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
Kirk clearly didn't believe Caroline's words, but he still pointed to the bathroom.Caroline couldn't hold on any longer and dashed into the bathroom. As soon as she closed the door, she slid down the door, convulsing. The cold touch of the door on her skin made her body tremble.Her discomfort seemed to be coming from her chest. She tightly held her chest, biting her lip as she let the pain spread throughout her body. She didn't allow a single sound to escape her.But soon, her forehead was covered with sweat. It flowed down her cheeks and fell to the ground, drop by drop."Caroline!" Kirk's stern voice sounded from outside the door. "Are you really having an upset stomach?"Caroline slowly released her lips and replied wearily, "Yes. Kirk, can you buy some medicine?"Kirk frowned. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, I'll get some from downstairs."After that, the door slammed shut. When Caroline heard the door close, she sighed in relief. He finally left.Hissing, Caro
"Carrie." Kirk grabbed Caroline's hand. "I'm taking you to the hospital for a check-up. It won't take long."At Kirk's insistence, Caroline said, "All right. But I need to call the company's PR department first.""Okay, you can call them on the way there."Having no other choice, Caroline followed Kirk downstairs and headed for the hospital.On the way, she called Delilah. "How is your investigation going? Did you find anything to prove who's behind all this?"Delilah was still working overtime. When she heard Caroline's question, she said awkwardly, "Ms. Evans, we've discovered that the media companies that published the news are under Hackett Group, but they aren't directly affiliated with them. Instead, they are linked with them through a third party."Caroline frowned. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll give you another 12 hours. I want you to get the complete chain of evidence by 10:00 am tomorrow.""All right."After getting an affirmative answer, Caroline put h
Moreover, as soon as Caroline saw Kirk, the nurse told her that the medical report was out."You guys are incredibly fast." In astonishment, Caroline looked at the nurse and said, "Your hospital is really efficient. I should do my check-ups here from now on."The nurse smiled slightly at her words. They had to work fast. After all, Caroline and Kirk were important guests that the director had warned them not to neglect.The nurse wondered what their status was. They were so distinguished that the director had taken charge of this case in person. She quickly handed a stack of medical reports to Caroline.Caroline looked through them, and then she said proudly, "See? I told you I was fine, but you still didn't believe me."When Kirk saw her innocent, childlike smile, a smile finally appeared on his cold face. "It's good that you're fine. Let's go back.""Okay." Caroline nodded.…Caroline slept peacefully that night.Firstly, she was glad she had managed to hide her condition
If anyone else had retweeted the crew's statement, most onlookers would think they simply couldn't condone Sonia's actions and were showing their support. But now that Evans Group's celebrities had also shown their support, there were many negative ways to interpret the reasons for their actions.For example, if the claims of Caroline murdering someone were true, it meant that her company's stars couldn't condone her actions. Meanwhile, those who remained silent possibly did so because the company had threatened them. In short, Caroline would be taking the brunt of the situation once more.After listening to Cheryl's words, Caroline said coldly, "You don't have to give them a warning or tell the other artists not to retweet anything. I'd like to see how many of our stars are foolish enough to do that. We'll just take down their names and fire them when all of this is over.""Okay."Caroline said, "Also, don't look for me before 10:00 am. No matter how bad things get online, no
"If you want to fire Sonia, what about me? I'm the spark that set this fire in motion. How are you going to deal with it? Are you going to ask me to step down as CEO?"As soon as Caroline said that, the noisy hall finally became quiet. Everyone looked at each other in shock. She had voiced exactly what they had been thinking. The reason why Eddy had targeted Evans Group was because of Caroline.Moreover, Caroline was currently saddled with a murder case. Evans Group had been in a difficult situation during this time. After discussing the matter privately, everyone had come to the conclusion that their crisis could be solved if Caroline stepped down.That was why that man had deliberately mentioned firing Sonia.After a moment, the man continued, "Since you've brought it up, we'll be straight with you. Right now, Morrison Corp is targeting our company because of you. And currently, you're involved in a massive scandal. "I think it would be better for you to retire so that Morr
Meanwhile, Caroline arrived at the floor where the public relations department's office was located and walked in. At the moment, everyone was working anxiously.When Caroline opened the door to Delilah's office, Delilah thought that her subordinate had come with good news and looked up excitedly. However, she was stunned to see Caroline instead."How's the investigation going?" Before Delilah even said anything, Caroline figured out her answer from her expression. "Is there anything you haven't investigated?"Delilah opened her mouth to say something but stopped. Then, after a moment, she said helplessly, "The media company that had spread most of the news should be under Hackett Group. "But we still haven't found the third party tying them together. If we can't find out who they are, the public won't believe that the Hacketts are behind this incident."Caroline glanced at the time. It was almost 10:00 am. They couldn't delay this issue any longer. If they wanted to issue a st
For a moment, no one knew where to start. The short story competition had been a very niche event. However, it had gained a certain level of attention in Macldo because of Marietta's involvement.Moreover, since the people in Easton were on another continent, they hadn't been aware of Yvonne's filthy tricks in the competition. So, after watching the video, everyone found out that Yvonne had secretly bought an expert writer's manuscript and passed it off as her own to win the competition. Then, she had almost killed Marietta when her identity had been exposed.The surveillance footage had perfectly captured Yvonne lunging at Caroline. Even through the screen, everyone felt a chill as they watched the video.Many people had attended the award ceremony that day, but Yvonne hadn't even bothered to hide her murderous intent. Everyone mused that only Yvonne herself had known why she had wanted to kill Caroline.When the video was released, Marietta's fans were the angriest of the lot.
