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
Cheryl was dumbfounded when she heard that Jacob Mitchell had been so easily persuaded. He had even given the green light to renew their contract.It took some time for Cheryl to snap out of her daze and say, "Okay. I got it." Caroline said, "You can handle the contract. Tell me right away if you face any problems. I'm hanging up then." "Caroline!" Cheryl frantically stopped Caroline. However, she didn't know what to say and could only stand still with the phone in one hand. "What's wrong? Is something the problem?" asked Caroline. "N-Nothing. It's not related to the contract. It's just that …" Cheryl paused, not knowing how to explain further. "Did something happen at the company?" Caroline asked. "No," said Cheryl eventually. "It's about you." "Me? Nothing's happened to me, though." "I'm not sure about it either, but there was news online that Yvonne Hackett was killed overseas," Cheryl said. "Lots of comments claimed that you were the one who killed her, and it s
Caroline was baffled. "Just look into it. Don't bother about anything else," she replied.Although Delilah looked very troubled by her request, she still did as asked. After hanging up, Caroline pressed a finger between her brows and continued looking at the screen.She couldn't figure out anything despite scrutinizing the page for quite some time. In the end, she locked her phone and drove to the next company she intended to cooperate with. …Eddy read the news. He tossed his phone away in distaste and glowered at the subordinate, who stood with his head bowed low before him. Sneering, he said, "I wouldn't have known that my second uncle and his wife were back if it hadn't been for the news." The subordinate wasn't pleased with what had happened either. He said, "Mr. Kirk was very vigilant in making preparations for his return. We only found out that he had returned after seeing the news." "You're telling me that you wouldn't have known that they were back if it hadn't b
Helena was speechless.Sonia, on the other hand, didn't feel like chatting anymore. Picking up an ice bag, she said, "I need to go to the restroom. I'll come back to memorize my lines later." "Alright, go on then." Sonia left the lounge and walked past two rooms. The room after that belonged to Aurora. As an actress who funded part of the set herself, she had the most lavish lounge room to herself. Sonia had just walked past the room when she heard Aurora speaking inside. Usually, Sonia wasn't one to eavesdrop, but she heard Caroline's name. Hence, she slowed down to listen in on the conversation. "As for the news about Caroline being a killer, it's become the hottest topic in town, huh?" asked Aurora."Yes. Everyone online is talking about this," Aurora's manager replied.Aurora laughed. "Caroline's a murderer. I wonder how the public will react upon learning that she's committed such a crime." The manager sneered but then looked worried all of a sudden and said, "Aurora
Noticing the commotion, Helena had a feeling that something wasn't right. She walked over to the room and saw Sonia being held back by some of the crew. Pushing through the crowd, she asked, "Sonia? What happened?""What happened?" Aurora's manager snorted derisively at the question. "This actress of yours is truly a hypocrite. She told the director that she wanted the scene to be realistic, so Aurora believed her and slapped her for the effect."She continued, "But now, Sonia's mad because of it and is taking out her anger on Aurora. If you can't do it, just say that you don't want to. Why pretend like you're some sort of Samaritan and then go back on your word?" Helena stepped in to deny it. "That's not it. Sonia's not that kind of person." Aurora's manager sneered. "Everyone saw it for themselves. Besides, Sonia put all the blame on Aurora and said that she accused Caroline of being a murderer. But she and Caroline have nothing to do with each other."She added, "You shou
"I've always thought that Sonia got where she is after enduring lots of hardship and that she wasn't a pampered woman. Who knew that she had been putting on an act all along? She's shown us her true colors now that she's become a star." "That's not the point. The worst thing is that she accused Aurora of framing Caroline even after the filming crew pulled her away. I would have laughed my head off if I were on the site." "Huh? Did she really do that?""Yeah. I'm part of the crew, and I swear that Sonia accused Aurora of that!" "I'm speechless. She might as well say that Caroline killed someone under Aurora's orders." "That's right. How could she say something like that? Caroline probably brainwashed her." "That's possible. I've been Sonia's fan since she first stepped foot in the entertainment industry. She wasn't like this before. She would submerge herself in a tub of icy water for an entire day just to shoot the perfect scene. She's changed since she met Caroline.""Tsk
