"Carol," Scott called out.

Caroline stopped walking and turned to look at him nonchalantly. "What are you doing here?"

Scott stood next to the car and said, "I'm sending you to the school."

Caroline's gaze turned cold instantly. 'School?'

Soon afterward, she walked to Scott right away. She did not wish to draw her employees' attention at the company's entrance.

She got into the car and asked sternly after Scott got into the car, "How do you know that I'm going to the school? Did you assign people to monitor the children at school?"

Scott started the car and said casually, "I didn't have them monitored, but the bodyguards informed me when they heard about it."

Caroline suppressed her anger. "How is that any different from monitoring? The other students will regard them differently if you do this to them!"

"You're overthinking, Carol. The bodyguards are only posted at the school entrance," Scott explained.

Caroline said, "Even if that is the case, why are you coming with me no

    "Are you really going to discard me because of Caroline?" Azure asked incredulously.Scott asked coldly, "Do you think you're some great catch?""How could you say that to me?" Azure exclaimed. Scott said, "You're nothing without your influential family as your backer."Azure could no longer stand Scott's derogatory remarks and was about to lose her temper. "Let's call off the engagement if that's the case!"Scott said, "You don't have the right to end it because I was the one who proposed it first.""Why not? I can get my family to announce your affair with Caroline and call off the engagement!" Azure retorted. "You may give it a try. Don't forget where I brought you from," Scott reminded and hung up. Azure stared blankly at her phone screen when the call ended abruptly.'Is he threatening me?' Azure controlled her breathing with great effort. 'I won't allow myself to live so degraded and subjected to the whims of others!'Hence, Azure called her grandmother, who picked u

    Meanwhile, at the school.Caroline arrived at the children's classroom, followed by two bodyguards. She wanted to check on the children first because she had 10 minutes before the parent-teacher conference at the school hall.Caroline spotted Tyler and Axel sitting attentively in the class when she arrived at a spot not far from the classroom.The coldness of her eyes faded, leaving only gentleness. The two children turned to look at the classroom's entrance in unison as if they felt something. Their eyes widened in shock gradually when they saw Caroline. "Mommy!" Tyler stood up abruptly, ignored the teacher, and rushed out of the class. Axel followed closely behind, and his expression showed an unusual urgency. Upon noticing the situation, the teacher went after them hastily but returned to the classroom when she saw Caroline. Tyler clutched Caroline's top tightly with tears streaming down his face. "I missed you so much, Mommy!"Axel stood in front of Caroline with te

    Caroline nodded and said gently, "I know. Ty is proud, much like Evan."Axel held Caroline's hand tightly. "I will take good care of him, Mommy. Take care of yourself, too. I shall go back to class now."Caroline hugged Axel and said, "Axel, I will bring all of you back to me as soon as possible."Axel said, "We believe that you won't make us wait long, Mommy!"Caroline turned and left after the children returned to the classroom. -On Monday morning.Caroline received Zeke's text message during a meeting. She held up her phone and saw a document Zeke had sent. It was an analysis report of the medicine.The report explained that the medicine was a slow-acting poison that would cause organ failure. 'If it is consumed at a normal dosage, the user will experience intense visceral pain within one week of continuous use, accompanied by other symptoms such as high fever, blood in sputum and stool. The user will die of organ failure in less than three months. Note: The medicine

    Caroline had just changed into fresh clothes when someone knocked on her door. She opened the door and found Marie standing before her with food. Noticing Caroline's pale face, she exclaimed, "Your face, Ms. Shenton…"Caroline shook her head and darted a look at Elvira's room. Marie nodded and said softly, "She's in her room."Caroline said, "Don't send me food. I don't feel like eating."Marie said, "Ms. Shenton, I've been hired to care for you. Mr. Hendrix will blame me if you don't eat properly! I'm just a servant. Please, don't make things difficult for me."Caroline said, "Put the food in the room then. I'll have some later."Marie entered the room with the food tray and placed the blood bag behind the pillow on the sofa. "Ms. Shenton, I placed the item you asked for here," reminded Marie softly. Caroline nodded. "Alright."Marie was about to leave after placing the food tray, yet Caroline grabbed her wrist and passed her a check. "This is 7,000 dollars for you. Co

    Caroline was transported to the hospital half an hour later, and Scott hastily arrived, too.In the interim, Caroline stood in line for her consultation, glancing weakly upward when Scott appeared.Anxiety was evident on Scott's face.Scott knelt on the ground and addressed her, "Carol, how did you come down with a fever?"In lethargy, Caroline closed her eyes, offering no response to Scott's question.Scott didn't continue asking and extended his hand to assess Caroline's forehead.His countenance shifted to seriousness upon detecting the intense heat.Soon afterward, he stood up and looked at Elvira. "Watch her. I'll get someone to refer her for lab tests."Elvira did not feel any guilty conscience because she knew the medicine's properties very well. "Yes, sir."Elvira leaned against the wall and looked at the ghastly pale Caroline sitting on the chair after Scott left."You're in a lot of pain, right?" Elvira asked Caroline nonchalantly. Caroline opened her eyes and l

    Scott thought, 'I have to figure out a way to get to the chairman's position before the shareholder meeting next month!'Scott stood up, dismissing the ridiculous notions. He cast a deep glance at Caroline before turning away and leaving.-Meanwhile, in Staten City.Zeke received a call from his assistant after leaving the club for a social engagement.Harper informed him, "Mr. Jung, we looked into Scott's location prior to him assuming control of MK. Following Mr. Jordan's accident, he accompanied a subordinate to meet with Mr. Jordan Sr. at prison. We've obtained the surveillance footage and will forward it to you shortly."Zeke said, "Okay, understood."Zeke brought up the surveillance footage after ending the call. It was the scene of Scott ordering Elvira to force Draco into signing a few documents when they met. Even though their actions could be seen, there was no way to see the documents' content.Zeke put away his phone and looked out the car window. 'Scott's visi

    "I don't think she will be waking up tonight. She is having a high fever. Call back tomorrow. That's all!" Elvira said as she looked at Caroline, whose eyes were tightly shut, and hung up. Zeke frowned at the sight of the disconnected call interface.'Why is Caroline having a fever when I've just sent her the medicine's properties? I think she is making herself sick on purpose. She's sacrificing her own health so she can probe for information.'Zeke felt a tinge of helplessness. Soon afterward, he booked a red-eye flight to Angelbay on his phone.-The next morning, Caroline woke up in the hospital. She found Elvira seated next to her bed, staring at her as soon as she woke up. Caroline's chest tightened with anxiety, and she propped up herself with great effort. She coughed and said, "I'm still alive. You don't have to watch me like this!"Elvira sneered. "How is it? How do you feel?"Caroline looked at her in silence. Elvira said, "Since you won't say it, I'll do it for

    Zeke heaved a sigh. "Also…don't be foolish."Caroline smirked bitterly. "Do you think I want to give myself a fever on purpose? I had no other choice. I needed to fly under the radar.""The medicine's effects are more than just a fever," Zeke reminded. Caroline said, "I've prepared a blood bag, and I'll use it when the timing is right. I need to get rid of Elvira as soon as possible!"Zeke said, "You focus on your tasks. I'll take care of things on MK's side. I'll acquire the position of chairman during the shareholder meeting next month."Caroline said, "Okay. Be careful not to be discovered either.""Don't worry."Caroline hesitated briefly after ending the call and dialed Scott's number. The ringtone played for a moment before the call was disconnected. Caroline put down her phone and waited for Scott to return the call. -At Scott's residence.Azure heard Scott's vibrating phone just as she walked into Scott's room. She saw Caroline calling and hung up right away.

    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
