Chapter 477 Not Foolish Enough

Neil asked, “Has the culprit been found?”

Caroline said, “I went to the police station last night…”

She stopped as she heard approaching footsteps.

They turned toward the sound and spotted a nurse wheeling Scott back into the room, causing Caroline

to withhold her words.

She exchanged a glance with Neil, silently postponing their discussion.

Neil nodded and turned his attention to Scott, asking. “How do you feel?‘

Scott smiled faintly. “I feel much better. It wasn’t anything serious from the start.”

Caroline chimed in. “I brought you breakfast. You should eat… some.”

Scott wheeled himself closer, remarking, “I was planning to grab a bite in the cafeteria after the tests

earlier, but it seems unnecessary now.”

Liora hurried over to Scott, focusing on his legs beneath the thin blanket, and greeted, “Papa Wilson.”

Scott inquired, “Hmm?”

Liora asked, “Why are you in a wheelchair when your head is unwell?‘

Scott pushed the blanket aside, revealing his bandaged ankle, and explained, “I sprained my ankle,

and it’s

swollen. Using a wheelchair helps with my recovery.”

Caroline was taken aback. She rose from her seat and said, “Why didn’t you tell me this last night?”

Scott looked away and replied, “Why burden you further when you’re already swamped with work?”

Caroline sighed, lowered herself, and inspected Scott’s injury. He covered himself with the blanket

again.

and reassured her, “Don’t worry. I’ll recover soon.”

Caroline gazed at him in frustration and asked, “What else are you hiding from me?”

Scott pretended to contemplate for a moment. “I think that’s all.”

Caroline chuckled. “Never mind. I won’t ask anymore.”

Smiling, Scott said, “Don’t take it to heart, and don’t blame yourself for my situation…”

While Scott spoke with Caroline, Neil observed their conversation, pondering whether Scott was

comforting or guilt–tripping her.

Afterward, Caroline, Neil, and the children bid farewell to Scott and left the hospital.

In the car, Neil suggested taking the children to the amusement park.

Fifteen minutes later, the children entered the park, leaving Neil and Caroline to converse in a leisurely

area.

Neil ordered coffee for Caroline and asked, “Carol, what were you trying to tell me in the room earlier?”

Caroline replied, “It’s about Scott.”

Neil inquired, “What’s your opinion?”

Caroline recounted her visit to the police station and Evan’s house the previous night.

Neil commented, “I think you’re right about Evan not being foolish enough to do this.”

Neil pondered further.

“Hmm. Neil, who do you think is trying to target Evan and me simultaneously?” Caroline asked.

The waitress served their drinks, and Neil helped Caroline insert a straw into her drink. In my view, one

person is now the most suspicious.”

Caroline sipped her drink, contemplated, and then a name came to mind. She looked at Neil and

asked, ”

Are you talking about Casey?”

Neil affirmed, “Yes. Casey wants to use you to deal with Evan. Thus, he would definitely create conflicts

between you and Evan to solidify the partnership between you and him.”

A shiver ran down Caroline’s spine as she remarked, “If that’s the case, it makes sense that only

someone

like Casey could afford to pay 140,000 dollars in cash. I have to investigate this thoroughly.”

Neil asked, “How do you plan to investigate this?”

Caroline shook her head. “I have no idea right now. I need to think it through because I’m swamped

with

work. Oh, by the way, Scott mentioned that your company will be celebrating its 100th anniversary next

month.”

Nell frowned. “How does he know about the 100th–anniversary celebration?”

Caroline explained, “He said he heard it from the nurses.”

Neil appeared skeptical, “From the nurses? But only our internal employees are aware of this.”
