"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."

    "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

    With a spin, Caroline fell into Kirk's arms. She was about to get up when Kirk grabbed the back of her head. Then, he gave her a fleeting kiss, which soon became forceful and domineering.Caroline was almost out of breath from the kiss. After what seemed to be a long time, she used all of her strength to push Kirk away. "Are you really drunk or just pretending?"Caroline stared at the drowsy Kirk. She had to admit that he was handsome, no matter his situation. Even when he was drunk, his stellar facial features were difficult to look away from.Kirk wrapped his arms around Caroline's waist once more.Caroline was dumbfounded. Why did she have a feeling he wasn't drunk at all and was just faking it?"Carrie …" Kirk had his eyes closed, and his sleepy expression gradually twisted in pain.Caroline felt a prick in her chest at the sight, and she frowned."Carrie …" Kirk opened his mouth and muttered Caroline's name again.Caroline reached out and held Kirk's hand. Even though she

    "I'm sure you know how he is very well."Caroline looked down. Then, she looked at the street lights and said with a smile, "Yeah, I know how capable he is. But I hope he'll be safe and sound."…The two soon arrived at the Hacketts' residence. When the household staff saw Caroline arrive, they immediately welcomed her and led her to the table reserved for her. Those who held the power among the big four families were sitting at that table. As Caroline's friend, Gwen naturally had the right to join the table too.However, the other people weren't at the table yet, so Caroline and Gwen were the only ones there. It made their table look rather deserted.Gwen noticed the nameplate with Eddy's name on the opposite side. "I almost forgot we'd have to dine at the same table with Eddy on occasions like these. I feel sick just thinking of his face."Caroline chuckled. "Then, don't think about it.""I don't want to. But he's going to be sitting across from us when he comes later. Knowi

    The minutes slowly ticked by.Seeing that the party was about to begin, Gwen stared at Eddy's seat and asked, "Why isn't Eddy here yet?"The party was going to begin in five minutes.Caroline shook her head. At this moment, she saw Aiden and Selena coming downstairs happily. "Cheryl will be out here soon."Gwen also looked at Aiden and Selena. "Yeah. Logically speaking, Eddy should be here by now."However, Caroline's attention wasn't on Eddy but on Aiden and Selena, who were leisurely walking down the stairs.…Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Eddy, who had been forced into the wilderness, had to ask the driver to stop the car."Mr. Eddy!" The driver nervously looked out the window at the cars surrounding them. There were a total of six cars on the other side. They had similar numbers to theirs, but for some reason, he felt uneasy."I asked you to stop the car!" Eddy said coldly. His expression didn't change.The driver had no choice but to stop the car at Eddy's

    It seemed that Kirk really wanted to kill Eddy. However, Eddy didn't mind because he wanted Kirk dead too."You brought me here to stop me from attending the banquet and telling Caroline who you are, right?""I can't believe you're still sticking your hand into the hornet's nest when you know that." Kirk glanced at him casually.Eddy laughed. "Oh, Kirk. Do you think I'll give up an opportunity like this? This whole time, you've sent so many Shadowers to watch my movements to prevent me from telling Caroline your true identity. "Because of that, I never had the chance to contact her. But I have a great chance to do so tonight, and there's no way I'm giving that up."Kirk looked up at him. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Eddy's wrist. With a twist of his hand, he snapped Eddy's wrist. Eddy's men were shocked by the sight. It took them a few seconds to remember to aim their weapons at Kirk.A few seconds later, Kirk's men showed up outside the car, carrying guns.

    Meanwhile, Eddy wasn't the only one late to the banquet. Cheryl hadn't shown up yet either. Everyone in the hall had already begun whispering among themselves."What the hell is going on? It's been five minutes. Why isn't Cheryl here yet?" Gwen asked anxiously, "Did something happen?"Caroline glanced at everyone in the Hackett family. Some were anxious about Cheryl's delay, some gloated at her misfortune, and some even expressed contempt for her.At this moment, Moira and Theodora walked from the Hackett family's table to the main table together.Moira approached Aiden and asked worriedly, "Uncle Aiden, why hasn't Cheryl shown up yet? Did something happen?"Caroline focused her eyes on Moira. The voice she heard in the bathroom earlier belonged to her!Selena looked toward the second floor. "Maybe I should go upstairs and take a look.""What are you saying?" Theodora held Selena down. "Selena, you're Cheryl's mother. You can't just check up on her all the time. Maybe she's st

    However, Theodora wasn't anxious in the slightest. "So what if she did? It's not like she has proof. Hmph, there's no way Caroline can magically make a new dress for Cheryl."Moira glanced at the second floor. After making sure Cheryl wasn't there, she sighed in relief. "You're right, Mom. There's no way Caroline can get a new dress for Cheryl in such a short time unless she had somehow guessed that this would happen."Just as they felt proud of their scheme, they heard the sound of the door opening on the second floor.Everyone looked over at the second floor. When Moira saw Cheryl walking out slowly, a smug look appeared on her face. However, her smile froze the next second because Cheryl was wearing the dress she had picked out in the store."What? How could this be?" Moira murmured.Theodora had more experience in life than her daughter. She quickly calmed down and pinched Moira's hand. "Something fishy must be going on here. Just stay calm for now. Don't make a fool of yo

    Everyone was respectful toward Aiden. Since he had also come forward, they raised their glasses in celebration. Everyone was in a good mood.Moira and Theodora almost snapped in anger at the sight. Halfway through the banquet, they noticed Cheryl leaving the hall. Moira exchanged glances with Theodora before following her.When Moira saw Cheryl admiring the moon in the courtyard, she clenched her fists and approached Cheryl unhappily. "You seem to be in high spirits, Cheryl. You're actually admiring the moon."Cheryl slowly turned around with her wine glass in hand, looking at Moira with a smile. "Who said I was admiring the moon? I was waiting for you."Moira's expression shifted at her words. "For me?""Yeah. You must be curious about why my dress isn't destroyed.""What are you talking about? I don't get it."Without missing a beat, Cheryl splashed Moira's face with the wine in her glass. Moira immediately snapped, "What the hell is wrong with you, Cheryl?""Oh, are you do

    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
