Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Evil Begets Evil (3)

Axel was caught by his mom trying to take some chicken legs and wings out, but fortunately, there were also steaks available, otherwise, his heart would have been greatly hurt.

Axel was scared of Carolline Ruiz, just like a mouse was scared of a cat. Celia Wade and Avery Graham were also uncomfortable with this phenomenon. Carolline had never beaten or scolded the child, but she had an aura of authority that made Axel afraid.

Of course, there was also a big rat over there who was also afraid of Carolline’s catlike behavior.

At 7:10 sharp, the dinner began, a nutritious and rich meal. Since they had already eaten junk food, they couldn’t eat much. On the contrary, Bryan Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. Willow, and Daisy Willow ate a lot of the main course.

During the dinner, everyone talked about their plans, and Celia Wade felt depressed again.

Daisy Willow was taking Elena Duncan back to her old house, Carolline was taking her family on a trip, and Celia felt she was the loneliest and most unsure what to do.

Daisy Willow was very sorry for Celia Wade, but she was relieved when she heard Avery Graham would move in when the rent expired.

Everyone ate happily and talked cheerfully during the meal. Mr. Willow raised a toast to thank them once again.

Daisy Willow was moved to tears by her father’s actions.

After dinner, Carolline tried to help tidy up the table, but Mrs. Willow insisted she shouldn’t. In Mrs. Willow’s eyes, Carolline was the one who saved her daughter from a troubled life, and she deserved more respect than doing any cleaning.

In the end, Carolline had no choice but to leave with her husband and child. Axel and Elena Duncan said goodbye reluctantly, but at least the start of the new school year was not far away.

This year’s summer vacation was much better than previous ones, as they could see each other from time to time. In the past, they could only meet once every two months at most.

Avery Graham decided to drive her little car away, and so they all dispersed.

–––

As Carolline had predicted, the Duncan family once again became a hot topic online due to Mrs. Duncan’s tantrum. Netizens dug up Cole Duncan’s past affairs, such as having mistresses under his mother’s support, driving his wife out of the house, then having a quarrel and car accident with his mistress.

The Duncan family was caught in a storm, and the Duncan Family Corporation was also on the cusp of public opinion.

This was something Cole Duncan had not anticipated, and it affected many people, including Mr. Liu, who never expected the power of the netizens either. At that time, he had been so cautious about his actions, yet the netizens still managed to dig up Jane Auclair’s identity, as his illegitimate daughter.

At the same time, Jane Auclair and her mother, Mrs. Wu, were also pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

The originally harmonious Liu family started showing cracks, and Mr. Liu was even asked to take a leave. Within just three days, the changes were too big for him to handle. He had originally planned to work for a few more years and then retire quietly, but Mrs. Duncan had ruined everything.

Jane Auclair and her mother dared not even leave their house recently because they were afraid of being attacked. Previously, they had had eggs thrown at them when they went out, but they could never find the culprits. Secondly, they were afraid that Mr. Liu’s wife would find them and cause trouble for them.

All their peace and tranquility were gone, and Jane Auclair never could have imagined that her seemingly perfect plan would be destroyed by the ignorant and foolish Mrs. Duncan.

Now, she finally understood that when Daisy Willow left, the woman was truly liberated. If she had married Cole Duncan, her future life might have been even worse.
