Chapter 1054

Author: Shining Riviera
After everyone at the entrance had left, Kirk told Caroline, "Let's get out of the car."

"But …" Caroline hesitantly looked at the people walking out, then glanced at the mall entrance.

The doors had already been closed halfway. This was a clear sign that they were closing.

"Let's go," Kirk said again.

Caroline said nothing else and followed Kirk out of the car. Then, they walked to the mall.

There weren't many people around the mall at this time, but some still looked at Kirk and Caroline curiously. In particular, they looked at the mask on Kirk's face.

They kept staring at them as they walked to the mall. Kirk pulled Caroline and squeezed through the door.

There was a security guard at the entrance. When he saw someone coming in, he was about to drive them away. But after seeing the newcomer's face, he gave a courteous smile. "Hello, sir."

Kirk nodded slightly. Then, he strode forward with Caroline. Only then did Caroline realize that the mall wasn't closed. It had been clear

    Kirk swallowed when he saw Caroline's smile. "I'm fine with anything as long as you're happy.""In that case, tell me where you want to eat. I'll be happy if you tell me."Kirk chuckled at her words and sat down next to Caroline. "You're using my words against me."Caroline pouted. "I'm not. I'll be happy as long as we're going to a place you want. You always want to make me happy, and I want to do the same."Kirk swallowed again as he stared into Caroline's bright eyes. After suppressing some unwanted thoughts, he said, "Okay, let's have some stew.""Okay." Caroline smiled sweetly.They went to the 11th floor and soon arrived at a stew shop. The two of them went in, and for some peace and quiet, Caroline refused the calls and hollers of the staff.After the food was served, the staff members were gone in the blink of an eye.Kirk glanced at the beer on the tray and said casually, "Why did you order so much beer?"Caroline smiled. "I just want to drink a little." In truth, she

    The moment Caroline's hands pressed the clamp, she hesitated. She remembered the promise she had made to Kirk. As long as he stayed by her side, she wouldn't uncover his mask. So what on earth was she doing now? Why was she doing this just to dispel her doubts? Caroline slowly pulled her hands back. She stared at Kirk's chin unhappily. Suddenly, she raised her chin to try to bite his chin to vent her anger, but she ended up kissing his chin instead. She couldn't bring herself to hurt him.However, Kirk, who was pretending to be drunk, realized he had made a mistake. He had already known what Caroline was up to, so he played along and pretended to be drunk. He was thinking about how to get past this predicament, but he hadn't expected Caroline to give up at the last moment. Now he had gotten out of that predicament just to end up in another one.Caroline nuzzled Kirk's chin as if it were something addicting. The more she did it, the more fun it became. She kissed a trail d

    The next day, Caroline, who had sobered up, saw Kirk sleeping beside the bed. Her expression shifted at the sight.Then, her memories from last night slowly came back to her, and she looked at Kirk with wide eyes.If Kirk had brought her to the hotel after she had gotten drunk last night, that meant he hadn't been drunk at all! He had just been pretending.Caroline was relieved that she had decided not to remove Kirk's mask. She stared at Kirk fearfully. The fact that he was here meant that he wasn't angry, right?She watched him uneasily for a long time. She felt annoyed with herself.She had really messed up yesterday. She couldn't believe that she had thought about uncovering Kirk's mask. Even if Kirk wasn't angry with her, he would still be on guard against her from now on.Just as Caroline was criticizing herself, Kirk opened his eyes quietly. When he did, he saw Caroline's frustrated expression.Her face looked vivid in the sunshine, and she looked so beautiful that he c

    Caroline had too many questions to ask. "But as far as I know, every city is aware of protecting themselves. So how could a neighboring city agree to ship Evans Group's products from their ports?"This was the reason why she had never considered shipping her products from a neighboring city."You don't have to worry about that. I've already negotiated things with them."Caroline's eyes widened at his words. "And they agreed?""Yeah, so you don't have to worry about the Hacketts putting pressure on you through their ports from now on."Caroline smiled slightly. "Thank you.""We're close, aren't we? You don't have to thank me." Kirk smiled half-heartedly. Then, he became stern again. "But this incident is a wake-up call for Evans Group. Relying on other ports to ship your products has never been a safe option. As long as the people in charge refuse to export your shipments, you won't be able to ship them out."Caroline sighed. "There's nothing we can do about that."Among the b

    Caroline was startled and moved closer to Kirk. "You know about that?"Kirk glanced at Caroline and then looked away. He said bitterly, "Would you rather go to him than me?"His tone amused Caroline. She nudged Kirk's arm. "He's the one making trouble for me. Of course, I have to see him. You're not causing trouble for me at all, so why should I go to you?""But …" Kirk took a deep breath. He couldn't bring himself to be upset with Caroline. "Forget it. It's actually quite simple to solve Cheryl's issue.""You can ask Eddy to take down the articles?"Kirk pinched Caroline's chin. "Never saw that name again." After Caroline nodded obediently, he said, "Actually, you don't need to go to Ed—"Kirk felt annoyed just talking about Eddy. He was annoyed that Eddy kept haunting their lives, and he was also annoyed by their familial connections."But Delilah said we can't resolve this scandal by clarifying things. We can only dispel the claims that Cheryl didn't support her parents.

