Evan was upset. Evan: [If you send something like this to me again, I'll block you!]Daniella replied with a simple: [Okay.]-At Jordan Residence.Daniella was chained to the foot of the bed with a metal collar around her neck. Her messy hair hid her bruised face, and she looked resentful. Casey had caught her when she went to Draco's study last night. He had questioned her, but she refused to explain, leading to her current situation.Casey had even taken her phone, but she had two backup phones that saved her.As Daniella heard footsteps at the door, she quickly turned off her phone and hid it under the mattress. When the door opened, it wasn't Casey but Bernard who entered.Daniella looked up and asked, "What are you doing here?"Bernard approached Daniella, placed a bowl in front of her, and said, "It's time to eat, Ms. Love."Daniella examined the bowl containing only clear broth and angel hair pasta. She clenched her fists and asked, "Is this even edible?""Ms. Love,
Noticing Neil standing still, Eira asked, "Let's go, Neil?"Neil replied, "Sure."They hopped into the car, and the driver took the wheel while Neil responded to Daniella's message.Neil: [What's up with Evan's father?]Daniella: [He and his butler want to take you out!]Neil's expression turned serious. 'He is getting restless, as expected.'Neil: [What else did he say to you?]Daniella: [Nothing more. But I think he's after your secret and wants to silence you.]Neil: [What do you want to discuss with me?]Daniella: [I can't say much now. Casey will be back soon. I'll find a good time to talk.]Neil stared at his phone without replying.Eira looked at him with concern. "Neil, you don't look well. Did something happen?"Neil put down his phone. "Evan's father wants Daniella to kill me.""Daniella? The one who posed as your sister, right?" Eira was shocked."That's her."Eira said, "So, Daniella told you this?"Neil nodded. "I think she's seeking help."Neil remembered
After half an hour, the car pulled up in front of a restaurant. The bodyguard escorted Caroline to the restaurant's second floor. He halted as they reached a private room and bid farewell, saying, "Mr. Jung is inside. I shall bid my farewell, Ms. Shenton."Caroline replied with a smile, "Thank you."The bodyguard departed, and a waiter offered, "I'll get the door for you, miss."Caroline nodded, and the waiter opened the door.Caroline spotted two individuals inside. The man appeared handsome and composed, while a calm, obedient girl with striking facial features sat beside him. She wore a pastel dress and a dusty pink scarf, with long hair flowing down her back and crystal-clear eyes. This girl seemed to be around the same age as Caroline's children but possessed a similar calmness to Axel.The two individuals looked up when they heard the commotion.Caroline smiled at them and greeted, "Mr. Jung."Zeke stood and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Shenton."Caroline appro
Caroline was shocked and wondered if Siobhan was just a five-year-old child. Siobhan was capable of handling politeness with impeccable finesse. Zeke thought about it. "I might be able to take you there on a trip during the weekend."Siobhan nodded and told Caroline, "I might need to bother you on the weekend, miss."Caroline said smilingly, "It's fine. You can play with my three children by then."Siobhan nodded. "Of course."After the meal, Caroline and Zeke exchanged numbers and social media handles. Zeke ordered the bodyguard to send Caroline to the hotel he had booked for her while he took Siobhan home.-Caroline wanted to lie down when she arrived at the hotel room, but someone knocked on the door before she could walk to the sofa. Caroline got up to open the door. A woman in uniform said, "Ms. Shenton, Mr. Jung has commissioned me to provide a full body massage to you."Caroline's phone rang in her pocket just as the woman's voice faded. Caroline said, "Pleas
Kenny handed the car keys to Naomi and said, "Thanks for doing this. Remember to let me know when you're done picking them up!"Naomi nodded, clutching the car keys tightly, and watched Kenny walk away. She wanted a chance to spend time with the kids when no one else was around.Leaving her documents behind, Naomi walked out of the office without the bodyguard. Josie, who had recently returned, ran into Naomi just as she was getting into her car. Without much thought, Josie hopped into her car and followed Naomi. After all, Caroline had ordered her to keep a close eye on Naomi.-Naomi quickly approached Tyler and Liora at the school entrance after their teacher brought them out. The kids knew Naomi, so they didn't hesitate to leave with her.In the car, Liora asked, "Where's Uncle Kenny, miss?"Naomi replied casually, "He couldn't pick you up because he's in a hurry to finalize a contract."Liora said, "Alright then. Thank you for doing this, miss."Checking the rearview mir
Naomi was shocked, her mind immediately drifting to her younger sister. Her sister, five years younger than her, would always protect her without hesitation, even with her small frame.This protective behavior hadn't changed even as her sister had grown into an adult. That's why Naomi couldn't fathom why her sister had pushed her aside and been struck by the car…Tears welled up in Naomi's eyes as she gently placed Liora by the side. She stood and said, "I'll go get you another drink."Liora replied, "Thank you, miss."Naomi made her way to the counter to order a fresh milkshake. However, when she returned to their table, Liora was nowhere to be seen.The waitress cleaning the floor chimed in. "Your girl just went to the restroom. She left a moment ago."Naomi nodded and took her seat. Her gaze fixated on the milkshake before her as she clutched the vial containing Daniella's blood in her pocket. Doubts gnawed at her. Was what she had done the right thing?Not far off, Josie obs
Caroline noticed that it was 6:00 a.m. and called Kenny. "I don't think he's awake. Do you want me to go over so early and wait for him to wake up?"Kenny replied, "Your eagerness is commendable! Get up now and bring him the contract, quickly!"Caroline hesitated. "But won't it seem like I'm too desperate to get it signed? I don't want to appear that way."Kenny took a moment to think, then said, "You're right. Forget it. Wait until later to go. Just remember to make a photocopy of the contract.""Okay," Caroline agreed before hanging up, though she was wide awake.She understood Kenny's intentions but still found them excessive.Caroline got out of bed, ready to freshen up, when her phone rang again. It was Evan calling.She sighed, wondering why everyone was calling so early. "Hello?"Noticing Caroline's alertness, Evan asked, "Are you up early?"Caroline explained, "Your call came right after Kenny's."Evan shared, "I plan to take the children to Villa Rosa today. I'd rath
In Zeke's office. Zeke said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Shenton. I was too busy this morning."Caroline smiled and said, "It's fine. I took the opportunity to stroll around State City while you were busy."Zeke said, "I'm sorry I couldn't take you on a tour of Staten City. I promise to be a better host next time."Caroline replied, "You're very courteous, Mr. Jung."Zeke asked, "Did you bring the contract, Ms. Shenton? Can I have a look at it first?"Caroline nodded and retrieved the contract from her bag, passing it to Zeke.Zeke examined it and frowned. "One piece of garment costs less than 30 dollars? As far as I know, the fabric material in the workshop isn't cheap."Caroline nodded and explained, "That's true. However, I intend to collaborate with you on a long-term basis, so we can trim our profits.""Let's amend it. You'll be at a disadvantage this way, considering I'm occupying production time that's usually used for other clothes," Zeke handed the contract back to Caroline.Ca
