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
"Mr. Kirk, in your wife's situation, letting her process her trauma on her own is the best option at the moment. She may suffer even more pain if you insist on using drugs or other treatment."Hearing this, Sean patted Kirk on the shoulder. "Kirk, we know you want Caroline to get over her trauma from Mr. Morrison Senior's death. "But Michael is the best psychiatrist around, and he's the best at handling PTSD cases. "It's best for Caroline to recover from this naturally. Without using drugs, she won't suffer physically along with her emotional pain."He paused, then continued, "Kirk, I know you don't want to see her suffer, but only she can overcome this obstacle. "Even if she undergoes therapy or uses medication, you'll still have to see her suffer. And she'll suffer even more than now."Kirk raised his fist and banged it on the table. The table shook so much that the glass of water overflowed from the force.Michael was so frightened that he couldn't say anything and looked
Caroline frowned at Eddy's words. He was insane. The fact that Layla was his savior didn't have anything to do with whether she remembered the past. "So is that why you'll indulge her unconditionally, even if she almost killed me? You did that just because she had saved you once?"Eddy looked at Caroline questioningly. "Do you really not remember what happened when we were children?"Caroline asked, "What?""I'm talking about the time when we were kidnapped." Then, Eddy recounted precisely what had happened more than a decade ago. After speaking, he looked at Caroline expectantly, hoping to see some changes in her expression. However, his expectations were dashed.Caroline shook her head. "I have zero recollection of that incident.""You must have shut those memories away. Grandpa said that you went abroad after that incident." Several vague fragments of her memories crossed Caroline's mind. She tried to focus on them, but she couldn't recall anything. "But I remember le
Caroline couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Eddy's unflinching expression."Eddy, are you trying to figure out my intentions about Collins Group?" Caroline asked. There was no need for Eddy to beat around the bush about this. They weren't talking about business secrets. She sat up and said, "I do have some thoughts about buying it."Joy appeared on Eddy's face at her words. "Then, you must need someone to endorse you, right?" He wanted to say that he could help her. However, he ended up changing his words.Caroline looked at Eddy strangely. "Of course. If I want to buy Collins Group, I'll definitely need funds from the bank. Hang on. What on earth are you trying to say?"Eddy stammered, "I-I just wanted to remind you. Since you already know what to do, I have nothing else to say."Caroline didn't say anything in response.After Eddy left, Caroline began to deal with some trivial matters in the company. As for the issue of buying out the Collins Group, she coul
