Chapter 763 He’s Being Treated Unfairly

Frustrated, Daniella texted Azure back.

Daniella: [Can you do it? Don’t come to me again if you can’t!]

Azure sent a smiling emoji.

Azure: It’s simple. But when are you going to give me the thing?]

Daniella: [There’s a hole in the northwest corner of Jordan Residence. ITI put the thing in a box and cover it with bushes at 3:00 a.m. You have to come and take it.]

Azure: Great. It’s a deal.]

Daniella stopped responding to Azure’s messages. A determined and ruthless look appeared in her eyes.

She wanted to see how Paige, who had been acting arrogantly, would react.

Caroline headed to the factory in the afternoon. Her purpose was to meet with the staff there and discuss the uniform details Zeke Corp. required.

Unexpectedly, she received a call from Scott as she was en route.

Surprised, she picked up.

Scott asked gently. “Is this a good time, Carol?

Caroline smiled and replied, “It’s been a while since you called. You’ve been quite busy.”

Scott chuckled. “Do you miss me?”

Caroline felt a bit awkward. She believed it was important to maintain some distance from Scott, especially because she was planning to reconcile with Evan,

Scott changed the subject. “Alright, 111 stop teasing you. Are you free tonight?”

After some thought, Caroline said, “Yes, I am. What can I help you with?”

Scott sighed. “I wouldn’t call you if there was nothing. Have you and Evan gotten back together?”

Unsure of how to resporid, Caroline redirected the conversation. “I apologize if I said something wrong.

How about dinner together?”

“Sure.” Scott nodded. “I’d like to treat you both to a meal because I’ve been promoted to director.”

Caroline genuinely congratulated him, saying, “Congratulations on your promotion! Have you informed Paige and Kenny?”

Scott replied, “Not yet. Could you help me tell them? I’m swamped right now.”

“Of course,” Caroline replied.

“I’ll text you the details of the hotel and the time.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call with Scott, Caroline dialed Paige’s number, and Paige picked up promptly.

Paige was still drowsy. “Carol? What’s going on?”

Caroline checked the time. “It’s 3:00 p.m. Are you still asleep?”

Paige yawned. “It seems like I’ve been perpetually tired lately. Pregnancy is so strange.”

Caroline laughed and said, “Get up and get ready. Scott wants to treat us to dinner tonight.”

“Scott?” Paige instantly thought of Scott’s expression that day and became more alert. “Why does he want to take us to dinner?”

“He’s been promoted to director,” Caroline explained.

“Oh, will Kenny be joining us?” Paige asked.

“Yeah, Scott asked me to let you guys know.”

“Alright, I’ll get up now. Do you have some time later? Let’s go pick a gift for him,” Paige suggested.

“I’ll come to pick you up in an hour then.”

“Okay.”

Fifteen minutes later, Caroline arrived at the factory. After a brief meeting with her staff, she asked Kenny to accompany her.

Kenny was thrilled to hear about Scott’s promotion. “Scott is amazing! He should’ve been promoted long ago. It’s unfair that it took this long!”

Caroline smiled and asked, “Do you think becoming a director is that easy? What kind of gift do you think

Kenny was stumped. “I didn’t even think about that until you mentioned it. What kind of gift would suit him?”

Caroline shared Kenny’s bafflement.

After picking up Paige, the three of them sat in the backseat, still pondering the ideal gift for Scott.

Frustrated, Kenny turned to Caroline. “Did you inform Neil?”

Caroline looked surprised. “Scott didn’t mention my brother.”

Kenny wondered, “Did he forget about Neil because he’s so busy? They’re usually so close. He must have forgotten to inform Neil.”
