Chapter 990

Author: Shining Riviera
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

    After Kirk applied the medicine to Caroline, she felt a chill in her neck. Feeling uncomfortable, she wanted to rub her neck, but Kirk stopped her."This medicine works really well. The wounds will be gone tomorrow. You wouldn't want your subordinates to see the marks on your neck, would you?"His words managed to make Caroline control her urge to rub her neck. Suddenly, she thought of something. "Kirk, there's something I need your help with.""Here." Kirk handed Caroline a flash drive.Caroline was stunned. "What's this?""This is the surveillance footage from the venue that day. It's proof that Yvonne attacked you first, and a shooter killed her, not you. Moreover, this flash drive also contains the outcome of the police's investigations. This should be enough to prove your innocence."Caroline said with a smile, "How did you know I needed this?"Kirk placed the flash drive on the table. "I saw what happened online.""Oh." Caroline slightly pursed her lips. She looked at Kir

    Caroline hummed in agreement. Then, she looked down at the information of the other business partners.Even though she had handled Jacob, there were still a few tough nuts to crack. This would still be an uphill battle.After looking through the papers for a while, Caroline felt thirsty. When she looked up, she noticed that Cheryl was still standing there and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"Cheryl stared at Caroline, hesitant to speak. After a moment, she said, "Caroline, I'm wondering if we should clear up the situation with the murder first."Many executives have indicated that, because of this case, the business partners who were convinced to keep working with us have decided to go back on their word. If we clear things up, maybe those business partners would …"Caroline pondered for a moment before saying, "I understand your concerns, but Aurora isn't a pushover. I heard that she might get married to Asher, the Hacketts' heir, soon. She also has a significant influence on the

    Cheryl quickly rushed to see Caroline when she saw Gwen's reply. "Caroline, Sonia has obtained the surveillance tape, but it has been wiped clean. We need someone to recover the lost footage."Caroline put down her pen. "Get someone to recover it as soon as possible. Once they're done, we can announce the truth."However, Cheryl looked at Caroline awkwardly."What's wrong?""Helena has already asked some specialists, and they said it will be challenging to recover them."Caroline frowned. "In that case, get someone else to try it. If there's really nothing we can do, I'll figure out another way."Cheryl asked, "Caroline, I heard Mr. Kirk is very proficient in things like this. I'm wondering if we should give the tape to him. Perhaps he can fix it."Caroline asked, "You're saying Kirk can do that?""Yeah." Cheryl explained, "Gwen says Mr. Kirk is very good at this."Caroline frowned, feeling some memories trying to emerge from her head. She grabbed the table. "He's very good at

    The director and crew believed they should kick Sonia out of the team. But since Asher was investing in this drama and Aurora was his future wife, the director wanted to let Aurora play the villain.He thought she would be happy to play the role. After all, everyone could see that Aurora had been targeting Sonia. Unexpectedly, she had thrown the offer right back at them. She seemed to cherish her reputation."In that case, I'll discuss this with the others. I'll get out of your hair, Ms. Jenner."Aurora smirked, remaining silent.After the director left, Aurora's manager approached her and said with a smile, "Aurora, Sonia has probably gotten the surveillance tape by now.""Oh? So soon?""That's right. According to the other managers, Sonia's manager, Helena, has been asking people how to recover the footage all morning. How ridiculous! Even an idiot would know that it's impossible. We destroyed it on purpose, after all. It's fascinating to see them helplessly clinging on to hope

    Caroline returned to the hotel after work with the surveillance tape Cheryl obtained. When she arrived at the door to Kirk's room, she hesitated for a long while. After mentally preparing herself, she finally plucked up the courage and knocked on his door.The door quickly opened, and Kirk appeared in his bathrobe before her. Caroline's face turned warm at the sight. His bathrobe was unfastened, exposing his abs and chest. The sight of his body ignited a flame in Caroline.When Kirk noticed Caroline's red ears, he realized something and fastened his bathrobe. "Is there something I can do for you?""Yeah." Caroline nodded. After glancing to make sure Kirk had properly put on his bathrobe, she walked in and said, "The surveillance tape Sonia found had been wiped clean. Cheryl said you're good at these things, so I brought it here. Can you recover the footage?"Kirk took the surveillance tape and glanced at it. "That's a simple job."Caroline's eyes widened slightly at his word

    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
