Chapter 983

Author: Shining Riviera
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

    On the other side of the city, Sonia sat in front of Caroline with her face sullen. "I didn't hit Aurora on purpose," Sonia said. "I eavesdropped on them and heard them talk about how she had spread the rumor that you had killed Yvonne!"Sonia no longer had a good impression of Aurora. After everything that had happened today, she no longer saw Aurora as a respectable actress at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. Caroline remained quiet the entire time. Her silence made Helena panic. Helena knew Caroline had lost her memories. She also knew that Caroline had only just returned to Evans Group. Since Caroline had lost her memories, she didn't remember who Sonia was.And with the company facing such a huge dilemma just after Caroline had reclaimed it, Helena thought that she wouldn't be pleased to see Sonia. After all, this matter had caused quite a mess. A lot of people believed that Caroline was a bad influence on Sonia. "Caroline," Gwen called out softly. "What d

    Perhaps Gwen could be just like Caroline. She could get hypnotized or undergo electroshock therapy to seal away all her bad memories. This way, she could stop being afraid of getting close to others. Nevertheless, this was no more than a fleeting thought. Gwen smiled, wondering why she kept on having such thoughts lately. …Caroline reached the door to her room at the hotel. She purposely slowed down when she reached it. Kirk's room was just opposite hers. They hadn't met at all that day, and she wondered what he was doing.Caroline let her mind roam in search of an answer as she paced to and fro at Kirk's door. A moment later, she raised her hand and knocked on his door. Sadly, no one answered. Caroline felt a tinge of disappointment. Had he gone out? Eventually, she took out her room card, unlocked her door, and got into her room. The first thing she noticed when she walked inside was that the TV in the living room was on. Her heart swelled with joy, and she quickened

    Caroline struggled to free herself from Eddy's grip, but to no avail.Annoyed, she said, "I don't get it. What happened in the past year? You hated me so much back then, yet now you want me to marry you. Did you lose a few screws up there?" As Eddy stared at Caroline, a sliver of pain flashed through his eyes. There wasn't the slightest hint of love or fondness for him in her eyes.Realizing this, his grip on her hand subconsciously tightened. He snapped, "I don't care if you think I'm crazy. Just tell me if you're coming with me or not!""Or …" He paused and raised her phone in the air. "Are you going to take Mr. Y's side?" Caroline didn't hesitate to reply. "Of course, I choose him!" Eddy sniggered at her words and tilted her chin up to face him with one hand. When Caroline's face contorted in pain, he said slowly, "I'll give you one last chance. Give me your answer when you've thought it through." Before she could speak, he added, "Listen up. If your answer isn't what I w

    "You're lying to me, right? You must have remembered it all!" Eddy yelled into Caroline's face. "I really don't," said Caroline in a monotonous voice. "So you told me his name just to trigger me, huh?" She could still remember that Eddy had pulled the same trick on her on the day of their wedding. "I've been through a lot after learning his name, but I endured it all just to be with him. I didn't pass out," Caroline told him. "That's why Kirk and I are together now." She recalled how Kirk had tried to distance himself from her before. It was ironic how he had to be careful with everything he did so as not to trigger her. Yet Eddy was doing the exact opposite of what Kirk had done. "I might have forgotten the things that happened in the past year, but what happened tonight has helped me see things clearly," she said. She continued, "You hurt me a lot of times in the past year, Eddy. How could you do that to me? I had spent my youth with you, but this is what I gained in the

    Soon, Kirk and Caroline met up with Thomas. When he saw the two of them, his eyes turned bloodshot from the rage boiling within him. "You won!" He spat with so much force that it seemed like he had used up all his strength for it. "Things didn't have to come to this," Kirk said calmly as he sat down beside Thomas. Thomas snorted derisively. "Oh really? If you hadn't chosen to marry Caroline at such short notice, do you think Eddy would have died? You two were the cause of the tragedy!" Caroline didn't feel like talking anymore after seeing how foolishly adamant Thomas was. She gave Kirk a look, and he hummed in acknowledgment. When he turned to face Thomas again, his eyes were frosty "I'm here to tell you something," he said.Thomas let out a bark of scornful laughter. "Why? What else do you have to tell me, huh? Are you going to tell me that you have a child now?" "It's not about me and Caroline's child. It's about yours," Kirk stated plainly as he stared at Thomas

    "Yes, it's true! Why would I lie to you about something so important?" Betty said. "This is wonderful! Marietta's wish has finally come true." Caroline turned to look at Marietta, who had just stopped by the door. Marietta was so shocked by the results that she was too stunned to speak. All she did was stare at Caroline in silence. Caroline opened her lips to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. She and Marietta stood facing each other, tears streaming down their cheeks. The next second, the two of them rushed toward each other and hugged each other as tightly as they could. The words that were at the tip of their tongues turned into tears at this significant moment. The others felt touched as they witnessed the mother-daughter duo's reunion. After some time, Betty broke the silence. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her 'Mom'!"Caroline had once used that word to address Marietta, but she hadn't known that Marietta was her biological mother back then.

