"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.

Marietta felt a rush of emotions when she first saw Yvonne, but the feelings vanished rather quickly. She thought it was strange. She had anticipated more excitement when meeting her long-lost daughter. But as Yvonne walked toward her …Instead of sensing a familiar feeling with Yvonne, Marietta was growing increasingly resistant to the idea that she was her daughter.With a hand on her chest, Marietta told herself that she was feeling that way simply because she wasn't completely certain if Yvonne was her daughter yet. "Dad, Mom, why did you call me here?" Yvonne wasn't aware of Marietta. She was focused on reading the label "Laboratory" on the door behind her parents. "Are you feeling sick?" Yvonne asked worriedly."No." Aiden patted her on the shoulder. He explained, "Ms. Weiss here claims that you are her daughter. She wouldn't be convinced otherwise.""We wanted you to take a test." He continued, "Are you okay with this?" Only after hearing his words did Yvonne realize t

It would be impossible otherwise.The thought made Marietta panic. Aiden and his wife were certain that Yvonne was their biological daughter. If they weren't her biological parents, they wouldn't have gone through with the test.Marietta questioned if her search efforts were in vain. Just then, the doctor exited the laboratory, with a grim expression."Sir …" he said."How is it?" Aiden smiled. "Let Ms. Weiss have a look at the results."The doctor wavered.Aiden noticed his hesitance and immediately sensed something amiss. "What's wrong?"Eventually, the doctor told him, "Sir, the results showed that Ms. Hackett isn't related to you by blood."Everyone's expression changed when he finished speaking."N-no way! I'm daddy's daughter!" Yvonne sounded frantic. "There must be something wrong with the report!"Aiden snatched the re

Caroline and Kirk were eating when they heard knocking on the door. She looked at the time and wondered aloud, "Who could be visiting us at this hour?""I'll get the door," said Kirk. He got up and headed toward the door. After peeking through the doorhole, his expression changed."Who is it?" asked Caroline.She had just asked her question when Kirk opened the door to admit a haggard-looking Marietta. Caroline rushed to her and led into the house. "Mom, what happened to you?"Marietta looked lifeless. "It's confirmed that Yvonne is my daughter," she mumbled."Isn't this great news? Why do you look so—" Marietta started mumbling again, leaving Caroline's sentence unfinished. Her voice was low, so Caroline couldn't tell if she was talking to her, or simply mumbling to herself."But she doesn't accept me as her mother," Marietta muttered.Caroline paled at her words and gripped Marietta's hands to comfort her.Kirk headed into the kitchen to pour Marietta a glass of water."Did

Many issues could have been solved if Marietta's biological daughter had been Caroline.Caroline brought a blanket out from the bedroom and draped it over Marietta. She took Kirk's hand and whispered, "Let's turn in." They should let Marietta rest. Upon entering the bedroom, Kirk immediately wrapped an arm around Caroline's waist. Sensing his intention, she quickly pressed her hands against his chest to stop him. "Don't. Mom's still outside," she warned.A smirk played on his lips as he gripped her hands and said, "I wasn't planning on doing anything, though. What were you thinking, darling?" A blush crept up Caroline's cheeks. A moment later, she spoke, "I wonder if Yvonne will accept Marietta as her mother.""Marietta spent half of her life searching for her daughter. Now that she's finally found her daughter, she won't be able to take it if her daughter can't return with her." Kirk tugged at Caroline, urging her to sit on the bed. "Don't worry about it too much.

"Say no more, Layla will definitely win! Eddy will surely help Layla. He even helped her with Evanson Corp. He didn't say a word when she failed to manage it and gained some backlash. Instead, he helped her out of the mess!" "I am aware of this as well. It's precisely why I think Eddy will help her take over the Collins Group." "That's bullshit! That was in the past. Eddy doesn't even want to talk to Layla anymore. Otherwise, she would've been long out of prison." "If you don't have pictures of it, you can't prove it. If Layla reads this, she could sue you for defamation." "Hilarious! Do you think she can view these posts now? If you know nothing about this, just keep your mouth shut. At Jude Morrison's funeral, it was obvious who was supporting who.""Caroline was in charge of all the preparations for his funeral. Isn't the problem clear enough?" "What did I just read? Caroline took it upon herself to make the preparations for the funeral. Wow! Doesn't this mean that the M

While the entire office staff worked with reluctance, Kirk was the exact opposite. Although he seemed to be relaxing at home, his mind was actually on work all of the time. The corner of his lips tilted upward in a smile. It was his life's greatest joy to be able to see Caroline constantly.It was all worth it. Even if it meant he had to go out of his way to pretend that he didn't have a job. He didn't want to lose Caroline again. He "resigned" after he considered cutting ties with the Morrison family. He also wanted to watch out for Caroline. Jude's death had indeed affected her, even though she seemed unfazed. As long as her trauma was left undealt with, she was a ticking bomb that could go off at any moment. Kirk's smile vanished at this thought. The joy in his eyes now replaced by a sheet of coldness.In the study, Marietta had just finished reading the script Caroline had written. Stunned, she looked up at Caroline."Carrie, did you really write this?" asked Marietta.

In the assistant's message, someone claiming to be Yvonne's sister shared that she had an idea to help Yvonne accept her relationship with Marietta. Without giving it a second thought, Marietta immediately called her assistant. "Where is she?""She's at a cafe in Orchid Avenue right now," the assistant answered. "You can directly meet her there." Marietta hung up. She rushed to hail a cab and headed straight for the cafe. It didn't take long for her to reach her destination. It was pretty close to where Marietta was before. She suspected that the woman knew of her whereabouts and deliberately chose this place. As soon as she stepped into the cafe, Marietta saw Aurora sitting at a table. She instantly knew that her suspicions proved to be right."You were the one who messaged my assistant, right?" Marietta took a seat before Aurora, who was wearing a small smile.Aurora spoke respectfully to Marietta. "Yes, Ms. Weiss. I heard about the problem you're facing. It never occurred

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
