After Caroline washed up, she went downstairs to make breakfast. As she put the plates on the table, she was thinking about how to ask Kirk what he'd meant by not wanting to be friends. However, when she looked up and saw him, her mind went blank.Kirk had changed into a casual outfit, lacking his usual upper-class style. He looked more relaxed and carefree. "What are we eating today?" he asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down at the table.Caroline hurriedly looked away, her heart beating wildly like a deer in headlights. For a moment, she felt like they were acting like an old married couple. She answered, "Pasta. Let me get some for you.""I'll get it myself," Kirk responded, walking into the kitchen.Caroline stood where she was, watching Kirk put some pasta on his plate with swift movements. Then, he said, "We'll meet my dad in a few days."Caroline was surprised. "Is your father that anxious to meet me?"It might take several days to get to the bottom of the is

Hence, Gwen had started going out with Sean for food whenever she was free. They were just going for food; there was nothing more to it than that."No."Sean smiled gracefully, asking, "What can I do for you?""Carol is getting hate online." Gwen briefly told Sean the whole story. "Didn't Kirk just come back from a business trip? Ask him to stay home, keep Caroline company, and tell him not to fool around with someone else." She didn't want Caroline to get into even more trouble.Sean asked, "Since when has Kirk fooled around?""Don't think I haven't noticed. Carol has seen it with her own eyes." Gwen was annoyed. She liked handsome guys, but she only dated one at a time. She would never two-time someone."When did this happen?" Sean asked. He didn't know his friend was such a philanderer."When Caroline brought me supper that day." Gwen didn't tell him who Kirk had been with that night. She continued, "I have to go. I'm having a meeting. At any rate, just remember to tell

As soon as the organizers announced this, it caused a media storm."So, does it mean that Layla's design is actually Caroline's? Layla plagiarized Caroline's work?""I don't think things are that simple. The organizers allegedly received the complete design process of one of Caroline's designs. It looked exactly like Layla's. Some people suspect that Layla stole Caroline's design and submitted it as her own.""There's no way that's possible. Only an idiot would do that. At any rate, I don't believe it. Did Caroline buy off the organizers? Hurry, Layla! Show some evidence to prove them wrong!""I also think that Caroline bought off the organizers. She must be jealous of Layla, so she bribed them, telling them she's the original designer.""Speaking as a design enthusiast, the concepts of the two designs are completely different. The winning design emphasizes the packaging's aesthetic, while the runner-up's design focuses more on marketing value, which is a more mature approach. A v

Caroline looked up at Kirk, who was looking at his tablet on the couch. Then, she took another look at the design sketches in the organizer's post."It was you …" Caroline got up.When Kirk heard her voice, he looked up at her. He asked, "What's wrong?""You're the one who gave the evidence to the organizers overnight, right?" Caroline choked up, feeling emotional."Yes," Kirk answered honestly.Having mixed feelings, Caroline asked, "And you asked Mr. Strauss to post those photos?"Kirk silently looked at Caroline, confirming her claims.Caroline didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to thank him for helping her. If it weren't for Brie standing between them, maybe she would reconsider their agreement.Her phone rang, interrupting Caroline's thoughts. She glanced at it to see that Gwen was calling her.Gwen was incoherent with excitement. "Carol, did you already know this was going to happen?" After her meeting, Gwen had rushed to log into her Facebook account, planni

Caroline called Gwen insane in response to her claims before hanging up the phone. Just as she put down her phone, she got another call from an unknown number. She answered the call after a moment's hesitation. "Hello?""Hello. Is this Caroline Evans?""Yes.""I'm Jules Hawkins, the newly appointed CEO of Thorne Industries. First, I hope you accept our sincerest apologies for our major mistake during the judging process." The CEO himself had apologized to her. Their standards were high."It's all good as long as the truth is out.""Thank you for your understanding," Jules said in a charming voice. "After some discussion, our company has unanimously decided that you're both the winner and the runner-up of this competition. So, you'll get the winnings and prizes for both places. "Just as we'd announced, there's a special bonus for the winner: a lifetime contract as the design director at our company. Are you interested in our offer, Ms. Evans?"Caroline's breath got caught.

"Damn, they're giving Caroline tons of privileges, aren't they?" "The first thing a large company like them did was welcome the design director. Oh my God. I'm starting to doubt the things I see on the internet." "The boss of this company is allegedly Mr. Eddy's second uncle. If Mr. Eddy and Caroline have broken up, there's no way his second uncle would give her such a big privilege, right?" "Exactly. That's why I'm doubting the authenticity of this post." The netizens were eating up the gossip from this particular post like a buffet. However, it caused an uproar among the upper-class citizens, especially the big four families, who had been kept in the dark about this.The company merger proved that Eddy's second uncle had already infiltrated Easton's market. However, none of them had noticed anything before this. Furthermore, the quick change in public opinion made them even more uncertain about whether Caroline would marry into the Morrison family. Another shocking thi

Although Layla was unwilling to do it, she had to put on an act for Eddy. Besides, she was sure that Caroline would mock her. When that happened, she could put on a miserable face and shift the blame on Caroline, killing two birds with one stone.Layla opened her private message with Caroline, only to find that she wasn't on Caroline's contact list. She tried calling Caroline, but she'd also blocked her number. She sniffled, looking at Eddy helplessly. She said, "Caroline must be mad at me. She blocked my number on everything. Can you lend me your phone, Ed?"Eddy took out his phone and handed it to Layla.Layla opened Eddy's list of contacts and called Caroline, but no one answered. Then, she tried to contact Caroline through WhatsApp. Only then did Eddy realize that Caroline had blocked him as well. "She removed my number on WhatsApp too."Layla noticed it as well. She saw the prompt on the screen saying that Eddy's number wasn't on Caroline's contact list. She also saw t

"Are you—""Carol!" Before Caroline finished her question, she heard Gwen's excited voice. Caroline looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing Gwen getting out of Sean's car, she asked, "Did you both come here together?""Yeah," Sean answered. "Congratulations, Ms. Evans."Caroline gave Gwen a vague glance and said to Sean, "Thank you, Dr. Yates, but you don't have to be so formal. Just call me Carrie from now on.""Carrie?" Kirk hummed from the side.After glancing at Kirk, Sean said, "I'd better call you Caroline. You don't have to be formal, either. You can just call me Sean.""Okay."As they talked, the four of them sat at a table. From time to time, Kirk would look down at his stool.Noticing his actions, Caroline asked, "What's wrong?"Kirk had been acting weird from the moment they'd arrived at the restaurant. Sean joked, saying, "Just ignore him. A rich man like him is lowering his dignity to dine in this open-air barbecue restaurant. It's normal for him to be un
