Caroline gazed at Evan intently.'Why doesn't he just spill the beans all at once instead of making me ask questions one at a time? On the other hand, why did Evan decide not to report it to the police?' she thought. Caroline pondered the dynamics within the Jordan family.Moments later, her eyes grew calm. "Reporting it to the police could cause irreparable harm to MK. Additionally, your father's shares won't be passed down to you. I support your idea," she assured.Evan seemed grateful as he delicately brushed away a stray strand of Caroline's hair. He softly asked, "Do you know what I appreciate most about you?"Caroline blushed and looked away. "I don't."Evan smirked. "You're considerate. You could certainly handle your father's murderer through legal channels, but you chose to step back for my sake."Caroline was taken aback. "I didn't choose to step back, but I believe that if you can do this for me, why can't I wait a little longer for you?"Her face reddened, and she
Caroline walked over to Scott and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"Scott smiled at Caroline. "Not much. I thought you might still be awake, so I brought you the supplements I bought this morning."Caroline examined the supplements and wondered, "Why did you buy these? I already have everything I need."Scott explained, "These supplements are of very high quality. You haven't been looking well lately, and I wanted to make sure you get all the essential nutrients you need."Caroline felt grateful but also concerned. "I'm sorry you had to spend your money on this. Please don't buy them for me anymore.""No need for pleasantries between us," he said gently.Caroline looked at him, feeling guilty in her heart.Meanwhile, Evan observed them, his expression turning serious. 'They share a deeper connection after the five years they spent together!'Evan disliked the pent-up anger he was feeling. He wrapped his arm around Caroline's shoulder, a hint of hostility in his expression
Scott said, "I'm afraid that your relationship with Caroline will only drift further apart if you do that, Mr. Jordan."Evan said, "It's easy for me to eliminate you without drawing any attention! Caroline won't even notice that!"Scott chuckled. "Give it a shot if you'd rather not be with Carol, Mr. Jordan."Evan's eyes turned cold. "Caroline seems more important to you than your job, huh?""Yes," Scott replied confidently.Evan abruptly stood up, grabbing Scott by the collar. His rage-filled eyes bore into Scott's. "Don't blame me for kicking you out of Angelbay if you make any inappropriate moves toward Caroline!"Despite Evan's anger, Scott remained calm."Follow Carol at all times so I won't have a chance to take advantage of her, Mr. Jordan," Scott said with a smile.Evan couldn't restrain himself from raising his fist.At that moment, he heard a crashing sound behind him, turned to the kitchen abruptly, chest tightening with anxiety, and let go of Scott to walk over.C
Caroline couldn't resist kicking Kenny under the table. 'Why are you so clueless about avoiding sensitive topics? Isn't it obvious that Evan is furious?' she complained inwardly.Kenny looked puzzled. "Why are you kicking me?"Caroline stole a glance at Evan, who had a serious expression."Nothing, just stretching my legs," Caroline explained."Ah."After supper, Scott left, and Kenny headed back to his room, content.Caroline and Evan returned to the room.Evan lay on the bed, ignoring Caroline.Caroline asked, "You seem upset. Is it because of Scott's gift?""No!" Evan answered with closed eyes.Caroline muttered, "I've already told him not to get me gifts from now on."Evan refused to speak.Caroline continued patiently. "Don't mind it. I'll remind Scott again next time."After Caroline finished, Evan said, "Are you going to meet him alone again?""That's not what I mean. I'll just give him a call. Scott has helped me a lot, so I can't be too cold to him," Caroline sai
Evan grabbed the liquor from the shelf, poured a glass, and downed it.Alex got a bottle of wine, poured it into a glass, and took a sip.Evan shot him a disapproving look. "Why are you out if you don't want to drink?""Why vent your anger on me? Paige loves her alcohol. It won't be good if she smells it on me!" Alex retorted.Evan took the bottle, sat on the sofa, and downed drinks one after another.Alex sighed and approached Evan. "What's going on with you? You don't tell me when I ask.""Scott asked me what two single, grown people would do!" Evan exuded a dangerous vibe."Scott? Referring to him and Caroline?" Alex was shocked."Or else?" Evan asked.Alex sat down quickly. "Scott doesn't seem like the kind of person who would say such things. Why would he ask you that out of nowhere? This is clearly meant for you to imagine on your own!"Evan shared the earlier incident with Alex.Alex said, "Ah, no wonder he said that. You provoked him first.""How is it my fault? He
The next day, Casey and Draco had breakfast together at Jordan Residence.After breakfast, Draco took a sip of his coffee and said, "Casey, you don't have to go to the company from today onward."Casey frowned. "Why, Father?"Casey had spent a considerable amount of money replacing materials in the past two days. He aimed to strike a blow to Evan when the amusement park's construction was completed.'Trying to get me to step down now? That's impossible! I won't be satisfied until I see Evan suffer!' Casey thought.To protect Casey, Draco had to make up a lie. "The upper management has diverse opinions on the loss you caused to the company."Casey was incredulous. "You won't let me go because of this, right? Father, I'm going to make up for these deficits when the amusement park is completed!" Draco was infuriated. "I'm telling you that you don't have to go anymore! How many times must I repeat myself?"The gentle expression on Casey's face vanished. "Did Evan come and see you?
Evan kept hitting Casey even after he fell. He seemed determined to beat Casey to death.The secretaries turned pale with fear, and the head secretary immediately called Reuben.Casey continued to laugh frantically and shout as if he had gone berserk."Beat me to death if you have the balls, Evan! You bastard! You and your mother are equally despicable!"Reuben rushed into the room as Casey's face was badly battered.He stopped Evan hastily, saying, "Please stop, sir!"With aggressive eyes, Evan shouted coldly, "Go away!"Reuben tightly hugged Evan's waist, refusing to let go. "Please calm down, sir! He's provoking you, so don't lose your composure. Beating him to death won't be beneficial for you!"Evan paused, and the anger in his eyes turned to pain at Reuben's advice. He gnashed his teeth, glaring at the severely beaten Casey."Get security to throw him out of MK!" Evan suppressed his anger with great effort.Reuben said, "Leave it to me, sir. Please calm down!"After lo
Draco took a seat, warning, "Don't even think about taking 30% of the shares!"Evan replied firmly, "Since it's non-negotiable, let's end this conversation."Draco slammed the desk in frustration and retorted, "What do you want then? Don't assume I can't find someone else to do your job!"Evan sneered and shot back, "I'm afraid MK will hit rock bottom long before you think about training a replacement for me."Draco questioned, "Do you doubt my ability to continue managing the company?"Leaning back, Evan challenged him, "After a decade away, how well do you know the company, industry needs, and the research and development of new products? How much can you catch up on?"Draco was rendered speechless.Evan continued. "And Casey's reputation will impact the company. How long do you think it can survive after the recent mess?"Draco felt the urgency to keep Evan at MK and clenched his fists, fearing the consequences.If he let Evan go, the latter could easily take over MK within
