Chapter 243 This Might Be a Huge Problem.

Paige grabbed Caroline’s arm when she returned to the banquet hall “Please offer your opinion, Carol.

This son of a bitch Alex didn’t even touch his drink. Look at his glass…”

Paige suddenly stopped talking and stared at Caroline’s lips in shock. “Why are your lips red and

swollen, Carol?”

Upon hearing that, Alex turned his gaze toward Evan. Observing Evan’s moist lips, he swiftly realized

that Caroline and Evan were up to no good

Caroline shot Evan a displeased look. He was grinning cunningly, clearly in high spirits. Angrily. she

remarked, “It’s likely an allergic reaction!”

“Ah, don’t drink anymore.”

Paige paid no attention to that and continued to complain about Alex

Soon, the party ended.

Caroline propped up the tipsy Paige and prepared to take her and the children home.

“I’ll give you a ride.”

Two voices came from behind her. Caroline looked over and noticed that Evan and Alex said the

same thing in unison

“Dr. Scott, you’ve had some drinks too if I’m not mistaken,” Evan said mockingly.

Scott’s usually gentle expression turned stiff. “My drinking doesn’t stop me from calling them

ride–sharing service, right?”

Evan scoffed. “Do you want them to wait for a car with you on a winter’s night?”

“Must one wait outside for a car?” Scott refuted.

“Don’t you

think it would be better to send them home sooner when Paige feels so unwell? Why

bother wasting time?”

“I can prescribe a hangover remedy to her to save you from unnecessary worries, Mr. Jordan.”

Caroline was irritated by their quarrel. She was about to speak when a car stopped next to them

suddenly

The group turned their heads and saw Neil hurrying out of the car.

Caroline was surprised, “Weren’t you on a business trip? Why are you back this quickly?”

Neil briefly looked at the people behind Caroline and asked, “Is it over?”

“Yes. I bet you haven’t eaten since you returned in such a rush, right?” Caroline asked.

Neil rubbed his belly subconsciously, chuckled, and said, “You’re right. Let’s go home if it’s over. I’ll

make you some Funfetti pancakes, and I’ll have some, too.”

Evan’s gaze dimmed.

‘When did she get so close to Neil? They sound like they have been keeping in touch over the past few

years! How does everyone know that Caroline is alive when I was the only one who didn’t? he

wondered.

Evan’s gaze landed on the two children’s faces before he looked at Neil once again. He pondered. for a

few seconds, and then his face turned solemn

Liora looked very similar to Neil.

Did Caroline have the two children with Neil?

Meanwhile, Scott said. “Since Neil is here, I shall leave first.”

Caroline said, “Sure. Be careful on the road.”

Neil’s gaze swept past Evan again after Scott left. Then, he led Caroline to the car without uttering

a word

Alex appeared to be shocked after witnessing the scene.

Kenny and Scott were already troubling enough, and now there was Neil, too?

Alex looked at the hostile Evan concerningly. “Evan, what is with Mr. Xander? If he hadn’t shown.

up, I wouldn’t have noticed that Caroline’s daughter looks just like him…”

“Shut up!” Evan uttered in rage.

Soon afterward, he got into the car and left.

Alex was dumbfounded. Oh no… This might be a huge problem!’
