As Willow looked at the script over and over again, she felt hesitation wash over her. However, she no longer had the chance to back out because the crew had already finished setting up and were urging her to begin....When Caroline went to work the next day, she got some bad news. The goods that needed to be exported from Orbisia Port were stuck at the port. They couldn't move them by an inch."Why?" Caroline asked, visibly upset. If they didn't ship out these supplies, Evans Group would lose millions of dollars.Cheryl's mood wasn't affected by what Willow had said yesterday. She opened the documents and explained, "The Hacketts have always rented Orbisia Port. I guess they gave the order not to let us export our supplies."Caroline's expression shifted at her words. "The Hacketts?"She immediately thought of Aurora and Asher's relationship. Then, she remembered that unpleasant meal back then.Caroline asked, "Can we deliver our goods from another port?""We can, but it wo
Upstairs, Aiden and Selena thought they had misheard the housekeeper. They asked each other in unison, "Did you hear that?"After a while, they gradually calmed down and walked out of the room.When the housekeeper saw Aiden and Selena walking out, she said excitedly, "Please wait a moment, Ms. Lewis. Mr. Hackett Senior will be down soon."Cheryl was speechless. After three minutes, she finally heard Aiden's trembling voice on the phone, as if he was trying to control his emotions. "Hello, I'm Aiden Hackett." Cheryl thought she was overthinking things. Aiden was a stranger. He wouldn't be so excited to answer a phone call."Hello, I'm Cheryl Lewis." Cheryl almost forgot her reason for calling them. "I'm calling to set an appointment. We heard that you've just returned, and Ms. Evans would like to visit you. Is that all right?""Yes, of course, that's okay. Well …" When Cheryl was about to hang up the phone, Aiden asked hurriedly, "Cheryl—I mean, Ms. Lewis, will you be joinin
Confused, Aiden and Selena took Asher's phone. When they saw the article, their expressions shifted at the same time.The news article detailed a shocking scandal about Evans Group's CEO's assistant. It said that she didn't support her parents. She shouted at them, hit them, and even tried to kill her own brother. They called her a scumbag.Aiden and Selena felt their hearts beating faster with every sentence they read."That's impossible. How could Cheryl be someone like that? I don't believe it." Selena shook her head, falling onto the couch. "I don't believe it."Seeing this, Aurora approached Selena. She patted her back and said, "Mrs. Hackett Senior, there's no way Cheryl is someone like that. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.""That's right! There has to be a misunderstanding!" Selena seemed to have thought of something and grabbed Asher. "We've investigated her. Cheryl's family treats her pretty well, but since Caroline took over Evans Group, Cheryl's salary
Once she got in the car, Aurora couldn't resist letting a triumphant look appear on her face. She glanced at Asher, who had finally walked out of the Hacketts' residence. When she saw him smiling, she knew that their plan had succeeded.Sure enough, when Asher got in the car, he said cheerfully, "My parents have agreed to our terms. They said that as long as you help my sister with this issue, we can get married."Upon hearing this, Aurora snuggled into Asher's chest in relief. But there was a hint of panic in her tone as she asked, "Sweetheart, do you think I'm manipulative for doing this?"Asher said with a smile, "Of course not. It was because of your help that the Hacketts and Morrisons were able to work together. Honey, you're so incredible that I wanted to marry you long ago. "Unfortunately, my family didn't agree to that. So, we've made our parents agree to our marriage on the condition that we help my sister. Although that doesn't sound pleasant, we don't have a choice.
From the moment Caroline and Cheryl had walked into the Hacketts' residence, Aiden and Selena had been looking at Cheryl the entire time. It was as if Caroline didn't exist at all. They didn't seem to be looking down on her, but …Their eyes were glued to Cheryl, and they didn't look away for even a second."Ahem." Caroline had to cough to attract Aiden and Selena's attention. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Hackett Senior. I heard you came back from overseas because you have made some progress finding your daughter. Is that true?"Caroline had already investigated everything before coming here. Aiden and Selena had left Hackett Group in Asher's hands during this period because they had gone to find their daughter. Now that they were back, it was very likely that they had found their daughter."Yes." Aiden and Selena kept their eyes on Cheryl. They couldn't bear to look away. This was a rare opportunity for them to see her up close and personal. Cheryl was puzzled by Aiden and Selena'
If Aiden chose to side with Caroline, he might upset Eddy, and Eddy would refuse to take down the scandalous reports about Cheryl.After getting into the car, Cheryl quickly closed the door.Caroline chuckled. "What's wrong? Are you that cold?""No." Cheryl said sheepishly, "I keep feeling that something was wrong with how Mr. and Mrs. Hackett Senior looked at me."Their gazes had been so intense. It was like a weight pressing down on her, making her unable to breathe.Caroline had also noticed it. She asked, "Have you met before?"After thinking for a moment, Cheryl said, "Probably not."She had never had the chance to meet such big shots. Besides, since Aiden and Selena had left to look for their daughter, they had never had the opportunity to cross paths."Speaking of which …" Cheryl thought of Marietta and Yvonne. "I wonder if Ms. Weiss has made any progress in finding her daughter."Caroline said, "Aunt Mary shouldn't be in a hurry to find her daughter at the moment.""T
Eddy had wanted Caroline to be far away from him. But now that he had gotten what he had wanted, he still wasn't satisfied. He was such a jerk."Caroline." Cheryl's voice pulled Caroline away from her thoughts. "Look ahead—"Caroline looked over and saw the company's entrance packed with people. The last time this had happened was because Aurora had spread rumors that Caroline had murdered someone. Why was this happening this time?Cheryl said, "Caroline, I'll get out of the car and lure them away in a moment. You should go upstairs."Caroline nodded. They thought these people were here for Caroline. They had never expected them to be here for Cheryl instead.So when Cheryl got out of the car, the reporters who were surrounding the building swarmed over to her like flies. They crowded around Cheryl until they almost crushed her."Ms. Lewis, are the online accusations of you being an unfilial daughter true?""Is it true that you hit your parents?""You once wanted to kill your
After thinking for a moment, Caroline said, "That's true. The public would also give them credit for it.""Yes. Even if we try to clarify things, we can only shed light on the first accusation. However, once we do that, those resourceful netizens will investigate Ms. Lewis' family. "They will end up getting the same news as me. When that happens, things will once again shift in Willow's favor. I'm afraid that the situation will get worse by then.""In other words, we can't clarify this matter, and we can only handle this discreetly?" Caroline asked.Delilah said, "That seems to be the case at the moment, but—"Before Delilah could finish her words, Caroline already knew what she wanted to say. Not only Caroline, but Cheryl knew as well. So, she stood up and said, "Caroline, if my issues tarnish the company's image, you can just fire me."Caroline motioned for Delilah to leave. After Delilah left, she said, "Cheryl, don't say that. You should go home and rest for now. Try not t
