"Carol, what's up with you?" Gwen nudged Caroline's arm.Caroline came back to herself in a daze and looked down at Jude in his casket. His eyes were tightly shut, not open, which finally made her realize that she had been mistaken just now."Carol?" Gwen called again softly. "Are you alright? Why does your face look so pale?"Caroline shook her head. Her bad sleep the past couple of nights had probably caused her to see things. "Let's go."The next guest had come forward to place their flower. Caroline nodded and followed Gwen back to their seats.After the flower portion of the ceremony, Thomas came up to say a few words, bidding Jude farewell. Gwen used this opportunity to ask Caroline lowly, "Why can't I see Eddy's second uncle? Isn't he coming?"Looking around, Caroline said, "Mr. Zellen said that he had called to say he would attend.""But why don't I see him?"Those who were attending the funeral today were rich and powerful. Most of them were people Gwen knew. O
After that, Thomas introduced Sean in front of everyone. "This is my uncle's son's …"Someone asked, "Is this Mr. Eddy's second uncle? I didn't expect him to look so young and handsome!""Yeah! He's really handsome, graceful, and elegant. I wonder if he's married yet. ""Oh my God, I can't believe a handsome man like him actually exists!"Their discussions began to spread throughout the room.Caroline glanced at Gwen, who was gritting her teeth, and whispered, "Are you jealous, Gwen?""Jealous? Why the hell would I be jealous?" Gwen spat.Caroline was rendered speechless by her answer.Gwen, who had noticed the change in her attitude, quickly added, "I'm angry because I don't know why he came here instead of Eddy's second uncle.""I'm not sure about that either."At this time, everyone else learned from Eddy that the person before them wasn't the president of SY Group but his good friend."I apologize for the misunderstanding," Sean said with a smile. His gaze naturally swep
However, Asher didn't say anything mean to Caroline. Instead, he was very friendly. "Long time, no see, Caroline. How have you been? I heard you're now Evans Group's CEO. I'm really happy for you."Caroline looked at Gwen hesitantly. Gwen was also surprised by Asher's attitude. However, they didn't let their guard down. After all, Aurora was standing behind Asher, eyeing them warily.Although Gwen had never clashed with Aurora, the actress had a well-known reputation among the upper class. If anyone dared to upset her, she would tear them apart.However, Aurora dropped her arrogant and obnoxious attitude and greeted Caroline with a smile, saying, "Hello, Caroline."Asher glanced back and forth between them. "Do you know each other?"Aurora answered naturally, "Yeah, we had a little misunderstanding before, so we got off the wrong foot."Asher raised an eyebrow and asked, "A misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding?"Caroline and Gwen weren't fools. They could tell that th
"The fact that he's not here right now is exactly why I'm doing this. You have no idea. Kirk stares daggers at me whenever I touch you when he's around. It's terrifying."Caroline laughed at Gwen's words and returned to the topic at hand. "Just now, you said you were jealous. What are you jealous of?"Gwen sat up seriously and said, "I'm jealous that Marietta is your godmother. Goodness, if I were her goddaughter, I would have let the entire world know about it."Caroline chuckled. "There's nothing to be jealous of. It's not like I'm her biological daughter."Gwen couldn't help but feel sad when she heard her words. "Exactly. You're not her real daughter. "Also, didn't Marietta say she had some news about her daughter? She'll probably return to Yudonia after she finds her daughter, right?"When that happened, Caroline would be all alone again. But at least she still had Kirk. The sadness on Gwen's face faded at the thought of this. However, she felt a slight disappointment. "I
The next second, Caroline's car door was opened, and she felt a gust of wind. She raised her heavy head and vaguely saw Layla's unsightly face."Come out here, you bitch!"The sharp voice allowed Caroline to confirm that it belonged to Layla. She felt her scalp being pulled, which made her consciousness slowly return. In pain, she looked up at Layla coldly.Layla's heart stopped when she saw Caroline glare, but she said maliciously, "What are you glaring at? No one usually passes by here, so don't expect anyone to come and save you. "You fucking bitch! How dare you take advantage of Grandpa's death to make Ed marry you? You'd really do anything to join the Morrisons, won't you?"Caroline was forced to raise her head, but the coldness in her eyes didn't disappear. "You're absolutely useless, Layla.""What did you say?" Layla was pissed.Caroline retorted, "Am I wrong? Do you really think I'm the reason you haven't married Eddy yet? "Remember, I'm already married. Since Eddy wo
Sure enough, Asher's words put a smile on Aurora's face. "Still a smooth-talker, aren't you?"Asher teased, "Then, are we now—""Shut it!"Then, the two of them got into the car, bickering. It wasn't until the car was a short distance away that Layla walked out of the woods nearby.It was strange. She had done her investigations before coming here. Very few people crossed this place, and Asher didn't live in this area either. So why had he shown up here all of a sudden?Forget it! Layla didn't want to think about this problem right now. She needed to see Dan and expose the truth that Caroline wasn't an Evans.At the thought of this, Layla hastened her pace. When she got out of the woods, she quickly hailed a cab on the side of the road. After giving the driver the address, she quickly arrived at Dan's villa.As soon as she walked in, she saw Sarah and Dan talking and having some coffee in the living room. She said to them, "I can't take this anymore. You have to announce that
After Caroline got her wounds bandaged, she sat alone on a chair in the hospital. At that moment, she finally understood why Kirk hadn't returned home after his fight. She felt the same way Kirk must have felt back then—she didn't want him to worry.Caroline couldn't help but laugh at the thought. The two of them were really fools. Since they were both the same, they would never be apart, right?Caroline lowered her head, large tears welling up in her eyes. As she wiped them away, she saw her phone light up beside her. She glanced at the phone and saw that Kirk was calling her.She quickly wiped her tears and cleared her throat before answering the phone. When the call connected, she heard Kirk's deep voice from the receiver, and she couldn't control her tears from welling up again."Darling, are you not done with things over there?"Caroline swallowed before answering with a forced smile, "No, I'm already done."Kirk keenly noticed that something was off with Caroline's tone
As Caroline was lost in her thoughts, she vaguely saw a child sitting on a chair, craning her neck to look toward the door. They seemed to be in kindergarten."Are you stupid?" Marietta waved in front of Caroline, her voice bringing her out of her thoughts."Hurry up and eat this." When Marietta saw Caroline move, she felt relieved. She handed the stew she had brought to Caroline. She said, "Eat it while it's still warm. Then, you can stay with me later."Caroline nodded and almost cried again, feeling the maternal love she had never felt in a long time. Truth be told, she was a little envious of Marietta's daughter. She would have definitely received the best care if she had stayed with Marietta.Caroline hoped that Marietta's daughter would return to her side soon.After drinking the stew, Caroline felt a little stronger. Then, Marietta hailed a cab, and the two left the hospital together.When they arrived at Marietta's place, the bed had already been made, so Caroline cou
