Chapter 633

Author: Shining Riviera
After hanging up, Caroline played Gwen's super long voice message.

It started with Gwen guffawing. "Carol, do you know who I bumped into when I went to visit my mom at the hospital just now? I met Eddy!"

"He's wrapped in bandages like a mummy!" she exclaimed.

"The doctors and nurses said that one of the elders in the Morrison family beat him up!"

"This is karma at its best!"

Gwen laughed and added, "Just who was the person who did this to him?"

Caroline didn't respond. She just listened quietly to Gwen.

Perhaps it was because Jude had taken a bullet for her that she didn't find any of this funny. Although she disliked Eddy and his family, he was Jude's grandson.

Gwen abruptly noticed that Caroline's status remained "typing …" for quite some time.

Gingerly, she messaged Caroline again. "Carol, I shouldn't have said that, right?"

When Caroline saw the message, she froze momentarily before smiling wryly at the screen to reply. "Nope. It's my problem."

"What's wrong?"

    "Okay. Let's meet at Mayflower Square then?" asked Caroline."Alright," Sean replied. "I'll head there right away." Now that Sean had agreed to it, Caroline got ready to head out. Edith noticed this and asked, "Madam, where are you going?""Shopping." "Where?" The question made Caroline frown a little. "Mayflower Square. What's the matter?""It's nothing," said Edith. "I just wanted to know if I could tag along."The suspicion in Caroline's eyes vanished upon hearing that. "Where do you want to go? I can take you along with me." "Never mind. We're not headed in the same direction," Edith said. "I'll take the bus there.""Okay then. Take care. I'm leaving.""You too, madam." After seeing Caroline off, Edith hurried to message Kirk and inform him of Caroline's whereabouts. After Caroline picked up Gwen, they both headed straight to Mayflower Square. On the way, though, they got stuck in a traffic jam. "You must be kidding me!" Gwen exclaimed as she poked her head

    Gwen tried to stop herself from giving it away, but Caroline still noticed that something was wrong with her. "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?" Caroline asked and turned to follow Gwen's gaze. Gwen thought of raising her hands to block Caroline's view, but it was all too late. The latter's foot hit the brakes, causing the car to come to an abrupt halt. "Carol," said Gwen as she looked at Caroline's startled expression. "Don't get mad yet. Maybe he has his reasons for doing this." She turned to look in Kirk's direction once again, but he had gotten into a car. "Let's tail him and see where he's headed. We shouldn't let history repeat itself and misunderstand him again," Gwen pouted all while tugging at Caroline's sleeve. For a moment, Caroline pursed her lips in silence. "No matter what he does later on, I'll beat him up when we catch him red-handed, and you can't stop me by then!" "I won't! I won't!" Gwen said in haste, worried about Caroline's condition. "Let me

    "Kirk, where are you now?" Sean asked. Stopping in his tracks, Kirk glanced up at the building before him and said in a lowered voice, "The old villa."The word "villa" was all it took for Sean to know exactly where Kirk was.It was the place Kirk had purchased right after coming back to Easton to settle the urgent matter regarding Caroline. After being captured, Howard had also been sent to the old villa. Hence, Kirk had probably gone back there to see Howard. Figuring this out, Sean quickly told him, "Don't go and see Howard. Caroline, Gwen, and I were supposed to meet at Mayflower Square, but she changed routes on her way here."Sean continued, "She isn't here yet. I'm afraid that something happened to her." "What?" Kirk already had a hand on the doorknob, but he turned around right after hearing Sean's words. He was about to tell Sean something when he heard the guard's voice. "Missus, I've told you that this is an old residential area," said the guard. "No one com

