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
"Sure," answered Kenny. Caroline asked, "How are the children?"Kenny said, "I was too busy with the lawyer yesterday afternoon, so Naomi helped me send the children home. However, I sent them to school this morning."Caroline suddenly raised her voice. "You got Naomi to pick them up from school? Did she hurt the children?""No! I checked them, and they were fine when I got home. Lia told me that Naomi bought them milkshakes," Kenny said.Caroline felt slightly relieved. "Is that so…""You must be overthinking. What if she doesn't have ulterior motives toward the children? I can tell from the factory's fire incident that her target is the company. However, who is her backer if she really is the culprit?" Kenny asked.Caroline said, "I don't know either, and I'm rather troubled by this."She suddenly remembered Josie."I shall end the conversation, Kenny. I need to call Josie to check," Caroline said."Ah, alright."Before she hung up, she said, "I think Evan will be picking
Liora cowered in fear, lowering her head when she was shouted at. "I... I used the wrong name..."Evan smirked, thinking, 'The children know I'm their father, just as expected. Tyler's expression and Liora's subconscious address state this fact.'Evan said with a smile. "I don't mind if you like to call me that."Liora's face blushed scarlet, but she didn't have the courage to speak. She looked at Tyler in silence.Tyler said coldly, "Let's get into the car!"Reuben greeted Tyler and Liora after they got into the car, saying, "Hello, young sir and miss."Liora greeted Reuben because she liked him. "You're here, Mr. Reuben!"Tyler said nonchalantly, "Hello, Mr. Reuben."Reuben complimented them, "You look very nice in your uniforms, young sir and miss."Liora giggled. "Are we going to pick up Axel now?"Reuben looked at Evan, who was getting in the car. "Are we heading to Bayview Villa now, sir?"Evan confirmed, "Yes, we're picking up Axel.""Alright."-They arrived at Ba
Kenny pondered and said, "I think it stands for Give. Why are you asking this out of the blue?"'Give… Giving… Sacrificing…'Evan found himself lost in thought. 'Is she suggesting she's been constantly sacrificing herself? Is this sacrifice related to our relationship or to supporting her parents? If Caroline is G, why didn't she tell me sooner?'No, it's not that she never mentioned it. I just never asked. She's remarkably adept at concealing her identity from the world. Despite her reputation, she insists on growing her company step by step. Her determination is admirable.'Without uttering a word, Evan silently entered the car.Kenny gazed at him, perplexed. "What's going on with him?"-As the children headed to the playroom in Villa Rosa, Evan retreated to the study, contemplating the situation. He decided to call Caroline, and she promptly answered."Hello?"Evan hesitated before asking, "Could you please tell me who 'Give' refers to?"Caroline seemed taken aback. "Who
Caroline was surprised when she opened the door and found Zeke standing there, not Evan. She asked, "Mr. Jung? What brings you here at this hour?"Zeke replied with a faint smile, "I couldn't take you out for dinner tonight due to a business gathering. Would you like to join me for supper if you're okay with it?"After a moment's thought, Caroline agreed, "Alright then. Please wait for a moment, Mr. Jung."Zeke glanced at Caroline in her pajamas and blushed. "I'm sorry. I'll wait for you outside."Caroline nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed, and closed the door. Her heart raced as she hurried to get dressed.She wondered, 'Why did I mistake Mr. Jung's voice for Evan's? How can he be here when he just took the children back to Villa Rosa today?'After composing herself and changing, she opened the door.Zeke was waiting calmly outside and said, "Let's go."Caroline nodded, and they walked out of the hotel and got into Zeke's car. He asked, "What would you like to eat?"Caroline
Caroline replied, "The triplets are five years old."Zeke paused briefly and glanced at Caroline's slender figure. "I couldn't tell that you have three kids and still maintain such great shape.""You're very kind, Mr. Jung. Now that the contract is signed, are you available tomorrow morning, Mr. Jung?" Caroline took a sip of water, her face slightly blushing."I am. I'll have the bodyguard pick you up tomorrow. What time do you usually wake up, Ms. Shenton?" Zeke asked.Caroline answered, "I usually get up around 7:00 a.m."She habitually woke up at 7:00 a.m. to care for her children and only slept in if she was exceptionally tired."Alright. I'll have the bodyguard wait for you at 7:30 a.m.," Zeke confirmed.Caroline nodded. "Certainly, Mr. Jung.""Don't call me Mr. Jung anymore. It's too formal. We're partners, but we can also be friends, right?" Zeke suggested.Caroline found it a bit challenging to address him by his first name.Zeke smiled. "You don't mind if I call you
Tyler furrowed his brow and sat beside Liora, gently running his fingers through her hair."I know you'll feel better after getting an injection later," Tyler reassured her.Axel picked up a warm glass of water and asked, "Would you like some water, Lia?"Liora shook her head, her face contorted with discomfort. "No, I don't feel like drinking. I feel like throwing u—"In an instant, Liora covered her mouth, pushed Axel aside, and rushed to the bathroom.Tyler and Axel quickly followed her into the bathroom.Concerned, Axel tried to recall what Liora had eaten the previous night as her face turned ghastly pale from vomiting. He struggled to pinpoint the culprit.However, Tyler and Axel had no symptoms.Soon, the housekeeper arrived with Reuben in tow.Reuben's eyes widened in shock at the sight of Liora vomiting bile near the bathroom entrance. He gently patted her back and said, "Ms. Liora, I'm taking you to the hospital."Tears welled up in Liora's eyes as she whimpered, "I
The bodyguard nodded and turned to wake up Daniella, but she remained asleep. This made Bernard impatient. "Wake her up!" he ordered.The bodyguard slapped Daniella's face, shocking the other patients nearby. Someone approached and questioned, "Why are you doing this to the patient? Look at her condition!"Bernard smiled and replied, "We're just trying to wake a criminal."The person turned to look at Daniella in shock and then walked away. Daniella finally woke up after receiving a second slap. Her body jolted, and her eyes opened abruptly. Seeing Bernard, she was terrified and asked, "W-What do you want?"Bernard gestured to the two bodyguards and signaled them to close the curtain. They followed his orders.Reuben carefully approached with Liora in his arms, paying no attention to the patient who was staring at him. He heard Bernard's voice from behind the curtain. "Ms. Love, you don't want to be tormented like this, do you?"While enduring the pain in her head, Daniella