    Blushing, Caroline nodded. However, Kirk couldn't lift his head due to his injuries. So, Caroline took the initiative to bend over so that she was closer to him. Their lips touched. Yet before Caroline could get that warm, fuzzy feeling she always had when they kissed, she heard Gwen's voice. "Oh? Did we come at the wrong time?" Gwen grinned.It gave Caroline such a shock that she almost fell to the ground. Cheryl reacted quickly and gave Caroline an arm to hold on to for support. Steadying herself, Caroline stared daggers at Gwen, who giggled and placed the supplements she had brought on a table. Sean and Kirk started discussing what had happened that day, while Caroline led Gwen and Cheryl out of the ward. "Are you two back together?" Gwen asked. There was a sparkle in her eyes, which said enough about how eager she was to gossip. When Caroline nodded, Gwen patted her back gleefully and said, "Great! We all know how much Kirk loves you, even though he kept his ident

    As Caroline mentally prepared to face death, there was a sudden, loud commotion. The noise was followed by gusts of wind that were so strong that no one could pry their eyes open to see what was going on. Still, Caroline could make out the silhouette of a helicopter above her. She had no idea what had happened next, though. …When she woke up, she was already lying on a bed in a ward. Beside her were Betty and Marietta, their eyes red and puffy from crying. When they noticed that Caroline was awake, the two of them shot up from their chairs."Carrie? You're finally awake!" Still groggy, Caroline forced herself to hum in response. After getting up, she grabbed Betty's hand and said, "Where's Kirk?" "He's fine," said Betty while wiping the tears off her cheeks. "He's in another ward, but he hasn't woken up yet." "Can I see him?" Caroline asked, tearing up. Betty nodded and asked Sean to push Caroline's wheelchair to the ward next door. Caroline couldn't hold back her

    Kirk and Caroline hadn't even caught their breaths yet when they sensed a more intense attack coming their way. It didn't seem like these people were human. They seemed like monsters, bringing destruction wherever they went. Caroline watched the situation outside in concern. "Why hasn't Nightshade come back yet? Did he lie to us?" she asked. Kirk gritted his teeth and replied, "No, he wouldn't. They're all people from the dark web, and they're all honorable. Since he promised to bring the top two assassins, he'll definitely come back."As he spoke, he pushed her into a car. "But before that, you have to leave first," he insisted.Caroline noticed that his words were only directed at her. She grabbed his hand tightly. "What do you mean by that?"What did he mean she had to leave first?He replied, "Finn has sent over all his trump cards. If you don't leave, I have no doubt that he'll come here too. So, you need to leave now!" Caroline grabbed his hand. "We haven't gone to Ci

    When she saw his reaction, Caroline couldn't help but smile. "What I mean is, let's head to City Hall to re-register our marriage certificate. The information we used to register our marriage before was all fake. "Can we update it with the real information now?"Kirk brightened up. "No problem."She looked at him and smiled again. However, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "Oh, I forgot about Thomas. Do you think he'll send someone to ambush us when we go to City Hall?"Kirk fell silent. He didn't want to change the plans, but he still said, "Then, let's wait for Nightshade to find the assassins—"Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out from downstairs. His face dropped, and he rushed to the window, where he saw two groups of people engaged in a gunfight. One of the groups was Thomas' men."What's going on?" Caroline asked as she got up from bed."Thomas must have found out that Nightshade left, so he took the chance to ambush us."Kirk led her to a

    "If you make up with Kirk, I'll help you find them both."Caroline and Kirk were stunned to hear Nightshade's condition. Kirk had never expected Nightshade to say such a thing. Caroline was also in disbelief. She felt somewhat reluctant to agree to it."You don't agree?" Nightshade asked when Caroline remained silent. "Alright then, if you disagree, I won't look for them. Besides, Thomas is already planning to go all out against you. "When the time comes, I can escape. But what about you two?"Caroline looked at Kirk. "Thomas plans to go all out against us? You're not lying to me?"Kirk met her eyes and gulped. "No."She pondered for a moment, then looked at Nightshade again. "Do you really have a way to help us find the two assassins?""Of course.""Okay." Caroline lowered her head. "As long as you can help us find those two assassins, I'll agree to your condition."On the other side of the room, Betty and Marietta exclaimed excitedly when they heard her words. "Carrie, do

    When Betty noticed how confused everyone looked, she said, "Oh, dear. Did you all forget?"Back then, when Marietta did the DNA test with that girl from the Hackett family—no, the fake Ms. Hackett—Caroline was the one who went to the restaurant with her."She continued, "Didn't we look through the footage from that day? Then, we called in the people who were at the restaurant that day to do another DNA test."Although they had unfortunately been unable to find Marietta's daughter, Betty still considered it a great effort. "We had thought that we had tested everyone. But there was someone who we didn't test!" Betty's eyes lit up as she looked at Caroline. Marietta immediately understood what she meant. She looked at Caroline with excitement, but she didn't dare to get her hopes up. "Caroline…"Caroline also looked at Marietta excitedly. "I… Aunt Mary… this… Is it possible?"Betty replied, "Why wouldn't it be possible? We tested so many people back then, and you were the only

    Sarah was about to tell Caroline, but Dan stopped her."Don't tell her. Let her live in pain without ever knowing who her real parents are. Besides, do you really think she will get us the best lawyer?"Caroline wasn't upset that they hadn't taken the bait. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face. "You still have some sanity left."Upon realizing her trick, Sarah shouted angrily, "You liar!"However, she was taken away before she could shout more. Caroline watched as Sarah and Dan disappeared in the police cars. The feigned strength on her face finally disappeared. She might never find her parents in this life. But she didn't regret it. She tilted her head and glanced at Kirk, Cheryl, and Jack beside her. She had no regrets anymore.Even though she couldn't get her parents back, she was content that she had so many friends."Let's head back." Caroline's voice was weary. She needed a good rest, but there was still a tough battle waiting for her. The news about Caroline n
