After more than half an hour, Caroline finally arrived at the bar Sean had told her to come to. When she saw the flowing traffic surrounding the place, she started feeling deeply suspicious.… Wasn't this a busy main road? Why couldn't they get an Uber?Caroline didn't think more about it. She quickly found Sean waving at her. "Over here!"She walked rapidly over. Not far off, Kirk was leaning against a pole.In the dim light of the night, Caroline couldn't see his features clearly. Only when she got closer did she see that Kirk's eyes were slightly closed. His forehead was scrunched up, and he looked as if he were in pain. The smell of alcohol surrounded him.It seemed that Kirk must have drunk a lot."Kirk!" Caroline patted Kirk's cheeks.Kirk opened his eyes, his red eyes meeting Caroline's gaze all of a sudden.Caroline shuddered violently. It was as if she were looking at a hurt kitten. Her movements became gentler. "Let's go home."Kirk stood without moving.Caroline

Vivian hadn't been prepared for this at all. After a long time, she closed her eyes and wiped the water away.A second later, she raised her hand to give Caroline a slap.Caroline caught her wrist and mocked coldly, "Didn't you say not to make mountains out of molehills, Ms. Patterson?"Vivian's rage was stuck in her throat. She could neither suppress nor express it. It was so frustrating that Vivian wanted to explode. She gnashed her teeth. "Caroline Evans!"Caroline grinned. She turned and addressed the crowd. "As long as I'm still in the design department, I won't allow any bullying. If something like this happens again, you better resign on your own. Otherwise, I will write a detailed explanation about it on your dismissal report!"Once she said that, she shot Cheryl a look. "Let's go."Cheryl looked at Caroline in admiration. It wasn't until Caroline had walked away that she snapped out of her trance and followed.In the office, Cheryl said, "You were so cool just now, Ms

Yet, Jack's final action seemed undoubtedly like a challenge to Eddy.Eddy clenched his fists. He felt enraged, as though something precious had been stolen from him. It made him open the car door with a slam. He floored the gas pedal.With a loud vroom, the Ferrari shot off like an arrow.Only after the car sped away did the crowd return to themselves.None of them could believe their eyes.They hadn't been dreaming … had they?"Somebody pinch me! Pinch me quick! Did I see that wrong? Did Caroline Evans actually reject Mr. Eddy and get into another man's car?"Amidst the packed throng, Vivian sneered disdainfully.When Susan saw this, she started mocking. "That ruffian just now had to be Caroline's husband, right, Viv? He doesn't look like someone with money or power. It's no wonder she's been hiding him and doesn't even say what her husband does. It's because he's a disgrace."Someone was confused. "From the looks of it, Mr. Eddy was here to pursue Caroline. Why doesn't Caro

Caroline shook her head. "What are you thinking? I'm only giving an example. It's been a few months since I married Kirk, I think. I've met his family too. But for some reason, I feel like the person I know isn't the real him. It's just a persona he's showing me."Gwen replied, "Maybe you'll get to know him more if you spend more time together.""Maybe." Caroline half-heartedly put her hair up. "Enough, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink!"Gwen raised her glass and was about to clink it with Caroline's. But then her gaze fell on Caroline's neck. "Carol, what happened to your neck?"It didn't look like a hickey. On the contrary, it looked like someone had throttled her.Caroline remembered the marks and put her hair back down."It's nothing.""Is Kirk abusing you?" Gwen sprung up as she said this. "I'll kill him!""Calm down." Caroline pulled at Gwen. "It has nothing to do with Kirk. It was Eddy.""Then I'll go look for him!" Gwen grabbed a beer bottle and heade

Gwen looked at Sean and saw how he seemed to be carefully trying to get on her good side. She felt displeased. "I'm not that difficult."As she said this, Gwen tossed the pills into her mouth. Then, she picked up the glass of water and drank it all.Sean watched this silently. Once Gwen was done, she smiled."I laid out the bed for you …""Hold it!" Gwen got up and said casually, "Sean, about what happened last time. It was a unique occurrence. You're Kirk's friend, and I'm Caroline's friend. There's no avoiding some interaction between us. Let's use this opportunity to work this out."Sean was taken aback. "How do you want to settle it?""Let's pretend it never happened." Seeing Sean pause, Gwen patted his shoulder in a chummy manner. "You're not looking for me to take responsibility, are you?"When she said this, their eyes met. It seemed as though a spark of electricity had traveled between them.Gwen quickly looked away. Her voice was small as she said, "Please, it's th
