"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

Cheryl looked at Caroline with a meaningful glance again. She began to tear up once more, so she hastily said, "Um … I won't delay you from working any longer. Bye.""Okay. Let me see you off," said Caroline. "Don't." Cheryl shook her head lightly. "I want to leave the company like I always do, like I'm getting off work on a normal day. As if I'll still come back here tomorrow after I clock out today." Caroline's face fell. A while later, she said, "Okay. Go ahead." Cheryl got out of the office and walked to the elevator as usual. She went downstairs and headed to the punch clock. She clocked out, placed the card aside, and left. The rays of the setting sun shone on her when she stepped out of the building, but she felt no warmth from them. The next instant, she saw the car parked in front of the building. The person standing beside the car was none other than Jack. "Tired, huh?" Jack reached out one hand to her as he approached her. Cheryl stared at him for some time

Cheryl laughed. "You're so childish!" she teased. Despite her words, she stuck out her little finger and made a pinky promise to Jack. When their thumbs pressed against each other, she suddenly thought that maybe the future wouldn't be that bad after all. At the very least, she would always have Jack. …Caroline sat in Cheryl's office until it was time to get off work. Her assistant entered the room and asked, "Ms. Evans, Ms. Hackett's resigned. Should we tidy up the place for the next—""That's not necessary. Just clear out another office when the new one comes. We'll keep this office as is." "Wouldn't it be a waste, though?" the assistant asked gingerly. "Are you saying that I don't have the power to decide how a room should be left now?" Caroline snapped. The assistant paled. "N-No! That's not what I meant. I'll go and tell the cleaners about this then." That said, she walked out of the room in haste. Since Caroline wasn't in a good mood right now, the best optio

"I heard that the Hacketts are going to hold a banquet for Cheryl to welcome her back home. It's said to be held in three days' time. Is it true?""Of course it is! I heard that all the members of the big four families have received invitations for the banquet.""Hackett Group and Evans Group were enemies before this. Will Caroline attend it?""She probably will. Didn't Cheryl work at Evans Group before this? Besides, the Hacketts have promised that they won't make things tough for Evans Group anymore." "Who knows? We'll get our answers on the day of the banquet." …At the Hacketts' residence, Cheryl was occupied with checking the invitations."Have we sent one to Eddy Morrison?" she asked. One day ago, Kirk had called her and specifically asked her to make sure that Eddy would attend the banquet. Although she wasn't sure what Kirk was up to, she knew that he wanted to teach Eddy a lesson. The maid in charge of the invites replied, "We sent it to him a couple of days ago

Soon, Kirk and Caroline met up with Thomas. When he saw the two of them, his eyes turned bloodshot from the rage boiling within him. "You won!" He spat with so much force that it seemed like he had used up all his strength for it. "Things didn't have to come to this," Kirk said calmly as he sat down beside Thomas. Thomas snorted derisively. "Oh really? If you hadn't chosen to marry Caroline at such short notice, do you think Eddy would have died? You two were the cause of the tragedy!" Caroline didn't feel like talking anymore after seeing how foolishly adamant Thomas was. She gave Kirk a look, and he hummed in acknowledgment. When he turned to face Thomas again, his eyes were frosty "I'm here to tell you something," he said.Thomas let out a bark of scornful laughter. "Why? What else do you have to tell me, huh? Are you going to tell me that you have a child now?" "It's not about me and Caroline's child. It's about yours," Kirk stated plainly as he stared at Thomas

"Yes, it's true! Why would I lie to you about something so important?" Betty said. "This is wonderful! Marietta's wish has finally come true." Caroline turned to look at Marietta, who had just stopped by the door. Marietta was so shocked by the results that she was too stunned to speak. All she did was stare at Caroline in silence. Caroline opened her lips to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. She and Marietta stood facing each other, tears streaming down their cheeks. The next second, the two of them rushed toward each other and hugged each other as tightly as they could. The words that were at the tip of their tongues turned into tears at this significant moment. The others felt touched as they witnessed the mother-daughter duo's reunion. After some time, Betty broke the silence. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her 'Mom'!"Caroline had once used that word to address Marietta, but she hadn't known that Marietta was her biological mother back then.

Blushing, Caroline nodded. However, Kirk couldn't lift his head due to his injuries. So, Caroline took the initiative to bend over so that she was closer to him. Their lips touched. Yet before Caroline could get that warm, fuzzy feeling she always had when they kissed, she heard Gwen's voice. "Oh? Did we come at the wrong time?" Gwen grinned.It gave Caroline such a shock that she almost fell to the ground. Cheryl reacted quickly and gave Caroline an arm to hold on to for support. Steadying herself, Caroline stared daggers at Gwen, who giggled and placed the supplements she had brought on a table. Sean and Kirk started discussing what had happened that day, while Caroline led Gwen and Cheryl out of the ward. "Are you two back together?" Gwen asked. There was a sparkle in her eyes, which said enough about how eager she was to gossip. When Caroline nodded, Gwen patted her back gleefully and said, "Great! We all know how much Kirk loves you, even though he kept his ident

