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
Jack's heart was beating frantically as suspense overwhelmed him. He had no idea what Kirk's words meant. They sounded like parting words. Could it be that he wanted to assign him to a dangerous mission? At the thought of this, the blood in Jack's body boiled with trepidation....In his office, Jules stood frozen in shock. "You … you're Evans Group's CEO now?"Caroline smiled slightly. "That's right. I'll officially take over tomorrow, so I'm here to resign formally."Jules applauded. "That's incredible! I heard that Layla asked Mr. Eddy to maximize her presence for this election. You didn't beat Layla in this election; you beat Mr. Eddy!" He was really curious about how Caroline had persuaded those shareholders to support her.Caroline said humbly, "You're exaggerating, Mr. Hawkins. At the end of the day, these are Evans Group's internal affairs. Well … I came here to give my resignation letter and pack up my things.""Are you in such a hurry that you must leave today?"
