Sean could feel a migraine forming the moment he saw Mia. He couldn't have cared less if it hadn't been for the fact that she was just 18 years old and unfamiliar with this place. This was her first time traveling abroad, too.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gwen's expression was her usual one. Standing behind her, he wrapped a hand around her waist and said, "Morning."

Gwen stiffened and glanced at his hand around her hip. The corners of her lips tilted up into a smile.

Mia noticed this and understood what it implied. But she chose to pretend as if she didn't see it and simply smile at Gwen. "Gwen, do you know how to skate?"

"Yes, why?"

"I'm not good at skating," Mia muttered.

"Can you teach me?" She had always asked Sean for help, but this time, she decided to ask Gwen instead.

Gwen's instincts told her that Mia was scheming something. "I don't—"

"If you're not free, can you let Sean teach me?" Mia stared at Gwen with puppy-dog eyes, rendering her speechless

    "What happened?" Caroline dashed across the rink toward Gwen, who looked as if she had just seen a ghost. "I—I don't know," said Gwen. "I held her arm to support her while teaching her how to skate just now. But she fell backward all of a sudden." She went to check on Mia as she spoke. "Are you okay?"Mia placed a hand on the back of her head and glanced down at it to see it stained red with blood. Despite that, she smiled when she glanced around at the crowd. "I'm fine, Gwen. I know you didn't do it on purpose." Gwen paled immediately at her words. Out of his obligation as a doctor, Sean rushed over and crouched beside Mia to inspect her wound. "You have to go to the hospital. Now," he said sternly when he saw that the back of her head was matted with blood. His expression changed in an instant. Gwen started to speak. She wanted to explain herself to Sean and say that she didn't know how this happened. But he was already busy calling for the guards and ordering

    "Mom, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go," said Mia. Her eyes were fixed on Gwen the entire time. Soon, the hostel owner noticed this and glanced curiously in Gwen's direction. Sensing nothing off about Gwen, she shot Mia's stepfather a look. "Honey, go and settle the bill, will you?""Okay," he said, leaving. Then, the hostel owner turned to look at Sean. "All of you brought my daughter here, right? Thank you so much.""It was what we should do," said Sean politely.After chatting with them for a bit, the woman pushed Mia's wheelchair to the elevator. The ordeal ended so quickly that Gwen felt as though it wasn't real. "Let's head back," Sean grabbed her hand and said. She smiled at him in return. Just then, the hostel owner rushed back, clearly angry. Her face was red with rage when she roared at Gwen, "Mia told me that you pushed her on purpose to make her fall! Is it true?" Gwen froze, shocked at the sudden change of events. "No, I didn't!" "My daughter would

    Caroline was heading straight for the skating rink, but her footsteps faltered when she saw the woman's face. She was one of the women who had been in the quarrel that had broken out on Caroline's first day in Macovo. When Caroline walked past her, the woman pushed herself up from the ground. However, she almost lost her footing and fell. Caroline subconsciously reached out to help the woman. The overwhelming scent of alcohol invaded Caroline's senses, making her frown. She tried speaking in Macovian to tell the woman that she was drunk, yet the woman merely narrowed her eyes at Caroline. The corner of her lips turned up into a smile, and she said back in Mavocian, "I'm not drunk."She spoke clearly, as though she truly wasn't as drunk as she seemed. "Do you want me to ask the staff to send you back to your room?" "No! I don't want you to leave!" The woman wailed as she pulled Caroline into a hug, startling her. The woman was tall and had a better physique than Carolin

    "They will use all means to make dumb women fall into their traps. They will hide themselves deep behind their masks by appearing to be very gentlemanly. "They will never get mad at us and will always have our backs and support us. From time to time, they might even give us a pleasant surprise."Caroline listened expressionlessly as Dolly talked, but she started fretting inside. Everything Dolly described reminded her of Kirk. "I was a fool to believe I had actually met my true love," Dolly continued. "I trusted him wholeheartedly and helped him cover up anything fishy about him. It was all because I thought he would never lie to me."At this moment, Caroline's heart was already thumping hard against her ribcage. She tried her best to recall what Kirk's answer had been when she had asked him if he would ever lie to her.Unfortunately for her, she couldn't remember it at all. "It was only until I followed him back here that I realized that he was married already and even had

    Caroline dragged her tired body over to the door of the presidential suite. Looking at the door before her, she couldn't summon the courage to push it open, even after a long time. Dolly's words, the pictures that strange woman had sent a few days ago, the suspicious aspects of Kirk's identity from before—they all floated to the surface, clogging her mind. She found it hard to breathe.Everything about Kirk suddenly became a complicated mystery. Who was he? Was that woman really his wife? Did he really have two wives?Caroline supported herself on the wood of the door and slowly sat down. Memories rushed up in her mind like waves. Weakly, her hands clenched into fists.She wanted to rush in there, shake Kirk, and get a clear explanation from him. But she had no energy to do so at all. After sitting at the door for a long time, she finally regained some strength and took out the access card. When the door opened, Caroline went inside and found Kirk on the bed, already sleeping de

    In Sean's room, Gwen and Sean were about to leave when they saw Kirk coming over with some medication. Gwen asked anxiously, "Is Caroline sick?"Kirk nodded and handed the booklet of instructions that came with the medication to Sean. "Have a look and see if this medicine has any side effects."Sean looked through it and answered, "There won't be any side effects. You can give it to her without any worries." After that, he asked, "How did she get sick?""I don't know." Kirk frowned. "The Macovian doctor said that Caroline might just not be used to it here."Sean replied, "I'll go have a look at her."The three of them headed back to Kirk's room. Caroline couldn't close her eyes in time and watched as the trio came inside. But her gaze quickly fell on Gwen as she did her best to ignore Kirk's presence."Carol …" Gwen looked over at Caroline in worry. "Do you feel really bad?"Caroline shook her head. The discomfort from her sickness was nothing compared to the agony in

    Kirk was violently taken aback.His first thought was that his identity had been exposed. But soon, he calmed down again and thought carefully about the people Caroline had come into contact with. He didn't recall anyone giving anything away.As Kirk fell deep into thought, Caroline watched him carefully. Seeing that he didn't answer after a long time, her heart fell. She closed her eyes again and said, "I'm so tired. I want to sleep for a while."She didn't dare to hear Kirk's answer. She had always believed that Kirk wouldn't lie to her. Her conviction on this had never wavered. But now, her confidence was destroyed.The trust that she had had in him seemed like a joke now."Darling …""Let's go back to Easton tomorrow." Caroline turned over, facing her back to Kirk. Kirk froze for a bit, his brain lagging for a few seconds. He had already made preparations to tell Caroline about his connection to the Morrison family. But he hadn't expected that Caroline would react this

    Caroline prodded, saying, "Tell me. No matter what you say, I won't get mad.""Actually, I think that if I had found out earlier on that you wanted to compete for the position of the Evans Group's CEO, I might not have supported you. You know, Layla had Eddy's support. With just that alone, she could have gotten the shareholders to pick her."Gwen continued, "But Kirk is different. He believed in you from start to finish. He probably didn't even voice a word of doubt. It doesn't matter if it's because of his superb observation skills or his trust in you as the woman he loves. "What I know is that a true married couple will always support each other. They wouldn't sabotage each other, like my parents.""I'm sorry," Caroline murmured."It's okay." Gwen took a breath and continued, "But you. Why are you suddenly asking this?"Caroline looked at Gwen and blinked. "Did you find any witnesses?"When Caroline brought this up, Gwen frowned in annoyance. "It's not that easy. But the

    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
