"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
Kirk! That damned Kirk Morrison! This must be his doing! Besides him, Eddy couldn't think of anyone else.No wonder Simon warned him that it wasn't Kirk's acquisition of shares that was frightening. What was frightening would be him using the opportunity to tear open a hole. Now, Kirk had definitely torn open an irredeemable hole in Morrison Corporation. Eddy grabbed his phone and called Kirk. As if waiting for his call, Kirk picked up the call immediately."It was you, right?" Eddy roared into the phone. He could never stay calm in front of Kirk. However, Kirk was the opposite of him—he never seemed to be angered. It was only in matters concerning Caroline that he seemed to lose control.He neither admitted nor denied it, which fueled Eddy's anger even more. "I know it was you, Kirk!" Eddy shouted. "What you're doing is simply hurting yourself to harm your enemies! Don't forget, you still have 20% in the company!"Kirk let out a light chuckle, a laugh that seemed to mock E
After the phone call, Richard knocked on the door and entered. "Mr. Eddy, something bad happened." "What's going on now?" Eddy felt like he was being put to the test. "Several of the company's contracts have been leaked. I've already made the calculations, and the loss would cost us tens of millions of dollars!" Eddy narrowed his eyes. Kirk was retaliating against him! "You useless fools! You can't even prevent data leaks?"As Richard faced Eddy's wrath, he replied, "Mr. Eddy, our computers were invaded with the virus. Right now, it's like we're transparent. They can get whatever data they want, and we can't stop it."Before he could say more, the head of the cybersecurity department, David Sullivan, showed up. In a state of panic, he ran in so quickly that he forgot to knock on the door. "Mr. Eddy, look."David placed a laptop in front of Eddy. A word flashed continuously on the dark screen. "Stop!"Eddy immediately knew what it meant. It was a demand for him to stop tar
Thomas' silence spoke volumes. It gave Eddy his answer. He lit a cigarette defeatedly. "So in your eyes, I'm inferior to him. No wonder Caroline would rather choose him over me.""This isn't your fault." Thomas sighed helplessly. "The fact that he could turn a small business into the largest company in Sarcozia is enough to prove his talent. Such an ability is a gift from God."If those of us without talent insist on comparing ourselves with people who do, we would just be humiliating ourselves. So when I found out that he was coming back to Easton, I did everything to stop him."Eddy narrowed his eyes. "So you planned the car accident?"Thomas' tone remained the same. "Yes, thanks to our family's reputation in Easton, Kirk never found out it was me. But it doesn't matter whether he finds out or not now."He glanced at his phone. "Son, just give up. Many girls in the world are better than Caroline. Once you give up on her and talk to Kirk, we can all move on peacefully.""Dad,
"No strangers are allowed to approach Caroline." Charles replied in confusion."Basically, anyone with ill intentions isn't allowed near Caroline."Charles tried to read between the lines in Kirk's short words. When he realized that he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, he decided to just ask Kirk. "Sir, did something happen?" Kirk rubbed his temples. "Eddy found out.""Found what out?" Charles wondered. "He found out …" Kirk's voice gradually softened. "He found out that Caroline still doesn't know who I am."Charles immediately understood. "Are you worried that he'll use it against you and tell Mrs. Morrison so that she has another meltdown?" "Yeah." "He probably wouldn't, right? Especially not when the Morrison Corporation is facing such a big problem. "He wouldn't cause such big trouble for Mrs. Morrison, would he? Would he give up on the company?"Kirk rubbed his temple. He was mad, but Eddy was also mad. Since they were both mad, one madman wouldn't know wha
