Neil: [Thank you, Axel.]Axel: [Don't mention it, Uncle Neil.]Neil opened his laptop, and to his surprise, he found that Ryan had received a 400,000-dollar transaction just two days ago. Neil's face contorted in anger as he gazed at the numbers."No matter how well you treat some people, they can't resist the allure of money! If that's the case, I'll follow Draco's plan and do what needs to be done tomorrow!" Neil exclaimed.-At 8:30 p.m., Caroline returned to Bayview Villa. She spotted Evan and Tyler in the living room, engaged in a game of chess, sitting across from each other.Approaching them, Caroline asked, "Are you playing chess?"Tyler glanced up, his face displaying displeasure. "Mommy, do you know how sly and cunning this man is?"Evan smirked. "Choosing to belittle when you can't match someone's skills? Your mom doesn't support this bad habit."Caroline was surprised to be brought into the conversation suddenly.Tyler quickly corrected himself, saying, "I misspok
"I wouldn't put it that way." Caroline felt uneasy about moving in together so suddenly. She moved closer to Evan and sat down. "It seems like we're rushing things. Most people take it step by step in their relationships. Are we skipping steps just because we have children?""Is this your opinion, or are you worried it might make the kids uncomfortable?" Evan asked.Caroline hesitated. "I think you can handle talking to the kids, but I—"Before she could finish her sentence, Evan pulled her close in a tight embrace."Caroline, I just don't want to be far from you. I'm afraid of losing you again," Evan said in a deep voice, his fast heartbeat echoing in the hug.Despite her initial reluctance to move in together, Caroline could feel Evan's uneasiness, and she found herself becoming more accepting.Caroline smiled. "I understand. I won't ask you to leave."Just then, the bedroom door suddenly swung open, and Kenny barged in, interrupting the intimate moment.Caroline pulled awa
Tyler and Axel exchanged one glance. They could not come up with a reason why they were still on the computer so late at night.On the other hand, Liora chimed in. "Uncle Kenny, I'm up because my brothers woke me with all that noisy typing!"Kenny nodded, acknowledging the noisy keyboards. "You're right. It's Saturday tomorrow. How about we go out?""No!" The three children immediately rejected the idea in unison.They didn't want to relive the experience of being leashed like dogs, as they had in the past.With food in his mouth, Kenny added, "Your mom is spending time with another man. Don't you want to rely on me?"Tyler didn't hold back, exposing Kenny mercilessly, "It seems like you're the one relying on us. If he weren't here, you'd be having dinner with Mommy."Kenny looked dejected. "I feel abandoned when you put it that way."Axel chimed in. "Uncle Kenny, have you noticed that Mommy has been doing much better since she and Daddy reconciled?"Kenny contemplated it for
Axel and Tyler stared at Kenny in astonishment. Kenny scratched his head. "I'm just saying it casually. I'm not the CEO of MK, so I don't know if Evan has any rivals."Axel looked disheartened. "Uncle Kenny might have a point."Tyler asked, "How many MK companies are currently under attack?"Axel replied, "It's safe to say all the companies have been targeted, but no significant progress has been made."Kenny pondered for a moment. "Which company has faced the most attacks?"Axel seemed taken aback. "Honestly, I haven't kept track of that."Tyler furrowed his brow. "It's clear they're trying to divert our attention, and we've lost sight of our primary target."Axel realized, "All we've been doing is tracking this person's location, but we haven't paid attention to the number of attacks on the companies."Tyler turned to Axel. "Can we calculate it now?""Sure, but only Daddy can do that. We'll have to arrange a meeting with the IT departments of all the companies to tally the
Evan confidently stated, "You're planning to make him anxious, then have me provoke him."Neil replied, "There's surveillance in his study, and it's an opportunity we can't miss. What do you think?"Evan pondered for a moment. "Hmm. However, it might be useless for you to capture Bernard because you can't imagine how loyal he is to my father."Neil countered, "It's useless to threaten him, but his family will be his weakness."Evan sneered. "It seems that you haven't done your research properly. Bernard's son is just an adopted son."Neil was stunned. "I haven't done my research properly indeed… What else can be used to threaten him, then?"Evan replied, "My father wouldn't have kept him around if he had obvious evidence against him."Neil sighed. "I'll figure it out after I capture him, anyhow."After Evan ended the call, the bedroom door opened once again.Caroline came to grab her jacket from the closet, and Evan suddenly appeared in front of her when she came out.Startle
Alex fastened Paige's seat belt and turned to Caroline, saying, "I won't be joining. It's enough for you and Kenny to take care of Paige."Paige shrugged. "He wants to meet up with his friends and asked for a day off this morning. I thought it would be fine to let him go."Alex chuckled. "You're the most considerate wife in the world!"Kenny crossed his arms. "Damn! Can you think about us single folks for once?"Alex proudly lifted his chin. "Get yourself a girlfriend and show off to us if you can!""Ever heard of the saying that showing off—" Kenny began, but Caroline quickly interrupted, "Kenny, don't jinx it!"Kenny realized his mistake and apologized. "I spoke out of turn. Sorry, my friend."Alex couldn't be bothered with Kenny, so he closed the door after a brief chat with Paige.Paige slumped in her seat as the car started moving.Caroline frowned, looking at Paige. "Are you feeling unwell?"Paige lazily opened her eyes. "You can tell, huh, Carol?"Caroline asked, "You
Bernard was shocked and angry as he berated Daniella, "Why are you driving like this, Ms. Love?!"Daniella's path was blocked by a car. She looked shocked and replied, "Someone is blocking the road."Bernard's frown deepened when he saw a few men in black attire getting out of the car. He realized the situation as they surrounded their car.He swiftly grabbed Daniella by her hair and barked, "How dare you betray Master Jordan?!"Daniella pushed away Bernard's hand and slapped him. "Who do you think you are to lecture me, you piece of shit!" she shouted.Bernard was livid. "How did you transmit information when your phone has already been confiscated?"Daniella smirked. "Do you think I'd let you know?"She pressed the unlock button, and the bodyguards immediately opened the car door, dragging Bernard out. Daniella abandoned the car and left with them.-Half an hour later, the bodyguards led the blindfolded Bernard into an abandoned warehouse. He didn't struggle but listened to
Bernard sneered. "Don't even think about using my adopted son as a threat just because you know about his existence! I've never cared about him!"Neil pursed his lips, realizing that Evan was right.Neil looked at him coldly. "That makes sense. The people in your employer's entourage are no good. However, I still have the evidence to prove it, even if you won't admit it.""Evidence? What evidence do you have?" Bernard burst out in laughter.'It's been more than two decades since the incident! If Neil could acquire the evidence, why wait until now? All the surveillance footage has been wiped! Neil is definitely trying to deceive me, and I won't take the bait!' he thought.Neil grabbed his phone and brought up the surveillance footage recovered by Axel. He instructed the bodyguard to bring it to Bernard.Bernard's expression changed drastically after he took two glances at it.'How did Neil get the surveillance footage?! How did he find something that was destroyed over 20 years a
