Gwen sobbed. "Carol, I love you to death! When are you getting back? I'm going to treat you to a huge meal."

"Soon. I'll be going home in a few days."

"Doesn't that mean I'll get the phone very soon? Wow, I'll be the third person in the country to get a Dragon. Just thinking about it is exciting. When the time comes, I'll take my phone out every day at work. They'll all be jealous to bits when they see it!"

Caroline smiled as she put Gwen's phone back in its box.

"Carol, did you get gifts for your new colleagues?"

Caroline was just about to answer when Kirk opened the door and came in.

Caroline greeted Kirk and continued chatting with Gwen.

"I haven't decided yet. I asked about it yesterday and found out that most of the staff at the design department are women. I think I should probably buy makeup?"

Kirk looked at Caroline, who was so invested in chatting with Gwen. It only annoyed him more.

He walked to the coffee table and purposely made some noise.

But Caroline didn't ev

    Caroline waited in her room for a long time, but Kirk didn't come and try to explain himself. She felt wronged and pressed her lips together. She badly wanted to beat Kirk up.Right then, she received a message."Hello, Ms. Evans. This is the phone department of SY Group. We have a giveaway for a lucky attendee of the press conference. To thank you for your support of Dragon, we will gift you 50 Dragon phones."Caroline was speechless.There were a total of 42 members in the design department.Since SY Group had given her 50 phones in one go, she could definitely give the phones to her subordinates. Caroline wanted to thank Eddy's second uncle. But then she thought of what Kirk had said, and her excitement died down instantly.Forget it.It was better to buy him a meal when she had the chance to.She had to take Kirk along too. She would let him know that she didn't have any intentions regarding Eddy's second uncle!Besides, she'd already said that she didn't want to be invo

    After he said that, Kirk went up to the second floor.Lia couldn't help but smile when she saw Kirk go into Avery's room. She turned to Adam. "Look, wasn't I right? Kirk is interested in Avery. He just never realized it before."Adam folded his newspaper. "It's a shame that Kirk is already married. Anyone would want a great son-in-law like him."Lia pouted. "So what if he's married? Divorce rates are so high. Lots of people get married and then divorce. Besides, that woman isn't worthy of Kirk. She has no background and no education. All she has is her face. But what use is that? Kirk will get bored of it soon."As a man, Adam could agree with that. "If you say that, then our Avery has a chance."However, the atmosphere between Kirk and Avery on the second floor could be considered anything but friendly. It was tense, even. "You were looking for me?" Avery was a little mad.Kirk sat at the computer table and crossed his legs. He looked at Avery blandly. "Do you admit it?""Wha

    The return trip was scheduled for two days later. Ivan and the Mendeley family went to see Kirk and Caroline off. Only Ivan and Bryan were sincerely saddened by their departure. Adam and Lia had only shown up because they were family friends."Caroline." Bryan pulled her aside. "Avery has a gift for you, but she wanted me to give it to you in private. I'm not supposed to let Kirk know about it."Caroline had noticed Avery's absence, but she'd chosen not to question it. Now that Bryan brought up the topic, she couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't she give it to me herself?"Bryan scratched his head. "I asked. She said she couldn't show up in front of you. I don't know what that means. Anyway …"He handed Caroline an exquisite gift. "I've completed my mission."Caroline weighed the gift in her hands. It was rather heavy. She wondered what was inside, but she believed it wouldn't be anything good."Caroline." Bryan was blushing. "When will you be back again?"She replied, "I don'

