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
The female reporter found Caroline's question strange, but she still replied, "Yes, I did.""Since you did, you should know that one person can only ask one question. But right now, you just asked me three questions in a row. "I'm really sorry, but I can only answer one of your questions. Which one do you want me to answer?"The reporter hesitated for a moment and chose the first question. "Who's the person who endorsed you?""Are you sure you want to ask that?""Yeah."Caroline tightened her grip on the corner of the table. "My sponsor is Mr. Kirk Morrison, SY Group's president."That created an uproar among the audience. Sarah's and Dan's eyes widened in disbelief. Kirk's name sounded familiar to them, as if they had heard it somewhere."That explains why the bank chose Caroline. Her sponsor was SY Group's president.""How capable is Caroline? She actually convinced SY Group's president to endorse her.""Yeah, have you noticed something? The elders of the Morrison family
As soon as Caroline gave her statement, everyone naturally gave her a puzzled look. She explained, "If my husband hadn't acted as our go-between, SY Group's president wouldn't have endorsed me. "Besides, I'm extremely self-aware. Right now, I simply cannot manage such a large company well. But my husband gave me the confidence.""Is it because he thinks you can manage Collins Group?""No." Caroline looked at the woman and smiled lightly. "It's because he can help me manage Collins Group."Everyone in the audience gasped, thinking that Caroline was crazy.Caroline had been married for such a long time, but no one knew who her husband was. They only knew that her husband was very poor and was a white-collar worker. But now, Caroline was saying that she wanted her husband to manage Collins Group. That was ridiculous.Although Collins Group suffered heavy losses some time ago, all its assets were still part of the big four families' properties.If Caroline relied on Collins G
