Trapped in Love

Chapter 502 They Are in a Relationship
“Sure,” Daniella said as she picked up the agreement from the table.
Glancing over it, she felt a surge of contempt. The agreement stipulated that Evan would determine the duration of her stay
based on Axel’s condition, with a maximum limit of one year.
If she mistreated Axel during this time, she would have to pay hefty compensation and face legal consequences. Moreover, she
was prohibited from residing at Villa Rosa during her caretaking period and forbidden from entering the company or approaching
Evan under the guise of caring for the child.
Daniella shivered as she read these clauses. She wondered, ‘With so many restrictions, what can I actually do that will benefit
Casey?”
Turning each page of the agreement, she discovered that Evan would pay her a staggering 70,000,000 dollars once Axel had
recovered. Daniella’s eyes widened in shock, and a rush of emotions overwhelmed
her.
70,000,000 dollars.... I’ve never received this much money from the Xanders all these years! Evan is
actually offering me 70,000,000 dollars for his son!‘ she thought.
Suppressing her feelings, Daniella pretended to hesitate. “Evan, you don’t have to pay me 70,000,000
dollars. I’m doing this for Axel, as I’ve said.”
Evan set aside the report he held and gazed at her coldly. “Have you thoroughly reviewed the terms?”
Daniella nodded repeatedly. “Yes, the money-”
Evan interrupted, “If you have no objections, then sign it.”
Daniella called out to Evan, feigning trouble. “Evan...”
“I dislike owing favors, Evan stated, his irritation apparent. “Is there anything else?”
Daniella lacked the courage to say more. “No, that’s all.”

“Sign it and deliver the bone marrow to the doctor this afternoon,” Evan ordered sternly.
Hastily, Daniella grabbed a pen and signed the agreement. Later, she was escorted out of the hospital by
a bodyguard.
Daniella was lost in thought as she made her way to retrieve the bone marrow. While 70,000,000 dollars
was a substantial sum for her, it paled in comparison to the status of being Casey’s wife. The more she
contemplated, the greedler she became.

“If Evan can readily spend 70,000,000 dollars, what will my future hold when I gain control of the Jordans? I could have
everything I desire for the rest of my life, right?
At 1:00 p.m., the Xander Group held a press conference before major media outlets.
Neil answered the journalists‘ questions one by one.
A reporter asked, “Mr. Xander, may I ask why Grayson Xander hasn’t issued a public response regarding this morning’s
incident?”
Neil replied casually. “His health isn’t great, so I request your understanding.”
Another journalist asked, “Mr. Xander, does Grayson Xander feel remorse for his actions toward TYC’s
CEO? What caused the incident?”
Neil explained, “As everyone witnessed, he acted without understanding the situation. We sincerely
apologize to Ms. Shenton.”
A third reporter pressed, “Mr. Xander, your support for TYC’s CEO seems strong. Is there a personal
connection between you two?”
Neil smiled and stated, “Yes, because she is my family.

The Internet exploded with speculation.
[Ms. Shenton is actually part of the Xander family?]
[I heard Ms. Shenton has children. Are they Mr. Xander’s?
[This must be a hidden marriage in a powerful family. Grayson Xander must have opposed it. Outdated
beliefs! They should have the freedom to choose their own path!]
[I was wondering why Mr. Xander would disregard the company’s reputation for Ms. Shenton. Now it
makes sense–they’re in a relationship!]
[Unbelievable! What kind of relationship is this?]
Neil’s explanation created a new trending topic.
[The Xander Group’s CEO, Nell Xander, in a hidden relationship with TYC’s CEO?]
Caroline quickly read the comments and sent Neil a message.
Caroline: [Neil, how do you plan to address this in the future?]
Neil: [You’re my younger sister, part of the family. What’s wrong with that?]
