"Are you trying to play mind games with me?" Evan asked coldly.Roman pleaded, "Please tell me what's going on, Mr. Jordan!"Evan scoffed, pulled out his phone, and dialed Reuben. When the call was answered, he said, "Bring his family over."He hung up shortly afterward, unable to shake the thought that Roman either had a strong mindset or was completely clueless.Thirty minutes later, the bodyguard entered the office with two individuals: an elderly woman and a young girl. Their faces turned pale upon seeing Roman bound to a chair."Roman!""Daddy!"The elderly woman demanded, "What have you done, Roman?"Roman shook his head. "I have no idea what I've done wrong, Mother."She turned to Evan, who exuded an unusual air of authority. "Sir, what's happening to my son?"Evan rested his chin on his fingers and replied softly, "Why don't you ask your son?"Roman said, "Mr. Jordan, my mother and daughter are here, but I still don't know what you're referring to."Evan's voice dee
"Does Daniella want both of you to fight so she can watch? That's shameless," said Paige, shocked."No, she doesn't want to watch, but she sees this as an opportunity to gain Casey's trust," Caroline replied.Paige frowned. "So, Daniella is using Casey's influence and financial ability to sabotage your relationship with Evan?"Caroline rubbed her temples. "Right now, it's just Evan or Daniella and Casey.""Carol, do you have proof of Daniella's communication with Casey?" Paige asked."No, but I can find a way to get it," Caroline said, picking up her glass.Paige laid her head on the table and yawned. "Geez, it's one thing after another…"Caroline looked puzzled. "Paige, you seem to get tired easily lately and don't even enjoy nightlife anymore."Paige's eyes drooped. "I think work exhausts me, and I don't get enough sleep."Caroline fell silent. "Have you been getting your period?""My periods have never been regular. I'm definitely not pregnant," Paige said, turning her hea
Caroline had no interest in engaging in small talk with him."Why are you texting me?" Caroline asked bluntly.Casey smiled but remained silent. He signaled the waitress, saying, "Can she have a coffee?""I don't want coffee. A lemon-infused water will do," Caroline declined.The waitress nodded. "Of course."Casey grinned and asked, "Are you in a hurry to leave?"Caroline looked at him coldly. "I still have a lot to do. Can you talk now?"Casey took a sip of his coffee, still smiling. "So, does this mean you won't reach out to me unless I reach out to you first, Ms. Shenton?""You should know I'm extremely busy, Mr. Jordan," Caroline replied with a slightly serious tone.Casey said, "I have a plan to shut down MK's clothing factory, but I need your help with something.""What is it?" Caroline asked.Casey asked, "Do you think MK's fashion designer will be useful if they deliver faulty products to their customers?"Caroline asked, "Why resort to dishonorable methods to defe
The waitress promptly brought Caroline a drink after Casey left. Caroline took a few sips, but it didn't alleviate the nausea caused by Casey's actions.-Meanwhile, Evan parked his car outside the police station. The police station chief, Fabian Dunn, greeted Evan warmly. "It's been a while, Mr. Jordan," Fabian said, extending his hand. Evan shook his hand and casually said, "Sorry for the trouble. Please bring out the culprit."Fabian replied, "No trouble at all. I've already sent someone to fetch the culprit. Please wait."Evan nodded, adding, "I owe you a drink next time."Fabian chuckled. "You're too kind, Mr. Jordan."They briefly conversed until a male officer brought Finn over. Finn stiffened when he saw Evan and approached him fearfully, saying, "Mr... Mr. Jordan."Evan glanced at him before turning to Fabian. "Thank you. I'll have a brief chat with him."Smiling, Fabian replied, "Go ahead."Evan escorted Finn to his car. Once the door was shut, Finn could
Reuben started the car when he said that.Evan gazed at the dark streets, overwhelmed by powerlessness and emptiness.Although he was wealthy, his money couldn't save his child!-Casey returned to Villa Foresta, and the servant quickly brought him slippers.Casey asked casually, "Is she awake?""No, sir. I used a stronger dose of medicine this time, so she won't wake up soon," the servant replied.Casey removed his jacket. "Send someone here."The servant nodded. "Of course, sir."-Daniella lay in bed upstairs. She was unable to open her eyes, feeling drained of energy.Suddenly, the door clicked open, and footsteps followed, along with Casey's muffled voice. "Ella?"Daniella tried to respond, moving her fingers, but Casey noticed.He bent over and held her slender hand. "How are you still awake?" he said with regret.Daniella couldn't hear clearly because her head was buzzing, but she could feel Casey gently caressing her hand.Daniella was deeply touched.Casey said
Casey's comment persuaded Daniella, and she gently kissed him. "Thank you, Casey. I'll head home now."After tidying up, Daniella left Villa Foresta and returned to Xander Residence. She unexpectedly ran into Yuliana, who was preparing to leave.Blocking Yuliana's path, Daniella asked, "What's the latest update on that situation?"Yuliana glanced at her. "I thought I already informed you that Evan couldn't find a suitable bone marrow donor."Displeased, Daniella retorted, "You never updated me yesterday!"Yuliana replied, "Since I didn't update you, it means there was no new information. Do you really want me to text you every day?"Standing close to Yuliana, Daniella warned, "Mind your tone when speaking to me!"Suppressing her anger, Yuliana replied, "So, do you still want me to keep an eye on him? Move aside if you do!""Don't even think about playing tricks on me!"Daniella entered the villa shortly after, and Yuliana left Xander Residence in frustration, heading for the h
Evan asked, "How do you plan to test her?"Alex replied casually, "No need to fret, just await the results."Evan contemplated for a moment, then said, "If she's a match, discuss the terms with her beforehand.""I've got it covered, no worries," Alex assured, and Evan nodded.-Later in the day, Alex reached out to Daniella, and they arranged to meet at a cafe near the hospital.Daniella wore sunglasses as she entered the cafe and approached Alex. Alex glanced at her and the overcast sky outside. "Why the shades on such a cloudy day?"Daniella took a seat and confessed, "I've been struggling to sleep lately because of Axel."Alex felt a twinge of revulsion. 'Where was your conscience when you mistreated Axel in the past? Why this act now?'Suppressing his emotions, Alex scrutinized her. "Let's not beat around the bush. Do you possess the bone marrow that matches Axel's?"Daniella raised her head, peering over her sunglasses. She asked, surprised, "How did you find out?""N
Alex's eyes landed on Paige, and she noticed him as she turned around. Their gazes met, and Paige soon saw Daniella seated opposite Alex. She appeared visibly disgusted. Alex abruptly stood up, walked away from Daniella, and approached Paige.Curious, Daniella turned to look, her expression turning scornful when she saw Alex rushing after Paige.-Alex caught up to Paige outside the cafe, grabbed her arm, and asked, "What brought you here, Paige? Are you heading to the hospital? Do you feel unwell?"Paige forcefully shook off Alex's hand and shouted, "Stay away from me! Just looking at you makes me nauseous!"Alex frowned and asked, "What have I done wrong? It's been so long since the incident. Haven't you forgiven me yet?""Forgive you?" Paige sneered, pointing at Daniella. "You're sitting with Daniella now and still expecting my forgiveness?"Alex grew anxious. "My meeting with Daniella isn't what you think, but…"Alex stopped speaking abruptly, recalling his promise to Eva
