Neil frowned and asked in a chilly tone, "Are you absolutely certain?""Yes," his assistant replied. "The testimonies from those people all match up. I even brought a psychologist as you requested, and the psychologist confirmed they seemed truthful.""Ask them how they were threatened," Neil instructed."Okay, Mr. Xander.""Wait." After a moment of thought, Neil said, "Text me the address. I'm heading over.""Okay."When Neil received the address, he packed a change of clothes and left his bedroom. As he descended the stairs, he ran into Thomas.Noticing Neil's departure, Thomas asked, "Neil, where are you off to?"Neil said seriously, "Uncle Tom, I'm going to meet the individuals who participated in the bidding with Dad in the past."After a brief pause, Thomas asked anxiously, "Have you found any leads?""Yes," Neil confirmed."Who were they?" Thomas asked.Neil answered, "The Jordan family.""The Jordan family?" Thomas turned pale and took a step back. "Could they have
Bernard found himself in a tough spot. "Ms. Love, please don't make things hard for me. I have a family, and I can't afford to lose my job."Although Daniella's eyes were red, she adjusted her tone because she couldn't elicit sympathy from him. "You won't help me, will you? Do you know who's taking charge here?"However, her words only made him chuckle. "Ms. Love, it's unclear who will be in charge here."With that, he picked up the teapot and filled her glass.Anxious, she observed as the tea filled to the brim and splashed onto her hands.With a smile, Bernard gently reminded, "Be careful with this, Ms. Love. It's Master Jordan's prized collection."The scalding water caused Daniella so much pain she felt like ending it all.Grimacing, she glared at Bernard and hissed through clenched teeth. "You'll face divine retribution for doing this to me!"Yet, Bernard merely grinned and offered no response.He finally allowed her to go upstairs at 12:30 p.m., when Casey returned.Hat
"I can't find the exact IP address at all. This person is so cunning," Tyler muttered.While they spoke, Tyler's eyes gleamed with excitement."Let me handle it, okay?" Axel patted Tyler on the shoulder. "You'll get exhausted."Tyler refused. "No, I'm not tired at all. It's rare to find such a challenging opponent."After staring at Tyler for a moment, Axel commented, "Your attitude toward Daddy seems to have changed."Tyler paused his work and looked at Axel, asking, "Why do you say that?""Someone attacked MK's firewall, and you've been busy trying to uncover the culprit," Axel explained.Tyler chuckled. "I don't care about MK. I just want to find out who this elusive person is!"Helplessly, Axel looked at Tyler but kept his silence, respecting Tyler's choice.As long as he knew Tyler's attitude toward Evan had changed.Axel stood beside Tyler and closely examined the few blinking spots, wondering who the attacker might be. At the same time, he pondered why someone would wa
Caroline was about to change into her swimsuit when Greta called her.She glanced at Paige and said, "Take the kids out with Alex and Evan, Paige. I need to take this call."Paige nodded and held Liora's hand, saying, "Come on, Lia. Let's check if your brothers are ready."Liora followed Paige out of the changing room.Caroline answered Greta's call, and the latter asked, "Carol, are you having fun out there?"Caroline sat on a stool and replied, "Yeah, I'm having a great time. What's up, Aunt Greta?"Greta replied, "I'm taking food to the hospital for your grandfather. He's not been well lately."Caroline apologized, "I'm sorry for bothering you, Aunt Greta."Greta comforted her, "We're family, Carol. It's not your fault."Caroline asked, "Why did you call me today?"Greta sighed softly. "Neil went out, and Tom told me he's meeting the people from that year's bidding."Caroline asked anxiously, "Did he go alone?"Greta sounded concerned. "Yes, and it's related to that Jord
Caroline asked, "Did they make you drink?"Neil replied, "No, quite the opposite. I made them drink."Caroline sighed, asking, "Did you obtain any information from them?"Neil responded gloomily. "Let's discuss it when I return. Enjoy these two days."Caroline's heart skipped a beat suddenly. She held the stool's edge tightly, and her voice quivered. "Was it Evan's father, Neil?""Calm down, Carol." Neil cleared his throat. "Just because he threatened those people doesn't mean he harmed or killed our dad.""What kind of threat are we talking about?" Caroline asked in a daze. Neil explained, "Those people claimed that he threatened them to drop the bid."'Threatened…' Caroline instantly recalled what sort of threat it might be.After a moment of silence, Caroline asked again, "Do you think it had something to do with him, like me?" Neil replied, "We lack evidence, and they're not witnesses either. We can't prove it, Carol."Caroline gasped for breath, her lips pursed. "Al
Caroline asked, "What would you do if there's undeniable proof?"Evan replied, "I'll follow the law. But don't you think it's unfair if you reject me for this?"Caroline countered, "What's fair then? Should I accept my enemy's son? Have you ever considered my feelings?"Evan grew cold at Caroline's perceived unreasonableness. "You need to calm down."Caroline persisted, "I can't calm down! The truth is out. Would you calm down if it were you?"Evan remained silent.Caroline sneered and declared, "See? No one can accept it. I'm going home."She rose and headed toward the hot spring area.While looking at her departing figure, Evan picked up his phone tensely and called Reuben.Reuben answered promptly.Evan asked coldly, "How's the investigation into Caroline's father going?"Reuben reported, "I was just about to report to you, Mr. Jordan. We encountered Mr. Xander's men while looking into the people involved in that year's bidding. They claim Ms. Shenton's father's death is
Gritting his teeth, Draco muttered, "I'm certain that person is connected to the Xander family since they're probing into that matter."Bernard asked, "Did Mr. Xander discover anything?"Draco shook his head, replying, "No, Neil didn't look into it previously. Why would he start now?"Bernard's sudden widening of eyes prompted Draco to recall, "Caroline? Hmph! I never have a peaceful day when she's around!""Master Jordan, it may affect you if we don't remove her," Bernard solemnly reminded."I don't have to dirty my hands with these people. There's someone else who wants to deal with her besides me."Smiling, Bernard asked, "I'm sure you have a candidate, don't you?"Draco and Bernard exchanged glances. "Go and instigate Daniella into action, then."After learning Draco's wish, Bernard stood up and left Draco's bedroom.As soon as the door closed, Draco's eyes brimmed with determination. He wouldn't sit idly by while they investigated that matter.-Daniella was dozing in h
The bodyguard approached Caroline and said, "Ms. Shenton, there's someone named Naomi looking for you at the door."Caroline was surprised and wondered why Naomi had come.She stood up and said, "Invite her in quickly."Caroline then went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of juice. Naomi was already greeting the children.Caroline approached Naomi with the glass of juice and asked, "Why did you come, Naomi?"Naomi turned with a gift box in her hands and said, "Ms. Shenton. I brought you a gift."Caroline smiled when she saw the gift. "You didn't have to bring a gift to visit."Naomi replied, "It's basic etiquette to bring a gift when visiting someone's home, Ms. Shenton."Caroline knew Naomi wouldn't give up, given her character. Reluctantly, she accepted the gift. "Thank you.""You're welcome," Naomi said. "You've helped me earn a lot of money."Naomi's words made Caroline tense as she handed Naomi the glass of juice. "You're very straightforward.""Not a problem," N