    Looking as pale as a sheet, Caroline pushed through the door. That villa right there was …Ignoring the chauffeur, Caroline swept her eyes around the house. It was an old and unfurnished villa. There was dust everywhere. She could even see footsteps on the ground. The footsteps were clear, so the person they belonged to probably came in here not long ago.She glanced at the footsteps and thought that the person's shoe size was similar to Kirk's "Carol, is Kirk here?" Gwen asked after entering the villa and seeing the footsteps. "He probably is." Caroline took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She then followed the footsteps forward. Soon, they saw a basement. Its door was open. Panic washed over Gwen, and she gripped Caroline's hand. "Carol, this place gives me the creeps. It could be dangerous here. We shouldn't head in." Caroline considered the suggestion and said, "You can stay outside. I'll go in there alone. If I don't come back up after half an hour—"

    "I thought it was just a prank. I had nothing to lose anyway, so I came here to see for myself," said Kirk. "I didn't expect to meet you two here. How did you know about this place?" "Says the perpetrator," Gwen complained. "Why didn't you tell Carol that you came here for Howard? Why did you lie by telling her that you were on a business trip?"You made us think that you're up to no good again." Gwen wasn't pleased. Hearing this, Kirk turned to Caroline to apologize to her. "Sorry, darling. It's not that I didn't want to tell you about it. I was just afraid that you would …"It dawned on Gwen that she had misunderstood Kirk all this time. Howard was the person who had caused Jude's death, while Caroline had witnessed the entire thing. She hadn't even recovered from the trauma that Howard had caused her. So seeing Howard was akin to sending her on a trip down memory lane to the day of Jude's death. Gwen regretted her decision terribly. She shouldn't have brought Caroline

    "You might not have met him," said Gwen. "But he might've seen you lots of times before. Think about it." She counted her fingers and added, "Besides the incident related to Howard last time, he even helped you with the PR problem during Mr. Morrison Senior's banquet back then. "Why would he keep an eye on you if he had no feelings for you?" Caroline knitted her brows. Gwen's words made sense. After all, nothing came for free, and no one would be so kind for no reason at all."But you shouldn't worry about it too much." Gwen continued, "You're attending Mr. Morrison Senior's funeral soon, right? You'll get to see Eddy's second uncle there."By then, you can poke around and be discreet when you ask him about it," said Gwen. "If we overthink things, you'll just have to avoid him in the future. If he has eyes for you, though, you would have to hurry and ask Kirk to resign." "I know." Caroline nodded to show her understanding. Gwen patted her on the shoulder to reassure h

    "Just kill me, will you? Please, Kirk! Just kill me!" Kirk watched as Howard begged for mercy. He felt as though he were watching a lowlife squirm and wail in agony, and he sneered at Howard. Just then, they heard the sounds of police sirens coming from outside. Howard's eyes shone with hope. "Caroline must've called the police," he said. "You deserved it! It's all because you didn't tell her the truth about your identity. She didn't know that you were the one who abducted me. So now, the police are here." Despite Howard's taunts, Kirk merely stared down at him as if he were a pathetic person. Slowly, he said, "Those are my men."His words shattered Howard's illusion of hope. Howard's eyes turned wide in disbelief as he stared at Kirk. How could Kirk do something like this just so Caroline would believe in him?"Aren't you … afraid of retri—" Howard coughed up blood. "No," came Kirk's reply. "You'd better think it through. Will you be good so you can go to a better plac

    When she got home, Caroline finally got to sit down and question Kirk about how he had gotten the injury on his face."I got into a fight.""With who?" Caroline asked, concerned.Kirk was smiling as he handed Caroline a glass of water. "Don't worry. It was some colleagues at the company.""Why did they hit you?" Caroline frowned, thinking that Kirk's colleagues were simply out of control."It's because of a project. Besides, we're all hot-blooded young men. It's typical to get into a fight.""But you've never fought before." Caroline was frowning even deeper as she heard more from Kirk."The project hasn't been going well lately, so it's not surprising that tensions are high.""No, that won't do." Caroline found this situation too dangerous. "I think you should hurry up and quit this job. Your job isn't that simple. Before this, you registered your marriage in place of your boss. Now, you got hit for no reason. You have to quit!"This was all too much."Alright." Kirk alway

    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
