Suddenly, the blare of car horns filled Evan's ears. Startled, he looked up, catching Caroline's voice."Evan, calm down and listen—"Before Caroline could finish, a deafening crash echoed through the phone.Caroline's mind went blank."E-Evan…"Her face turned pale, and she called out shakily, "Evan?""Mommy! I found him! He's at Biriv Highway, but his car is stopped."Caroline dropped the phone, an ominous feeling settling in. Tears streamed down her face as she stood up in a daze.Concerned, the children called out, "Mommy…"Stumbling, she ran out of the bedroom.The children followed, repeating, "Mommy!""Don't worry, Mommy. Daddy will be fine!"Liora burst into tears, and Axel reassured, "Please stay calm, Mommy. Daddy is a skilled driver. He'll be fine!"Tyler added, "He's lucky. He'll be fine. Don't go alone, Mommy!"Caroline, seemingly oblivious to their calls, ran downstairs. As she reached the last step, her foot slipped, and she fell to the floor.The commotio
As Caroline approached, fear and reluctance gripped her tighter. Intense dizziness swirled within her, causing her stomach to churn and making her feel nauseated."How fast was that person driving, huh? The car's totaled!""I doubt they'll survive if they can't even pull them out of the car.""Look at the pool of blood on the floor. I don't think they'll make it...""Sigh, may they rest in peace…"Caroline's vision blurred, and she collapsed to the ground upon hearing that.Kenny failed to catch Caroline, and his expression gradually soured. He instructed the bodyguard, "Watch her. I'll go take a look."The bodyguard replied, "Yes, sir!"Kenny maneuvered through the crowd as Caroline sat on the ground in shock.The ringing in her ears grew louder, rendering her brain incapable of functioning further.'Evan… is dead… He left me and the children… It's my fault… I killed him!'The bodyguard said, "My condolences, Ms. Shenton."Caroline's eyes glistened.Suddenly, she got up a
Evan's voice trembled with emotion as Caroline uttered those words. 'I finally heard Caroline say these words to me in person! She has finally decided to give me all her trust! I've been waiting for this for too long…'He gently pulled Caroline into his arms, his eyes reddened with tears. "Alright, I promise you that I'll make you and the children happier than anyone else."-The next day, Evan and Caroline were awakened by a call. She grabbed her phone as Alex's name flashed on the screen. She hesitated and cleared her throat before answering.Anxious, Alex asked, "Caroline, what happened at the hospital the other day?"Caroline wondered if Alex had checked with the hospital. However, it was apparent that he had not found anything judging by his tone.Caroline sat upright and replied, "If you can't find anything, it means that Paige doesn't want you to know.""Is Evan with you? Will you pass him the phone, please?" Alex asked.Caroline hesitated briefly but handed the phone to
Evan stood in the children's room with a frown, observing his two sons, both sporting dark circles under their eyes."I don't want excuses. I just want to know why you stayed up all night," Evan said sternly.Tyler pursed his lips. "Do I have the right to refuse to answer any question?"Axel patted Tyler's shoulder. "Just say it. We have to tell sooner or later anyway."Tyler glanced at Axel. "You can say what you want. I won't."Axel nodded and was about to explain when Evan interrupted, "Don't tell me, Axel. Let Tyler tell me.""Why should I tell you? You're in no position to dictate what I do. Don't think you can meddle in my matters just because you're with Mommy!"Evan stared coldly at him. 'What a defiant boy!'Evan smirked. "You're my child. Why don't I have the authority to dictate what you do as your father?"Tyler was stunned. 'Has Mommy told him the truth? Is it because of last night's incident?'Tyler turned away. Even though he had also been worried last night, h
Evan smiled contentedly. "Please go ahead," he said.Tyler shared their recent observation with Evan."I believe your IT department has also noticed it. The other party is constantly provoking you, and I think it won't be long before they take action."Evan's expression turned solemn. "I'm aware of it, but there's no way to track them because their IP location is untraceable due to constant virtualization.""That was before. I feel they're about to be exposed soon!" Tyler pointed at the red dot on the laptop.Axel interjected, "Can I ask you something, Daddy?"Evan looked at Axel. "What is it?"Axel asked, "Does your IT department keep any data records of previous firewall bypass incidents?"Evan frowned. "I believe not. However, I can get them to prepare a report if needed."Tyler nodded. "With a detailed data report, we can identify which company the other party intends to attack."Evan said, "You don't need to intervene in this matter. You're still growing, so you're not a
Shortly after Draco left the study, a bodyguard hurried over, wearing an anxious expression.Draco was already in a bad mood, so he instantly lost his temper at the sight of the bodyguard's panic. "Why are you making a big fuss out of it?!"The bodyguard exclaimed, "This is bad, sir! There are many police officers out there!"Draco was stunned. "What?"The bodyguard repeated, "There are many police officers out there!"Draco's expression changed drastically. 'Why would the police officers be here?'Draco was about to send the bodyguard to stall for time when he found that the police officers were already heading toward him. Suppressing his puzzlement, he calmly observed the approaching officers.A detective, identified as Captain Hank Pearl from the Criminal Investigation Division, approached Draco and brandished his identification. "Hello, I'm Captain Hank Pearl. We received a tip-off about your involvement in a homicide. Please come with us!"Draco's expression turned cold. "
Caroline asked with a mischievous smile, "Huh? What news?"Neil chuckled. "Do you think I don't know you well enough, Carol? How can you be unaware of the sensational news surrounding MK?"Caroline laughed. "I saw it. Evan's father has been detained.""You don't sound very happy," Neil remarked.Caroline heaved a sigh. "I don't know how to be happy. Neil, I've never met our parents. Frankly, I don't feel strongly for them. I wanted Evan's father to face the law because it's my duty as our parents' daughter."Neil kept quiet for a moment. "I understand. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked.""Neil, you, Uncle Tom, and Aunt Greta are the ones who should be happy," Caroline said. "Speaking of which, I believe that it has been a long time since you contacted them, right?"Neil suggested, "Since Evan helped solve this case and both of you have reconciled, we should get a meal together."Caroline checked the time. "Sure thing. You can set the time.""Let's set it on Saturday then. Bring t
Caroline was engulfed in sorrow upon reading Paige's text message.Evan noticed her reaction and was just about to inquire when his phone rang. Checking it, he discovered Paige tendering her resignation, accompanied by a heartfelt note.Paige: [Mr. Jordan, thank you for your support and guidance over the years. I'm afraid that I won't be able to bear any responsibilities in my current state. Please allow me to resign, Mr. Jordan. On the other hand, Caroline is my best friend. I hope you can give her all your love and care so she won't live her life with regrets.]Evan handed the phone to Caroline, who read the message with tears in her eyes. Overwhelmed, she couldn't speak, her chest heavy with emotion."Did she tell you where she is going?" Evan offered tissues, aware that words might not make a difference now.Caroline shook her head. "I don't know, and she hasn't told me either."Evan remained silent, recognizing the impact not only on Paige but also on Alex.-At six o'cloc
