Looking at the gifts in the room, Caroline felt confused once again. She couldn't help but ask Jack, who had helped her carry the gifts, "Mr. Jack, can I ask you a question?"Jack said, "Go ahead.""Why do you think Eddy's second uncle gave me so many gifts?"Jack widened his eyes and answered cautiously, "Maybe he likes you, Ms. Evans. I don't mean romantically but in a familial way …"Caroline frowned and was about to say something when another car came in. It was Kirk's car. Her expression shifted slightly.Jack followed Caroline's gaze and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kirk's car. The next second, a tall figure got out of the vehicle."Your husband is back," Jack chirped. However, he noticed Caroline was standing there, not moving an inch. At that moment, he finally realized why something seemed so off between the two of them! They had fought, hadn't they? Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "I'll be leaving first, Ms. Evans."Caroline nodded slightly.
Kirk's mind racedthem. After a moment, he said, "Darling, before I tell you the truth, can you answer a question?"Caroline was confused, but she still nodded sullenly.Kirk took a deep breath. "Do you like the Morrisons?"For some reason, Kirk's question reminded Caroline of when she had run into Daphne at the car dealership a few days ago. Back then, Daphne had kept bringing up the Morrisons. So when she heard Kirk's question, she almost frowned in disgust.Although her subtle movements were brief, Kirk still noticed it."I don't." Caroline said bluntly, "If it hadn't been for Grandpa, I really wouldn't want to have anything to do with them."Even though he had expected this answer, a trace of hurt appeared in Kirk's eyes, but he quickly sat up straight."Why are you asking me this?" Caroline looked at Kirk, confused. Did this have anything to do with his multiple marriages?Kirk looked at Caroline fondly. He said, "It's nothing. I was just asking."Caroline saw the tend
Caroline took out her phone and tapped on her private chat with Marina. Now, she could only know what to believe after getting some precise information.However, Marina hadn't sent her another message since the last time.Caroline remembered Marina saying that she could easily investigate the truth. After some consideration, she sent Marina a message, asking her how her investigation went.At this moment, she heard Kirk's voice again. "Darling?"Caroline's heart jumped, and she almost dropped her phone. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down.There was no point in having negative emotions like panic, anger, and disappointment when dealing with this issue. She had to calm down. Only by remaining calm could the damage be minimal.However, it was easier said than done. After taking several deep breaths, Caroline said, "I got it. I'll be down in a moment."After hearing a response from her, Kirk's tense body finally relaxed slightly. "All right. I'll head downstairs
Caroline kept her head down as she ate her baguette. Something fell into her oatmeal. She blinked desperately before forcing out, "Yeah.""Are you really not angry anymore?" Kirk tightly gripped his fork.Caroline took another bite of the baguette and secretly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Are you talking about having your own company? Why didn't you tell me about it before?"Kirk tightly clenched the fork in his hand. Joy surged in every part of his body. He answered with a slight vibrato, "Because … Because I didn't know how to tell you."Caroline blinked, tears forming in her eyes again. She swallowed again. "When you said you would resign, did you already know you would inherit your family business?"Kirk was silent. He really hadn't thought about this. The reason he had mentioned resigning was so that he could start a company and make Caroline's life better. He touched his nose and frowned. Sure enough, once you told a lie, you had to tell more lies to cover
At first, Kirk thought Caroline had forgiven him, but soon he realized that her smile wasn't sincere. He had seen her genuine smiles, so he could immediately tell whether she was really happy or faking it.This revelation upset him. But he was unwilling to ruin this happy and peaceful facade. He took out his phone and called Charles, "Did you find anything on Daphne's phone?"Charles said, "No, sir. Ms. Dawson hasn't interacted with the madam aside from the time in the bridal boutique and the car dealership. She seems to believe that the madam is Dr. Yates' wife."Kirk frowned. He pondered for a moment, trying to think rationally. He sat on the couch and gently tapped on the armrest. After a moment, his eyes lit up with an idea. "Go and investigate what happened during our time in Macovo, especially when she and I were separated. Find out who she had met and who she had talked to.""Yes, sir.""In particular …" Kirk opened the calendar on his phone. "Investigate what happened
It was unlucky that their idea clashed with Evanson Corporation's.Caroline had already understood the situation on the way here. Now she shifted to work mode and immediately said, "Can the factory make the designs again if we change the design drafts now?""It'll be too late." The head of the design department said, "We've already placed the orders. They have probably started production."The head of the sales department said, "We're doomed. There's no way we can beat the company upstairs with the same design concepts."Layla had Eddy backing her up. Once her products entered the market, Morrison Corporation's marketing team would help her promote them.Several people frowned at the thought of this. Their batch of products was going to collect dust."Caroline …" Cheryl cast Caroline a worried glance.Caroline glanced at everyone and said, "You can go home for now. We'll maintain our usual work process. The sales department should negotiate with more retail stores to work with
Brittany replied to her text quickly. She told Caroline that she was having lunch with a friend, but Caroline could join them if she didn't mind.Sure enough, Caroline didn't mind and replied in affirmation. Brittany was having lunch in a restaurant not far from the company. The restaurant was opposite Morrison Corporation's building. When Caroline thought of Kirk being there, she frowned."Are you in a bad mood?" Brittany handed a drink to Caroline. She had already told Kirk about this before inviting Caroline to join her, but he hadn't sounded in a good mood on the phone. After seeing Caroline's serious expression, she immediately guessed the couple were probably in a fight.Caroline said, "Thank you. I'm fine."Brittany shook her hand. "Don't forget what I do. If I couldn't observe people's words and emotions, I wouldn't even be in this line of work right now."Caroline smiled at her words. "As expected, I can't hide anything from you. In fact, I have some relationship pr
Caroline answered honestly, "Because I can't afford to hire them."Andrea smiled. "This is the first time I've seen an honest boss like you. How about this? Since you've helped me out before, I'll give you a 50% discount."Caroline shook her head. She couldn't even afford the 50% discount. "Why don't you hand me her information for now?"At Caroline's insistence, Andrea didn't say anything else. "Okay, but if you think she isn't right for the job, I can get a big-name celebrity with the time to help you promote your products. We'll help you out, free of charge."Caroline looked at Andrea gratefully. "Thank you," she said.Standing up, she said, "Then, I won't interrupt you two any longer.""All right. See you around."After saying goodbye, Andrea looked at Brittany and asked, "Hey, what do you think of Caroline?"Brittany was about to nod when she heard Andrea say, "Do you think I should introduce her to my brother? He'll definitely like a girl like her, right?"Brittany cho
