Daniella was excited and quickly grabbed her phone to check. However, she soon discovered that
the call came from Hector Hendrix, not Casey.
Daniella didnât want to assume too much about Hector. He was a mysterious individual she had
never met, yet he had quietly assisted her on multiple occasions
She answered the call cautiously. Mr. Hendrix, arenât you sleeping yet?
Hector said coldly. âSleeping? Are you slacking off? You donât plan to go after Caroline anymore?â
Daniella was stunned. In the past, she was the one who took the initiative to ask Hector for help to deal
with Caroline. Why was Hector now reaching out to her for that purpose?
Daniella said, âMr. Hendrix, youâre mistaken I hate her so much I canât wait to see her vanish from
the face of this world! Itâs just that I havenât had the time yet.â
Hector sneered. âYou donât have time? Or are you just afraid Evan will get hurt in the process?
That was strange. Why did Hector suddenly mention Evanâs name?
Daniella quickly defended herself. âOf course not. He drove me away so heartlessly. How can I not
hate him?â
Hector said, âIn that case, make good use of the opportunity you have to kill two birds with one.
stone.â
Daniella was puzzled âMr. Hendrix, I donât quite understand what you meanâ¦
Mr. Hendrix scoffed. âDidnât Casey already tell you about his familyâs scandal?â
Daniellaâs eyes widened in shock.
Was he talking about Evanâs motherâs secret? But how did Hector know about it? Was he
monitoring her?!
Clutching her chest as her heart raced, Daniella stammered, âYâYes. 1âI get it.â
Donât disappoint me!â
âOkay.â
After hanging up, Daniella stared at her phone in a daze.
Hector had sent her that phone, and he must have been monitoring her to know about Evanâs mother.
She couldnât make any reckless moves now. Otherwise, with Hectorâs capabilities, she might end up in
trouble.

But then again, Hectorâs words were a little puzzling.
It sounded like he wanted her to deal with Caroline as soon as possible, but she had a feeling that
once this matter was exposed, Evan would be the one who would be affected.
What was Hectorâs motive for helping her out of the blue? Also, who exactly was he?
After pondering for a long time. Daniella made a decision. She would uncover the truth about
Hector and reveal his true identity. She couldnât let him continue manipulating her like this!
The next day.
When Evan woke up, he saw Caroline curled up on the sofa.
Just as he was about to get up, the ward door was pushed open.
Reuben walked in with breakfast in hand and placed it on the bedside. âMr. Jordan, hereâs some
breakfast for you and Ms. Shenton
Evan nodded and said calmly, âCover her with a blanket â
Reuben nodded. He picked up the blanket beside him and was about to cover Caroline with it
when she opened her eyes
âThereâs no need to trouble yourself,â she said sleepily. Then, she sat up and looked at Evan. âDonât
pull out the needle. Make sure the IV drip finishes)
Evanâs expression softened âAlright Come over and have breakfast.â
âNo, thank you.â Caroline looked at her watch. âItâs getting late. I have to go to the office. Have a good
rest.â
Evanâs expression instantly turned cold. âHow long can breakfast take? Or is it that as the vice.
president, Kenny, canât even handle the most basic internal affairs of the company?â
Caroline stopped in her tracks. She suppressed the urge to retort.
She reminded herself that Evan had saved her life, so she shouldnât argue with him if she could
avoid it.
Caroline controlled her temper and replied, âKenny can carry his own weight, Iâm sure. But that doesnât
mean I should be idle. Since I was absent the entire day yesterday, heâs been busy enough. Iâll take the
breakfast with me. Is that acceptable?â
As she spoke, Caroline walked to Evanâs bedside, picked up a bag of breakfast, and was about to
leave.

Evanâs face darkened, and he could not help but ask, âAre you concerned about him?â
âEvan, can you please be reasonable? Carolineâs frustration was instantly ignited.
Reuben was at a loss for words while holding the blanket
Why were they arguing over breakfast?
Evan sneered. âAm I being unreasonable, or are you just in a hurry to see him? You can i even go a
day without meeting him?â
Ivan, are you crazy? Caroline was enraged âIs there a problem with me going to the company? Kenny
has to keep an eye on the factory, so I need to manage the company. I had decided yesterday that I
would try not to argue with you whenever possible because you saved my life. But I never expected
you to say such unbearable words!â
Caroline stormed out of the hospital room, leaving behind such a frigid atmosphere in the room
that Heuben wanted to make a run for 1.
Evan looked at Reuben coldly. âWas I being too harsh?â
Reuben was speechless, but his boss had asked him a question. There was no way he could avoid
answering.
Reuben braced himself and said, âManaging the company sounds prettyâ¦â
âI didnât ask you any other questions!â Evan shouted in a low voice.
Reuben stammered, âYâYou were rather harsh. Ms. Shenton just wanted to go to the company. She
didnât say she wanted to see Kenny. You were the one who mentioned it firstâ¦
Evan frowned. âDidnât she imply it?â
âNoâ¦â Reuben sighed. âMr. Jordan, donât you go to the company every day to work?â

âIs her small company as busy as mine?â Evan asked.
At the mention of this, Reuben became serious. âMr. Jordan, I have to say that in the fashion Industry,
Ms. Shentonâs companyâs quarterly sales have far exceeded MKâs current quarterly sales.
âFurthermore, MKâs sales for the newly designed products have hit an allâtime low.â
Evan narrowed his eyes. âCarolineâs company has the highest quarterly sales in the global fashion
market?â
âYes! MK is currently in second place,â Reuben replied. âThe recent incident involving Ms.
Shenton has garnered a lot of attention and indirectly boosted the companyâs image. Of course,
Kennyâs design skills are one of the contributing factors.â
â
Upon hearing that, Evan fell into deep thought.

A moment later, he said, âI want you to continue finding a way to poach Kenny! I want him to join
our company!â
Bouhen was s
Reuben was shocked. âAre you planning to continue competing with Ms. Shenton for talent?â
Competing for talent was putting it nicely. Evan was clearly trying to ruin things for Caroline.
Evan scoffed and looked at Reuben unhappily. âAre you suggesting I admit that Iâm inferior to a
woman? When it comes to relationships, Iâm willing to compromise with Caroline in every way. But
when it comes to business, Iâll never let anyone else stand in my way, not even friends or
family!
âBesides, Kennyâs personal life is too messy. He shouldnât hang around Caroline all the time!â
It sounded reasonable enough.
Reuben understood that this was purely a business decision. If the boss compromised in every aspect
because of relationships, he would not be as successful as he was today.
Reuben nodded. âI understand. Iâll contact Kenny!â
Just as Caroline arrived at TYC, Naomi knocked on her office door and walked in
âMs. Shenton, thereâs someone waiting for you in the reception area.â
Caroline was puzzled. It was only 830 am. Who would come looking for her so early?
Caroline walked toward the reception area and pushed open the door. She saw Jamie in a white
dress sitting on a chair. On the table next to her, there was a thermos flask.
When she saw Caroline, Jamie quickly picked up the thermos flask and stood up. âCarol, I brought
you some soup.â
Caroline was surprised to see her. âJamie, why did you come without calling me first?â
Jamie looked at Caroline warily and said, âI called you, but your phone was turned off. Last night,
when I saw that you didnât come back for the entire night, I asked Ty and Lia, and they told me that you
were drenched in the rain last night.
asked Dr. Bailey what medicine would be good for you. She said some hot soup would do the job, so I
had her help me make some and brought it to you.â
