Caroline walked over expressionlessly. "What's going on?" she asked.Hearing the voice, Cheryl, who had been arguing with Layla, immediately went to Caroline's side. "Caroline, Ms. Layla from upstairs said she wanted to give us some gifts as a nice gesture because it's their opening day. I said it's not necessary, but they insist on going inside."Cheryl wasn't a fool. She knew that Layla and Caroline were at odds. Layla saying all this about their opening day is just a move to mess up Evans Group's team morale.Emery was standing behind Layla. Ever since Emery had managed to convince more than a hundred people to quit Evans Group, she had joined Layla's company. Emery, who had always relied on the clout of others, regained her arrogance when she saw Caroline. "We're just handing out some gifts. Do you have to treat us like thieves? Could it be that you're afraid our company has better benefits than yours and might steal away all your employees?"Caroline walked over to the g
Emery froze for a few moments. Then, she grimaced, saying, "Your keys are obviously fake. Why should I eat them?""It looks like you're not going to give up. Fine. Since I have some time on my hands, let's go and see for ourselves," Caroline said, picking up the car keys and walking to the elevator.Emery gave Layla a puzzled glance. Layla wondered if Caroline had gotten out of bed on the wrong side. She looked back at Emery, signaling her to follow Caroline and take a look.Emery had no choice but to go after Caroline.As Caroline walked, she noticed Cheryl still standing there and said, "Cheryl, you should come too and be an eyewitness."Hearing this, Cheryl hurriedly followed Caroline's footsteps. She felt her heart almost leap out of her throat when she saw Caroline's calm expression from the side. Although she knew little about luxury cars, she knew that the Porsche 911 was a classic model that not everyone could own.But seeing Caroline's cool composure, Cheryl had to b
Emery glanced at Caroline disdainfully. "So is this your car? You must have borrowed it from someone."At the same time, on Layla's call, Eddy pulled off his tie irritably. "What's the matter?"Layla said, "Ed, I heard you have a Porsche 911 at your car dealership. I heard that it's difficult to get this car. Can you gift it to me?"As Layla talked with Eddy on the phone, Emery was sizing Caroline's Porsche, chatting endlessly, "If you didn't borrow it, it must be a knockoff. Caroline, you would really do anything to preserve your dignity, wouldn't you? Look at Layla! She found a good man who'll give her whatever she wants. Meanwhile, your man—"A slap landed on her face!"What?"Two sharp voices sounded simultaneously in the underground parking lot. Emery angrily covered her burning cheek. She rushed forward to grab Caroline's hair, but Caroline pushed her away.Emery's body hit the Porsche, and she grimaced in pain. But she still said ruthlessly, "How dare you hit me, Caroline
Emery was so frightened that she scrambled to the elevator on all fours. She frantically pressed the buttons as if zombies were chasing her.Caroline watched her coldly. After seeing Emery flee into the elevator, she turned to look at Cheryl. "Let's go.""Okay!" Cheryl chirped. Glancing at Layla, she approached Caroline and said smugly, "This Porsche is really beautiful, Caroline."Caroline smiled, knowing she was provoking Layla.After the two returned to the office, Cheryl said, "Caroline, the people upstairs won't cause trouble again after what happened today, right?"Caroline knew Layla too well. "No, Layla will keep stirring up trouble unless Evans Group goes bankrupt.""Ugh, that's so annoying." Cheryl frowned and asked, "Is there no way to deal with her?"Caroline chuckled. As long as Eddy still wanted to protect Layla, she could live in peace in this city, even more recklessly than most people. "There is." Caroline looked at the plants nearby, her lips curling into
However, Caroline's methods were getting less effective. When she inadvertently thought of Kirk, even just a little bit, she would end up longing for him during her short break. She had never realized before that Kirk had already made a prominent place in her heart. However, it was also because of this that she was terrified.In the past, Eddy would go on business trips abroad, and she wouldn't see him for months. But she had never been like this. She wouldn't think of Eddy 24/7. In fact, she would be happy every time he said he would be on a business trip. It wasn't until she started working that she finally understood what that feeling was—the feeling of freedom. However, it had been less than a day since she and Kirk had been apart, and she was already missing him like crazy.Caroline stood up and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window. As she watched the busy traffic below, she frowned in distress. If Marina's investigation proved that Kirk really had a wife abroad, s
Upstairs at Evanson Corporation, Layla slumped down on her chair, exhausted from smashing everything she could see.Meanwhile, Emery knelt on the messy floor. Her forehead, hands, and knees were covered in wounds, courtesy of Layla. However, she didn't even dare to yelp in pain.When the assistant opened the door and saw the messy room, she was about to leave. However, Layla stopped her. "Do you need something?"The assistant toughened herself and replied, "Mr. Luke is here."When she heard that Luke was here, the anger on Layla's face faded slightly."Ask him to wait for me in the conference room and ask someone to clean this place up.""All right." The assistant hurriedly left the room.Layla glanced at Emery, who was kneeling on the ground, and scoffed, "If you ever do something stupid like this again, you can show yourself out.""... Okay," Emery answered shakingly. She was on the verge of tears. Layla walked out of the office without even looking at her. As soon as she w
All the employees cast a discreet glance at Charles.Feeling everyone's eyes on him, Charles wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it. Of course, he knew why Kirk was gloomy, but he couldn't do anything about it.The only one who could fix the problem was the one who started it. Kirk's mood would only improve if Caroline wasn't upset anymore. But the chances of that happening were slim.After all, anyone would be upset if they were being lied to.In the dead silence, someone from the technical department knocked on the conference room door. He looked at Charles.As if he had found his escape, Charles immediately stood up. "I'll be going out for a while, sir." He quickly left the room, as if entranced.Everyone else was envious to see him leave.Charles could finally breathe after walking out of the conference room. He took several breaths of air before asking, "How did it go? Did you find anything?"The employee from the technical department handed several printed photos t
Daphne held the phone in shock. She couldn't believe her ears. Then, after realizing what happened, she ran around with the phone in her hand, screaming, "Ah! Mr. Kirk is coming to my banquet! Yeah!"Her manager heard her screams. After Daphne was done expressing her excitement, her manager asked, "Is Mr. Kirk really coming?""That's right." Daphne had told everyone that Kirk might attend the banquet because she hadn't thought he would actually come. Moreover, she was already prepared. If anyone asked her why Kirk wasn't at the banquet, she could use his work as an excuse. She had called him just now to gauge his mood. Unexpectedly, Kirk had really agreed to come.But wait a minute! The voice on the phone didn't sound like Charles'. The thought briefly crossed Daphne's mind, but she quickly forgot about it. She jumped down from the couch and hurried to the dressing room. "Call the makeup team here immediately. I have to look my best today."Kirk and Sean's wife would be atten
