The woman stared blankly at Kirk, who stood nearby, and her eyes turned red again. She put her head down and ran away.Caroline silently watched the woman run away."What's wrong?" Kirk had already finished his call. When he saw the employee running away, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.Caroline touched her face. "Do I look scary today?" Why had the woman cried after just a brief conversation with her?Kirk lowered his head and carefully looked at the makeup on Caroline's face. After a moment, he smiled and kissed her lips. "Not at all. In fact, you look adorable."Caroline pushed him away with a blush. "Cool it. Why did Dad call you?"The smile on Kirk's face disappeared. He said, "I don't know. He said he'll explain after we head there.""Let's go," Caroline said."Okay."The two went to Ivan's home. As soon as they walked through the door, they saw Avery sitting on the couch with a pale face. There was still a red mark on her face, courtesy of Caroline's slap a few days

"Stop!" Ivan yelled. He was trembling, obviously very angry. "It's very simple. Someone leaked Avery's drafts for the game concept, and that too, to a rival company. Now, that rival company has registered and published the game first, making Avery's efforts in the past six months for naught."He continued, "After investigation, the company found that the email used to send the drafts to the rival company belongs to Caroline.""How could it be me?" Caroline was stunned. Then, she smiled and said, "Until now, I didn't even know what Avery's job was, let alone what the rival company is."Avery bit her lips, a hint of distress appearing in her calm gaze. "I—I don't know. Anyway, the email the company found was yours. To tell you the truth, I don't believe it either. But the facts are right before me, so I must accept the truth."Caroline was genuinely impressed with Avery's superb acting. The entertainment industry was missing out on an actress like her."Okay, at the very least,

Lia's words were directed at Caroline. She was clearly saying that Caroline had no manners and didn't deserve Kirk.Caroline smiled patiently. When she spoke, her tone was gentle, but it contained a chilling hint of pressure. "Mrs. Mendeley, we haven't uncovered the truth yet, so you better not talk too much. Otherwise, it might backfire on you."Lia feared Kirk and Ivan, so she didn't dare to act impudently. Still, she didn't care about Caroline at all.Upon seeing Caroline still had the gall to refute, Lia's expression darkened.She didn't care about her status or seniority anymore. She retorted, "What do you mean by that? Avery's concept draft is on your USB drive! I've met plenty of stubborn people, but I've never met someone as stubborn as you."At this moment, Avery, who had been sobbing, said weakly, "Mom, that USB drive really isn't hers.""Avery, why are you still defending her at a time like this …""Mom, that's my USB drive." Avery frowned, about to cry again. "I only

In the surveillance footage, Kirk asked Caroline to leave. When she left, she happened to brush past Avery. The gap between them was so small that they couldn't see anything at normal speed, but they could see everything when Avery slowed down the footage. When Caroline brushed past Avery, she quickly reached into Avery's bag and took something away. If Caroline hadn't properly looked at the video, she wouldn't have noticed. At this moment, she finally understood why Avery was so calm. She had already tampered with the surveillance footage.Avery wasn't only cunning, but more importantly, she had the skills to back it up. She was a formidable rival.Caroline smiled brightly and asked, "Are you done watching the video, Ms. Mendeley?" Avery bit her lip, glancing at her mother. Lia was squinting at the surveillance video, but she hadn't noticed anything.Avery had no choice but to slow down the footage again. "Not yet. Let me watch it again."Caroline smiled slightly.At th

As expected, Ivan gave Caroline a look of appreciation after hearing her words.Upon seeing this, Avery angrily gripped the flesh of her thigh, wishing to rip the generosity from Caroline's expression.This ordeal had come to an end. The video continued to play, and soon they saw the moment when Caroline brushed past Avery.Charles slowed down the video, and everyone held their breath. In this video, Caroline didn't reach into Avery's bag at all.Lia was dumbfounded by what she saw. "What's going on? Did you tamper with the footage?"Caroline smirked. "You overestimate me, Mrs. Mendeley. I got this video from the restaurant that night, and I didn't do anything with it. You can check it out if you don't believe me."Kirk caressed Caroline's back languidly, saying playfully, "I think the truth is clear. Carrie didn't do anything."Avery was about to fall apart. She'd planned to use the surveillance footage to frame Caroline for being a thief and a vicious woman. Even if Kirk c

Caroline approached Avery and placed a hand on her shoulder. As she pretended to pull Avery up, she whispered in her ear, "Of course. I'm very happy …" Avery looked up at Caroline just in time to see the smirk on her face. Avert glared at her in hatred, wishing she could strangle her to death. Caroline was doing this on purpose! She was acting sensible in front of Kirk and wanted Lia to apologize!Caroline ignored Avery's murderous look and said, "You don't need to do this, Ms. Mendeley. I'm just rambling."Lia came back to her senses and pushed Caroline away. She helped her daughter up and said, "You fool. Why are you getting on your knees for her? Ivan …"Avery was worried that Caroline would pull another trick, so she hurriedly left, dragging Lia with her.Ivan watched them leave quickly, not bothering to ask Avery why she had gotten on her knees. He said, "Sorry for misunderstanding you, Caroline."Caroline turned back and said kindly, "Don't say that, Dad. Everything is

