The frustration on Corinne's face vanished the second she heard that. She looked at Caroline as a grin spread on her face. "That's right. Friends would always fulfill each other's requests. Caroline, that means you'll also fulfill my requests, right?""Of course!" Caroline replied without hesitation. However, before Corinne could smile, she added, "But I've forgotten many things. Even after you said you're my best friend, I still don't have any memory about it."In other words, Corinne had to do something to make Caroline believe she was the latter's best friend.Corinne laughed, not feeling awkward at all. "No problem. You want me to prove I'm your best friend, right? Okay, Caroline, I'll prepare all the fruits you asked for by the end of today."After saying that, she dragged Dan and Sarah toward the cold, leftover food. At that point, Dan couldn't take it anymore. "Cory, are you saying that you don't want to leave anymore?""Dad, didn't you hear what she said? Friends s
Corinne, Dan, and Sarah almost passed out after Caroline said that. But ultimately, they gritted their teeth and agreed. It took them two whole days to finish picking the fruits. During that time, all they ate was leftover food. At first, Corinne and her parents complained about it. But in the end, they were too tired to grumble. After all, they had started working as soon as they had woken up. When Corinne, Dan, and Sarah got into the car to return home, they were exhausted and couldn't feel any joy. Moreover, the feeling of being drained lingered for a couple of days. They finally recovered after the second day. Caroline took the opportunity to record their miserable state while they were looking for food at home.Subsequently, she sent the video in the group chat with her friends.Gwen was the first to reply. "Isn't that Sarah and Dan? What happened to them?" she asked. Caroline briefly explained everything. After Gwen learned about the situation, she immediately t
"Don't worry. I'll take it one step at a time."As Caroline sent that text, she heard footsteps outside. She immediately messaged, "I need to go now. I can't chat anymore."With that said, she deleted the chat history.Meanwhile, Cheryl and Gwen were together. Upon seeing Caroline's message, they couldn't help but worry."Is this really okay?" Cheryl asked with a frown.Gwen shook her head in response. "I'm not sure, either. Why don't we tell Kirk about this?"Since they couldn't help Caroline, Kirk might be able to. Cheryl answered, "That's a good idea."As soon as Cheryl gave the green light, Gwen called Kirk. At that moment, he was dealing with some matters. Seeing that an unknown number was calling him, Kirk hesitated momentarily before answering."Hello."Gwen said, "It's me—"Before she could finish speaking, Kirk's voice came from the other end of the line. "Someone's looking for you."Immediately after, the voice on the phone changed to Sean's. Gwen was rendere
Sean looked at Kirk. He couldn't help but feel as though he was staring at a stranger. He didn't think that was something Kirk would say. But he had seen and heard it with his own eyes and ears. He had no choice but to believe it."Kirk," Sean called out."If there's nothing else, you can leave now."After saying that, Kirk lowered his head and continued working. Sean was momentarily stunned upon seeing Kirk's cold behavior. It had been a long time since he had last seen this side of Kirk.Kirk hadn't acted this way since he had met Caroline. Yet now, the icy, mechanical, and workaholic Kirk had returned.Sean furrowed his brows and hesitated to speak. In the end, he left the room.Suddenly, the room fell into silence. Only then did Kirk stop working.He massaged his temples, then reluctantly picked up his phone to call Charles."Charles, Caroline is going to the hospital tomorrow. Keep a close eye on her. If she needs anything, step in to help her. And if she asks, just
Caroline frowned. "Really? But the feeling is very strong. Can I… not go in?""No, today is your follow-up examination. If you don't go in, how will the doctor do the check-up?" Corinne insisted. Caroline asked again, "But why can't we go to the previous doctor? I didn't feel scared in that hospital."Corinne didn't know how to answer that.After a while, she replied, "Because this hospital has the best medical expertise. Besides, I've booked the best doctor for you. Maybe you'll recover soon under his treatment."Caroline, don't you want to get better and regain your memories?"Caroline remained silent upon hearing that. "Come on." Corinne encouraged her. "You'll be fine. I'm here with you. No one will hurt you."Caroline couldn't help but think, "It's because you're here that there will be problems." However, she couldn't stay in the car any longer, either. If she didn't get out soon, Corinne would start to suspect her. So, Caroline fearfully got out of the car. She tri
Corinne was furious when she learned that Caroline had deceived her.However, in the next second, the doctor added, "She has early-onset dementia. It's different from regular dementia. Though she has forgotten about past events, she doesn't behave in a clueless manner."After hearing the doctor's explanation, Corinne finally understood. At the same time, she was relieved she hadn't lashed out at Caroline earlier. "Thank you, doctor."Corinne then said, "Let's go, Caroline."There was a hint of shock in Caroline's eyes as she looked at the doctor. After a while, she followed Corinne home. Once back, Caroline received a call from the doctor. He reminded her to share Sean's contact information with him.She was somewhat speechless. Caroline hadn't expected Sean's contact to be so useful. Meanwhile, Corinne told Dan and Sarah about Caroline's condition. Dan immediately said, "Then, hurry up! Get Caroline to sign the transfer agreement.""I've asked someone to prepare it. We
After getting the transfer document, Corinne went straight to Evans Group. As soon as she arrived, she told her assistant to set up a meeting. When the executives saw her determined expression, they were completely confused.Nevertheless, they followed her instructions and gathered in the meeting room. Once everyone was present, all eyes were on Corinne. She instructed her assistant to lock the door and took her seat.Instead of starting the meeting immediately, she waited for a moment before slamming Caroline's company transfer agreement on the table. Everyone was still confused.She picked up the transfer agreement and slowly held it up for everyone to see. "Do you see this? This is a transfer agreement for Evans Group from Caroline. In other words, from today on, Evans Group belongs to me!"Upon hearing that, everyone thought she had gone crazy. "How could Evans Group belong to you? No matter how stupid Ms. Evans becomes, she would never give it to you!""That's right!
At first, the executives stood up to Corinne and refused to acknowledge the agreement. However, as time passed, they became restless. The meeting room didn't have a restroom, and the executives were too embarrassed to relieve themselves in front of one another.Gradually, a few of them couldn't stand it any longer. They thought of how most of Evans Group's shares were in Caroline's name, whereas they just had a small share.If Caroline had already signed the transfer agreement, why should they resist it?Besides, if Corinne turned out to be difficult to work with, they could simply choose not to work with her.With those thoughts in mind, more and more of the executives began to begrudgingly accept it. Corinne watched them the entire time. She gauged their intentions from their expressions.However, she wasn't in a hurry. She patiently waited, like a predator stalking its prey. The executives exchanged looks, each of them hesitant to be the first to speak up.Corinne wasn't
