Evan halted in his tracks and turned around, his expression cold and unyielding."Caroline's safety is none of your business."Neil clenched his fists in response."I won't forgive you if she faces even the slightest harm!""Don't tell me you’re interested in my woman!" Evan sneered and scoffed. "Don't cross the line! Daniella is still carrying your child, and she's lying in the hospital ward. While I can't interfere in Daniella's affairs, if you can't protect Caroline, I'll seize the opportunity to take her away."Evan's eyes turned icy. "We'll see if you ever get that chance."With that, his gaze shifted to a spot not far away.Neil followed his gaze and saw Draco approaching with a furious expression. Neil greeted him, but his greeting was ignored.Draco walked straight to Evan and berated him, "Why didn't you tell me that your fiancée is pregnant? Have you no regard for me as your father?"Evan snapped, "I told you to stay out of my affairs.""You shouldn't have embarra
Caroline was rendered speechless. 'Master?'She observed the old man carefully, noticing a slight resemblance to Evan in his features.'Is he Evan's grandfather?'Caroline couldn't be certain. She was unfamiliar with the members of the Jordan family, despite being with Evan for three years.Feeling doubtful, she walked over to the sofa and sat down.Draco then sized her up before he uttered icily, "You're pretty but you're too insensible."Caroline furrowed her brows lightly, perplexed.'When did I offend this old man?'Remaining calm, she asked, "Sir, may I know what I did wrong to warrant such harsh words?""Harsh?" Draco scoffed. "Leaving Evan would be the right thing to do. You should know it's the right thing to do."Caroline chuckled. "I want to leave, but Evan won't let me go.""Is that the truth, or have you used some tricks to ensnare him?" Draco interrogated.Caroline replied, "Sir, Evan is the leader of MK in the Etes area. He holds immeasurable power and enjoys
Lily spoke up, "Ms. Shenton, I can go with you. Just let me know in advance so that I can make the necessary preparations."At noon, in MK headquarters.Draco arrived at the company to meet Evan. Taking a seat on the sofa, he commented, "You've found yourself a clever and articulate girl."Evan's expression suddenly turned cold, and his voice carried a hint of gloom. "Did you meet Caroline?""When do you plan on getting rid of that woman?" Draco demanded."And when are you going to marry Ella?"Evan closed the document in front of him. "I made myself very clear last night. You don't have to worry about my personal affairs.""If you don't want to handle it, I'll take care of it for you," Draco asserted with a harsh tone.An icy chill swept over Evan. "If you dare to touch Caroline, I won't hesitate to remove every post Adam and his family hold in this company!""You don't have that authority yet!" Draco struck his walking stick against the floor in anger."Do you think you can
[Thank you for your reminder.]Looking at the screen, Neil sighed. 'When is Caroline going to stop resisting contacting me?'At nine o'clock, Evan arrived home.Lily approached him and took his coat, saying, "Sir, your father came today."Evan pursed his lips. "What did they talk about?" Lily summarized their conversation for him. Dullness quickly washed over his face."She truly has no fear."With that, he made his way upstairs.Reaching the second floor, he opened the door to a bedroom.Caroline had just closed her laptop when she noticed him entering the room with a slightly gloomy expression. She glanced at him briefly before picking up her clothes and heading toward the bathroom.When she brushed past him, he suddenly grabbed her arm."Caroline!" Evan called out with a somber voice.Caroline stopped in her tracks, retrieving her hand. She slightly turned her body and asked, "What's the matter?"Evan's brows furrowed. "You shouldn't have spoken to him that way."Ca
Alex was left speechless. He responded, "By the way, you've been looking into Caroline's background lately. Do you suspect that she was the one who saved you?""Mhmm." Evan was straightforward with Alex."I don't believe in so many coincidences. On the other hand, Daniella doesn't seem familiar to me.""What did Caroline say?" Alex continued to inquire."She told me she doesn't remember what happened that year."Alex fell into deep thought. "Could there have been some kind of accident in between?"At the mention of that, Evan fell silent for a moment."Reuben discovered that Caroline was hospitalized for a period of time during her childhood."Suddenly, something clicked in Alex's mind."That could very well be the reason for her memory loss," Alex suggested. "I think it would be wise to have someone investigate her hospitalization in detail."Evan narrowed his eyes and after a while, he took out his phone and sent a text to Reuben.[Look into the reason for Caroline's hospi
Caroline nodded. "I did let out my anger after you left the other day."Paige grabbed Caroline in agitation and shook her. "Next time, let me join in if there's a chance like that!"Caroline was greatly shocked by Paige's enthusiasm. 'What's so interesting about that?'In the president's office at MK Corporation,Reuben knocked on the door before entering Evan's office with some information in hand.Approaching Evan's desk, he placed the gathered information on it. "Mr. Jordan, this is the information regarding Ms. Shenton's hospitalization."Evan took the documents and opened them, glancing through the contents.When he saw the test report, his brows furrowed deeply."Memory loss due to a high fever?"Reuben confirmed, "Yes. It's stated that Ms. Shenton was hospitalized for half a month after a severe fever, and she experienced memory loss once it subsided. Mr. Jordan, there's another page."Evan turned to the second page. As he read about the recorded incident, his expressi
