Caroline looked up and spotted Bradley stumbling into the ward. His face was flushed from alcohol.Upon seeing Caroline, Bradley immediately wore a wide smile. "Carol, there you are!"However, Katie glared at him fiercely and spoke with anger, "What are you doing here? Leave!"Caroline quickly stood up and tried to calm her mother. "Mom, please calm down. You shouldn't get upset after your surgery."Bradley pouted. "I'll leave if you give me some money."Caroline looked at her father in disbelief. "Dad! Mom is still recovering. She can't give you any money!"He glared at Caroline. "Your mom used your money to rest comfortably in the hospital. But what about me? We don't even have a home now. I've been sleeping on the streets. Do you even understand what situation I'm in right now?"Realizing he had misspoken, he abruptly fell silent. However, both Caroline and Katie had heard his words.Pale-faced, Katie pointed at Bradley. "What did you say? What happened to our house? What di
Under Evan's watchful gaze, Caroline struggled with conflicting emotions. She couldn't bring herself to ask Evan for an advance payment using her mother and child as a pretext. She felt responsible for her mother's care and she wanted to keep the child, so it didn't seem right to ask for money from someone else.Furthermore, she couldn't guarantee that Evan wouldn't become suspicious.As a result, she made a feeble excuse. "I suddenly forgot what I wanted to say. I'll let you know when I remember." Then, she hurriedly left the study.Sensing something was not right with Caroline, Evan furrowed his brow and decided to call Reuben.*The following day, when Caroline woke up, she received a notification on her phone informing her that she had received 280,000 dollars. Additionally, she received a message from Reuben that said [Ms. Shenton, Mr. Jordan has given you a house. The address is...]Stunned, she was at a loss for words. She hadn't mentioned anything about it, yet Evan had
Paige turned around, glaring at Daniella. "What did you say? You better watch your tongue!"Daniella responded to Paige's glare with a disdainful glance, not taking her seriously at all. She then walked over to Caroline while smiling sweetly and said, "Evan couldn't stand that I was living in a shabby place before this, so he bought me a house. I'm certain that he and I will become a couple soon."Caroline chuckled and retorted, "So, you two aren't a couple yet, huh?""Pfft..." Daniella's smile froze as Paige burst into laughter."We'll become a couple soon enough. In any case, I'm still getting much better treatment than you." Daniella mocked Caroline."Hmm, he bought me a house too," Caroline replied indifferently before turning away and opening the door.Confusion replaced the smile on Daniella's face. Meanwhile, Paige couldn't contain her laughter. She patted Daniella's shoulders and clicking her tongue. "Stop making a fool of yourself. You look like a clown."As Daniella
Caroline knocked expressionly on the glass, instantly capturing the attention of all the secretaries in the office. As they turned around and saw Caroline, they fell dead silent.With a smile on her face, Caroline entered the office and addressed them, "Why did the conversation suddenly stop when I arrived? Shouldn't I be included since I'm the one being talked about?"The secretaries exchanged nervous glances.Caroline held the documents in her hand as she approached the front table and shot them an icy gaze. "Perhaps you should dedicate your time to work rather than indulge in gossip about others."Placing the documents on the table, she continued, "Ms. Walker, as the head of the secretaries, you should set a better example instead of indulging in idle chat. Before you leave, kindly collect this month's salary from the finance department."Jane Walker widened her eyes and stood up abruptly. "Are you planning to fire me over this?"Caroline chuckled and retorted, "Is this your o
At Florencia Hospital.After completing the necessary hospitalization formalities, both Caroline and Paige returned to the ward.Daniella had been administered a sedative and was laying on the bed, her face pale.Meanwhile, a hint of guilt appeared on Evan's somber face as he looked at Daniella with concern.Caroline suppressed the bitterness in her heart and approached the medical case calmly. "Mr. Jordan, it's taken care of."However, Evan didn't accept it. "Ask Reuben if he has found Ella's medical records."Nodding, Caroline turned around and left the ward with Paige.Upon contacting Reuben, she honestly conveyed Evan's request.There was a brief silence on the phone before Reuben spoke. "She has suffered from severe psychological trauma since childhood, which led to regular sessions with a therapist and the use of psychotropic medication. I met with the former director to inquire, but the details were unclear. I'm now reaching out to the deputy director for more informatio
Daniella was left stunned. It didn't take long for her to realize who else, apart from Caroline, could elicit such a hurried and furious reaction from Evan.Why did Evan hold Caroline in such high regard? She was just a shameless mistress.With a gloomy expression, Daniella decided since Caroline wouldn't let her man go, she could not be blamed for taking matters into her own hands and acting ruthlessly..*After sharing her location with Evan, Caroline composedly placed her phone in her pocket. Jumping out of the car would be too dangerous. She needed to think rationally.Caroline closed her eyes and leaned against the car door, contemplating how to confront the situation ahead.Ten minutes later, the car came to a halt.She lifted her gaze and saw a dilapidated warehouse in front of her."Step out of the car!"Abruptly, the car door swung open, and a man seized her arm.Feigning fear, Caroline looked at the unfamiliar man before her. "Who are you? Why have you brought me he
He had finally arrived. A chilling intensity filled his eyes as he looked at Caroline, who was crouched on the floor.He directed a deadly glare at Mark. "Well, Mark, impressive, aren't you? How dare you kidnap my woman?"Mark quickly stood up, seeking refuge behind his secretaries, visibly trembling. "Uncle... Uncle Evan!"Evan approached him with a few swift steps, narrowing his eyes as he questioned, "So, you finally acknowledge that I'm your uncle, huh?"Mark's fear was palpable as he swallowed nervously.In a sudden realization, Mark glanced at Caroline. "Uncle Evan, I did arrange for someone to bring her here, but it was for your sake! You have no idea what I discovered earlier. She has ulterior motives against you. She despises you to the extent that she wants to poison you. You must trust me!"Evan glanced at Caroline, who stood composedly at the side, and smirked. "Well, since you've been so considerate, I suppose I should show you some appreciation."Turning to his b
Scott typed. [Your father came over last night and had a big fight with your mother. He even forced the hospital to give him your mother's medical fees.]Caroline furrowed her brows in concern. [Is my mother alright?]Scott explained. [I'm here with her. Don't worry. I gave him 150 dollars, and he backed down.]Caroline was taken aback. She couldn't fathom how her dad could have the audacity to take money from her mother's doctor.Although she disapproved of Scott's independent actions, she couldn't argue with the fact that he did it for her mother's sake.However, since it had happened once, she feared it might happen again.Pondering over it, she made up her mind to talk to him about it.After transferring 150 dollars to his account, she typed. [Dr. Wilson, thank you for helping my mother in this situation. But please don't give my father any money again. If he approaches you, tell him to come to me. Thank you.]Scott didn't decline because he knew Caroline disliked being ind
