Caroline was thunderstruck. "How can the company still be so intertwined with Morrison Corporation after so many years of in the business?" She had always thought the Evans Group had long since broken free from Morrison Corp's influence. Even if they had help from Morrison Corp, it was just the occasional business deal recommendation. Dan's face became flushed. The Evans Group had indeed contemplated becoming independent of Morrison Corporation, but the competition was too fierce. If they lost Morrison Corp's support, it would already be a miracle if they didn't suffer a loss. Earning money would be out of the question. Caroline let out an abrupt laugh. No wonder her father was so determined to kiss up to those big guns."Carrie, I don't want it to be this way either. Only you can save me now. I'm sure you wouldn't want the Evans family to be ruined either, would you?" Caroline said through her tears, "So you're willing to sacrifice me for the family?" Dan dared not meet her gaz

Eddy was dying to know what kind of woman could make his uncle, who had always been indifferent toward relationships, fall in love at first sight and get married right away. Kirk remained silent. Eddy leaned closer to him and said, "Uncle Kirk, don't tell me that you won't let us see her because she's so beautiful that you want to save her for your eyes and your eyes only?" Kirk didn't deny it.Eddy's eyes widened instantly as he exclaimed, "I got it right! No way, Uncle Kirk. I'm even more curious now that you’re like this. You must let me meet her as soon as possible!" Kirk looked up at Eddy, who looked excited and was anticipating an answer. He smiled imperceptibly. "You'll meet her."After leaving the Morrison Corporation, Caroline raced home and dug into her contacts list. 50 million dollars was probably just the equivalent of a few meals to the upper class, but convincing them to lend her such a sum would be harder than moving mountains, especially when Eddy already had pla

The phone screen went dark, but it lit up again after a few seconds. Kent was happy about that, but when he glanced at it again, his expression changed drastically. He shot to his feet and answered the phone, saying respectfully, "Mr. Morrison." The moment he said that, the noisy room fell into pin-drop silence.Nobody knew what the other person said, but Kent's expression remained respectful the whole time. After a while, he frowned and said, "But, didn't you say … Okay, I understand." With that, he waited for the other person to end the call. Then, he called Caroline. "Ms. Evans? I was in a meeting, so I didn't hear your call. You need to see me? Okay, let's meet up and have a nice long hat. No problem, see you tomorrow night."After putting down her phone, Caroline felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Kirk came back after his smoke and asked, "Good news?" Caroline looked up with a smile and said, "Yup, I made an appointment with someone for tomorrow." "A ma

Caroline rushed to grab a towel from the bedside and stuffed it into Kent's mouth. After all, it was her first time in a situation like that, and she was already at the end of her rope after pushing through to this point. Hearing the knock on the door, she trembled like a leaf, at a complete loss for what to do. A familiar voice came from outside. "Caroline, it's me."Stunned, Caroline opened the door without hesitation. Seeing that it was Kirk, she felt surprised and grateful at the same time. She threw herself into his arms. All the fear and trepidation she felt vanished in an instant. "What … What's the matter?" Kirk patted her thin shoulders lightly and consoled her softly. "What would have happened to you if I wasn’t here?" He looked up and shot a dark glare at Kent, who was sprawled on the ground like a fat pig."Wait here for me and don't go anywhere," said Kirk. He made sure Caroline was safe and walked into the room, shutting the door behind him. The camera was still glo

Everybody got up and prepared to greet Kirk, but what he did was punch Eddy in the face. Their jaws dropped, including Eddy's himself. After a pause, Eddy cradled his cheek and raised his head. "Uncle Kirk?" Kirk looked at him with a venomous gaze. Sean was the first to get his senses back and signaled to the others to leave the room. "Kirk, what's the matter with you?""Yeah, why did you hit me out of nowhere, Uncle Kirk?""You know why, don’t you?" Veins bulged on the back of Kirk's hand. If it wasn't because Sean was holding him back, he would have punched Eddy again. "No matter how much you hate Caroline, you should never have sent a man to rape her!"Kirk's patience toward Eddy had already reached its limit over the surgery incident, and he did not expect Eddy to cross another boundary. Eddy said in shock, "When … When did I send a man to … rape her?""She was almost assaulted by Kent Pearson tonight. I witnessed it with my own eyes. Are you still not going to admit it?"
