"K—Kirk? What are you doing here?" Kirk calmly pointed at a private dining room nearby. "I was supposed to meet a business partner, but he wasn't able to come today. I saw you when you came in, so I figured I'd drop by and say hi." Caroline let out a sigh of relief. For a second there, she'd actually thought that Kirk was Eddy's second uncle! What a relief! She'd barely regained her composure when her phone started ringing. She almost pounced on the table to answer the call. "Carrie." Jude's voice greeted her. "Your second uncle gave me a call just now. Something came up, and he won't be able to meet you today. He asked me to apologize to you on his behalf, but he promised to buy you a meal later to make up for it." Caroline quickly glanced at Kirk, who was standing outside the door. Compared to before, her gaze had turned dull. Tightly gripping her phone, she forced a smile as she said, "It's alright. Thanks, Grandpa!" Then, she hung up the phone silently. "Your date lef

Caroline couldn't be bothered to finish doing her nails. After letting Gwen know, she left.By the time Gwen went out after her, Caroline was long gone.Nervous, Caroline sped home. However, when she reached home, she found everyone sitting quietly in the living room. It looked as though there was nothing amiss at all."Didn't you say something happened?""If you didn't come home, something would have happened for sure." Sarah raised her head.Only then did Caroline notice the bottles in front of Sarah. They were black, so she couldn't tell what was inside."It's a pesticide."Sarah seemed to know what Caroline was thinking. She answered Caroline's question before she could ask it.Caroline was shocked. "What did you say?"Sarah picked up one of the bottles and walked unsteadily before Caroline. She dropped to her knees in front of her daughter."Carrie, I'm begging you. Get a divorce, please?""Mom, didn't I already say I wouldn't divorce him? Besides, the company has money

Caroline felt like she was having an out-of-body experience. She drifted through the streets aimlessly.In the past, her parents had said many hurtful things. Each time, she'd felt a stinging pain from it.This time, though, she felt nothing. In fact, she felt a little numb.It was as if … they were behaving like their true selves now.The affection they'd shown her in the past had only been due to her status as the future Mrs. Eddy Morrison. It was all because of the Morrison family. It wasn't because they were a family."Hey," Sean suddenly said to Kirk. He was resting in the back seat. "Isn't that your wife?"Kirk immediately opened his eyes and looked out the window.There was a young woman there. She looked dejected as she walked down the street alone. She seemed pitiful and helpless."Stop the car."Sean muffled a laugh and stopped the car."Hey, Ms. Evans!"Caroline whipped her head up. She quickly saw Kirk sitting at the back of the car. Her icy limbs immediately w

Caroline raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Didn't you just meet Kirk, Dr. Yates?"Neither Sean nor Kirk had a response to that.After a beat, Sean regained his ability to speak. "What I mean is … It means something special when a man says he wants to give a woman a home—""Shut up!" Kirk warned, his expression stern.Sean promptly closed his mouth."Ignore him. He likes talking nonsense."Caroline shook her head. "It's fine. Dr. Yates is a good conversationalist. But based on the way you interact, it doesn't seem like you two just met. You seem like old friends."Sean was stunned. He'd never expected someone as innocent as Caroline to be so observant. Hence, he didn't dare to say anything else during the ride.Soon, they arrived at their destination and got out of the car.The middleman had already arrived.When he saw them, he walked up. He said enthusiastically, "This way, please."The three of them followed the middleman into the villa.The villa was three stories tall. I

Caroline pushed Kirk away and turned her back on him. "Don't treat me so well."She would … Caroline's thoughts went wild. She couldn't help but feel a trace of hope in this world again. Kirk's eyes narrowed, and he clasped Caroline's shoulder. "What's with you today? Did someone wrong you while you were out?"Caroline seemed to be acting really differently today.She looked to one side and pushed herself to stop crying. She bit her lip forcefully. "We'll have to divorce at some point. I don't want there to be too much fuss when the time comes."The day she announced her marriage to Eddy would be the same day she divorced Kirk.Then, Kirk would be able to find the owner of that lipstick. As for her, she would leave this world with no more attachments.After all, no one wanted her.Kirk's brows were tightly furrowed. There was a ball of rage in his chest. He stared after Caroline, his gaze nearly piercing through her.Sean noticed their exchange and walked over. "What are yo

Gwen was sharp enough to notice there was something wrong with her best friend. She held Caroline's hand and said, "Of course that's fine. You can stay as long as you want. Let's go then."Caroline and Gwen got into the car.Gwen drove slowly and kept shooting glances at Caroline.Meanwhile, Caroline stared out the window vacantly. She looked like a broken porcelain doll.Gwen felt her heart ache as she looked at Caroline. "Carol, why did your dad want you home so urgently? What happened?"Caroline looked over and smiled softly. "They want me to marry Eddy."Gwen was stupefied. "Why do they insist on having you marry that douchebag?""Because they want the Morrison family's help in taking the Evans family back to the top." Caroline's voice was neutral, as if she were talking about someone else's affairs.The way she behaved made Gwen even more pained. "You didn't agree, did you?""I did."Gwen abruptly braked. "Carol, are you nuts?"Caroline chuckled. "If I hadn't agreed, wa

Brie stepped out of the car in her high heels as the crowd watched in anticipation.She wore a black evening gown. It was cut close to her body, showing off her curvaceous figure. As she walked, her fair feet flitted in and out of sight at the slit of her dress. She looked elegant and proper.Someone couldn't help but comment in a low voice, "My God, is this the same nouveau riche young lady I remember?""How well Brie is showing off her assets! And what a figure she has!""When did her taste in fashion become so good?"When Brie heard these comments and more, she smiled in satisfaction.This was the exact reaction she'd been aiming for.For the past few days, she'd been practicing her posture every day. She'd picked out this dress and make-up to let everyone know that she was even more proper and sophisticated than Caroline!She happily picked up the pen. Just as she was about to sign her name in the guest book, there was a huge commotion behind her.Brie frowned. When she tu

Caroline ignored Eddy's gaze. She smiled. "Mr. Morrison, you have such a poor memory. Grandpa has always saved me a seat at this table."Calling Eddy Mr. Morrison pulled the distance between them even further.Eddy pressed a hand to his forehead. He hated Caroline calling him that. In his memory, she'd always called him Eddy.Layla coughed a few times. This attracted Eddy's gaze. "What is it? Are you unwell? Should I send you home first?"Layla shook her head with difficulty. A malicious light flashed in her eyes. She was showing off that Eddy was worried about her.Caroline had long become immune to her actions. She was about to leave when Layla said, "Today is Grandpa's birthday. I'd like to stay. Caroline, you won't make me leave, right?"Caroline turned her head. Before she could say anything, Jude said without mercy, "I never invited you."Eddy stood before Layla. "Grandpa, Layla means well. How could you talk to her like that?"When Caroline saw this, she remembered the f