As Caroline mentally prepared to face death, there was a sudden, loud commotion. The noise was followed by gusts of wind that were so strong that no one could pry their eyes open to see what was going on. Still, Caroline could make out the silhouette of a helicopter above her. She had no idea what had happened next, though. …When she woke up, she was already lying on a bed in a ward. Beside her were Betty and Marietta, their eyes red and puffy from crying. When they noticed that Caroline was awake, the two of them shot up from their chairs."Carrie? You're finally awake!" Still groggy, Caroline forced herself to hum in response. After getting up, she grabbed Betty's hand and said, "Where's Kirk?" "He's fine," said Betty while wiping the tears off her cheeks. "He's in another ward, but he hasn't woken up yet." "Can I see him?" Caroline asked, tearing up. Betty nodded and asked Sean to push Caroline's wheelchair to the ward next door. Caroline couldn't hold back her

Kirk and Caroline hadn't even caught their breaths yet when they sensed a more intense attack coming their way. It didn't seem like these people were human. They seemed like monsters, bringing destruction wherever they went. Caroline watched the situation outside in concern. "Why hasn't Nightshade come back yet? Did he lie to us?" she asked. Kirk gritted his teeth and replied, "No, he wouldn't. They're all people from the dark web, and they're all honorable. Since he promised to bring the top two assassins, he'll definitely come back."As he spoke, he pushed her into a car. "But before that, you have to leave first," he insisted.Caroline noticed that his words were only directed at her. She grabbed his hand tightly. "What do you mean by that?"What did he mean she had to leave first?He replied, "Finn has sent over all his trump cards. If you don't leave, I have no doubt that he'll come here too. So, you need to leave now!" Caroline grabbed his hand. "We haven't gone to Ci

When she saw his reaction, Caroline couldn't help but smile. "What I mean is, let's head to City Hall to re-register our marriage certificate. The information we used to register our marriage before was all fake. "Can we update it with the real information now?"Kirk brightened up. "No problem."She looked at him and smiled again. However, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "Oh, I forgot about Thomas. Do you think he'll send someone to ambush us when we go to City Hall?"Kirk fell silent. He didn't want to change the plans, but he still said, "Then, let's wait for Nightshade to find the assassins—"Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out from downstairs. His face dropped, and he rushed to the window, where he saw two groups of people engaged in a gunfight. One of the groups was Thomas' men."What's going on?" Caroline asked as she got up from bed."Thomas must have found out that Nightshade left, so he took the chance to ambush us."Kirk led her to a

"If you make up with Kirk, I'll help you find them both."Caroline and Kirk were stunned to hear Nightshade's condition. Kirk had never expected Nightshade to say such a thing. Caroline was also in disbelief. She felt somewhat reluctant to agree to it."You don't agree?" Nightshade asked when Caroline remained silent. "Alright then, if you disagree, I won't look for them. Besides, Thomas is already planning to go all out against you. "When the time comes, I can escape. But what about you two?"Caroline looked at Kirk. "Thomas plans to go all out against us? You're not lying to me?"Kirk met her eyes and gulped. "No."She pondered for a moment, then looked at Nightshade again. "Do you really have a way to help us find the two assassins?""Of course.""Okay." Caroline lowered her head. "As long as you can help us find those two assassins, I'll agree to your condition."On the other side of the room, Betty and Marietta exclaimed excitedly when they heard her words. "Carrie, do

When Betty noticed how confused everyone looked, she said, "Oh, dear. Did you all forget?"Back then, when Marietta did the DNA test with that girl from the Hackett family—no, the fake Ms. Hackett—Caroline was the one who went to the restaurant with her."She continued, "Didn't we look through the footage from that day? Then, we called in the people who were at the restaurant that day to do another DNA test."Although they had unfortunately been unable to find Marietta's daughter, Betty still considered it a great effort. "We had thought that we had tested everyone. But there was someone who we didn't test!" Betty's eyes lit up as she looked at Caroline. Marietta immediately understood what she meant. She looked at Caroline with excitement, but she didn't dare to get her hopes up. "Caroline…"Caroline also looked at Marietta excitedly. "I… Aunt Mary… this… Is it possible?"Betty replied, "Why wouldn't it be possible? We tested so many people back then, and you were the only

Sarah was about to tell Caroline, but Dan stopped her."Don't tell her. Let her live in pain without ever knowing who her real parents are. Besides, do you really think she will get us the best lawyer?"Caroline wasn't upset that they hadn't taken the bait. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face. "You still have some sanity left."Upon realizing her trick, Sarah shouted angrily, "You liar!"However, she was taken away before she could shout more. Caroline watched as Sarah and Dan disappeared in the police cars. The feigned strength on her face finally disappeared. She might never find her parents in this life. But she didn't regret it. She tilted her head and glanced at Kirk, Cheryl, and Jack beside her. She had no regrets anymore.Even though she couldn't get her parents back, she was content that she had so many friends."Let's head back." Caroline's voice was weary. She needed a good rest, but there was still a tough battle waiting for her. The news about Caroline n