Daniella suddenly clenched her fists tightly under the table. "Even though I'm on maternity leave, I still keep track of the company's inside information. I didn't tell you about the incident earlier because I didn't want to trouble you further."Evan tapped his knee agitatedly and said, "Don't make up an excuse to see Caroline next time.""Why are you defending her, Evan? Is there something I don't do well enough?" Daniella sobbed, her makeup running down her face.Changing the subject, Evan said, "You shall rest at Xander Residence during your pregnancy."Unable to control herself, Daniella questioned, "Are you not planning to let me come home, Evan? This is our baby."Evan's handsome face turned cold with her persistent inquiries. "I will call off the engagement and raise the child myself if you continue like this."He stood up and walked away, leaving Daniella in tears.'It's all Caroline's fault! She must die!' she roared inwardly.*With teary eyes, Daniella returned to
Caroline resisted with all her strength and shouted, "Let go of me!"The man slapped Caroline, causing her ear to hum, and she almost lost her footing from the impact.Seizing the opportunity, he dragged her into the car and ordered the driver coldly, "Drive."Caroline didn't dare to act rashly, knowing she couldn't fight this man. If he were to harm her, her children's lives would be at stake.She glared at the man, cautiously reaching for her phone in her pocket to call Reuben. Unfortunately, the man snatched her phone before she could make a call and tossed it out of the window, leaving her shocked and helpless.Caroline tried not to think about what would happen next as fear filled her. She gazed at the passing scenery through the window, her mind racing. She couldn't escape, or she might suffer a miscarriage.Trying to remain calm, she sought a way to handle the situation.*Two hours later, the car stopped in front of a house surrounded by a pitch-black forest.The man
Reese winced in pain. "Alright, ma'am. I guess I can read your mind? Be gentle!"Liora relaxed her grip at last. "Right, when are we going to that place you mentioned previously?""There's no rush. Your body isn't up for constant actions now. What if you get hurt by those harmful spirits again? I've already committed myself to you out of guilt. If it happens again, I won't have anything else to offer."Liora chuckled. "You make it sound like I'm desperate for your compensation.""What's wrong with that? I'm a strong, handsome man, and everyone loves me!" said Reese, displeased.Liora was astounded by his narcissism.She took a deep breath and said, "Reese.""Hmm?"Liora said, "In truth, I'm not the best choice to be your partner because of my profession. Those spirits may bother me from time to time. I'm the complete opposite of Isaac because of my negative physique.""What happens when you have a negative physique?""Spirits will be drawn to bother me and might cause me a lo
Reese and Isaac couldn't perceive the spirit, but they witnessed a dark mist dissipating before them.Isaac asked in astonishment, "What's happening, Lia?"Liora turned and answered, "The female spirit didn't want to move on, so her soul has been dissolved.""Dissolved? Do you mean her soul has been destroyed?" asked Reese. Liora nodded and looked around. "Uncle Kenny, please help me find the six spirits."Kenny took on the task and brought those fearful spirits in just a few minutes. Liora asked, "Do you want to choose the same option as her or come with me to Cross Chapel?""Cross Chapel!""We would have left long ago if we weren't trapped here by her threats!""She wouldn't let us go even in death. Aren't our lives worth anything?"After Fiery Red was gone, these spirits began to complain in anger.Liora was infuriated by their complaints. "How dare you criticize her! She may be responsible for your deaths, but what about you then? Do you think you bear no responsibil
"That's easy for you to say! Those who caused my death may have become spirits, but I still want to stop them from moving on!" Fiery Red barked. Liora frowned. "So, you're implying that those six students caused your death?""Why would I kill them otherwise?"Liora said, "It's time to let them go now that they've faced your revenge. Keeping them trapped is like trapping yourself. Why bother?""Allowing them to move on is letting them off too lightly!" Fiery Red roared. Liora said, "Your obsession is too strong and is keeping you trapped here. You're constantly hurting yourself with painful memories. If you move on properly, it will be a kind of liberation from your past.""Don't preach to me! I'll make it simple for you. It's either you die or my soul gets destroyed!" Fiery Red snapped. She was about to attack Liora just as she finished her sentence. Liora was planning to call out to Isaac when a figure suddenly showed up. Kenny rushed over and blasted away Fiery Red."Y
