Caden Sumrs’ residence.
The rent for the repair shop was about to expire, and Yvette Aston, Sumrs, and Caden had always been cramd in there.
"Brother, the rent is due, should we renew it?" Yvette asked softly. "The landlord ca today for the rent, saying they want to increase it."
It was obvious soone had approached the landlord, deliberately making things difficult for Yvette and Caden.
Caden sighed, leaning against the door and smoking. "I’ll solve the housing issue."
Yvette nodded. "Brother... Sumrs got into a fight with a classmate today, hit the Sinclair family’s young master, Stephen Sinclair."
Caden froze for a mont, his fingers holding the cigarette stiffened. "Is Sumrs hurt?"
Yvette shook her head. "There’s a bump on his head, nothing major, but the school... we can’t go back. Stephen Sinclair’s mom is Chelsea Grant, from the Grant Family."
Caden frowned, speaking in a low voice. "No more, we’ll change to another kindergarten."
Yvette gave a bitter smile and nodded. "Brother... do you think I shouldn’t be alive?"
Caden threw away his cigarette butt and pulled Yvette into the courtyard. "If you died, what about Sumrs? No dad, no mom, how do you want Sumrs to live?"
"I’m sorry... brother." Yvette lowered her head, tears hitting the ground.
Caden took a deep breath, glanced at his phone. "I’ll work overti tonight, I’ll handle the money issue. Just take care of Sumrs."
"Monday, I want to work, there’s a job interview opportunity," Yvette glanced at Caden.
Caden nodded. "Okay, before Monday, we’ll solve Sumrs’ school issue."
Yvette nodded, sitting in the courtyard dazed.
Caden was very busy lately. He thought his female boss was a bit crazy, generous with money but liked to ss with people.
But since she paid well, he accepted it.
...
Early the next morning, Yvette took Sumrs to look for other kindergartens.
Each kindergarten welcod them warmly, but as soon as it ca to inputting information, they were inexplicably rejected.
The reason given was that Sumrs did not et the admission requirents.
Yvette already understood, going to more kindergartens would be useless, it was Chelsea Grant causing trouble.
Chelsea already resented her because of Chase Sinclair, and now she had found an excuse and reason.
"Yvette, going to any more kindergartens is useless, I’m waiting for you to beg ."
Yvette stood at the entrance of a kindergarten and saw Chelsea Grant parked by the roadside waiting for her.
It seed she just wanted to see Yvette’s misery.
"Mom, I don’t want to go to kindergarten, is that okay?" Sumrs asked softly.
Yvette shook her head. "We’ll find another kindergarten."
Preschool education is very important, and Yvette didn’t want her son to lose at the starting line.
This way, when he enters primary school, it would be very tiring.
"Yvette, I’m curious, how did you persuade my brother to help you?" Chelsea ca to see Yvette, not just to humiliate her, but also to find out what Ethan Grant was planning.
Ethan wasn’t exactly a kind soul, there was no reason for him to care about Yvette.
There were constant conflicts within the Grant Group, and Chelsea and Jayden were full siblings. If an outsider had to be chosen, Ethan would definitely be the outsider.
Chelsea wasn’t fooled, she feared Ethan’s help to Yvette was to deal with Jayden.
After all, Jayden once loved Yvette dearly, and Yvette was also once Jayden’s fiancée.
Was Ethan trying to humiliate Jayden?
Or was it to warn and infuriate him?
Yvette ignored Chelsea.
"Yvette, I really want to see how long you can remain proud." Chelsea sneered, got in her car, and slamd the door.
Feeling irritated by Yvette’s arrogance, Chelsea called Jayden. "Are you still in Montville?"
"Hmm..."
Jayden didn’t know Yvette had returned to ridia. He made up an excuse to stay in Montville to find Yvette.
He couldn’t admit he still couldn’t forget Yvette.
"If you don’t co back soon, ridia will turn upside down! Did you know Yvette’s son is attending Aegis because Ethan arranged it? She’s being so arrogant now, she even let her son hit my son yesterday! I heard she even scolded Jessica Hale."
Chelsea laughed mockingly, it was really sothing, reaching for the sky.
Jayden froze for a mont, his voice urgent. "Who are you talking about? Yvette? She’s in ridia?"
"Yes, now with Ethan as her backing, she’s unbearably arrogant. Do you know what Ethan wants to do? Have you offended Ethan again recently?" Chelsea actually wanted family harmony.
Unfortunately, their mother and Jayden’s ambitions were too big.
Jayden’s voice imdiately dropped. "Ethan Grant, so it was him."
Indeed, the person who took Yvette away was Ethan, and it was Ethan’s idea to have the police take him at the banquet.
Was Ethan using Yvette against him? Heh... really despicable.
After hanging up, Jayden looked at his assistant with a grim face. "Drive, get back to ridia as fast as possible!"
...
Lockwood Villa.
Michelle Lockwood wore pajamas, lazily lying on a massage chair with a face mask on, occasionally sipping coffee.
She glanced at Caden standing beside her like a robot, rolling her eyes.
Clueless man.
Aside from the day he shielded her from a knife, Caden never even wanted to take another look at her.
Michelle suspected it was because she wasn’t pretty or charming enough.
If they were in M Country, those n would have lost control long ago.
But Caden’s face remained stoic.
"You’ve been standing there all night, aren’t you tired?" Michelle was quite interested in Caden, this man... seed to need money.
He saved her from a knife, acted like he had nothing to lose while traversing an alley, that energy intrigued Michelle.
She investigated Caden, from a poor family, with a little nephew to look after, suffered sabotage in auto repair, lost 300,000, took a high-interest loan, with interests piling up, now it’s around 600,000.
Caden remained silent, unresponsive.
Last night Michelle asked him to enter the room, he refused, standing outside all night.
Caden was in need of money, but he ca to be a bodyguard, not a... gigolo.
Michelle raised an eyebrow, removed her face mask, throwing it aside, yet to et a man she couldn’t handle.
"Don’t you have a request? I heard you owe on a high-interest loan, I can help pay it off," Michelle smiled charmingly.
Caden frowned, slightly displeased.
For these wealthy heiresses like Michelle, indeed money wasn’t a concern, 600,000 was like 6 dollars to them.
But he didn’t need it.
"So unresponsive." Michelle huffed, annoyed. "You can get off work now, get lost."
She could fire Caden directly, but Michelle found it hard to part, firing him would an no more stubborn logs like him around to tease.
Recently, Michelle found a new hobby of teasing Caden, it was quite interesting.
Hearing he could get off work, Caden sighed in relief.
Entering the changing room, Caden went to retrieve his clothes and phone.
Just then, Yvette called.
"Brother... Chelsea has notified all kindergartens in ridia, it’s very difficult for Sumrs to get enrolled," Yvette’s voice choked up.
Caden’s grip on the phone tightened, these people really went too far. "Don’t cry, I’ll handle it."
Hanging up, Caden raised a hand to rub his forehead, sitting on a changing room bench for a long ti.
How could he solve it? Unless he asked Michelle...
