Avery grinned, still covering her burning cheek. "You've finally shown your true colors. I will show Kirk how much of a vixen you really are." Caroline crossed her arms. "He knows what kind of person I am better than you. I'm just taking a page out of your book on being a two-faced crude."Avery took a deep breath. "You have a really accurate judgment of yourself." Then, she added, "At the end of the day, you're just suspecting that I'm involved in what happened at the swimming pool. But you don't have any proof, do you? Like I said, I'm not stupid enough to do something like this and make Kirk hate me."Caroline glared at Avery. If Avery was involved in the swimming pool incident, she was indeed terrifying. She was completely different from Layla, who usually played the innocent victim. Avery was intelligent and meticulous. She didn't leave any loose ends when she did something. However …A smile played on Caroline's lips. There would always be a trail, and Avery would ev

"It's all right." Caroline smiled. After watching him enter the hotel, she turned to look at Kirk again. Kirk was still talking on the phone.Caroline scrolled through her phone for about five minutes before she felt a large hand wrap around her waist.Kirk asked, "Did you wait long?"Caroline looked up at him and said, "Nope. Are we going home now?""Yeah," Kirk said.Caroline asked, "What about Dad?"Kirk paused momentarily before replying, "He's still at the Mendeley Residence.""Should we take him home with us?"Caressing Caroline's slender waist, Kirk replied, "He just wants some grandchildren, so he wouldn't want to come home." As he spoke, he hugged Caroline. "Let's have a baby." He'd initially thought that he could wait, but he couldn't anymore. He wanted a child with Caroline, one that belonged to them alone. It was the only way to leave his mark on her.Seeing the tenderness swirling in Kirk's gaze, Caroline was tempted, but she remained rational. She said, "We'l

Caroline felt heat quickly spreading throughout her body. Feeling flustered, she asked, "Why are you being so indecent when I'm asking you a serious question?"Gwen covered her mouth and teased, saying, "I am being serious. Trust me, this method works every time. You'll definitely thank me after you try it."Caroline was dumbfounded.Gwen smiled merrily as Caroline hung up the phone quickly. But her joy vanished immediately afterward. She thought, "My dear friend …"Just as she was brooding, she saw a message from Sean. It read, "Are you free for dinner tonight?"Gwen froze. She hesitated for a moment, then closed the app immediately. She hadn't seen Sean since they had slept together last time. He seemed to be fine and would ask her out for dinner from time to time as if nothing had happened.Gwen was furious. Why was she losing her mind while he had completely forgotten about it? But it wasn't like she could just barge into his home and scold him. That would show that she c

The next day, Caroline woke up with a sore back. Still, she went to Fableland with Kirk. She thought they had to queue up, but when she went inside, she discovered that there was no one else except the staff."Why … aren't there any tourists?" Caroline murmured. She had been to Fableland in Easton a few times, and it would always be crowded with people. However, this place was uncharacteristically quiet and deserted. Not only that, but every staff member also smiled at them as if they were VIPs.Kirk coughed lightly. "Maybe we came too early. Where do you want to go first?"Caroline unfolded the theme park map and pointed to one of the places. "Let's go here."Kirk glanced at where Caroline had pointed and saw the words "Battle for the Underwater Treasure" written on the map. "All right. I'll go make a call.""Okay." Caroline nodded. She waited where she was. After a while, Kirk returned. "Let's go."Battle for the Underwater Treasure was Fableland's most popular exhibit. I

Caroline frowned. She kept thinking that this woman was weird. Just as she was about to question the woman, Kirk's phone rang, diverting her attention.She turned to Kirk. He had already looked away from them and answered the phone. The call was from Ivan, and he sounded very serious. "Come and see Avery right away."Kirk refused immediately, saying, "I'm not free at the moment.""You have to come! Something serious has happened!"Kirk raised an eyebrow. He answered coldly, "Let her wait!"After he hung up the phone, the atmosphere became colder and quieter. Caroline could even hear a rattling sound. She looked at the woman in confusion again.The woman's face was pale, as if she were ill. Her boyfriend wasn't much better. His face was ashen, too. Just like that, their underwater adventure ended on a strange note. Caroline wasn't happy about it, so she suggested they take the ride again.This time, Caroline could finally enjoy herself since the couple wasn't around. She di

The woman stared blankly at Kirk, who stood nearby, and her eyes turned red again. She put her head down and ran away.Caroline silently watched the woman run away."What's wrong?" Kirk had already finished his call. When he saw the employee running away, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.Caroline touched her face. "Do I look scary today?" Why had the woman cried after just a brief conversation with her?Kirk lowered his head and carefully looked at the makeup on Caroline's face. After a moment, he smiled and kissed her lips. "Not at all. In fact, you look adorable."Caroline pushed him away with a blush. "Cool it. Why did Dad call you?"The smile on Kirk's face disappeared. He said, "I don't know. He said he'll explain after we head there.""Let's go," Caroline said."Okay."The two went to Ivan's home. As soon as they walked through the door, they saw Avery sitting on the couch with a pale face. There was still a red mark on her face, courtesy of Caroline's slap a few days

"Stop!" Ivan yelled. He was trembling, obviously very angry. "It's very simple. Someone leaked Avery's drafts for the game concept, and that too, to a rival company. Now, that rival company has registered and published the game first, making Avery's efforts in the past six months for naught."He continued, "After investigation, the company found that the email used to send the drafts to the rival company belongs to Caroline.""How could it be me?" Caroline was stunned. Then, she smiled and said, "Until now, I didn't even know what Avery's job was, let alone what the rival company is."Avery bit her lips, a hint of distress appearing in her calm gaze. "I—I don't know. Anyway, the email the company found was yours. To tell you the truth, I don't believe it either. But the facts are right before me, so I must accept the truth."Caroline was genuinely impressed with Avery's superb acting. The entertainment industry was missing out on an actress like her."Okay, at the very least,

Lia's words were directed at Caroline. She was clearly saying that Caroline had no manners and didn't deserve Kirk.Caroline smiled patiently. When she spoke, her tone was gentle, but it contained a chilling hint of pressure. "Mrs. Mendeley, we haven't uncovered the truth yet, so you better not talk too much. Otherwise, it might backfire on you."Lia feared Kirk and Ivan, so she didn't dare to act impudently. Still, she didn't care about Caroline at all.Upon seeing Caroline still had the gall to refute, Lia's expression darkened.She didn't care about her status or seniority anymore. She retorted, "What do you mean by that? Avery's concept draft is on your USB drive! I've met plenty of stubborn people, but I've never met someone as stubborn as you."At this moment, Avery, who had been sobbing, said weakly, "Mom, that USB drive really isn't hers.""Avery, why are you still defending her at a time like this …""Mom, that's my USB drive." Avery frowned, about to cry again. "I only
