Sonia's eyelashes fluttered. After a long while, she loosened her fists and said, "I don't have any opinion on this, Ms. Evans. I'll do whatever you want me to."Seeing this, Andrea felt like she couldn't say much more against the plan. So she said, "Caroline, let me know if you need any help on your end."Caroline replied, "No need. Just upload the vlog Sonia filmed before.""J-just like that?" Andrea wondered if she had heard Caroline wrongly.Yet, Caroline only responded confidently. "Yes."After thinking it through, Andrea found no disadvantages to doing it, so she uploaded Sonia's vlog online. At the beginning, there was more outrage and criticism. But as the video became more popular, the comments became more reasonable."Wow, Sonia works so hard. Does she train like this every day?""She even trains when she's injured. She's truly driven!""Ahh, I really feel for her. But I'm so glad that others can see the work Sonia put in.""Wow, Sonia takes it so seriously! Althou
When it came down to it, Sonia and Cheryl rarely got involved in advertising. That was why they couldn't see the skill in this move. Andrea sent the caption and video to her head of advertising. Seeing that they were confused, she said to them, "It's understandable that you don't get it. What Caroline did showcases Sonia as someone who takes responsibility when it comes to her fans."Cheryl was still a bit perplexed. "But the partnership was announced more than two weeks ago. Isn't it too late to be checking the clothes' quality?"But Sonia had already seen the reasoning behind it. That was why she covered her mouth and giggled when she heard Cheryl's words. She said to Cheryl, "That's why Ms. Evans never stated when this video was taken."Cheryl was stunned for a moment before she came back to herself. "That way, netizens will think this happened before product selection.""That's right," confirmed Caroline with a smile. Cheryl was unsure. "But if people find out we're lying
After all, Caroline had only become the CEO of Evans Group not two months ago.More comments flooded the video. "Help, I really don't believe it's true! Is Caroline Evans really so capable? Did she really learn her company's products so well in two months?""I don't believe it either. Thinking back on when I was an intern, I could barely remember anything I learned!""Wow, so none of you know just how amazing Ms. Evans is. As her fan, let me teach you a lesson! Ms. Evans handled every detail regarding this new horoscope theme. "This is because all the old management left, so Ms. Evans had to break into the market all on her own!""Hey there, I think you're exposing yourself. Did Caroline pay you to say that?""No, no. I wasn't paid. But since the truth is out, let me tell you the full story. All of this can be verified online. Just go and look. "When Ms. Evans became Evans Group's CEO, lots of employees left. Some of them went to Evanson Corporation, too."Someone asked, "W
Layla's reputation took a downturn overnight. In addition, Evanson Corp had spent all its funds on its design staff and spokespersons, so they couldn't guarantee the high quality of their clothing. As a result, many people denounced the quality of their products online. This caused consumers who had placed orders but hadn't yet received their products to request a refund.This incident soon affected Daphne as well."Since she's a big star, she should be aware that she has a big appeal. So why couldn't she pick the right things to endorse?""She would really accept any kind of endorsement to make money!""Wow, aren't they supposed to be family? It turns out that they still had to pay her an endorsement fee.""Hahaha, I feel like laughing just thinking about this. In the livestream, they were acting so close, like family. I thought they didn't have to pay her anything, but it turns out that they had to do business, even with family.""Daphne really left a bad impression on this
"It's a pity we realized this fact too late. We're a bunch of veterans who've been in the clothing industry for so many years, but we still couldn't beat a newcomer."Everyone else lowered their heads in guilt at the man's words.He was right; Caroline had understood a simple truth like this more deeply than veterans like them. Sure enough, arrogance was a hindrance to humanity. They would have discovered the problem long ago if they had been more modest.Looking at Layla, who was still murmuring in disbelief, the man who spoke up took a step forward and took out a resignation letter. "Ms. Layla, although it is uncourteous of me to resign at this time, I feel that I can no longer make any worthwhile contributions to this company. So it's better for me to leave."After he submitted his resignation, everyone else came forward to give their resignation in succession.Layla didn't seem to hear them at all. She kept looking at her table blankly, murmuring, "I won't lose." It seemed
"Today is a great day for all of us. We have to celebrate!" Cheryl heckled.Everyone else followed suit.Caroline looked at everyone and said resignedly, "Okay, it's not a problem. From the looks of it, no one is in the mood to work anymore. "All right, Cheryl. Help us book a restaurant in a hotel.""Okay." Cheryl quickly booked a place in the hotel's restaurant.Then, everyone headed toward the hotel. When they got downstairs, they happened to bump into Luke, who had come to see Layla.Luke also saw them and wanted to hide, but it was too late.Gavin called him heartily, "What a coincidence, Mr. Luke!"Right now, the last people Luke wanted to see were Caroline and Gavin. The sight of them made his bowels twist with regret. He had really been ignorant. He should have worked with Caroline from the start. Then, he wouldn't have lost everything like he did now. "Haha, what a big coincidence, Mr. Gavin. Are you going out for food? Then, I'll leave you to it.""Oh, come on!"
Jack was about to turn around and wake Caroline up. But he saw Kirk standing outside the car wearing a windbreaker and holding a coat, gesturing for him to be quiet.Jack understood his signal and quietly unlocked the backseat door.Kirk opened the door and gently covered Caroline's face with the coat to prevent her from waking up due to the bright lights. Then, he bent down and carried Caroline in his arms.After Kirk was done, Jack exited the car and gently closed the door. When he looked up, he saw Kirk carrying Caroline. He folded his arms and leaned against the car door. After watching them for a while, he shook his head. His boss was really doting on his wife. It was a pity they were … Jack didn't even know why they were fighting, but he really hoped they could make up soon. He watched them a little longer before getting in the car and driving away.Right now, Caroline was sleeping soundly in Kirk's arms. She even had a dream. She dreamt about the day when she had becom
After all this trouble, not only had Sonia's webseries become more popular, but she also became the most sought-after celebrity in the entertainment industry.Caroline, who was considered to be the driving force behind Sonia's success, had become a hot topic in the entertainment industry. Although Caroline wasn't the real contributor, she had insisted that Sonia would succeed. On top of that, she had managed to avert danger in the case of such a serious scandal. She had even taken this opportunity to take Sonia's popularity to a higher level.Even if veterans in the entertainment industry had handled this issue, they couldn't guarantee they could bring a D-lister's popularity to such heights in such a short time.Therefore, Caroline's feats as an outsider were even more noticeable. However, she didn't pay any mind to the world's prying eyes. In the past two days, she had basically been handling investments.Since the horoscope-themed outfits had become a hit, investors had co
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
