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

Layla trembled all over. When she flitted her eyes to Eddy for help, she saw Jude's frosty gaze. Her heart sank in an instant. "Were you really thinking of coveting your cousin-in-law?" Jude frowned. There was no longer any trace of a smile on his face. Layla panicked at once and hurriedly explained, "N—No. Mr. Morrison Senior, I didn't ...""Make an oath, then."Layla bit her lip. Under everyone's intense gazes, she said slowly, "Okay. I, Layla Evans, swear that if I ever get married to my cousin-in-law one day, I'll get knocked down by a car when I go out." As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her head and stared at Caroline maliciously. Caroline crinkled her mouth into a faint smile. Since Layla wanted her to die, then she would make Layla unable to marry Eddy for the rest of her life. Even if Layla managed to get married to him in the future, she would have to live in fear every day because of her oath."With this oath binding you, I believe you won't go astray. To

Kirk's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Oh?"Eddy scratched his head. The more he looked at the tie, the more familiar it seemed. However, he just couldn't recall where he'd seen it. He then sat down at the side and said, "Perhaps someone else wore the same one before."Kirk's tensed shoulders slumped down as he hummed in response nonchalantly. Eddy took another sip of the beer, having regained his composure. "Are you going out, Uncle Kirk?" Sparing a glance at Caroline on the screen, Kirk rubbed the spot in between his brows. "Nah, it's more interesting to observe the situation secretly."Eddy nodded. "Then I'll go out first." His temples began to throb at the thought of having a meal with Caroline at the same table. …In the banquet hall, Caroline was chatting happily with Jude, and they appeared even closer than biological relatives.When the other Morrisons saw that, they immediately came and flattered them. "Ms. Evans, you're so good at making Mr. Morrison Senior happy.

"What a shameless bitch! How dare she seduce Eddy in front of so many people!" Layla cursed inwardly.However, when she thought about how Caroline would soon die on the operating table, Layla gradually calmed herself down.At the head table, Caroline withdrew her gaze and leaned slightly to the back. "Since you don't want to tell me, forget it, then."She could just ask the staff here. Someone would definitely know where Kirk was. Seeing how indifferent she was, Eddy felt triggered. Why couldn't she please him when she could do so for everyone else?Just as Eddy was about to lose his cool, he saw Brie coming over with a glass of red wine. She shot him a smile and then looked toward Caroline. All this time, Brie had been thinking of ways to regain the spotlight after being overshadowed by Caroline earlier at the entrance. She'd inquired about Caroline's present for Jude earlier and found that it was a painting worth one million dollars. She'd immediately thought of how to humi

"Show it to us, then." Brie signaled at the staff member. The staff member didn't move and looked at Jude. Jude waved his hand. "Go ahead. I'd like to see Carrie's gift for me too."Only then did the staff member step away and bring the poster tube over.Upon unfolding it, they found that it was a piece of art done by Zach Zimmer, who wasn't well-known in the industry. If Brie hadn't bid on the painting out of spite, she wouldn't have known about such an artist.Seeing it at this moment, Brie curled her lips into a contemptuous smile. She pointed at the painting disdainfully and said, "Caroline, is this what you've prepared today? Look at its quality. It's not even on par with Mr. Morrison Senior's status. Don't you feel bad when he's done nothing but dote on you?" Hearing what she said, the others also started to whisper about it. "So much for doting on her, but in the end she gifted him a painting that was done by a nobody." "No wonder Mr. Eddy doesn't like her. She may

The butler approached Jude discreetly. "Mr. Morrison Senior, seeing that the antique vase is rare and precious, should we send it home for safekeeping purposes?"It was a sound suggestion, so Jude complied. "Have someone send it back at once."Jude didn't press further. Caroline let out a sigh of relief and looked at the butler gratefully. The butler merely nodded at her before returning to the task at hand.Meanwhile, the others jumped on the occasion to coddle Jude."What a fine addition to your collection, Mr. Morrison Senior.""How thoughtful of Ms. Evans.""I know, right? Mr. Morrison Senior is so lucky to have a future daughter-in-law like her."Jude was overjoyed to hear these compliments. Brie, who'd been eager to make a toast to Jude, was pushed out of the way by the crowd. Her face was twitching because everyone flocked toward Caroline. She admitted that Caroline was more beautiful than her, but how was Caroline wealthier than her too? How dare she?Brie took anot
