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. Marietta'

"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

Aurora pitied herself for being unlucky.In the next instance, she smirked as she realized that getting on Yvonne's good side was a lot easier than dealing with Caroline.Back at the villa, Caroline was in bed, about to hit the sack when she turned to Kirk. She asked, "Do you know what I can do to help Mom?" Her heart broke whenever she saw how Marietta forced a smile. Kirk wrapped an arm around Caroline's waist. He thought about the question for some time before shaking his head and telling her, "I have no idea." "Think of one! I'm sure you'll come up with something," said Caroline as she stared at him expectantly.Kirk smiled wryly at her. "You have that much faith in me, huh?" "Naturally." Caroline leaned against his chest. "I have a hunch you'll think of something." "What if I don't?""Then, it's a most complex problem. But I'm sure you'll be the first to think of a way to solve it even if you can't right now." Kirk smiled gently at her. "You flatter me, darling. So,

A few hours later, Caroline was drenched in sweat while lying on top of Kirk. Stubbornly, she asked, "So does this mean that you agree?"Kirk was silent for a second before he nodded. Gleefully, Caroline planted a kiss on his cheek. "Kirk, you're the best."Holding Caroline close, Kirk couldn't help but feel exasperated. It seemed that he had landed himself in some trouble. In a few days, he had to get someone to pretend to be him. He hoped that when Caroline learns of his true identity, she wouldn't remember this little incident.…After Jude's passing, Eddy moved into the Morrison residence. In the residence, Eddy felt as though Jude was still lingering."I'm sorry." Eddy brushed his hands across the surface of the table Jude frequently used. "Grandpa, I'm really useless. I'm not able to fulfill your final wish. But don't worry, I'll make sure Caroline becomes your granddaughter-in-law. That way, your regrets won't last forever."He added, "I'll also investigate Caroline's hu

Eddy's expression shifted upon hearing Layla's request. "What did you say?"He was happy to help Caroline and endorse her. Indeed, Caroline had proved that she was capable of managing. But he had severe doubts about Layla.Eddy recalled the last deal that had resulted in a loss and his eyebrows scrunched up tightly. "NO way! I can agree to anything else, but never this. Do you know how much effort it takes to manage such a big company? Have you already forgotten what happened with the Evanson Corporation?""Eddy." Layla's hands clenched into fists. She would always feel hurt when it came to that matter. "Of course I know. That's why I'll hand the Collins Group over to someone else to manage once I get it."She clarified, "Eddy, I don't want this because of the Collins Group's position among the top four. I want it because I need insurance. Without you, I don't know how I'm supposed to survive."Eddy frowned even harder, but he could not back down on this.If he helped Layla acqui
