No! I won’t approve of this! I can’t bear to send my child away. I can’t! Alice was curious to hear what Ethan had to say. “Caroline belongs to the Knight Family.” The man spoke in a firm and unwavering tone as he stared at her. “So, she has to come home to us.”

His words are so f*cking harsh and straightforward! I can’t even act as if I don’t understand what he’s saying! Why can’t he be a little less explicit about his needs? He’s so bold and demanding that he gives me the urge to punch him. Even though Ethan didn’t say much, his intentions were clear—he was going to bring Caroline home regardless of whether Alice approved of it. Furthermore, Alice didn’t feel like she could reject Ethan’s request.

If Caroline had belonged to another family, or if someone else had approached Alice, Alice might have felt more worried. However, she knew that she had no reason to worry if Caroline was entering the Knight Family. The Knight Family was practically a model family in town—they were extremely respectable people. Ethan’s grandfather was a war veteran and a leader, while one of his sons was a government official with high authority. Ethan himself was focused on the business side of things, and Knight Group was one of the top companies in the whole country. It was rumored that Ethan was more active in charity than he was in his business at this point.

A family like the Knights wouldn’t lie to Alice about such things. Furthermore, Alice knew that she had no reason to stop Caroline from returning to the family, who shared the same blood as her. Even though Alice felt really heartbroken, a part of her had always hoped for Caroline to find her biological family and return to them. Ethan stared at Alice without saying anything else.

“What are your terms and conditions, Miss Woland? You can tell us what you want.” Caleb had been standing beside Ethan the whole time, and he figured that it’d only be appropriate for him to speak up and offer something, especially since Alice had cared for Caroline for the past few years. Even though most of the evidence indicated that Alice wasn’t the one who slept with Ethan that night, Caleb knew that Ethan treated Alice in a manner that was different from the way he treated other girls. Furthermore, with all that happened with Caroline, Caleb was certain that Ethan would agree to whatever Alice wanted.

Woland Group. It seems like Mr. Knight wasn’t too pleased after hearing that Woland Group had been handed over to Bruce. Why doesn’t he just help Miss Woland get the company back? Someone as capable as Mr. Knight can probably get this done with the snap of a finger. “Miss Woland, your wedding with Bruce didn’t work out, so…” Caleb wanted to say that they could help

away from her after she was presented with a few DNA tests. Anyone in her position would feel horrible. Alice might have felt a little better if she hadn’t cared for Caroline, but the truth was that she cared for Caroline to a point where she felt like she had sacrificed more for Caroline than she did for Apollo. She felt as if someone was slicing off a piece of

fuming. However, she knew that everything she said at that moment was fueled—she just wanted to let out some steam. She knew that the Knight Family was powerful, but she also knew that they weren’t the type to bully others with their power. It was impossible for them to kidnap Bruce just for him to get married to her. My precious little Caroline is about to be snatched away from me.

sorry, Mr. Knight. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Alice froze for a moment as well. She assumed that Ethan was referring to her marriage documents with Bruce. “There’s no need for that. Bruce

Caleb felt his knees buckle with shock—he was just as taken aback as Alice was. All the evidence clearly indicates that Miss Woland wasn’t the one who slept with Mr. Knight that night.
