All Chapters of Never End: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The mention of Gwen Worth made Dixon’s eyes widened. He shook his head and said, “There was nothing between us.”“Didn’t you date for a few years?” I asked.My question was out of pure curiosity, not judgment. After all, everyone had a past.Suddenly, I realized my question might have been out of line.I quickly tried to salvage the situation. “Pretend I didn’t ask that.”Ignoring my attempt to change the topic, Dixon started explaining, “I met Gwen worth after I just graduated from university. My boys all had girlfriends at that time and I didn’t want to be the odd one out so I got myself a pretty girl. We’ve never done anything serious before and it’s not because I was a celibate. I was just never interested in her. We were a couple on paper but nothing more until you walked into my life… I’m sorry it caused so much misunderstanding.”Dixon sighed. “While I had no romantic feelings for Gwen, I couldn’t stand by and let your family chase her away. That’s why I blamed you through

The caller hung up the call at record speed. Perhaps the sudden change in the speaker caught them off guard or Dixon was right about the identity.I did not expect Dixon to guess the caller’s identity right off the bat.However, he seemed to know what he was doing.He handed the phone back to me and explained, “When Gwen and I were together, I was very preoccupied with work and had little time for her. Feeling neglected, she would sometimes prank call me. Most of the time, I did not bother to play along.”Dixon’s eyes narrowed as he said, “I’ll look into the matter. If it really is Gwen, I’ll let you know.”Two months ago, Gwen Worth had been driving recklessly and got into an accident. Summer was the victim of the car crash. Dixon had paid a visit to Gwen to inform her about the impending charges.He once said, “I have to give her a heads-up. I do not like to keep things in the dark. When word gets out, she will blame me for abandoning her at her lowest.”Dixon Gregg was a good

I left Summer’s apartment and went to my office. My assistant was incredibly busy as I had given him official and non-official tasks. Despite the heavy workload, he was able to keep everything in order, which spoke volumes of his work ethics.At noon, Dixon called me while I was in office. His voice was crisp through the phone. “Have you eaten lunch?”I was flipping through some documents. “Lunch?”“Yes, lunch. I’ll come and pick you up if you have not eaten.”The Greggs’ company was a distance away from Shaw Corporations and a round trip would take two hours. I considered the time and said, “I already ate.”During the three years we were married, Dixon was often busy with the company’s business. I did not want him to waste two hours so I lied.He did not catch on to my lie and hung up after a quick reminder for me to take my medication.After I was done with the call, my assistant entered my office. “President Shaw, I found out who the caller is.”I met Chuck’s eye and asked,

The investigation on Charles Connor was kept on the down-low. The fact that Dixon Gregg knew about it made me suspicious. Was there an informant in the Shaw family?He was aware of every move I made.The idea was unsettling.It felt as if I had no privacy.As I was mulling over the possibilities, Dixon said over the phone, “Your assistant mentioned it to me.”The words put a pause on my thought process.On the journey to A City, I questioned my assistant. “You’re handling Summer’s request to look into Charles Connor, right?”“Yes. She wanted his contact details.”“Have you found it?”Chuck shook his head. “I only found the company’s contact, not his personal contact. I couldn’t find anything on my end so I went to President Gregg. They managed to get the details from their servers.”That answered my unasked question. “Did Dixon ask why you needed Charles Connor’s contact?”“No, he did not. He has never tried to interfere with President Shaw’s business.”Dixon Gregg had just

The servant questioned, “Are you here to deliver the master’s gift?”Chuck nodded. The servant did not have the authority to open the gates. “Please wait while I get the housekeeper.”The servant went away. The phone in my hand was begging to be answered. I brought the phone to my ear. There came a soft chuckle, followed by the words, “Caroline, are you looking into me?”I glanced at the Yale estate. It was a huge villa. Before the front entrance of the building was a manmade lake. There were lotus plants decorating the lake but the flowers were not blooming in this season. The clear waters housed golden koi fishes that swam leisurely in the pond. The landscaping was a thing of beauty.Sarcasm dripped from my words. “You called me on my personal phone and threatened me, pretty sure it justifies an investigation into your identity. What’s wrong? You heard about us looking into Gwen Worth?”“Do you really think you can find me?”“I sure can try.”There was a knock on the other end

