"Caroline," came Sonia's voice. She had come back with some food. "I made it a bit bland, so I'm not sure if you'll find it okay."Caroline had a few mouthfuls and praised, "It's very good.""Really?" Sonia was overjoyed, her face lighting up. "If you like it, there's more."Caroline looked at Sonia without saying anything. Sonia found this weird and asked in curiosity, "What is it, Caroline?"Caroline asked her something back. "Do you remember the promise I made you?"Sonia thought back on it for a little while before saying hesitantly, "Are you talking about when you said you would help me become an internationally famous actress?""Yes." Caroline straightened. She looked at Sonia and said, "Ms. Weiss is an internationally famous playwright. Her coming to Easton to find an actress for 'Daughter of the Sea' is a good opportunity for you.""But …"Caroline waved her hand. "I'm sure you know that Daphne isn't suited to this role. She doesn't have the experience of being
"Ms. Weiss is only doing this because of Kirk." Avery raised her wine glass high. "Come to think of it, I should really thank Kirk. Well, cheers!"Avery and Dolly gently clinked glasses. For a moment, the living room became silent. Then, Dolly asked Avery, "By the way, do you want to come with me to Easton? You'll get to see Kirk."Ah, have he and that woman divorced?"At the mention of that, Avery's eyebrows shot up. "Not yet, but it'll happen soon enough.""Oh?" Dolly instantly became interested. "Tell me about it.""That idiot finally found out Kirk's identity. She'll divorce him soon.""Why is that? Why would she divorce him when he's so rich?" Dolly really couldn't wrap her head around Caroline's logic."Who knows?" Avery was in an outstanding mood. "The important thing is that she'll definitely divorce Kirk."Dolly smiled, too. "That's right. Then, I'll be waiting to attend your wedding with him."Avery raised her wine once again. "You contributed greatly to that
During this time, Caroline had been using challenging tasks at work as an excuse to escape the reality of Kirk being Eddy's second uncle. Now that Cheryl had brought him up, it felt like a knife stabbing into her heart, making her bleed like a waterfall. In an instant, she was overwhelmed, and she started sobbing.Cheryl's expression immediately changed. "Caroline, are you okay?"Caroline huddled against the table, biting her lip. The papers on the desk fell to the floor because of how the table was shaking.Cheryl was completely panicked and at a loss for what to do. She wanted to open the door and cry for help, but Caroline stopped her. "Don't open the door!" she shouted. She wanted to preserve some dignity."Caroline …" Cheryl's eyes had turned red, too. "What's going on?""Come help me up," Caroline said with difficulty.Cheryl had no choice but to follow instructions. She went over and helped Caroline onto a chair. When she touched Caroline, she found Caroline was mu
In the president's office of the SY Group's Easton branch office, Kirk was staring at his phone with a dark gaze. He looked like he wanted to burn a hole through the device with his glare.Standing opposite him, Charles felt like he was having an out-of-body experience. He was holding his breath and trying his best to be as unobtrusive as possible. Suddenly, there was a loud bang as the phone was smashed to pieces on the ground.Charles was frightened as he looked up at Kirk. Seeing Kirk's expression, he felt his breath leave his body.The Kirk before him now was like a wild beast. His eyes were terrifyingly red and shining with a monstrous light.Charles swallowed and clenched his fists. Finally, he braced himself and said, "Sir, we're really trying our best. "Right now, we only found out that Dolly is … an actress with Oakes Theater. We also know that she will be coming to Easton soon!""What good is that information? What good is it?" Kirk roared at Charles.This was the f
When he got hit, Kirk's body swayed. However, he quickly found his footing by supporting himself against the couch. He glanced at Sean.Sean's words suddenly cleared things up for him, like a beam of light through dark clouds.That was right. He was in pain, but wasn't Caroline suffering too? Kirk couldn't give up on himself now. What he had to do was quickly find out why she wanted to divorce him.Kirk took several deep breaths and called an internal number. "Come to the office."Half a minute later, Charles walked in warily. Seeing Kirk's swollen face and the blood under his nose, he stared at Sean in fear."Find out why Caroline wants to divorce me." Kirk's voice was terrifyingly low. He lifted his wrist to check the time before saying, "Two hours. I want your report within two hours."Charles could only ask, "What?""I don't care how you do it. Just find out the truth. I don't care if you have to beg Caroline for the answer."Charles glanced at Sean again.Seeing that Ki
Kirk must have purposely made Charles come and see her. After all, Kirk knew that she would never make things difficult for innocent people.Besides, Caroline wouldn't change her mind about the divorce, no matter who Kirk sent. Reinforcing her determination on this decision, Caroline finally said, "Let him in.""Alright."After Cheryl walked out, Sonia spoke up. "Caroline, do you need me to leave?"After some thought, Caroline nodded. "Wait for me in the waiting room next door. I still have some things to tell you. You're not in a rush to leave, are you?""No, no. I'm free," Sonia said with a smile. "I've declined all gigs so that I can get this role."Caroline replied, "Helena must be lecturing you non-stop because of that."Sonia swallowed. She didn't tell Caroline about just how angry Helena was about all this.Helena was already incensed that she still wanted to compete for the lead role in "Daughter of the Sea". After finding out that she had rejected all other gigs,
Cheryl was confused when she came into the office. "Mr. Lane," he said.Charles threw a panicked glance at Caroline. He really didn't know how to explain things. Thus, he could only try to keep her calm. "Madam, there must be a misunderstanding here. Please calm down first. Don't act rashly."After saying that, Charles rushed to leave. He had to tell Kirk about this as soon as possible. In the beginning, he had submitted documents to say that Kirk was already married so that Jude wouldn't become suspicious. However, the documents never stated who Kirk's wife was. Caroline must have found out about this from that mystery person. Charles was sure about it.Once Charles left, the strength that had been holding Caroline together disappeared. She slumped into her chair as her complexion turned pale.Seeing this, Cheryl got a huge fright. She felt extremely worried for Caroline. "Caroline …" she called. Caroline waved her off. "Get Sonia to come in," she said.Cheryl tried aga
When he thought about Caroline's text about seeing each other at City Hall on Wednesday, Kirk got even more upset.Luckily, Charles already had a suspect. Soon, he found out that Daphne had indeed sent Caroline a message while Caroline and Kirk had been in Macovo. Plus, the timing was very close. That meant that it was most likely Daphne who had done it.With this proof, Charles immediately went to see Kirk. "Sir, look at this."When he saw the proof, Kirk immediately frowned. "Call Daphne."At this, Charles quickly piped up. "Sir, please calm down first. If you call Ms. Dawson now, Mr. Morrison Senior will find out about it and slowly discover your relationship with the madam. "When the time comes, your identity will be exposed without a doubt if Mr. Morrison Senior tells the madam about it."Charles knew what Kirk wanted to do by calling Daphne. Indeed, it was despicable that Daphne had gone against the terms of her contract and told Caroline about her position. Yet, any s
