Suddenly, Evan entered and calmly spoke. “Department of Commerce and the police station.”
Everyone turned to look at him simultaneously.
Neil frowned and remarked, “I didn’t expect you to eavesdrop.”
Evan glanced at the door. “I wasn’t eavesdropping. The door isn’t closed.”
However, Greta wasn’t bothered and asked Evan, “Why did you mention the Department of Commerce?”
Evan took his seat. “If Caroline’s father was killed, he might have been involved in something others
wanted.”
Caroline furrowed her brow at his conjecture. “So, you’re suggesting that my father might have crossed
someone’s interests. All the bidding contracts are documented if it is a business competition. We can
start our investigation there. Is that what you’re implying?”
Evan nodded. “Yes. Your time as my secretary wasn’t in vain.”
Caroline turned to Neil and said, “Neil, can you check the bidding records of the company during our
father’s tenure?”
Neil agreed, “Of course, leave it to me.
“Caroline, we’ll do our best too,” Greta reassured her. “Take some rest. Don’t stress yourself.”
Caroline nodded. “Alright, I will... Uncle Tom, Aunt Greta.”
Greta held Caroline’s hand in excitement. “That’s my girl! I’m truly honored you’ve embraced me as your
aunt.”
Caroline smiled, albeit helplessly.
After Neil took Thomas and Greta out for a meal, Caroline asked Evan, “Aren’t you going to grab a bite?”
“Reuben will bring it here,” Evan replied while texting on his phone.
Caroline briefly glanced at his phone. “If you’re busy, you should head back to Angelbay.”
Evan paused, flashing Caroline a smile. “So, you’re saying you don’t mind me staying here if I’m not busy?”
Caroline regretted her words instantly, feeling speechless. She decided to ignore him

Half an hour later, Reuben delivered lunch for them.
It was no longer just a bowl of chicken soup but a lavish feast.
The delightful aroma stirred Caroline’s appetite.
After Reuben neatly arranged the overbed desk, he placed the dishes on it one by one. “Mr. Jordan asked
me to get these for you, Ms. Shenton. They’re all your favorites.”
Caroline’s hand stiffened as she picked up a fork, her cheeks turning red. She wasn’t accustomed to
Evan’s recent attentiveness, and Reuben’s words made her uneasy. She couldn’t adapt to Evan’s sudden
change.
“You talk too much,” Evan snapped at Reuben.
Immediately, Reuben fell silent and obediently opened the takeout containers. He stood by quietly.
Evan glared at him. “Get out!”
Surprised, Reuben glanced at Caroline and realized Evan wanted to feed her.
Once Reuben left, Evan got up and grabbed the fork Caroline was struggling with.
“Why didn’t you ask for my help if you couldn’t open it?” Evan asked, his tone gloomy.
Caroline was rendered speechless yet again. She knew she wasn’t helpless.
After unwrapping the fork, Evan scooped some food onto a spoon and held it close to Caroline’s lips.
Caroline shivered–she couldn’t accept his care. She snatched the fork with her left hand. “Stop feeding me. I can eat by myself. I
can’t get used to you taking care of me.”
Evan silently agreed before getting up and saying, “I need to use the restroom.”
With that, he left.
Caroline slowly used her left hand to take some food. As she was about to eat, she heard a text notification. She reached for the
phone on her bedside table, assuming it was her phone.
