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
Evans Group was the only reason why Dan and Sarah had been able to live a comfortable life so far. Meanwhile, Evans Group wasn't making any profit because these two were embezzling money.If Evans Group appointed a new CEO, they would lose their source of income. Besides that, they might even be thrown into prison if the accounts were audited."I … I'll go apologize to Caroline!" Sarah got up, feeling at a loss.…Meanwhile, in Thorne Corp's design department, Caroline was in a brilliant mood. She had leveraged her sob story and managed to sever ties with Sarah and Dan.She called Gwen and said, "Let's go shopping tonight.""Wow! Great minds really do think alike. I just watched the video you posted. I was going to call you, but you got to me first." If they had been together, Gwen would have hugged Caroline. Caroline had truly won this battle beautifully!"You haven't answered my question." Caroline laughed."Sure, sure. I'll come and see you once I get off work.""Alright.
Soon after, the car took off on the road again. After a short span of silence, Gwen remembered the topic they hadn't finished discussing. She was about to continue when she pointed outside the car in sudden excitement."Carol, look at that Faromish restaurant there, quick! That's the place Kirk and I planned for your surprise proposal."Caroline noticed that Jack's eyebrow twitched when Gwen mentioned Kirk again. But she was too hung up on the proposal and didn't ask about it."Where?""Right there." Gwen pointed toward the front. "Do you want to go and have a look? But I suppose the decorations must have all been taken down."Caroline replied, "That's alright. I can imagine it.""Then let's go have a look.""Okay."Caroline asked Jack to park by the Faromish restaurant. When they got out of the car, Caroline and Gwen realized that the restaurant wasn't open.Gwen commented, "What a shame."Caroline chuckled and walked to the door. The door was made of glass, so she could s
None of the staff members came over to where Daphne was. None of them even turned to look at her.Daphne immediately became enraged. It seemed true that the entertainment industry was very realistic. Daphne hadn't seen Kirk since dinner that night. Many people had quietly asked her for information, but she couldn't even come up with a picture of them both together. Thus, some started doubting whether she was really married to Eddy's second uncle and started treating her coldly.Daphne's manager approached her and said lowly, "Don't tell me that Mr. Morrison never contacted you again afterward?"Daphne was already in a bad mood. When she heard this, she gripped her cup and was about to throw a tantrum. Just them she heard rushed footsteps coming from outside."M—Ms. Dawson. The head of the Collins family wants to see you!"Daphne was stunned. She immediately recalled that Howard Collins had called her a few days ago. She became overjoyed. "Where is he?""He—he's right outside!
At the villa, Kirk had already heard from Jack that Caroline had seen the proposal surprise at the restaurant. "You're home?" He stepped forward to hug Caroline. "Are you hungry?" Caroline smiled. "I'm not hungry. Guess what I saw today?"Kirk played along and thought about it for a moment. "Hm … I can't guess."Caroline took out her phone and held it out to Kirk. "I saw the restaurant you decorated for the proposal! It's so beautiful!"Kirk smiled as well. He kissed Caroline's eyelids. "Did you like it?""I did. But," Caroline seemed regretful as she spoke, "I would have liked it even more if those roses were still in bloom.""If you'd like that, then I could …" Kirk paused. "Discuss with the boss about switching out the roses.""There's no need." Caroline allowed Kirk to hold her as they sat on the couch. She reached out to circle her arms around Kirk's neck. She said seriously, "You said something to me this morning before going out. You said you'd give me a gift. Did
In contrast, Dan gave a loud, cold huff. "Help us? Don't you think you've thrown us in enough hot water?"Layla replied, "Uncle Dan, Aunt Sarah, I know what you're worried about. You've taken quite a lot of money from Evans Group over the years. So you're worried that the new CEO will find out about it. Once the board's other members find out about this, they won't let you off!"Sarah's and Dan's expressions shifted. "You …"Layla only smiled lightly. "Don't worry, I won't tell people about this. I'm on your side.""What's the point of having you on our side?" Dan scoffed."Of course there's a point. Because I'll definitely be the next CEO!"Sarah and Dan exchanged glances with each other."Uncle Dan, Aunt Sarah, if someone else ends up in that position, they will definitely expose what you have been doing. But I won't. Because I need your help.""Our help?""That's right! You know my situation with Eddy the best. Although Eddy wants to marry me, Mr. Morrison Senior is still
