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

In the surveillance footage, Kirk asked Caroline to leave. When she left, she happened to brush past Avery. The gap between them was so small that they couldn't see anything at normal speed, but they could see everything when Avery slowed down the footage. When Caroline brushed past Avery, she quickly reached into Avery's bag and took something away. If Caroline hadn't properly looked at the video, she wouldn't have noticed. At this moment, she finally understood why Avery was so calm. She had already tampered with the surveillance footage.Avery wasn't only cunning, but more importantly, she had the skills to back it up. She was a formidable rival.Caroline smiled brightly and asked, "Are you done watching the video, Ms. Mendeley?" Avery bit her lip, glancing at her mother. Lia was squinting at the surveillance video, but she hadn't noticed anything.Avery had no choice but to slow down the footage again. "Not yet. Let me watch it again."Caroline smiled slightly.At th

As expected, Ivan gave Caroline a look of appreciation after hearing her words.Upon seeing this, Avery angrily gripped the flesh of her thigh, wishing to rip the generosity from Caroline's expression.This ordeal had come to an end. The video continued to play, and soon they saw the moment when Caroline brushed past Avery.Charles slowed down the video, and everyone held their breath. In this video, Caroline didn't reach into Avery's bag at all.Lia was dumbfounded by what she saw. "What's going on? Did you tamper with the footage?"Caroline smirked. "You overestimate me, Mrs. Mendeley. I got this video from the restaurant that night, and I didn't do anything with it. You can check it out if you don't believe me."Kirk caressed Caroline's back languidly, saying playfully, "I think the truth is clear. Carrie didn't do anything."Avery was about to fall apart. She'd planned to use the surveillance footage to frame Caroline for being a thief and a vicious woman. Even if Kirk c
