On the other end of the line, Cheryl agreed to Caroline's request without hesitation. "Sure, no problem."Caroline said, "Sorry to trouble you, Cheryl."Cheryl said unhappily, "Come on, Caroline. You've helped me so much. Besides, you're only asking me to deliver a message."Caroline pursed her lips. Then, she felt an intense gaze on her and quickly turned around. However, she saw that Kirk's eyes were closed, and he hadn't woken up yet.Caroline couldn't help but frown. Was she being too sensitive? She put her phone down and looked over at Kirk involuntarily. After watching Kirk for a few minutes, she realized that her thoughts had wandered again while she had been looking at Kirk. Caroline held her head helplessly. She had to find something else to do, or she would end up spending the entire day staring at Kirk....After getting Caroline's call, Cheryl left her home. While she was on the way, Jack called her and invited her out for a meal.Cheryl answered, "Sure, but I ha
Cheryl actually liked the Hacketts now—but only Aiden and Selena. "Why do you want me to leave all of a sudden?""I don't mean that." Jack smiled. "I'm saying we should get married so you don't have to live with the Hacketts. You can also have less contact with them."Cheryl was shocked. After a long while, she whispered, "A-Are you proposing?"Then, Jack fell silent. After a moment, he said, "Yeah, but don't be afraid, Cheryl. I'm not saying that we have to get married now. "If you don't want to get married so soon, we can live together for now. If you're worried that I won't be responsible for you, we can register our marriage first—Oh God, what the hell am I saying?"Cheryl burst into laughter upon hearing Jack's jumbled words. "Yeah, I get what you're saying. It's too soon to get married."When Jack heard her response, he said in disappointment, "Yeah.""But I think living together is a good idea."Jack's eyes lit up."Then, when should we—Hang on, we should find a plac
Ever since Caroline had handed over the company to Corinne, the latter had been leading the company with an iron fist. If anyone dared to say no to her, she would come up with various reasons to fire them. Sometimes, she didn't even have a reason for firing them.Basically, everyone had been fearful and was walking on thin ice under Corinne's leadership.When they saw Corinne now, everyone was desperate to hide themselves. There was no way anyone would talk back at her.Even so, some people in the company were Corinne's lackeys. When they heard their boss' words, someone echoed, "Exactly. She didn't become successful on her own. There's nothing to be envious about. "To put it harshly, she was abandoned when she was a child, and the Hacketts only found her more than two decades later. "So she never helped contribute to her family during that time. She played no part in the Hackett family's success."However, the person who had spoken wasn't aware that she was also describing
Cheryl and Jack noticed a car driving past them as soon as they drove away.Cheryl briefly glanced at the car and saw that it was Corinne. She seemed to be in a rush. She had left so quickly once she had heard about Caroline.Jack also saw Cheryl's expression and asked, "Is that woman Corinne?""Yeah." Cheryl looked at the back of Corinne's car and said, "It's strange. She seems to be quite anxious. After finding out that Caroline is hospitalized, would she really be so kind as to rush to the hospital to see her?"Cheryl didn't believe that Corinne would be so kind. As she was talking, she heard the car screech to a halt. "Ms. Evans is in the hospital?"Cheryl couldn't help but laugh at how worried Jack was. "If Caroline were really hospitalized, I wouldn't be sitting here with you right now."Jack thought her words made sense and scratched his head in embarrassment. "I thought something had really happened to Ms. Evans."After that, Jack and Cheryl went for their lunch with p
"Yes," Corinne said gently. She looked at Caroline and carefully sat beside her. Seeing that Caroline wasn't resisting, she boldly said, "You're the daughter of the Evans family, Caroline. I'm your friend. We've been best friends since childhood."As she talked, she observed Caroline's expression. When she saw zero hints of suspicion on the latter's face, she sighed in relief."But I don't remember anything." Caroline looked at Corinne in anguish.Corinne was overjoyed and looked at Zavier for confirmation.After a moment's thought, Zavier explained, "Her symptoms are becoming more similar to dementia. I suggest giving Ms. Evans a thorough medical examination."Corinne said eagerly, "Of course. That's not a problem."Zavier glanced at Caroline briefly. Then, he said with a smile, "Since you've agreed to this, why don't you pay the bill for now?"Corinne almost passed out when she saw the hospital fee. It was 32 thousand dollars! She couldn't believe the hospital was charging h
Meanwhile, Sean and Kirk watched Corinne and Caroline leave from their spot nearby. Sean patted Kirk on the shoulder and said, "So, you guys called the ambulance in the middle of the night to make this look more believable. I thought something had happened to you, but I guess I was worried for nothing."Kirk glanced at the hand on his shoulder and remained silent.Caroline hadn't just done it for her plan; she had also done it to preserve his dignity.She had known that Sean would definitely find out about Kirk's hospitalization, and she knew that if Sean heard about it, Gwen would also find out. When that happened, it wouldn't take long for their entire circle of friends to find out. Therefore, Caroline could effectively save his reputation by doing this."Carol just left with Corinne. Corinne will most likely take her to the Evans family's residence. Will Carol be okay over there?" Gwen asked.In contrast to Sean's focus on the hospital, Gwen was concerned about Caroline. No
"Take care of her?" Sarah was upset. How ridiculous! There was no way she would take care of Caroline. It made more sense for Caroline to take care of her.Corinne looked at Sarah and knew what the latter was thinking. Then, she glanced at Caroline. Fortunately, Caroline was looking around curiously and hadn't heard their conversation.She quickly called a housekeeper over. "Take my best friend, Caroline, upstairs to change her clothes."When the housekeeper heard the words "best friend", she understood what Corinne meant and took Caroline upstairs.When Caroline left, Corinne dropped her friendly facade. "Remember, Mom. I made Caroline get dementia so we could get Evans Group back. "If you don't take care of her, everyone else will know of her condition and fight to take care of her comfortably. "If that happens, she might consider giving the company to someone else. "Mom, do you not want Evans Group anymore?"Sarah quickly said, "Of course I do, but—"Corinne gave her a loo
But in actuality, if Caroline had given it some thought, even just a little bit, she would have realized that something was off. Unfortunately, she hadn't. Therefore, she had only figured out the truth later.But even if she had known the truth, she wouldn't have been able to take revenge on Sarah and Dan for ruining her life. She would still have had to be a part of this farce with them.At this thought, Caroline felt a tinge of sadness. What made her feel even more powerless was that she still didn't know who her biological parents were or whether they were still alive.Just when Caroline was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door. She quickly masked her sadness and said, "Come in."Sarah walked into the room with a forced smile on her face. She looked even worse than a goblin.Caroline pretended not to notice it. Instead, she composed herself and looked at Sarah blankly.Sarah then realized that Caroline couldn't remember anything now because of her dementia."I'm Sar
