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
Eddy already knew the answer, but he still didn't want to believe it. "Is it because of Caroline?""Isn't that obvious?""So you're willing to ignore the consequences for Caroline's sake?" Eddy tightly clenched his fists. "Hmph. If I were the one Caroline liked from the start, you would be the madman right now! Don't you think so?""I don't know about that. But one thing I know is that I will never hurt Carrie!"Eddy sucked in a harsh breath, but he still couldn't get rid of his frustration. He tightly shut his eyes. After a long time, he opened his eyes again and said, "Cut the crap. I'm the one who proposed this bet. If I die, I'll have no regrets, and the Morrisons won't cause trouble for you."Kirk said, "Then, let's sign a waiver."Eddy hummed in agreement. "Let your people make one."A few minutes later, the waiver was done.Eddy glanced at the waiver. After making sure nothing was wrong, he signed it. Since he had proposed the bet, he naturally wouldn't refuse to sig
The two drivers in the front seat of each car didn't know that the people sitting in the back seat weren't their respective bosses. Therefore, they had simple expectations. They hoped they could reach the mountaintop first.The two men in their respective back seats were much calmer, especially Kirk. As he looked at the receding scenery, he only had one thought. He had to return home and see Caroline soon.At this moment, his car, which had been moving forward, was hit hard by something.Kirk glanced out the window and saw Eddy's car.After knocking Kirk's car out of the way, Eddy's car drove away as fast as an arrow.The driver's angry voice came from the front seat. "Damn it! Should we catch up to them, Mr. Eddy?""Yeah," Kirk said lightly.When people were in very stressful situations, they couldn't help but be distracted. Therefore, the driver didn't notice that the voice from the back seat was different. He stepped on the accelerator and frantically followed the car in
Kirk focused and stepped on the accelerator to prevent the car behind him from having a chance to hit him.The driver seemed to have noticed something and said with a smile, "Your guy is just as capable as you. I wonder if he'll end up killing you, his own boss."As soon as he finished talking, the car behind them hit the back of their car. Cheetah's attack was harsh and ferocious.Kirk's car went flying from the blow. If he hadn't steadied the car with all his strength, the car would have crashed through the guardrail.The driver in the back seat laughed at the sight. "Hahaha! They got here fast."Kirk still glanced at him without doing anything.The driver asked curiously, "Why aren't you killing me?""I want you to watch how Eddy dies."The driver hugged the passenger seat once more. "Since you're in front and he's behind, he should have more opportunities to make a move than you."Kirk chuckled. "Is that so?"He stepped on the accelerator, widening the distance between th
Meanwhile, at the Hacketts' residence, Gwen grumbled, looking in the direction of the door, "I'm worried sick. The banquet is about to end, so why haven't Kirk and Sean arrived?" "Ms. Evans!" A familiar voice called out.Caroline and Gwen looked back and saw Cheryl. Gwen wanted to greet her in excitement, but Caroline stopped her."Congratulations on returning to the Hackett family, Ms. Hackett." Caroline raised her wine glass and congratulated Cheryl warmly.Gwen realized they were in a public place, and many people were watching. After all, their relationship with Cheryl wasn't what it used to be."I must thank you for your help tonight, Ms. Evans. If you hadn't given me an identical dress, I would have made a fool of myself instead of Moira."Since Moira had had wine splashed all over her and still didn't know how Cheryl's dress wasn't ruined, she assumed that the maid had betrayed her. Hence, she had left in despair, not daring to cause more trouble for Cheryl."I'm sure
Cheryl then followed the others out.Gwen asked Caroline, "Should we follow them?""Of course. Why shouldn't we?" Caroline said. She had a feeling that Theodora was up to something. This issue couldn't be that simple."Then, let's go!" Gwen held Caroline's hand and followed everyone out.When Gwen arrived at the door and saw who was there, her expression shifted. "So, it's her."Two people were standing at the door, one of whom Gwen recognized. It was Willow, Cheryl's mother, who always begged her for money. Wait—she was just Cheryl's adoptive mother now.Standing next to Willow was a young man who was about 20 years old. If Gwen wasn't wrong, he must be Cheryl's younger brother, Joshua Lewis."Who are you two?" When Theodora saw them, the enthusiasm in her eyes disappeared. She had thought that the newcomer was Eddy and that he had been late on purpose. She hadn't expected the visitors to be two ordinary-looking people.Joshua glanced at Cheryl and approached her. "Hey, Che
When Selena heard Cheryl's words, she quickly grabbed her arm. "Don't say that, Cheryl. She's your adoptive mother, the one who raised you for over two decades.""She raised me, you say? Haha, you're right. They raised me for over two decades, but last month, they betrayed me for the sake of money. "My reputation would have been ruined if it hadn't been for Ms. Evans. What's wrong? Are you done spending the one million dollars you got? How much money are you planning to extort this time?"Cheryl didn't pull any punches. She only showed mercy to people she cared about. People like Willow, who only cared about money, wouldn't know anything about mercy.Willow stuttered, "W-What are you talking about? I didn't get one million dollars. Cheryl, I know you're angry at me for what happened. I was confused back then. But I came forward and explained myself, didn't I?""You already know exactly why you did that. Basically, there's no way I'm letting you in here!"Willow was speechless.
