"If you have any questions, just ask me directly." Ferdinand looked at Kirk's face and felt suffocated by the latter's intimidating look. He didn't dare to speak. "If there isn't a problem, then we'll leave." With that, Kirk took Caroline away. Ferdinand looked at her back and shivered. He had a feeling that he couldn't stay at Evans Group any longer. As he thought of this, he didn't return to the dinner table. Instead, he hastily went downstairs. Just as he reached the ground floor, he was stopped."Are you Mr. Lancaster?" "What do you want?"Ferdinand looked at the person in front of him nervously. He had only recognized Kirk's true identity. Did these people want to silence him by getting rid of him?"Don't be nervous," Charles said with a smile. "It's just that our boss has a few things to explain to you." He hooked his arm around Ferdinand's and took him straight to the car.Ferdinand let out a scream, but then there was silence. Upstairs, Sean came up to Kirk wit

"But I don't think killing him would be that simple. First off, he's leading the Morrisons now, so if he dies suddenly, it will undoubtedly cause an uproar. And if they trace it back to you …" Sean trailed off."Even if they don't find anything on you, Eddy was obsessing over Caroline a while ago. If he dies, the first person everyone would suspect is her," Sean tried to reason with him.Seeing that Kirk remained silent, he continued, "Secondly, Thomas wouldn't let his precious son die at your hands. He will definitely use all of the Morrisons' guards to keep an eye on Eddy. "Besides, once the Shadowers move to Easton, it will take some time for them to adapt. In short, trying to kill Eddy in such a short period of time is just wishful thinking.""Definitely." Kirk was well aware of the situation. "But the first issue isn't a big problem. The real tricky thing is the second issue. We'll need a plan to kill Eddy. What I lack now is opportunity. Once there's an opportunity, I'll d

Kirk stood still as he stared at Caroline's figure from behind. Caroline had only taken two steps when she turned to look back at him. "Why aren't you coming? Do you want to stay here?" she asked. "Caroline …" Kirk started, looking rather worried. Caroline threw him a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you about it since you said I shouldn't know about it." She continued, "I'm not interested in your identity in the least. Otherwise, I would have asked that employee where he had seen you before instead of letting him go." Kirk felt himself relax at her words. "You think things are fine now, and although I don't think so, I know that the peace we share now might get disrupted if I learn of your identity. So I'd rather maintain things as they are, even though I don't like it." The worry in Kirk's heart vanished after hearing what she said. "Caroline—""Alright. Let's leave," she told him. Caroline glanced at Cheryl, who was surrounded by staff like locusts, and s

"Nothing," said Kirk with a soft smile on his lips. It was just that his time had come. Caroline stared at him for a while before turning to face Sean and Gwen. "We're leaving then. See you tomorrow," she said. "See you," said Sean and Gwen in unison.The four of them waved goodbye and left.…Cheryl was the last person to leave the restaurant that night. When she arrived at the company the next day, she still hadn't recovered from her daze. "Caroline, how could you leave me just like that yesterday?" She pouted as she sat in Caroline's office.She made it a point to point out their "crimes" as she took a sip of water from the glass in her hand. "Those people wouldn't have let you go after learning that you're Mr. Hackett Senior's daughter anyway," Caroline said. Cheryl's face dropped when the Hacketts were brought up. "What's wrong? Did he come and see you?" Caroline asked.Cheryl nodded. "My agreement with the Hacketts was that I would go back to their house if they

"Do you have nothing to do?" asked Caroline.Her sudden appearance successfully stopped the crowd from continuing their gossip about Cheryl. All the staff members lowered their heads and continued working. Caroline gazed in the direction of Cheryl's office. She averted her gaze a bit later and returned to her own office. …In Cheryl's office, Aiden sat with a glass of water in one hand. He thought of himself as a person who could talk endlessly to just about anyone for hours. But now he didn't know what he should say as he sat in front of his daughter. The one thing he felt strongly about was that he owed her a lot for the past 20 years. Eventually, he broke the silence and asked, "What do you think of the matter that we discussed yesterday?"Cheryl looked at him calmly. She was very much at peace with herself now that she had accepted her fate. "I've made my decision. I'll keep my promise to return to your family," she said. Keeping her promise … Aiden's smile faltered

The person on the other end of the line was Kirk. It came as a surprise to Cheryl, making her freeze. She wondered if she had picked up the wrong phone. After all, Kirk had never called her before this. "Cheryl? Are you listening?" he asked. There was no mistaking that voice. Cheryl was sure that she hadn't gotten it wrong. Kirk called her using Jack's phone. "U-Um, is something the matter?""Aiden went to see you, right? Have you decided to return to the Hackett family?" he asked. It was no surprise that Kirk had learned of this, so Cheryl replied, "Yes. Is there something you need me to do?" This thought automatically popped into her mind, and she voiced it out right away. The corners of Kirk's mouth tilted upward at her question. "They must've said that they wanted to host a banquet for you, right?" Cheryl couldn't help but admire Kirk for his foresight.She said, "Yeah. They intend to do just that, but I'm against it. I'm not close to anyone in the family, and

What was Kirk trying to do?"What else did he ask you to do?" asked Caroline, pressing one hand against her chest. She had a bad feeling about this. "Nothing." Cheryl shook her head. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Caroline, was I wrong to agree to his request?"Caroline's mind was a jumbled mess now, but she held on to the edge of the table and said, "I'm sure he has his reasons for asking you to do that. But he won't tell me why, even if I ask him.""Well then …""Just do what he says," Caroline said. "Tell me if he contacts you again." "Okay," said Cheryl. "I'll head back to my office then." "Go ahead."After Cheryl left, Caroline took her phone and stared at it for a long, long time. She resisted the urge to call Kirk and ask him what he was trying to do. …After concluding the discussion about the banquet, Aiden brought up the matter of Cheryl's resignation. "Cheryl, I know that you and Caroline are close," he started. "But you're a Hackett. It'll be wei

The distance from the elevator to Caroline's office was short, but it took Cheryl five whole minutes to get there. When she finally placed her hand on the doorknob, she was so overwhelmed with emotions that she was on the verge of breaking down. "Is that you, Cheryl?" Caroline heard someone outside and raised her head to look at the door. Cheryl recomposed herself, straightened her back, and replied, "Yes."Caroline's assistant, who had just finished preparing coffee and was standing by the door, looked at Cheryl with puzzled eyes. Cheryl stood stock-still at the door without moving an inch. She glanced at the cup of coffee, which had steam rising from it. "Give it to me," said Cheryl. The assistant stared at Cheryl in confusion for a brief moment before handing her the tray. After picking it up, Cheryl walked into Caroline's office. "Caroline," she said as she placed the coffee on Caroline's table. "I remember preparing coffee for you when we worked at Thorne Corp be
