While Gwen was lost in thought, the woman had already approached Sean. "When did you come back, Sean? Why didn't you tell me something so important? Do you even see me as a friend?" She raised her fist and hit Sean's body as she said that.At first glance, Gwen could tell that they were close. She clenched her fists. "Since you've bumped into an old friend, I'll go upstairs," she said, wanting to leave immediately.As if she had just noticed Gwen, the woman asked in surprise, "Who's this?"Sean grabbed Gwen and said, "This is my girlfriend."Gwen's eyes widened slightly at his answer.That woman looked at Gwen in disbelief. After a moment, she recovered from her shock and said gracefully, "So, she's your girlfriend. Forgive me. Hey, I remember the person I saw in the hospital didn't look like this."She asked, "Are you wearing makeup? I heard that the makeup in Easton is great. It can change someone's appearance completely. No wonder I couldn't recognize you."Gwen's expressio
Gwen was stunned. "A-Are you serious?"Sean's expression didn't change. "Of course, it doesn't matter if I can't find them. I can get the surveillance tapes for the times I've met Katie.""Are you insane?" Gwen stood upright and leaned close to Sean. "Why are you doing something so meaningless and unrewarding?""Why would it be unrewarding?" Sean smiled gently. "As long as you believe me, it'll be a rewardable task. You're my biggest driving force in doing this."Gwen met Sean's gaze and opened her mouth to speak. "Sean, I know what you're doing, but it's no use. In fact, I've thought about moving forward. But every time I moved forward, I would think of the times my mother and I caught my father having affairs."She had vivid memories of those events. The mistress screaming from being beaten, her father panicking, and the passersby pointing at them …Those memories had been engraved in her body and soul. She would never forget about it."Gwen." Sean looked at her calmly.
Sure enough, Caroline was moved. She picked up the tickets and carefully looked them over."You have to attend it. My mother will definitely be thrilled to see you there." When Yvonne saw Caroline easing off, she knew she had achieved her goal. She couldn't help but smirk.Caroline held the tickets and asked, "How much are these tickets?""You don't need to pay. Since it's my mom's lecture, it's my treat."Yvonne stood up. "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave." After saying that, she left.As Caroline watched her leave, she looked down at the tickets in her hand. For some reason, she had a strong urge to attend this lecture."Are those tickets to Marietta's lecture?" Betty's voice rang out from behind her.Caroline nodded."Do you want to go?" Betty asked with a smile.Caroline nodded, then shook her head.Betty knew that Caroline was hesitant because of what had happened last time. "If you want to listen to the lecture, I can ask the organizer to contact the live broa
After saying that, Betty asked the household staff to take all her meals upstairs, leaving the first floor to Caroline and Kirk.This wasn't the first time Betty had done this. Even a fool could tell she was deliberately creating opportunities for Caroline and Kirk to be alone.Caroline didn't know what to feel. She really didn't want to be alone with him.Before this, she had inexplicably wanted to get close to him. But after she had discovered that he had a lover, she wanted to keep her distance from him. Although he repeatedly said that she wasn't a substitute for his lover, she didn't want to get close to him anymore. She was afraid that she would fall into temptation and do something irrational."What's on your mind?" Kirk put a piece of fish on Caroline's plate.Caroline looked down. This was a fish she liked, but there were too many bones. So she usually had no choice but to give up. Had Mr. Y done this because he knew she liked this fish?If he knew about that …Caroli
"Well, I didn't think about this carefully back then. I forgot how close Kirk and the madam are. Even the slightest actions will stir up her memories. It seems that …" Micahel looked at Kirk sadly. "I'm afraid it's not a good idea to keep staying by your wife's side."Kirk's actions might inadvertently stir up Caroline's memories and aggravate her condition.When Betty heard that, she looked at Kirk sadly. He had finally gotten the chance to spend time with Caroline. It had barely been two days since that happened, but they had to go back to how things had been before. They might as well not give him any hope.Micahel looked at Kirk helplessly. They had been too optimistic to think that Caroline would be able to adjust herself to Kirk's presence, just like what happened with Marietta.However, considering the current situation, Kirk was too special in Caroline's heart. That meant that Kirk's and Marietta's cases couldn't be lumped together. There was no telling when Kirk would
"I think you're feeling lost because you can't find anything to do. Marietta's lecture is in two days, right? If you like it, you can also start writing like her," Betty suggested.According to Kirk, Caroline had started writing after she had met Marietta before. Maybe she wouldn't be in this much pain if she had a hobby."You want me to write?" Caroline was uncertain. "But I don't remember engaging in something like this before.""That's all right. You just need to have the courage to try," Betty encouraged.Caroline nodded slowly. "All right. I'll give it a try."When Betty saw Caroline calm down, she sighed in relief.…Meanwhile, Yvonne called Avery. She vowed, "Don't worry. Caroline will definitely attend my mother's lecture.""Are you sure?" Avery stroked the leaves on the window. "Hiring my sharpshooter is going to be expensive.""Don't worry. I heard from my mother that Caroline had always wanted to write. This lecture is just the thing she needs. She'll definitely
"What the hell is going on?" Yvonne said a little frantically, "Tell me everything you know!"Hearing Yvonne's tone, Aurora knew the former had understood what had happened. She turned around and sat on the couch. "The whole thing is simple. Mrs. Reyes lost the real Yvonne when she took her out. To prevent the Hacketts from finding out, she headed to the orphanage and brought a child home. The child in question is you—""That's enough!" Yvonne shouted. "That's impossible. I'm Marietta's daughter. I almost got fooled by you!"She had done a DNA test with Marietta. Moreover, Caroline was the one who had made that happen. How could Caroline have lied to Marietta?Aurora guessed what Yvonne was thinking. She said with a smile, "You're right. You did do a DNA test with Marietta. But remember, Caroline was the one who pulled the strings. She could have easily tampered with things if she wanted to.""Why would she do that?" Yvonne said unhappily, "What would she have gotten out
"I heard from the editor that Marietta had abandoned the cold and bleak themes in her previous works and started exploring more optimistic ones. It's gotten a lot of hype. What do you think?"Aurora was tempted. "That's perfect. Please get the part of the female lead for me."Yvonne gritted her teeth secretly. Aurora was really ambitious. She clearly knew how much Marietta cared about who played the female lead. But she still wanted that role, either way. She didn't have the slightest bit of courtesy."Fine. As long as you keep this a secret, I'll give you any role you want from now on." Yvonne painted an optimistic picture for Aurora.She had to keep this secret. If everyone else found out that she wasn't Marietta's daughter, she would lose everything."Worry not, Yvonne. As long as you make me the female lead in Marietta's work, I can even help you persuade your family not to spill the secret."Yvonne took a deep breath. "Are you serious?""Of course." Aurora said with a s
