"Well, at least I won't show up around you until I find someone else.""Adrian…""Don't act like this." Adrian tilted his head back. "If you do this, you'll just give me false hope."Caroline pursed her lips and didn't reply. "I'll be going back first later.""Why?" she asked, confused."Just do as I say. Think of it as fulfilling one of my wishes."Caroline looked into his sincere eyes and nodded involuntarily. "Then, I'll be going now." With that, Adrian looked at her longingly, burning every strand of her hair into his mind. Then, he smiled at her faintly and left.At the entrance, Cheryl and Kirk were waiting for them to return. When Kirk saw Adrian coming back alone, his expression changed. He stepped up and grabbed Adrian by the collar."Where's Caroline?"Adrian looked at him indifferently and said, "You're really lucky. Do you know how much I envy you?"Kirk ignored Adrian's words and continued to glare at him. "I asked, where is Caroline?"The next second, Carol
As soon as Caroline heard Kirk's response, she couldn't help but say, "Didn't we agree on this? We were just pretending like we'd made up. It was all acting. "Now that Adrian's gone, we don't have to continue our act."He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Caroline, even if you were going to get rid of someone who helped you, you wouldn't do it right away, right?" She didn't reply. She didn't want to continue talking about their relationship. Instead, she turned to Cheryl and asked, "Is the information accurate? How is it? Are we sure that Joshua was behind this?" "Yes, the document also explains how he fabricated the false evidence. If we give the document to the police, Joshua will definitely be arrested…"When Caroline heard how she trailed off, she knew that Cheryl hadn't finished speaking her thoughts. Caroline asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried that if he gets arrested, no one will be there to care for your adoptive parents?"Cheryl smiled. "Caroline, you think
When Dan heard the commotion downstairs, he rushed down from the second floor. He looked at Corinne worriedly. Corinne, who had a smug look on her face, made space and told their maids behind her, "Bring it all in!"Sarah and Dan saw the branded luxury bags in their hands and became even more confused. "Corinne, where did you get the money to buy so many things?" After the maids left, she replied, "Mom, Dad, I bought things for you. Look at them. Do you like them?"Sarah casually opened one of the bags and found that it had Louis Vuitton clothes. Her eyes widened at the sight. "Corinne, where did you get the money?"Corinne smiled. "Evans Group?""You.. You embezzled the company's money! You must've spent so much on so many things. Caroline will definitely find out when she goes to work tomorrow," Dan said quickly. "Hurry, return all of this. If Caroline finds out, you won't be able to eat or walk tomorrow!"Corinne sat down and said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry. She wo
While the Evanses were dreaming about taking over Evans Group after Caroline's downfall, Caroline herself was troubled because she had to live under the same roof as Kirk.Although they had stayed together back at the hospital before, she couldn't help but feel awkward now that they were living together again. She felt so restless that she wished to hear every single sound outside the door. Yet when she heard some movement, she wished that the sound would go away immediately. Even though she was stuck in this torturous cycle, she miraculously didn't suffer from the lack of sleep the first night at home. However, the next day, Gwen bombarded her over the phone."You and Kirk got back together? And you're living together again? Are you planning to put the past aside and live together? Why didn't you tell me?"If Sean hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have known that you and Kirk were together again. Wow, am I still your best friend?"Caroline was speechless. However, it was Cher
Several minutes later, Cheryl gingerly sent a message to Caroline. "Don't get upset if we tell you about it, okay?" "Just tell me already. We've known each other for so long. Do you think I'd get mad at you for something trivial like this? I asked you to tell me about it, so I won't be mad at you for it."Gwen, Cheryl, and Sonia were relieved to hear Caroline say that, and they finally gained enough courage to voice out what they thought. They started a video call to tell her what they thought. "Kirk might've lied to you about his identity, but he never lied to you about anything else," Gwen said. "So, you're saying that I shouldn't dwell on the fact that he lied to me?" "Yeah, that sums it up," said Gwen "What do you think, Cheryl?" Caroline asked.It was Cheryl's turn to speak. "Well, I'll be frank with you. I think Kirk's a good guy. You might never get to meet another man who treats you as well as he does. If I were you, I would let go of this tiny mistake of his." Ch
The call was from Gavin. Caroline was quite surprised to hear his voice when she answered the phone. "Mr. Gavin," she greeted him. "Is something the matter?"To be honest, Gavin himself hadn't wanted to make the call. However, he had no choice but to call Caroline because the senior executives at Evans Group had stopped him from entering his office. There was nothing he could do to get out of this predicament. "Ms. Evans, have you heard about the matter regarding Corinne? About the embezzlement issue that happened right after she temporarily took up the position as Evans Group's CEO?" A smile formed on Caroline's face when she heard that, but it didn't reach her eyes."Oh? When did this happen?" she asked. Gavin couldn't sense any hint of anger in her voice. To him, she even sounded excited to hear the news. It was so strange that he frowned in confusion."Yesterday. You've just handed things over to her, yet she's already done something so frivolous," he said. "Ms. Evan
Alas, no one could turn back time. After a minute of hesitation, Corinne gritted her teeth and answered the call. Her phone felt heavy and dangerous in her hand, as if it were a ticking bomb. Her hands trembled as she said, "Ms. Evans."Corinne was completely taken aback by the way Caroline sounded. There wasn't the slightest hint of fury in Caroline's voice. In fact, she even sounded happy. "I heard that you got involved in embezzlement." "Let me explain!" Corinne exclaimed. It didn't matter whether Caroline sounded calm or mad at her anymore. All Corinne wanted to do at the moment was explain and defend herself. "There's no need to explain yourself," Caroline said. "I know you must have had your reasons for doing this. I believe in you. You're my friend, after all." Her voice was sincere. "I trust that you'll spend the money on the company. Am I right?" Corinne was rendered speechless. She hadn't expected Caroline to say something like that. Even an elderly person with
Caroline scratched her head and said, "Oh, really? I don't remember calling you." "This probably means you haven't gotten enough rest," Corinne replied. "You should get some more rest. Don't worry about the company. Leave it all to me." "Okay, I'll leave it to you then," said Caroline. A moment later, she mumbled to herself, "Why did I call Corinne again?" Then, she hung up. …Corinne placed her phone on the table and breathed out slowly. She had recorded the call just now. Those were Caroline's exact words. Corinne could sack anyone from the company. Well then, the first thing she would do was to… She picked up her phone and called Stephanie. "Stephanie, come and see me," Corinne ordered. A moment later, a timid Stephanie entered the office with uneasiness written all over her face. "Were you the one who told Ms. Evans about me using the company's money?" Corinne demanded. Stephanie was so afraid that she almost had a heart attack. "No. It wasn't me. Why would I t
