Scott's gaze turned instantly cold upon hearing that. "Don't test my limits, Carol."Caroline couldn't help but laugh. "Are you telling me you have limits? You kill indiscriminately! How dare you claim that you have limits! You shouldn't even be alive in this world! You deserve to die!"Darkness filled Scott's gaze. "Are you sure you want to indulge in momentary pleasure without considering the children's situation?"Caroline's anger faded as she remembered that her children were still with Scott.Scott's malicious presence diminished after Caroline calmed down."I'm here for two things today. Firstly, where is Lia?" Scott asked.Caroline clutched the blanket tightly. She was about to speak when Scott interjected, "Carol, don't try to deceive me. After all, you should know what I'm capable of."Caroline bit her lower lip and truthfully answered, "Lia is off for her studies. You can't hinder my children's progress because of me.""Alright, I can agree not to interfere with Lia's
However, Caroline could not show it because Scott would see through her.Caroline replied nonchalantly, "As you wish.""Hmm. I'll come and pick you up in three days," Scott declared, standing up.After leaving the room, Elvira returned to him once she had finished disposing of the corpse.She glanced at the room and then at Scott. "Mr. Hendrix, the woman…"Elvira halted herself midway as Scott frowned at her remark."What are you trying to say?" Scott asked.Bracing herself, Elvira said, "Mr. Hendrix, this woman knows too much about you. Why not get rid of her?"Scott contemplated the suggestion and lowered his gaze.Ever since witnessing Caroline being shot, he began to show signs of emotional turmoil. He refused to acknowledge that he could not bear to part with Caroline. After all, he had no feelings for her—he just wanted to use her.If that were the case, why did he feel anxious? Keeping Caroline alive was his attempt to uncover the cause of his anxiety.Scott said cold
"You're oversimplifying the situation," Alex exclaimed, glaring at Lucas. "If he has no regard for Evan, he won't take us seriously either."Lucas expressed his dejection, "What do you think we should do then? It has been a few days, yet we haven't made any breakthroughs."Alex pondered for a moment. "I think we should find Caroline first.""Find Caroline? Will we be able to meet her?" Lucas was confused."We can figure out a way to do so! Focusing solelay on saving her is futile. The key is to see what Caroline is planning to do next."Lucas was stunned for a moment. "So, you're saying that Caroline will likely stay close to Scott?""It's possible. Wouldn't you want to seek revenge if you were in Caroline's place?" Alex said.Lucas was rendered speechless. "That goes without saying." Alex stared at him. "So, our next step is to work together with Caroline instead of focusing on what we should do. If Caroline stays close to Scott, she will be able to acquire evidence of Scott'
Yuliana replied, "Alright."Lucas asked, "What have you been up to lately, Yuliana?"After a brief moment of contemplation, Yuliana said, "I still want to track Scott. After all, he still hasn't noticed me.""Sure, just reach out to Alex and me if you need any help," Lucas offered.Yuliana nodded and exchanged numbers with Lucas before she departed.-On the same day, in the afternoon, Yuliana handed the phone to Caroline.Upon receiving the phone, Caroline looked at Yuliana in shock.Yuliana explained, "Alex and Lucas want to connect with you. Figure out a way to hide the phone yourself."Caroline nodded. "Understood. I would like to ask you something, Yuliana."Yuliana checked her watch. "Go ahead. I can't stay too long.""Kenny's body…" Caroline's gaze reflected pain.Yuliana sighed. "My father has taken care of his funeral affairs. Don't worry."Caroline nodded. "Please thank Uncle Tom for taking the trouble to do that.""It's not troublesome as long as you're not sui
Caroline: [Ty, this is Mommy.]During mealtime, Tyler felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He quickly retrieved it and opened a text message from an unknown number. The content of the message startled him, causing him to drop his fork with a clang.The sound caught Axel's attention, who then asked, "What's going on, Ty?"Tyler glanced at the nearby bodyguard and shook his head as he replied, "Nothing, I just saw the news."Puzzled by Tyler's strong reaction, Axel observed as Tyler responded to Caroline's text with shaky hands. Tyler: [Are you alright, Mommy?]Relieved by Tyler's reply, Caroline texted back.Caroline: [I'm alright, Ty. How is everyone?]Tyler: [We're living in Xander Residence, and they've returned our phones. However, I believe our previous phones were bugged, so I changed to a new one.]Caroline: [It's good to be cautious. Did they hurt you?]Tyler: [No, but we're closely monitored by many bodyguards. Mommy, don't kill yourself…]Caroline's heart sank, re
Scott frowned when he saw the stack of documents before him. Scott thought, 'It has only been two days, and more than a dozen termination contracts have been received. Evan has gathered a group of devoted partners who look up to him indeed!'Scott said, "There's no need to run such documents by me in the future. Let them proceed directly with the compensation!""They won't pay the compensation. In fact, they claimed to want compensation from you. After all, they agreed to partner with Mr. Jordan, not you. They are not obliged to make any compensation for breaching the contract if the change of Party A is made without their consent."Scott's gaze turned cold as he stared at the documents. He grabbed a folder and read it. He saw the termination contract from the Prices right away and sniggered softly.Scott thought, 'It seems these people still don't believe I'm qualified for this position! It's not an easy feat to strengthen my position in Angelbay. If this continues, MK will
Caroline's pale lips trembled. "When was it?"Bryce said, "It's been a while. Mr. Jordan wanted us to complete it as soon as possible, so my workers worked day and night under my command."Caroline suddenly recalled her complaint to Evan, expressing her frustration with the neighbor's constant renovations.She had also pointed out the peculiar habits of the villa's owner, urging the workers to work relentlessly.Caroline thought, 'How was Evan's expression at the time? Why haven't I observed it properly?'The wind blew on Caroline's face and her tear-filled eyes.She clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and said shakily, "Alright, I'll pay you. Please hand me the keys."Bryce nodded repeatedly. "Thank you so much, Ms. Shenton.""Don't mention it."Caroline looked at Scott. "Please return my phone to me."Scott glanced at the bodyguard, and the latter returned the phone to Caroline right away. Caroline paid the final renovation fees and took the keys from Bryce.
Caroline's gaze landed on Elvira's left hand, which was wrapped in a blood-stained bandage. She watched for a few seconds before she was about to head upstairs. All of a sudden, Scott spoke. "Carol."Caroline stopped walking and waited for Scott to continue his speech. "I will post Elvira at the villa and hire a caregiver to take care of your daily needs," he stated.Caroline sneered and turned to look at him. "How long are you planning to keep me captive?""I never intended to keep you captive. If you want to go out, get Elvira to come with you," Scott said. Caroline scoffed. "To keep watch on me, isn't it? I'm no different from a prisoner to you." Scott said, "Not really. I'm only concerned for your safety.""You don't have the right to say that as someone who wants me dead!"Caroline turned and walked upstairs upon saying that. As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a familiar scent—it was Evan's unique cedar scent.Caroline walked into the dressing room, where
