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

Standing up, Kirk walked and stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. He glanced down to look at the people milling about. To him, supporting another company was a piece of cake. He could help Caroline out, no matter what she wanted to do. It finally dawned on Charles why Kirk had wanted Evans Group's information back then. "If you help her, Evans Group will surely come back to life," he said. Kirk's back faced Charles, and he raised and shook a finger in the air. "Well, I think my wife can bring Evans Group back to life on her own." Kirk's judgment and premonition in business had always been error-free, but Charles didn't agree with him this time. It wasn't that he looked down on Caroline, but the problem that Evans Group faced was simply too big. Even for him, it was much too severe to handle. It would be easier to start a new business instead of taking it over. "You don't believe me?" Kirk glanced sideways at Charles, which almost made the latter jump in fr

All of them were shocked at this revelation. They hadn't expected the person he was waiting for to be Caroline. After the car sped away, one of the people in the crowd said, "Don't tell me that he's Caroline's husband. Otherwise, what kind of person who's rich enough to afford a Maserati would come to Thorne Corp just to be a chef?" "That's not possible. Caroline mentioned before that her husband is an ordinary person. How could a person with a Maserati count as ordinary?"He was both handsome and wealthy, and he was a head chef, so his culinary skills must be tip-top. If someone like him was considered plain and ordinary, everyone else was probably at the bottom of the social ladder."Maybe he's considered ordinary when compared to Eddy Morrison," someone suggested weakly, and the crowd went speechless. In the car, an apologetic Caroline told Adrian, "Sorry for not recognizing you at the cafeteria last time." "Apparently, my looks are pretty ordinary," Adrian replied teasing

Adrian opened the door, smiling at Caroline's reaction. The person in the private room raised his head to see Adrian and Caroline entering the room. "Ms. Evans, I presume?"Caroline nodded at him. The man was rather friendly and started introducing himself. "Quentin Yach, private detective. I've been working in this field for ten years. No one can surpass my abilities." His brief introduction amused her. "Pleased to meet you. Just call me Caroline." Adrian watched the two of them from behind.He joked, "Don't be so full of yourself. As the one introducing you two, I'd suffer from second-hand embarrassment if you somehow manage to embarrass yourself later." Quentin laughed out loud. "Worry not, Mr. Sorkin. If even I can't get a clue about something, then no human alive can." Caroline felt very relieved to hear him say that. "I want you to investigate my driver." "Oh? What do you want to know?""What happened was …" Caroline briefed Quentin about the incident and told hi

The company's intranet had never bustled with so much activity before. The first piece of news that caused the uproar was a picture of Adrian in his car. The second one was a picture of Caroline getting into his car. Before this, someone had already found out that the person in the Maserati was indeed Adrian, the second son of the Sorkins. Everyone was shocked to their cores to learn that he was the one they had always seen in the cafeteria. "This was a colossal mistake! Why didn't I realize sooner that he was the Sorkins' second son?" "I'm crying my lungs out. There's something wrong with my eyes. Why did I think he was just an ordinary person before this?" "Ladies, please stop your weeping. Adrian Sorkin's married Caroline already, so it doesn't matter if you met him sooner. He was married ages ago." "So that was why Caroline went to the kitchen back then! Just look at the way he looks at Caroline! Who knew that they had been together since the beginning?" "It's funny h
