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
Listening to their mocking laughs, Daphne finally relieved some of the anger she had pent up from the incident in the bridal boutique. Hence, she didn't say anything in Caroline's defense, even though she knew Caroline was Sean's wife and someone she couldn't afford to upset. After all, she wasn't the one mocking her. Daphne felt more at ease thinking about this.Noticing the smile that Daphne tried to suppress, the man felt encouraged to act even bolder. "You must not have attended a grand banquet like this for a long time, right, Ms. Evans? That makes sense. Since you got married, you can't attend the Morrisons' banquets anymore. You've cut ties with the upper class. Oh, the last time I saw you was at Mr. Morrison Senior's birthday …"The man cast a disdainful glance at Caroline once more. After noticing that Caroline's dress wasn't branded, he laughed even more brazenly. "Tsk, Tsk. As expected, you can't live well without the Morrisons. Look at the dress you're wearing. It
That was probably why Kirk had been so anxious the entire trip.Although Kirk only frowned, as someone who had worked for him for many years, Charles knew how dangerous and terrifying he was at this moment.If Daphne was really involved in Kirk's identity getting leaked, her life would be extremely miserable from now on. Charles became concerned about what might happen next.When the car stopped at the door of the villa, Kirk opened the car door and stepped out. When Daphne's manager saw Kirk, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over to greet him. She could feel the deathly air around him before she even got close. "Hello, sir." She trembled, not daring to look up at Kirk's face.Kirk walked around the manager and toward the door. Whenever he came to see Daphne, he would definitely wear a mask and sunglasses when he knew there were many people around. Because if one of these people knew Caroline, he would be at risk of being exposed.But none of that mattered now. His identi
