"You can't leave now, either. When do you plan to let me go?" Caroline asked.Scott lowered his gaze and said, "Carol, can you fulfill my two requests?""I'll do my best," Caroline replied, hoping to leave soon.Scott smiled. "Sure."Caroline waited for him to speak, but he remained silent for a long time. Puzzled, she asked, "What are your requests?""I'll tell you one of my requests later," Scott said, standing up.Caroline watched as he approached, anxiety gripping her as she clutched the chair's armrest tightly.Scott stopped before her and leaned over, saying, "The other request is to spend one more evening with me, Carol."Caroline looked at him with widened eyes. "Don't get carried away, Scott.""I won't get carried away. I just want you to sleep here quietly and keep me company for a while," Scott explained.Before Caroline could react, Scott inserted a needle into her hand. She pulled back in pain, shocked. "What have you done, Scott?""I told you, I just want you t

Scott stared at Caroline, finding himself unable to articulate his thoughts despite having numerous things to say.After maintaining silence for an extended period, Scott loosened his grip on Caroline's hand and rose to walk outside.The moment his hand touched the door handle, he turned to gaze at Caroline again. His pure, clear eyes were filled with guilt and an unwillingness to part.Shortly afterward, he averted his gaze and decisively opened the door.Outside, Kendall couldn't help feeling stunned by Scott's abrupt exit.Scott addressed Kendall, "I know you're not my subordinate. However, you don't have to do anything to me. I'll go downstairs to meet them."Kendall promptly informed Misty while observing Scott's departing figure, "Scott is heading downstairs, Ms. Crawford."Misty received the update and glanced at Evan, who had also heard the news. Evan's expression was solemn. He had heard Scott's earlier remark to Caroline.Evan pursed his lips and exited the car. Misty

"Have you received approval from your parents?" asked Evan.Alex shrugged. "I've severed ties with them. Their approval is none of my business."Evan gazed at the boys holding Caroline's hands. "I'll make preparations after sending the children abroad."Alex asked, "When are they leaving?"Evan counted the days. "I'll take them back to Angelbay tomorrow, and they will be leaving with Keane three days later."Alex sighed. "Are you not planning on telling your daughter so she can bid farewell to her brothers?""It's fine. She's going to cry," Evan rejected the notion.Alex raised an eyebrow. "The way you care for Lia makes you seem like a doting father. Paige suggested to me last night that you have another child so we can adopt them."Evan stopped walking and looked at Alex in displeasure. "Are you dreaming?"Alex said, "Caroline and you can still have children, but I can't!"Evan scrutinized Alex. "There are medical procedures that may help reduce the risk of the child gettin

Caroline thought, 'It's Evan who is in a hurry anyway, not me. After so many years, waiting a bit longer won't hurt.'Evan sat at the table in the study on the second floor, feeling stifled. He felt agitated at Caroline's tone when she spoke to Zeke earlier.'Why is she treating someone like Zeke so differently?'He pondered this when Alex called. He picked up the call right away."I suggest you hang up if you don't have anything important to talk about!" Evan said, loosening his tie.Alex was stunned for a while. "Evan, you're already upset upon getting home?"Evan was livid and spoke in an unpleasant tone. "Talk about the matter at hand!""Alright. Lucas called me, suggesting that we gather before he leaves the country in two days," Alex said."I'm not free tonight!" Evan rejected him.Alex said, "It's just for coffee in the afternoon. Are you free for that?"'It's just an afternoon thing. I can still get back in time to meet Zeke with Caroline. I can also take the opportun

Zeke gazed at Yuliana, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you for your help that day, Ms. Xander."Zeke turned to his assistant, and the latter swiftly picked up a prepared gift and presented it to Yuliana. "Please accept this small token of appreciation, Ms. Xander."Yuliana graciously accepted it and asked, "Can I open it?""Of course," Zeke replied.Yuliana untied the silk ribbon and opened the gift box. Her eyes widened in shock upon seeing its contents. Hastily closing the box, she asked, "How did you get this? Is it personally carved by a master craftsman?""I noticed you wearing a pendant before, so I thought you might like this," Zeke explained."I love it! Carol, Mr. Jung gave me a stone pendant made by a master craftsman! I tried to get one before with Neil's help, but it didn't work out!" Yuliana exclaimed.Caroline was unfamiliar with such pendants and master craftsmen. Still, she smiled and said, "It's great that you love it."Evan's gaze shifted to Zeke, noticing a
