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

Caroline could distinctly feel Kirk's displeasure. She guessed that he really disliked the fact that she still had ties with Eddy. Thus, she explained patiently, "Grandpa has always been good to me. I can't reject his invitation."Kirk smiled as he brushed Caroline's hair aside. "I'm not mad. It's just that Mr. Morrison Senior still cares so much about you, even though we're already married. Don't you find it strange?"Caroline was silent for a moment before sighing. "Actually, I've always wondered about it. Grandpa treats me with the kind of unconditional love that goes beyond being related by blood. Maybe I look like some relative of his who died young. Do you think it's possible he's so nice to me because of that?"Perhaps Jude's love for Caroline stemmed from that?Kirk smiled slightly. He had no desire to look into Jude and the rest of the older generation's affairs. But if Jude stepped too far …"Maybe. You could ask him about it tomorrow night.""Okay." Caroline nodded

When Jude looked over at him, Eddy no longer expressed rejection. He nodded lightly.Seeing this, Jude was relieved. He looked over at Simon. When Simon received the signal, he bent over and said a few words into Jude's ear. Jude laughed and said, "Carrie, the owner of this place is my good friend. He's asking me to take a look around. You and Eddy can wait for me here."Caroline could tell that Jude was giving her and Eddy a chance to be alone together. Before, Caroline would have been grateful for it. But now, there was really no need for it.Some things couldn't be forced. Plus, she already had a good man of her own.Jude didn't wait for Caroline's response. With Simon's help, he swiftly walked out. Once he left, only Caroline and Eddy were left in the private room.Caroline didn't want to talk to Eddy. She got up and stomped her feet. After a pause, she opened the door and got out.Outside the private room, the landscaping was very peaceful, with flowing water and thick s

Frowning, Caroline turned around to find that Eddy had followed her.Adrian also spotted Eddy. Faced with Osbury's most respected scion, he nodded indifferently. "Eddy.""When did you get here?" Eddy asked as he reached out for Caroline. He wanted to show that Caroline was his, but Caroline shook him off. She even moved to stand behind Adrian, obviously unwilling to stand with Eddy.Eddy was sure that she was doing this to make him mad. His gaze darkened as he looked at her in warning.Adrian must have noticed it, or perhaps he was only behaving absentmindedly, but he moved slightly to block Caroline behind himself.Even so, the brilliant smile on his face remained flawless. "I just got here. We should meet up sometime.""Sure." Eddy clenched his fists. To Caroline behind Adrian, he said, "Come here."Caroline didn't want to use Adrian as a shield. Thus, she walked out from behind Adrian. "Eddy, you seem to have forgotten once again that our engagement was called off a lon

Caroline bought some cold and fever medicine before rushing home. When she got there, she immediately went upstairs to look for Kirk. "Have you checked your temperature?" Caroline asked. Her tense expression cleared slightly when she saw Kirk looking as he usually did on the bed. She put her hand on Kirk's forehead to check the temperature.Caroline frowned. "You don't seem to have a fever.""Really?" Kirk smoothly pulled Caroline into his embrace."I tested my temperature three times. It was 100 degrees Fahrenheit all three times. Maybe the fever subsided because I took some medicine."Caroline was a bit suspicious. "Then let me get the thermometer and measure it again.""No need." Kirk buried his face in the crook of Caroline's neck. "You're my medicine. Since you're home, I'm not sick anymore.""It seems you really have a fever. You're even talking nonsense." Caroline pushed him away in a huff. "I was in such a rush to get back that I even forgot to tell Grandpa I was

When Caroline walked into the office, her colleagues seemed livelier than usual as they greeted her in a flurry. Nothing had changed, and yet everything had changed. Caroline played with the pencil in her hand, still thinking about Jack. He seemed like a loyal and honest man, not some bad person. But why had he lied about the company hiring him?She had wanted to ask him about it many times when she'd been in the car this morning. In the end, though, she didn't. After keeping it a secret for so long, Jack surely wouldn't just tell her so easily. If she asked about it, he would get suspicious. She had better wait until Adrian found her a private investigator to check it out.Speak of the devil. As Caroline drank some water, she received a text from Adrian. It read, "Found a private investigator. Free to come out and meet tomorrow night?""Sure," Caroline texted back. "Alright," came the reply.Caroline didn't respond anymore. Instead, she turned on her computer and started t

However, to everyone's surprise, Vivian only tilted her chin up slightly. She said, as if forced to, "Congratulations, Ms. Evans."The scene made many people drop their jaws in shock. They couldn't believe that Vivian would say such a thing. After all, everyone knew how lowly Vivian thought of Caroline.Caroline frowned slightly as she looked at Vivian, but the latter only smiled. "Indeed, I disliked you a lot back then. But since you even won the Rosebow Contest, this means you have received the acknowledgement of those in the field. If I don't acknowledge your skill now, I'd be going against everyone."Vivian spoke sincerely, but Caroline didn't buy it. She didn't think someone could change their mind so easily. The strangest thing was that she had never even sent in a design to the Rosebow Contest. How could she win first place, then?"Thank you, but …""Today is such a great day," Vivian said, interrupting Caroline. "Since Ms. Evans won the Rosebow Contest, shouldn't she

At once, Sean looked over at Kirk.Kirk leaned in his seat casually, with one arm stretching out over Caroline's shoulder. The threat was clear in his smile."What are you looking at me for? Your wife's asking you.""What wife?" Gwen glared at Kirk. Then, she turned to look at Sean. "Is my question so tough to answer?""Alright." Sean glanced at Kirk, his expression pained. "Sorry, bro. For my wife, I have to throw you under the bus."Kirk only looked at Sean with a smile.Sean braced himself and said, "Actually, before meeting Carrie … Kirk, he … was a vir—"Caroline had been taking a sip of her drink. When she heard this, she couldn't help but spray the drink out in surprise. The droplets landed on Sean. Sean, an innocent who had suffered unjustly, glanced over at Caroline dejectedly.Caroline quickly pulled out some tissues and gave them to him. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really didn't expect …" She glanced at Kirk as she spoke. "Were you … really?"Kirk's face was pa
