Evan furrowed his brow and questioned, looking at the item Benjamin handed him, "What's this?""It's a cow's tears. You don't believe the girl, right? You can apply this to your eyes. It'll work better than me explaining," Benjamin replied.Evan watched silently, hesitant to use something of unknown origin on his eyes.Reuben took the bottle of cow's tears from Benjamin. "Just put it on the eyes, right?"Benjamin nodded. "You don't need much. It's a precious and rare item.""Okay."Reuben opened the bottle, poured some onto his palm, and applied it to his eyes."Go outside," Benjamin reminded.Reuben followed the instructions, heading outside. As he was about to step out, he noticed a face at the door.It was the face of an elderly woman who appeared to be around 60 years old. She had a noticeable wound on her forehead, with blood seeping from it.Despite his courage, Reuben was startled by the sight and took a few steps back, accidentally bumping into Evan.Annoyed, Evan as
"Reuben witnessed something he shouldn't have. Benjamin mentioned that Lia's path won't be easy," Evan said.Caroline sighed. "I don't know exactly how tough it'll be, but Benjamin's words make me think Lia's future won't be a smooth one."Evan didn't add more, but he did share with Caroline what Benjamin had mentioned about Lia's frequent fever and her third eye opening.Caroline felt conflicted after hearing that. She remained silent for a moment before exhaling deeply. "All we can do now is support Lia.""Hmm, you're back?" Evan changed the subject."Yes. Kenny picked me up, and he's taking me to dinner.""Make sure the food is safe," Evan cautioned.Caroline immediately thought of Zeke when she heard that.She replied, "To be honest, barbecue isn't necessarily unhygienic, just heavily seasoned. You might want to give it a try."Evan furrowed his brow. "I remember you rarely eat things like that. Why the sudden change?""People's tastes can change," she said.After a shor
Caroline gently squeezed Paige's hand, signaling her to remain silent.She understood that Daniella had likely endured a lot of emotional distress, and she didn't want Paige to become the target of Daniella's anger.Paige retorted, "Why are you holding my hand? She deserves to be called out! Haven't you forgotten how she bullied you before?"Caroline quickly let go of Paige's hand.As they walked away, she asked, "Paige, why provoke her when you know what kind of person she is?"Paige was furious. "Why should I care? I can't stand her, and she's finally facing the consequences! She should be grateful she's still alive!" Caroline continued trying to persuade her, "Aren't you worried she might seek revenge? Even if you're not, think about the baby in your womb.""She can try if she dares!" Paige raised her voice a bit.Caroline sternly interrupted, "That's enough, Paige! Are we still going for the checkup?"Paige pouted. "I'm just trying to stand up for you!""I appreciate it,
Azure left without drinking her coffee after exchanging numbers with Daniella. Daniella became more interested as she watched Azure walk away. She decided to teach Paige a lesson for gloating over her misfortune. Paige was also Caroline's best friend.'Caroline won't be happy if I seek revenge against Paige. She took everything from me, so why should I go easy on her?' she thought.Daniella suddenly came up with a plan. She figured out how to teach Paige a lesson.-After her physical examination, Azure headed to the Prices.She ran into Alex, who was leaving the house angrily.Azure quickly asked, "Alex, why are you so upset?"Alex glanced at her and replied, "Nothing. I'm leaving!"He got into the car and drove off.Azure thought for a moment and then entered the villa.Rebecca was sitting on the living room sofa, breathing heavily.Azure approached Rebecca and asked with concern, "Did you and Alex have an argument again, Mrs. Price?"Tears welled up in Rebecca's eyes a
Caroline and Paige took the elevator and walked out of the outpatient building. All of a sudden, a figure blocked their path. They looked over abruptly, and the person slapped Paige's face before they could respond to the situation. Caroline's eyes widened in shock, and she hastily pulled Paige to stand behind her. She glared at Rebecca and said sternly, "What are you doing?!""What am I doing? Why don't you ask your friend what sort of shady things she has been doing behind my son's back!" Rebecca scoffed and pointed at Paige. She spoke in a loud yet sharp voice that drew the attention of passersby. Rebecca's slap and scolding infuriated Paige, especially considering her pregnancy.Paige pulled back Caroline and snarled, "How dare you hit me?!"Rebecca said, "I hit you because you're pregnant with someone else's child, yet you put it on my son! My son will never be the scapegoat!"Paige was stunned. "I'm pregnant with someone else's child? How dare you make baseless ac
Paige defended him, "Don't blame him! His mother's always been difficult. He must've tried his best!"Paige hugged Caroline tightly, resting her head on Caroline's abdomen. "My face hurts, Carol. Can you check if it's swollen?"Caroline chuckled and gently touched Paige's warm cheek. "You're still worried about your looks at a time like this?"Paige replied, "I just want to be pretty. Thank you for standing up for me earlier."Caroline reassured her, "You're being silly, Paige. I did what was right."-After leaving the Prices, Alex went to meet Evan. He lay on the sofa of his office, staring at the ceiling with despair.Evan asked, "What's troubling you now? You think MK is a sanctuary for your problems?"Alex weakly confessed, "I had a fight with my mother."Focused on his documents, Evan nonchalantly said, "If it's about Paige, it's expected."Alex sat up and retorted, "You shouldn't downplay this, Evan. You should be more supportive."The office door suddenly swung open,
[What does she mean by girls who go to bars are considered immodest?][How dare she hit a pregnant woman?! Has she no shame?][Fuck! Why didn't she ask her son about his baby instead of her daughter-in-law?][She's from one of the top three influential families of Angelbay! This is embarrassing!][TYC's CEO has a good character, so her friend is definitely not that kind of person. I support them!]-Caroline was relieved to see the positive comments online. Alex soon arrived, accompanied by Evan and Lucas. Caroline and Paige were astonished by the presence of the three men and exchanged glances.Alex hurried to Paige and gently cupped her face with a pained expression. "Does it still hurt, Paige?"Paige shook her head. "Not anymore...""I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. My mother caused trouble for you," Alex said, his voice heavy with guilt.Paige patted his hand and smiled. "It's alright. I know you've been trying your best."Caroline's unease faded as she witnessed th
Daniella's phone lit up with a flurry of text messages as soon as she powered it on. They were all from Neil. She began to read them one by one.Neil: [I can save you, but you have to do three things for me.]Neil: [First, find a way to obtain evidence of Draco's attempt to murder me.]Neil: [Second, figure out how to get Bernard to come with you. I need to take down Bernard for the best shot at toppling Draco.]Neil: [Third, tell me Draco''s plan and method to murder me immediately so I can plan my countermeasure.]Daniella quickly replied.Daniella: [I need help. No one can know about this phone. If possible, plant recording devices in his study."After Eira coerced Neil into drinking juice, he responded to Daniella's message.Neil: [Leave it to me. I'll update you when it's done.]Daniella felt a wave of relief wash over her. 'I'm going to send these people to hell one by one next!' she thought.-The following morning, Alex received a summons to meet Evan at MK.Alex wa
