"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
"I used to wonder why I had no memories before I was around that age. Eddy told me we had been kidnapped, but I don't remember anything at all. "So, it's very possible that Sarah took me to see a psychiatrist to hypnotize me, making me forget what had happened back then."Caroline continued, "But why would she do that? Was it to make me forget that brutal kidnapping?" But if that were the case, why hadn't Layla and Eddy undergone hypnosis too? Caroline felt her head hurt the more she thought about it.Seeing Caroline in such pain, Kirk hugged her in distress. "Darling, don't think about it. Hypnosis is the most I can allow. I absolutely won't let you undergo the next plan. "If you can't move on from your trauma, I'll take you away from here. Perhaps you'll get better after we go abroad and leave this environment."Caroline pressed her cheek against Kirk's chest. As she listened to his strong heartbeat, her heart ached. She wouldn't get better if they did that. She wouldn't
Eddy's tweet went viral online, and Layla saw many speculations about their relationship. There was no way she would let an opportunity like this go by. She immediately posted a tweet. "Thank you for your wishes, Ed. After I win the rights to Collins Group, I'll definitely do my best to run the business well. I'll make sure to live up to you and everyone's expectations."Her tweet immediately made every single one of her supporters lose their minds."See? I knew that Layla would get Collins Group. Since she has Eddy's unwavering support, no one else but her can win the rights to the company. I really don't understand what people who support Caroline are thinking.""Exactly! It doesn't take a lot of math to realize Caroline can't win this. Caroline doesn't have anything. Her company, Evans Group, had been supported by Morrison Corp. Therefore, Morrison Corp has the power here. Her livelihood is in their hands.""Since Layla has said so, Collins Group has to be hers. Oh, I'm so env
Caroline stretched out her hand and said through her teeth, "Don't… call them …"Cheryl said worriedly, "But Caroline—"Caroline slowly sat up and said weakly, "I'm fine. Go, get me a glass of water."Cheryl stood up uneasily and poured Caroline a glass of warm water. After drinking the water, Caroline finally recovered from her shock slightly.However, Cheryl was still worried about her. "Caroline, I'd better take you to the hospital."Caroline closed her eyes and leaned against her chair. "No, I'm fine. You can't tell anyone what happened here, especially Kirk."Cheryl frowned in distress and sat next to Caroline. "Caroline …""I'm really fine." Caroline opened her eyes and looked at Cheryl.When she had seen the netizens’ accusations, she had remembered the day Jude had died. They were right; Jude had died for her. But she didn't want to fulfill his final wish. She wanted to live her life with the one she loved. She was really selfish."Caroline …" Seeing how absent-minde
