Daphne was very pleased as she said, "Mr. Collins, please don't joke. Maybe his subordinates just never passed the message to him."Harold didn't continue pursuing this subject. "Mrs. Morrison, my wife bought some newly released bags recently. I'll have my staff send you some, alright?""How could I possibly accept your gift, Mr. Collins?""Oh, but this is a gift to thank you. If you don't accept it, I'll feel bad about getting to meet Mr. Morrison.""Well, since you've put it like that, I can only accept it."After some more chitchat, Daphne and Howard finally ended their call. Daphne couldn't help but whoop in joy. It was wonderful. Just wonderful. Good days were finally coming for her!…After dinner, Caroline and Kirk took the same car home. On the way back, she laid her head on his shoulder. She asked, "Do you feel like Gwen and Sean's relationship is getting better?"Kirk caressed Caroline's waist and said, "That's all you sensed?"Caroline looked up at him nervously

Jack had been through a lot of life-or-death situations. But when he heard this, he was so scared that he started sweating bullets. "Sir, what have I done wrong?"Kirk leaned back in his seat. "You haven't done anything wrong. But after tonight, Howard Collins won't have people tailing Caroline anymore. So you can also go back to your usual post."Jack finally relaxed. "Yes, sir.""Your performance during this time has been good. Once you get back, I'll reward you generously for it. But remember, you must keep quiet about everything that happened during this time.""Thank you, sir," Jack replied. "Don't worry. I won't say anything."After that, Kirk stepped out of the car. By the time he got inside the villa, Caroline had already turned on her computer."It's already so late. Why aren't you going to sleep? What are you looking at?" Kirk sat on the armrest of the chair Caroline was in. He massaged her neck gently, looking at the screen.Caroline didn't even look up. However, sh

Time passed by slowly. As it did, Howard became so nervous that he started sweating.After a long time, Kirk said unhurriedly, "I heard you've had someone following Caroline Evans?"Howard's expression shifted when the topic suddenly turned to Caroline. He didn't know what Kirk meant by this.Kirk looked up at Howard. "Don't dare to admit to it?""It's not that." Howard felt pained. "I'm only having Caroline followed because my daughter's condition has something to do with her husband."Kirk tapped the ashtray against the table, creating a crisp noise. "I'm not here to listen to your sob story. My uncle is exceedingly fond of Caroline. If you're looking to give her trouble, you should be more careful."Howard's face turned white. Kirk was making himself very plain now—Caroline was someone Kirk was protecting."Yes, I … I won't dare to do such a thing again.""If you'd like to partner with me and make money, that can be forgiven. However, you must remember not to offend th

Sean became anxious. "Don't. Let me go instead. It's so late at night, it's not safe for a woman to go out alone.""But staying home …" Before Caroline could finish speaking, she heard the sound of a car downstairs. She hurriedly stuck her head out the balcony to see that it was Kirk's car. With that, her heart finally dislodged from her throat. "Kirk's home. I'm going downstairs now."When he heard this, Sean sighed on the other end of the line.The second Caroline went downstairs and saw Kirk coming in, she threw herself into his embrace. "Where did you go?"Kirk was stunned by the sudden impact. Then, he tightened his arms around Caroline's waist. Laughing, he said, "I had to deal with something at the company. What is it? Did you have a bad dream?"Caroline's eyes stung as she sniffed. "Why didn't you leave me a message?"Kirk's heart softened, his tone becoming gentler. "Did I scare you?""You didn't answer when I called, and you didn't leave a message. Of course I was

Cheryl entered the office slowly and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Caroline, I was at the lounge just now, and I heard Susan say that your design that won the prize was the same as Vivian's!" Caroline paused what she was doing and asked, "Did she really say that?" "Yes." Cheryl couldn't believe it either. "It can't be true, right?" "What she said is indeed true," said Caroline, crossing her arms. "What else did she say?"Astonished, all Cheryl could say was, "Why are you …" Caroline merely smiled at the speechless woman before her. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Susan barged into the room, huffing and puffing like a volcano that was about to erupt. She pointed at Caroline and yelled, "Caroline, you're so shameless! How could you take Viv's design for yourself to join the design contest? This is plagiarism! You're trying to take away what's supposed to be hers!" Behind her, the hypocrite, Vivian, stepped in to say, "Susan, that's enough. Maybe it's just

The onlookers around them locked their eyes on Susan and Vivian's pale faces. There was something in their eyes that unsettled the two women. "How could this be? Did Vivian purposely send her design using Caroline's email just to accuse her of plagiarism?" Someone pondered aloud. Another person clicked her tongue and said, "This is creepy. It gives me goosebumps." Someone else asked, "Was it truly necessary? Didn't Vivian claim that Caroline was totally inexperienced back then? Why is she using foul play?" Vivian heard what her subordinates said. Their words were like blades cutting at her back. She clenched her fists, her fingernails digging into her palms. "I really don't know what happened. I only came to your office to place some documents," she said, unwilling to give in to the pressure. "If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage again. I'm sure of it." A small smile appeared on Caroline's face, and she stared at Susan. "If it isn't Vivian, it s

Dismissal was the worst thing that could happen in one's career. Getting sent to jail meant that she would never get a chance at another job in the future. Vivan crouched and helped Susan up, with sympathy written all over her face. Yet her eyes had a sharp and sinister gleam to them."When you're in there, remember that there are things that you should and shouldn't say," she whispered. Then, Vivian raised her voice and said, "Susan, you've been by my side for so many years. How could you do this?" Sighing, she added, "Follow the rules when you're in there. When you've turned a new leaf and are released in the future, I'll surely give you a new job so that you can start anew." By saying this, Vivian emphasized her position as a superior who was kind and gracious. The police officers came soon after and took Susan away with them. Peace was finally restored in the office. No one dared to stay and watch any longer, and all of them went back to their spots to continue their wor

"T—taking over your family business?" Jules asked, stupefied. Wasn't Evans Group gone for good? It shouldn't even count as a company now, right? "Yes," Caroline confirmed."Um, Caroline, don't be impulsive. To be frank, I don't like the way she does things either, but you shouldn't be giving up your career because of someone insignificant." Jules tried to persuade her to stay. "Vivian is only a small part of the reason. The main reason I'm leaving is because Evans Group will be electing its new CEO next month. I'm thinking of reviving the company." She might not be able to restore it to its former glory from her grandfather's time, but she'd be content enough to pick it up from the ashes and give it a chance. For a moment, Jules was stunned. "But I heard that Evans Group was in a constant state of loss. Are you sure about this?" "I've made up my mind about it." Caroline handed the resignation letter to him and added, "It is my wish that you'll give me your approval." Jules
