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

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
