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

Once the door closed, one of the senior executives asked, "Mr. Gavin, what's going on? Why does Ms. Everson want to see you?" "I have no clue either," said Gavin. "Don't fret, though. Just continue with your work. There shouldn't be much of a problem."Despite his words of reassurance, the senior executives didn't think that things were that simple. All of them wore concerned expressions. Eventually, Gavin said, "Don't be so worried. I believe in Ms. Evans. I'm sure Ms. Everson has it in her since Ms. Evans handed the position over to her. "We didn't spend much time with Ms. Everson, so we don't know much about her. We shouldn't judge her based on a single incident like this." He added, "The problem won't solve itself even if you stay here in my office. Why don't you follow me to see Ms. Everson and see what she wants to do?" In the end, the senior executives followed Gavin's suggestion and headed to Evans Group together. …Caroline was having breakfast upstairs when she

Their gazes locked. Caroline froze. Something stirred in the depths of her heart. Flustered, she quickly averted her gaze from Kirk's eyes."Um… Have you eaten?" she asked, trying to change the topic. "Yes," said Kirk with a smile after stealing another glance at Caroline's blushing face and flushed cheeks. It didn't matter how much time had passed. He still loved seeing her blush. He would never get bored seeing her get embarrassed. "Are you sure you don't want to plant anything else here besides grapes?" "I'm sure," said Caroline, still flustered. "I-I haven't eaten enough. I'll head back to grab something to eat." She scurried back into the dining room the moment she finished speaking, fearing that Kirk would say something that would make her heart race like crazy again. She fled, leaving Kirk standing alone, shaking his head helplessly in the garden as he watched her. After spending time together during this period, Kirk had come to realize that Caroline didn't h

That had to be a reason for her hallucinations! No one could convince Caroline that she yearned for Kirk's touch. No way! Caroline felt like slapping herself over and over again as she tried to convince herself that she wasn't so desperate. But then, a tiny voice in her head asked, "Are you sure?" Just then, she heard Kirk yell from the garden below."Carrie, the grapes are on their way," Kirk hollered. "Do you plant them together?" Caroline slowly pried open a hole in the curtains to look down at Kirk, who, to her relief, still had his shirt on. She sighed in relief and answered, "No thanks!" "Okay," Kirk replied. "I'll do it alone then." Hearing him say that made Caroline pity him. She bit her lip and said, "Never mind. I'll help you with it since I have time to spare." Kirk tossed her a smile, one that made him appear all the more enticing as he stood in the sun.Caroline couldn't take it anymore. She turned away from him and rushed downstairs. But when she stopped

"Because I'm Evans Group's CEO," Corinne answered. She continued, "Mr. Gavin, I know that you're good friends with Ms. Evans, but you can't just do whatever you wish. There are rules that need to be followed in this company." Gavin was even more confused now. "You said that we have to follow the rules here. Just what rule is your decision to fire me based on?" Instead of replying, Corinne smiled and closed the contract file on the table. "Now that things have come to this, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. If you don't, I'll have security come up and take you away." That said, she picked up the phone on the table. But Gavin wasn't afraid of her at all. "Ms. Everson, I will not leave the office until you give me a reasonable explanation!" His tone was firm. He might not have done much at Evans Group, but it was as clear as day that Corinne was doing this on purpose. This was a powerplay. She wanted to instill fear in everyone's hearts. Besides, everyone knew th

Gavin hung up, and Caroline pocketed her phone. She was in no hurry to return to the living room, though. It was simply because she couldn't be anywhere near Kirk for now. Just as she was hesitating to head back to the living room, a sharp noise pierced through the air. Before she could even respond, multiple gunshots sounded in the air. Frightened, she darted back into the house. Kirk, who was in the living room, tossed his laptop aside and rushed to Caroline's aid when he heard the noise. When he saw her, he immediately wrapped his arms around her."Are you hurt?" he asked, his voice laced with concern. Caroline shook her head silently. Soon, the sound of gunshots faded, but the two of them stood still with their arms still around each other. When their surroundings became quiet again and there was no longer a single gunshot to be heard, they heard Nightshade teasing them. Only then did Kirk and Caroline realize that the two of them were in such close proximity.

Nightshade's sentence was cut short when Kirk said, "What do you mean? Did you lie about Thomas?" "Of course not. The part about Thomas is true," Nightshade explained himself. "And so is the fact that I'm trying to set up you and Caroline." Kirk didn't get it. "Why are you doing this?""It's simple, really." Nightshade laughed. "You two look the happiest when you're around each other, and when you're happy, I get a pay raise." He added, "I see no reason not to do so… unless you don't want me to?" Kirk stared at Nightshade without blinking. He said, "Don't interfere. I can handle my problem." As cold-blooded as ever, Nightshade mocked, "Yeah, yeah. I haven't seen any improvements, even after so long." "She and I are staying together now. Isn't this considered progress?" Kirk retaliated, making Nightshade laugh. "Do you think this would have happened if it hadn't been for Thomas? When Sean finds the other two assassins, what excuse will you come up with to stay with Car
