Caroline chuckled. *14,000 dollars? Sure, you can pay me that.”

Daniella’s expression changed. “Why should I pay you 14,000 dollars? Can’t you see that my car

with yours because you parked haphazardly?”

Caroline gestured toward the surveillance camera with her chin. “See that camera? I was driving

straight when you turned and crashed into me. This is a parking area, Daniella. Think before you

speak.”

“What do you mean, think? How dare you criticize my granddaughter when you’re just a mistress?” A

Daniella and Caroline turned together. A shadow moved swiftly before Caroline could see the person

clearly.

A loud slap echoed, followed by a burning pain across her face. Caroline’s bodyguard quickly shielded

her.

Caroline was briefly stunned, her gaze turning cold as she felt her burning cheek, She raised her head

and looked at Grayson, who had appeared in front of her.

“It seems Daniella’s arrogance is a result of your guidance,” she said coldly.

Grayson was furious. “How dare you speak to me like this?”

Caroline sneered. “Since you don’t show any respect, why should I?”

Caroline’s bodyguard was left speechless.

He turned to her. “Should I inform Mr. Xander about this incident, Ms. Shenton?”

“It’s fine. There’s surveillance footage. My brother will find out sooner or later, Caroline replied.

“So you’re not going to do anything about it? the bodyguard asked in amazement.

Caroline turned and walked to the car. “No, I’ll just wait for it to trend.”

Axel: [Are you there, Ty?

Tyler quickly glanced at the teacher and then typed on his computer to manipulate the data.

Tyler replied after disconnecting from the teacher’s monitoring system.

Tyler: [I just logged into the software, and your message came in. Where have you been lately?]

Axel typed with effort.

Axel: [Let’s not discuss that now. Someone assaulted Mommy, and it’s being suppressed on the

Tyler’s eyes widened in shock.

Tyler: [Who?]

Axel sent the link to Tyler.

Axel: [I don’t have my laptop right now. Please manipulate the post to make it trend.]

Axel set his phone aside and anxiously awaited Evan’s arrival.

Tyler clicked on the link and watched the surveillance footage, his fists clenched in anger. He

immediately sent the footage to Neil and hacked into
