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
"Not a problem. If you don't mind it, you can have a meal at my place, too.""Really?""Of course." Caroline was amused by Marietta's adorable reaction."Then it's settled." Marietta took out her phone and opened her calendar. "I'm free on Wednesday. Does that work?"Caroline replied, "It won't be a problem at all."Things at Evans Group weren't too busy lately. Caroline was so free that she was starting to feel bored. Originally, she had been planning to acquire Mackey Group. It was just a shame that Sloan's father had died for some reason. Afterward, Mackey Group had been mercilessly split to pieces by its shareholders. Now, it was in ruins. Caroline was worrying herself about which company to acquire for Kirk so that she could get him to quit his current job.At the thought of Kirk, Caroline thought about Eddy's second uncle.She had heard that Marietta had a good relationship with Eddy, so Caroline couldn't help her curiosity. She asked, "Aunt Mary, have you met the
Cheryl went on. "Caroline's husband is way more handsome than the young guys in the entertainment industry. "I've always thought that he could rise among all the male celebrities if he ever went into the entertainment industry.""Is that so?" Marietta's eyes lit up at the mention of handsome men. "I'm starting to look forward to Wednesday's date."Caroline was confounded as she watched Cheryl and Marietta. Right then, in the president's office of SY Group's Easton headquarters, Kirk was grimly looking at Daphne on the screen.After settling his work, he had started thinking about how to deal with Daphne. He couldn't drag things out any longer.Charles had not only found tiny, unnoticeable surveillance devices in Daphne's room, but also that Simon was searching for photos of Kirk.These two matters made Kirk feel rushed to make a decision as soon as possible.He narrowed his eyes as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. His gaze was conflicted as he looked out the window
When Caroline got home, she inadvertently noticed Kirk already in the kitchen, busy cooking. She put her bag away and sneaked up to Kirk before embracing him from behind."Don't move. You're being held up."Kirk smiled in the middle of cooking when he heard this. "I can't give you any money, but I can give you my body."Caroline's face went red. "Who says I want that?""Then take my life." Kirk turned around and wrapped his arms around Caroline's waist to lift her up. "However, my naughty thing, could you bear to do it?"Under Kirk's deep gaze, Caroline's ears went red as well. She turned her head unhappily and said, "Put me down."Kirk started to caress Caroline's body with his fingers. "You're already in my arms. Do you think a thief would let you go at this point? Babe, you're so naive."Caroline was so embarrassed that she thumped Kirk in the chest. "Meanie! You're the naughty one."Kirk turned off the stove and gently held Caroline's wrists together. He intentionally licke
When it came down to it, Caroline wanted to experience the kind of joy that came from having the support of her parents. She knew that Marietta would praise her for her taste when she met Kirk.Seeing Caroline duck her head, Kirk felt a twist in his heart. He blurted out, "You want me to meet Marietta?"These words sounded extremely familiar. So much so that Caroline instinctually denied it. "No, no. It's all up to you."Caroline didn't want Kirk to do something he didn't like because of her.Feeling helpless, Kirk looked adoringly at Caroline. "Didn't you say that Marietta Weiss is a renowned playwright? We might have to work with her in the future, too. It wouldn't be a bad thing to meet her, right?"Caroline's eyebrows flew upward. "We're going to work with her?"She didn't dare to imagine it.Kirk laughed. "Of course. Maybe we will still be working on Marietta's works."Caroline ran out of the bathroom and threw her arms around Kirk's neck. "Honey, how are you so great?"