Tyler did not comment further upon hearing Liora's reply. In the evening, Isaac returned home from school to find Liora already there. He hurried over, brimming with excitement. "You're back, Lia! How are you feeling? Have you recovered from your injuries?"Isaac's smile stretched from ear to ear.Liora glanced at Isaac meaningfully and said, "Please do me a favor tonight, Isaac."Isaac nodded repeatedly. "Sure, are we heading to the campus?"Liora looked at Isaac in astonishment. "Are you not scared anymore?"The smile on Isaac's face faded slowly. "Spirits are scary, but I don't want to see you bullied by them again, Lia. I wanted to destroy those spirits on the same day after seeing you suffer. However, they told me to respect your decision, so I didn't do that."Liora caressed Isaac's head affectionately. "You've grown, Isaac. You know how to look out for me now."Isaac took Liora's hand and held her hand tightly in his own. "Lia, I've always cared about you. Next time you
Reese said, "Yes, you have been in love with her for 15 years and have invested a lot of time for her. However, haven't you noticed that Lia is a very rational person? As soon as she figures things out, she can move on immediately."Chester's breathing became irregular. He took two deep breaths shakily while staring at Reese. "Yes, she is more sensitive and rational than anyone else."Reese said, "I'm going to give you another analogy. If Lia chooses to be with me, what are you going to do?""Nothing. I said before that I'd respect Lia's choice no matter what. Similarly, you don't have to worry about anything else. I won't harbor any resentment because of love," Chester replied. Reese said, "In other words, you'll continue to be friends with Lia even if we end up together, is that right?"Chester frowned. "Lia and I are friends. If we can't be together, our relationship will remain the same as before. You like Lia, but you can't stop me from being friends with her, Reese."Reese
Reese raised his right arm and said, "My entire right arm was covered in blood at the time. I watched the removal of rotten flesh from your back with my own eyes. I couldn't sleep peacefully for days.""That's easy! Just get the doctor to prescribe sleeping pills to you. You will be able to sleep better, right?" Liora said while giggling. Reese crouched down next to the bed, smiling. "Lia, are you mad at me?"Liora was confused. "Mad at you? For what?"Reese scratched his nose. "If I didn't take you there, you wouldn't have gotten injured."Liora took a glance at him, astounded. "This has nothing to do with you taking me there. It's the ignorant spirits. I'll deal with them all once I recover!""You still want to go back there?" Reese exclaimed. "Yes, of course! Hades will be delighted if I can send the seven spirits to him," Liora said. Reese looked at the joyous smile on Liora's face, feeling guilty. "I was hoping that you'd scold me instead of talking to me so casually."
Reese sent away Tyler and the other, surging them to get some rest while he remained seated, his gaze fixed on Liora.She slept peacefully, her chest rising and falling slowly with each breath. Meanwhile, a nurse approached. Reese noticed her and hastily stood up. "Hello, nurse."The nurse asked, "How can I help you?"Reese said, "May I inquire when Liora can be transferred out of the ICU?"The nurse said, "I'm not too sure about that. It depends on the healing of her wounds and vital signs. She has the most extensive wound that I've ever seen on a girl. She might end up with scars…"The nurse opened the door and walked inside upon saying that. Reese was overwhelmed by a sense of guilt as he thought of the debt he owed to Liora. He knew he could never fully repay it in this lifetime.-Three days later, Liora was transferred out of the ICU.After learning about the incident, Caroline and Evan rushed to the hospital. They were heartbroken to see Liora lying prone on the be
Fear and worry flooded Reese's mind, making it impossible for him to sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky through the skylight. Reese could not help Liora in her profession, so he wondered if he could help out in her safety. He thought about it before he grabbed his phone to text Tyler. Reese: [Can you tell me where Ms. Yelena is staying?]Soon, Tyler texted Yelena's hotel and room number. Reese: [Thank you, my friend.]Tyler sneered.Tyler: [I haven't settled the score with you over Lia's predicament.]Reese: [I'll accept any punishment you deem necessary. It was my mistake, and I'll take responsibility for it.]There was no reply from Tyler afterward.Reese did not send another text, so he started the car and drove to the hotel. -Half an hour later, Reese arrived at the door of Yelena's room. He pondered briefly before knocking on the door. Soon, he heard a response. "Coming."Yelena opened the door and was surprised to find Reese. "Are you the lad fro
Liora opened her palm. The outline of the charm was vague, but she could feel its intense energy. She took a deep breath and stood up. After sensing her movement, the spirits glanced at her. Liora turned to look at them and felt the same feeling that stopped her from leaving again!Suppressing the fear, Liora braced herself to walk out of the door.The closer she got to the door, the more intense the gloomy presence became—she felt as if her soul was being crushed. "Don't be scared, Lia!""Try to walk out, Lia! They won't hurt you!""Lia! Axel, Ty, Mr. Gates, and I are waiting for you!"Αfter hearing their voices, Liora shed tears. She gnashed her teeth and continued to stride toward the door, which seemed so close yet remained out of reach. She took a deep breath, raised her hand with the charm, and attempted to walk closer. This time, the spirits all turned to look at her. They rushed forward in unison when they sensed Liora was about to touch the door. Sensing t
