Chapter 495

Author: Shining Riviera
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

    Early the next morning, Caroline and Sonia set off for the audition. The audition was being held at the International Center for Dramatic Arts. Helena didn't show up. Sonia felt very awkward about it. She said, "Caroline, let me call Helena.""Alright."Caroline could guess why Helena hadn't come. However, she didn't say anything about it. She only watched as Sonia walked off.After walking a distance from Caroline, Sonia finally dialed Helena's number. "Helena, why aren't you here yet? The audition will be starting soon."Helena replied, "Things will be the same whether I'm there or not. The role belongs to Daphne Dawson, anyway." After a pause, she continued, "Sonia, you have to trust me. If you come back now, we can still get that TV show in the bag.""Helena—""Enough," Helena said, cutting Sonia off. "After so many years working with you, I know your character. You won't give up before you run into a few dead ends. "I don't want to say too much more, but I will say

    "Ms. Evans, Sonia."Caroline looked at the smile on Daphne's face and felt a fire burning in her chest. Her gaze settled on the reporters enthusiastically snapping pictures behind Daphne, and the rage on her face melted into a smile."Ms. Dawson."Daphne felt like Caroline was different from before. However, she couldn't put her finger on what was different. Thinking about how the role would definitely be hers, though, she didn't care anymore.She was grinning as she looked at Caroline. Lowering her voice, she said in Caroline's ear, "You sure are brave. Everyone knows this role is mine, but you still showed up anyway."Since they were so close, everyone thought they were whispering to each other and assumed that they had a close relationship.The smile on Caroline's face widened. "Do you think it's yours just because you say so?"Amusement tinted Daphne's eyes. "Oh, are you really naive enough to believe that talent is more important than having a backer in the entertainmen

    By the time Caroline turned for a look, the woman was already gone. She couldn't help but ask a nearby staff member, "Who was that just now?"The staff member scratched their head awkwardly. "She's one of the selection committee members. Sorry, I'm bad with faces, so I don't know which judge she is."Caroline smiled and said, "Thank you."She didn't ask the staff member any more questions. Once they got to the seats, she went to the area reserved for managers under the staff's member's guidance. There were only a few people there. They were probably the managers of the minor celebrities. When they saw Caroline's unfamiliar face, they didn't come forward to greet her.Caroline didn't feel like exchanging pleasantries, either. She checked her phone instead. Other than a message from Cheryl, no one had tried to contact her.Caroline hadn't even told Gwen about the divorce. After all, Gwen was in a bad place in her love life now, too. Besides, because of her parents, she had alw

    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
