Grayson looked at Daniella with sympathy and said, "You care so much about the boy, huh, my child?"Daniella tightly gripped Grayson's arm, her face filled with panic. "Please don't stop me, Grandpa. I've been terribly cruel to Axel before. I want to make amends and keep him company until he fully recovers this time. He's the child I raised... Please grant my wish for the sake of my deceased child."Grayson sighed as he saw tears rolling down Daniella's cheeks. "I won't insist on stopping you, but you should know that the Jordan boy doesn't care about you at all."Daniella replied, "I don't need him to treat me kindly. I just want to do what's right and have a clear conscience."Grayson asked, "Must it be this way?"With a serious nod, Daniella said, "Yes, Grandpa. I'm begging you.""Alright, alright. I won't stop you, but please avoid any dangerous actions. I'm heading to the company for a meeting about the 100th-anniversary celebration, so I won't be able to visit you frequentl
Evan furrowed his brow as he also struggled to understand the situation. 'Why won't Caroline admit that she's part of the Xanders?'Respecting Caroline's privacy, Evan decided not to pry further since she refused to discuss it. He believed giving her some time to calm down would be best.-Meanwhile, Daniella sat in her ward, nervously nibbling on her finger as she contemplated ways to stay close to Evan.After pondering for a while, she suddenly remembered Hector, whom Casey had intentionally disguised himself as. She realized it had been some time since she sought his help. As such, she dialed Hector's number.After a brief delay, he answered.Daniella said flatteringly, "I apologize for bothering you again, Mr. Hendrix."Hector responded curtly. "Get to the point."Daniella proceeded to explain Evan's reluctance to let her be near Axel.Hector scoffed and advised, "If you can't break them up, your best bet is to turn public opinion against Caroline."Perplexed, Daniella as
Paige's anger flared instantly. "I'll tear your mouth apart if you keep spreading rumors!"The long-haired woman was taken aback. "I'm not spreading rumors!"The short-haired woman showed her phone to Caroline and Paige. On the screen was a post with a striking title on an obscure forum: [Evan Jordan's engagement with Ms. Love canceled, and the shocking reason behind it is TYC's CEO!]Paige snatched the phone and read it carefully, her expression souring.Caroline asked, "What does it say?"Paige didn't reply directly but instead asked the two women, "What's the name of this forum app?""It's called Jack of All Trades," the woman replied.Paige returned the phone. "I see. However, that's false. The real reason was because Daniella abused a child!"Caroline said, "There's no need to explain this, Paige."Ignoring Caroline, Paige walked away and stated, "It must be explained!"Caroline looked puzzled. "What did the post say? Why are you so serious?"Paige remained silent as sh
Caroline replied, "More or less."Paige blinked, bewildered. "So, what's your plan?"Caroline smirked, handing the phone back to Paige. "Just wait patiently."She didn't explain what she was waiting for.Caroline finished her shopping calmly and returned home. Paige thought Caroline's anger had driven her mad, not knowing what game she was playing.Shortly after they got back, Caroline began receiving calls from unknown numbers. Caroline hung up on all of them while Paige anxiously waited.Meanwhile, the post on the small website gained momentum. The story of Caroline seducing Evan as a mistress spread across the Internet. The online community scolded her for being shameless, with Daniella seen as the victim. TYC's reputation suffered greatly as well.Upon hearing the news, Kenny immediately called home.Eira picked up and shouted, "Carol, Kenny's on the line!"Caroline got up and answered, "Hello."The agitated Kenny asked, "G! What's happening on the Internet? It's a Saturd
Eira had never witnessed such a breathtaking scene outdoors. The place teemed with people, but these individuals were hurling rocks at the house while berating it.Nonetheless, she was determined to protect Paige, following Caroline's orders.Eira reassured, "Don't worry, Carol!"Caroline nodded and ascended the stairs, simultaneously dialing Alex. Alex finally answered the phone upon reaching her bedroom, sounding somewhat sluggish. "Hello?"Caroline settled in front of the dressing table. "Alex, could you please help me pick up the children from Merlin? I'll inform their teacher. Please, kindly look after them for the next few days."Alex sensed something was amiss. "What's going on?"Caroline replied, "Go online. Thank you for doing this."Alex agreed, "Sure."Caroline proceeded to apply makeup after the call. -Meanwhile, at Villa Rosa.Evan's expression was exceedingly grave. Reuben gazed at him with concern. "What should we do now, sir? Ms. Shenton is facing a cha
Caroline arrived at TYC's building entrance, dressed extravagantly. She briefly glanced at the journalists and internet users before heading inside. She had informed the security guards in advance, so they allowed her to enter without any issues.As Caroline was entering the building, some journalists called out, questioning why she was allowed in while they weren't.Startled by the shout, Caroline briefly thought she had been recognized. A security guard used a loudspeaker to address the crowd, explaining, "She works for the company!"Caroline paused briefly before continuing to the elevator area. When the elevator doors opened, ringing phones and distressed employees greeted her. She felt relieved and made a mental note of these dedicated employees who had stood by the company during this challenging time.Once inside the office, the employees looked at the extravagantly dressed Caroline in astonishment. They couldn't recognize her due to her thick makeup and only realized he
Tyler shrugged. "That's the truth. Your tears and runny nose just keep going.""I'm worried about Mommy! You don't seem to care about her because you're so calm!" Liora objected.Tyler patted her head. "I love in my own way while you express it outwardly.""Argh! Today, I'm going to stuff your mouth with my stinky socks!" Liora threw herself onto Tyler, pounding him in anger.Alex was rendered speechless. He could tell these children were anything but ordinary—their resilience surprised him. These were Evan's children, as no one else in Angelbay possessed such formidable genes.Suddenly, Alex had an idea. He wanted to impress Evan, so he dialed his number.Evan answered with exhaustion, "Speak!"The children fell silent upon hearing Evan's voice. Liora listened attentively.Alex cleared his throat. "I've got something that'll make you jealous, busy man!"Evan grew impatient. "I swear, I'll cut your tongue if you can't speak properly!""Hey, you ungrateful brat! Tyler and Lior
While Caroline observed the staff eagerly indulging in the grand feast, she turned to Josie and smiled. "Take note of all the staff here. Those who didn't show up will be let go after Mardi Gras."Enlightened, Josie understood why Caroline wanted to buy others meals.Kenny leaned against Caroline, his body exhausted. "You're quite something, winning over the staff and eliminating disloyal ones simultaneously. That's ruthless!" he commented.Caroline shot Kenny a sidelong glance and retorted, "I don't want to be taken for granted."Kenny's eyes twitched with resentment. "Fine, you're a force to be reckoned with. Care to share your next move?"Caroline grinned. "Just wait and see."Kenny gnashed his teeth in frustration and remarked, "You treat me like an outsider! You didn't even clue me in on your plans!""It wouldn't have made a difference telling you." Caroline pushed Kenny away. "Just focus on your job."-Daniella received numerous calls from journalists while at Grand Eas