After the incident with the concept drafts, Avery hadn't shown up again for a long time. Caroline and Kirk could finally travel peacefully and have a nice vacation.Seeing the date of their return getting closer, Caroline started to prepare some gifts. She gave Gwen a call. "Hey, Gwen. I'm going home soon. What do you want me to buy?"They were good friends, so giving gifts was easy. They simply gave each other what they needed most."I heard that a company over there has recently developed a new phone called Dragon. It's specially made for games. But they won't launch it in Easton until they get marketing feedback from Celona. Can you help me bring one back here?" Gwen liked playing games, so she couldn't resist getting a phone specially designed for it."Sure. Hang on, let me take a look …" Caroline searched online and soon found the description of this phone. Her heart stopped when she saw that it was manufactured by SY Group.SY Group was the largest company in Sarcozia. I

Bryan seemed a little foolish. Yet, since Avery had also acted like an innocent fool, Caroline couldn't let down her guard. But she still politely invited him into her home.After Bryan entered the apartment, he didn't really know what to do."It's okay. Sit wherever you want," Caroline assured."This place is so cozy. I can't believe Kirk is actually married."Caroline smiled, handing him a glass of water. "Why? Does he look like a bachelor?""No, Kirk has been a workaholic ever since he was in school. Nothing could get his attention other than work," Bryan said.Caroline asked, "He started working during school?"Bryan realized that he had said something wrong. He looked down with a blush and said, "Uh … Well, Kirk did a little … business when he was in school."What he really meant was that Kirk started managing a company at the age of 12 and made the company famous within a year.Many people didn't know that the SY Group had suddenly emerged as the largest company in Sarco

Soon, Kirk and Caroline met up with Thomas. When he saw the two of them, his eyes turned bloodshot from the rage boiling within him. "You won!" He spat with so much force that it seemed like he had used up all his strength for it. "Things didn't have to come to this," Kirk said calmly as he sat down beside Thomas. Thomas snorted derisively. "Oh really? If you hadn't chosen to marry Caroline at such short notice, do you think Eddy would have died? You two were the cause of the tragedy!" Caroline didn't feel like talking anymore after seeing how foolishly adamant Thomas was. She gave Kirk a look, and he hummed in acknowledgment. When he turned to face Thomas again, his eyes were frosty "I'm here to tell you something," he said.Thomas let out a bark of scornful laughter. "Why? What else do you have to tell me, huh? Are you going to tell me that you have a child now?" "It's not about me and Caroline's child. It's about yours," Kirk stated plainly as he stared at Thomas

"Yes, it's true! Why would I lie to you about something so important?" Betty said. "This is wonderful! Marietta's wish has finally come true." Caroline turned to look at Marietta, who had just stopped by the door. Marietta was so shocked by the results that she was too stunned to speak. All she did was stare at Caroline in silence. Caroline opened her lips to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. She and Marietta stood facing each other, tears streaming down their cheeks. The next second, the two of them rushed toward each other and hugged each other as tightly as they could. The words that were at the tip of their tongues turned into tears at this significant moment. The others felt touched as they witnessed the mother-daughter duo's reunion. After some time, Betty broke the silence. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her 'Mom'!"Caroline had once used that word to address Marietta, but she hadn't known that Marietta was her biological mother back then.

Blushing, Caroline nodded. However, Kirk couldn't lift his head due to his injuries. So, Caroline took the initiative to bend over so that she was closer to him. Their lips touched. Yet before Caroline could get that warm, fuzzy feeling she always had when they kissed, she heard Gwen's voice. "Oh? Did we come at the wrong time?" Gwen grinned.It gave Caroline such a shock that she almost fell to the ground. Cheryl reacted quickly and gave Caroline an arm to hold on to for support. Steadying herself, Caroline stared daggers at Gwen, who giggled and placed the supplements she had brought on a table. Sean and Kirk started discussing what had happened that day, while Caroline led Gwen and Cheryl out of the ward. "Are you two back together?" Gwen asked. There was a sparkle in her eyes, which said enough about how eager she was to gossip. When Caroline nodded, Gwen patted her back gleefully and said, "Great! We all know how much Kirk loves you, even though he kept his ident