I already had the suspicion that the culprit was Wendy, and Jennifer’s words indirectly confirmed my suspicion. “Are you Shaw Corporation’s president, Miss Caroline?” asked the butler, as he was surprised when he overheard Jennifer calling my name. A short while ago, he acted like he did not want to talk to me, but now he referred to me with an honorific. I ignored the butler. Then, I proceeded to play the audio that I had been recording for these past two days to Jennifer.Jennifer’s face turned livid after hearing the recordings. She looked at Wendy nervously. “Don’t be afraid, Jenny,” Wendy said and comforted her. Immediately after, Wendy stood up, “This incident is indeed our Yale family’s mistake. I never thought that Jenny would…”, she then asked me, “President Shaw, please propose your demands for mitigation, we Yale family will try our best to repay for our mistake.”Wendy worded her speech clear and lightly, but her proposed solution was none other than mitigating the

As a skeptical person, I would usually repetitively rethink all the actions and consequences before coming to a conclusion. What if the culprit was Wendy, and Jennifer was only the scapegoat?!That would have explained Jennifer’s unusual silence.She only wanted to quickly end the commotion.As I thought about this, I faked my smile and asked Wendy, “Miss Yale, I heard my assistant mentioned that you are Gwen’s close friend?”Unlike Jennifer who had no relations with Gwen.“Yes, we have known each other for a long time.”Wendy answered calmly without any flaws.That made me realize that there was no doubt that Jennifer was the scapegoat.Even though the actual culprit was Wendy, but I had no direct evidence that Wendy was at fault. There was no choice but to accept Jennifer as a scapegoat.Firstly, she was self willing to be sacrificed.Secondly, she had always been part of the Yale family, so punishing her would give a warning to the Yale family. That was part of my goal.M

I suddenly recalled the message he had just sent me earlier. I had to word my excuse to him properly. “I came to A City not because I did not trust that you would solve the matter for me. It’s just that I had some leads so I came here anyway.”He turned his head toward me. “Then why did you have to lie?” he asked.Lie…I did lie to him that I came to A City for a business trip.I was never good at explaining myself. As I thought about that, I sighed. “I had some clues that led to the Yale family. Originally my assistant suggested that I should inform you, but he suddenly mentioned that Madam Yale is your aunt. I did not want to place you in an awkward situation so I hid it from you. I never thought you would find out…” I explained to him honestly.I paused my explanation. “Why did you suddenly come to A City?” I asked.Dixon stopped his car by the junction, and then pulled the hand brake. He looked at me for a while. “What are you looking at?” I asked him as he touched my face.

“Yup, my brother Henry treats me the best in the world. My mother left him for me,” I said in bliss.“He treats you the best, then what about me?” asked Dixon.There he was at it again. “At least, he is the person that treats me the best so far,” I squinted my eye at him and reminded him.Dixon did not say anything in reply. Instead, he was curious about my relationship with Henry. “As far as I know, the Shaw family and Cook family were not close acquaintances in the first place. How did you both get to know each other?” he asked, confused.I did not want to tell anybody about Henry’s past. His past was like his secret, and I should not be spreading it.“We knew each other. He was my mom’s close friend’s son, so we have known each other for a long time. He’s like my brother,” I casually replied.Dixon was not satisfied with my answer but he did not pry further. Then he turned to his back and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.Seeing his straight back, I laughed silently. I t

When I woke up in the morning, Dixon was not by my side. When I touched the other side of the bed it was already cold. He probably already was awake for a long time.I got up and went to get myself ready and changed. When I reached for my phone, I saw Sheryl replied to my message at three o’clock in the morning last night.[Sheryl: I just woke up. Carol, how’s your health lately?][Sheryl: Getting married to your brother? Probably not anytime soon.][Caroline: Why not?]Did she got into a fight with Henry?!Sheryl did not reply to my message further. I pushed open the door and went out. From the second floor, I could see both Dixon and Henry sitting on the couch in the living room.They did not notice me, so I quietly walked towards them. I could hear Henry threatening Dixon. “I don’t care what will you do, but you better not do anything wrong to Carol again. Else, I will take her away from you.”Dixon answered, “None of your business.”Henry’s face went dark instantly. “Broth
