Caroline sat up on the bed. She was simply too happy for Marietta. "That's wonderful! Where is she?" "I haven't found her yet." Marietta sounded a little down. "I only know that a couple from Easton adopted her and that they're from Osbury. I've discussed it with my assistant, and I'll be flying there tonight."Caroline checked the time. It should be night-time on Marietta's side now. "When will your flight land? I can pick you up.""You don't have to," replied Marietta. "I'll thank you properly once I manage to find my daughter." Caroline smiled. "Okay. I'll be waiting for good news." "That's all, I guess. I have to make preparations for something else." "Okay." Caroline ended the call just in time to see Kirk enter the room with a glass of water. She could sense the jealousy in his voice when he spoke. "Who called you? Why are you so happy?" "It was Marietta." Caroline laughed. "What is it? Are you jealous of a woman?" Kirk froze. He had assumed that Eddy had

"I know. I would wait for you," said Caroline. "I would wait for you until you appear." "What if I don't?" asked Kirk. "Then, I'll continue waiting for you until you do." Kirk fell silent. After some time, he ruffled her hair and said softly, "Time to sleep." Taking his hands in hers, she stared right into his eyes. "It seems to me that you're not satisfied with my answer." Her gaze made him burn inside, and he said, "If you don't sleep now, I'll—""I was wrong!" Caroline yelped and ducked under the blankets. Kirk chuckled as he watched her wriggle like a caterpillar in a cocoon. Despite the smile that hung on his lips, his eyes had a hint of sorrow in them. As long as the problem of his identity existed, blissful days like this would feel as surreal as a dream. Three days later, Caroline received a call from Marietta, who invited her out for a meal. Naturally, she didn't hesitate to accept the invitation. Nevertheless, Marietta wasn't familiar with things in Os

"The big four families?" Caroline pondered out loud. "I don't know anyone who had been adopted into those families." Strangely, though, a child would appear out of the blue in some of the families. Then, the families would claim that the child's parents were their relatives' or even say that one of the women in their families had given birth to the child out of town.To put it simply, they wanted to spare themselves the embarrassment of admitting that the child was illegitimate. These children certainly weren't adopted. After all, the families took bloodlines very seriously. They would never allow an outsider's blood to taint their bloodlines. "Please help me take note of this then," said Marietta as she glanced at Caroline. "I've only just gotten some news about my daughter.""Don't worry," Caroline told her. "I'll help you ask around." "Thank you so much, Carrie." "No worries. It's the least I can do." They chatted some more and soon arrived at the restaurant.

Caroline and Cheryl simply ate in silence. After taking their meals, they bought themselves coffee from one of the coffee shops along the street. The shopkeeper recognized Marietta and couldn't stop asking to take a picture with her. Although Marietta was a person with a sharp tongue, she was surprisingly very kind to her fans and agreed to the shopkeeper's request without much hesitation. Hence, Caroline and Cheryl waited for Marietta in the coffee shop. When she was done taking photos with the shopkeeper, Marietta rejoined Caroline and Cheryl. Then, three of them went to a shopping mall nearby to get some clothes for Cheryl. Cheryl paled when they entered one of the stores in the mall. "Caroline, aren't the clothes here super expensive?" Just by glancing at the clothes on display, she could tell that the clothes in the store would cost her an arm and a leg. It came as a total surprise that the store would lay out a Portian Gulf carpet at its entrance for its customers.

Caroline wasn't one to gossip. She wanted to ask Cook about what had happened.Just then, she heard someone mumble timidly from behind her. "Sorry!" She frowned upon hearing the voice. The person who was apologizing was none other than Cheryl. Turning around, Caroline looked in the direction of Cheryl's voice to see a haggard-looking Cheryl standing at the door of a fitting room with a bundle of clothes in one arm. A woman with an ugly frown stood some distance away from Cheryl and the fitting room. Her wrathful face made her look as though she was a cat whose tail had just been stepped on. A tall woman with prominent facial features stood behind the angry woman. Caroline instantly recognized the tall woman. She was Aurora Jenner, the infamous actress who was known worldwide. As one of the first few actresses who had made a name for herself in Macldo, she had been Easton's pride.Nevertheless, she was no longer brought up that often ever since she changed her nationalit

Aurora fell silent after that. Caroline was sure that Aurora couldn't care less about what her fans thought of her. As someone who had superb acting skills and had produced dozens of films, Aurora never needed to worry about losing her fans' support. Her skills in acting were like an unlimited pass that granted her whatever she wished for. Caroline had merely mentioned the possibility of losing her fans' support to test the waters. "Hurry up and call the cops then. We don't have time to lose." She quirked an eyebrow."Don't cry for mercy when the cops arrive!" Amy yelled. Caroline's demeanor made her even more pissed, and she immediately dialed 911.Just as the call was answered, Caroline said, "Don't worry about that. I won't cry. I just wonder if the Hacketts will cry out of desperation when they hear of this. "After all, Ms. Jenner and the Hacketts are quite close." Aurora's expression shifted a little at Caroline's words. She snatched the phone from Amy's hands, sma

The second Marietta saw Aurora, her expression instantly turned cold. She asked, "Who are you? Do I know you?"Aurora choked at that, her face nearly twisting up. Then, she managed to say, "Hello. My name is Aurora Jenner. I'm a fan of yours."Marietta looked her up and down. She was a very good judge of a character. With one glance, she could immediately see what sort of person Aurora was. She didn't want to speak to Aurora at all. She walked over to Caroline and said intimately, "Carrie, what's going on?" She had heard the sound of someone being hit just now. But she hadn't followed after Caroline. For thing, she was a well-known person. So she got involved, the matter would escalate. Secondly, she was an outsider, so she wasn't at leisure to intervene. That was why she had stayed in the lounge.However, Caroline hadn't returned even after Marietta had waited for a long time. Feeling ill at ease, she had come over to take a look.Caroline replied, "I'm fine, Aunt Mary.

Caroline smiled and said, "They must apologize to Cheryl for their unreasonable behavior."Cheryl quickly added, "They should apologize to Caroline for their haughty attitude, too."After saying this, Caroline and Cheryl met each other's gaze and smile.Marietta took both their suggestions. "Heard that?" she said as she looked at Amy and Aurora. She didn't say anything more.Aurora bit her lip without saying anything. It had been a long time since she had apologized to anybody. In contrast, Amy was much quicker to bend.After Marietta spoke, Amy lowered her head and apologized repeatedly. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I was wrong to offend you. I didn't know that you were Ms. Weiss' friends. It's all my fault. Please forgive me!"Marietta smiled mockingly as she settled her gaze on Aurora.Aurora clenched her fists. She still couldn't force herself to apologize to Cheryl and Caroline. In her eyes, these two women were nobodies. They didn't have the right to receive an apology from h

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
