"If preparations are almost complete, why hasn't he made his move yet?""What do you think?"Betty's eyes widened incredulously. "Because of Caroline?""Yeah, Caroline being here alone unsettles him."Betty laughed and said, "Kirk is already married. When is it going to be your turn?"Sean quickly glossed over the subject and hung up when Betty started to urge him to consider marriage. His phone immediately rang again after the call had ended.Sean checked his phone and sighed in relief. It wasn't a follow-up call from Betty, but rather a call from Kirk.He answered the call. "Hey, you must be calling to ask about Caroline. She's doing well now. She went out to seaside with my mom today."Kirk smiled. "Thanks."Sean responded, "No worries. After all, we're best friends. When are you coming back?" "It might take me a couple more days. There's still a bit of unfinished business here." "Oh, I almost forgot. Adrian told me to let you know that he's not giving up on Caroline, e

Adrian was indeed at Yates Manor now.However, his purpose for this visit wasn’t to see the Yates family but for Caroline.So, upon seeing Sean, he straightforwardly asked, "Where’sCaroline?"Sean pointed to the couch, saying, "Just had someone call to ask the same thing. She went to the sea and probably won't be back until this afternoon.""Then I'll wait for her to come back."Adrian sat down on the couch.Sean had someone bring a glass of water for Adrian. "Actually, you could come back later."Adrian smiled. "I'm afraid if I come later, you'll tell me to come back at night."Sean asked, "Do you think I'm lying to you?""I didn't say that." Adrian took a sip of water. "It's just that you’re a good friend of Kirk Morrison. So it’s hard to believe you."Sean wasn't offended. "As you wish. I have other things to attend to. If you don't mind, I’ll leave you to wait here.""Okay."Seeing this, Sean didn't say anything else. He went upstairs to work.By the time he had fini

"Having dinner outside isn’t as good as the food you get at home,"Betty said.Then, she turned to Caroline. "Carrie, how are your cooking skills?""Decent," Caroline modestly replied."Decent is good enough. You should stay and cook a meal for Adrian. Let me taste your cooking as well. Is that okay?"Betty leaned in close to Caroline’s ear and whispered, "Carrie, I'm actually tired of eating the meals prepared by those chefs every day."Since Betty said so, Caroline couldn't refuse her request."Sure. I'll prepare ingredients and make a meal for everyone. But if it doesn't taste good, please go easy on me."Betty laughed. "Who would dare to complain? I'll make them eat the chef's food for a month as punishment, and I won’t even let them change the menu."Everyone laughed.Adrian stayed for dinner before leaving. To express her gratitude, Caroline escorted him to the door."Thank you so much for coming all the way here."Adrian raised his hand to stop her. "Caroline, you've s

Adrian was stronger than Yvonne, so she could only watch helplessly as he walked away and got into his car.The car then roared away from her, not stopping for a moment.She could only stomp her feet as she stared after the car.When the car disappeared completely, Yvonne could only glare resentfully at the mansion in front of her. It was infuriating. How did Caroline manage to get involved with the Yates family? She was way too lucky.Inside the estate, Caroline chatted with Betty for a while before she went upstairs to rest. Before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Sean. Betty noticed this small detail. Once Caroline entered her room, Betty couldn't wait to ask, "Sean, does Carrie have something to say to you?"Sean put down his tablet, puzzled. "I don't know.""Go and ask her. When I was talking to her just now, I noticed she looked at you several times …"Sean stood up, thinking for a moment. "She probably wants to ask about Kirk. I'll go check on her."His gue

If it weren't already late, Sean would have wanted to start right away. "Okay." Caroline chuckled. After bidding each other good night, Sean walked to his room with joy. Downstairs, Betty was also smiling as she watched Sean. After returning to his room, Sean hesitated over whether he should tell Kirk about Adrian coming to see Caroline today. Just then, his phone rang. It was Kirk calling. Looking at the second call from Kirik in a day, Sean smiled. Kirk was too afraid of Caroline being close to other men.He answered the phone and heard silence on the other end. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Kirk, who was barely awake, asked. "Has Carrie returned home?" "She came back quite early. Not only her, but Adrian also ..." Sensing a sudden tension on the other end, Sean's smile deepened. "He also came and brought a gift for Caroline." "What else did he do?" Kirk was angry and wide awake now. "He also mentioned that he'll come tomorrow to eat the meal Caroline will

"Stray cat? When did you start feeding the stray cat?" Betty found it strange.Sean didn't explain much. "Mom, it doesn’t matter. Just prepare five servings."Since Sean had insisted, Betty didn't say anything more. Either way, having an extra serving of food wasn’t a big deal for the Yates family.On the other hand, Caroline was intrigued. "I didn't expect Mr. Yates to be so compassionate."Sean seemed to think of something funny. "Yes, if this stray cat isn't fed well, it might flip over the roof of our house."Caroline exclaimed, "Are there cats that wild?"After nodding in agreement, Sean left.In the afternoon, Caroline started preparing dinner.After confirming with Caroline that she didn't need her help, Betty left the kitchen. Betty saw Sean craning his neck, looking toward the door.She walked behind Sean and imitated him, stretching her neck to look outside. "Sean, what are you looking at?""The wild cat," Sean replied.He had checked with Charles, and Kirk shoul

