"Is there a problem?" Caroline asked, keeping her calm. The people around her lost the courage to say anything else. They mumbled amongst themselves and left soon after. However, they started complaining again right after leaving her office. "What's wrong with her? Why is she so angry?""Of course, she's pissed! If I were her, I would have lost my mind to lose the chance at signing a contract with Daphne!" "This is exactly how people behave when they are powerless. Back then, I told my friends that I wanted to work at Evans Group, but they told me that this company wouldn't last long. "I didn't believe them and joined the team. Seeing how things are now, we'll become jobless before the next product is introduced to the market." "It isn't that bad," said Caroline. She was more or less an idol to quite a number of people, and the head of the design department had a pretty good impression of her too. "I think we stand a chance against the opposite party." The employees t

George fretted over it so much that he tossed away the documents in his hands and rushed out to go after Luke. However, Gavin called out, "Stop right there!" "Gavin, this is our final chance! If we don't withdraw our funds, we'll surely lose everything we have!" "We can't backstab her at a moment like this!"Business and morality are two different things. You can't just give up on our business just because you want to show how loyal you are to someone!" George exclaimed. The scowl on Gavin's face deepened. He waved his hand. His mind was made up. "I've decided. Listen up; if you dare to withdraw the funds, I'll cut ties with you!" His tone made it clear that he wasn't going to relent. Seeing how determined Gavin was, George stormed out of the office, clearly pissed. Gavin spun in his chair so that his back faced the door. He then shook his head helplessly at George's antics. He wouldn't betray Caroline now, even if it meant losing money. …In a restaurant, Caroline sat

"Can you wait a moment?" Caroline got up and looked toward the window seat. Adrian was too excited to tell Caroline about the feelings he had for her for the past 20 years and more. "Caroline, I …""Gwen?" After confirming that the person sitting by the window was Gwen, Caroline apologized to Adrian and rushed over. "Gwen, is it really you? What are you doing here? Also …"There were a number of beer bottles on the table. Caroline took the bottle of beer from Gwen's hand and asked, "How much did you drink?"Gwen was obviously drunk and couldn't recognize the person before her at all. She stood and tried to get her beer back, but she swayed and nearly fell. Luckily, Adrian moved fast and held her up. However, Gwen reacted to this like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She shoved Adrian away. "Go away. You men are all disgusting!"Every guest in the restaurant turned to look over at them. Adrian was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Caroline went forward to hold Gwen

Caroline replied, "Speaking of buying you a meal, I think I've mentioned it several times already." As she spoke, she went to get Adrian some water. When he accepted the glass of water, Adrian couldn't avoid touching Caroline's skin. The touch was like being shocked by electricity. It made Adrian's face turn red. Adrian ducked his head and gulped down some water to still his rapidly beating heart. "Right. Are you free this weekend? Maybe we can have that meal."After drinking her own water, Caroline raised her head to find that Adrian's face was red. "Why is your face so red?" she asked. Adrian's mind buzzed, the blush spreading to his neck as sweat dripped. He coughed. "I …""You must be hot." Caroline went to find the remote control. "I think men run hotter than women, so you sweat easier."Adrian's heart dislodged from his throat. He felt a little disappointed. Soon, Caroline found the remote control and turned the air conditioning on. Then, she turned to head into the be

"Kirk?" After a brief feeling of astonishment, Caroline felt rage surge through her. How had he known that she was here?Kirk smiled as he looked kindly at Adrian, who was behind Caroline. But there was a violent wave buried deep in his eyes. Adrian was stunned when he first saw Kirk. His immediate reaction was to recall which family this man was from. But no matter how he went through the memories in his mind, he couldn't place the man. In the end, Adrian looked at Kirk warily. This was no simple man. As Adrian regarded him without inhibition, Kirk only swept Adrian a casual gaze before ducking his head toward Caroline. "Jack said you were sending Gwen home, so I came over to check on things. Is everything alright? Do you need help?" As he spoke, he took Caroline's hand, wordlessly saying that she belonged to him.Caroline was currently angry at Kirk because he knew her whereabouts. She didn't notice the two men glaring at each other. "It's nothing. Gwen just got drunk."

"Darling," Kirk said."You head home first."Kirk watched as Caroline turned mercilessly away, his fists clenching. "Alright, I'll go home first. Call me if anything happens," he said. After that, he was silent for a moment before he left and closed the door behind him.When the door clicked closed, Caroline couldn't maintain the rigidity of her back anymore. She slid to the ground. She covered her face as her shoulders trembled gently. After more than half an hour, Caroline rushed into the bathroom and wiped the tears from her face. When she looked up, she saw herself in the mirror, her makeup ruined. Although she had been trying hard to fill the emptiness in her heart with work, as more time passed, the pain got harder to deal with.If this went on, she would go crazy.She took out her phone and clicked on her chat with Marina. There were no new messages. There were still 18 more hours until working hours started in Macldo.Caroline had the urge to sedate herself and slee

Gwen couldn't keep it a secret anymore with the way Caroline was looking at her. She could only swallow her pills, wash them down with water, and say, "I've been suspended at work."Caroline frowned. "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?""I didn't know how to tell you." Gwen sighed. "Besides, I didn't want to keep bothering with all my little issues."Caroline replied, "But I'm your best friend.""Alright, alright. Are you going to listen or not?" Gwen whined. In response, Caroline could only say, "Alright, tell me.""Actually, it's really simple, but I have to start from Macovo …"After Caroline and Kirk had left Macovo, Gwen and Sean had kept looking for witnesses. But after going through dozens of people, no one came forward. They didn't know if it was because the witnesses found the matter too troublesome or because they really didn't see anything. Seeing that their vacation was almost over, Gwen had no choice but to give up. After all, she assumed that she

When she got to that point, Gwen laughed. "It was better in the past when I would dump them after I got them. "I didn't have to worry about the guy cheating at all. As long as we break up fast, they won't get to cheat on me."Caroline smiled as she looked at Gwen, but it didn't reach her eyes. Gwen was right. Love was really quite tiring. One needed to nurture love with a lot of effort so that it could last forever. "What about you?" Gwen asked, turning her head toward Caroline.The smile was still on Caroline's face, but now her gaze drifted. "I … Do you remember I told you I was scared?"Gwen blinked."The husband was a murderer, but the wife only found out when the police came to their door …"Gwen sat up. "You mean …"Caroline shook her head as she laughed. "No. It's just that my complete trust in him seems to be cracking.""What exactly happened?"Caroline shook her head and looked at the time. "I'm not sure yet. I still have to wait …"Caroline just had to wait a lit

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
