Chapter 465
Trapped in Love
Chapter 465 A Large Influence Caroline hopped into the car alongside Liora and Tyler, ready to address the Axel situation.
Before she could, Liora beat her to it. âMommy, Axel didnât come to school today either. Tyler and I approached a classmate to inquire. It appears he missed school yesterday, just like us.â
Caroline couldnât help but smile at how Liora claimed to have âapproachedâ a classmate.
âDid he send you guys a message explaining his absence?â she asked.
The phone was in Tylerâs possession. He shook his head and replied, âNo, he didnât message us about that, only a Christmas greeting.â
Caroline glanced down, her mind racing with thoughts about Axelâs whereabouts and whether Evan had transferred him to another school due to yesterdayâs incident.
She decided to send Axel a text, asking: [Axel, did you switch schools?]
Meanwhile, Axel lay weak in a hospital bed, having just endured several bouts of vomiting. His face was pale, and he seemed lost in a daze.
When his phone rang, he furrowed his brow but couldnât muster the strength to open his eyes.
Hearing the phone, Evan reached for it and checked the message from Caroline. Her text made his mood. gloomier. He responded: [No, I didnât go because of something.]
Caroline felt a sense of relief after reading his reply.
Caroline: [You wonât be at school tomorrow either? I was hoping to see you.]
Evan: [It might take a while. My tutor is coming for a lesson.)
Carolineâs expression soured at this message. She couldnât shake the feeling that Evan deliberately kept Axel away from her.
She knew that a school environment played a crucial role in a childâs education, and Evanâs actions seemed to prioritize that over Akelâs relationship with her.
Despite her frustration, she maintained a gentle tone in her response.
Caroline: [Alright, listen to your tutor. Iâll be here when you return.]
Lying on Carolineâs lap, Liora blinked up at her. âDid Axel reply, Mommy? What did he say?â
âHeâs just busy.â Caroline assured, gently patting Lioraâs head. âDonât worry.â
âOkay,â Llora said, her disappointment evident.
Upon returning home, they found Eira had already prepared dinner. Kenny was there, lounging at the table.
and chatting with Eira while awaiting Carolineâs arrival.
Kenny heard the commotion at the door and perked up. âHey there! I heard from the fashion department that Joan is now working for MK?â
Caroline encouraged the kids to wash their hands and replied, âYes, Joanâs clothing line is already on the market.â
Kenny probed further, âDid you ask her why? Doesnât she know Evan is your rival? What kind of situation is she putting you in by aiding Evan?â
Caroline felt annoyed by the persistent questions. âShe must have her reasons, Kenny. I canât interfere with her choices. What matters now is that I need to work fast and design clothes to compete against her.
Kenny looked stunned. âAre you planning to reveal your identity as G?â
Caroline nodded. âGiven Joanâs popularity in both Etes and Eurossia, I have to unveil my identity in this competition.â â
Kennyâs excitement was evident. âYouâve finally seen the light. I can already imagine the buzz this showdown with Joan will create on the Internet.â
Caroline looked at him wearily. âDo you really think itâs a good idea?â
âAbsolutely! Itâll be a gameâchanger for the company to inform everyone that G is working for TYC Fashion!
Caroline sighed and explained, âYou should know that G is only famous in Eurossia, not Etes. Beating Joan wonât be easy.â
Kenny couldnât hide his frustration. âThat scheming Evan! MK has its fingers in so many ples. Why does he want to snatch your fashion business?â