Betty tried the hard sell them, but she found the atmosphere at the dining table rather odd. "What’s wrong with you guys?""Excuse me for a while." Sean hadn’t forgotten about Kirk, who was outside the door."You don’t have to come and greet me personally." Right at that moment, a husky voice came from the doorway. As if guided by the familiar voice, Caroline looked toward the person eagerly.Adrian did the same. But after he saw the person standing at the doorway, the smug expression on his face disappeared in an instant.Kirk was standing tall and straight at the doorway.However, he was wearing a gray face mask. The mask was exquisitely made, with a lifelike wolf engraved on it. It made him appear like an immortal descended from heaven, looking noble and mysterious.What was even more unbearable for Adrian was that Caroline was already making her way toward Kirk.They were attracted like opposite poles of a magnet.Kirk didn’t even have to show his face, yet he could eas

Betty was a wise person. Hence, she immediately figured out the stray cat Sean had mentioned this morning was actually Kirk. She was ready to watch her son make a fool of himself.Sean wasn’t easy meat, though. He had mastered the art of knowing when to back down. He told Kirk on the spot, "It was all my fault, dude. I'll be sure to ask for forgiveness after dinner."He continued, "C'mon, let's eat first. Look at all the dishes Caroline put in effort to cook. Don’t you want to try them?"Bringing up Caroline had proven to be effective every time.As expected, Kirk walked slowly to the dining table.From the start, he had never bothered to look at Adrian, yet Adrian could say nothing about that.Even though they were rivals, Adrian was nothing like Eddy, who perversely kept mentioning Kirk before Caroline.Adrian would also never persuade Caroline to uncover Kirk's mask, despite knowing it was the latter’s only weakness.Therefore, the dinner ended rather peacefully.After

Soon, Kirk and Caroline met up with Thomas. When he saw the two of them, his eyes turned bloodshot from the rage boiling within him. "You won!" He spat with so much force that it seemed like he had used up all his strength for it. "Things didn't have to come to this," Kirk said calmly as he sat down beside Thomas. Thomas snorted derisively. "Oh really? If you hadn't chosen to marry Caroline at such short notice, do you think Eddy would have died? You two were the cause of the tragedy!" Caroline didn't feel like talking anymore after seeing how foolishly adamant Thomas was. She gave Kirk a look, and he hummed in acknowledgment. When he turned to face Thomas again, his eyes were frosty "I'm here to tell you something," he said.Thomas let out a bark of scornful laughter. "Why? What else do you have to tell me, huh? Are you going to tell me that you have a child now?" "It's not about me and Caroline's child. It's about yours," Kirk stated plainly as he stared at Thomas

"Yes, it's true! Why would I lie to you about something so important?" Betty said. "This is wonderful! Marietta's wish has finally come true." Caroline turned to look at Marietta, who had just stopped by the door. Marietta was so shocked by the results that she was too stunned to speak. All she did was stare at Caroline in silence. Caroline opened her lips to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. She and Marietta stood facing each other, tears streaming down their cheeks. The next second, the two of them rushed toward each other and hugged each other as tightly as they could. The words that were at the tip of their tongues turned into tears at this significant moment. The others felt touched as they witnessed the mother-daughter duo's reunion. After some time, Betty broke the silence. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her 'Mom'!"Caroline had once used that word to address Marietta, but she hadn't known that Marietta was her biological mother back then.

Blushing, Caroline nodded. However, Kirk couldn't lift his head due to his injuries. So, Caroline took the initiative to bend over so that she was closer to him. Their lips touched. Yet before Caroline could get that warm, fuzzy feeling she always had when they kissed, she heard Gwen's voice. "Oh? Did we come at the wrong time?" Gwen grinned.It gave Caroline such a shock that she almost fell to the ground. Cheryl reacted quickly and gave Caroline an arm to hold on to for support. Steadying herself, Caroline stared daggers at Gwen, who giggled and placed the supplements she had brought on a table. Sean and Kirk started discussing what had happened that day, while Caroline led Gwen and Cheryl out of the ward. "Are you two back together?" Gwen asked. There was a sparkle in her eyes, which said enough about how eager she was to gossip. When Caroline nodded, Gwen patted her back gleefully and said, "Great! We all know how much Kirk loves you, even though he kept his ident

