Chapter 303
THE UPLA
Though the failed mission remained unresolved, Carlson had at least settled another vexing matter
So he thought about it for a while, and because he was so imaginative that he felt much better, he suddenly felt that he could fall asleep
Carlson stood up and didn’t forget to lock the door of the stindly when he left, and then returned to his room with satisfaction
The next day.
He didn’t rush out so early today. While having breakfast in the morning, Carlson asked the butler to call the school and tell the teacher that Kevin would take a day off today.
Hearing his instructions to the butler, Kevin, who was eating, didn’t understand why, but he didn’t ask
He didn’t dare to ask.
Although he was young, he was quite sensitive to emotions, probably because his father often lost his temper at home.
Knowing that his father had been in a bad mood these past two days, Kevin had been very careful in everything he did, for fear of making a loud noise and disturbing him. Even if there was something he could not solve by himself, he would go to the butler or the nanny at home, and never bother his father,
Even though Kevin was living on eggshells, he was still unwilling to go and live with his mother.
In his heart, Karen was someone who betrayed his father. In addition, he knew that things had not been going well at home recently, and Karen’s departure at this time made it even more unforgivable.
Carlson had also been whispering bad things in his ear, which made Kevin even angrier.
When Karen or Lucy call
y called him after school, he never answered.
He just wanted to express his dissatisfaction with both of them in this way.
Before they finished breakfast, the butler ran over to report to them, with a hint of joy in his tone, “Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones has returned!”
Hearing this, the servants near the dining table all raised their heads, their eyes full of joy.
were happy. In the past, when Karen was at home, if Carlson was unhappy, he would take it out on her
Of course, they w
Since her departure, they’d become his targets.
It was also at this time that they suddenly realized that Karen, who had always seemed meek and submissive, played such an important role in this family.
Every day when they saw Carlson returning home with a sullen face, no matter how scared they were, they had to approach him.
But the Jones family paid a high salary, and no one was willing to leave, so they had to bite the bullet and live in fear every day.
Now that they heard that Karen was back, they were all very happy.
Finally, they could go back to their previous lives and didn’t have to be the scapegoat for Carlson

If they could make money with their dignity intact, who’d choose to swallow insults?
The butler thought the same way, he seemed even happier than Carlson.
“Mr. Jones, please let her in, he pleaded cautiously from the side.
Carlson glanced at him and saw the expectation in the butler’s eyes, and sneered in his heart.
‘I didn’t realize she was such a capable woman. So she’s been cultivating the staff behind my back. But so what? I’m the one who pays their salaries, so I’m the one who really calls the shots. Karen should spend less time trying to win over the servants and more time trying to please me?”
Thinking of this, his mood improved considerably. He nodded slightly and said to the butler with an indifferent expression,
“Let her in.”
The butler hurried out to get her, his eagerness drawing another sneer from Carlson.
At the dining table, Kevin, who knew nothing, was bewildered. He looked up and asked softly, “Is Mom back?”
Carlson looked away and nodded. An idea occurred to him and he said, “She’s back today to take you away, to live in that small, broken–down house and suffer”
There was deliberate provocation in his words. Sure enough, Kevin’s eyes widened in surprise.
Kevin didn’t understand why Karen would do such a thing. Why take me to suffer when there are big houses to live in?”
Seeing the expression on Kevin’s face, Carlson felt a surge of satisfaction.
In this family, only Kevin was clear–headed and intelligent, reminiscent of his childhood.
Suppressing his satisfaction, he said to Kevin deliberately.
“We are divorced. I can’t stop her from seeing you. If you go with her and find it hard to adapt to the food and sleep, tell her and ask her to bring you back to me.”
As soon as the words fell, Kevin said without thinking. “Dad, I don’t want to leave with Mom now. Don’t let her take me away, okay?”
That wouldn’t do.
Carlson had his own plans. If Kevin didn’t go with her, what if she used seeing Kevin as an excuse to stay?
Carlson was waiting for her to be unable to bear it outside and come back to beg for mercy, so naturally he didn’t want to see this happen.
But he couldn’t say that to Kevin.
After thinking for a while, he patted Carlson on the shoulder with a helpless expression. If you don’t go, she’ll think I’m stopping you behind her back, and she’ll argue with me again.
Just go live there for a while. If you can’t stand it, come back and make a fuss, and she’ll have no choice but to send you
back.
Hearing this. Kevin finally agreed, but he felt even more resentment toward Karen
He didn’t understand why Karen had done something wrong and wanted to drag him along to suffer.
He was already dissatisfied with Karen’s actions, but now he felt even more resentful.
Chapter 30
When the butler came in from outside with people, Kevin was still holding a grudge and didn’t even raise his hear
The first thing Karen saw when she came in was Kevin over Carlson. Kevin was burying his head in his food, and she didn’t notice anything wrong. Her voice trembled as she called his name.
“Kevin, I’m here to pick you up
Kevin reluctantly raised his head after her voice fell.
At this glance, he felt that Karen had changed a lot. Her clothes were much simpler than before, and there was an indescribable feeling about her.
Kevin felt conflicted. Even though he was full, he kept stuffing food into his mouth because he didn’t know what to say
Carlson, who was sitting next to him, cleared his throat.
Karen hadn’t looked at Carlson once since she came in. His pride was hurt, but he also felt that she was being too manipulative.
She was clearly here for him, yet she pretended not to see him. It was utterly hypocritical.
Carlson put down his fork and said unpleasantly, “Since we’re already divorced, don’t stay here too long. Pack up his things and go.”
Karen seemed to only notice Carlson then, turning to look at him.
Her eyes were strange. They were fixed on him without blinking, like a doll’s.
They held a mix of emotions: the thrill of revenge and a lingering farewell, as if she were about to leave this world forever.
Carlson frowned, a chill running down his spine as their eyes met.
In short, he was very resistant.
His tone became even more unpleasant, and he raised his eyes to question her. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
As if thinking of something, he sneered and said sarcastically, “Don’t tell me you have some terminal illness. Do would believe that?”

