Since Moira remained silent, Aiden had no choice but to look at Vincent for an explanation.However, Vincent didn't know anything about the gifts. When he saw that it was all a pile of junk, he panicked and quickly explained, "I don't know anything. I didn't buy them. Moira did. I don't know anything. Moira just told me to follow her here. Don't look at me like that. I really don't know anything…"He backed away as he spoke, "I don't want that one million dollars anymore!" Then, he dashed out of the Hackett residence.Moira wanted to follow him, but Aiden stopped her. "Moira, you should be giving us an explanation. Don't you think so?"Moira wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it. "Uncle Aiden, Aunt Selena. I-I…""Since you can't explain yourself…" Cheryl walked up to Moira and sneered. "I'll do it for you."After a pause, Cheryl continued, "After knowing I had a boyfriend and that he was a driver, you asked Vincent to act as your boyfriend. "He couldn't have bou
Cheryl's life with the Hacketts seemed pretty interesting. "Shall we… go upstairs to chat?" Aiden asked while pointing toward the second floor. Caroline glanced at Adrian. After he nodded, she replied, "Sure."With that, the three of them headed upstairs. After the servants set down the coffee and left, Aiden asked, "Ms. Evans, why did you think of involving Mr. Adrian to investigate the matter of the game data leakage for Cheryl?""It's a long story," answered Caroline.She thought about the weekend she returned to the office after seeing Corinne and Sarah together. Kirk had told her about the competition with Quentin to see who could obtain Corinne's information first. Sunday passed, and Caroline didn't see Kirk. She instinctively knew that he was investigating Corinne.She couldn't help but feel nervous knowing that Kirk was being serious, but she couldn't understand why she was anxious either. It wasn't entirely true if she said she wanted Kirk to win. However,
"It's a deal, then. We'll leave this matter to Mr. Sorkin's friend to investigate," Caroline said as she stood up. Then, she added, "Adrian, you may discuss the specific details with Mr. Hackett Senior. I need to go back to the office to handle some work." "I'll walk you out." Adrian also rose to his feet."There's no need for that."Saying so, Caroline turned to leave. As he looked at her retreating figure and swift movements, Adrian knew what she meant. Yet, he refused to come to terms with it. "Mr. Adrian?"Upon hearing Aiden's voice, Adrian snapped back to reality. Then, he smiled and said, "Let's talk."At that moment, Caroline, who was already downstairs, took the initiative to bid Cheryl and Selena goodbye. Selena was surprised after learning that Caroline was leaving. "Leaving so soon?" Caroline responded, "Yes, Mr. Adrian and Mr. Hackett Senior will discuss the specific details. Even if I stayed, I'm of no help. So, I'll take my leave now.""I'll walk you out,
The day before, Caroline had received information from Adrian and Kirk both online and in person.During that time, she had been overwhelmed and didn't know which one to read first. So, she ended up not opening either file. Now, it was time for her to decide. Should it be Kirk or Adrian? Caroline stared at the phone on top of the file, still unsure which to choose.Suddenly, she thought of the famous coin flip theory. It was said that when one did not know how to make a decision, one could choose to flip a coin.However, the ultimate purpose wasn't to let the coin decide. Instead, one would know what they truly wanted in that second. Caroline had no coins. So, she went to the convenience store to exchange one.After trying several stores, she finally got a ten cent coin.Back in the car, Caroline took a deep breath before tossing the coin."Pop!" The coin dropped to the ground at the moment her mind went blank. Caroline was at a loss for words. She had no idea what
How… did she end up opening Corinne's information, which Kirk had sent her?For a moment, Caroline couldn't find the words to speak. "What's wrong?" Kirk's worried voice sounded when he didn't hear Caroline's response.But now, Caroline's attention was drawn to Corinne's information. "It's nothing. I'm going through Corinne's details now. I'll call you back after I finish reading it."With that, Caroline hung up and started seriously going through the file.The document was similar to the resume Corinne provided. A fire happened when she was five years old, and she was sent abroad. But the document Kirk sent was more detailed.Back then, at just five years old, Corinne was sent abroad overnight. Furthermore, after she arrived at the hospital, the patients there were gradually removed.After that, during the period of her treatment, Sarah and Dan returned to the country at different times. But what was more interesting was that they would go to orphanages upon their arriva
Caroline was puzzled. "Why didn't you send Corrine's information to me when you got it?" This time, Kirk remained silent for a long while.Then, he said, "When I got the information, I was outside a restaurant. I saw you meeting with Adrian."Caroline asked, "You were just outside the restaurant?"That seemed too coincidental, right? So, it also meant that both parties had gotten the information at about the same time.No, this wasn't right…Caroline looked at Kirk, speechless. After a minute, she unbuckled her seatbelt and exited the car. Kirk looked at Caroline in confusion. He only understood what she was doing when she sat in the passenger seat."So, I won?" he asked cautiously.Caroline pursed her lips. "I just calculated the time when you started your investigation and found that you started investigating a day later than Quentin. After the calculation, you did win after all."She had been troubled for half a day over nothing. "So…" Kirk asked carefully. "For th
"What are you thinking about?" Kirk's low voice echoed beside Caroline. Caroline snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Kirk. Under the bright night sky, Kirk's handsome features were lovely to look at. Regardless of his angles or Caroline's mood, she could never bring herself to say that he was ugly.He was like a gift that God had given the world. To her, the one person who had Kirk to herself, it must have been some luck. "I was thinking about how our lives would be like if I had agreed to your revenge plan that day.""I don't know, but one thing wouldn't change." Kirk gazed into Caroline's eyes. Caroline had a feeling and knew what he was going to say, but she couldn't help but ask, "What is it?""I would still fall in love with you."Caroline's heart skipped a beat, and she looked away shyly. "Are we… going to spend the whole day here?""No, I have 24 hours with you. To me, every minute and every second with you is precious. So, I don't want to waste our time.
"Why?" Caroline was confused. She looked through the glass window.The interior didn't seem particularly interesting. So, she really couldn't understand why Kirk insisted on eating here.If he really just wanted to eat, he could've easily dined in a seven-star hotel. The environment there would've been elegant, and not just ten times better than this place, but hundreds and even thousands of times better."There's a rumored charm about this place," Kirk finally spoke up. Caroline looked up at him. He seemed to be struggling to put his thoughts into words. After a moment, he slowly said, "It's said that couples, even if they were on the verge of divorce, if they ate here, they would reconcile as if nothing had happened." Caroline couldn't help but laugh after hearing his explanation. "So, that's why you dragged me here to eat?"Kirk neither agreed nor disagreed. He just looked away as if he didn't hear what she had said.Caroline glanced at him, and somewhere in her hea
