"I've told you. Caroline's joining the election this time just to give us something to laugh at. Even if she has two shareholders backing her up, it's still useless. It's obvious who we should be siding with just by looking around."

"Yeah. Caroline's idiocy is hilarious. She actually thought that someone would take her side. The shareholders aren't fools. They'll surely support Layla now."

"Layla has Eddy's support. Who does Caroline have to back her up? Her good-for-nothing husband?"

Eddy was speechless when he heard them gossiping. At least these people had the common sense to lower their voices and control themselves a bit since he was present.

Caroline didn't hear what they said, though. She was still busy looking through the documents and jotting down something when the room turned silent. It was as though she were an outsider, not one of the contestants.

The two shareholders seated beside Caroline were Gavin and George Harper. They were cousins and were here because Morri

    Caroline's smile widened as she leveled her eyes at Liam. "Mr. Mackey, if I'm not mistaken, you said that you support Layla, right?" She put emphasis on the word "you". Liam nodded, failing to notice anything odd. "But the shareholder in Evans Group isn't you. It's your son, Sloan. You have no right to make a decision for him." Liam's expression shifted, and he chuckled. "We are father and son, so our thoughts are the same." "Oh? Are you sure? Why don't you call your son to ask for his opinion on this?" "Is that necessary?"Layla tried her best not to sneer. She blinked at Caroline to seem pitiful to everyone around and said, "Caroline, if you really want to become the CEO, I can let you take over. You don't have to do this. It'll only make you seem … frivolous." Despite what she said, Caroline's gaze on Liam didn't waver. A chill ran up his spine, and he eventually took out his phone. "Fine. Since you aren't happy with the results, I'll call my son and let you know that

    Caroline smiled softly and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Eddy?""Stop pretending. You and I both know it.""I won't know what you're talking about if you don't tell me anything." Eddy walked and stopped right in front of her, his eyes simmering with rage.He couldn't hold it back any longer and roared, "Why did Sloan change his mind all of a sudden? Don't tell me that you did nothing at all!" Caroline calmly looked up at him and asked, "Do you have any evidence?" This effectively shut him up, but a moment later, he said, "I don't, but the fact that the father and son suddenly changed their minds is much too strange. You must have done something. I know you too well, Caroline, and I know that you would do anything to achieve your goals!" Caroline smiled, looking all indifferent, as she told him, "Are you saying that you hate us because we do whatever it takes to reach our goals?" "Yes!" Eddy snapped. "I hate people like you who would harm others and put others at risk just t

    "That's right!" Eddy shielded Layla as he said, "Layla didn't approve, but I was the one who persuaded her."Caroline looked at Eddy, the big fool Layla had deceived, and she couldn't help but laugh."What are you laughing at?" Eddy became furious at her actions."I'm laughing at how gullible you are.""What did you say?" Eddy frowned in disgust."You've always been by Layla's side. Haven't you noticed that she's pretending to be sick?"When Layla heard her words, she wobbled on the spot. Soon, she quickly steadied herself with the table. She questioned, "Why are you slandering me, Caroline?"Eddy also scolded, "Caroline, you're getting more and more out of line!"Caroline didn't bother explaining to Eddy. She glanced at the door, waiting for Sean to arrive.Seeing how silent Caroline was, Layla became more confident. With red eyes, she bit her lips and asked, "Caroline, anything you say casually can ruin my life. Should … Shouldn't you apologize to me?"Eddy's heart fell apa

    The three doctors looked at Sean. They appeared unscathed because the wounds were hidden under their clothes. And as a doctor, Sean knew how to avoid the vital parts.The three of them had suffered a lot in Sean's presence, so they didn't have the gall to lie. They scrambled to answer immediately, "Ms. Layla isn't sick … She forced me to fake her medical records and checklists. Mr. Eddy, I—I don't know anything. I was forced to do this …"Eddy couldn't listen to the doctors' explanations at all. His mind was buzzing. Only one revelation was going through his mind right now: Layla wasn't sick. She wasn't ill at all …He slowly turned his head like a broken doll and looked at Layla with dull eyes. He asked, "Why? Why did you do this?"Layla had considered the possibility that Eddy would one day discover the truth. However, since the outside world couldn't know about what was going on in prison, she took the opportunity to lie and say that she was cured of her illness. She thought h

