"Ignore him." Gwen coldly swatted Sean away, but her face was slightly red. She said, "We're still not boyfriend and girlfriend.""Then, what are you both doing?""We're on three-month probation. If we pass the probation, we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend.""How interesting." Caroline lowered her head and chopped the vegetables. She ordered, "You guys should talk outside. You'll get in the way if you stay crowded in here."Kirk refused, "I can help you!"Caroline pushed him out of the kitchen. "No thanks."Kirk refused to let up, but Caroline heartlessly kicked him out of the kitchen, closing the door behind her."Darling," Kirk opened a gap in the door and asked, "I just want to ask one question. I'll leave you alone after that.""What?""Did you buy the grapes?"Caroline blinked in confusion. She said, "Yeah, I did. Why?"Kirk smirked. He said nothing else, but Caroline could tell he was pleased. She didn't understand him. Men would be happy with the simplest things.
"What's wrong?" Sean asked.Gwen also noticed that Kirk wasn't in a good mood. She asked, "Is it about Carol?"Kirk glanced at them and said calmly, "It's nothing. Don't tell Carrie anything if you hear something on the phone. She's been tired all day, and I want her to rest."Gwen and Sean looked at each other and nodded obediently.When Caroline yelled that dinner was ready, everyone enthusiastically set the table with plates and cutlery. "Eat up," Caroline said. She was the last to sit down.Kirk was the first to move. He picked up a piece of halibut and put it on Caroline's plate. "Good job, darling."Caroline glared at him. She said, "Sean and Gwen are still here."Gwen and Sean said in unison, "Don't worry about us. We'd rather eat crap than let him give us food."Caroline couldn't help laughing at how in tune they were with each other. "It seems that Sean's probation will be over pretty soon."Sean said proudly, "Look, Kirk, Carrie has a way with her words."The four
Kirk looked at Caroline, feeling bad for her. But he had to let her go. If he wanted to keep Caroline by his side, he had to make her stronger. In this world, only love between two equal people could last.Kirk kissed her forehead and asked, "When all of this is over, I'll buy you a gift. It can be whatever you want."Caroline thought for a moment before saying, "I haven't thought of what I want yet. I'll let you know when I do.""Okay."Caroline left her house with a smile. As soon as she reached the door, she put on a mask and frowned as if she were really sad.When Kirk saw her actions from the window, he wanted to chuckle.As Caroline approached the car, she noticed two other cars parked behind Jack's. She got into the car cautiously and asked Jack, "Mr. Jack, why are there two cars behind us?"Jack was getting better at lying now. He said smoothly, "The company saw many people slandering you online. They were worried about your safety, so they sent some bodyguards to prot
"Ms. Evans, we have arrested the man who attacked you the other day.""Oh, so soon?" Caroline was quite surprised. She thought it would take the police three days to solve the case."Yes," The policeman on the phone chuckled. He'd had no choice. His superiors said that this case was important and that the suspect must be caught as soon as possible. Yet he didn't know what was so important about it."All right. Thank you." Caroline hung up and sent a message to Brittany. Then, she looked up at Layla. She said, "This is a workplace. Unauthorized personnel should leave immediately."Vivian took Layla's hand and argued, "Caroline, how can you say such heartless words to your cousin? She came to visit because she was worried about you. It's rude of you to kick her out like this."The smile on Caroline's face faded. She said dismissively, "This doesn't concern you. You've overstepped again and again. It'll be bad if I don't give you a warning.""Warning?" Vivian scoffed. "What kind
"That explains why Caroline cut them out of her life. If it were me, I would've moved to another country immediately!""I feel so bad for Caroline. Now I understand why she married an ordinary person. When you have crazy parents, one of the best ways to get them out of your life is to get married.""That's right! Even though her husband is an ordinary person, at least he won't harm her!"Netizens weren't the only ones who expressed compassion for Caroline. Everyone in the office also looked at Caroline sympathetically. They hadn't expected things to turn out like this.Realizing that the atmosphere in the office had changed, Vivian panicked. She grabbed Susan's phone and read the post. When she was done, she looked at Caroline with a pale face. "No!"Layla also read the post on Facebook, and her expression was dark. She said grimly, "You're really amazing, Caroline. You hired Star King PR to handle your case. They can clear the name of even the most scandalous celebrities."C
Caroline was confused now. "But Jack said that the company had sent those bodyguards.""Jack? Who's Jack?"Caroline asked, "Didn't you hire a driver for me?"Jules stared at her, puzzled."You didn't hire him?" Caroline asked, frowning.Jules' mind was muddled at the moment. He only knew that Caroline was Eddy's fiancée and nothing else. As he thought about it, he felt like Kirk might be involved, but Caroline wasn't aware of who handled things behind the scenes. Perhaps Kirk didn't want Caroline to know about it.Jules understood it now, but he didn't know how to turn the situation around. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Oh, I must be getting old. You're right. I did hire a driver for you. His name must have slipped my mind. That's why I didn't realize who you were talking about. So his name is Jack."Jules' explanation was quite reasonable, so Caroline said nothing else."If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Is that okay?" Jules looked at Carolin
Sure enough, everyone sympathized with her after that video was released. No one blamed her for her actions at all."Caroline is too kind. She's still speaking up for her parents at a time like this. She wouldn't break ties with her family if she hadn't been hurt like this.""It's even more terrifying when you put it that way! Sarah kidnapped Caroline and tried to ruin her reputation, causing her to be hated online. I don't even want to imagine what would happen if the truth wasn't revealed!""Caroline is right for leaving her parents. She should sever ties with them. They're too scary!""I strongly urge her to do that as well!""I really want to give Caroline a hug. She's been through so much!"Looking at the comments online, Kirk curved his lips into a smile.Charles breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. His time at work today had many twists and turns.At first, he'd thought Kirk would give him a dreadful scolding, but unexpectedly, his boss just had a dark expression.
Ivan's voice was sharp. It was a little out of control.Kirk held back the smile on his face. He said proudly, "Of course she is.""But you never told me that she's Giselle's granddaughter!""Giselle? Giselle Cassidy?" Kirk narrowed his eyes and deduced, "You know Caroline's grandma?"Ivan let out a long sigh. "If I remember correctly, Caroline is the wife your uncle had arranged for his grandson. And you married …"Kirk's face darkened as he cut Ivan off. "Carrie has nothing to do with the Morrisons. She's married to me. She's not someone else's fiancée."Ivan protested, "Your uncle will never agree to your marriage with Caroline!""How do you know that?"Ivan sighed, "Because Caroline is very important to him.""She's more important to me than my own life." Kirk said coldly, "I won't let anyone take her away from me, even if it means I'll lose my life."Seeing his son's devotion to Caroline, Ivan stopped trying to persuade him.After hanging up the phone, he sighed helpl
