"I've already asked Mr. Y to help me translate it," Caroline explained."Oh, so he helped you with that. That means you're playing to win.""Of course." Gwen hugged Marietta's arm. "I'm sure Carol's writing will be the best."After hearing her words, Caroline couldn't help but chuckle. "You're praising me too much, Gwen.""You're my best friend. Who am I supposed to praise if not you?" Gwen whined, grabbing Caroline's arm and swaying side by side. But when she noticed Sean's eyes on her, she stopped smiling. She turned her head, avoiding his blatant stare. "By the way, Aunt Mary, since you're here, you should look through Carol's writing for her.""Sure," Marietta agreed readily.Then, the three of them walked upstairs."Gwen," Sean called out from behind. Only then did the women remember that Sean was there, too. They turned to look at him."Stick around for a moment. I have something to tell you."Gwen looked at Caroline hesitantly.Caroline said with a smile, "Aunt
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Sean frowned.Gwen turned her head away, not meeting Sean's gaze. She feared that her resolve would be shaken. "What is this truth or lie that you speak of?""The truth is that I don't want to do it. I can give up my laboratory."Gwen turned around and asked, "Why?"Sean didn't answer her. "You didn't let me finish."Gwen remained silent."The lie is that I'll agree to his two requests for the sake of the laboratory." Sean walked toward Gwen, his tone laced with pain. "Gwen, what do you think I should choose?"Right now, Gwen didn't know where to look, and she kept backing away. "I don't know. I really don't."Sean grabbed her hand. "After I agree to these two requests, I can open my laboratory and find out who's targeting Caroline behind the scenes. "If I tell you that, would you ask me to agree to the two requests without hesitation?"Gwen raised her head, about to agree. But when she saw the sad smile on Sean's face, she finally
Back then, the DNA report had clearly stated that Yvonne was Marietta's daughter. Had something gone wrong at the hospital?It was unfortunate that Caroline had lost her memories from the past year or so. Otherwise, she might have been able to answer Marietta's questions."Aunt Mary, are you thinking about what Gwen said?" Caroline's voice pulled Marietta away from her thoughts."No, I'm not thinking of anything.""Please don't lie to me, Aunt Mary."Since Marietta had been standing at the door at that time, there was no way she hadn't heard what Gwen said. She just didn't want to make things awkward.Seeing how things had reached this point, Marietta didn't see a point in denying it anymore. So she said, "Carrie, you don't have to worry about my feelings. Just answer me based on your intuition. Do you think all this is Yvonne's doing?""Aunt Mary, you don't have to take Gwen's words to heart. Besides, I've only met Yvonne a few times. I can't just jump to conclusions about wh
The next second, the door opened, and Yvonne entered the room in high spirits. "Mom, I want to show you something."Marietta forced herself to cheer up. "What is it?""This is the short story I wrote. What do you think?""Have you started writing as well?" Marietta finally regained her spirits. She took Yvonne's manuscript and looked through it a few times before frowning. "Why does your writing remind me of someone else's writing style?"Yvonne's heart skipped a beat at her words, and she resisted the urge to get her manuscript back. "No way. I wrote this myself."Marietta took another look at the manuscript and felt that strong sense of familiarity once more. However, she didn't have the energy to think about it now. "Why did you suddenly think of writing a short story?" "You're going to be a judge in the short story competition, right? Since I'm your daughter, everyone will definitely doubt my lineage if I can't even write. So I might as well take the chance to participat
The conversation between him and Gwen earlier that day crossed his mind."I've always thought I had a place in your heart, but I now realize that my place in your heart will never be comparable to Caroline's. Scratch that. My place in your heart will never be equal to hers."Since Gwen cared about Caroline so much, she would definitely feel bad that her friend was being demeaned online. She probably felt the way Sean was feeling right now. He felt sympathy for Gwen."Will you stop tossing and turning?" Kirk, who had endured Sean's fussing around for a long time, finally couldn't resist saying something.Sean sat up from the couch. "Kirk, can't you delete all the insults directed toward Caroline?"Kirk glanced at him. "Do you think I don't want to? "Sean was rendered speechless. His mind was getting muddled. The situation in Macldo was different from Easton. In Easton, the Morrisons were considered the ones on top.But in Macldo, Finn's company had started to rise through th
When Sean visited Solomon's manor this time, he was in a completely different mood compared to the last time. Back then, he had come here to inquire about his situation. But this time, he was here to negotiate."Haha. I knew you would be back, Dr. Yates. Sure enough—" Solomon stretched out his arms to hug Sean.However, Sean coldly avoided him. "Mr. Emberly, I'm not here to reminisce but to give you an answer.""Oh, have you changed your mind, Dr. Yates?""I wouldn't say that. I can agree to your first request and help you convince Mr. Sterling to sell his land. However, I'm afraid I can't agree to your second request."Solomon's expression shifted, and he held back his anger. "Why? Is my daughter that bad?""It's not that she's bad as a rich girl, but I only want Gwen," Sean said word for word.Solomon snorted, "Dr. Yates, you should know better than me that love won't help your career in any way."Sean endured his anger and held back his rebuttal. He sat down and said, "I'l
Katie thought of someone, and her eyes lit up. She glanced at Solomon and Sean, who were still talking downstairs, and slipped out through the back door.…At this moment, Gwen was with Caroline at Yates Manor. She had come because she knew that Sean wasn't there."Are you really going to leave so soon?"When Caroline found out that Gwen was leaving after her competition, she held her friend's hand and said, "Gwen, can't you stay a little longer?"With Gwen around, Caroline's life in Macldo wasn't dull anymore. Now that Gwen was returning to Easton, would her life be as boring as before?"I can't stay any longer. The company has been very kind to let me stay until the end of the competition," Gwen said with a smile. "Don't be like that, Carol. I've already talked with my company. When there's another business trip in Macldo, they'll send me here.""All right." Caroline hugged Gwen. "I really don't want to see you go, Gwen.""Idiot."While they were talking, Gwen's phone ra
After listening to Gwen's broken explanations, Caroline finally realized what had happened."So you're saying Sean agreed to be with the diplomat's daughter to continue his experiment? I don't believe that. Sean isn't like that. "When I first came here, he bugged me every day, wanting to understand you. He asked me to tell him everything about you. He forced me to recall even the smallest details."Gwen's heart was cold. "Carol, do you still remember what you said when you first met my parents?"Caroline shook her head. She had probably first met Gwen's parents when she was a child.Gwen explained, "I remember it very well. You told me that my parents looked so lovey-dovey. Do you know why I remember this? "Because you saw their affection but not the vile things they say when they blame each other behind their backs."She continued, "Sometimes, I want to believe that love exists. But how do you expect me to do that? It's hard to know what someone is feeling. I'm not good at re
