Marietta nodded slightly. She and Caroline were about to walk toward the door when they heard a slap on the table."This is good! It's very well-written!"Caroline and Marietta looked back at Rosalind at the same time.Only then did Rosalind notice Marietta. Before Marietta could greet her, she stepped forward and held Marietta's hand. "Marietta! You really gave me a good one this time! Caroline's writing style and mindset are quite similar to your younger self."Marietta smiled brightly at her words. "Right? I told you. She has the same spirit my younger self had."Rosalind and Marietta were both outspoken individuals. "Why do I have the feeling that Caroline seems more like your daughter? I mean, look at her writing style and habits …"Suddenly, everyone became quiet, and Rosalind realized she had said something wrong. However, she and Marietta had been friends for years. With a few laughs, the awkward moment quickly passed. Then, the two of them picked up Caroline's manusc
Aurora's eyes widened. "Go on."After getting encouragement, the agent spoke more confidently. "If the Hacketts publicly announce that they would invest in Collins Group, provided that Layla gets it, the bank would definitely take it into consideration. Then, they would definitely give it to Layla."Aurora frowned. "But why should I help her? We don't have anything to do with each other.""Remember." The agent approached Aurora. "Several companies that belonged to Collins Group are related to the entertainment industry. They managed to expand their reach so much in a short period of time because of SY Group's help, and SY Group belongs to Eddy's second uncle." The agent continued, "If you use SY Group to get connections, you don't have to worry about what happened today. Forget Rosalind; even if the director comes forward, you can ignore their comments."Aurora looked away silently, her eyes slowly lighting up with an idea....After Caroline and Marietta finished their meal,
The last time Caroline had felt this sad was when she had thought that Kirk had another wife. She was sad when she returned home."Darling …" Kirk handed Caroline a large bouquet of roses."Is today a special day?" Caroline was a bit surprised as she took the bouquet and smelled it."Today isn't a special day. I just want to make you happy, darling."When Kirk finished speaking, Caroline was surprised to find a necklace in the bouquet. "Well, this necklace gave me a surprise!""Of course." Kirk kissed Caroline's forehead. "Do you like it?""Of course. I like anything you give me." Caroline hugged Kirk's waist, nuzzling against him. "Did you find out Marietta and I were having our final meal together? Is that why you bought me some flowers and a necklace?"Kirk pinched Caroline's nose. He didn't answer her question. Instead, he picked up the necklace and said, "I'll help you put it on.""Okay." Caroline turned around happily, but a hint of loss appeared in her eyes.Marietta'
"The people I've sent have returned. They said they couldn't find any surveillance footage in the parking lot. "Apparently, the culprit is clever. He removed the surveillance cameras in advance. It's amazing how he could do this undetected. Eddy, do you have a suspect in mind?" Thomas asked, handing over the peeled apples to Eddy.Only then did Eddy return to his senses. A person immediately crossed his mind. However, he still didn't want to believe it was him."No."Thomas stood up and continued his analysis. "Seeing how capable the culprit was, he should be someone prominent. "At the very least, the culprit had to be part of the big four families. Now that the Collins family has fallen, the other suspects are—""Dad," Eddy interrupted Thomas impatiently. "I really don't know anything. Just ask your subordinates to investigate."Seeing this, Thomas looked at Eddy suspiciously. "Eddy—""I'm tired, Dad." Eddy slowly laid down with his back to his father.Thomas frowned. He
Sonia was clearly being humble. At that time, she wasn't just popular—she was famous. Everyone remembered this previously unknown actress.Cheryl thought about this and gradually calmed down. And just like that, this topic was over.Caroline asked, "Have you been filming abroad, Sonia?"Sonia replied, "Yeah, I really want to go home and reunite with you guys soon."Caroline texted, "Haha, are you filming 'Daughter of the Sea'?""Yeah.""Do your best. Once you finish filming, it will be your first step in making your mark overseas."Sonia hadn't expected Caroline to remember her promise. "Caroline, are you really planning to help me become an international star?""Since I've promised you, I won't go back on my word," Caroline said."Besides, after I take over Collins Group, I can take over their subsidiaries in the entertainment industry. When the time comes, it will be even easier to take your career to the international level."Sonia's eyes were slightly red from her encoura
"Yeah. I thought something was off when Marietta told me about it. But since she had just found her daughter, I thought she might have been too excited and remembered the details wrongly. "I remembered this while reading your manuscript the other day, so I asked someone to help me investigate. As it turns out, the Hacketts are now looking for their daughter.""How can this be?" Caroline still thought the situation was ridiculous. It was fine if they couldn't recognize a baby that was a few months old. But how could they not notice that a different person had become their child?Rosalind sighed. "I'm also racking my brain over this. Marietta has just found her daughter. If I tell her about this, she will definitely overthink things."Caroline, can you help her investigate and find out what's going on?""Of course." Caroline had long regarded Marietta's issues as her own."Then, I can rest assured. I can see that you really care about Marietta and aren't hankering after her fame
Although Kirk had a cold expression on his face, he tried to restrain his emotions and look calm when he looked at Michael.At that moment, Sean knew Kirk had listened to his advice so that he wouldn't put Michael under any pressure.Right now, Kirk was acting like he had acted a long time ago. He was calm and wise and wasn't swayed by anything. However, he was also acting differently than a long time ago. In the past, Kirk was more proactive, but now he was more passive. He had suppressed his more aggressive traits for Caroline. Sean sighed. As he was lost in thought, he heard Caroline's painful sobs from the consultation room.Beside him, Kirk also sprung into action. Sean quickly grabbed him. "Kirk, this is the only way. If you don't want to see Caroline suffer, you have to wait outside."Kirk's struggles gradually weakened at his words, and he looked at the consultation room gloomily. In the room, Caroline was frowning in pain. She was muttering unconsciously, seemingly r
Kirk frowned. "Just tell her."Only then did Michael ask, "Ms. Caroline, have you undergone hypnosis before?""No." Caroline remembered that she had never undergone hypnosis.Michael said, "Now, that's strange. Your resistance to the hypnosis suggests that you've been hypnotized before and have lost your memories of it happening. Otherwise, you wouldn't act this way."He paused. "When it comes to hypnosis, if one's psyche gets damaged from their first hypnosis, they'll develop this knee-jerk reaction. "They'll react violently every subsequent time they get hypnotized. Therefore, in your case, you must have been hypnotized before, and your psyche was harmed by it."Caroline frowned and spent a long time recalling things. "But I really don't remember undergoing hypnosis." At the mention of this, she remembered something. "But I don't have any memories of the time before I was around five or six years old.""Did you get hypnotized at that age?" When Michael said this, Caroline
