It struck Willow that Aiden and Selena might actually be Cheryl's biological parents. She knew at first glance that they were filthy rich. But then she remembered that Aurora could produce a hundred thousand dollars just like that. Suddenly, she felt extremely annoyed. She didn't feel like apologizing anymore and simply turned to leave. A while later, Cheryl realized that Willow had left. Confused, she uttered, "That's strange. Where did my mom go?" Caroline had seen Willow leave some time ago and had noticed that the latter had seemed rather despondent. She looked like she had just lost a million-dollar cash prize. Frowning, Caroline said, "Don't bother. Now that she's gone, you can relax for a few days." Cheryl nodded and chirped, "You're right." Indeed, she had been in quite a predicament for the past few days, and it was all because of Willow. "Let's go," Caroline said, heading straight to the office with Cheryl following closely behind her. The two of them parted
After contemplating it for a while, Caroline asked the staff to hand the phone back to her manager. "Don't come back to the office yet. I'll find a way to settle things," she said. Then, she hung up right after that. It went without saying that Eddy was the one behind this. Since Hackett Group had stopped Caroline from shipping her products once before, Asher must have also been involved in this.Caroline thought of Cheryl all of a sudden. If she asked Cheryl for help …She dismissed the thought almost immediately. Cheryl probably didn't know that she wasn't Willow's biological daughter yet.Cheryl had only just started to calm down after the recent events. So if Caroline revealed this to her, she would definitely be distressed all over again.Besides, even if Cheryl learned her true identity and talked to Asher in person, he might still not agree to cooperate with Caroline.In the end, Caroline thought it was best not to interfere in the matter regarding Cheryl's parents. Thi
Caroline smiled. "As long as you let my products pass," she said. "Okay. I'll consider it then," Asher said. He ended the call, his mind and heart a mess. Caroline smiled with her phone in one hand. She knew that Asher had cooperated with Eddy solely for profit. Based on her observations, Asher had gained nothing from dealing with her company this whole time. That was why she was willing to use such a huge bait to make him give up working with the Morrisons. But she also knew that he wouldn't accept her offer so easily. It would take some kind of external pressure for him to realize that working with Eddy wouldn't benefit him and make him accept her offer. However, Caroline still needed to figure out who she could rely on to pressure Asher into that. As things stood now, there was no way her products could pass through Huldren. So she could only ask her manager to handle the shipment and get some rest somewhere with the truck drivers. How great would it be if she had a
The coolness of the silver mask combined with the warmth of the sudden kiss made Caroline's heart beat faster.When Kirk finally let go of her, he saw her eyes sparkling as she looked into his. Her stare made his heart race, and something in him stirred uncontrollably. She stared longingly at him and muttered, "Why don't you stay for the night?" Her voice was so sweet and delicate that he couldn't find it in him to refuse her. A sheen of red crept up her cheeks, and she turned away from him. She didn't have the courage to see how he would react. Seeing her blush, Kirk was on the verge of agreeing to her request. At the very last moment, rationality pulled him back and stopped him from accepting her invitation. "No." The shy look on Caroline's face faltered. A brief moment later, she pushed him and leaned against him, asking, "Why?"Kirk swallowed. He could already feel beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He could also feel his sense of reason gradually slipping away
Caroline had taken a lot of time looking at her reflection in the mirror after putting on the pajamas. She thought that her figure was good enough. She wasn't too skinny or too plump. Why wouldn't Kirk just …The longer she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She was so pissed that she wanted to strangle Kirk with her bare hands. Kirk, on the other hand, realized that he wasn't hallucinating. Caroline was indeed in the room, so he had no choice but to maintain some distance between the two of them. "Caroline, it's not that I don't like you," he said. "Why won't you just … just … " Caroline couldn't finish her sentence. She was so frustrated that she was on the brink of tearing up. She hadn't been this upset even when Eddy had caused her so much trouble. But now, though …The thing Kirk feared the most was Caroline's tears. Her tears made him forget everything on his mind, and he rushed forth to pull her into an embrace. "Don't cry," he coaxed. "It's not yo
"It's something very simple," said Caroline awkwardly. Her answer made Cheryl even more confused. After all, Kirk would agree to it if it was as simple as Caroline described. "What exactly is it, then?" Cheryl asked.Her gaze was so innocent that Caroline knew she wasn't pretending to be clueless. Cheryl was earnestly trying to help her solve her problem with Kirk. Helpless, Caroline sighed and said, "You know that Kirk and I sleep in different rooms, right?" Cheryl nodded. Of course, she knew about that. "I don't want that anymore," said Caroline. "Do you get what I mean?"Cheryl's cheeks turned bright red. She lowered her head as she looked at the ground."I see," she said. "But why did he still not …"Her voice faltered, and her cheeks were red from how hard she was blushing. But they both understood what she meant. Although she and Jack were together now, they had only gone as far as holding hands. "Who knows?" said Caroline helplessly as she wiped her hands dry.
Caroline looked at Cheryl beside her. Cheryl's face said it all. She lowered her voice and said, "What are the odds?"They had come to the mall just opposite their office. What kind of luck was this that they had run into Aurora here?Caroline remained calm and composed as she pointed at one of the watches on display and said, "I want this. Wrap it up for me, will you?" "Okay," said the staff. Knowing that Caroline was Evans Group's CEO, she wasted no time and got to work immediately. After taking the watch out of the display case and wrapping it up, she handed it over to Cheryl. Cheryl took the watch from the staff and asked Caroline, "Let's go?" Caroline nodded in agreement and walked out of the store with Cheryl beside her. They had to walk past the jewelry store because it was next door. Caroline didn't want to see Aurora's face, but fate had other plans for her. In truth, Aurora had come here on purpose because she wanted to meet Caroline. Now that Caroline had com
Cheryl looked nervously at Caroline, her face paling after seeing the look on Caroline's face. An ominous feeling washed over her, and she rushed forth to support Caroline. "Don't listen to that nonsense! Let's go!" she said. Gritting her teeth, Caroline summoned all her strength to stop herself from passing out. "What did you say?" she asked. Aurora misunderstood Caroline's reaction and thought that she had succeeded in triggering Caroline. Feeling satisfied, she repeated after herself, "I said that your wedding wasn't even grand in the least—"Aurora hadn't even managed to finish her sentence when Cheryl slapped her across the face. "Shut up, you!" Cheryl warned. Horror-stricken, Aurora, who had never in her life been slapped, could only stare in surprise at Cheryl. "How dare you?" she screeched and dashed in Cheryl's direction, ready to tear the latter apart. At that moment, she had totally forgotten that Cheryl was her sister-in-law-to-be.Cheryl herself was n
