After leaving the bathroom, Cheryl hurried back to the kiosk. When she entered the kiosk, she asked Jack, "Have you seen Caroline?""What happened? Why do you look so frantic?""Let's go. We need to find Caroline first." Cheryl didn't know how to explain the situation to Jack.Jack had no choice but to help her look for Caroline. Soon, they saw Kirk at the door. However, Caroline wasn't there.Jack approached Kirk curiously and asked, "Sir, why isn't Madam with you?"Kirk had a sullen face. He still hadn't gotten over the fact that Caroline left him alone.Seeing this, Cheryl nudged Jack. "Stay here with Mr. Kirk. I'll look for Caroline elsewhere."As soon as she finished talking, she saw Caroline return. She happily approached Caroline and grabbed her hand. "Caroline…"Caroline nodded weakly."What's wrong, Caroline?" Cheryl asked.Kirk was still sulking, but he also noticed that something was off with Caroline. He walked over to them and stared at Caroline nervously
Caroline was desperate to find out who Corrine was, so she stopped insisting on Kirk staying and walked out of the mall.As Cheryl and Jack watched them leave, she asked, "Who do you think that woman was?"Jack said with a smile, "You'd better not ask me things that require a lot of thinking. Madam will definitely tell you the full story after she's done investigating. I'd rather focus my attention on Monday."At the mention of this, Jack became a little shy. "I hope I can win over your parents next Monday so we can finally become a real family."Cheryl lowered her head, her cheeks flushed. "Who on earth taught you such cheesy words?""No one taught me that. T-this is how I truly feel.""You're such a smooth talker." Cheryl held Jack's arm. "Let's go and find you some clothes."Jack hummed in content, letting Cheryl pull him toward the kiosk.…Meanwhile, Caroline and Kirk arrived at the mall entrance and hailed a cab.After they got into the car, Kirk no longer looked sullen
"Yeah, Cheryl said that that woman was Sarah's daughter. If I remember correctly, she looks to be my age. "If she's really Sarah's daughter, there are only two scenarios to explain this. Either I have a twin, or I'm really not Dan's daughter, and I'm not supposed to be Caroline Evans. "Instead, I took her place and lived among the masses as her."Kirk asked, "What made you think of the latter explanation?""It's simple. I've read Corrine's backstory. She'd suffered a fire when she was five and needed to undergo plastic surgery. If she wasn't lying and has undergone those surgeries, she would've needed time to recover because those surgeries have certain risks. "The real Caroline was engaged to Eddy. If something unexpected happened during the surgery and the engagement was canceled, the Morrisons would never help the Evans family again. In that case, the Evans family wouldn't even exist right now."Kirk said, "So, you're saying that Dan got another child to pretend to be Carol
"Then, it's settled," Kirk said. Then, he called Charles.Meanwhile, Caroline went to her office. She took out all the documents about Corrine and read through them again. However, she didn't make any progress. Other than a few timeline consistencies, she didn't find anything that proved that she was a substitute.In other words, she could only wait for Kirk's or Quentin's investigation to be over.…The wait was tough, but Monday still arrived.Cheryl got up anxiously early in the morning.When the servant saw her, she said with a smile, "Ms. Lewis, your boyfriend is the one who's meeting your family. But you look so nervous, it's as if you're the one who's meeting his family instead."Cheryl blushed from being teased, but she quietly approached the servant and asked, "Ma'am, how long have you been working for the Hacketts?"The servant said in confusion, "About four or five years. Why are you asking?""How do you think my parents will feel about him? I heard that my br
Cheryl could tell that Moira was here to cause trouble. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought her boyfriend over so early in the morning.However, she didn't understand something. If Moira was a brainless fool, was her boyfriend all the same? Why did he tag along to cause trouble too?Sure enough, Vincent said, "What did you say? Her boyfriend is a driver? Hahaha! I can't believe the heiress' boyfriend is a driver! If I recall correctly, you seem to be close to Caroline. You two are truly birds of a feather. Even your partners are poor beggars."Cheryl remained silent. Then, she looked at Moira. "Didn't you tell your boyfriend that Caroline's husband is Kirk Morrison, the former president of SY Group?"Moira immediately became embarrassed.On the other hand, Vincent seemed to think Cheryl's words were a joke. He laughed. "Hahaha, you're cracking me up! I can't believe you're saying Kirk Morrison is Caroline's husband. "Moira, your cousin seems to be delusional."Moira tugged a
Moira took out one of the presents and said, "Aunt Selena, Vincent bought this bracelet for you. Do you like it?"Selena glanced at the bracelet, a trace of a smile appearing on her face. The bracelet seemed to be of good quality. It should have cost around two to three million dollars.Selena wasn't even Moira's mother, yet Vincent gave her a very generous gift right off the bat. But Selena felt a little worried when she remembered that Cheryl's boyfriend was coming soon too.During the past few days, after Aiden had persuaded her, Selena no longer cared who Cheryl's partner was, even if he was just a driver. Their family had plenty of resources and money anyway. If Jack was motivated, he could rise up the ranks of the family as her son-in-law. Even if he couldn't reach the top, he could still live a wealthy life.But after Vincent gave her such an expensive gift, Selena felt another headache coming. The thing that upper-class citizens did the most was competing at the mos
After a while, Moira felt bored when Cheryl didn't react to her scheme.She said, "Cheryl, I wonder when your boyfriend will arrive. It's been so long, but he still hasn't shown up yet. Did he get lost because it's his first time in a villa?"Cheryl retorted, "He's a driver. If a driver could get lost in such a small place, he wouldn't even be a driver in the first place."Moira was speechless. Why was Cheryl acting proud? It was bad enough that she wasn't ashamed that she had a driver for a boyfriend, but she was even proud. Man, Cheryl was truly naive.Moira was about to speak when she heard the sound of the servant's footsteps outside. "M-Mrs. Hackett Senior, Ms. Lewis' boyfriend is here!"Now that the star of the show was here, Moira was even more eager than Cheryl, the girlfriend herself. Moira then walked out first and said, "Since he's a driver, I hope he's not driving his employer's car." As she walked out of the house, she saw Jack getting out of the car.Moira
Besides, although he had been a driver for a while, his salary was still quite high. It started at a million dollars a month, and if he saved Caroline from trouble, he would even get a raise."Who is she?" Jack decided to figure out who Moira was before figuring out the attitude he should adopt toward her.Cheryl looked at Jack strangely. "Don't you know her?""Am I supposed to?" Jack whispered.Cheryl was speechless. Moira would always be there whenever something happened to her, but Jack still didn't remember her. What on earth was going on in his head?"She's my… relative," Cheryl answered, although she didn't want to admit it. "She also brought her boyfriend here.""Your relative? She isn't your sister, is she?"Cheryl answered, "Of course not! She isn't my sister!""Since she's not your sister, why did she bring her boyfriend here? Is it because she doesn't have parents?"When Jack finished speaking, Cheryl almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Moreover, Jack's earn
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
