Chapter 785 Worked Out

Caroline said, “It’s not that the matter is important, but the person is, I need to meet him to talk. I’ll ask you out next time, okay?”

Evan was familiar with Caroline and knew that trying to get her to reveal who this person was would be futile.

Evan asked, “Shall I wait for you at Bayview Villa, then?”

“Alright. Please help pick up the children. Are you staying at Bayview Villa tonight?‘ Caroline asked.

Evan replied, “What’s wrong with me spending the night with my woman?

Caroline blushed and added, “Just be careful, Intense exercise can sometimes hurt your back.”

Soon after, Caroline hung up, leaving Evan in shock. He stared at his phone screen, pondering, ‘Did she tell me to be careful? Does she think I’m so old that intimacy can hurt my back?!”

Evan began to understand that Caroline might be playing hard to get.

That night, Caroline met Pete at a cafe. She finished a glass of water as she waited for him.

Pete approached, greeting Caroline from afar and talking briefly to the cashier before taking a seat across from her. He asked with a smile, “Ms. Shenton, was the evidence I provided satisfactory?”

“It’s not bad,” she remarked and then produced an envelope.

The envelope was filled with money, surprising Pete. “What do you mean by this, Ms. Shenton?”

Caroline pushed the envelope toward him, saying. “This is your compensation. If you can work more efficiently next time, you’ll be rewarded generously.”

Pete took the envelope and stashed it in his bag. “Thank you, Ms. Shenton. The family’s expenses are quite substantial.”

Caroline instructed, “Find a way to watch her at all times. She must have other malicious tricks up her sleeve after her failed attempt to harm my children.”

Pete assured her, “Don’t worry, Ms. Shenton. I’ll keep a close eye on her.”

Meanwhile, at Jordan Residence.

Daniella called Azure to request a timeframe.

The call went through, but a prerecorded message played: “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently- unavailable.”

Daniella was stunned and called again, hearing the same tone.

An idea struck Daniella. ‘Azure is cutting off all ties with me!‘

Clutching her phone tightly, Daniella realized that Azure’s move was quite clever. No one would know what Azure had done when Paige got sick as long as Azure distanced herself from Daniella.

Daniella relaxed her grip on her phone and acknowledged the shrewdness of Azure’s action. Despite feeling displeased about being used and dumped, it seemed to be working out.

She sneered, looking forward to seeing Paige in despair.

Just then, someone knocked on her door.

Daniella’s smile faded, and she opened the door.

Bernard greeted her with a smile and said, “Ms. Love, Master Jordan would like to speak with you.”

Daniella shot Bernard a contemptuous look. ‘In the study?”

Bernard confirmed, “Yes, Ms. Love.”

Daniella ran her hand through her hair and headed downstairs with an air of arrogance.

Draco had just brewed a pot of coffee in the study when Daniella walked in.