As Caroline mentally prepared to face death, there was a sudden, loud commotion. The noise was followed by gusts of wind that were so strong that no one could pry their eyes open to see what was going on. Still, Caroline could make out the silhouette of a helicopter above her. She had no idea what had happened next, though. …When she woke up, she was already lying on a bed in a ward. Beside her were Betty and Marietta, their eyes red and puffy from crying. When they noticed that Caroline was awake, the two of them shot up from their chairs."Carrie? You're finally awake!" Still groggy, Caroline forced herself to hum in response. After getting up, she grabbed Betty's hand and said, "Where's Kirk?" "He's fine," said Betty while wiping the tears off her cheeks. "He's in another ward, but he hasn't woken up yet." "Can I see him?" Caroline asked, tearing up. Betty nodded and asked Sean to push Caroline's wheelchair to the ward next door. Caroline couldn't hold back her

Kirk and Caroline hadn't even caught their breaths yet when they sensed a more intense attack coming their way. It didn't seem like these people were human. They seemed like monsters, bringing destruction wherever they went. Caroline watched the situation outside in concern. "Why hasn't Nightshade come back yet? Did he lie to us?" she asked. Kirk gritted his teeth and replied, "No, he wouldn't. They're all people from the dark web, and they're all honorable. Since he promised to bring the top two assassins, he'll definitely come back."As he spoke, he pushed her into a car. "But before that, you have to leave first," he insisted.Caroline noticed that his words were only directed at her. She grabbed his hand tightly. "What do you mean by that?"What did he mean she had to leave first?He replied, "Finn has sent over all his trump cards. If you don't leave, I have no doubt that he'll come here too. So, you need to leave now!" Caroline grabbed his hand. "We haven't gone to Ci

When she saw his reaction, Caroline couldn't help but smile. "What I mean is, let's head to City Hall to re-register our marriage certificate. The information we used to register our marriage before was all fake. "Can we update it with the real information now?"Kirk brightened up. "No problem."She looked at him and smiled again. However, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "Oh, I forgot about Thomas. Do you think he'll send someone to ambush us when we go to City Hall?"Kirk fell silent. He didn't want to change the plans, but he still said, "Then, let's wait for Nightshade to find the assassins—"Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out from downstairs. His face dropped, and he rushed to the window, where he saw two groups of people engaged in a gunfight. One of the groups was Thomas' men."What's going on?" Caroline asked as she got up from bed."Thomas must have found out that Nightshade left, so he took the chance to ambush us."Kirk led her to a

"If you make up with Kirk, I'll help you find them both."Caroline and Kirk were stunned to hear Nightshade's condition. Kirk had never expected Nightshade to say such a thing. Caroline was also in disbelief. She felt somewhat reluctant to agree to it."You don't agree?" Nightshade asked when Caroline remained silent. "Alright then, if you disagree, I won't look for them. Besides, Thomas is already planning to go all out against you. "When the time comes, I can escape. But what about you two?"Caroline looked at Kirk. "Thomas plans to go all out against us? You're not lying to me?"Kirk met her eyes and gulped. "No."She pondered for a moment, then looked at Nightshade again. "Do you really have a way to help us find the two assassins?""Of course.""Okay." Caroline lowered her head. "As long as you can help us find those two assassins, I'll agree to your condition."On the other side of the room, Betty and Marietta exclaimed excitedly when they heard her words. "Carrie, do

When Betty noticed how confused everyone looked, she said, "Oh, dear. Did you all forget?"Back then, when Marietta did the DNA test with that girl from the Hackett family—no, the fake Ms. Hackett—Caroline was the one who went to the restaurant with her."She continued, "Didn't we look through the footage from that day? Then, we called in the people who were at the restaurant that day to do another DNA test."Although they had unfortunately been unable to find Marietta's daughter, Betty still considered it a great effort. "We had thought that we had tested everyone. But there was someone who we didn't test!" Betty's eyes lit up as she looked at Caroline. Marietta immediately understood what she meant. She looked at Caroline with excitement, but she didn't dare to get her hopes up. "Caroline…"Caroline also looked at Marietta excitedly. "I… Aunt Mary… this… Is it possible?"Betty replied, "Why wouldn't it be possible? We tested so many people back then, and you were the only

Sarah was about to tell Caroline, but Dan stopped her."Don't tell her. Let her live in pain without ever knowing who her real parents are. Besides, do you really think she will get us the best lawyer?"Caroline wasn't upset that they hadn't taken the bait. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face. "You still have some sanity left."Upon realizing her trick, Sarah shouted angrily, "You liar!"However, she was taken away before she could shout more. Caroline watched as Sarah and Dan disappeared in the police cars. The feigned strength on her face finally disappeared. She might never find her parents in this life. But she didn't regret it. She tilted her head and glanced at Kirk, Cheryl, and Jack beside her. She had no regrets anymore.Even though she couldn't get her parents back, she was content that she had so many friends."Let's head back." Caroline's voice was weary. She needed a good rest, but there was still a tough battle waiting for her. The news about Caroline n
