"So, you think I have a bad insight since I'm Paige's boss," Evan remarked gloomily. "What does it have to do with you?" Alex shook his head. "No, I had a bad insight."Evan continued. "As a boss, I failed to see through Paige's character and made her the head of the design department."Stunned, Alex retorted, "You aren't very perceptive. How could you tell everything?"Quietly, Evan gave Alex a different look.After a slight trance, Alex said, "Wait a minute. You're trying to tell me something. Paige just used this excuse to lie to me, but she has a secret reason, right?"Evan said, "Why didn't Caroline tell me about the kids' true identities until now?""Because she's afraid you'll snatch away her kids since you're the father," Alex answered."So, you should give it some thought regarding Paige." Evan stood up. "You don't have to drink now.""Wait!" Alex stopped Evan."Why do you think Paige would abort the child?" Alex asked."Who should I ask then?" Evan replied."Caro
"I've made up my mind," Paige declared. "You saw how Alex behaved today. I don't want him to suffer another blow, and once is enough. Just let him give up.""Do you think Alex won't learn about your situation for the rest of his life?" Caroline persisted. "He'll find out sooner or later.""It doesn't matter even if he does because I'm going abroad for treatment."Stunned, Caroline asked, "You're going abroad? But Evan's hospital is as good as the ones abroad.""I don't want to stay here and dwell on my lost child since I've aborted here. Stop trying to persuade me, Carol." Misery crept into Paige's voice.Helplessly, Caroline stopped trying because she knew how memories could evoke sadness. "I'll stop since you've made up your mind. When are you leaving?""I will tell my parents about this. It's best if I leave as soon as possible," Paige replied.-Caroline returned to Bayview Villa after driving Paige home.Upon reaching home, she noticed Alex's car as well.After staring a
Suddenly, Evan bent over and carried Caroline from the sofa.Keeping his head hung, Evan stared at Caroline icily and demanded, "I'll make you doze off in exhaustion if you say no."His words made Caroline think of certain scenes.She struggled shyly. "Can you please don't do that kind of thing in broad daylight?"Evan carried her upstairs. "Your room is as dark as night, given the blackout curtains."But Caroline kept on resisting him. "I'm not in the mood to do anything else because of Paige's affairs now.""You can tell me, and I'll help you guys to resolve it," Evan insisted.Hence, Caroline stopped resisting and firmly leaned against Evan's shoulders.Of course, she knew that, but she couldn't break her word since she had promised Paige.After walking into the bedroom, Evan put Caroline on the sofa. Caroline took off her coat and picked up her bathrobe before heading toward the bathroom.When she reached the door, she turned to give Evan a confused look. "It's Thursday
After that, Evan put his hands around her, locking her in his arms.His black eyes were smiley. "It's not good to lie." Caroline's heartbeat quickened because of her anxiety as she locked eyes with him. "I'm not lying." "Who was beside herself, waiting for me for a few days?" Evan slowly got closer to her and whispered hoarsely in her ear. "Don't tell me it wasn't you."The hot breath on Caroline's earlobe electrified her. Even the tip of her ear was red and hot.Panicked, Caroline tried to push him away. "Who told you that?" But she regretted it the moment she raised that question because she had indirectly admitted to it. Pursing his lips, Evan hugged Caroline's waist with one hand, pinched her chin with the other, and kissed her with his head low.The lingering hotness in the bathroom and Evan's skillful kissing skills aroused Caroline, pulling her into the romance slowly.-After an unknown period, Caroline lay on Evan's shoulders in exhaustion. Evan couldn't bear t
Mr. Dotson said, "Just get straight to the point and stop swaggering here. Do you think MK will thrive without us?"Evan retorted, "Would you guys easily get such considerable profits worth tens of millions every year without me? How could you compare the past MK to the current MK?"Mr. York chimed in. "It's meaningless arguing this way. Just tell us why you threatened us to come here today!"Evan changed his posture and crossed his legs, appearing quite arrogant. "I want you to agree with my motion to drive my father out of MK during tomorrow's press conference.""That's impossible!""Dream on!""I've never seen such a wicked person like you!"Criticism poured in.Evan snorted and looked at Reuben. "Get me the share transfer contracts." Reuben immediately fished out five contracts from his briefcase and arranged them on the table one by one."What are you doing?" Mr. Burton snapped. "Do you want to force us to sign this contract?"Evan replied, "Sign this and get lost sinc
Caroline lifted the tablet Evan had left on the coffee table with a puzzled expression. Noticing the absence of a password, she easily accessed the software, revealing a notification.The software displayed an audio recording with automated text underneath featuring her name. As she scrutinized it, a frown formed on her face.Caroline's eyes widened in shock as she discovered Draco had ordered Daniella to kill her within a two-week time frame. Beads of sweat instantly covered her back.Before she could recover from her surprise, her phone rang, startling her. Turning swiftly, she grabbed her phone from the bedside table and hastily answered Neil's call."N-Neil…" Caroline's voice sounded shaky."Where are you, Carol?" Neil asked anxiously."I'm at home, why?""Evan's father is getting Daniella to murder you. Don't go anywhere during this period, Carol. I'll deal with Daniella as soon as possible," Neil said sternly."Did you receive the same audio recording as Evan?" Caroline i
It came from Hector. Daniella was unaware Evan had beaten up Casey, so she assumed that Casey was still calling her. She had no idea why Casey would call her on this number, but she picked up the call. Hector said, "You've been living so comfortably at Jordan Residence lately that you've forgotten what you're supposed to do."Daniella could not help feeling infuriated. "Stop pretending, Mr. Hendrix. Do you think I don't know who you are? Is there a point for you to mock me like this?"Daniella intended to go all out and ignored the consequences. Casey would be unable to do anything to her because Draco needed her for the time being. Hector kept quiet for a moment before he said, "Who do you think I am?""I know that you're Casey Jordan! How much longer do you intend on being so mysterious? Haven't you hurt me enough yet?" Daniella shouted. Hector chuckled. "Who told you that I'm Casey Jordan?"Daniella felt slightly uneasy from his question. "Who are you then? Are you not
At Bayview Villa.Caroline absentmindedly ate in the dining room until Kenny returned. As he entered, he stared at her and waved his hand before her eyes."G? What are you daydreaming about?" Kenny inquired.Caroline slowly returned to reality, looking up at Kenny. "Nothing. Have you eaten?""Not yet. Where are the children?" Kenny pulled out a chair and sat down."I think they're playing upstairs," Caroline replied nonchalantly, mechanically stuffing peas into her mouth."G, something is bothering you. It seems like you won't tell me anything these days," Kenny observed and sighed.Caroline put down her fork. "I just don't want you to worry too much.""I'm your friend! I really wish I could help you with something," Kenny expressed sincerely.Caroline smiled. "I'm already very happy that you can manage the factory and company so well."Kenny clicked his tongue, about to say more, when they heard a car outside.Caroline turned to look, thinking it was Evan coming home."G,
