"Tell me everything about Deric," Caraline said.Jeremy, Jonathan, and James were shocked when they heard Caraline's words. The three brothers turned to each other, silent for a while.Caraline rolled her eyes. "I didn't invite you to see your annoying behavior. If you want me to invest my money in your company, answer my questions honestly, and don't waste my time any longer.""We understand," said Jeremy, "Where do you want us to start?""Whatever," Caraline snapped, looking away. "You can say whatever you want as long as I need to hear it. I won't cut you off."Jeremy still wore a forced smile. He didn't understand Caraline's way of thinking. Why would she do this for Deric? Was Deric really that important to her?"I'll start with him and his mother coming to our family."Caraline changed her sitting position slightly. Her hand began to press the recording button on her phone. She didn't want to miss even the slightest bit of information."Our mother died when we were in elementary

Helen passed the time by reading some magazines in the waiting room. After a bit of boredom, she chose to relax a bit. It had been almost half an hour since Deric had been examined by Doctor Tommy, but there was no sign of him coming back.Helen decided to take a walk around the hospital grounds. She could move more freely as the VVIP room was deserted. The media would find it difficult to enter this area if they did not have an access card. Once she was satisfied with the surroundings, Helen returned to sit in the waiting room.Helen turned her head when her cell phone vibrated. She'd received a message from the team she'd been assigned to find information on a special assignment Caraline had given her. Her eyebrows immediately knitted together when she saw the title of the file her subordinate had sent."List of accident patients from six years ago in all hospitals in Springtown," Helen said. Helen didn't dare open the file. She had only been asked by Caraline to collect the inform

"He's my sister," Caraline said in a flat, but piercing tone.James stroked his hair a few times, looking down deeply, staring at his shoes. He didn't dare look back at his siblings, especially not at Caraline. Jeremy and Jonathan would certainly beat him up again. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Carla was Caraline's sister.Meanwhile, hearing James' words, Caraline could only squeeze the hem of her dress tightly. Her eyes were glaring with puddles of stifled tears. The air seemed so thin that she could hardly breathe. She dared not imagine what Carla's life was like at school.Caraline leaned her back against the back of the chair gently, then turned her head to the right side. Her grip on the dress was loosening, but her emotions were getting the better of her.'She's nothing more than a loser who doesn't have a single friend at school. It's as if she was born to be bullied.'Those words hit Caraline to the bottom of the abyss. As a big sister, she had been negligent and failed

Caraline returned to the room when she felt ready. After all, the woman could not afford to waste time and opportunity. Whatever the outcome of this conversation, she had to be ready to accept the consequences.Caraline tried to find the most comfortable sitting position. She adjusted her hair a few times to give the impression that she was fine. Even so, the atmosphere of this room cornered her again. She felt uncomfortable.Come on Caraline, she thought."Tell me about Deric's accident," Caraline said under one breath. Her fingers tugged rather hard on the bottom of her dress.Jeremy and Jonathan were instantly choked up. The two of them exchanged glances for a long time, silent to confirm the question that had just been asked. Especially, James, he could only stare at his two shocked brothers. He was about to take the cake when he pulled his hand back."Accident?" Jeremy asked for confirmation.Caraline took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. Her gaze returned to the window. "Deric sa

Caraline let out a long breath as she walked out of the room. "Keep an eye on those three men while they are in my house.""Yes, Miss," replied the three men in black uniforms in unison.Caraline stepped into the room. When she entered the room, she found Grace and some maids organizing boxes. The room seemed to be full of Deric's stuffs. "Get out of this room right now.""Yes," the maids replied in unison.Caraline quickly locked the door, sitting down on the sofa that faced not far from the pile of Deric's stuffs. The woman let out a long breath, massaging her forehead slowly. Deric's three brothers did not necessarily answer her curiosity. There were still hidden secrets about Deric.Caraline got up from the sofa and started checking the boxes. If she counted correctly, there were five large and three medium-sized boxes. "These things must be as disgusting as their owner."Caraline grabbed a pair of scissors from the drawer, squatted down next to the box, and began to open each one

Jeremy immediately walked towards the stairs with hurried steps. Seeing his brother who seemed to be chased by a creepy ghost, Jonathan immediately followed behind."What's wrong?" asked Jonathan as they walked parallel on the stairs, "is something bothering you?""Follow me and don't talk too much," Jeremy replied without turning around.Jonathan nodded briefly, turning to James who was looking at the house with a look of admiration. To be honest, he was still annoyed with his brother's behavior. James seemed indifferent to the trouble he had just caused."Thank you," Jeremy said as a maid handed him a glass of water.Jonathan immediately realized that he was already downstairs. He quickly grabbed a drink, following Jeremy who had already walked towards the exit.Meanwhile, James was still focused on observing his surroundings. His smile grew as an idea came to him. "If I throw a party in this house, girls will go crazy for me."James helped himself to a drink, looked at it until hal

Jeremy sat on a chair not far from where he stood. One hand massaged his forehead, while his gaze was fixed on the surface of the lake. He preferred to stay out of the way rather than be drawn into Jonathan and James' pointless chatter.Jeremy was lost in reverie. If the allegations about Caraline being the perpetrator of Deric's collision were true, then the puzzle that was occupying his mind would at least find some light. He and his brothers didn't care about Deric's accident so they didn't pay much attention to the hit-and-run perpetrator. No matter how Deric looked now, it wouldn't change their assessment of him.However, after Caraline asked about the accident, Jeremy became curious about the truth behind the tragedy.Was Caraline deliberately looking for Deric all this time to take responsibility for her mistakes? But why would she marry a disabled Deric if she wanted to pay for her mistakes? I think it's too much, especially since the media might reveal it to the public one da

"What on earth are you doing, James?" asked Jeremy when he saw his youngest brother join him on the front lawn."You're testing my patience today," chimed in Jonathan with an annoyed look, "are you finding it hard to leave this mansion?"James ignored his brothers' remarks. He chose to get into the vehicle first, then rested his back against the back of the seat. He ran his fingers through his hair a few times, averting his eyes as Jeremy and Jonathan watched his actions with flat faces.The car began to pull away from the gate of the house. Caraline's residence slowly began to shrink. James looked at the side of the road, tapping a finger on the window. Jeremy observed James' behavior from the windshield, while Jonathan just shook his head slowly."Looks like that woman doesn't have a rare car made by Otopixel," James said with a limp face.Jeremy and Jonathan turned their heads. The car drove slower."You're still talking about that." Jonathan clucked, giving James an annoyed look.
