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
Caroline spread out all the documents on the table. "Last night, I watched all your company's advertisements overnight. Do you know what the biggest problem is with these advertisements?"Mr. Mitchell asked casually, "What is it?""You don't highlight the features of your products."Mr. Mitchell scoffed. "Ms. Evans, if I recall correctly, you don't specialize in advertising. Am I right?"Caroline smiled slightly and continued nonchalantly, "I may not specialize in advertising, but as the CEO of a large company, I need to dabble in various industries. Even if I'm not an expert, I know a good advertisement when I see one."She continued, "Your company has always worked with Charm Vista Advertising for advertisements. "They had dominated the market two decades ago, but their ranking in the industry has continued to decline over the years. Have you not thought about that, Mr. Mitchell?"Mr. Mitchell sat up straight. "Not only are you saying there's a problem with my company, but yo
Still slightly frightened, the secretary sighed and said, "So, we're innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire then.""What are you talking about? Eddy won't make things difficult for us as long as we don't work with Caroline," said Mr. Mitchell. He had only just finished speaking when the phone started ringing. The secretary hastily answered the call. "Hello, this is Jacob Mitchell's office." After listening to the person on the other end of the line for a while, the secretary's gaze fell on Jacob, as if expecting a response."Who's calling?" asked Jacob. "It's from the Morrison family—" The secretary was cut off by a smiling Jacob, who immediately took the phone. His attitude was totally different than when he had been with Caroline just now. In addition, the exaggerated smile he wore after learning the other caller's identity made it clear that he was trying very hard to please them."A-Are you really Eddy's second uncle, the president of SY Group?" Jacob exclaimed.
Soon after she left the Mitchell family's F&B company, Caroline received a call from Kirk. "What are you doing?" asked Kirk, although he already had an answer. "I'm getting ready to head over to the next company," Caroline told him. "I see. How did things go with the first company?""The head of the company is a stubborn man. It'll take some time." "You can have your employees do this for you if you're tired," Kirk suggested. After all, he had tricks up his sleeve to make those companies agree to cooperate with Evans Group, even if they weren't willing to do it. SY Group had quite an influence in Easton these days. Just like he had done with the Collins family, Kirk felt that they stood a chance of toppling the Morrison family as well."That won't do." Caroline laughed. "If I don't show up at a time like this, no one will be willing to work for me anymore. That's why I have to handle these people myself." If she could settle things with just one of these companies, it w
