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

    In the evening, Caroline received a text from Casey.Casey: [So, you're dating Neil Xander?]She was disgusted.Caroline: [I don't think that's any of your business.]Casey: [It isn't, but I bet I'll enjoy Evan's reaction.]Caroline muttered to herself, "You pervert!"Caroline: [Can we cancel the meeting tonight?]Casey: [You shouldn't mix up two different matters. I'll see you at 8:00 p.m.]Caroline couldn't understand why Casey chose Grand East Hospital as the meeting place. Even if it belonged to Evan, he might not check the surveillance cameras. If Casey had warned Evan, the latter would have called her, but she hadn't received any calls or texts from him.Caroline wondered, 'What's Casey's goal?'She decided to stay at the company to work on her sketches.She headed to the hospital at 7:30 p.m. and arrived at nearly 8:00 p.m. Her phone rang as she parked.

    Evan looked past Casey at Caroline with a burning rage in his eyes. "Why are you still hanging out with him?"Caroline was on the verge of responding when Casey interjected, "Evan, you can't control someone's freedom like that.""Was I talking to you, jerk?" Evan yelled maliciously at Casey.Standing beside Evan, Daniella trembled, shocked to witness Evan so infuriated. It was her first time seeing him like that, and it made her realize how important Caroline was to him.Daniella couldn't help but wonder, 'Why is Casey spending time with Caroline again? Why are these guys taking her side?'Jealousy burned in Daniella's eyes as she watched the exchange unfold."Do I owe you an explanation?" Caroline's voice turned cold.Evan's anger flared as he retorted, "I just want to know why you're meeting Casey. Do you understand how terrible he is?"Caroline shot back, "Why is that any of your business? You're also keeping someone with questionable behavior close, right?" She cast a point

    Reese winced in pain. "Alright, ma'am. I guess I can read your mind? Be gentle!"Liora relaxed her grip at last. "Right, when are we going to that place you mentioned previously?""There's no rush. Your body isn't up for constant actions now. What if you get hurt by those harmful spirits again? I've already committed myself to you out of guilt. If it happens again, I won't have anything else to offer."Liora chuckled. "You make it sound like I'm desperate for your compensation.""What's wrong with that? I'm a strong, handsome man, and everyone loves me!" said Reese, displeased.Liora was astounded by his narcissism.She took a deep breath and said, "Reese.""Hmm?"Liora said, "In truth, I'm not the best choice to be your partner because of my profession. Those spirits may bother me from time to time. I'm the complete opposite of Isaac because of my negative physique.""What happens when you have a negative physique?""Spirits will be drawn to bother me and might cause me a lo

    Reese and Isaac couldn't perceive the spirit, but they witnessed a dark mist dissipating before them.Isaac asked in astonishment, "What's happening, Lia?"Liora turned and answered, "The female spirit didn't want to move on, so her soul has been dissolved.""Dissolved? Do you mean her soul has been destroyed?" asked Reese. Liora nodded and looked around. "Uncle Kenny, please help me find the six spirits."Kenny took on the task and brought those fearful spirits in just a few minutes. Liora asked, "Do you want to choose the same option as her or come with me to Cross Chapel?""Cross Chapel!""We would have left long ago if we weren't trapped here by her threats!""She wouldn't let us go even in death. Aren't our lives worth anything?"After Fiery Red was gone, these spirits began to complain in anger.Liora was infuriated by their complaints. "How dare you criticize her! She may be responsible for your deaths, but what about you then? Do you think you bear no responsibil

    "That's easy for you to say! Those who caused my death may have become spirits, but I still want to stop them from moving on!" Fiery Red barked. Liora frowned. "So, you're implying that those six students caused your death?""Why would I kill them otherwise?"Liora said, "It's time to let them go now that they've faced your revenge. Keeping them trapped is like trapping yourself. Why bother?""Allowing them to move on is letting them off too lightly!" Fiery Red roared. Liora said, "Your obsession is too strong and is keeping you trapped here. You're constantly hurting yourself with painful memories. If you move on properly, it will be a kind of liberation from your past.""Don't preach to me! I'll make it simple for you. It's either you die or my soul gets destroyed!" Fiery Red snapped. She was about to attack Liora just as she finished her sentence. Liora was planning to call out to Isaac when a figure suddenly showed up. Kenny rushed over and blasted away Fiery Red."Y

