Caroline hopped into the car alongside Liora and Tyler, ready to address the Axel situation.

Before she could, Liora beat her to it. “Mommy, Axel didn’t come to school today either. Tyler and I

approached a classmate to inquire. It appears he missed school yesterday, just like us.”

Caroline couldn’t help but smile at how Liora claimed to have “approached” a classmate.

“Did he send you guys a message explaining his absence?” she asked.

The phone was in Tyler’s possession. He shook his head and replied, “No, he didn’t message us about

that, only a Christmas greeting.”

Caroline glanced down, her mind racing with thoughts about Axel’s whereabouts and whether Evan

had

transferred him to another school due to yesterday’s incident.

She decided to send Axel a text, asking: [Axel, did you switch schools?]

Meanwhile, Axel lay weak in a hospital bed, having just endured several bouts of vomiting. His face

was

pale, and he seemed lost in a daze.

When his phone rang, he furrowed his brow but couldn’t muster the strength to open his eyes.

Hearing the phone, Evan reached for it and checked the message from Caroline. Her text made his

mood. gloomier. He responded: [No, I didn’t go because of something.]

Caroline felt a sense of relief after reading his reply.

Caroline: [You won’t be at school tomorrow either? I was hoping to see you.]

Evan: [It might take a while. My tutor is coming for a lesson.)

Caroline’s expression soured at this message. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Evan deliberately

kept

Axel away from her.

She knew that a school environment played a crucial role in a child’s education, and Evan’s actions

seemed to prioritize that over Akel’s relationship with her.

Despite her frustration, she maintained a gentle tone in her response.

Caroline: [Alright, listen to your tutor. I’ll be here when you return.]

Lying on Caroline’s lap, Liora blinked up at her. “Did Axel reply, Mommy? What did he say?”

“He’s just busy.” Caroline assured, gently patting Liora’s head. “Don’t worry.”

“Okay,” Llora said, her disappointment evident.

Upon returning home, they found Eira had already prepared dinner. Kenny was there, lounging at the

table.

and chatting with Eira while awaiting Caroline’s arrival.

Kenny heard the commotion at the door and perked up. “Hey there! I heard from the fashion

department that Joan is now working for MK?”

Caroline encouraged the kids to wash their hands and replied, “Yes, Joan’s clothing line is already on

the

market.”

Kenny probed further, “Did you ask her why? Doesn’t she know Evan is your rival? What kind of

situation is

she putting you in by aiding Evan?”

Caroline felt annoyed by the persistent questions. “She must have her reasons, Kenny. I can’t interfere

with her choices. What matters now is that I need to work fast and design clothes to compete against

her.

Kenny looked stunned. “Are you planning to reveal your identity as G?”

Caroline nodded. “Given Joan’s popularity in both Etes and Eurossia, I have to unveil my identity in this

competition.” ”

Kenny’s excitement was evident. “You’ve finally seen the light. I can already imagine the buzz this

showdown with Joan will create on the Internet.”

Caroline looked at him wearily. “Do you really think it’s a good idea?”

“Absolutely! It’ll be a game–changer for the company to inform everyone that G is working for TYC

Fashion!

Caroline sighed and explained, “You should know that G is only famous in Eurossia, not Etes. Beating

Joan won’t be easy.”

Kenny couldn’t hide his frustration. “That scheming Evan! MK has its fingers in so many ples. Why

does he

want to snatch your fashion business?”
