Chapter 270 It’s Unfair to You

“Alas, you’ve been talking about that endlessly,” Jade remarked. “I didn’t expect a meal to be so expensive. The shops in the city are ruthless.”

Gregory suggested, “So, you should listen to me. Let’s go out to eat with them tomorrow. It’s free. We can spend the money ourselves.”

we shouldn’t spend it. We have to save it. Since we’re living here, she should pay for our expenses. I’ll make her buy us a house eventually,” Jade insisted.

Brandon chimed in. “Mom, what a great idea! Large, flat houses are popular in the city. We should check them out.”

Jade nodded. “Sure, let’s check them out.”

When Jamie overheard their conversation, she clenched her fists in frustration, thinking, ‘No! Carol is in trouble. I must help her!”

After Caroline finished her bath downstairs, she called Neil.

Neil answered, “Carol, are you still busy at this late hour?”

Caroline pinched her brow in exhaustion and replied, “No, I’d like to ask for your help with something” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Neil put down his document and smiled. Tell me about it.”

Caroline explained how Alex had inquired about her two children’s whereabouts at the factory.

Neil fell silent briefly, then said, “This isn’t difficult. I can forge the death certificates. But you need to consider the consequences. Will Evan be upset if he finds out?”

“I’ve already made up my mind,” said Caroline. “At least the Jordan family won’t take my kids.”

Neil replied, “Okay. I won’t say much since you’ve decided.”

Caroline sighed softly. “Neil, I know this isn’t fair to you, but I don’t have any other options.”

“Silly girl, don’t say that.” Neil chuckled. “Alright, it’s getting late. You should get some rest.”

At the same tine, Alex poured a glass of wine and pushed it toward Evan at a rooftop bar.

Looking at Alex gloomily, Evan asked, “Aren’t you keeping a woman’s company tonight?”

Alex’s hand stiffened, and he joked, “Well, women aren’t as important as my buddy, but isn’t it

normal to occasionally need their company?”

Evan scoffed. “What did you want to talk to me about?”

“I can’t ask you out without any important reason?” Alex sipped his wine. “But I do have

something to tell you.”

“What is it?” He had a hunch it was related to Caroline.

Alex explained, “I asked Caroline something this afternoon, mainly about the kids.”

Evan narrowed his eyes. “What did she say?”

Alex looked serious. “Evan, your other two kids are no longer alive.”

Evan tightened his grip on the glass Coldness filled his eyes as he spoke with difficulty. “What

did you just say?”

Alex sighed. “I know you’ll be furious when you hear this, but try to put yourself in her shoes.

You’re devastated even though you’ve never met the two kids.

“Now, think about Caroline. She’s their mother, so her connection with them is deeper than yours.

How has she managed the guilt and pain for all these years?

“But I suggest you investigate the details. The death certificates can confirm whether she’s telling

the truth or not.”

Evan’s expression turned grim. He pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
