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
"Yes, it's proven," Caroline said cautiously. "They will be punished, Paige. Are you coming back?"Paige hesitated. "Alex, he...""He went to the Millers this early morning to confront them, and Evan helped call the cops, too. Alex is suffering, Paige. In just a few days, he looks so much older. Are you sure you don't want to call him?" Caroline asked.Downcast, Paige said, "This illness can't be cured, Carol.""Don't give up, Paige. There must be ways to control it. We're all waiting for you."Paige forced a smile. "No, I won't give up, but... Did I do anything wrong? Did Azure get jealous because I was dating Alex? My child..."Sobbing, Paige continued. "My child was innocent. I can't sleep, Carol. I'll see my child the moment I close my eyes. He's a pool of blood. He blamed me in my dreams and asked why I aborted him cruelly. Why didn't I protect him well..."Upon hearing that, Caroline's eyes turned red. "Paige...""I can't go back," Paige cried. "I can't accept myself even
Therefore, Caroline invited Greta and Yuliana to Bayview Villa.-Caroline returned to Bayview Villa early in the afternoon to wait for them.However, upon entering the villa, she noticed bodyguards leaving with surveillance cameras.Stopping one of the bodyguards, she asked, "Why were the cameras taken down?""Mr. Jordan instructed us to remove them to prevent others from spying on the villa from a distance, Ms. Shenton," the bodyguard explained.Evan approached the door and noticed Caroline's puzzled expression. He then clarified, "Recent events prompted this precaution."Caroline understood he referred to Daniella's affair. "Got it. When will your team be here?"Glancing at his wristwatch, Evan replied, "They should be arriving soon."Shortly after, an MPV pulled up at the entrance.Laila emerged from the car with three assistants, each carrying two large pieces of luggage.Caroline was astonished at the sight and looked at Evan in disbelief. "Are these filled with gowns?
"Yeah, which room is she in?" Yuliana asked.Axel pointed toward Caroline's bedroom. "This one. Just go in. I'll head downstairs.""Go ahead." Yuliana walked to Caroline's room and knocked on the door."Come in," Caroline said.Yuliana pushed the door open and found Caroline taking off her coat. "My mom asked me to come and help you."Caroline readily agreed. "Sure."After that, Yuliana closed the door and walked over to Caroline to pick up the gown and take a look.While removing her clothes, Caroline remarked, "I didn't expect you to agree to come upstairs and help me."Yuliana's hand stiffened as she awkwardly said, "I'm not such a petty person.""I never thought that about you." Caroline changed the topic. "You still can't find a job?"Yuliana handed the gown to Caroline. "What's wrong? Would you like me to help you find one?""I'm sure you don't need my help, given your capability," Caroline uttered."I'm too busy to work now," Yuliana explained. "I would have long sta
