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. Seeing Casey's call, she picked up and asked, "Where are you?"Casey chuckled. "Why the rush to see me?"Suppressi
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
Daniella was rendered speechless. 'Why does Casey still need Caroline if I'm capable of helping him? Casey must be trying to get close to Caroline because I still haven't done enough! This must not happen again! I have to figure out a way to get Casey to take the initiative to seek my help!' she wondered.-Meanwhile, at the hospital entrance.Evan abruptly pulled Caroline into the car. After shutting the door, his anger became evident as he demanded, "Wet tissue, Reuben!"Startled, Reuben quickly handed Evan the requested wet tissue, though he was puzzled.Evan took the tissue and roughly wiped Caroline's hand, causing her skin to sting. She wanted to pull her arm away, but Evan snapped, "Try moving again!"Caroline frowned and retorted, "Evan, if you have an anger issue, take it out on someone else!"Evan tossed the wet tissue out of the window. "I never interfered in your relationship with Neil. So why do you keep meeting Casey?"Caroline was now agitated. "Why should you
"He's not a good person, and you have no idea how cunning he is," Evan said. "Caroline, promise me not to let yourself get hurt because of me."Tears streamed from Caroline's reddened eyes as she fought back sobs, biting her lower lip to stifle her cries. The pain in her chest made it hard to breathe after hearing his belated apology.'Why did he wait so long to say this? Why now, when our relationship can't continue?'A moist spot appeared on her shoulder.Caroline's body grew tense. 'Is he crying?'He had seemed so unshakable, impervious to emotions. But there he was with tears in his eyes, begging her to stay away from Casey.Caroline tried to speak, but her words choked in her throat. The car filled with a heavy sorrow.Evan eventually withdrew his arms and said tremblingly, "I won't bother you from now on. Go."Caroline wiped her tears and whispered, "Okay."She opened the door and left.Reuben was astonished at how quickly Caroline had departed.'Didn't Mr. Jordan forc
Eira held Caroline and told Kenny, "Let's take Carol upstairs to rest."Kenny stepped aside and watched as Eira assisted Caroline up the stairs. He stood there, lost in thought for a long while before finally calling Paige.Kenny sat down at the dining table while Paige answered his call.Paige sounded groggy. "What's up?""Paige, G is upset because of Evan again," Kenny said, stirring his pasta but too distracted to eat.Paige asked, "My boss? Why now?"Kenny replied, "I'm not sure. She mentioned earlier that their relationship is over for good."Paige sighed. "Carol hasn't moved on at all."Kenny asked, "What do you mean?"Paige explained, "I don't know the details, but it's like losing a family member when someone who's been in her heart for eight years suddenly disappears from her life.""Evan is gone? Why didn't I hear about this?" Kenny exclaimed in a state of panic.Paige scolded him, "You're clueless!"Kenny retorted, "You said it first!"Paige was frustrated. "Wha
Axel refused to let his father send Daniella away, especially with his upcoming surgery looming. He struggled to suppress the nausea rising in his throat.Only when he heard Evan's voice did Axel's body finally relax."Come in," Evan invited Daniella.Daniella nodded and entered the room with Evan, feigning sadness when she saw Axel curled up on the bed."Is Axel not awake at this time?" she asked.Evan glanced at Axel's back, hesitated briefly, and replied, "No, he's still asleep.""May I come closer to check on him?" Daniella asked.Axel clutched the blanket even tighter."No, please stay here and leave whenever you want," Evan said.Daniella waved her hand hastily. "I'll be fine. I'll sit here until he wakes up."Axel's heart sank. 'I thought she was just going to drop by briefly. How long can I pretend to be asleep? I want to eat breakfast and gather energy for the day,' he thought.Bracing himself, Axel turned over and opened his eyes as if he had just woken up. He look
Caroline was amazed. She chuckled and asked, "Are you trying to make things hard for me, Lia?"Liora had her hands on her hips. "I want to be Tyler's big sister so I can tease him!"Tyler lowered his gaze and said, "You can't beat me in a fight even if you're a year older."He looked at Caroline and said, "Mommy, I need to tell you something.""What is it? You look serious," Caroline said.Tyler said solemnly, "Lia and I want to meet Axel."Liora nodded. "I miss Axel too, Mommy. Can we visit his house?"Caroline thought about the possibility of encountering Evan if the children went to Axel's house. To avoid this, she said apologetically, "I can't allow that, my children. Just wait a little longer. I believe Axel will be back at school soon.""Why? Axel hasn't been to school in a while. Will he still come back?" Liora gasped in shock.Caroline didn't want to divulge her situation with Evan, so she could only explain, "He will, for sure. You can call him if you miss him, but do