    Tyler did not comment further upon hearing Liora's reply. In the evening, Isaac returned home from school to find Liora already there. He hurried over, brimming with excitement. "You're back, Lia! How are you feeling? Have you recovered from your injuries?"Isaac's smile stretched from ear to ear.Liora glanced at Isaac meaningfully and said, "Please do me a favor tonight, Isaac."Isaac nodded repeatedly. "Sure, are we heading to the campus?"Liora looked at Isaac in astonishment. "Are you not scared anymore?"The smile on Isaac's face faded slowly. "Spirits are scary, but I don't want to see you bullied by them again, Lia. I wanted to destroy those spirits on the same day after seeing you suffer. However, they told me to respect your decision, so I didn't do that."Liora caressed Isaac's head affectionately. "You've grown, Isaac. You know how to look out for me now."Isaac took Liora's hand and held her hand tightly in his own. "Lia, I've always cared about you. Next time you

    Reese said, "Yes, you have been in love with her for 15 years and have invested a lot of time for her. However, haven't you noticed that Lia is a very rational person? As soon as she figures things out, she can move on immediately."Chester's breathing became irregular. He took two deep breaths shakily while staring at Reese. "Yes, she is more sensitive and rational than anyone else."Reese said, "I'm going to give you another analogy. If Lia chooses to be with me, what are you going to do?""Nothing. I said before that I'd respect Lia's choice no matter what. Similarly, you don't have to worry about anything else. I won't harbor any resentment because of love," Chester replied. Reese said, "In other words, you'll continue to be friends with Lia even if we end up together, is that right?"Chester frowned. "Lia and I are friends. If we can't be together, our relationship will remain the same as before. You like Lia, but you can't stop me from being friends with her, Reese."Reese

    Reese raised his right arm and said, "My entire right arm was covered in blood at the time. I watched the removal of rotten flesh from your back with my own eyes. I couldn't sleep peacefully for days.""That's easy! Just get the doctor to prescribe sleeping pills to you. You will be able to sleep better, right?" Liora said while giggling. Reese crouched down next to the bed, smiling. "Lia, are you mad at me?"Liora was confused. "Mad at you? For what?"Reese scratched his nose. "If I didn't take you there, you wouldn't have gotten injured."Liora took a glance at him, astounded. "This has nothing to do with you taking me there. It's the ignorant spirits. I'll deal with them all once I recover!""You still want to go back there?" Reese exclaimed. "Yes, of course! Hades will be delighted if I can send the seven spirits to him," Liora said. Reese looked at the joyous smile on Liora's face, feeling guilty. "I was hoping that you'd scold me instead of talking to me so casually."

    Reese sent away Tyler and the other, surging them to get some rest while he remained seated, his gaze fixed on Liora.She slept peacefully, her chest rising and falling slowly with each breath. Meanwhile, a nurse approached. Reese noticed her and hastily stood up. "Hello, nurse."The nurse asked, "How can I help you?"Reese said, "May I inquire when Liora can be transferred out of the ICU?"The nurse said, "I'm not too sure about that. It depends on the healing of her wounds and vital signs. She has the most extensive wound that I've ever seen on a girl. She might end up with scars…"The nurse opened the door and walked inside upon saying that. Reese was overwhelmed by a sense of guilt as he thought of the debt he owed to Liora. He knew he could never fully repay it in this lifetime.-Three days later, Liora was transferred out of the ICU.After learning about the incident, Caroline and Evan rushed to the hospital. They were heartbroken to see Liora lying prone on the be

    Fear and worry flooded Reese's mind, making it impossible for him to sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky through the skylight. Reese could not help Liora in her profession, so he wondered if he could help out in her safety. He thought about it before he grabbed his phone to text Tyler. Reese: [Can you tell me where Ms. Yelena is staying?]Soon, Tyler texted Yelena's hotel and room number. Reese: [Thank you, my friend.]Tyler sneered.Tyler: [I haven't settled the score with you over Lia's predicament.]Reese: [I'll accept any punishment you deem necessary. It was my mistake, and I'll take responsibility for it.]There was no reply from Tyler afterward.Reese did not send another text, so he started the car and drove to the hotel. -Half an hour later, Reese arrived at the door of Yelena's room. He pondered briefly before knocking on the door. Soon, he heard a response. "Coming."Yelena opened the door and was surprised to find Reese. "Are you the lad fro

    Liora opened her palm. The outline of the charm was vague, but she could feel its intense energy. She took a deep breath and stood up. After sensing her movement, the spirits glanced at her. Liora turned to look at them and felt the same feeling that stopped her from leaving again!Suppressing the fear, Liora braced herself to walk out of the door.The closer she got to the door, the more intense the gloomy presence became—she felt as if her soul was being crushed. "Don't be scared, Lia!""Try to walk out, Lia! They won't hurt you!""Lia! Axel, Ty, Mr. Gates, and I are waiting for you!"Αfter hearing their voices, Liora shed tears. She gnashed her teeth and continued to stride toward the door, which seemed so close yet remained out of reach. She took a deep breath, raised her hand with the charm, and attempted to walk closer. This time, the spirits all turned to look at her. They rushed forward in unison when they sensed Liora was about to touch the door. Sensing t
