Caroline sat up straight. "I can't go back to sleep."Evan leaned over and planted a kiss on Caroline's forehead. "I'm going out, but I'll be back."Caroline grabbed his hand, frowning. "What's going on? Can you just tell me?"Evan's gaze dimmed. "Casey is back. Reuben and the others found him.""Where?" Caroline asked.Evan narrowed his eyes. "It's highly likely he's on his way to my mother's cemetery!""Cemetery? What is he going to do there?" Caroline was stunned.Evan stood up. "If I'm not mistaken, he wants to do something to my mother's grave. It's the only thing he can use within his capability to vent his anger now.""That's insane! Go, quick! Get your bodyguard to send you there and be careful!" Caroline scolded.Evan said, "Sure, wait for my return."Caroline nodded solemnly.Evan left the bedroom.Caroline got out of bed feeling uneasy.Around 7:30 a.m., she opened her bedroom door and met Eira, who was about to knock.Eira said joyously, "Come downstairs for b
The three children observed him in silence—it was apparent that something was off about his appearance.Caroline asked, "Why are you up so early today?""I'm going to the company to send some engagement party favors for you," Kenny replied, sitting next to Caroline.Caroline was shocked. "When did you prepare this? I haven't had the time to get something yet.""I told you that I'm a representative of the bride's family. Don't worry about a menial task like this," Kenny assured her."Whoa! Uncle Kenny is so cool," Liora remarked, looking at Kenny with glistening eyes.Kenny adjusted his bow tie proudly. "I'm always cool."Liora rolled his eyes. "Mommy, how did you befriend a narcissistic friend like him?"-Meanwhile, Evan was talking to Reuben on the phone as he headed to the cemetery.Reuben reported, "Sir, we lost Mr. Casey after following him to the cemetery!"Evan's expression was solemn. "Are you sure that he is in the cemetery?""Yes! Julian and I saw him with our own
Casey thought, 'Rather than confronting Evan in person, I might as well torment him like this!'At the thought of Evan wailing bitterly on his knees before the tombstone, his heart was racing in excitement. Casey thought, 'Evan! I wouldn't be in this situation if not for his bitch mother! I can torment her when I'm alive, but I can still disrupt her peace when she is dead!'A twisted smile gradually appeared on Casey's face. He clutched the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator when he saw Jamie's tombstone. "Jamie! Evan! Your good time is coming to an end!"Casey's laughter grew more frantic and sinister.All of a sudden, dizziness came over Casey. He blinked and found a woman with long hair in a white dress suddenly standing in front of Jamie's grave.He was so startled that he stepped on the brake. 'Jamie?!' Casey's heart was racing because he realized that the figure looked just like Jamie! 'Isn't Jamie dead? Why did she appear?'Casey rubbed his eyes
"Reuben! It's Mr. Casey!" Julian exclaimed, panic in his eyes.Stunned, Reuben asked, "What did you say?"Evan asked, "What's going on?"Reuben replied, "Sir, I think Mr. Casey might be dead..."He then recounted the earlier incident to Evan, who rushed to the scene within two minutes.Upon arrival, Evan saw Casey, who had been extracted from the car by Reuben and Julian and placed on the ground. Casey's top was stained red with blood.Evan sneered at the tragic sight. 'How foolish is he to crash himself to death?'Reuben reported with a frown, "Mr. Casey isn't breathing, sir."Julian added, "My condolences, sir."Unimpressed, Evan retorted, "Condolences? Do I look sad to you?"Realizing his mistake, Julian hastily apologized, "I'm sorry, sir. I spoke without thinking!"Evan ignored Casey and looked toward his mother's unscathed tombstone. He coldly ordered, "Get someone to take him away so he won't bother my mother's resting ground here!"Reuben complied, "Yes, sir!"Afte
Caroline answered Evan's call with a smile."Hello? Are you coming home?" she asked cheerfully."Caroline, I'm sorry that I can't attend the engagement party today," Evan apologized in a deep voice.Caroline was taken aback. "Did something happen?"Evan explained, "Our company's firewall in Muricia has been breached, and a highly confidential document has been stolen. I need to be there right away."Suppressing the intense dejection in her heart, Caroline lowered her gaze and replied, "Understood, you may go.""I'm sorry." Evan sounded guilty.Caroline forced a smile. "It's fine. I understand the urgency of company matters. We can do the engagement party another day."Evan kept quiet for a moment before saying, "Wait for my return."Although saddened, Caroline agreed, "Sure, I'll wait."After ending the call, Charis noticed Caroline's dejected expression and asked, "Are you okay, Ms. Shenton?"Caroline put down the phone. "You may stop now."Charis asked, "Huh, why?"With
Kenny glanced at Yuliana with displeasure. "You seem insensitive. Would you be in a good mood if you were in her shoes?"Yuliana stared at Kenny and asked, "Must you be so blunt in your words?"Kenny sneered. "Blunt? Am I as harsh as you are in handling things and speaking?"Yuliana declared, "I don't want to continue this argument!""I don't want to quarrel with you either, but I'm just telling you the truth. Do you realize what will happen to G when Evan leaves her like this?" Kenny said.Yuliana frowned. "If you have something to say, just say it!""Their engagement is widely publicized. If Evan doesn't clarify the reasons, how will people view G? She'll be heavily ridiculed when such a commotion is created, but the person involved isn't around," Kenny explained."You're exaggerating. Caroline can come forward and clarify the situation, right?" Yuliana suggested."Clarify? Do you want Caroline to announce that Evan's company is in crisis?" Kenny retorted."She can't talk ab
Meanwhile, Daniella sat on the bed in an unfamiliar apartment. Her hair was messy, her lips were dry, and she chewed her nails incessantly.Daniella's bloodshot eyes were fixed on a corner. Her fingers bore evidence of the self-inflicted damage.Daniella thought, 'I don't understand why Casey gets to go out today while I'm stuck in this place? It's bad enough being confined, but there's nothing to occupy me!'All I get is half a slice of bread each day for several consecutive days! What's Mr. Hendrix trying to achieve? What does he want?'Daniella pondered, breathing heavily. She put down her hands and surveyed her surroundings with intensity."Mr. Hendrix! Face me if you dare! Why keep me locked up? What have I done to deserve this treatment? Why inflict this on me?"Receiving no response, Daniella angrily grabbed a pillow and threw it to the ground."You're a hypocrite, Mr. Hendrix! You can give orders and imprison me, but you can't come forward and explain? Just tell me what
Daniella's body shook. "Caroline and you—""Shut up! All I need is your agreement!" declared the man coldly.Daniella pressed, "Mr. Hendrix! You know Evan is always around Caroline! It's like walking into a death trap for me to do this! How is it any different from being killed by you now?""Evan is traveling to Muricia. This is the best time for you to take action," Hector asserted."Mr. Hendrix, I just want to know if I'll survive this!""It depends on your performance. If you don't do it, I'm going to torture you until you wish you're dead," Hector warned calmly, sending shivers down Daniella's spine.Hector stood up and walked closer to Daniella slowly. "You should know who is the cause of your misery now. Evan would continue to be deceived by you if not for Caroline."On the other hand, Caroline's current comfortable life would be yours too. Think carefully, Daniella. Will you choose revenge or a lifetime of cowardice?"After a long while, Daniella couldn't shake off Hecto
