    Chapter 666 You Should Ask Him Yourself


    Caroline was about to change into her swimsuit when Greta called her.


    She nced at Paige and said, “Take the kids out with Alex and Evan, Paige. I need to take this call.”


    Paige nodded and held Liora’s hand, saying. “Come on, Lia, Let’s check if your brothers are ready.”


    Liora followed Paige out of the changing room.


    Caroline answered Greta’s call, and thetter asked, “Carol, are you having fun out there?”


    Caroline sat on a stool and replied, “Yeah, I’m having a great time. What’s up, Aunt Greta?”


    Greta replied, ‘I’m taking food to the hospital for your grandfather. He’s not been welltely.”


    Caroline apologized, ‘I’m sorry for bothering you, Aunt Greta.”


    Gretaforted her, “We’re family, Carol, It’s not your fault.”


    Caroline asked, “Why did you call me today?”


    Greta sighed softly. “Neil went out, and Tom told me he’s meeting the people from that year’s bidding.”


    Caroline asked anxiously, “Did he go alone?”


    Greta sounded concerned. “Yes, and it’s rted to that Jordan,”


    Caroline was shocked. “Evan’s father? Is that confirmed?”


    Greta exined, “Not yet. Neil went to ask them in person.”


    Caroline asked, “How long has he been gone?”


    “He leftst night, and I couldn’t reach him on his phone,” Greta replied.


    Caroline said, “I’ll call him right away. Try not to worry too much.”


    “I’m sorry, Carol. I wouldn’t have bothered you if I weren’t so concerned.”


    “I understand, Aunt Greta. I’ll text youter.”


    “Okay.”


    After ending the call, Caroline tried to contact Neil but couldn’t reach him. She called again, but his


    phone only gave her a cold response.


    Anxiety surged within her, fearing Draco might harm Nell to keep his secrets hidden. She forced herself


    to calm down, taking deep breaths.


    Caroline thought of Nell’s assistant and immediately dialed Max, who answered promptly.


    “Ms. Shenton?” Max’s voice wasposed.


    Caroline felt relieved. “Is Neil with you?”


    “Yes,” Max confirmed. “Mr. Xander got drunkst night and lost his phone, so I got him a new one.”


    –


    “Drunk?” Caroline was confused. “Who was he drinking with?”


    Max exined, ‘It was the legal representatives of thepanies from the bidding. They had a long


    chat.”


    Caroline’s heart raced. She hoped Draco wasn’t involved in what happened to her father that year.


    “What did they talk about?” she asked,


    “I’m not sure, Ms. Shenton. Please ask Mr. Xander directly.”


    Anxiety gripped Caroline, making it hard to breathe. She replied, “Alright. Please tell him to call me


    once


    he gets his new phone.”


    “Of course, Ms. Shenton.”


    Caroline waited in the changing room for about 20 minutes until Neil finally called. She answered,


    “Neil?”

    Caroline inquired, “Did you drink a lot, Neil?”


    Neil rubbed his forehead and admitted, “My head hurts a bit, but it was all non–alcoholic wine.”