    Liam left as well. He wasn't as high-spirited as when he came in. In fact, he seemed to have aged for a few years.Gavin was the only person who had sincerely hoped that Caroline would win. He stood up and held out his hand to Caroline. He said, "Congratulations, Ms. Evans."Caroline raised an eyebrow and said in return, "I'd like to congratulate you as well."Gavin was taken aback for a moment. Then, he remembered the ledgers and said, "Are you talking about how we can settle things with the former CEO?"Caroline shook her head slightly, her eyes glowing with confidence. She said, "Not only that, I'll show you a new Evans Group. So I'm congratulating you for making the right choice."Her words took Gavin aback. As a businessman, he had met countless confident people, but this was the first time he had seen someone as confident as her. "May I ask you a question, Ms. Evans?"Gavin waited for Caroline to nod before asking, "What makes you so confident?" He wasn't mocking her at

    In the underground parking lot, when Caroline got in the car and called Kirk, she realized she was shaking badly. She pressed the wrong buttons several times before finally dialing his number.Kirk answered the call within seconds. "Hey, darling."Caroline didn't want to cry at first, but when she heard Kirk's deep and alluring voice, she felt her eyes water. Her voice broke as she said, "We won, Kirk! We won!"Kirk felt his heart tremble when he heard the word "we.""You're amazing, darling!" he said joyfully, his heart fluttering.Charles was standing nearby. When he looked at Kirk, he couldn't help cursing internally. He had never seen his boss so excited, not even when he won a billion-dollar project."Are you free at noon?" Caroline asked, sniffling her nose. "Let's celebrate together. We'll call Gwen and Sean too. I really want to thank him for helping me out.""Okay.""Okay then. I'll call Gwen." Caroline looked at her tearful reflection in the rearview mirror, feeling

    It was clear that Kirk was in a good mood today. He was even joking in front of Gwen. Taking the opportunity, Sean said, "I'd love to do that, but someone doesn't want to play along, and she keeps embarrassing me."Caroline smiled and joked, "Did you hear that, Gwen? He's complaining about you. Why don't you make this thing between you two official, and we'll have a double wedding?""Oh, shut it. Today is your day. I'm not going to steal your thunder." Even as she said that, in a rare moment, Gwen took the initiative to hold Sean's hand in front of Caroline and Kirk.Sean looked down at their clasped hands, his heart beating faster. He was about to say something when he heard Gwen warn, "Don't push your luck."Sean smirked at her words and sat down quietly beside Gwen.Caroline and Kirk looked at each other tacitly."Hurry up and order some food. I'm so hungry," Gwen said before Caroline could tease her.Caroline had no choice but to order food for everyone. While waiting for

    Caroline didn't hide it from Kirk at all and immediately sent a message to Quentin, "All right. You can send me the details."The screen kept showing that Quentin was typing, and a moment later, he sent another message."My computer has a virus, so I can't find the digital files anymore. But I've already printed out the details. Are you free this afternoon? I'll bring them over."Caroline thought about her schedule for a moment. She didn't have anything on in the afternoon, so she said, "Yeah, I am. Sorry to trouble you."Quentin replied, "You're welcome." He didn't say anything else.Caroline paid the bill for this meal after she strongly insisted on it. After that, Gwen and Sean left, but Kirk stood still. Seeing this, she asked, "Don't you have work in the afternoon?""I do." Kirk rubbed Caroline's supple lips with his fingers and put an arm around her waist, forcing her to cling to him. "But I don't want to go."Caroline asked with a smile, "What do you want to do?""Yo

    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
