Caroline raised Dolly's chin. "Tell me, why did you put on that act? And who ordered you to do that?""I-I don't know. I don't know anything." Dolly shook her head, trying to break free from Caroline's grasp. However, she immediately felt immense pain in her jaw. Caroline's strength was utterly unlike that of a woman."How about now?" Caroline glared at Dolly. The look in her eyes was terrifying.Somehow, Dolly noticed that she had the same intimidating air as Kirk. She couldn't resist looking up at Kirk. Kirk's eyes were cold as they followed Caroline's movements from his spot a distance away. He wasn't looking at her at all. It was as if he didn't know her. But she was Avery's friend!Moreover, she was an actress whose appearance was top-notch. She couldn't believe Kirk didn't remember her at all. Before Dolly could continue her internal rants, she felt another wave of pain in her jaw. She took a breath. ""I-I'll talk! I-It was …"Everyone looked over at Dolly, including t
At this moment, Caroline's doubts about Kirk completely disappeared. It seemed that Daphne was behind this entire ordeal."I don't have any more questions." She stood up. She looked at Kirk before quickly shifting her gaze away. "What about you guys?"Kirk smiled slightly at her actions. "I don't.""Then, let's go home." Caroline kicked the gravel under her feet.Kirk grabbed Caroline's hand. "Okay."This time, Caroline didn't struggle.When Charles saw them walk out of the warehouse hand in hand, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had successfully resolved this crisis.Charles looked back at Dolly. Then, as if he thought of something, he hurriedly ran out. "Sir, I have something to tell you."Kirk looked at Caroline.Caroline said, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you in the car."After getting Caroline's permission, Kirk walked toward Charles.Charles waited for Caroline to get in the car before saying, "Sir, what should we do about Ms. Daphne?""Let her
Charles had seen many women like Daphne. He bent down and ripped Daphne's arms away from his thigh, both sympathetically and coldly. "You'll be living here for now, Ms. Dawson. I'll ask your manager to tell the outside world that you're injured and need to rest. Take care of yourself." With that, he walked out of the room and slammed the door shut.Daphne stared at the door, still unwilling to accept the truth. "N-no! This isn't true! Caroline can't be Mr. Kirk's wife! I-I am ..."But no matter how much she cried, no one came in to console her. After an unknown amount of time, her cell phone rang.Daphne wiped away her tears. She picked up her phone and saw it was an unknown number. She wasn't in the mood to answer the phone, but the caller was persistent.Daphne was so angry that she answered the call and yelled, "Why the hell are you calling me, you crazy mutt? I'll fucking kill you!""Oh gosh, a public figure like you is losing your mind. It seems that Caroline has caused
In a restaurant, Gwen's mouth was open in shock from hearing Caroline explain the whole story. "A-Are you for real?"Caroline nodded."T-That's just absurd. Do you believe it, Carol?"Caroline looked down at the tableware in front of her. "It is absurd. I didn't believe it at first, but various signs are pointing to it being true."Gwen said, "I still find it weird that Eddy's second uncle asked someone to make a fake certificate. "However, the minds of rich people aren't something we ordinary people can understand. Maybe he did ask Kirk and Daphne to register their marriage to make a fake certificate."She paused, then continued, "After all, if he registered the marriage himself, he would lose half of his property if they divorced. "So what's your next move? Are you going to forgive Kirk and pretend this incident never happened, or …"Caroline picked up her fork and poked at the food on her plate. "I don't know either. That's why I invited you here."Gwen laughed. "Carol, y
Caroline's text read, "Have you eaten? I made a little too much food for dinner."Right now, Kirk was sitting in his office, listening to his subordinates' reports about their work progress. He had a gloomy expression as he listened. He looked so terrifying that the subordinate trembled in fear, almost biting his tongue several times.Everyone else was also nervous, and they didn't dare to breathe. This tense situation had lasted for over a month. Everyone was exhausted.Just at this moment, everyone heard a sharp ring in the office. Apparently, someone hadn't muted their phone. No one could believe someone still made such a stupid mistake at a crucial time like this. They secretly cursed the person who hadn't silenced their phone.The next second, Kirk picked up his phone and looked at it.Everyone was silent. Before they could recover from their fear, they saw a smile appear on Kirk's face for the first time in a month. The sight shocked everyone so much that their jaws drop
Jude's eyes widened at Simon's words. "Simon, what proof do you have for that theory of yours?"Simon hurriedly stepped forward and rubbed Jude's back. "Sir, please calm down. I'm just making a guess. I don't have any proof."Jude calmed down slightly at his words. "Then tell me, what made you think this way?"Simon explained, "Sir, don't you think it's weird? Ms. Evans had zero help behind the scenes. There's no way she could have beaten Evanson Corp, a company that Morrison Corp funded, at a complete disadvantage." He continued, "Also, Mr. Kirk and Ms. Dawson said they lived together, but Mr. Kirk rarely goes to her house. "So where does he live when he is in Easton? Why can't we find any information about him? The most suspicious thing was that Marietta Weiss came to Easton to cast auditions for Mr. Kirk's sake. "Logically speaking, since Ms. Dawson is Mr. Kirk's wife, she would have definitely gotten the lead role. "However, Sonia, someone Ms. Evans values, ended up gett
"Yeah." Sean looked inside, and sure enough, he didn't see Gwen. He asked reluctantly, "Isn't Gwen here?"Caroline asked in response, "Why would she be here?"Sean was silent."Don't tell me you're here to see her?" Caroline asked, holding back a smile.Sean stammered, "N-No …""Oh, so you don't want to see her. It's a good thing I didn't call her.""You're going to call her?""Yeah, but since you don't want to see her, I'd better not call her.""Don't!" Sean panicked, but when he saw Caroline smiling, he realized he had been tricked. He laughed. "Not bad, Caroline. It's true that birds of the same feather flock together. You've become as evil as Kirk after getting so close to him."Caroline's face turned red at his words. She lowered her head and said bashfully, "As if I'm close to him! All right, I'm going to check on the pork stew." Then, she turned around and entered the kitchen.Kirk wanted to follow her, but Sean grabbed him. "Kirk—"Kirk massaged his forehead be
Caroline didn't know how long had passed before Kirk finally let her go. But the lingering effects of his kiss still didn't fade. Her face became increasingly warm, and her heart pounded like it was about to burst out of her chest. She felt an all-too-familiar flutter in her chest. As she listened to the rapid pounding of her heart, she knew she had fallen into Kirk's hands.Just then, there was a knock on the door. Caroline was about to open the door when she heard Sean's voice outside. "I'll get it!" He sounded excited as if a distinguished had arrived.After punching Kirk in embarrassment, Caroline mused, "Who's here?" Who could make Sean this excited?Kirk looked at Caroline with a bright smile. Caroline's legs turned to jelly from what she saw. His gaze was too direct. He was being so blunt that she could tell what he wanted."We still have guests here." Caroline reminded Kirk not to mess around and pushed him. However, Kirk still planted kisses on her lips. Then, they
