"Damn, they're giving Caroline tons of privileges, aren't they?" "The first thing a large company like them did was welcome the design director. Oh my God. I'm starting to doubt the things I see on the internet." "The boss of this company is allegedly Mr. Eddy's second uncle. If Mr. Eddy and Caroline have broken up, there's no way his second uncle would give her such a big privilege, right?" "Exactly. That's why I'm doubting the authenticity of this post." The netizens were eating up the gossip from this particular post like a buffet. However, it caused an uproar among the upper-class citizens, especially the big four families, who had been kept in the dark about this.The company merger proved that Eddy's second uncle had already infiltrated Easton's market. However, none of them had noticed anything before this. Furthermore, the quick change in public opinion made them even more uncertain about whether Caroline would marry into the Morrison family. Another shocking thi

"Are you—""Carol!" Before Caroline finished her question, she heard Gwen's excited voice. Caroline looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing Gwen getting out of Sean's car, she asked, "Did you both come here together?""Yeah," Sean answered. "Congratulations, Ms. Evans."Caroline gave Gwen a vague glance and said to Sean, "Thank you, Dr. Yates, but you don't have to be so formal. Just call me Carrie from now on.""Carrie?" Kirk hummed from the side.After glancing at Kirk, Sean said, "I'd better call you Caroline. You don't have to be formal, either. You can just call me Sean.""Okay."As they talked, the four of them sat at a table. From time to time, Kirk would look down at his stool.Noticing his actions, Caroline asked, "What's wrong?"Kirk had been acting weird from the moment they'd arrived at the restaurant. Sean joked, saying, "Just ignore him. A rich man like him is lowering his dignity to dine in this open-air barbecue restaurant. It's normal for him to be un

At the convenience store, Caroline bought a few pieces of bread and a few bottles of water.Gwen asked her curiously, "Why are you buying water?" There were cold drinks at the barbecue restaurant.Caroline couldn't help but blush. "I want some regular water."Gwen sauntered to her, asking, "Is it for you, or are you buying it for Kirk?""It's for me, all right?" Caroline took another water bottle before asking Gwen, "What's going on between you and Sean?""Huh? Nothing!" Gwen felt a little sheepish. There really wasn't anything between her and Sean, so she had no clue why she was acting like this."Oh, really?" Caroline stared straight into Gwen's eyes, making the latter feel a little awkward."Carol, didn't I promise I wouldn't pursue him?"Caroline said, "If you really like him, I don't mind."Gwen waved her hand. "Forget it. Both his work and family are abroad. Who knows when he'll be leaving this place? Long distance relationships are too difficult."Her friend's words to

Early the next day, Caroline woke up. She hurriedly lifted the blanket, only to find her clothes intact. They … hadn't done anything last night."You're awake?"Caroline looked up and saw Kirk coming out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his hips. Cold water fell from his hair, dripping down his well-defined muscles before getting absorbed by the towel. The sight bewildered her. She answered, "Yeah."Kirk approached her and sat down on the bed, which dipped under his weight. His movements made Caroline's heart pound, and her face turned crimson.Kirk fiddled with Caroline's earlobes, saying, "You fell asleep last night.""Huh?" Caroline remembered what had happened last night. Kirk had left the room to answer the phone, and … she'd fallen asleep. Her face reddened even more as she apologized, saying, "I'm sorry!"Kirk pulled her into his arms, asking, "How do you plan to make it up to me?"Caroline quivered and said shyly, "C—close your eyes."Kirk listened

"Stop!" Caroline cried out, feeling the coldness of the hands gripping her. "I'll do it! I'll call him!"Upon seeing this, the two bodyguards looked at each other, unenthused. Then, they left the room unhappily.After finding out that Caroline had finally agreed to make the call, Brie walked into the room triumphantly. With a bright smile, she looked at Caroline, whose clothes had been torn into tatters. "See? You should've agreed sooner. Give her the phone."Caroline hugged herself tightly and didn't take the phone the bodyguard handed her."What's wrong? Did you change your mind?"Caroline sniffled. She looked at Brie, asking, "At least let me wear some clothes.""You're not trying to stall, are you?" Brie scoffed. "This is my family's territory. Never mind your husband; even Eddy would have a lot of trouble getting here. There's no point in stalling."Caroline smiled coldly, tears still in her eyes. "I just want some clothes. What are you afraid of?""Fine." Brie didn't ha
