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
When Caroline woke up the next day, she saw her wounds had faded, but her scalp was still aching. She stood up and opened the door. Marietta was watching TV in the room. When she heard the noise, she turned her head and said, "You're awake!""Yeah. Thank you so much for yesterday, Mom. You even came to pick me up at such a late time.""Don't say such foolish things." Marietta patted the seat next to her. "Sit down and have breakfast with me.""Okay." Caroline sat down beside Marietta.Marietta looked at Caroline and said with emotion, "It would be great if my daughter was like you." She hadn't slept at all last night. She had kept thinking about what kind of person her daughter was.Although she could more or less confirm that Yvonne was her daughter, she didn't dare look up any information about her. She was afraid of seeing something she didn't like. So she could only rely on that photo to imagine what kind of person she was."Mom, I'm sure she must be like you, a warm-he
Kirk corrected Caroline, "I'm not going to do that. You are."Caroline refused, "I can't." She didn't mean she couldn't do it. She felt like she didn't have the qualifications to do so. Judging from the current situation, the only people in Easton who could buy Collins Group were the other three big families.Evans Group was currently doing well, but she couldn't afford to buy another company. The bank wouldn't be stupid enough to loan millions of dollars to her either."I'm sure you can." Kirk said, "I've already done some homework. You only need to wait until next month to apply for a loan from the bank with the information I prepared for you."Caroline raised an eyebrow. She couldn't believe it. "You've made preparations already?""Yeah." Kirk squeezed Caroline's hand. "Darling, I'm counting on you to support me after you become Collins Group's CEO."Caroline still couldn't believe what was happening. "... You couldn't have asked Eddy's second uncle to endorse you, rig
After showering, Caroline picked up her phone and saw several missed calls. All of them were from Dan. She looked at her phone in suspicion. Dan hadn't contacted her for a long time. The last time he had done so felt like a century ago.The moment Caroline put her phone down, the screen lit up again. Then, her finger slipped, and she pressed the answer button.She was about to hang up when she heard Dan's voice. "Caroline, you truly know how to make a scene. You finally answered the phone after I called you so many times.""I can still change my mind about that. If you don't get to the point, I can hang up the phone any time," Caroline said unkindly.Dan seemed really afraid that Caroline would hang up, so he quickly said, "You need to go to the police station and bail Layla out."They were planning to go all out to buy Collins Group, but they couldn't continue with their plans if Layla got arrested. What Dan hadn't expected was for Caroline to be the one behind her arrest. Th
"Shut up!" Dan interrupted Sarah before she could finish. He knew what she wanted to say. "Can't you just wait a little longer? Once Layla takes over Collins Group, the Evans family will once again be part of the big four families. When the time comes, we no longer have to sing to Caroline's tune."Sarah asked, "What about Layla?""We'll leave her be, but we can't let Eddy know about this. Eddy seems to be treating Layla a lot colder recently. At this point, we shouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble.""What if Eddy no longer wants to marry Layla?"Caroline had participated in Jude's funeral, but Layla hadn't even gotten an invite. Many people were already discussing Eddy and Layla's current relationship after what had happened.Dan explained, "That's exactly why I asked Layla to buy Collins Group. If she can do it, it means Eddy still has feelings for her. If not …"Sarah looked at Dan nervously.Dan's eyes turned cold. He said, "No, we'll start supporting Caroline again. So
