"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