Even outsiders could hear the deep malice in his words, let alone Karen.
The servants, who were quietly paying attention to the commotion here, felt a pang of sympathy for Karen.
The servants winced at his cruelty.
Karen had finally returned, and if Carlson angered her again, it would be them who would get scolded in the future,
But Karen showed no signs of anger.
She had gotten used to it over the years, and at this point, there was no need for her to be angry with Carlson over words.
Therefore, she just looked away indifferently and walked to Kevin’s side.
After such a long time without seeing Kevin, Karen missed him dearly. She sat beside Kevin and waited for him to finish eating before taking him to his bedroom to pack.
During this time, Carlson, in an extremely bad mood, deliberately clanged his plate and fork louder to vent his
dissatisfaction.

Kevin stored up and followed her upstairs
He didn’t say a word the entire way, and Karen couldn’t help but overthink
After entering the room, she dosed the door, frowned with worry, and asked, “Kevin, did your father hit or scold you while I was away?
the knew that Carlson loved Kevin very much, bur Carlson had hit her when he was angry two days ago, so there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t hit Kevin
She was well aware of the current situation of the Jones family.
That was precisely why she wanted to take Kevin away from the Jones family as soon as possible, so as to avoid involving
him.
Unfortunately, her son didn’t understand her good intentions at all.
Kevin was too young. He rushed to pack his textbooks while complaining in a low voice, “You don’t have a job and you don’t make money, so why don’t you let Dad support you at home? Why do you have to take me with you to suffer!”
Karen looked at him in shock upon hearing this.
She obviously couldn’t believe that these words came out of her son’s mouth
But then she remembered that she had indeed been at home all this time, doing nothing, so it was normal for Kevin to have such thoughts.
She fought back tears as she patiently explained to Kevin.
“Kevin, I admit I was exactly as you described before. But that’s going to change now. I’ll take good care of you and Lucy. We may not live as lavishly as before, but having our family together will be more than enough.”
Karen didn’t return to the Martin family. She knew that even if she went back, her father would send her back.
This time, her mother told her that after her father learned about her divorce from Carlson, he was furious at home and said that he would expel her from the Martin family.
So Karen didn’t dare to go back, and she didn’t even plan to go back in the future.
Her father was an opportunistic person. After the Holmes family took action and something happened to the Jones family. he would be the first to clear his relationship with her, afraid that she would affect the family business.
So Karen now used her previous savings and jewelry to support her two children. Her mother would give her some money from time to time.

It was not as good as the life in the fees teily, be it was also very wealthy, she would be let her two children suffer in terms of food, clothing, honning and transportation.
This was Karen’s plan the sacrificed everything for her children.
Kevin didn’t say anything. It wasn’t that he understood Kares greed intentions, but that he thought of what Carson had said to him when he was rating just now
He went there and then made a fons about coming back. If Karen and Lucy really loved him, they should come back and line at home with hir
He packed his things without saying a word
When Karen saw this, she thought that Kevin had taken her words to heart, and she was very pleased.
Without wasting a moment, driven by her urgency to leave the Jones residence behind, Karen began helping Kevin pack his
clothes.
After everything was parked, she went downstairs and called the butler, asking him to find someone to carry the things to
The butler was surprised to hear this request, and looked at her with some distress. “Mrs. Jones, aren’t you here to stay?”
Karen shook her head, her expression flat. “Don’t call me Mrs. Jones anymore. We’re divorced.”
“But…The butler hesitated, seeming to want to say something, but stopped in time.
But isn’t that just talk? If Mrs Jones really leaves, what are we supposed to do? Just keep taking his abuse forever?”
At this moment, Carlson, who was standing at the turn of the stairs, said sternly. “Don’t stop her. If she wants to leave, let her leave.
Having been ignored since this morning, he finally couldn’t take it anymore.
He had intended to come up for a look but didn’t expect to hear their conversation
He walked up to them, sneered, and said, “You’d better get out of here and never come back”
Karen hummed in acknowledgment, went past him, and walked downstairs calmly
The butler was left speechless, while the furious Carlson stared at him in disbelief.
“Well..” the butler stammered, then quickly excused himself.
“Mr. Jones, I’ll go help Kevin with his luggage”
Carlson, still standing in place, clenched his fists in anger.
He still couldn’t believe that Karen would leave him willingly,
But it didn’t matter if she left. As long as he made a call to the Martin family, they would send Karen back without hesitation.
After all, this was an arranged marriage. She had no right to indulge in childish whims.
Thinking of this, Carlson felt relieved. He took out his cell phone, walked to the balcony, and called the Martins to tell them
