Kirk could tell Caroline was lying, but he didn't expose her. "That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" Sean felt his heart return to its place in his chest. When he thought about it carefully, Gwen hadn't known that he had visited Solomon. So, she couldn't have known about his deal with Solomon.At the thought of this, Sean finally smiled. "I'll head back. You two have a nice chat."Caroline looked at his relaxed behavior and looked helplessly at Kirk. "Mr. Y, am I deceiving Sean?""No." Kirk let go of Caroline's hand and distanced himself from her. His gaze became stern. "Didn't I tell you that you can't leave this place? It's very dangerous outside!""But Gwen was going home. She's my best friend. I would feel bad if I hadn't seen her off. Besides …"Caroline lowered her head and said sadly, "With Gwen gone, there won't be anyone to keep me company. Who knows when she will be back?"Kirk kneeled and looked into Caroline's eyes. "You don't like it here?"Caroline's h
After learning that Gwen had returned to Easton, Cheryl and Sonia went to the airport to pick her up.Sonia wrapped herself tightly in her disguise and asked about Caroline's condition as soon as Gwen got in the car."Carol is doing fine. We don't have to worry since Kirk will take care of her." Gwen forced a smile.Sonia and Cheryl looked at each other, noticing that Gwen didn't look too good. They began to worry."Gwen, did Caroline encounter any problems over there? Why don't we go there too?"Gwen shook her head. "I'm telling the truth. Carol is doing well over there, and Sean's mother—"At the mention of Sean, Gwen felt as if her heart had been stabbed, and she frowned.As an actress, Sonia was very observant. She immediately understood what was going on."Sean's mother even took her in as her daughter. Carol's now the daughter of the Yates family."Cheryl didn't notice anything wrong and wanted to question her further, but Sonia gently nudged her arm."That's great." So
"Mom!" Gwen interrupted Olivia in annoyance. "Don't you know what kind of person Dad is? Nobody needs to seduce him. Don't come to me for this kind of thing. I'm so sick of it." Olivia was momentarily stunned. A moment later, she started wailing and yelling."Dear God! Even my daughter refuses to take my side now!" she said. "You people don't want me anymore! Why is my life so miserable?"Olivia's cries annoyed Gwen even further, but she steeled her heart and ignored her mother. She didn't have the time or energy to be bothered with these things. Seeing how Gwen walked off without even turning back for a glance, Olivia slumped on the ground, exasperated. …Gwen left for Evans Group early the next morning so that Olivia wouldn't have the chance to continue annoying her. She hadn't slept well the night before, so she thought it would be best not to drive today. She chose to call a cab instead. She found herself feeling much better by the time she arrived at Evans Group.
The door was abruptly shoved open. Sean stood at the door.Startled, Gwen's only response was to blink in shock. "Gwen," Sean said as he approached her. In the blink of an eye, he was so close to her that she could smell his scent. She was still in a daze when she suddenly stumbled forward into his arms.When she crashed against his sturdy chest, she realized that it wasn't a dream at all. The Sean before her eyes was real! He had come to Easton!"What? Have you lost your mind from the shock of seeing me here?" Sean asked as he let go of her. He couldn't help but feel amused to see her in such a clumsy state. Gwen still couldn't believe her eyes. "Why are you here?" she asked. "Didn't you promise—"Sean smiled. "Promise Solomon that I would be with his daughter?"Gwen blinked, and the sparkle in her eyes vanished in an instant. Annoyed, she pushed him away. "Yeah. Didn't you say you would be with Katie?" Sean couldn't stifle his laughter anymore. He said, "Can I blatan
Cheryl accepted her fate and returned to the top floor of the office. It came as a total surprise when the company's shareholders rushed forth to surround her instead of blaming her for what had just happened. "Cheryl, was that man the genius doctor from Macldo?" "Wow! Is he Gwen Jameson's boyfriend? It would be wonderful if he truly is her boyfriend!""Yeah! I've heard that SY Group's CEO is good friends with Dr. Yates. If we can get to him through Dr. Yates, we will have nothing to worry about in the future." "That's right! By then, we wouldn't have to be afraid at all, even if the Morrisons attacked us!" Facing the group of excited men, Cheryl couldn't stop herself from jeering at them inwardly. Why would they need to go through such trouble to get SY Group's support when Kirk already had Caroline's back all along? …Gwen and Sean went home to the Jameson family's house. Neither of them spoke along the way. Part of the reason was that Gwen didn't know what she sho
Sean's tone was austere enough to startle Olivia. "Do you know that Gwen doesn't look fondly upon the idea of marriage?" A look of confusion took over Olivia's face. "I didn't know that. Is Gwen—""It's true. Why do you think she didn't have a boyfriend until now?" "She enjoys her freedom," said Olivia. "I remember she had a boyfriend back then, but she changes boyfriends now and then …" Sean's stare made Olivia raise her head as the sudden realization hit her. "The reason she changed boyfriends so frequently back then was because she didn't want to marry, huh?" she said in disbelief. "Don't you understand? Your relationship with Mr. Jameson has broken her faith in love. That was why her relationships lasted no longer than a couple of days. "To her, being in a relationship for more than three days is already considered a privilege." Olivia sighed. "I wasn't aware of this. I didn't know that her father's cheating on me would affect her this much." "I understand that
Caroline picked up the phone. "Are you in Easton already? Have you seen Gwen?""Carol, it's me." Gwen's voice sounded from the phone. Caroline's hand shot to her heart in shock. "Are you two together? Listen, Gwen. Mr. Y explained it to me already. Sean's—"Gwen interrupted Caroline with a light laugh. "I know." "So you two have reconciled, then?" Caroline glanced at Kirk beside her. The joy in her eyes was proof that she was happy for Gwen from the bottom of her heart. Gwen looked at Sean, unsure of how she should define the word "reconcile". Nevertheless, she didn't hate the word as much as before. "That's wonderful!" said Caroline. She knew what Gwen was thinking, even though the latter hadn't said anything. "Gwen ..." Caroline muttered. She hadn't forgotten the bet she made with Gwen. "Don't forget our bet." Gwen smiled. "Of course."Caroline sniffed and said,. "I won't disturb you two any further. Enjoy your time together. I'll think of what the prizes are after t
Marietta sat in her study in her villa.Her countenance was as pale as ever. She held a DNA test report in her hands. The results were out. Yvonne really wasn't her daughter. She had thought that she had mentally prepared herself for this, but now that she had the results, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by it all. Yvonne wasn't her daughter. Then, where in the world was her daughter? Marietta didn't even have the mental capacity to wonder why the first DNA report had been wrong. She was trapped in her thoughts when the door burst open. "Mom," greeted Yvonne, her footsteps light as she came into the house. "I heard that you stayed in your room and refused to leave the house for the past few days. Were you busy reviewing the drafts for the short story competition?"She was so immersed in her joy that she failed to notice there was something off with Marietta. "Mom, can you tell me who the winner is?" Yvonne asked. Even though Avery had called her and told he
