Chapter 668

Author: Shining Riviera
"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

    "What's going on, Mom?" Caroline asked, amused. "I won't know whether to refuse or not if you don't tell me anything."When Marietta heard her words, she laughed and wasn't as nervous as before. "So here's the thing: my private detective can basically confirm that my daughter is Yvonne."I'm not sure what's going on these past few days, but she has been staying home." She continued, "So, the private detective can't get her DNA for a DNA test. I'm getting anxious from waiting, so I want to ask if you have any way of getting to her.""Yvonne?" Caroline thought that her name sounded familiar. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered. Yvonne was the girl who was engaged to Adrian."Oh, so she's your daughter!" Caroline said in surprise.Marietta asked, "Do you know her?""You can say that. We simply have a mutual friend." Caroline asked, "Are you going to use her hair or saliva for a DNA test?""Yeah, that's right! But since she's staying put at home, the private d

    Yvonne didn't need Caroline's opinion either and continued venting her repressed frustrations. "I like him. I really do. I've been secretly in love with him since we were kids. Although everyone said he was an illegitimate child and wouldn't be useful to the family, I couldn't stop myself from falling in love with him."Yvonne continued, "When he agreed to be set up with me, I thought he liked me too. But it turns out he already likes someone else."Caroline remained silent until Yvonne was done ranting. Then, she said, "You should get a good night's sleep. Perhaps then you won't feel so awful when you wake up the next day.""Really?" Yvonne murmured.Caroline kept the call on until she heard the sound of snoring. After that, she ended the call."Why did your call take so long?" Kirk had gone to work upstairs so as not to disturb Caroline. But he hadn't expected more than an hour to pass by before Caroline hung up the phone."She just had a breakup, so she needed to vent her fe

    In the Hackett family's home, Yvonne saw Asher and Aurora bickering in the living room when she went downstairs. Then, Asher and Aurora broke apart and looked in Yvonne's direction.When they saw Yvonne up and about, Asher stood up and said, "Yvonne, you're finally out. Do you want to eat anything? I'll take you out for a meal."Yvonne refused, saying, "It's fine. I'm hanging out with someone."She didn't even look at Aurora at all. The rumors were true. She was at odds with Aurora. Her reasons for her enmity were simple. Aurora used to like Adrian just like her, but then, for some reason, she had started to mingle with her brother instead.Aurora kept saying that she loved Asher, but she simply loved his wealth. Otherwise, she wouldn't still have Adrian's college graduation photo in her pocket."Who are you having lunch with?" Asher asked with concern.Aurora asked with feigned concern, "Yvonne, do you want your brother to give you a ride?""No." Yvonne grimaced at her words.

    The saleswoman was very happy to hear Aurora's words. "Okay, Ms. Jenner. Please wait a moment."With that said, the saleswoman took out several types of ties and placed them in front of Aurora. "Here you go, Ms. Jenner. Go ahead and pick whatever you like, and I'll wrap them up for you."Aurora ignored the saleswoman and asked Caroline, "Do you see anything you like, Caroline?"The saleswoman then turned her attention to Caroline. She inwardly mumbled, "Who is this?" She thought Caroline's name sounded familiar, but after looking at her face, she couldn't remember which family she was from.Caroline was confused. What the hell were those two doing?"Um …" Caroline said hesitantly, "I appreciate your kindness, but I'd rather buy this gift myself.""No!" Yvonne and Aurora said in unison, "Caroline, you must choose someone to pay for you."Caroline held her head. This was her first time seeing people fighting to pay for her expenses. Perhaps this was also the saleswoman's first t

    Now that they had reached this point, Caroline didn't want to entangle herself with Aurora any longer. "I'm not going to find out why you're trying to befriend me. But as for whether we can be friends, I'm going to give you my answer—not a chance in hell!"Aurora's expression darkened at her words. "Do you know what you're saying? Many people want to be my friends, but they never get the chance.""That's their problem, but I really don't want to be friends with you," Caroline said. Then, she told Yvonne, who was enjoying the show, "Let's go."Yvonne proudly held Caroline's arm, turning back to look at Aurora with a smug grin. She felt so happy. Meanwhile, Aurora was already so angry that her expression was dark.After leaving the mall, Yvonne said eagerly, "Good job for saying that, Caroline! Aurora is just one of those people who think the world revolves around them!"Caroline simply smiled at her words. She wasn't interested in their grudge. She said, "I already booked a tab

    Adrian was reluctant to end the call, but he said, "All right. I'll hang up for now." Caroline hummed in assent before walking to the private room. After entering the private room, she put her phone on the table as the screen went off. However, the eagle-eyed Yvonne caught sight of the name on the phone. Adrian Sorkin. She remembered her first blind date with Adrian, and her gaze became a little cold. "Do you and Adrian still keep in touch?"Caroline nodded. "Yeah, we do. But we don't do it much.""Does he usually contact you first, or do you contact him first?"Caroline put down her spoon and said, "Well, I never kept track of that. What's wrong? Why are you bringing this up?"Yvonne smiled. "Oh, it's nothing."She had realized that she was the one who always took the initiative to contact Adrian, but Adrian had never done so for her. In the past, she had thought Adrian didn't like reaching out to people. But now, it seemed that he simply didn't like her. "Adrian seems

    After waiting for more than a decade, Marietta had finally heard the news she wanted to hear most. She froze on the spot, unable to speak. After a long while, she turned around and said to Caroline in disbelief, "Carrie, I'm not dreaming, am I? I really found my daughter, right?""Mom, this is really happening." Caroline said happily, "You found your daughter!""I …" Marietta burst into tears and hugged Caroline. "Thank you so much, Carrie! If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have been able to confirm it so soon."Caroline patted Marietta on the shoulder. She waited until Marietta had calmed down before saying, "What are you going to do next, Mom? Are you going to tell her the truth?"Marietta hesitated. "Carrie, have you known Yvonne for long? What kind of person do you think she is? Will she accept the truth if I go to the Hacketts' home and tell her right now?"Marietta had asked so many questions in succession that Caroline didn't know how to answer them. "Mom, you shoul

    Kirk also sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"Caroline quickly hugged him, his warmth raising her body temperature. However, she still couldn't stop her arms from trembling.Kirk reached out and softly rubbed Caroline's arms. Then, the tremors in her body slowly faded away."Did you have a nightmare?" Kirk hugged Caroline tightly, distress filling his gaze.Caroline shook her head. She didn't dare tell Kirk what nightmare she'd had. If he learned about it, he would definitely be worried."Darling." Kirk slowly let go of Caroline. He looked into her eyes and asked again, "Are you sure it's not a nightmare?""No," Caroline denied. "It's probably just a bit of hysteria. I'm fine. You should go back to sleep."Kirk looked at her silently for a moment before patting her head. "Okay, you too."However, Caroline didn't fall asleep after lying down on the bed. Whenever she closed her eyes, she could see Jude in front of the bed, looking at her.Kirk didn't sleep tonight, either. However

    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
