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
"Mommy, I don't know how to put on these shoes. Please help me, Mommy," Liora said all of a sudden. Caroline noticed Liora and knelt to assist her in putting on the ski boots. Paige, feeling an itch on her arms, rubbed them against her clothing for relief.Once they were fully geared up, Caroline supported Paige's arm and held Liora's hand as they exited the changing room. Kenny and the two boys were waiting outside.Axel gazed at Paige's belly for a moment before saying, "Godmother, I'll stay with you, and we'll build a snowman here."Paige's eyes lit up. "Aren't you going to ski?"Axel shook his head. "I'm not allowed to engage in vigorous exercise right now, so it's a good opportunity for me to keep you company."Paige glanced at Axel's ski boots and could tell it was fine for him to play briefly. He chose not to ski to be with her.Paige's eyes welled up with tears, and she was visibly moved. "Thank you, Axel. Let's go play."Axel followed Paige to build a snowman, whi
Paige and Axel quickly built two snowmen on the other side. They were just about to take photos with their phones when they heard Liora's scream."Move away, Godmother!"Paige and Axel subconsciously looked over. Before they could see clearly, Liora zoomed past them, being pulled by Kenny. They felt the wind blow by and heard Kenny exclaim, "Whoa!"Axel and Paige were dumbfounded.Meanwhile, their snowmen had been knocked over and disappeared. They were rendered speechless.-At Jordan Residence.Draco paced restlessly in his study after failing to receive Bernard's call. 'It shouldn't take this long to deal with Neil in theory, but it's been half a day already,' he thought.Draco was about to call Bernard when he heard a knock at the door. Anxiously, he opened it, thinking it was Bernard. To his surprise, Evan stood there in a black overcoat with a cold expression."What are you doing here?" Draco asked in agitation.Evan showed the folder in his hand. "It seems like you'v
Draco frowned, contemplating how to further subdue Evan.A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.Draco's voice thundered, "Come in and speak!"The door creaked open, and a bodyguard entered, announcing, "Sir, Ms. Love is back."Draco's face darkened. "Just her?"The bodyguard nodded. "Yes.""Bring her here," Draco ordered."Understood, sir," the bodyguard replied before leaving.As the bodyguard departed, Draco gazed at Evan sternly. "Get out of here!"Evan rose slowly, looked at Draco, and left the room.As Evan walked through the house, he crossed paths with Daniella, who was following the bodyguard into the living room. Their eyes locked, and Daniella beseeched him with a pleading glance.Evan glanced back at her and whispered, "Do what you must to escape this place."Daniella clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and followed the bodyguard calmly into the study.After Daniella entered, the bodyguard closed the door behind her. In the study, she met Draco's cold
Lance said, "Please stay calm, sir. I'll have my subordinates search for Bernard."Draco urged, "Do it quickly!""Yes, sir!"Unbeknownst to Draco, his orders were recorded as voice clips and sent to Evan and Neil's phones.-Evan left Jordan Residence and called Neil as soon as he received the evidence.Half an hour later, Evan and Neil arrived at Villa Rosa. They settled in the living room, and a maid served them coffee.Neil remarked, "Evan, your approach is better. Now that we have the evidence, we can simply report it to the police."Evan raised his coffee cup, saying, "We can't do that just yet."Neil was incredulous. "Why not? Do you hesitate because he's your father?"Evan shot Neil a look. "I wouldn't have worked with you on this if I had any compassion for him."Neil asked, "Then why can't we report to the police?"Evan took a sip of coffee, explaining, "My father is the chairman of MK with a 45% share in the company. If something happens to him, Casey will inherit
