Chapter 266 I Don’t Know

Caroline came downstairs at that moment. When she saw the scene, she was rendered speechless.

Tyler and Liora had put in a lot of effort and time to build the Lego castle. The roof hadn’t been added

yet, but it had somehow been ruined. They would be heartbroken when they got home.

Caroline closed her eyes in frustration and leaned against the wall. She tried to calm down amidst the

exclamations and discussions downstairs, organizing her thoughts. When she opened her eyes again,

they were clear.

As she descended the stairs and saw their eager expressions, she said icily, “There are two empty

rooms on the third floor. You can choose whichever one you want.”

Upon hearing that, the Shentons became energized.

“Let’s go check out the rooms upstairs!”

After Jade’s declaration, she pushed Caroline aside at the base of the stairs and excitedly led her

family upstairs

Freya came downstairs and kept glancing upstairs while approaching Caroline. “Ms. Shenton,

these people…”

“Just tolerate them,” Caroline said wearily, “I’ll leave them to you here. I need to hurry back to the

company.”

Freya sighed. “Alright.”

In the afternoon, Caroline asked Alex to accompany her to the clothing factory. When she arrived

and saw the size of the factory, she was taken aback.

She had mentally prepared for the MK clothing factory not to be small, but it dawned on her that this

facility was nearly as large as two universities combined. The one–million–dollar rent for half a year

suddenly seemed insignificant.

Upon entering the factory, she noticed signs hung on different floors, each dedicated to specific,

manufacturing steps. MK even had its own weaving floor.

Alex secured a patrol car, and together with Caroline, he went through every part of the factory. He

became quite exhausted as he continuously took photos for Paige during the tour.

Paige texted him back after a long while. [I finally understand why you claimed it was fortunate you

didn’t increase the price.]

Alex put his phone away and glanced at Caroline, who seemed lost in thought.

11?

“What do you think? Impressive, right?” he asked.

+15 BONUS

Caroline shifted her gaze and offered a smile. “Indeed, I struck a fantastic deal and learned a lot as

well.”

“Oh?” Alex smiled back, probing, “What did you learn?”

Caroline examined the machinery before her again. “Aren’t these machines enough for me to

learn from?”

Alex was momentarily surprised before laughing heartily. “Ms. Shenton, you have incredible potential. If

you collaborate with MK, you can dominate the global fashion industry.”

Caroline’s smile faded as she replied, “Mr. Price, TYC Fashion has its own strength. I don’t want others

to perceive my company’s growth as solely reliant on MK.”

That wasn’t her dream. She aimed to expand and strengthen her company through her own efforts.

That was the path to gaining the influence necessary to investigate her mother’s death.

Alex mentioned, “For your sake, Evan-”

“Mr. Price!” Caroline interjected, “When can I start working in the factory?”

Alex replied, “It’s up to you. But, Ms. Shenton, avoiding issues won’t lead to favorable outcomes.

Caroline fell silent.

Alex continued. “I apologize if I’m overstepping, but may I ask a somewhat personal question?”

“Go ahead.”

“You were carrying Evan’s triplets. Axel is with Evan. What happened to the other two kids?”

Grief clouded Caroline’s face. “They didn’t survive childbirth.”

– Alex questioned, “Is that… true?”

Caroline met his gaze. “Do you think I’d joke about something like that?”

Seeing Caroline’s reddened eyes, Alex regretted his words. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know…”
