“Kenny, take the children to play in the living room,” Caroline said.

Kenny was about to nod when he saw the tiny figure behind Evan

“Who’s that?” Kenny asked.

Caroline followed Kenny’s gaze and spotted Axel standing quietly behind Evan Axel’s head was slightly

peeking out.

Caroline quickly stepped forward and said, “Axel?”

Axel obediently took a step closer, responding with a soft. “Hmm.”

Feeling a sense of compassion, Caroline gently lifted Axel. “Come along with me.

She then looked at Evan, saying. “My house isn’t big, but you’re welcome to come in.

Evan walked confidently into the villa and headed straight for Kenny. His cold, hostile eyes sent shivers

down Kenny’s spine.

Nervously, Kenny held Liora while gripping Tyler’s hand, all behind Evan

Evan sat on the sofa, scanned the surroundings, and asked, “Ts Ms. Smith here?”

Setting Axel down, Caroline replied, “Ms. Smith is at the hospital.”

Evan’s brow furrowed. “Hospital?”

“Yes.” Caroline nodded sadly. “She was badly hurt during the children’s abduction. She’s now in a

vegetative state.”

Evan’s expression tightened. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Caroline met his gaze. “What would be the use? Even Scott can’t do anything to help her. So, what

purpose would telling you serve?”

Evan pulled out his phone and sent Reuben a text. Retrieve Ms. Smith’s medical record and transfer

her to Grand East Hospital as soon as possible]

Evan stood up after putting away his phone. “I’ll leave the children to you, and I’ll be back to pick them

up tomorrow.”

He left without waiting for Caroline’s response,

Kenny looked at Caroline in puzzlement after the door was shut. “He asked a question, and then he’s

gone? Where did he go?”

Caroline looked at the departing car and muttered, “I don’t know

The next morning, Caroline sent the three children to the kindergarten.

She joined Kenny for an inspection at the factory afterward and returned to the company after

confirming everything was fine.

Anne knocked and entered her office “Ms. Shenton.”

Caroline said while removing her jacket, “Go ahead”

Anne mumbled, ‘Ms. Shenton, I didn’t manage to complete the task you assigned me the other

day. Ms. Watson and Mr. Pierce were gone when I got out of the restroom.”

Caroline walked to the office table and said, “Why are you only telling me now?”

Anne was avoidant. L. I forgot.”

Caroline looked at her coldly. “Anne, it’s important to understand your duties as a secretary.

Whenever your superior assigns you a task, you must report on it immediately, no matter how

serious it is. I’m unsure if your behavior might cause issues in the future. Therefore, please go to

the finance department to collect your three months‘ salary and then resign from your position

Anne’s eyes widened in shock, and she vigorously shook her head. “No, please. Give me another

chance, Ms. Shenton!”

Caroline responded. “I’m not being unfair, but how you handle tasks can impact the company. Since the

company is in its initial phase, I need all my team members to be extremely careful.”

With teary eyes, Anne asked, “Are you really letting me go, Ms. Shenton?”

“If you can adjust your approach positively and handle things more effectively, you can return

after showing improvement. I wish you the best.”

Anne’s head drooped in disappointment, and she murmured, I understand, Ms. Shenton. I appreciate

everything you’ve taught me during this time.”

Caroline grew uneasy watching Anne depart. She once believed Evan was too strict with his team,

but now, she understood managing was challenging.

Being too easy on her subordinates could breed laziness, yet they might hesitate to speak up due

to respect
