The arrangement for Caroline to meet Sloan went quite smoothly. It was just that when she saw him, she couldn't help but frown.They were meeting on a yacht. It was a place of questionable behavior, where men and women were entwined together, ignoring others as they kissed. Since it was still daytime, it was especially hard to stomach.Caroline looked straight ahead as a staff member led her through. Finally, she saw Sloan in the midst of some female models. He had obviously been drinking too much and was in a party mood.The staff member went forward and said, "Mr. Mackey, Ms. Evans is here."It took a few repetitions for Sloan to finally turn and look at Caroline, his eyes squinting. Now, he didn't look like he'd been drinking a lot, but rather …Caroline looked toward the table. On it, there were several bags that were still stained with powder.Her chest tightened, but her expression didn't change. She said, "Mr. Mackey, I'm here to talk to you about Evans Group's affairs."
At this moment, Liam was in a meeting at the company. When he heard that Caroline wanted to come over, he immediately agreed to it.When Caroline arrived at Mackey Group, Liam had just finished his meeting. "A rare visitor you are, Ms. Evans." Liam led Caroline into his office. "What brings you here today?"Caroline sat on the couch by the coffee table. "Nothing much. It's just that Evans Group will be choosing a new CEO soon, and I hope I can get your support." She spoke blandly, as if she were discussing the weather.Liam was stunned for a moment before he started laughing. "Ms. Evans, you're going to compete for the position of Evans Group's CEO? I didn't expect that. You were always just the little girl running after Mr. Eddy. Now it seems you're going to be an independent woman."Caroline couldn't tell if Liam was teasing or mocking her. She looked at him unblinkingly as she smiled. Liam coughed awkwardly. "Evans Group getting a new CEO is an internal matter. I have
The assistant was nervous as he asked, "Sir, what does Caroline Evans mean by this?"Liam's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't know either. He had never interacted much with Caroline before.He only knew that she was a brainless sort of woman. Jude Morrison had always been supportive of her becoming Eddy's wife, but she had given up on that opportunity.After some thought, Liam made a call to Layla and waved his assistant off.The assistant quickly went outside.Layla answered just as the door closed. "Your guess was right, Ms. Evans. Caroline Evans indeed came to see me."Layla was currently playing cards. When she heard this, she smiled in satisfaction. "I see. What did she say?""She said she would acquire my company within half a year and pay more than the market price."Layla burst into laughter, causing her friends to look up and ask, "What, are you going to win?"Layla snickered. "No, I just heard a very funny joke." As she said this, she got someone to take her place in th
Jules was stunned. "You want to recommend Vivian?""No." Caroline shook her head. "When it comes to work, Vivian is flawless. But she's just too envious of others. If you can't find anyone in a pinch, you can have her take the position for the time being. But my suggestion is that you should find the right candidate as soon as possible to fill such an important post."Jules smiled a little. "Honestly, I was still worried that you wouldn't be able to handle the position of Evans Group's CEO. But after hearing you say that, I think Evans Group will only grow bigger and better in your hands."Caroline looked at problems with an unbiased eye. She didn't consider her own likes or dislikes. She could even be so fair toward Vivian, who had caused her problem after problem. It was a rare thing.Caroline answered, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Hawkins. I'll go back to my office now.""Alright."When she got back to her office, Caroline saw Cheryl's eyes red from crying. "What is i
Once Caroline settled matters regarding Evans Group, she had much more free time for a few days. Just as she had nothing to do, she received a call from Gwen."Carol, I have tomorrow off. Do you want to go and pick out a wedding gown together tomorrow?"When it came to buying a wedding gown, Gwen was even more excited than Caroline was. Caroline smiled. "Sure.""Didn't you want to have your pictures taken in Macovo? I heard it snows there all year. Do you want to take ski equipment there too?"Caroline wasn't sure about it. "I don't think we have that much time there."Hearing this, Gwen said, "That's true. But I would really love to go with you to take your photos."Caroline teased, "You really want to go?""Yes.""Then why don't you quickly make Sean official?"Gwen scoffed. "I'm not talking to you anymore. I've noticed you're biased toward him."Caroline smiled. After she hung up, she finished work and went home.Kirk had come home early today, and he had cooked. When
The next day, after Caroline and Gwen met up, they went straight to Merry Color. As for Sean and Kirk, they had both been dumped at home. In Sean's words, they had become latchkey kids.Soon, Caroline and Gwen arrived at Merry Color.When she saw Caroline, the new store manager quickly went forward. "You must be Mrs. Yates. Mr. Eddy said that you can choose any dress in the shop as long as you like it."Caroline and Gwen exchanged a glance and chuckled at the same time. The manager didn't know why they were laughing. She led them both to pick out wedding gowns.Then, she moved away for a moment. Gwen went up to Caroline and said with a chuckle, "I wonder how Eddy would react if he found out you were the Mrs. Yates he was talking about."Caroline smiled for a moment before frowning. "Gwen, stop getting Sean to pretend to be my husband next time.""What are you afraid of?" Gwen knew what Caroline was worried about. "Our relationship isn't that fragile. Besides, I trust you 100%
Caroline said, "Yes.""My god, I really can't believe it. Carol, you're amazing."Caroline was a bit annoyed as she said, "I'm not 100% sure, though. Don't praise me just yet.""No, but you're already amazing for daring to take over a company. Some people don't dare become bosses like this. Me, for example. I wouldn't dare do such a thing. Just thinking about all the issues a company faces gives me a headache!"Caroline replied, "Managing a company really is quite difficult. Besides, I don't have much experience with it. But I don't want my grandfather's company to be ruined just like that."Although Caroline didn't much remember Benjamin Evans, they were still family."You're right about that." When it came to the Evans family, Gwen found it kind of sad. She had been young back then, but she could still remember a bit about what had happened. Whenever the adults had spoken about the Evans family back then, they had been reverential and fearful. Now, they were mocking.The d
Quentin's hair was messy and frizzy, and he had dark, heavy eyebags. It looked like he hadn't slept in many days.Adrian tugged at him. It was then that Quentin noticed Caroline. But his expression was frozen, and he couldn't even smile at her."No, I can't anymore. I'm exhausted. I need to sleep first." With that, Quentin slumped to the ground.Neither Gwen nor Caroline had ever seen him like this before. Curiously, they asked, "What happened to him?"Adrian gave the passed-out Quentin a kick. Then, he called some of the employees to move Quentin to the third floor. After that, he answered, "He's been investigating something. He hasn't stopped for three days and hasn't slept in all that time. Now he needs to catch up on sleep. You …"Adrian shot a glance at Caroline's shopping cart. "Do you still have any more books to buy?"Gwen quickly answered, "There's one more: 'The Essence of Management.'" Since he was familiar with the layout, Adrian led them to the C section and pu