    In front of Kirk, Caroline dialed Cheryl's number.Right now, Cheryl was sitting in front of the window, staring at the traffic outside in a daze.Jack was watching her nearby. He was worried that she would be affected by the scandal online, so he had watched her all night long. When he saw Caroline calling, he quickly picked up the phone. "Ms. Evans."Caroline wasn't surprised to hear Jack's voice on the phone. "Is Cheryl there? I have something to tell her.""Did you make any progress with the scandal?" Jack walked to the door with the phone and whispered."Yes. So, hand over the phone to Cheryl. I have something very important to ask her."Jack was delighted to hear that. "Okay, I'll pass the phone to her."With that said, he returned to the room. Holding back his excitement, he handed the phone to Cheryl. "Cheryl, Ms. Evans is calling."Cheryl was still staring at the scenery outside the window. After a few seconds, she slowly turned around. Her eyes were dull, as if she

    As long as Caroline and Kirk were on the case, they could solve any problem.After arriving at the company, Caroline gave Delilah the photo of Willow in the five-star hotel.Delilah was stunned when she saw the photo. It took her a few moments to respond. "Where did you get this photo, Ms. Evans?"Caroline asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the photo?""It's not that. The person who got this photo must be extremely powerful. If I recall correctly, this hotel belongs to the Hacketts. "It's best known for its safety and privacy. Therefore, many wealthy people like to take their mistresses to this hotel. Many reporters also knew about this and wanted to visit this hotel to get photos of their affairs. "But after more than ten years, no reporter has been able to take a single photo of people at this hotel. It goes to show how confidential this hotel is."Caroline was shocked. She had never expected that there would be such a story behind a seemingly simple photo. Then,

    After Delilah published the photo, it prompted everyone to form their own conclusions."Didn't Willow say that their family was poor? If her daughter never provided for her, how can she have the money to stay in such a luxurious hotel?""I know this hotel. It belongs to the Hacketts. Even the cheapest room costs a few thousand dollars a night. Where did she get the money?""Could Cheryl be the one who paid for it?""If that's the case, why would Willow say Cheryl was disloyal to her parents?"This question made the person who thought Cheryl had paid for the hotel room freeze.Everyone had different opinions about the issue. After a lengthy discussion, they still couldn't draw a conclusion.Since Willow didn't have a Twitter account, everyone had to go to the account that had posted the video of Willow exposing her daughter's misdeeds and ask the moderator what was happening.Sure enough, the moderator didn't know what was going on either. She was just someone who was working fo

    Soon, Kirk and Caroline met up with Thomas. When he saw the two of them, his eyes turned bloodshot from the rage boiling within him. "You won!" He spat with so much force that it seemed like he had used up all his strength for it. "Things didn't have to come to this," Kirk said calmly as he sat down beside Thomas. Thomas snorted derisively. "Oh really? If you hadn't chosen to marry Caroline at such short notice, do you think Eddy would have died? You two were the cause of the tragedy!" Caroline didn't feel like talking anymore after seeing how foolishly adamant Thomas was. She gave Kirk a look, and he hummed in acknowledgment. When he turned to face Thomas again, his eyes were frosty "I'm here to tell you something," he said.Thomas let out a bark of scornful laughter. "Why? What else do you have to tell me, huh? Are you going to tell me that you have a child now?" "It's not about me and Caroline's child. It's about yours," Kirk stated plainly as he stared at Thomas

    "Yes, it's true! Why would I lie to you about something so important?" Betty said. "This is wonderful! Marietta's wish has finally come true." Caroline turned to look at Marietta, who had just stopped by the door. Marietta was so shocked by the results that she was too stunned to speak. All she did was stare at Caroline in silence. Caroline opened her lips to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. She and Marietta stood facing each other, tears streaming down their cheeks. The next second, the two of them rushed toward each other and hugged each other as tightly as they could. The words that were at the tip of their tongues turned into tears at this significant moment. The others felt touched as they witnessed the mother-daughter duo's reunion. After some time, Betty broke the silence. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her 'Mom'!"Caroline had once used that word to address Marietta, but she hadn't known that Marietta was her biological mother back then.

    Blushing, Caroline nodded. However, Kirk couldn't lift his head due to his injuries. So, Caroline took the initiative to bend over so that she was closer to him. Their lips touched. Yet before Caroline could get that warm, fuzzy feeling she always had when they kissed, she heard Gwen's voice. "Oh? Did we come at the wrong time?" Gwen grinned.It gave Caroline such a shock that she almost fell to the ground. Cheryl reacted quickly and gave Caroline an arm to hold on to for support. Steadying herself, Caroline stared daggers at Gwen, who giggled and placed the supplements she had brought on a table. Sean and Kirk started discussing what had happened that day, while Caroline led Gwen and Cheryl out of the ward. "Are you two back together?" Gwen asked. There was a sparkle in her eyes, which said enough about how eager she was to gossip. When Caroline nodded, Gwen patted her back gleefully and said, "Great! We all know how much Kirk loves you, even though he kept his ident

