Sarah continued, "Not bad! This place isn't bad at all." Caroline snarled, "Get out!"Sarah's expression shifted at her words, and she looked like she was about to cry. "Carrie, you're not the only one who worked hard for this company. Your father, grandfather, and the people before him have poured their blood, sweat, and tears into this place."How can you kick me out the moment I step foot in here?Caroline didn't have time to hear Sarah rambling on. "If you don't leave right now, I'll get security to throw you out."Seeing Caroline refuse to show her any mercy, Sarah was so angry that she put her hands on her hips. She said, "Believe me. I can get Evans Group back right now!"Caroline scoffed. "What makes you think you can do that? You, of all people, should know what this company had become under your management. "You're right. All of you did put your blood, sweat, and tears into this place, but your efforts didn't benefit the company at all. Instead, your efforts cont
"I'm not too sure either. I only know that Mr. Eddy took action to settle things for them."Caroline frowned even more at Gavin's words. She said derisively, "Sarah and Dan have embezzled so much money. Eddy is the biggest victim here. "But not only did he not hold them accountable, he even helped them solve their predicament. He's truly a living saint."Gavin said wryly, "I know, right? I don't understand why Mr. Eddy would help them."Caroline pinched the bridge of her brows. Layla was probably the one who begged Eddy for help. If this wasn't true love, she didn't know what it was.Caroline suppressed her boiling anger. Eddy was willing to help Sarah and Dan because of Layla. But why was Layla helping Sarah and Dan?Dan wasn't the CEO of Evans Group anymore. Apart from a villa, he didn't have anything else of value. Perhaps Sarah hadn't just been spewing nonsense. Maybe she did have a way to take back the company.As Caroline thought about their despicable methods, anothe
Cheryl smiled shyly at Caroline's words. "It would be great if Jack could be as sweet as you.""You can just take your time to teach him the ways of a smooth operator," Caroline teased."Caroline!""All right. Go back to work for now.""Okay!" Cheryl turned around and left the office enthusiastically.Caroline shook her head. The world was a mysterious place. Gwen was afraid of being in a stable relationship, while Cheryl yearned to be in one. It would be great if two of them could balance each other's flaws.Just as she was thinking about it, Gwen called her.Caroline answered the phone. "Why didn't you text me yesterday?"Gwen's voice was a little hoarse as she answered, "I was a bit busy."Caroline immediately realized something was off. She questioned, "Didn't Sean take you home yesterday? What were you busy with?"Gwen was lying down on the couch. She glanced at Sean, who was busy in the kitchen, and stretched her waist. She said slyly, "Things an innocent maiden l
After replying to Kirk's text, Caroline sent him another text after a moment's thought. "I'll be home on time."When Kirk saw her text, he knew that she didn't understand what he was worried about. But her ignorance made him feel at ease. It proved that she still believed what he said without any doubts, and she had no suspicions about his identity.Nearby, Charles had long noticed that Kirk was lost in thought. He reassured, "You should take it easy, sir. Although Mr. Morrison Senior has begun suspecting you're the madam's husband, you've never taken a photo with him. "Even if he's suspicious of you, he wouldn't have a photo to show her to confirm his theories."Kirk's eyes darkened at his words. He said, "Just because he doesn't have a photo now doesn't mean he won't have one in the future."He had to find the right time to tell Caroline about his identity. Otherwise, this fact would eventually become a ticking time bomb for him. It constantly made him uneasy.However, the
However, today, Eddy had only found out Caroline was here when he called Simon, and he heard him say that he had to prepare dinner. Upon hearing the news, he had immediately stopped what he was doing and hurried home.However, he hadn't expected Jude to despise his presence here. He said, "I left something at home."Jude glanced at Eddy, but he didn't expose his lie. Ever since he had discovered that disagreeing with Eddy was effective, he kept this method in mind. Now, not only had he stopped matchmaking Eddy and Caroline, but he even deliberately opposed them getting together. He hoped that, by doing this, Eddy and Caroline could get married before he died."Then, you should leave after you get them." Jude said flatly, "Don't interrupt my chat with Carrie."Eddy was speechless. Was Jude an imposter or something?"Grandpa, since I'm already home, I'll have dinner with you here. It's almost dinner time anyway."After Eddy said this, Caroline noticed he was right. It was a
After a long while, Kirk replied, "All right. I'll check my schedule, and I'll let you know when I'm free.""Okay," Caroline replied with a smile emoji. "I'll be having my dinner now. Make sure you have an early dinner, too."Kirk replied, "Okay."However, his eyes were still fixed on Caroline's previous messages. That old man insisted on confirming things with his own eyes. He would only give up after seeing that Caroline's husband wasn't him. If Kirk didn't meet up with Jude, that old man would definitely get to the bottom of things. But if he did, his identity would be exposed. Perhaps he could confess the truth to Caroline before meeting Jude. However, if he did that …Kirk's mind was in a mess. He narrowed his eyes. He tapped his fingers on the table, his gaze becoming darker and darker.…Meanwhile, Jude ignored Eddy throughout the entire dinner and only talked with Caroline. "You should eat more of this, Carrie. You've lost a lot of weight. You must ask your husb
Eddy looked at Jude sadly. "Grandpa, are you—"Jude smiled and said to Eddy, "Eddy, I was wrong for constantly pressuring you to marry Caroline. It ruined the relationship between the two of you. "I've thought about things recently, and I shouldn't have interfered with your relationship. Don't worry. I'll agree to whoever you want to marry from now on."After a pause, Jude continued, "By the way, weren't you considering getting married to Layla? I've thought about it too. You're already a grownup, so it's time to start a family."Eddy's spoon fell to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick it up. After a long while, he raised his head from under the table and asked in disbelief, "Ahem. Grandpa, are you for real?"Jude said with a smile, "Of course."Eddy coughed more violently.Jude pretended not to notice anything and asked, "What's wrong, Eddy? Are you that happy? I was wrong before. I promise I won't make the same mistake again."Eddy coughed even more. He couldn't say a
Both Caroline and Eddy fell silent. None of them took the initiative to speak in the car. To be honest, she found the silence rather pleasant. Unfortunately for her, Eddy chose to break the silence by saying, "Don't take what Grandpa said to heart." Confused, Caroline turned to look at him. "What are you talking about?" Eddy knitted his brows and said, "When he said he wanted you and your husband to live a good life together." Straightening her back, she told him, "Are you going to tell me to get a divorce then? Who are you to say those words? How I live my life is none of your business!"Eddy opened his mouth to retort, but in the end, all he could say was, "He's not the one for you." "How is he not the one for me?" Caroline snapped. She could turn a blind eye if they were talking about something else, but not when it concerned Kirk."I don't believe there's any man who's more deserving of me than him," she said."Have you heard of soulmates before? He's my soulmate. Al
