Chapter 692 Why Are You Still Up?

Evan swiftly turned, gripping Caroline’s hand as he led her up the stairs.

Caroline strained to free herself and exclaimed, “Evan, we can talk right here! No need to go upstairs!”

But Evan remained steadfast and headed to her room.

After closing the door behind them, Evan asked, “I thought you had something to tell me. Why are you

introducing superstitions to the child at such a young age?”

Rubbing her sore wrist, Caroline retorted, “I don’t owe you an explanation!” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Evan’s brow furrowed. “Don’t jeopardize a child’s future out of spite, Caroline!”

“Am I really jeopardizing a child’s future? You have no clue what happened after Lia returned from the

graveyard the other day!” Caroline shot back.

Evan asked, “What happened?”

Caroline reluctantly explained Liora’s condition during those two days.

Evan was taken aback and asked with a serious expression, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

Caroline countered, “Would it have made a difference? You’d still doubt me like today, possibly even

hinder Lia’s treatment!”

Evan fell silent for a moment. “It’s an inexplicable situation, but you can’t let Liora continue those lessons.”

Caroline asked. “Why do you care so much about my daughter?”

Evan averted his gaze. “I don’t.”

“Since you don’t, then you should leave,‘ Caroline insisted.

Evan locked eyes with Caroline. “Are you still angry with me?”

Caroline managed a smile. “Do you think I’ve forgotten about you taking me to the hospital without my

consent?”

“I apologize for that,” Evan said.

Caroline retorted, “Do you think an apology erases the hurt?”

Evan gazed at her and explained, “I was extremely worried about your health then. I never suspected your

and Casey had any improper relationship.”

“Forget it, Evan. Even without that incident, we can’t be together,” Caroline stated.

“Caroline, he and I are not the same. Why do you always equate me with him?” Evan grew agitated.

Caroline looked at him coldly. “Don’t forget, his blood runs through your veins.”

“If my father is truly the culprit, I’ll cut ties with him! I’ll give you the closure you deserve,” Evan declared

resolutely.

With that, he turned and left the bedroom, leaving Caroline in shock.

“What did he mean earlier? Cutting ties with his father? Is it because of this incident?”

At 1:00 a.m., Axel called Neil, who was barely awake.

Neil groggily picked up the call, and Axel urged, “Uncle Neil, I’ve sent you a file. Please take a look.”

“Why are you up so late, Axel?” Neil asked.

Axel rubbed his tired eyes and persisted, “Uncle Neil, there’s a video clip in the file I sent you. Check it out.

Now fully awake, Neil grabbed his phone and examined the file Axel had sent.

Several clear images appeared when he opened the file.

“I’ve enhanced the video clip quality. It should be much clearer now,” Axel informed him.

Neil scrutinized the video clip, and his expression turned icy. “It’s incredibly clear. You can even see their

faces.”

One of the clips revealed the face of the Jordans‘ butler.

Neil’s father, Hugh, stood across from Bernard, engaged in a conversation. After a few minutes, two bodyguards forcibly escorted Hugh into a car.

The other surveillance footage showed the car traveling to Riverside and Rill Park.

Even without footage of the incident itself, a rough picture of the situation could be pieced together.
