Chapter 664 Seeking Axel’s Advice

Bernard found himself in a tough spot. “Ms. Love, please don’t make things hard for me. I have a family. and I can’t afford to lose my job.”

Although Daniella’s eyes were red, she adjusted her tone because she couldn’t elicit sympathy from him.”

You won’t help me, will you? Do you know who’s taking charge here?”

However, her words only made him chuckle. “Ms. Love, it’s unclear who will be in charge here.”

With that, he picked up the teapot and filled her glass.

Anxious, she observed as the tea filled to the brim and splashed onto her hands.

With a smile, Bernard gently reminded, “Be careful with this, Ms. Love. It’s Master Jordan’s prized collection.”

The scalding water caused Daniella so much pain she felt like ending it all.

Grimacing, she glared at Bernard and hissed through clenched teeth. “You’ll face divine retribution for doing this to me!” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Yet, Bernard merely grinned and offered no response.

He finally allowed her to go upstairs at 12:30 p.m., when Casey returned.

Hatred consumed Daniella as she gazed at her burned and blistered hands. She vowed to make Bernard and Draco pay.

And she wouldn’t let Caroline off the hook either.

She believed it was Caroline’s appearance that had ruined everything she had. Therefore, she had to get back at Caroline for all the suffering she had endured.

Casey entered the room as she was about to apply medicine to her hands.

When he spotted Daniella’s red, swollen hands, he was puzzled.

But soon enough, he understood.

At the sight of Casey, Daniella burst into tears.

“Casey…” She sobbed, addressing him.

A hint of irritation flickered in Casey’s eyes, but he concealed it swiftly.

He closed the door and approached Daniella, showing concern. “Did you accidentally burn your hands, Ella?”

Startled, Daniella started to deny it. “No…”

“Why were you so clumsy?” Casey sighed. “Let me help you with the medicine. Just stop crying, alright?”

Stupefied, Daniella stared at him. “‘Casey, you-”

“Listen to me.” Casey went to the cabinet to fetch the medical kit. “I’m exhausted.”

Daniella swallowed and wondered what he meant. She felt that he was the same as his father.

A shiver ran down her spine as she questioned if it was right to be with Casey.

The next day, Caroline was awakened by the sound of Tyler typing on the computer.

She opened her eyes and sat up. Ty, aren’t you quite busy?”

Surprised, Tyler turned and grinned at her. “You’re awake, Mommy?”

Caroline tilted her head, gazing at the computer screen with a headache from the unfamiliar code. “What are you working on, Ty?”

Tyler replied, “It’s a school assignment, and there’s a competition. I need to finish it quickly,”

“Really?” Caroline asked in amazement, “A programming assignment?”

Tyler nodded. “Yes.”

Caroline relented. “Alright, you’re forgiven.”

Tyler smiled and requested, “Thanks, Mommy. Can you bring some food for Axel and me later?”

Caroline glanced at Axel, who was still asleep. “Does he need to do this as well?”

Tyler explained, “No, he knows more about this than I do, and I need his help.”

“Okay, I’ll take Lia downstairs for breakfast and get something for you.”

Afterward, Caroline woke Liora and headed to Paige for breakfast after they both freshened up.

Axel opened his eyes once the door was closed and moved toward Tyler.

“How’s it going?” Axel asked with a frown.

After typing on the keyboard a couple of times, a map appeared on the screen with over ten spots emitting a red light.
