"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

    At Morrison Manor, Simon knocked on the door and entered the room. "Mr. Morrison, Mr. Eddy, the Hacketts called us again. They're asking if Mr. Eddy will attend the banquet for Ms. Cheryl." Eddy scoffed. "They called us again? Weren't they rude enough to stop working with us all of a sudden?" Thomas said, "It's always been nothing more than mutual cooperation between us and the Hacketts. But they betrayed us by chickening out so suddenly."He continued, "If we attend their banquet, it will only seem like we're the ones who fear them. I don't think you should attend it this time." "Why not?" Eddy didn't agree. "The Hacketts must have invited Caroline. This is a golden opportunity for me to see her. Why shouldn't I attend it?" This made Thomas frown in displeasure. "Eddy, didn't I tell you to let go of her? It does you no good to keep on thinking about her." "You want me to give up on her just like this? No. I want to tell her in person that the man she loves is a coward who w

    "Got it," said Simon. He left the room to do what he was told. …Soon after that, the Hacketts received news that Eddy would attend the banquet. Cheryl told Kirk about it too. "It seems like Eddy's made up his mind. He's not giving up any chance to see Caroline," said Kirk. Sean stared at him for a while before saying, "Is he going to tell Caroline your identity during the banquet?"Kirk's face was as impassive as ever as he glanced at the map in front of him. There was a tiny red circle on it. Someone had drawn it there. Sean looked at the spot that was circled and realized that it was a place called 'Royals Tomb'. He took a sharp intake of breath. "Your plan … Is it completed?" After a while, Kirk finally raised his eyes to meet Sean's. "Yes. Everything's in place. Three days later, I'll end things with Eddy once and for all." Sean regarded Kirk with worried eyes, but he swallowed his words. Instead of providing words of concern, he simply smiled and said, "I've go

    "Why won't you let me say hi to her?" Gwen asked, watching Cheryl enter the mall with a few other women. "Forget it. It doesn't matter," said Caroline. "See those women with her just now? They're all from the Hackett family, and all of them are powerful figures. What would they think if we approached Cheryl just to say hi?" She continued, "She's in the spotlight, so she has to be careful with everything she does. We shouldn't cause her any trouble. Besides, we'll get to see her in three days. There's no need to rush." "Fine," Gwen relented. "I would have hugged her already if it hadn't been for them. Look at how skinny she looks! I bet she's not happy living with the Hacketts." Caroline glanced in the direction where they had seen Cheryl. No one was there anymore, so she looked away. "What about us? Should we go shopping at this mall too?""Why not? I haven't prepared a gift for Cheryl," said Caroline. "Let's go." With that, the two of them went into the mall. It was so

    The clothes were either too childish or too mature."Thank you. I still think this suits me better." Cheryl rejected everyone's deceptive suggestions and walked over to an aqua dress.This dress had gentle colors and didn't appear too inappropriate. However, it was so plain that it downplayed her brilliance as the lady of the hour. But it also wasn't so showy that it outshone the brilliance of the other members of the Hackett family."I'd like to try this one," Cheryl told the saleswoman.The saleswoman glanced at the manager. Seeing that the manager didn't nod, the clerk dared not take matters into her own hands. The manager acted based on the mood of the women in the Hackett family. These ladies were all regular customers. The manager knew everything about them.When he saw the dresses they showed to Cheryl, he could tell they were trying to embarrass her. Hence, he couldn't decide what to do. He could only look at Theodora Langley, the most distinguished woman of the bunch.

    Caroline smiled lightly. "Cheryl is my former colleague. If I had known she was the daughter of the Hackett family, I wouldn't have hired her. "Speaking of which, you can't blame me for this. The woman who had lost Cheryl is the one to blame. Don't you think so?"Theodora's expression shifted slightly at her words. Before she could come up with a retort, Caroline continued, "Oh, by the way, the banquet will begin in three days, but you're only buying clothes for Cheryl now."Either your subordinates didn't plan this thing well, or they ruined her clothes. No matter the reason, your family's staff members seem rather incapable. What do you think?"Theodora's expression became even darker. Although Caroline was referring to her family's staff, she was actually directing her insults at the Hacketts.Theodora had initially wanted to show everyone that Cheryl was still involved with Caroline so that they would be cautious with her and alienate her. She hadn't expected to get lectu

    Who on earth gave Caroline this much confidence? Was it that poor husband of hers?Cheryl said merrily behind Theodora, "Aunt Theodora, I think this rule is quite heavy-handed, too. Why don't we call the authorities?"The manager's expression shifted at her words, and he looked at Theodore in panic.Only then did Theodore look away from Caroline. "You don't have to do that. You're just trying on some clothes. Sir, you don't mind giving us a compromise, right?"The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly, "Yes, of course. You're all important customers here. I don't mind doing this simple thing. Feel free to try anything, Ms. Lewis."Cheryl said with a smile, "I'm not breaking your store's rules, am I?""No, of course not." The manager quickly asked the saleswoman to take down the dress.Cheryl took the dress into the fitting room, ignoring the manager's flattery.After trying on the dress, she walked out of the fitting room in satisfaction. "I'd like this d

    "What's wrong?" Theodora asked sarcastically. "You don't have to cry if you didn't bring any money. We can pay that 180 thousand dollars for you."Theodore wanted to make the other Hacketts believe that Aiden's love for Cheryl was superficial. Since she had achieved her goal, she could stop there. Besides, if she paid for the dress, Aiden would owe her. "You don't have to do that." Cheryl raised her head, traces of darkness lingering in her gaze. However, her gaze held a bit more disgust as she looked at Theodora. "I can pay for it myself."Theodora's expression shifted slightly at her words. "But you don't have any money, do you?"Cheryl looked at Theodora questioningly. "Aunt Theodora, I don't believe I mentioned having no money. How did you come to that conclusion?"Theodora's expression shifted at her words, but she quickly made an excuse. "Oh, I didn't see you taking your card out, so I thought you didn't bring any money with you.""Mrs. Hackett Senior already gave me a

    "What's wrong, Gwen? Why are you looking at me like that?"Gwen, who was in a daze, quickly returned to her senses. "Oh, it's nothing."Judging by Caroline's tone, it didn't seem like she remembered Layla telling her she wasn't Dan's daughter. That made sense. That had happened before Caroline had lost her memories, so it was normal for her not to remember."By the way, Gwen.""What's up?" Gwen looked at Caroline nervously."Do you know where they are?""They?""Dan and Sarah. I only remember them showing up when I was about to marry Eddy, but then they disappeared. Do you know where they went?""I really don't." Gwen shook her head. "After Kirk took you away, they were probably worried about Eddy retaliating against them. That must be why they disappeared without a trace. There's no sign of them at all.""All right.""Carol, don't tell me you miss them.""No, why would I? It's just … Seeing Cheryl return to the Hackett family made me remember I have parents too.""Abou

    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
