Chapter 127 You’ve Mistaken Me for Someone Else

The chubby woman grunted, “Compensate with money then! I’m not asking for much, just 700,000

dollars! I won’t accept a penny less!”

Caroline smiled and replied, “It’s not expensive to address a child’s emotional trauma with 700,000

dollars.”

The chubby woman was astonished and asked, “Can you afford it?”

Caroline confidently said, “Yes, of course. However, should we consider the emotional trauma my

child endured?”

The chubby woman’s expression changed drastically, “Your child is fine. Why should we even

consider it?”

Caroline looked at the surveillance camera in the office and calmly said, “Shall we review the

footage? I recall you scolding my children earlier, calling them fatherless bastards. Words hurt

more than physical violence. I’m not asking for much, either. One million dollars to compensate

for my two children’s emotional trauma.”

The chubby woman stood up and scolded, “Your child bullied mine first, and now you want to

blame me?”

“I shall settle the score with you then.” A deep voice came from the office entrance just as the

chubby woman’s voice faded.

Caroline was stunned, her gaze shifting to the man walking into the room. He had a tall, muscular

figure that felt oppressive to everyone present.

The students attending this preschool were children of influential figures.

The chubby woman recognized the person right away. “Mr… Mr. Jordan!” she stammered.

Evan looked at her sternly. “How will you compensate for my child’s loss? One million or two million

dollars? Or shall I take your whole Wunder Corp.?”

The chubby woman’s face turned ghastly pale. “I was wrong, Mr. Jordan! Please forgive me just this

once! It was my son’s fault. I’ll make sure he apologizes right away. I’m sorry!”

“Do

you think I need money?” Evan said in a cold, mocking voice, “Don’t let me see you again, or I’ll make

Wunder Corp. disappear from Angelbay in three days.”

“Yes, sir!” the chubby woman answered, swiftly running out of the office with her child.

Alice introduced, “Mr. Jordan, these are the two children who helped Axel, as I mentioned earlier ”

Caroline began to feel uneasy, having the urge to cover her children’s faces upon hearing Alice’s

Evan looked stunned upon seeing Liora and Tyler. The girl resembled Caroline, while the boy bore

a striking resemblance to Axel.

Abruptly, Evan shifted his gaze to the woman wearing shades. He had a strong feeling that the

face hidden beneath them was the one he yearned for day and night.

With a tense expression, Evan instructed, “Go outside, Ms. Young!”

Alice hastily left the office, closing the door behind her. The atmosphere inside grew more

awkward and intense.

Caroline felt the urge to run, but her feet seemed frozen in place. Liora and Tyler examined Evan

and their mother.

Evan approached Caroline, and his voice shook slightly as he asked, “Who are you?”

Caroline suppressed her panic and answered coldly, “You must be bored, sir. How many times are

you going to ask this question?”

With certainty in his tone but disbelief in his gaze, Evan insisted, “You’re Caroline Shenton, right?”

Caroline frowned due to his unusually emotional expression–she had never seen him like this

before. He seemed doubtful yet relieved as if he had finally found someone he had been searching

for.

Trying to clarify, Caroline said, “Sir, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not Caroline.”

“You’re lying!” Evan pointed at the two children. “How do you explain how similar they look to me?
