Chapter 50 Stay in the Restaurant

Bradley stood outside the company with his hands in his pockets, his face covered in stubble as

he gazed up at the skyscraper.

That b*tch dared to get me locked up! I suffered so much in there,‘ he seethed with anger. ‘I will

make her pay for it today.’

Lost in his thoughts, he suddenly erupted, bellowing, “Caroline, you come down now!”

The company’s security guards had already noticed Bradley, but they refrained from intervening

as he was merely observing from a distance. However, his loud outburst threatened the company’s

image, so a security guard swiftly approached him.

“Sir, please refrain from shouting outside the company’s premises,” the guard urged.

Bradley spat on the ground before retorting, “Don’t you dare stop me! I’m here to find my daughter.

It’s none of your business.”

The bodyguard frowned, insisting, “If you’re looking for a family member, please make a phone

call.”

“My phone’s battery died. Help me get her down here,” Bradley requested.

The security guard inquired, “What is your daughter’s name?”

“Caroline! Her name is Caroline,” he replied.

Coincidentally, Daniella arrived just in time to hear their conversation as she stepped out of her car. Her body tensed, and a glimmer of cunning intent flashed in her eyes. Taking a few steps. forward, she approached Bradley and asked, “Sir, are you Caroline’s father?”

Bradley turned around, looking at her with confusion. “Who are you?”

“I’m Caroline’s colleague. Why are you looking for her?” Daniella asked, feigning a friendly smile.

Raising an eyebrow, Bradley responded, “I’m here to get even with her and ask for money. Can you

believe she had me locked up in prison?”

Pretending to be shocked, Daniella asked, “Caroline did that?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Bradley cursed, “She’s fucking shameless!”

Daniella echoed his words, adding, “Indeed, that’s infuriating. Sir, how about this? I’ll give you the money you need. Just give me your contact number. If there’s anything, text me, and I’ll inform Caroline. Making a scene here will only tarnish your reputation, don’t you think?”

Bradley’s eyes lit up at the mention of money, and he eagerly shared his contact number. Daniella.

After putting away her phone, Daniella said, “Sir, please don’t mention to Caroline that we met. I prefer to keep my good deeds hidden from others.”

Bradley nodded firmly. “Okay, I won’t say anything.”

When Caroline arrived downstairs, Bradley was sitting on a flower bed by the company entrance She walked up to him, her gaze cold as she questioned, “What are you doing here?”

Bradley glared at her. “I’m here to teach you a lesson!”

“Is that so?” Caroline snorted. “Go ahead, as long as you’re not afraid of ending up in prison for a

few years.

A flicker of fear crossed his face. “I won’t hit you, but I’ll make you suffer.”

Caroline leaned slightly and extended her hand. “Feel free to try. Let’s see who ends up being

thrown out–me or you.”

Her desperate behavior made Bradley yearn to hit her vigorously, but he knew that she always valued righteousness before her family, so he restrained himself.

“Give me money!” Bradley changed the subject.

Caroline responded firmly, “I won’t give you a penny anymore. You want to exploit our

relationship for money? I’ve given you enough over the years. I helped you repay your debts in the past because I didn’t want Mom to be disturbed at the hospital. But now that she’s passed away, I

won’t continue paying off your debts.”

With those words, she turned away and left.

Bradley remained rooted to the spot, shocked. “Katie… is dead?”

After work, Caroline went out for dinner with Paige. They chose a relatively quiet restaurant.

After placing their orders, Paige broached the topic. “Carol, haven’t you informed the boss about

your pregnancy?”

Caroline calmly sipped her tea. “Why do you ask?”

Paige explained, “That pretentious woman is so repugnant. She claims the boss gave her a bank card to spend freely.”

Caroline’s heart skipped a beat. “He adores her so much.‘

Although bitterness lingered in her heart, it wasn’t as intense as before. Caroline set her cup down

and replied, “Hmm, it’s pretty good.”

Paige sighed. “By the way, you asked me to keep an eye on Daniella, to see if she takes her

medication. Do you still remember?”

Caroline responded with a question of her own “Did you find anything?”

Paige shook her head. “I had someone follow her for a while because of this. I even know which building she resides in. The person I hired informed me that a man entered Daniella’s house the night before yesterday.”

Caroline was stunned. “A man?‘

Evan was occupied with work at Villa Rosa on that night. Who could have entered Daniella’s

house?

“Could it be… her foster father?” Caroline speculated.

She had heard that Daniella’s foster parents had come to Angelbay City.

Paige pursed her lips. “He had blond hair. He looked like a gangster, but of course, he’s not her

foster father.” 1

Caroline was at a loss for words.

Paige continued, “Let’s not cause a commotion just yet. I’ll investigate further.”

Caroline agreed, knowing it was unwise to confront Daniella without sufficient evidence. Even

though she desperately sought something to expose Daniella’s true nature, she wouldn’t alert

Daniella until she had concrete proof.

As they finished their dinner and prepared to settle the bill, Caroline’s phone rang unexpectedly. It was Evan calling. Feeling a slight unease, she answered the call.

Evan’s voice sounded hoarse and tinged with anxiety. “Where are you?”

Caroline glanced at Paige and told him the restaurant’s location.

“You didn’t bring along any of the bodyguards, did you?” he asked.

Suddenly, Caroline became anxious. “Why? What’s happening?”
