Everyone went to have a meal together at the hotel before going home. Kirk dared not take Caroline back to their old house, so they could only stay at the hotel for now.After asking Kirk for permission, Gwen pulled Caroline aside to discuss Collins Group."Wait, did I acquire Collins Group?"Caroline remembered what had happened a year ago, so she knew that the Collins family had joined the big four families after wringing the Evans Group out of the system. However, she had never dreamed that she would acquire Collins Group."A-Am I really that capable?" Caroline grabbed Gwen's arm. "Tell me, Gwen. How on earth did I acquire Collins Group?"When Gwen saw that Caroline was fine, she boldly continued. Of course, she didn't tell her the full truth. She simply made some adjustments to the story."After you became the CEO of Evans Group and grew it, you had enough money to acquire Collins Group." Gwen smiled at Caroline, trying to make her lie look more convincing."A-Am I reall
Caroline hadn't had the confidence to manage a large company before she lost her memories.Gwen waited for Cheryl to send the documents before handing them to Caroline. "These are major companies. If they don't work with us, we'll suffer huge losses."Caroline glanced at the names of the companies. They looked familiar. These companies stood out in their respective fields and had a strong say in them. However, they weren't a match for the Morrisons. So it was understandable that they had wanted to back away from the contract as soon as Eddy put pressure on them.Gwen saw that Caroline had already begun studying the list of companies, so she walked out quietly without disturbing her.Cheryl and Sonia had been waiting downstairs at the hotel for a long time. When they saw Gwen walk out, they quickly approached her."How did it go? Was Caroline okay when you talked to her about Evans Group?"Sonia and Cheryl were also anxious.Gwen gave them a relaxed smile. "Yeah. She's going th
Gwen had been working for years, so she knew some people loved being mean and causing trouble at work. But after visiting the set several times and watching the crew, she understood that some people were simply cunning and shrewd. The people on set treated other people according to their status.If the actor was somewhat famous, everyone would treat him with respect. However, if he wasn't famous and didn't have a strong backer, his life on set would be miserable. He would get the short end of the stick.Even if the actor was somewhat famous, they would only feel embarrassed when they met someone even more famous."Is it Aurora?"The project Sonia had been working on this time also involved Aurora. It was no wonder Gwen believed that Aurora was the bully. The latter had been acting brazenly during this time.After all, she had the Hacketts' support. As of late, neither the Morrisons nor the Sorkins wanted to support any artist. Caroline had wanted to support Sonia, but since
Gwen finally dropped the subject after hearing Sonia's response.…Meanwhile, Aurora, the object of their discussion, was watching the surveillance footage from the airport. The surveillance footage at the airport clearly showed Marietta standing with Caroline.Even after confirming that, Aurora still couldn't believe her eyes. How could Yvonne let Marietta and Caroline interact with each other?Feeling puzzled, Aurora dialed Yvonne's number again. But just like every other time, no one answered the call.Aurora racked her brain and thought of Adrian. Adrian and Yvonne were in the same place, and she was sure that Yvonne pestered him often. Perhaps she could find Yvonne with Adrian's help.As Aurora thought about that, she took out her phone and dialed Adrian's number. She had never called him since he had gotten together with Asher.The reason was simple. She feared that Asher would overthink things, and she also feared that she would second-guess her own decisions.After thin
Back at the hotel, it was already past 11:00 pm, but Caroline was still awake.When Kirk opened the door, he happened to see Caroline reading the documents attentively. This sight somehow took him back to the past. After Caroline had taken over Evans Group, she had often gone through papers in their bedroom."What are you doing here?" Caroline raised her head and reached for the glass of water.Kirk walked into the room and stared at Caroline. "Why are you still up?"Caroline looked at the time. "It's only 11:00 pm. I'm not tired yet."Kirk knew her well. She wouldn't be able to go to sleep if she didn't finish something. "What are you reading?""The company's information." Caroline said excitedly, "Did you know? I'm actually the CEO of a large company!"She dared not mention that her company was part of the big four families, fearing it would scare Kirk. But after finishing her words, she found her actions funny. This had all happened during the past year, so Kirk definit
Looking up, Kirk noticed Caroline looking at him intently and stepped back. "Why are you looking at me like that?"Caroline stared into Kirk's eyes. "I'm really curious about what you look like. Can I touch your face?"After saying that, Caroline promised, "I won't peek. I just want to touch your face."Seeing the desire in her eyes, Kirk couldn't bring himself to refuse. He looked out and picked up the eye mask beside the bed. "Are you sure you won't peek?""I'm sure!" Caroline put her hand over her heart. "I swear I won't!"Kirk said, "Cover your eyes with this.""Okay." Caroline followed Kirk's instructions and put on the eye mask.Seeing that Caroline was ready, Kirk took off his mask."Are you ready?" Caroline asked after waiting patiently for a minute.Kirk felt both amused and petulant at seeing her impatience. He bent down to Caroline's level. "I'm ready."Caroline stretched out her hand and touched Kirk's face according to the height she remembered. Raising her h
Caroline got up early the next day, and with Gwen's guidance, she arrived at the new company.Looking at the splendidly decorated Evans Group, Caroline felt as if she was in a dream. Although she had no memories of Evans Group in the past, this building was the same as what her parents had described.The extravagance of the building made even a brick on the ground seem priceless. Even her parents and relatives would miss the old days after seeing this."My parents must be happy I got Evans Group back, right?" Caroline mentioned Dan and Sarah.Gwen's expression shifted at her question. Thinking about how Caroline had already accustomed herself to Kirk's presence, she said, "Carol, many things have happened in the past year. Many people have changed, including your parents. If you believe me, remember this—your parents aren't good people. Also …"Caroline asked curiously, "What is it?"Gwen thought for a moment before saying, "Forget it. You don't need to know much for now. At a
"When the future generation asks you about this, how will you answer them?"Caroline's words made the blood of several elderly shareholders boil with excitement. They had never enjoyed glory and wealth. Their reputation was the most important thing to them.If they really failed, at least they would have tried. It wouldn't be embarrassing if word about that got out. If they succeeded in withstanding Morrison Corporation's attack, their fight would definitely become a story passed down for generations."That's right! We're not cowards! So what if the Morrisons are the top family in Easton? It doesn't mean they can push us around!""I also think we should fight back! We have lived for a long time! We've met tons of people and endured a lot of hardships!""That's right! At worst, we'll just retire. We won't starve to death in this era. Let's fight against Morrison Corp!"As Cheryl listened to the shareholders' passionate words, she couldn't help but look at Caroline with envy. If
