Chapter 674

Author: Shining Riviera
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.

    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

    This was too much of a coincidence. Caroline looked at Cheryl awkwardly.The moment Cheryl saw Jack, she felt the muscles on her face stiffen slightly.Caroline started, "I'm sorry, Chery, I—"Cheryl interrupted, "Caroline, your husband must have asked Jack to pick you up. I told you I would just be a third wheel if I go home with you."Jack had already gotten out of the car. "Hello, Ms. Evans, Cheryl …"Cheryl greeted Jack calmly, "Hello, Jack."Jack's expression became even more unnatural as he said, "I … Mr. Kirk asked me to come and pick Ms. Evans up."Cheryl said with a smile, "See, Caroline? I knew I was right. I won't keep you here any longer. I'll be heading home."Caroline wanted to ask Cheryl to join her, but she was worried that Jack and Cheryl couldn't handle being in the same place.In the end, Jack stopped Cheryl. "Let me take your home as well, Cheryl."Caroline looked at Cheryl. Cheryl obviously hesitated. She stood there without moving, and after a moment,

    Silence filled the air again after Caroline left. "Chery—" Jack started."Stop. You listen to me first." Cheryl straightened her back. "I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you.""You were being kind by introducing me to someone else." She continued, "I'm so sorry." Jack suddenly found himself at a loss for words. The two of them sat quietly in the car after that. Sometime later, Cheryl broke the silence and asked, "What were you going to tell me just now?" Jack was about to say something but thought better of it. He shook his head and told her, "It's nothing. I have nothing to say." The words that were on the tip of his tongue just now disappeared. "Can we still be friends?" Chery asked. Staring into her smiling eyes, Jack found himself sympathizing with her. "Yes, of course.""That's great," Cheryl said. "So, we'll just pretend like nothing happened then?" "Okay …""Well then," said Cheryl, her tone sounding much more cheerful than before. "Let's go

    "Darling," said Kirk as he leaned closer and whispered into her ear as if to seduce her. "I can't live without you. So don't ever leave me, okay?"Caroline was rather speechless. "When have I said that I'm leaving you?" Kirk chuckled at her response. "I know you won't leave me. I just wanted to tell you that I couldn't live without you," he said as he pinched her earlobe. Caroline glanced up at him. "What's wrong?" She wondered why he was speaking as if she was leaving him soon."Nothing." Kirk lowered his head and rested his forehead against hers. "Are you hungry, darling?""No." "Well, I am," he said and proceeded to bite her earlobe playfully. "I'll make you dinner once I've eaten."His words left Caroline speechless once again. At the Hacketts' residence, Marietta couldn't wait any longer. With the help of her assistant, she contacted Aiden Hackett and explained her call. His expression changed immediately when he heard what she said. "Ms. Weiss, you're a globally ren

    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