    As Caroline mentally prepared to face death, there was a sudden, loud commotion. The noise was followed by gusts of wind that were so strong that no one could pry their eyes open to see what was going on. Still, Caroline could make out the silhouette of a helicopter above her. She had no idea what had happened next, though. …When she woke up, she was already lying on a bed in a ward. Beside her were Betty and Marietta, their eyes red and puffy from crying. When they noticed that Caroline was awake, the two of them shot up from their chairs."Carrie? You're finally awake!" Still groggy, Caroline forced herself to hum in response. After getting up, she grabbed Betty's hand and said, "Where's Kirk?" "He's fine," said Betty while wiping the tears off her cheeks. "He's in another ward, but he hasn't woken up yet." "Can I see him?" Caroline asked, tearing up. Betty nodded and asked Sean to push Caroline's wheelchair to the ward next door. Caroline couldn't hold back her

    Kirk and Caroline hadn't even caught their breaths yet when they sensed a more intense attack coming their way. It didn't seem like these people were human. They seemed like monsters, bringing destruction wherever they went. Caroline watched the situation outside in concern. "Why hasn't Nightshade come back yet? Did he lie to us?" she asked. Kirk gritted his teeth and replied, "No, he wouldn't. They're all people from the dark web, and they're all honorable. Since he promised to bring the top two assassins, he'll definitely come back."As he spoke, he pushed her into a car. "But before that, you have to leave first," he insisted.Caroline noticed that his words were only directed at her. She grabbed his hand tightly. "What do you mean by that?"What did he mean she had to leave first?He replied, "Finn has sent over all his trump cards. If you don't leave, I have no doubt that he'll come here too. So, you need to leave now!" Caroline grabbed his hand. "We haven't gone to Ci

    When she saw his reaction, Caroline couldn't help but smile. "What I mean is, let's head to City Hall to re-register our marriage certificate. The information we used to register our marriage before was all fake. "Can we update it with the real information now?"Kirk brightened up. "No problem."She looked at him and smiled again. However, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "Oh, I forgot about Thomas. Do you think he'll send someone to ambush us when we go to City Hall?"Kirk fell silent. He didn't want to change the plans, but he still said, "Then, let's wait for Nightshade to find the assassins—"Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out from downstairs. His face dropped, and he rushed to the window, where he saw two groups of people engaged in a gunfight. One of the groups was Thomas' men."What's going on?" Caroline asked as she got up from bed."Thomas must have found out that Nightshade left, so he took the chance to ambush us."Kirk led her to a

    "If you make up with Kirk, I'll help you find them both."Caroline and Kirk were stunned to hear Nightshade's condition. Kirk had never expected Nightshade to say such a thing. Caroline was also in disbelief. She felt somewhat reluctant to agree to it."You don't agree?" Nightshade asked when Caroline remained silent. "Alright then, if you disagree, I won't look for them. Besides, Thomas is already planning to go all out against you. "When the time comes, I can escape. But what about you two?"Caroline looked at Kirk. "Thomas plans to go all out against us? You're not lying to me?"Kirk met her eyes and gulped. "No."She pondered for a moment, then looked at Nightshade again. "Do you really have a way to help us find the two assassins?""Of course.""Okay." Caroline lowered her head. "As long as you can help us find those two assassins, I'll agree to your condition."On the other side of the room, Betty and Marietta exclaimed excitedly when they heard her words. "Carrie, do

    When Betty noticed how confused everyone looked, she said, "Oh, dear. Did you all forget?"Back then, when Marietta did the DNA test with that girl from the Hackett family—no, the fake Ms. Hackett—Caroline was the one who went to the restaurant with her."She continued, "Didn't we look through the footage from that day? Then, we called in the people who were at the restaurant that day to do another DNA test."Although they had unfortunately been unable to find Marietta's daughter, Betty still considered it a great effort. "We had thought that we had tested everyone. But there was someone who we didn't test!" Betty's eyes lit up as she looked at Caroline. Marietta immediately understood what she meant. She looked at Caroline with excitement, but she didn't dare to get her hopes up. "Caroline…"Caroline also looked at Marietta excitedly. "I… Aunt Mary… this… Is it possible?"Betty replied, "Why wouldn't it be possible? We tested so many people back then, and you were the only

    Sarah was about to tell Caroline, but Dan stopped her."Don't tell her. Let her live in pain without ever knowing who her real parents are. Besides, do you really think she will get us the best lawyer?"Caroline wasn't upset that they hadn't taken the bait. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face. "You still have some sanity left."Upon realizing her trick, Sarah shouted angrily, "You liar!"However, she was taken away before she could shout more. Caroline watched as Sarah and Dan disappeared in the police cars. The feigned strength on her face finally disappeared. She might never find her parents in this life. But she didn't regret it. She tilted her head and glanced at Kirk, Cheryl, and Jack beside her. She had no regrets anymore.Even though she couldn't get her parents back, she was content that she had so many friends."Let's head back." Caroline's voice was weary. She needed a good rest, but there was still a tough battle waiting for her. The news about Caroline n
