Grayson's expression changed dramatically. "Did she tell you she's meeting Evan?" he asked.Yuliana nodded. "Yes, Grandpa. I can't stand to see Daniella getting involved with Evan after how he treated her."Yuliana lied, hoping to dissuade Grayson from allowing Daniella to get close to Evan.She couldn't understand why Daniella wanted to connect with Casey but had previously tasked her with finding a bone marrow donor for Axel. However, now she saw the truth: Daniella possessed bone marrow compatible with Axel, and she intended to use it to get closer to Evan.You shameless bitch! Since you used me, why should I cover for you?' she thought.Grayson rose from his seat and turned to the bodyguard by the door. "Get the car!"-Meanwhile, Caroline dropped the children off at Merlin School.Before leaving, she told them, "Eira will pick you up later."Liora pouted and asked, "What are you doing tonight, Mommy?"Caroline bent down, gently pinching Liora's cheek. "I have something t
Caroline chuckled. "14,000 dollars? Sure, you can pay me that."Daniella's expression changed. "Why should I pay you 14,000 dollars? Can't you see that my car collided with yours because you parked haphazardly?"Caroline gestured toward the surveillance camera with her chin. "See that camera? I was driving straight when you turned and crashed into me. This is a parking area, Daniella. Think before you speak.""What do you mean, 'think'? How dare you criticize my granddaughter when you're just a mistress?" A stern voice suddenly cut in.Daniella and Caroline turned together. A shadow moved swiftly before Caroline could see the person clearly.A loud slap echoed, followed by a burning pain across her face. Caroline's bodyguard quickly shielded her.Caroline was briefly stunned, her gaze turning cold as she felt her burning cheek. She raised her head and looked at Grayson, who had appeared in front of her."It seems Daniella's arrogance is a result of your guidance," she said coldl
Neil sat in a meeting at the Xander Group when his phone suddenly buzzed. His face turned serious as he watched the surveillance footage.Without hesitation, he stood up and announced, "We're ending today's meeting right here!"He briskly left the room, leaving a group of bewildered executives behind.As he walked toward his office, Neil dialed Caroline's number.Caroline answered, "Hello?"Neil entered his office, shut the door, and asked urgently, "Are you okay, Carol?"Caroline was surprised that Neil had found out so quickly."I'm fine, Neil. How did you find out?" she asked."Ty sent it to me. Why didn't you tell me?" Neil responded."Ty?" Caroline was taken aback. "Isn't Ty at school? How did he reach you without his phone?""It's not a minor matter," Neil insisted. "Besides, with the surveillance cameras there, it would have come out eventually."Caroline reasoned, "Your grandfather can control online information. If you don't hear it from me, it'll be as if it never
Not that Reuben didn't want to help, but it wasn't his place to do so.The situation had already escalated, and Grayson couldn't afford to stay out of it any longer. Even the Xander Group's stock would be affected.Even if Evan took action, it would draw attention to the matter, but someone else had taken care of it for him.Meanwhile, Daniella was involved in this incident. He had just signed an agreement with her today.Axel was his top priority at the moment.As the lawyer stepped out of the elevator, Evan asked, "Did you bring the agreement?"The lawyer produced the document and handed it to Evan. "Please review this, Mr. Jordan."Evan carefully examined it, checking the few important clauses he had instructed the lawyer to include. He then set the document down and instructed Reuben to call Daniella.-In the afternoon, Neil found himself surrounded by a group of journalists as he left the company."Mr. Xander, is Mr. Xander Sr. available? Could you please arrange for hi
Caroline removed her sunglasses and glared at Neil. "I'm doing this so I don't cause trouble for you, you know.""Ah? Why do you say that?" Neil asked, smiling.Caroline continued. "You're going to hold a press conference, right? It will affect you if we don't align in our statements, won't it?"Neil gently touched Caroline's still-swollen cheek, his eyes filled with sympathy. "Don't worry about me. I will stick to the facts when I explain everything."Caroline asked, "Aren't you concerned that your grandfather will blame you?""I'll stand by what I've said. Everyone must take responsibility for their actions." Neil pulled back his arm, and his expression gradually turned cold. Caroline was about to speak when Neil's phone rang. He glanced at Caroline when he noticed Grayson was calling. "Speak of the devil."Caroline leaned against the chair. "Answer the call."Neil nodded and accepted it. "Neil, have you checked the Internet? You should know what to say in the press conf
Laila was shocked. "Why are you saying that, Mr. Price? Paige has—"Alex didn't let Laila respond. "Who says you can't feel tired at work? Is it Evan? I'll ask him later. Let's find out if he's the one behind that silly rule or if you enacted it without his approval."Laila panicked. "No, I didn't—"Alex scoffed. Moments later, he grabbed Paige by the wrist and said, "Let's go."Paige tried to break free, but Alex forcefully pulled her into his arms and into the elevator.Paige pushed Alex away as the elevator doors closed and said, "I don't need your heroic rescue."Paige appeared stubborn on the outside, but she felt a sense of relief inside. No one had ever stood up for her like that, except her parents and Caroline. She had been feeling extremely exhausted for the past few days, lacking the energy for any arguments.Alex had indeed come to her aid."No, I'm just protecting someone dear," Alex said with a smile.Paige grumbled, "I won't talk to disloyal people."Alex promp
"Sure," Daniella said as she picked up the agreement from the table.Glancing over it, she felt a surge of contempt. The agreement stipulated that Evan would determine the duration of her stay based on Axel's condition, with a maximum limit of one year.If she mistreated Axel during this time, she would have to pay hefty compensation and face legal consequences. Moreover, she was prohibited from residing at Villa Rosa during her caretaking period and forbidden from entering the company or approaching Evan under the guise of caring for the child.Daniella shivered as she read these clauses. She wondered, 'With so many restrictions, what can I actually do that will benefit Casey?'Turning each page of the agreement, she discovered that Evan would pay her a staggering 70,000,000 dollars once Axel had recovered. Daniella's eyes widened in shock, and a rush of emotions overwhelmed her.'70,000,000 dollars... I've never received this much money from the Xanders all these years! Evan is
Caroline: [The hidden relationship scandal…]Neil: [That's just speculation. I haven't confirmed it.]Before Caroline could reply, a new top-searched post appeared on her phone screen.[Grayson Xander was urgently admitted to the hospital! Proof of TYC's CEO marrying into the influential family!]Caroline had to admit that these journalists were experts at exaggerating.Her phone buzzed.Paige called just as Caroline was irritated by the journalist's sensationalism.Caroline answered, and Paige burst into laughter. "I might die of laughter, Carol! Have you seen the press conference? The netizens' imagination is incredible!"Caroline massaged her temples. "Why are you joining in the fun too?""No, I'm just curious how shocked they'll be when they find out the truth. Their jaws will drop when the girlfriend turns into the sister. The word 'family' is enough to make them go wild!" Paige was still laughing uncontrollably.Caroline glanced out the window. "You seem to be in a good
