"Did he sign the agreement?" Kirk asked. Charles snapped out of his thoughts, nodding. "Yes, the moment they were saved, they signed it."The man was probably afraid that Eddy would threaten his family and children again in his anger, so he quickly sold his shares. In any case, the money he got from the shares would be more than enough for them for generations to come."However, even though the agreement was signed, SY Group has some difficulties from the significant loss of cash flow, plus …"Charles glanced at Kirk before saying, "Eddy must've known about this. He's trying to work with other companies to bring SY down." Kirk closed his eyes, not sure what to say.After a moment, he opened his eyes and replied calmly, "Sell SY." Charles thought he had misheard. "Surely you're joking, sir." "When have I ever joked with you?" Kirk stared at the ceiling, his tone heavy. "But, that's such a big decision …" "I've been thinking it over," Kirk replied indifferently. "From n
Kirk's smile grew bigger. "I'm fine." With that, a passionate kiss landed on Caroline's lips. The long-forgotten feeling overwhelmed her, and her hands grew weak. In the end, she could only rest gently against Kirk as she endured the overwhelming passion. The silence in the quiet ward was gradually replaced by other sounds.…Meanwhile, Cheryl had just arrived at Hackett Residence. However, having lost her courage, she stood at the door, gazing at the towering building."Cheryl," Jack spoke up, noticing her hesitation. "If you don't feel comfortable going in, let's head back. I don't think Mrs. Morrison would blame you."She took a deep breath, looking at the Hacketts' main door again. "Caroline wouldn't blame me, but I want to do this for her. So I'm going in."With that, she rang the doorbell. The maids inside learned it was Cheryl and hurriedly went to inform the Hacketts. When they heard of her presence, they personally ran to the door to welcome her."Cheryl! Why are you
A full 20% of shares at that? "Impossible! That is simply impossible!" Aiden muttered as if hypnotized. "Oh, Cheryl, it's not that I don't believe you, but this … it's unbelievable!"As far as I know, the CEO of SY is Mr. Eddy's second uncle. As his second uncle, how could he possibly acquire the shares of Morrison Company? Moreover, the Morrisons aren't people who would ever sell their shares!"Only a fool would do such a thing. Holding even a mere 20% of the Morrisons' shares meant having a perpetual source of wealth."That's because you don't know two things.""What is it?" "One, the CEO of SY is Caroline's husband." The cup in Aiden's hand was shattered into pieces. Cheryl watched him quietly.After more than a minute, he finally regained his voice. "What did you say? The CEO of SY is Caroline's husband?" "Yes." Cheryl looked at him calmly, well aware of his emotions. When she found out that Kirk was the CEO of SY, she was equally shocked. After a moment, Aiden was s
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Selena asked anxiously. After a while, Aiden looked up slowly. His gray eyes were dull and dark. "We … We've offended the wrong people. Whether Hackett Group can survive this wave and stand strong is the big question." Selena was utterly confused.…Jack noticed Cheryl's gloominess and silence as they sat in the car. He said, "When I was talking to Mrs. Hackett Senior just now, I could tell she really hopes you will go back to them.""Isn't that how mothers are?" Cheryl asked, looking away. "But the Hacketts aren't controlled by her alone." Whether she could go back depended on the entire family's decision. However, for her, it didn't matter. What mattered to her was whether she could help Caroline or not. Jack looked ahead. "In that case, let's not think about these things. Let's eat. After eating, I'll take you back to the office. How does that sound?"Cheryl tilted her head and nodded as she looked at him. "I think that's a great i
"Aunt Mary!" Caroline smiled and hugged her. "Those things are all in the past. Look at me now. Am I not doing well?"Marietta looked at her bright smile and sniffled. Her eyes teared up again. "You … this child …" "It's alright, Aunt Mary," Caroline said, comforting her as she wiped her tears away. "This time, I'll be more careful in helping you find your daughter. Trust me, you will find your daughter!"Marietta nodded and smiled. She said, "I'm not insisting on finding her now. I'll be very lucky if I do. And if I can't find her, we're just destined to be separated in this life."Caroline squeezed her hand. "Aunt Mary, please don't think that way. I have a feeling that you will find your daughter!""Yes, yes," Betty chimed in. "You don't have to be so pessimistic, Marietta. If we can't find her this time, we'll continue looking. There are so many of us, so why wouldn't we be able to find her?"Marietta looked at the two women, her eyes welling up with emotion. She hugged Caro
The room fell silent again. Kirk wasn't much of a talker. Betty and Marietta also didn't have much in common with him, so the atmosphere in the room quickly fell flat. Marietta racked her brains and finally came up with a topic. "It seems like Caroline still doesn't know your true identity. When do you plan to tell her the truth?"When Caroline was mentioned, Kirk immediately seemed like a different person. "I haven't figured out how to tell her yet. I think, given the current situation, it's best not to tell her.""Indeed," Betty agreed. "I think Caroline is in the best state now. She's forgotten that Mr. Morrison Senior had sacrificed himself for her and your identity as well."She continued, "I feel like if she finds out who you are, she'll blame herself for his death.""Yes, I think so too," Marietta said with a frown. "I guess things will go back to where they were. Everything is quite alright now."Everyone in the room shared the same thought. When they heard footsteps out
A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead. Kirk's eyes were fixed nervously on Caroline. "Caroline, what do you mean by that?" he asked. "Oh, nothing much." Caroline blinked, and the intensity of the pounding headache seemed to subside. She added, "I just think you're amazing. You seem to be able to handle anything. Plus, with Eddy targeting you so much, you must be someone powerful, right?"Kirk slowly let out a breath. "You really don't mean anything else?" His eyes hadn't moved an inch away from hers."What's wrong with you?" Caroline asked, puzzled. "It's just a casual question, but it made you so nervous. You're not hiding anything from me, right?"Eddy being so against Kirk was already strange to her. Now, with Kirk's reaction, it made her feel like there was something she didn't know.He smiled, holding her hand. After making sure she was calm, he said, "No, I have nothing to hide from you.""That's good." Caroline hugged him. "I'm telling you, if there's something you'r
After giving it much thought, Asher made up his mind to stay away from the dispute. "Do you think it's possible?" Eddy glared at him coldly. "There's no turning back, Asher. Since you've started working with me, do you really think there's a way out?" "But, Mr. Eddy, we … The Hacketts didn't have the funds or capability to deal with Evans Group. "At this point, although the Evanses have suffered losses, the losses the Hacketts have suffered are even worse. If this continues, both our families will be mutually destroyed.""With Morrison Corporation backing you, what are you afraid of?" Eddy asked. Asher looked at him bravely and said, "But Evans Group has SY Group as their support." Eddy's expression changed instantly. "How do you know that?" Asher lowered his head, unsure of how to respond.Eddy chuckled and instantly returned to his cold demeanor after a moment of anger. "That's right," he said. "Evans Group has SY Group to support them. But don't forget, in Kirk's eye
