Chapter 403

Eliza was probably worried about saying too much, unsure if Caroline would be willing to listen. Caroline just hummed in response and didn't add anything else.

The conversation then shifted to the latest developments at Welton International. "Zach's under scrutiny; they're going to audit some accounts. This time, it looks like he won't dodge prison." Tristan, who cared deeply for Zach, had been fighting for him and pleading with Casper on his behalf. But Caroline knew Casper well enough to guess that Casper wouldn't let it slide. "...Regardless, Zach needs to face the consequences of his actions. Even if Casper lets it go, the law won't."

"With my dad's situation, there's no way we can return to Oak Falls anytime soon." She needed to care for him and felt quite uncertain about her future.

Caroline, sharing Casper's perspective, hoped Eliza would hire a caregiver for Mikey. This would not only ease her burden but also allow Eliza to find a job, as everyone needs to make a living. "Why not go back to working at the auction house? I'll talk to Casper; he won't say no."
