said, "I'm okay. Help me locate my phone.""Here!" An employee handed it to her.She revealed her wounded palm, causing them to gasp."Ms. Shenton, your hand…"Ignoring her injury, Caroline focused on her phone again.The s
Daniella opened the car door and approached with a click-clack of her footsteps.When she spotted Yuliana standing at the door, she greeted her with a smile, asking, "Are you here to welcome me?"Yuliana's gaze hardened. "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You turned on the headlights when you saw me come out.""How can you say that?" Daniella retorted, "I just didn't manage to turn them off.""But the car wasn't even moving! You're lying."Daniella sneered sarcastically. "You were just unlucky. Don't blame me."With that, she pushed past Yuliana and entered the living room."Grandpa, I'm home!" Her voice brought an immediate smile to Grayson's face.Neil kept checking the time, wondering why Caroline hadn't arrived yet.When Neil texted Caroline, Grayson invited everyone to the dining room.Neil: [Where are you, Carol?]-Caroline had just arrived at the emergency room and quickly checked her phone when she heard the notification.She inwardly sighed after reading Neil'
Caroline's eyes widened in shock when she saw the person."This is the culprit, Finn Leaver," the police officer said."I know him!" Caroline replied, her voice deep.Finn had worked as Evan's bodyguard in the past, and she had encountered him on multiple occasions, but he was fired five years ago.Finn looked up, meeting Caroline's eyes with slight astonishment. "Ms. Shenton…"Caroline turned to the police officers and asked, "Can I speak to him alone for a moment?"The officers exchanged glances, then stood up and said, "You can talk first. Signal the camera if you need assistance."Caroline nodded, and the officers left the room. Soon after, she sat across from Finn and said, "I can't believe you just happened to hit Scott's car."Finn frowned. "What do you mean, Ms. Shenton?""Let's not beat around the bush. Is this related to Evan?" Caroline asked directly.Finn seemed evasive, turning away and saying, "No."Caroline's frustration grew. "You're lying!""Mr. Jordan ha
Caroline asked, "Do you remember Finn?"Evan paused briefly and replied, "Who's that?"Caroline explained, "Finn Leaver, the bodyguard who worked for you a few years back. You fired him five years ago. Don't tell me you forgot!""I don't remember. Just tell me, I'm short on time."Caroline sneered. "What are you avoiding?""What am I avoiding?" Evan asked, puzzled."Did you send Finn to crash Scott's car?" Caroline asked.Evan's expression turned serious. "Where are you?"Caroline retorted, "Do you think I'd want to see you?"Evan said, "If you want to discuss this, we'll do it in person or not at all."He ended the call, leaving Caroline speechless.She stared at the 'call ended' screen, wondering, 'What does he mean? Did he orchestrate this and now wants to meet me in person to explain? Why not just talk on the phone?'Furious, she sent Evan a text.Caroline: [Where are you? I'm coming over now!]Evan: [Meet me at Villa Rosa.]Later, Evan entered the room, saying, "I'm
"I don't understand you, but I believe you understand my way of thinking quite well. You've used the people around you to harm them, and I don't think you're the type to act so recklessly," Caroline said.Evan emitted a dangerous aura. "Why must you cast me as the villain?"Caroline replied, "I only rely on the facts I've witnessed."Evan was taken aback as he remembered saying that to her.Evan's anger slowly subsided. "I acted impulsively when dealing with my mother's situation."Caroline was baffled by his comment.She felt the urge to cry. 'What's the use of saying this now?' she wondered.She changed the subject, saying, "Evan, I just want to know if you're targeting people close to me to get back at me.""What would revenge gain me? Is there any benefit or emotional satisfaction?" Evan asked. "Instead of seeking revenge, I'd prefer to make a more direct and significant impact."Caroline contemplated Evan's words and realized he had a point. If he wanted revenge on her, s
Caroline said, "No…""Why not? Isn't it a good way to avoid responsibility by hiring a dismissed bodyguard to deal with Scott?" Paige asked.Caroline rubbed her forehead and replied, "Paige, Evan wouldn't stoop to such treacherous acts given his character. Besides, he appears quite busy and exhausted lately.""So, you confronted him in person, right?""Yes, I wasn't calm before, but I believe Evan had no part in Lily's death," Caroline asserted.Paige chimed in. "Speaking of that, I've been thinking about it for the past two days. My boss spent a considerable amount on that medical team. It doesn't add up for him to intentionally botch the surgery. If he wanted Lily gone, he could have let her pass away at any other hospital to avoid trouble."Caroline admitted, "I was too impulsive and already apologized to him.""I love it when you apologize, Carol, after realizing your mistake! You want information about Finn, right? I'll have someone look into it and keep you updated.""Tha
