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

    Jack noticed that Caroline often zoned out nowadays. At first, he thought she was thinking about something. However, she had been lost in thought several times, even when she arrived home. He had to remind her that she was home before she got out of the car.Only then did Jack realize that something was off with Caroline. However, he didn't dare contact Kirk so soon. He was still scared from the time when things had almost been exposed.Caroline sniffled. "I'm fine."Jack wanted to pry further, but Caroline changed the subject. "By the way, did you and Cheryl get along while I was away?"At the mention of Cheryl, a smile appeared on Jack's face. "Cheryl is pretty good, and her cooking is top-notch. I even gained a bit of weight during this period of time."Caroline smiled brightly at his words. "That's great."Jack was puzzled by her words, but Caroline had already left the car to get her dress. So he had to stay in the car and wait quietly. This Porsche 911 was really fun to d

    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.
