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
After leaving the conference room, Gwen approached them nervously. When she saw Cheryl signal that all was well, she felt her heart return to her chest. But she still asked, "How did it go? You had a meeting with the shareholders on your first day. How do you feel?""It isn't as difficult as I thought. It seems like I've had countless meetings like this. Now, I really want to know what happened in the past year. I feel like every part of me had changed during that time. "It's awe-inspiring. In particular, I'm now fighting against Eddy. Can you believe that, Gwen?"Gwen said with a smile, "I can't believe that was more than a year ago. Well, it's almost time for me to go to work. What are you doing to do next?""I'm going out soon. Since your office is on the way, can you wait for me?""Sure."Gwen waited at the door for five minutes before she saw Caroline carrying a big bag. "Why are you bringing such a big bag?""It contains information about each partner company. I plan to
So Caroline wore a confident smile as she handed over her business card to the secretary before her.The secretary said regretfully, "I'm sorry, Ms. Evans. Mr. Mitchell's schedule is full today."Caroline asked, "What about tomorrow?""It's also full.""What about the day after tomorrow?"The secretary smiled slightly. "Uh, I'm really sorry, Ms. Evans. Mr. Mitchell's appointments are fully booked for three months. If you really want to see him, please make an appointment with him three months in advance."The food company was mid-sized at best.Since Evans Group was now part of the big four families' ranks, it was considered extremely large. Usually, people from these minor companies would bust down the door looking for the owners of such large companies.However, Caroline had come here to see him instead.Yet she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she said patiently, "But I checked Mr. Mitchell's itinerary today. At this time, he should be meeting with the person in charge of an a
