This time, Kirk's words stunned Eddy to the very core. "We—""There's no 'we' here," Kirk scoffed, his voice harsh. He spoke as if he were a higher being who looked down on the foolishness of mankind. "You reaped what you sowed and made Caroline hate the Morrison family. And now I'm the one who has to bear the consequences of your actions!"Kirk's hands balled into fists, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly in a sneer. "Do you really think you have the right to question my decision about hiding the truth from her?" His dark eyes stared right into Eddy's, making the latter feel as though he were enveloped by darkness. The feeling of dread made him feel suffocated, and he subconsciously trembled at Kirk's gaze. A while later, Kirk said, "I know that I'm at fault here. That's why I'm trying to make amends now.""Uncle Kirk, please divorce Caroline," Eddy pleaded. "Give me a chance, will you?" Shooting up from his seat, Kirk kicked Eddy in the chest. Eddy was caug
Michael had long gotten used to Kirk's behavior. As an expert psychologist, and based on his observations lately, he found that Caroline was the only person who could affect Kirk's mood. After listening to Kirk explain Caroline's condition, Michael pulled out a chair and gestured for him to sit. "I conducted a meeting with several other psychologists after hypnotizing her last time," said Michael. "We agreed that the best solution for her for now is to undergo hypnotherapy.He continued, "If we hypnotize her for the second time, some things may go out of hand. It's because the person who hypnotized her back then employed a rather peculiar method during the process. "That's why she can't remember anything about her past at all. But we don't know the method that they used."Frustrated, Kirk asked, "What do you plan to do?""We have two ways to solve this. The first one is to use electroshock therapy. The strong stimulation can make her forget Mr. Morrison Senior's death," Mich
Quentin broke into a smile and said, "I'll tell you about Yvonne first, then."He continued, "I found out that she had indeed been adopted from an orphanage. "But she was taken away from the orphanage in just a couple of months. It doesn't match up with what you told me about Ms. Weiss' daughter." "Is it possible that she joined the Hacketts only when she turned five or six years old?" Caroline asked, even though she felt that the possibility wasn't that high. "That's possible," Quentin said. "I've looked into it. After she was taken away from the orphanage, the Hacketts' nanny took her to the countryside. "The Hackett couple only visited her occasionally, and she went to live with them when she was around five or six years old."Caroline had never expected her assumption to hit the bull's eye. "But I still think that this all sounds ridiculous. Even if they had seldom met, they shouldn't have mistaken their daughter for another five-year-old." "We're on the same page,"
It wasn't until Caroline felt Kirk's body temperature slowly rising that she raised her head. "What happened to you? Did you just return from Dr. Caldwell's place?"The only thing that could make Kirk react like this was something concerning her.Kirk gently shook his head. "No."Caroline frowned, but she didn't expose his lie. "Have you eaten?""Nope.""Then, let's go out for dinner." Caroline took Kirk's hand. "Kirk, it seems we haven't had a candlelight dinner before."Kirk thought for a moment and nodded. "You're right.""Let's go have some Faromish food. We'll go to the same restaurant where you proposed to me.""You still remember that?""Of course!" At the mention of that incident, Caroline felt quite regretful. "Don't tell me you've forgotten about that.""Of course not. How could I forget?" Kirk caressed Caroline's head lovingly. "Go change your clothes. I'll call the restaurant owner and ask him to reserve a table for us.""All right," Caroline responded befo
"Now, I genuinely want to write this story. Do you understand how I feel?"Caroline became increasingly enthusiastic as she spoke, looking at Krik expectantly.Kirk smiled slightly at her words. "Yeah." Although he didn't know how to write, he could still empathize with her dedication to what she loved.Caroline happily smiled when she saw Kirk nod. She was worried about him being half-hearted about what she loved because it had happened with Eddy countless times.She was delighted that Kirk hadn't reacted like Eddy. He simply looked at her intently with a smile. It made her truly feel respected. "So, you'll support me, right?""Of course." Kirk held Caroline's hand on the table. "But darling, you have to promise me something.""What is it?" Caroline blinked in confusion."You can't hide anything about your treatment from me."Caroline looked at Kirk in confusion. "I-I wouldn't hide anything from you. Don't worry. No matter what kind of treatment I undergo, I'll talk things t
The day of the handover ceremony arrived in the blink of an eye.Caroline had emancipated herself from Sarah and Dan, but she was still a member of the Evans family. They were also her predecessors at Evans Group, the company she currently owned.Although many people in the Evans family knew they had nothing to do with Caroline's acquisition of Collins Group, they still took advantage of the ceremony to make themselves known. If possible, it would be great if they got an official position in the new company.Hence, apart from the reporters, most of the people gathered at the bank entrance early in the morning were members of the Evans family. Furthermore, they were as bold as brass. When they saw the reporters, they started to brag."Caroline is my niece. I told you—only she could bring Evans Group back on its feet. Look, since she became the CEO, not only have monthly sales increased, but more and more people are investing in the company. She's a business genius.""I'm also Car
Caroline was completely different from when she had been working at Thorne Corporation. She was now more calm, elegant, and generous than before. She had the bearing of a queen.The bank's new chairman approached Caroline as soon as he saw her. "Ms. Evans, the venue for the handover ceremony is ready. Please come with us.""All right."Seeing Caroline about to enter the bank, many reporters asked anxiously, "Ms. Evans, can you tell us who is endorsing you?""How did this endorser beat Layla, who had the support of both Morrison Corp and the Hackett family?""Ms. Evans, is there a deal here that we're not aware of?"Caroline remained silent.In the face of the reporters' questioning, the new chairman quickly signaled to the security personnel to block them. Then, he said to the reporters, "Everyone, we understand your desire to get to the bottom of things, so we arranged an interview after the ceremony. Please calm down for now. Let us handle the handover ceremony first."The
After dumping Layla by the side of the road, Dan and Sarah continued their journey to the bank.After deceiving Layla the night before, they had made a plan to stop her from ruining Caroline's handover ceremony. Caroline taking over Collins Group was equivalent to the Evans family returning to its days of glory. Dan and Sarah couldn't let such a joyous occasion be ruined.Moreover, they had to take this chance to repair their relationship with Caroline. They weren't fools. They wouldn't be able to enjoy the fruits of Caroline's labor if they revealed that she wasn't their daughter."Hubby," Sarah said happily. "It won't be long before we can stay in our old villa again, right?"Although the villa Jude had bought for them was large, it still wasn't comparable to their previous villa. Dozens of household staff had been employed at their last villa. But right now, they only had three household staff. Sometimes, Sarah had to cook her own meals."Let's not celebrate too soon." Da
