Desmond sat in the car. He looked up at the hospital entrance occasionally, probably to see if the director was there.Caroline strode over to the car in her high heels.Desmond recognized Caroline at a glance. "Ms. Evans."Caroline nodded slightly. "Can we chat for a while?""I'm waiting for someone.""I know." Caroline took out a document and tossed it to him. "Can you explain where your costly annual medical expenses come from?"Desmond panicked after just one glance at the documents. However, he was still a man who had been in prison, after all. He quickly calmed down and said somewhat arrogantly, "My relative gave it to me. Got a problem with that?""I didn't know Dan Evans was one of your relatives." As Caroline spoke, she tossed him another transaction record. Although different card numbers were used for each transfer, all of them pointed to one person, Dan.Desmond's expression shifted immediately. He tried to start the car, but he couldn't turn it on because he
It was only then that everyone noticed a woman in the parking lot.Thinking Caroline and Desmond were working together, Mr. Sherman said to the security guards, "Throw her out too.""Hang on, Mr. Sherman." Caroline walked up to the old man. She asked, "Even if you don't know me, you must know Dr. Yates, right?"Mr. Sherman nudged his gold-rimmed glasses and said disdainfully, "Of course. What about him? Are you going to say you're Dr. Yates' friend?""You're right. I am his friend."Mr. Sherman laughed. "Miss, many people have told me they're his friends when I walk by here daily. You liars can't just say that you know Dr. Yates because you know he's the largest shareholder in this hospital. Even if you know him, he doesn't know you, does he?"Caroline didn't expect Sean to be an investor in this hospital. She thought he was just a doctor."Go ahead and ask him yourself." Caroline took out her phone, dialed Sean's number, and handed it to Mr. Sherman.Mr. Sherman took her pho
Mr. Sherman hurriedly said, "Since he's your friend, we'll take him in. I'll get the obstetrics and gynecology department to get him registered right away."Caroline nodded slightly, then looked at Desmond again. "You'd better not pull any tricks on me."Desmond smiled wryly. "I willingly helped your father forge accounts for the sake of having children. After handing over these ledgers, I don't even care if I end up in jail again."Caroline thought someone like him was pitiful. He had taken the risk and gone against the law just to have a child of his own. She actually couldn't understand his feelings.Half an hour later, Desmond's wife, Ivy Baker, brought Evans Group's real ledgers to the hospital gate. When she learned that Victoria Hospital had accepted to help them, she was so happy that she hugged Desmond. The two cried tears of joy.However, when Ivy learned she had to give Caroline the real ledgers, she hesitated."Give it to Ms. Evans, dear. The hospital wouldn't take
When Kirk came home, he could feel that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy. With a smile, he hugged Caroline from behind.He asked, "Who upset you today, babe?" He knew that she had been looking for Desmond.Caroline pushed Kirk away. Her expression remained neutral as she said, "No one.""Then why do you look like you have a lot on your mind?" Kirk snatched the tomato from Caroline, picked up the knife, and cut it open."I do not." Caroline walked to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. When she returned to the kitchen, Kirk was already cooking. He said, "You're lying to me again." Then, he chuckled. "Just wait for now. I'll call you when I'm done."Caroline didn't leave. Instead, she leaned against the wall. As she watched Kirk get busy in the kitchen, she couldn't help blurting out, "Do you ever regret marrying me?"Kirk didn't even turn around as he asked, "Why are you thinking about that?""I remember that you wanted children very much. But after I told you th
Evans Group was a small company with a total of six shareholders. The company itself was the largest shareholder, but because a member of the Evans family was running for the position, Dan, the previous CEO, had no say in the situation.Only the five other shareholders could make the final decision. And among these five people, two were on Eddy's side. In other words, they were definitely on Layla's side.Hence, Caroline had to convince the other three people to support her. That's why she had gotten the real ledgers. They could recover the money people had cheated them out of with these ledgers too.Caroline had just finished tidying up when she got a call from Gwen. "Carol, I'll go wedding dress shopping with you later.""Don't you have work?" Caroline asked. "I have a two-hour break at noon. So, we can go over and have a look.""All right." Caroline had no hopes for the store Cook had introduced, but she still said, "I'll call you when I get off work at noon.""Okay."S
The bodyguard's arrogance made Caroline and Gwen frown in unison.Gwen whispered in Caroline's ear, "Why make such a big fuss? It's not like the queen is coming, right?"The store manager walked out when he heard the commotion. Seeing so many bodyguards, she hurriedly asked with a smile, "Who are you people?""We're Ms. Daphne's bodyguards. She's coming here to try on wedding dresses. You're the store manager, right?" The bodyguard looked down on his nose at the store manager. He ordered, "Hurry up and get rid of the irrelevant people. If we spread any news about this place, you might as well close these doors."The store manager asked, "By Ms. Daphne, do you mean Daphne Dawson?""Yes."When the store manager heard that Daphne was coming, she didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked the clerks to get the customers out of the store. Most people were having lunch at this hour, so there was only one other customer besides Caroline and Gwen. The customer immediately le
After calming down, Jane realized that she couldn't make a big fuss with a big star like Daphne around, so she resorted to yelling.Daphne thought Caroline looked familiar, so she asked casually, "Who is this, Mrs. Collins?""You still haven't noticed, Daph?" Jane said disdainfully, "This is Caroline, the woman who had the chance to marry Eddy and become a rich lady but chose to act high and mighty and marry an ordinary person."Everyone's expressions turned dark in response. They still had vivid memories of the events of the past few days. Caroline had stepped out to refute the rumors and say that there was nothing between her and Adrian and that, her husband was an ordinary person. There was no way she could afford to buy things from a store like this.Daphne was different now. She might have fawned over Caroline in the past, but now … "So, this is her." She rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "She does act pretty high and mighty.""Hey! Are you two done being condesc
Sean nudged his gold-rimmed glasses and answered honestly, "I'm from the Yates family."Jane thought for a while and couldn't think of anyone with that name who came from a well-off family.Furthermore, as the fourth party of the big four families, the Collins family could step all over anyone except the other big families. They only had to tread carefully around the Morrisons, the Sorkins, and the Hacketts.Jane didn't overthink it and laughed. "I can tell you're a refined gentleman, so you must have studied for a few more years. What's the use of studying so much? You still won't work for a big family like ours."Sean raised an eyebrow at her words. He was from a well-known family. His family had studied medicine for generations, and their behavior was excellent. This was the first time he had met someone like Jane. "You're being tyrannical …""Sean," Gwen interrupted him. "There's no point talking to a bunch of heartless, rich fools like the Collins family. They only care abo
