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, the curtains onstage lifted. The selection committee members all took their seats. Only Marietta's seat remained empty.Caroline really liked this renowned playwright, especially her cutting language style. It always drew her interest. That was why she was so excited to see Marietta. She tried her best to focus on Marietta's seat, but her gaze still automatically drifted to the person next to her. The man beside her still had his legs on her thighs. With the lights dimmed in the theater, others might think that their legs were only pressed together, but Caroline knew how much contact Kirk had with her.A memory played like a movie in her head. Caroline used up all her energy not to look over at Kirk in her peripheral vision. Why was it so hard?She remembered that it hadn't been so hard when she had had to forget Eddy before. As Caroline's thoughts were in a mess, a flurry of footsteps came from behind them. She took a breath and turned her head toward the source of

Onstage, the first few people to audition were the minor celebrities. They probably hadn't even taken a single glance at the script. They made a mess of the audition. After watching a few of these auditions, Caroline lost interest in watching more.Marietta was the same. Backstage, Daphne was also watching the performances. Seeing how badly the others were doing, she finally relaxed. She looked at Sonia, who was still memorizing her lines, and said mockingly, "No matter how well you do or how well you know the lines, I'll still be the star of the show. That's why …"Daphne got up and walked behind Sonia. Purposefully bending down, she said in Sonia's ear, "Having skills is useless. The best is to get a backer."Sonia looked up and frowned. "Ms. Dawson, you're disturbing me."Daphne immediately slapped the script out of Sonia's grip. "What's the act for? I'm telling you now. If you hadn't been popular right now, I would have had you blacklisted. Do you believe that?"Sonia sw

Daphne wanted to become a world-renowned star through this role in "Daughter of the Sea". That way, maybe she could become Kirk's real wife."Are we ready to start?"Seeing the specially chosen actress standing on the stage without starting even after a long while, Marietta couldn't help but frown.Daphne quickly gathered her drifting thoughts. With a smile, she answered, "Yes."As she said this, she walked to the center of the stage and bowed before starting her performance.Since Marietta's script had to be kept extremely confidential, all the celebrities had only been given a sample portion. One of the scenes involved the main character, Grace Fawkes, overseas and accidentally discovering she wasn't an orphan. Instead, her mother was still alive and actually living in the same country. With the help of her boyfriend, Grace finally found her mother.Faced with the mother who had been absent for more than 20 years, Grace couldn't find it in her to forgive her. After an argum

Right then, Daphne completed her performance onstage. Marietta nodded shallowly, obviously not quite pleased with Daphne's performance.Indeed, that was what she thought. Since Daphne had been internally decided to get the role, this made Marietta sure that Daphne couldn't act at all. She didn't expect that Daphne could actually act. Although she wasn't that good, she was still better than some others.But when Marietta looked at Daphne's face …Marietta held back her myriad dissatisfactions. In any case, there were many flaws in this script. She was determined to write something new later on. She would consider this work not to be her own.With that thought, Marietta could accept Daphne. Seeing Marietta nodding, a look of joy lit up in Daphne's eyes. She bowed before leaving the stage.Sonia was next to perform.Caroline looked up and focused all her attention on the stage. She ignored Kirk. Kirk had no choice but to follow her line of sight and look toward the stage a

As soon as the producer gave his statement, several celebrities present took a harsh breath and looked over at the unfortunate Sonia. A few people even whispered among themselves."Isn't this equivalent to partially banning her from the industry?"Collins Group was now working with Eddy's second uncle, so their reach in the industry was more than doubled. Right now, Collins Group was involved in just about any TV show or movie, and their authority in the entertainment industry was nearly similar to that of the Morrisons."How sad." Someone knowledgeable whispered, "I heard Sonia's manager didn't support her decision to join this audition.""Why is she still here if her manager doesn't approve?""I heard her financial benefactor insisted on her coming.""Do you mean Caroline?""Yeah.""So Sonia is here because Caroline said so? She's really compliant. Can Caroline even be trusted? "Even her choice to endorse Sonia was a shot in the dark, and she happened to be lucky that S

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
