"What? Is it too tough for you to handle?" Kirk glanced at Charles with eyes as cold as ice."N-no," Charles muttered as he wiped off the sheen of cold sweat on his brow. "Go and resume your work then." "Okay." Charles had just reached the door when Kirk abruptly thought of something and called out to him, making him stop in his tracks. "Caroline said that a mysterious person messaged her when she was in Macovo back then. I need you to find out who that person is." With his mouth agape, Charles waited in silence for Kirk to continue. But the latter was soon preoccupied with his work, with his head lowered over his desk. After some time, Charles couldn't wait any longer. "Sir, don't you have anything else to tell me regarding this person?""No."Kirk's curt reply cut off the sliver of hope in Charles' eyes, and he fell silent once more. Did Kirk think Charles was some kind of all-knowing divine figure? Just then, Kirk stared at him with a raised eyebrow. "What's wrong

Gwen couldn't conceal her joy at the fact that her father had been beaten up. "What happened?" Caroline texted her back. Gwen was probably still asleep now, so there wasn't a reply after the message was sent. Caroline then clicked into Marina's chatbox but saw that there weren't any new messages. After giving it some thought, she sent her a voice message. "Do you have any news?" Marina replied almost instantly. "No. Wait for a little longer. Tell your friend not to worry, because I'll definitely find out who that man's wife is. —Marina" There was nothing Caroline could do but wait for Marina's findings. After freshening up, Caroline rushed over to her company. She was early today, so there weren't many people in the elevator. She pressed the button on the floor she wanted to get on. Then, right before she pressed the button to close the elevator doors, she heard someone call out, "Wait—"Caroline froze and waited until the person entered the elevator before pressing the butt

Caroline had just walked out of the elevator when she saw Sarah and Dan standing at the door of her office. She had a hunch about what they were here for already. Her expression was blank when she faced them. "What is it?" Sarah had the urge to slap Caroline when she saw her face. However, she and Dan were trapped in Caroline's grasp for now, so she had no choice but to bear with it. After calming herself down, she said, "Caroline, don't you think you've gone overboard? Are you planning to kill us?" Caroline opened the door to the office and glanced at them. "What did I do?""Don't pretend like you don't know what you did! You gave Gavin the ledger!" "What does that have to do with me? You two are the ones who broke the law!""You—" Sarah raised her hand in the air, ready to slap Caroline. Yet the latter didn't even flinch or try to evade it. She simply stared right into Sarah's eyes, making Sarah freeze. Just then, Dan grabbed Sarah's arm and said, "That's enough. St

When they reached the first floor, Dan watched the doors of the elevator open slowly and felt himself calm down a lot. Once again, he pressed the button for the doors to close, which made Sarah wonder out loud, "Hubby, are you thinking of meeting that ungrateful brat again?" Dan sighed and told her, "No. You pissed me off so much that I almost forgot we could rely on Layla."Sarah cheered up at his words. "You're right! I've heard that Layla started her very own company just upstairs. She purposely chose the same design theme just to compete with Caroline," said Sarah. "Her company's PR team did a great job, and she managed to find herself the best of brand ambassadors too. I'm sure she'll win against Caroline." "Jude will agree to her marriage with Eddy by then," she continued. "After all, who would refuse such a brilliant granddaughter-in-law like her?" After listening to Sarah go on and on about this, Dan felt his mood improve tremendously. Indeed, businessmen like

When Cheryl arrived at the office, she noticed that the door to Caroline's office was open. Pleasantly surprised that Caroline was here already, she stopped by the door and said, "Caroline! You're early!" Caroline looked up from her desk. She had just finished writing down the details of her plans. "Ask the heads of the departments to come to the conference room for a meeting.""Okay." Cheryl chirped. Caroline busied herself with work once more. Cheryl couldn't make out if she was in a good mood or not. She wondered if Caroline and her husband reconciled after the trip. Jack had said that Caroline's husband was a good man. Still, if he was as good as Jack had put it, why would Caroline have gotten into a fight with him in the first place?The question lingered in Cheryl's mind as she hurried off to call the heads of the departments for the meeting. "Our ambassador's new drama will be broadcast in two days." Caroline glanced over all of them. "Has everything been prepared?

It was already 3:00 pm by the time Caroline finished the discussions with the factory. Once she left the factory, she hurriedly turned her phone on. Marina still hadn't messaged her. Instead, she found voice messages from Gwen.Gwen said, "I don't know what happened. According to my dad, a bunch of people dragged him out of the car when he was getting off work. They let him go after beating him up. "With the way he flirts with people, he probably offended someone he shouldn't. That's why he got beaten up in revenge. It's hilarious."Then, she asked, "Carol, do you want to go out for dinner? I'll treat you."Caroline was smiling as she listened to the voice messages. She texted, "Sure." Then, she went back to the chat with Marina. She sent a message that read, "Have you found anything yet?"Marina replied instantly, saying, "Not yet." Right after, she also sent an emoji that communicated confusion. "It's so weird. I can only find information about his relationship status, no

"Before you left, Mr. Sorkin even left instructions to ensure that your bill was cleared the next time you visited."Hearing what the manager said, Gwen's mouth took on an O shape. She nudged Caroline with her arm as she sent her a meaningful look.Caroline shot Gwen a glance before following the manager to the private room.Once the manager left, Gwen said in a rush, "Didn't I say that Mr. Sorkin treats you differently?""He has a girlfriend.""That's unrelated." Gwen watched as Caroline frowned in annoyance. She laughed and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Besides, he already went abroad. Who knows when he's coming back?""That's right." As Caroline poured them tea, she immediately felt relaxed.Gwen eyed her. After a moment, she said, "Carol, what's going on between you and Kirk right now?"Caroline rubbed her temples. "I don't know, either. The situation seems more complicated than I imagined …""Complicated?" Gwen asked. "How complicated can matters of the h

Caroline completely ignored Kirk and spent the whole of dinner talking to Gwen.Gwen used the same tactic. However, when she found out that Sean had hired the men to beat her father up, she couldn't resist widening her eyes. "You really did that?"Sean analyzed the look on Gwen's face. When he saw that she wasn't angry, he smiled and said, "Yes."Caroline couldn't help but look over at Sean too. "Why did you do that?" Gwen asked in confusion.Sean replied, "It's public responsibility to maintain public order."Gwen couldn't help but splutter out a laugh. After a moment, she stopped eating and asked, "Then … do you have a video of what happened?"Sean had a playful look in his eyes. He seemed like he was getting what he wanted. "I do. It's at my place. Do you want to come over and watch it?"After some debate, Gwen couldn't resist the temptation. She bit her lip and asked, "Do I have to go to yours to watch it?""Yes. It's proof of a crime, after all. I'm afraid that bri

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
