After breakfast, Caroline received a text from Gwen. "Carol! Did you really announce your marriage at Mr. Morrison Senior's birthday banquet?"

Caroline replied with a "Yes." The second she sent it, Gwen called.

On the phone, Gwen sounded excited. "Oh my God! Carol, you're so brave. Was Mr. Morrison Senior mad? Are you okay?"

"No, he only said he wanted to meet my husband." Caroline's face turned pink when she mentioned Kirk.

Gwen let out a breath. "I was so scared! I thought Mr. Morrison Senior would throw a tantrum. But this is good. You've finally escaped that scumbag, Eddy!"

Gwen had barely finished saying that when Eddy's angry voice came from outside. "Caroline, get out here!"

Caroline was stunned.

Gwen heard Eddy's shout too. Nervous, she asked, "Carol, what's going on?"

"It's nothing," Caroline reassured. "I'll call you back in a bit."

After saying that, she quickly hung up.

Just as she put down her phone, she saw the bedraggled Sarah and Dan. Caroline frowned. She lo

    "Caroline, you better call him over quick! Once he apologizes, this issue will be settled," Eddy said."He didn't do anything wrong. Why should I call him here?""So you're determined to shelter him?" Eddy suddenly approached. His gaze was fixed on Caroline.Caroline met his gaze and said with open confidence, "Yes!"Eddy's eyes narrowed, and he took a step back. He scoffed. "Osbury is my turf. I can dig him out as long as he's still in this city. Things might not be so simple anymore at that point!"After saying that, Eddy turned and left.When Sarah and Dan saw this, they quickly followed Eddy out of the room.Once they were far away, Caroline quickly grabbed her phone and called Kirk.At the moment, Kirk was in a dim private room. His tie was loose around his neck, and the scent of alcohol stuck to him. Though he was in a debauched state, he was still regal.There were women around him who were eyeing him like meat. Yet when they tried to come over with some drinks, his sha

    Five minutes later, Sean saw Kirk return. Kirk was visibly in a much better mood. Even so, he still coldly dismissed those ignorant women when they tried to approach him.Sean leisurely approached Kirk. He was about to tease him, but he stopped when he saw Kirk's glare. Instead, he shrugged and said, "Do you still want me to help find a donor for Layla like you'd asked me to?"Caroline's tearful expression crossed Kirk's mind, and he frowned in disgust. "No.""That's great. I looked through her reports and found a lot of problems." Sean took a sip of his wine. He continued, "I was going to talk to you about it. But since I don't need to look for a donor, I no longer have to worry about it."Kirk gave an absent-minded hum, ignoring what his friend said.…In the hospital, Eddy found the doctor who'd treated Caroline. When he asked about Caroline, the doctor remembered her. "Of course, I remember her, Mr. Eddy."Eddy's eyes lit up. "Do you still remember what the man with her lo

    "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you," Caroline apologized. She nervously sat Kirk down on the couch and turned the lights on. Her heart ached when she saw his injury, and she hurriedly looked for the first aid kit.Kirk wanted to tell her that she didn't have to worry about a minor injury. Before he could get the words out, he caught sight of a bra in the suitcase out of the corner of his eye, and his mind went blank. He'd asked someone to pick up some clothes and bring them to Caroline. He hadn't seen them, not even once.Kirk frowned. His desire for Caroline was burning like lava. At this moment, Caroline found the first aid kit and sat beside him. Her sweet scent filled Kirk's nostrils, stimulating his senses.Caroline didn't notice it at all. She took a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to dab the wound on Kirk's forehead. "This will hurt a little, so you must bear it." She cleaned his wound with gentle and delicate movements.Kirk swallowed with difficulty. His eyes couldn't

    "I asked him about it, but he still hasn't agreed," Caroline explained.Gwen asked, "Is he afraid Mr. Morrison Senior will notice something?""What is he supposed to notice?" Caroline asked. She thought that Gwen was overthinking things. She said, "Even if he's the son of a wealthy family, the Evans family would have noticed."Gwen stroked her chin. "You have a point. At any rate, Mr. Morrison Senior wants to see him, so you should take Kirk to see him. Let that old man observe him for a bit.""Forget it…" Caroline lowered her head. "Eddy is looking everywhere for Kirk right now. Taking Kirk to see Mr. Morrison Senior is just asking for trouble.""That's a simple problem. Since Mr. Morrison Senior likes you so much, just tell him not to tell Eddy about your visit. Besides …" Gwen pushed, "Don't you want to get that old man's approval?"Gwen knew Caroline well. She managed to convince her best friend with just a few words. Seeing that Caroline was silent, Gwen dragged her out of t

