Layla's voice trailed off, but everyone around knew what she meant. Caroline replied calmly, "How I got the money is none of your business." She continued, "Besides, according to our agreement, I don't need to get divorced, and you can't withdraw the investment either. You're free to choose whether to stay or leave when Evans Group stabilizes." "Caroline!" Sarah wailed. "How could you say something like that?" Eddy took a deep breath. He heard the sarcasm in Caroline's tone. Initially, he'd felt rather guilty toward her, but all of that vanished in an instant when Layla suggested that Caroline had resorted to prostitution. Harrumphing, he said, "Fine. I underestimated you. This time, I'm the one who lost." With that said, he pushed Layla's wheelchair and walked away.Hastily, Sarah followed after them. Now that peace and quiet had finally been restored, Caroline turned away from the corridor and back into her house. She accidentally stepped on Kirk's shoes. A soft smile hun

Caroline opened the door to see an empty corridor. There was no one there. "Strange. Nobody's here," she mumbled to herself. Kirk had followed her to the door. He looked to the left and right and saw no one there either. In his hoarse voice, he said, "Maybe a kid tried to prank you. Let's go back and eat." "Okay." Caroline nodded and closed the door. When the corridor became quiet again, Eddy walked out from behind the safety exit and stared at the closed door of Caroline's apartment. A gush of disappointment flashed through his eyes. Caroline was now married and living with another man. All this time, he'd wished that she would stop pestering him. Ironically, he didn't feel as happy as he'd expected himself to be when his wish came true. It was as though something was stuck in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. He didn't even have the courage to see Caroline and her husband standing together and had to resort to hiding. …In front of a coffee shop, Caroline and Gwen

"Mhmm." Gwen hummed and nodded. "Have you thought of which painting you're going to give Mr. Morrison Senior?" she asked. Caroline opened the auction house's website and skimmed through the items that were being auctioned today. "This one," she handed her phone to Gwen and explained, "It's by Zach Zimmer. Although he isn't that popular compared to other artists, his works have a certain flair and character to them that Grandpa likes. I can afford it too, so it's the best gift I can get for Grandpa." "I am truly speechless at how far you're willing to go for him." Gwen laughed. "How much does this cost, then?" "About a million dollars, I think.""A million dollars! Where did you get the money from?" "My savings." Caroline sighed. "Grandpa's always been very kind to me, but I've let him down. I'm not going to be his granddaughter-in-law anymore, so this painting serves as some kind of compensation too." "It's not your fault—" Gwen exclaimed.Caroline quickly interrupted her

As Caroline returned to her seat, Gwen immediately noticed that something was off with her friend's expression. When Gwen saw Brie walking out of the restroom not long after that, she guessed what had happened. "Did Brie mess with you?" she asked Caroline, jumping up from her seat, ready to go and confront Brie. Caroline quickly pulled her back into her seat. "No." "Then what's that look on your face?" Caroline touched her cheeks. "My stomach feels a little weird." "Do you want to go to the hospital?" "It's not that bad." Caroline shot Gwen a smile. "Maybe it's because of the coffee we had just now. I'm sure it'll get better after a while." A concerned frown formed on Gwen's face. "You didn't have a problem like this before. I'll ask the staff to get you some warm water to drink." "Okay." Caroline would agree to anything as long as Gwen didn't go to find Brie's trouble. After Gwen left, she leaned in her seat and rubbed her hands together, immersed in her thoughts.So

Even Gwen couldn't help herself as she tugged Caroline's sleeve and whispered to her, "Carol, have you gone nuts? You shouldn't be bidding this much, even if you like this painting." Where did Caroline get that much money from? However, Caroline calmly turned to look at Brie, who looked like an angry tomato. She gently patted the back of Gwen's hand and assured her, "Don't fret. Someone's paying for it." Gwen was more confused than reassured. She was about to ask Caroline what she meant but heard Brie call, "20 million dollars!" Now, Brie could finally let go of the breath she'd been holding. She glanced sideways at Caroline, her chin tilted upward. She was clearly pleased with herself. Caroline smiled in response. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she placed one hand over her paddle but didn't raise it in the air. On stage, the host waited for about a minute to make sure that no one was making another bid and then announced, "Going at 20 million dollars!" "20 millio

Naturally, Caroline wouldn't just run off without her best friend. She picked the hand warmer up and used it to whack the faces of the people surrounding them. They were all women and cared very much about their appearances. Hence, they were busy covering their faces to avoid getting hit. They instantly forgot all about Gwen. However, Brie had brought too many of them. Caroline and Gwen alone weren't enough to handle all of them. It wasn't long before Caroline started to feel worn out. Just then, they heard a loud rush of footsteps coming from outside. "Quick! Hurry up! Eddy Morrison's second uncle has returned, and he's just right in there!" Someone in the crowd of journalists exclaimed enthusiastically. They barged in and froze on the spot when they saw the group of women lashing out and pulling at each other's hair. This sight made them forget all about the reason they came here. What the fuck? Ms. Collins and Eddy Morrison's fiancée were in a brawl! This would surely ma

"You—" "Be quick, and write my name on it." Caroline paused for a moment and added, "If you don't, I'll call the jewelry store right now to ask for the surveillance footage!" She enunciated the last few words slowly for emphasis.Brie's grip on the pen tightened, and she stared daggers at Caroline. "Fine. I'll do it," she spat through gritted teeth. Seeing that Brie had finally written down her name, Caroline felt the satisfaction she'd anticipated. She turned to Gwen and said, "Gwen, let's go." Heartily, Gwen agreed. Before walking past Brie, she said to her, "Thank you, Ms. Collins, for being so magnanimous." It made Brie so pissed that she flung the pen at the ground. After leaving the auction house, Gwen hooked an arm around Caroline's and said, "Carol, you were so cool just now! I think I'm going to start fangirling over you!""You're exaggerating!" came Caroline's reply. "It's true!" exclaimed Gwen. "Brie always mocked you in the past. You told me before that the Mo

Caroline froze. "How did you know that I'd bought a necktie?" Kirk glanced at the bag and laughed. "I guessed it. What? Are you reluctant to give it to me?" "No. I bought it because I wanted to thank you for giving me this bracelet. But now, you're giving me this painting, and I … I don't know what to do to express my gratitude," Caroline mumbled. Kirk swallowed, a tad touched by her explanation. The worry he'd had vanished into thin air. "Help me tie it then." "Huh?" A blush crept up Caroline's cheeks. Never in her life had she helped a man tie a tie. Besides, tying a tie for someone meant she had to get close to them, and she'd only do it for someone she was close to. Yet now Kirk was asking her to do it for him."We're meeting my father next month, yet we seem distant from each other. We don't look like a newlywed couple at all. Since you're thinking of a way to thank me, you can get used to being my wife. My family won't doubt our relationship, and they'll finally stop

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