As Caroline mentally prepared to face death, there was a sudden, loud commotion. The noise was followed by gusts of wind that were so strong that no one could pry their eyes open to see what was going on. Still, Caroline could make out the silhouette of a helicopter above her. She had no idea what had happened next, though. …When she woke up, she was already lying on a bed in a ward. Beside her were Betty and Marietta, their eyes red and puffy from crying. When they noticed that Caroline was awake, the two of them shot up from their chairs."Carrie? You're finally awake!" Still groggy, Caroline forced herself to hum in response. After getting up, she grabbed Betty's hand and said, "Where's Kirk?" "He's fine," said Betty while wiping the tears off her cheeks. "He's in another ward, but he hasn't woken up yet." "Can I see him?" Caroline asked, tearing up. Betty nodded and asked Sean to push Caroline's wheelchair to the ward next door. Caroline couldn't hold back her

Kirk and Caroline hadn't even caught their breaths yet when they sensed a more intense attack coming their way. It didn't seem like these people were human. They seemed like monsters, bringing destruction wherever they went. Caroline watched the situation outside in concern. "Why hasn't Nightshade come back yet? Did he lie to us?" she asked. Kirk gritted his teeth and replied, "No, he wouldn't. They're all people from the dark web, and they're all honorable. Since he promised to bring the top two assassins, he'll definitely come back."As he spoke, he pushed her into a car. "But before that, you have to leave first," he insisted.Caroline noticed that his words were only directed at her. She grabbed his hand tightly. "What do you mean by that?"What did he mean she had to leave first?He replied, "Finn has sent over all his trump cards. If you don't leave, I have no doubt that he'll come here too. So, you need to leave now!" Caroline grabbed his hand. "We haven't gone to Ci

When she saw his reaction, Caroline couldn't help but smile. "What I mean is, let's head to City Hall to re-register our marriage certificate. The information we used to register our marriage before was all fake. "Can we update it with the real information now?"Kirk brightened up. "No problem."She looked at him and smiled again. However, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "Oh, I forgot about Thomas. Do you think he'll send someone to ambush us when we go to City Hall?"Kirk fell silent. He didn't want to change the plans, but he still said, "Then, let's wait for Nightshade to find the assassins—"Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out from downstairs. His face dropped, and he rushed to the window, where he saw two groups of people engaged in a gunfight. One of the groups was Thomas' men."What's going on?" Caroline asked as she got up from bed."Thomas must have found out that Nightshade left, so he took the chance to ambush us."Kirk led her to a

"If you make up with Kirk, I'll help you find them both."Caroline and Kirk were stunned to hear Nightshade's condition. Kirk had never expected Nightshade to say such a thing. Caroline was also in disbelief. She felt somewhat reluctant to agree to it."You don't agree?" Nightshade asked when Caroline remained silent. "Alright then, if you disagree, I won't look for them. Besides, Thomas is already planning to go all out against you. "When the time comes, I can escape. But what about you two?"Caroline looked at Kirk. "Thomas plans to go all out against us? You're not lying to me?"Kirk met her eyes and gulped. "No."She pondered for a moment, then looked at Nightshade again. "Do you really have a way to help us find the two assassins?""Of course.""Okay." Caroline lowered her head. "As long as you can help us find those two assassins, I'll agree to your condition."On the other side of the room, Betty and Marietta exclaimed excitedly when they heard her words. "Carrie, do

When Betty noticed how confused everyone looked, she said, "Oh, dear. Did you all forget?"Back then, when Marietta did the DNA test with that girl from the Hackett family—no, the fake Ms. Hackett—Caroline was the one who went to the restaurant with her."She continued, "Didn't we look through the footage from that day? Then, we called in the people who were at the restaurant that day to do another DNA test."Although they had unfortunately been unable to find Marietta's daughter, Betty still considered it a great effort. "We had thought that we had tested everyone. But there was someone who we didn't test!" Betty's eyes lit up as she looked at Caroline. Marietta immediately understood what she meant. She looked at Caroline with excitement, but she didn't dare to get her hopes up. "Caroline…"Caroline also looked at Marietta excitedly. "I… Aunt Mary… this… Is it possible?"Betty replied, "Why wouldn't it be possible? We tested so many people back then, and you were the only

Sarah was about to tell Caroline, but Dan stopped her."Don't tell her. Let her live in pain without ever knowing who her real parents are. Besides, do you really think she will get us the best lawyer?"Caroline wasn't upset that they hadn't taken the bait. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face. "You still have some sanity left."Upon realizing her trick, Sarah shouted angrily, "You liar!"However, she was taken away before she could shout more. Caroline watched as Sarah and Dan disappeared in the police cars. The feigned strength on her face finally disappeared. She might never find her parents in this life. But she didn't regret it. She tilted her head and glanced at Kirk, Cheryl, and Jack beside her. She had no regrets anymore.Even though she couldn't get her parents back, she was content that she had so many friends."Let's head back." Caroline's voice was weary. She needed a good rest, but there was still a tough battle waiting for her. The news about Caroline n
