The elder said unhappily, "She clearly did something wrong, but she's still unapologetic about it. I've already told you. Country bumpkins like her are uneducated.""It doesn't matter if she's uneducated. You can just educate her. But the most terrifying thing is that she lacks common sense," Theodora said worriedly.She continued, "After what happened last time, the Hacketts and the Evans Group are already adversaries, but what did she do? She doesn't have a single amount of tact and still hangs out with Caroline all day. Maybe she sold our company's secrets long ago, and she doesn't even know it!"When Selena heard her words, she was displeased. "What do you mean by that, Theodora?""Oh, I'm just rambling. Don't take my words to heart.""Even if you are, I think this is very likely." The elder in the middle said sternly, "She's often with Caroline. Who knows? She might have told her our company's secrets!""No way." Aiden said firmly, "Cheryl wouldn't betray our family. Before

Cheryl pursed her lips.Noticing her refusal to answer, Aiden said, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. All right, it's getting late. It's time for us to get some rest. You should get some rest as well!"As Cheryl watched Aiden and Selena leave, she felt a wave of disappointment from him for some reason. It wasn't that she didn't want to answer him, but she didn't know how to. If word about what happened got out, it would cause a buzz in Easton. The future heir of the largest family in the country was dead. That revelation would cause an uproar anywhere else.Aiden probably wouldn't believe it if she told him. He might even think Caroline was bluffing.After entering their room, Selena could tell that Aiden was upset. She gently rubbed his back. "What's wrong? Are you still sad that our daughter didn't answer your question?"Aiden shook his head. "No.""No? We've been married for so many years. I know you very well," Selena replied. "Hey, don't be sad. After all, Cheryl d

"That's not what I meant!" Cheryl stared at Joshua warily. "I'm asking how you got in here!"The Hacketts' residence's security was airtight. There was no way Joshua broke in."Of course, the Hackett family members brought me here." Joshua sat down on another swing. It was as if he owned the place and no one else was around. "You're living the good life, Cheryl! How many lifetimes do I have to work to get a life like yours? It must be fun being part of a rich family!"Cheryl glared at Joshua. "If you don't leave, I'll call security!""Don't do that!" Joshua was very calm and wasn't frightened by Cheryl's threat in the slightest. He even smiled at her. "Cheryl, did you know? Since you left, I haven't been able to eat or sleep. All I wanted to do was to see you."Cheryl was very disgusted by his words. She was about to take out her phone to call someone when Joshua said, "Actually, I was relieved after knowing you're not my sister."Cheryl looked at him. "What do you mean by that?"

"The wealthy can be ruthless, but not all of them are like that. Besides, Aiden and Selena are your parents, and you're their daughter. It's only natural that parents love their children."Cheryl smiled. "I always think about the worst-case scenario for everything. Maybe that's why I thought they'd abandon me for their benefit before I returned to this family. "In fact, after thinking about it, if they were really such parents, they wouldn't have agreed to give up on their attack on the Evans Group in the first place.""Yeah." Jack gently hugged Cheryl. He enjoyed every second of the moment and savored every second with her."Maybe Caroline's parents left such a deep impression on me that I thought Aiden was like them."Speaking of Dan and Sarah, Cheryl still had some fears. Fortunately, Eddy was dead now, and Dan and Sarah were nowhere to be found. Otherwise, Caroline would probably have a hard time.Jack explained, "There are all kinds of parents. Madam was just unlucky to h

"You don't have to answer if you feel awkward about it." Looking into the distance, Kirk said, "Carol, it doesn't matter whether or not you choose to be with me. I just want you to be happy."Caroline looked at Kirk's side profile. She believed his words were sincere. But it would be great if he wasn't a Morrison."Oh, yeah." Kirk turned to look at Caroline. "Carol, you said you need me for something. What was it? You don't have to feel awkward. Even if we aren't spouses anymore, we're still friends. And friends should help each other, don't you think so?"As Caroline looked at Kirk, she felt her emotions welling up in her chest. He was so kind. He was so kind that she felt a little ashamed. Because of this, Caroline didn't have the courage to make demands."Is there a problem?" Kirk gently asked when Caroline was quiet for a long while.Caroline shook her head. "No. I don't think I should trouble you anymore. I'd better handle it myself.""I don't find it troubling.""But
