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.
Seeing this, Gwen couldn't resist commenting, "They're truly a one-trick pony. They stalk and use emotional blackmail every single time!" Caroline mused, "Unfortunately, it's something those bystanders enjoy.""What should we do? We can't just let them mess around."Caroline slightly frowned as she looked at Willow, who was already telling the guests how hard things were for her, her face full of snot and tears. After pondering for a moment, she looked at Willow's back and smiled.When Willow arrived at Caroline's side, she grabbed Willow's hand.Willow's expression shifted when she saw Caroline. "Aren't you that woman from before?"Caroline smiled slightly. "Oh, you still remember. I thought you had already forgotten me!""Of course I do. You were Cheryl's boss. I have to thank you for Cheryl's current achievements.""Don't mention it." Caroline changed the topic. "I was very touched to hear you talk about how you treated Cheryl. When I met you last time, I noticed you we
"Oh, I got it. It must be Cheryl's fault. She's a bad luck charm. I was wondering why we've been so poor since you joined our family. Mrs. Hackett Senior …"Willow walked toward Selena. "I'm sure I'm right. Cheryl must have jinxed your family. "As long as you drive her out and take Joshua in as your godson, I guarantee that things will go well for your family, and you'll get back on your feet."Selena frowned in displeasure upon seeing Willow's true colors. "You kept saying you loved Cheryl, but you're saying such things now. I think you love our family's money instead of Cheryl. Am I wrong?"Willow realized she might have been deceived and turned to Caroline. "But you just said—""Mom!" Joshua was dumbfounded by his mother's actions. He grabbed Willow's hand and said, "We should go. We can't keep embarrassing ourselves here!""Ugh!"After watching them get into the car, Cheryl sighed in relief."Thank you, Ms. Evans." Cheryl really didn't know what to say. If Caroline hadn't
