After a long while, an anxious voice rang out, "Don't call the police!"Everyone looked over at the speaker and was surprised to see that it was Moira."Why can't we call the police?" Aiden glared at Moira as if he could see through her intentions.Moira stammered, unable to explain herself. She couldn't tell them that she was behind this and that she'd done it to frame Cheryl. If they called the police, they would find out it was her.Fortunately, Theodora was a quick thinker compared to her daughter. She found an excuse and said, "Stealing from one's family is a shameful incident to begin with. It would be embarrassing if word about this got out. In my opinion, we should handle this discreetly."But the family elders wanted to resolve this issue quickly. "After some discussion, it would be better not to call the police. In any case, they found the flash drive in Cheryl's bag. Even if she isn't behind this, she has to pay the price for what she did. Otherwise, she won't learn h
If she were accused, having someone backing her up would be good. Cheryl smiled. "Yes, as long as it's not something I did, it won't be traced back to me. But as long as someone did something, there will be traces."Just as Moira was about to speak, Theodora pulled her back. Then, she smiled mysteriously. "That's right, as long as something was done, there will be traces."We just need to follow the traces left behind, and the police will find the person. Let's just wait and see. It's getting late now. Me and Moira will be heading back first!"With that, Theodora pulled Moira away. When they reached the door, Moira broke free from her mother's restraints. "Mom, why didn't you let me speak? Did Cheryl find something?""If I didn't stop you, wouldn't you expose that we're framing her?" Theodora replied angrily. Moira was extremely impatient, and it was giving her a headache. "Mom, why would I be so dumb as to expose such things?""You may not have said it, but it's all over yo
Caroline returned to the hospital ward only to find the neighboring room eerily quiet. No one was inside, and she furrowed her brows in confusion.Usually, at this time, Kirk's room would be brightly lit, and a tantalizing aroma of food would waft out as if purposely tempting people to enter. Why was it so quiet tonight?When Caroline thought about the previous night's events, she felt that they might be planning something again. She went straight into the room. However, after she finished her examination, she found out that Kirk's room was still in complete darkness. She frowned and stood at the entrance of his room for a moment. But ultimately, she chose to push open the door to her room. Throughout the night, Caroline listened intently for any sound coming from the neighboring room. However, it remained completely silent. Caroline felt uneasy. As far as she knew, Kirk hadn't fully recovered, so he couldn't have been discharged.So if he wasn't discharged, why was
Caroline wanted to try the tea to see if it truly did have such a remarkable effect, and whether it could help her fall asleep. At that moment, she truly needed a good night's sleep. Back at the hospital, Caroline went to the doctor for a check-up to ensure that everything was fine. Then, she returned to her ward. Meanwhile, the door of the room next door remained tightly shut. Caroline's heart sank. What on earth was happening? Just then, a nurse walked by, and Caroline hurriedly called her over, "Excuse me, miss. I want to ask if the patient next door has already been discharged?"The nurse glanced at the room. Kirk was the most well-known patient in the hospital, so she quickly remembered. "You mean Mr. Morrison, right? He hasn't been discharged yet, but he won't be in the hospital for the next few days.""Then where did he go? He hasn't healed fully yet.""I'm not sure about that. The doctor only mentioned that he would be out of the hospital for a few days. I don't
Sean looked around at the expressions of everyone around him and found it quite amusing. "Charles is fine, but well …"Caroline's heart sank. "But what?""Forget it, it's nothing," Sean said as he glanced at Kirk. "Anyway, it's no one important."Caroline was speechless.Sean then pretended to be surprised. "Could it be that you called Charles, not because you worry for him, but because you're asking for someone else?" Caroline denied without hesitation. "No, I was worried because Charles couldn't be reached. I was worried something happened to him. I don't care about anyone else."However, Caroline's heart felt like it was getting torn into pieces. She really wanted to know what happened to Kirk.Fortunately, Sean still had some sense. "Kirk's also here. Do you want to say anything to him?"Caroline paused for a while before replying, "I have nothing to say to him."Feigning surprise, Sean said, "Really? Then I'll hang up now.""Wait!" Caroline cried out. "Where are you gu
The booming laughter almost caused the glasses to fall to the ground. Kirk narrowed his eyes as he heard another man's voice from outside. "I thought Kirk Morrison would be different, but turns out, he's just a man who gets jealous because of a woman! Hahaha! How interesting, very interesting. More interesting than I could have ever imagined!"However, I won't help you just because you're interesting. I'll give you three days. Within these three days, you can't resort to outside help. If you can find me in a crowd, I'll help you unconditionally.""Mister," Sean piped up quickly. "How large is the crowd you're talking about?""Well, how about this city?"Before Kirk and the rest could respond, Nightshade said again, "That's settled then. From now on, if you can't find me within these three days, you won't be able to ask for my help in the future. I won't be so cooperative next time." As the voice spoke, it seemed to fade away gradually, getting farther and farther away.When Ch
When she saw the person at the door, she smiled. "Mom."Sarah held a plate of fruits and said with a smile, "You've been working hard. How's it going?"Corinne held up the information about the Evans Group in her hand. "Well, the Evans Group has developed quite well under Caroline's management. If we take it back, we can reap all the benefits."When Corinne mentioned the name "Caroline", she was still uncomfortable with it. After all, that name used to belong to her. However, to get back at the Evans, even if she had given her name away, so what?"Hmph! That's good," Sarah said, satisfied as she sat beside Corinne. "Caroline is still useful. Raising her wasn't a waste."Initially, Caroline, who was now Corinne, had almost lost her life in a car accident. Dan had feared that someone else might take the title of Mrs. Morrison if Corinne had died. So, he adopted a child from an overseas orphanage to replace her. That child was now Caroline Evans.When he brought the child back
If the plan worked, they could avoid a lot of trouble, and Corinne could finally reclaim her position as the heir of the Evans.Even though memories of her childhood were fading, she still wanted to be the daughter of the Evans family and not a poor office worker.…Caroline had a good night's sleep the night before, and she woke up the next day full of energy. For that reason, she'd even bought a box of chocolates to give Corinne."Thanks to the tea, I finally slept well last night."Corinne carefully observed Caroline's face and found that her complexion had improved. She knew that Caroline wasn't lying. The tea had worked."If it's worked so well, feel free to ask for more. I'll bring another box tomorrow if you need it!" Corinne said."Sure." After thanking her, Caroline walked to her office.As Corinne watched her leave, her eyes gleamed with determination. In the afternoon, Caroline received a call from Jack.On the phone, his voice sounded anxious. "Madam, somethi