    The sounds of laughter stopped abruptly. Everyone turned around and saw Jude walking in, surrounded by bodyguards. The sight dumbfounded them."Mr. Morrison Senior, what are you doing here?" Brie asked, hurriedly walking up to help the old man.Jude didn't even look at Brie. Instead, he approached Caroline anxiously, asking, "Carrie, I heard you sprained your ankle and were hospitalized. This is such an important matter. Why didn't you tell me?"His concern moved Caroline. She reassured him, "I'm fine, Grandpa. I'll be discharged soon."Jude looked down at Caroline's ankle, worried. "Are you sure you're okay?""I'm sure!" Caroline briefly walked around. "Actually, I didn't need to be hospitalized at all, but my husband was too worried about me …" she explained, blushing.When Jude saw this, he laughed and said, "So, that's how it is. You really scared me, Carrie." Then, he turned around and looked at Brie, asking, "What are you people making a fuss about? I could hear all of yo

    While waiting for the elevator, Caroline couldn't help asking, "Is Eddy's second uncle really married?"Jude nodded. "That's right. Now, it seems that his decision for a fast marriage is the right one.""A fast marriage? Eddy's second uncle had one of those as well?" Caroline thought."By the way, did your husband agree to meet me?" Jude asked.The topic shifted to Kirk, pulling Caroline from her thoughts. She nodded before she could think about it."If that's the case, let's book a table at Starlust Hotel.""Let me arrange a meeting place instead, Grandpa. Eddy has been looking for him everywhere, so can you please not tell him about our meeting?""Huh?" Jude raised an eyebrow. He asked, "Why is Eddy looking for him?"Caroline frowned. "I—I don't know. Just promise me, Grandpa."Jude smiled merrily. "Okay, okay. I won't tell him. But Carrie, even if you don't go back to what you walked out on, sometimes the things you've walked out on may be the best things you've had."Caro

    When Kirk arrived at the Morrison Manor, Eddy had just finished talking with Jude and came out of the study. He greeted Kirk, evidently not in a good mood. "Hello, Uncle Kirk."Kirk nodded slightly. He asked, "What did your grandpa talk to you about?"Eddy said unhappily, "He asked me to stop looking for Caroline's husband."Kirk raised an eyebrow, but then he heard Eddy say, "This will affect my pursuit of Caroline."Kirk remained silent."Mr. Kirk." Simon stepped forward. "Mr. Morrison Senior is waiting for you inside." Kirk gave a light hum in acknowledgment, devoid of any emotion. After entering the study, he greeted Jude, who was sitting on the armchair. "Uncle Jude."Jude smiled and said, "You're here. Come and have a seat."Kirk sat across from Jude calmly."I'm going to see Caroline's husband the day after tomorrow." Jude stood up with the support of his walking cane. "Have you gotten any news about him?"Kirk shook his head."Even you can't find out anything about

    Simon immediately asked the hotel to bring a coffee brewing kit and mugs. Caroline took the opportunity to text Kirk. "My Grandpa is here. How long do you need to get here?"Kirk didn't reply.The staff had brought the tools, so Caroline had no choice but to concentrate on brewing coffee for Jude. Skill and knowledge were required to make coffee. She couldn't be careless.The staff brought them Robusta Coffee beans. Caroline ground the coffee beans with the grinder and boiled some water. Then, she poured the ground coffee beans into a filter. Finally, she slowly poured the hot water through the filter into a mug, filling the room with the fragrant scent of coffee. A cup of dark coffee was ready, emitting an aromatic, smoky scent."Here you go, Grandpa."Jude picked up the coffee. He took a sip and smiled with satisfaction. "Your coffee is as delicious as always, Carrie."Caroline said modestly, "I'm sure you're just being nice, Grandpa."Jude waved his hand. "I'm not. I know y

    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
