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
"Bring Ms. Evans out."Upon seeing this text message, the new chairman wiped the sweat from his forehead. He approached Caroline and said, "Let's get out of here for now, Ms. Evans."Caroline glanced at Layla, who was still fighting in the audience. After some thought, she nodded. And so, they left the venue through the back door.Jack was already waiting there in his car. The chairman opened the door for Caroline. "Ms. Evans, here's my business card. Feel free to call me if you need anything."Caroline had no intention of dealing with the chairman. She simply nodded half-heartedly in response, took the business card, and got in the car.As the new chairman watched the departed car, he took his phone out again. That text message was still there. He looked at the phone number, lost in thought. Could this number belong to SY Group's president?Caroline had managed to win the rights to Collins Group because her backer was SY Group's president. After thinking about it, the new chai
Faced with Caroline's powerful presence, Michael unknowingly revealed the three methods of treatment to her. After he was done speaking, he looked at her nervously.Caroline remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she asked, "D-Did Kirk tell you which method to go for?""Your husband … didn't say anything. He only said that he would think about it."Caroline said, "Tell me about those three methods again."Her words puzzled Michael, but he still explained, "The first way is to keep doing hypnosis, but you may forget everything. The second way is shock therapy. It can make you forget about Mr. Morrison Senior's death, but it's the most painful of the three methods. The third method is—""For me to move on from my trauma alone." Caroline finished Michael's sentence for him.Michael nodded. "That's right."Caroline became silent once again. After a long while, she looked up at Michael again. "I'll do the second method, shock therapy."Michael was stunned.
In this life, Caroline just wanted to live happily with Kirk. She pulled away from her thoughts. "Today is a big day. I would like to invite you, Cheryl, Gwen, and the others to celebrate. Is that okay?"Jack replied, "I'm all right with that. For Cheryl—""I'll ask her right away." Caroline picked up her phone and sent a message in the group chat. She asked Gwen to inform Sean about it as well.Gwen replied, "Okay."Caroline asked Cheryl, "Mr. Jack is coming too. Will you be there?"Cheryl quickly replied, "Of course, this is a joyous occasion. Why wouldn't I be there?"After that, Cheryl sent Caroline a private message. "Caroline, Jack and I are simply close, like brother and sister. So you don't have to worry about us."Caroline replied with an "Okay."Sonia also joined the conversation. "I really envy you guys. I want to go home and celebrate with you guys.""There's no need to worry. Your moment will be here soon," Gwen quipped. "Carol is now the boss of a large com
"Carol, what the hell are you saying?" Gwen went ballistic in the group chat.Sonia and Cheryl also texted their queries about this revelation.Hence, Caroline recounted what Layla had said at the handover ceremony that day.Gwen remarked, "Somehow, I find it hard to believe what Layla says."Cheryl and Sonia also believed it was ridiculous.However, Caroline had a different opinion than Gwen. "Gwen, do you remember what I told you? "I have no memories of the time before I was around five or six years old. I always thought it was because I was too young. "But when I underwent hypnosis with Dr. Caldwell, he told me I might have shut away my memories before. "So it's very possible that I'm really not an Evans."Gwen said, "But isn't that ridiculous? According to you, you have no memories of anything before you were five or six years old."So you must have been taken into the Evans family at that age. If that's the case, there's no way the other Evans family members wouldn'
Caroline was looking at the menu when she heard the two of them whispering. She asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"Sean immediately put on a smile. "Oh, nothing.""How mysterious," Gwen said disdainfully, holding Caroline's arm. "Just ignore them, Carol. Let's order our food.""Okay." Caroline, Gwen, and Cheryl ordered the food while Kirk and the other two men sat aside and watched them silently. There was a slight smile on their faces, but different emotions were hidden underneath each one.After dinner, Gwen and Sean went home together. Cheryl didn't want to be a third wheel, so she had no choice but to ride Caroline's car. Jack, who was driving, gestured to the passenger seat. "Sit here, Cheryl."Cheryl glanced at Caroline and Kirk, who were holding hands, and wisely decided to sit in the passenger seat.When Caroline saw this, she couldn't hold back her smile. They said it was no big deal and that they were like siblings. But in fact, it was a big deal
