Chapter 669 There’s Something on Your Mind

Gritting his teeth, Draco muttered, “I’m certain that person is connected to the Xander family since they’re probing into that matter.”

Bemard asked, “Did Mr. Xander discover anything?”

Draco shook his head, replying, “No, Neil didn’t look into it previously. Why would he start now?”

Bernard’s sudden widening of eyes prompted Draco to recall, “Caroline? Hmph! I never have a peaceful day when she’s around!”

“Master Jordan, it may affect you if we don’t remove her,” Bernard solemnly reminded.

“I don’t have to dirty my hands with these people. There’s someone else who wants to deal with her besides me.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Smiling, Bernard asked, “I’m sure you have a candidate, don’t you?”

Draco and Bernard exchanged glances. “Go and instigate Daniella into action, then.”

After learning Draco’s wish, Bernard stood up and left Draco’s bedroom.

As soon as the door closed, Draco’s eyes brimmed with determination. He wouldn’t sit idly by while they investigated that matter.

Daniella was dozing in her room when Bernard’s knock roused her.

Half–awake, she hoarsely asked, “Who’s there?”

Bernard spoke through the door. “Ms. Love, you should wake up now. Master Jordan wants you to keep practicing how to hold a tea glass.”

Startled, Daniella sat up and peered at the door. “I’m feeling unwell today.”

Bernard persisted, “Ms. Love, everyone in the Jordan family must earn their keep.”

Daniella grimaced, looking resentful. “What can I do to make you guys stop?”

“Have some self–awareness and spare me from repeating myself,” Bernard said sternly.

Annoyed, Daniella pushed aside her blanket and got up. She approached the door and opened it with effort, extending her bandaged hands toward Bernard. “My hands are injured like this. Do you still want to torment me?‘

However, Bernard looked at her indifferently and whispered, “Don’t blame us, Ms. Love. Your downfall is your own doing. Direct your anger not at us but at the person who stripped you of everything.”

Daniella stared at him coldly. “What do you mean?”

“If you were clever, I wouldn’t need to spell it out, Bernard reminded her. “I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.”

With that, he shut the door, leaving her standing there in bewilderment.

She couldn’t deny he was right. She wouldn’t be suffering like this if she were still the Xander heiress. She blamed Caroline.

Daniella bit her lip and schemed for revenge against Caroline, thinking of someone who might help her.

She quickly retrieved her phone from under her pillow and made a call.

Caroline returned to Bayview Villa with her three children in the evening.

Evan didn’t oppose Axel going with Caroline but instructed Reuben to deliver some clothing to Caroline’s

home. He claimed it was for Axel, but he had also picked out outfits for Tyler and Liora.

Caroline felt a mix of emotions as she observed the clothes on the tea table.

“Mommy?” Liora suddenly approached Caroline. “Is my dress pretty, Mommy?”

Caroline refocused, seeing Liora in a delicate pink princess dress that enhanced her charm.

Caroline rubbed Liora’s head, smiling, and said, “Yes, it’s very pretty.”

Liora’s smile dimmed as she touched Caroline’s face. “Mommy, it seems like something’s bothering you.”

Caroline was taken aback as Liora’s hand grazed her face. “No, maybe I’m just tired.”

Disheartened, Liora suggested, “Why don’t you go upstairs and rest, Mommy-”

A bodyguard walked in, interrupting Liora.
