“This is your salary.” Dayton handed a thick envelope to Vera. “Mr. Monroe instructed that even if you only worked for a day, you should be paid for the entire month.”
“I don’t need the money.” Vera took the envelope and added a stack of bills into it, handing it back. “Take this to buy something for the house servants, say it’s a gift from Mr. Neil.”
“What?” Dayton was somewhat hesitant,
He thought Vera had a difficult background as an orphan, and it was not easy for her to
save money.
“After I leave, please take care of Mr. Neil and Ramon. Please don’t refuse the money.” Vera insisted that Dayton accept. This was the only thing she could do for Neil at the moment.
Dayton thought, ‘If Vivian is indeed Mrs. Monroe, it makes sense that she wants to spend some money on Mr. Neil. So, he accepted. “Thank you, Miss Vivian.”
“By the way, this is Mr. Monroe’s apology.” He handed a bag to Vera.
Vera felt like she must have misheard. ‘Did Carlos ever express an apology?‘ she , thought.
Opening the bag, she found a box of scar removal cream and some beautiful scarves.
Vera couldn’t help but chuckle. She had just noticed that her marks were gone when she went to the bathroom. She didn’t need these things anymore.
Were these really gifts from Carlos? Then why didn’t he bring them himself?
Vera smiled and returned the items.
She said, “Keep the scar removal cream. It’s a good thing. It’s not only for removing scars but also for soothing and nourishing the skin. It’s the best for minor injuries and pain. As for the scarves, you can give them to the maids and housekeepers on behalf of Mr. Neil.”
“But these were personally chosen by Mr. Monroe. Are you sure you don’t want them?”
Dayton’s heart sank. He thought, ‘Five years had passed, and Mrs. Monroe didn’t treat Mr. Monroe as nicely as she used to be. In the past, Mrs. Monroe would have happily accepted them and even thought about reciprocating.’

He immediately thought of James, who excelled in all aspects compared to Carlos.
Although Dayton had only seen him once, he could tell that James genuinely cared for Vera. Perhaps that was the reason for her change of mind.
Dayton sighed heavily in his heart.
Perhaps he shouldn’t have been meddlesome giving Vera what should have been thrown in the trash can.
“Forget it,” Vera smiled and shook her head.
If Carlos really chose these, she wouldn’t want them. If it wasn’t, and Dayton bought them for her because he was afraid she would leave embarrassed, she couldn’t accept them either.
“Dayton, there’s one more thing I need to ask you for help. Please make sure to show Mr. Monroe the footage of Averie harming Mr. Neil. Also, keep an eye on her, and don’t let that venomous woman get close to Mr. Neil.”
She didn’t care about the Monroe family, and she just couldn’t bear to let her son gèt
hurt.
If she moved to another city, Vera had a chance to take her son away. But here in Hiyon, she couldn’t succeed. Moreover, what she needed was for Neil to willingly go with her.

anymore.
“You can rest assured.” Dayton nodded. “I’ve been keeping an eye on her.”
Late at night, when Carlos returned home, Vera and her two children had already left, and even Neil was asleep.
“Is Neil fine?” Carlos looked at the empty living room and was reminded of Vivian and the two children. He felt an inexplicable irritability.
“Miss Vivian has been trying hard to comfort Mr. Neil, but he’s still not happy. Dr. Miracle put him to sleep,” Dayton honestly replied.
Carlos felt distressed hearing that his son was unhappy.
However, Vivian was James’s woman. Leaving her by his son’s side would be a disaster. He was afraid that Vera would hold Neil hostage to threaten him.
“Let everyone not disturb Neil. In a few days, he’ll forget about that woman.” Carlos

believed that a child’s affections came and went quickly.
Dayton remained silent and thought, ‘Can he really forget about his mother?‘

Following Vera’s instructions, Dayton showed Carlos the footage of Averie hurting Neil.
Carlos glanced at it and asked, “Did Vivian ask you to do this?”
Carlos thought, “This woman is truly restless. She has to meddle even after leaving!‘