    When Kirk went upstairs, he saw no one in the master bedroom. Pinching his forehead, he realized that making it up to Caroline would be tough this time.The next day, Gwen rushed to the villa during her lunch break."I thought you went home to your family when you shared the address." Gwen stared at the massive villa in disbelief. "Did Kirk buy this place for real?""Why would I lie to you?" Caroline led Gwen upstairs."I was worried that you might have spent a fortune on him because you fell for his body and his looks. But …" Gwen tutted. "Think about it—if a perfect guy like Kirk was willing to trade his body for money, you'd become upper class in no time!"Kirk's perfect body flashed across Caroline's mind, causing her to blush."You talk a lot of nonsense nowadays." She pushed Gwen to the guest room and said, "I'll get you the phone."Gwen noticed that there was only a new pillow on the bed. She gasped, "Do you sleep in separate rooms?"Caroline showed her the phone. "Do

    The morning sunlight scattered across the land and cast a golden glow on Kirk and Caroline through the door and windows. They looked like they were in a lovely oil painting.After a while, Kirk stopped in his tracks and smiled. Then, he entered his bedroom with her in his arms. She recovered from the shock and kicked hard to protest. "Kirk, stop fooling around! I need to go to work!"He took her into the bathroom. "I know. You probably wouldn't want to go to work looking like this, would you?"As he spoke, they reached the mirror. She saw her blushing face and the sultry look in her eyes. Embarrassed, she wanted to dig a hole to hide.He grinned and placed her in the bathtub. "Take a bath."She was reluctant to listen to him, but she had to take a bath to wash away the desire and lust. When she emerged from the bathroom, she changed into a black suit.He narrowed his eyes at her new look. She stayed a distance from him and announced, "I'm heading to work."Then, she quickly we

    Vivian clenched her fists. After a moment, she sashayed out of the office.Susan hurriedly followed behind her.Once they left, Cheryl couldn't help but look at Caroline. Her eyes were shining. "Ms. Evans, you're amazing!"Cheryl had only started working here two days ago. Since she was a newbie, Susan had frequently bullied her. Yesterday, Cheryl had heard the older staff say that Caroline was an inexperienced person. They had also said that Caroline had only gotten the position of Design Director due to her connections with the Morrison family. Apparently, Vivian would certainly give Caroline lots of trouble too.Cheryl had felt hopeless thinking about her superior being bullied. When she had come to work today, she'd planned to resign in a few days if things didn't work out.Who would have thought Caroline was so unrelenting?She was also completely different from what the others had said. Caroline didn't seem like someone who didn't have working experience.Caroline smil

    The person who spoke saw that Vivian had come over and happily walked over to her, acting like a proud puppy. "Viv, Caroline bought us fake Dragons to get on our good side. What a joke!"Vivian had heard about this Dragon thing too. Many people around her wanted to get one, but they weren't available locally. Even overseas, one had to make a pre-order.She huffed softly. "Only those who don't work hard rely on such tricks."After she said that, Caroline's office door slowly swung open.Caroline saw that the phones hadn't been given out and asked Cheryl, "What's wrong? Does nobody want them?"Cheryl was so angry that she started crying. As she sobbed, she said, "Ms. Evans, they all said that these phones are fake!"All of these people were just too mean to Caroline. Caroline frowned. She looked over at Vivian and guessed what had happened. She gave a light laugh. "These are gifts. If they don't want them, I'll take them back."Seeing how calm Caroline was, Cheryl found her own

    The results loaded quickly, revealing the phone to be genuine.When Vivian saw this, her face turned pale.Everyone else was shocked too. They suddenly felt like they'd suffered a loss.This phone was being sold for three thousand dollars for pre-orders. It would cost more than ten thousand dollars, at least locally. They had lost out on something so valuable just because they didn't dare offend Vivian.When Cheryl saw how everyone was looking at Vivian viciously, she smiled brightly. "Ms. Evans, I'll take all these phones back then.""Sure, alright." Caroline nodded.The others could only watch hatefully as Cheryl took the phones away.When Jules saw this happening, he couldn't help but see Caroline in a new light.It was a decision from higher up to choose Caroline as the Design Director. And this position would be hers for life. Honestly, he had suspected Caroline's capabilities too. Although she was exceedingly skilled in design, she had no other work experience.That

    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
