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
"Do you really like it here?" Evan's voice suddenly came from the spiral stairs.Evan descended the stairs slowly, dressed in a black suit, illuminated by a faint golden light from the lamp. His natural elegance and prestige were quite striking.Liora gazed at Evan in a trance and whispered, "Daddy is just like the black prince from fairytales!"Βaffled, Tyler turned to her. "Black… prince?"Liora's eyes sparkled as she nodded emphatically. "Yes, because he's wearing a black suit!"Tyler couldn't help but picture a black horse with Evan's face on it. How abstract! He couldn't quite grasp it.Evan approached Liora and Tyler, but Alex leaned in before he could say anything.Playfully, Alex complained, "I'm exhausted. I drove for so long and didn't even have a chauffeur with me!"Evan shot Alex a quick, stern look. "Step away from me!"Pouting, Alex protested, "You're so ungrateful and mean! I might just file a complaint against you!"Evan replied icily, "There's a Chateau Petru
"Don't worry," Tyler reassured. "But you need to be more careful."Caroline leaned against the wall and replied, "Alright, I won't leave the company easily."After a brief pause, Tyler said, "Mommy, I was talking about when you left Angelbay."Caroline's face went pale as she asked, "What did you find out, Ty?"Tyler pursed his lips and started typing on the keyboard. "I'll send you a video, Mommy."Soon after, Caroline's phone vibrated. She minimized the video call and clicked on the video Tyler had sent her. Her eyes widened as she watched it. "Where did you get this video, Ty?""I got it from Axel. Well, the netizens are really good at digging for clues. Mommy, this video is the weapon for you to fight back."Caroline was shocked as she nodded. "You're right. This video is crucial. If that incident remains a secret, I'll reveal it at the best time."With a chuckle, Tyler said, "I believe in you, Mommy."Caroline felt much better after being approved by her son. "Ty, be go
Caroline put her phone away and stretched, gazing at the dazzling night view outside with a smile. A good show was about to begin.-Two days later, the trend of returns and refunds had stabilized. Some customers didn't request returns because they bought the clothes due to G's fame.After compensating the customers, the exhausted staff rested on the table.Josie entered Caroline's office and handed her the financial report for the return sales. "Ms. Shenton, it's stable now."Caroline rubbed her brows and asked, "How much of the company's working capital remains?"Josie replied, "Around 140,000 dollars."Caroline nodded calmly. "Just as I expected."Josie voiced her concern. "Ms. Shenton, are we really not going to respond? The journalists are still downstairs."Caroline leaned back in her chair. "No, we won't. We can't afford to let our guard down at this critical time."Confused, Josie added, "Okay, but there's another issue, Ms. Shenton.""What is it?"Josie reported, "
Caroline was at a loss for words, wondering if she could make up for Evan's loss. Given her current circumstances, she doubted her ability to compensate for even a fraction of his loss."I don't possess such power yet," Caroline replied."But have you ever considered making it up to him?" Scott persisted.Caroline was rendered speechless, realizing she had never entertained that thought. It might never have crossed her mind if Scott hadn't mentioned it. Was it because of her close bond with Evan?Her silence prompted Scott to chuckle. "I can see you view him and me differently.""I'm sorry, Scott," Caroline said, overwhelmed by guilt."I don't need your apologies," Scott replied casually. "I told you I was willing to help. I'll treat you to a meal once this is over.""Mardi Gras is approaching," Caroline added gloomily. "Alright, come watch the parades with us."-At Vinoen.Evan played with his two children using newly acquired Lego pieces. Despite his greater intelligence,
