Caroline gazed in astonishment at Alex's bandaged hand and turned to Lucas. "What happened to Alex?"Lucas sighed heavily. "He crushed a wine glass in his hand but still managed to download the software into Azure's phone."Caroline stood up abruptly. "Is it done for sure?""Alex said so," replied Lucas.Kenny was bewildered. "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand anything?""It's about Paige." Caroline set down her fork and headed upstairs.Liora had nearly fallen asleep when Alex entered the room, startling her awake.With a frown, Evan glared at Alex and asked, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"Alex glanced guiltily at Liora and Evan. "I'm sorry, Lia and Evan, but I have something important to do now!"Tyler and Axel opened their eyes, sitting upright. Tyler rubbed his eyes and asked, "Was the download successful?"Alex nodded. "Yes. When will you be able to export the data?""There's too much data to export. Please provide an accurate time frame, Uncl
Caroline turned to Evan, her eyes burning with rage.Meanwhile, Evan swiftly dialed Julian's number.Julian answered promptly, and Evan commanded sinisterly, "Tell Blake to bring Daniella to Bayview Villa.""Yes, sir!" Julian responded.Turning to Caroline, Evan declared, "I leave her to your discretion. After all, she is of no use to us now." Caroline gnashed her teeth in hatred.Her suspicion about Daniella being the source of evil was correct.Unable to contain her emotions, she confronted Evan, "Why won't you report her to the police instead of bringing her here?""Killing her is far from enough to atone for the crimes she committed.""You don't have to do it. I'm going to deal with this treacherous wench myself!" Alex interjected through clenched teeth, his eyes bloodshot, unable to suppress his ruthlessness.-Daniella was pacing anxiously in her room at Jordan Residence, wondering, 'Now that Evan's father has been detained, when will I regain my freedom?'Suddenly,
"Fuck! Who could be behind this!" Alex snarled as he punched the sofa arm.Caroline pondered the suspicious individuals who had visited the villa. Meanwhile, Kenny found himself engaged in the same contemplation. Looking at Caroline with astonishment, Kenny exclaimed, "G, apart from a few of us, there's your brother, Eira, and also Scott…"A chill ran down Caroline's spine.Caroline thought, 'It can't be Neil, and Eira's connection to Neil makes the possibility low. The only plausible suspect is Scott…'The crowd silently acknowledged the answer in their hearts.Caroline struggled to compose herself. "How... could it possibly be Scott? He's not the type of person who would do that. He doesn't have a motive, right? We lack evidence…"Evan retorted, "What's the point of defending him now?"Caroline, still in shock, couldn't find her voice.Kenny sighed. "G, you can find out by calling Scott now, right? If it's Scott, he's definitely not at the hospital."Caroline nodded, tremb
A phone not belonging to Daniella rang. She picked it up, responding with a vigilant yet anxious tone. "Hello?"The caller's voice revealed it was Hector.Daniella clutched the phone tightly and asked, "Mr. Hendrix? Why did you render me unconscious and bring me here with Casey? Why are we in the same room?"Hector replied coldly, "You ask too many questions!"Daniella quickly apologized, "I'm sorry for speaking out of turn, Mr. Hendrix."She feared opposing him, knowing he had the power to infiltrate Jordan Residence unnoticed.Hector revealed, "They found out about your collusion with Azure. Stay here if you want to live. Help me execute my final plan once I'm prepared."Daniella was puzzled. 'Final plan? Has he executed many plans already?'Looking at the unconscious Casey, she asked, "What about Casey, Mr. Hendrix?""I have other arrangements for him. Three meals a day will be delivered to you."Hector hung up abruptly, leaving Daniella with unanswered questions.Daniell
Caroline pondered, 'I'll make sure Azure's reputation is ruined when I act! The crucial task now is to unveil Azure and Daniella's misdeeds to the public while safeguarding Paige's privacy.'Suddenly, Pete came to her mind, and she promptly called him.After a short while, Pete picked up. "Hello, Ms. Shenton."Anxiously, Caroline asked, "Were you at Jordan Residence last night?"Pete replied, "Yes, I was there all night, and I'm still here. I've been eating and sleeping in the car for the past two days."Caroline pressed further, "Did you notice any suspicious cars last night?""Suspicious cars? I think I saw one driving to the backyard last night. It left after less than 10 minutes. I thought it was someone else, but after checking the vehicle license plate, I found that the car belongs to the Jordans."Caroline frowned. "How do you know it's the Jordans' car?"Pete explained, "I've gathered information on all the vehicles owned by the Jordans during this period.""Understood
Caroline asked, "How will we know if it's effective without giving it a try?"Evan sneered. "You're underestimating the complexity of the Millers. You're going to get yourself in trouble with the article."Caroline asserted, "It's the only way to protect Paige while publicly condemning them!"Evan retorted, "You can't have it all. Be clear about what you truly want—safeguarding Paige or seeking revenge."Caroline fell silent, thinking, 'Is there no better alternative?'Evan set down the bathrobe and approached Caroline. "The key to controlling the Millers is to involve the police. They consider the overall situation."Caroline felt powerless. "What if they decide to protect Azure?"Evan replied, "The Prices are one of the three major families in Angelbay. Alex won't let them protect anyone."Caroline kept her head lowered.Seeing her dejection, Evan gently squeezed her shoulder to reassure her. "Caroline, we'll handle this matter. I don't want you involved because the Millers
Azure cracked a smile upon seeing Alex. "What brings you here, Alex?"Alex now felt disgusted at the sight of Azure.Failing to suppress his anger, he clutched Azure by her throat.Azure's eyes widened in shock, and she managed to say with difficulty, "Alex…what's… going on?"Alex forcefully pinned Azure against the entrance wall and tightened his grip constantly. "Azure, what have Paige and I done to offend you so much that you seek revenge on us like this? You have ruined Paige's life, and we lost our child because of that. Why do you have to be so malicious?"Alex's voice drew the attention of the Millers' matriarch, Inez Miller.Anxiety marked her well-maintained face.Her face turned ghastly pale instantly when she saw Azure. "Price, what are you doing?! Let go of Azzie now!"Alex glared at Inez. "Let go of her? Has she let me, my wife, or my unborn child off the hook?"Stunned, Inez asked, "What are you talking about, Price?"Alex replied, "If I haven't explained clearl
Azure couldn't stop crying. "Grandma, it's my fault. You can disown me."Heartbroken, Inez closed her eyes in pain. "What a calamity!"Trembling, Alex demanded, "Admit that it was your fault. But what about my child? What about Paige? Have you ever considered that she'll have to live with that disease for the rest of her life? She must rely on pills her whole life! How dare you do that, Azure?!"Azure looked up at Alex. "I was confused, and I made a grave mistake, Alex. I'll bear all the consequences."After that, she turned to the cops and extended her hands. "Please arrest me, Officer."James looked at Azure in a daze and wondered why she admitted to her crime so quickly when others might have denied it.Although Azure's actions were abominable, James was distressed for unknown reasons.He got to his feet. "I'm sorry, Ms. Miller." After that, he handcuffed Azure.Similarly, Azure stood up and gave Inez a firm bow. "Forgive me for being narrow-minded and stupid, Grandma. I'm l
