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
Kirk walked into the room and glanced around. Seeing that no one else was in there, he stepped back and tugged at her scarf. His face fell instantly, and he asked, "Who did this to you?"Caroline couldn't meet his eyes. She hadn't expected him to find out about this so easily. She thought she had done a good job at covering it up. "Caroline," he said through gritted teeth.He was very visibly upset. In the end, Caroline could only tell him the truth. "Eddy came."From Eddy's tone, she figured that he and Kirk knew each other. Kirk's face darkened when he heard that name. He turned to leave, just as Caroline had anticipated. Hastily, she rushed forth to stop him."Are you going to see him?" she asked. Kirk simply stared at her in silence. His sharp gaze said it all. "You can't!" Caroline exclaimed. She grabbed his hand in an attempt to drag him into the living room. At first, he wouldn't budge. On her second try, she pulled his hand with all her might and eventually ma
"How do you plan on doing that?" Kirk asked. He could already feel his heart racing. Caroline didn't answer. She simply stared at him. "What?" asked Kirk, nervous. "Don't laugh when I tell you what I'm going to do." "I won't." Caroline pursed her lips for a while before saying, "I want to topple the Morrison family!" Kirk burst out laughing. His laughter was crisp, and Caroline started blushing. "You said you wouldn't laugh!" Smiling, Kirk held her fidgeting hands in his. The mole at the corner of his eye was visible even under the mask, and it somehow made his smile even more charming. "I'm not laughing at your plan," Kirk explained. "It's just that we're on the same page." "You actually …" Caroline couldn't believe her ears as she stared at him in surprise. She couldn't even finish her sentence. "What?" Caroline lowered her eyes, somehow embarrassed. "You actually believed that I could defeat their family." The Morrison family was the ace of the big four famil
