The staff member left to bring Caroline in. Daphne asked Layla, "Do you want to stay out of her sight?""No. I want her to know that I'm here. I want to see her expression when she sees me here." This time, she would surely get the chance to see it for herself. Daphne had already made a promise to sign the contract with Layla, so she wouldn't go back on her word. Caroline was busy going through Sonia's information when she heard the noise of a brawl coming from somewhere near her. She looked up to see a slender figure being lifted into the air with suspension wires. Soon, a few others followed suit, and they all got into a fight. All of them were agile, and the young woman who led them was especially nimble despite her small stature. Her fighting style was firm yet elegant, as though she were dancing away in a battle. It was aesthetically pleasing and practical at the same time. Watching her moves, Caroline couldn't help but ask one of the staff members, "Who's that body do

If Caroline hadn't said anything about signing a contract with Daphne, Layla wouldn't have spent 25 million on her. She could've simply taken advantage of her relationship with Kirk to bind Daphne for just five million a year. "Caroline!" Layla roared and rushed forth to grab at Caroline's neck. Cheryl ran forward in an attempt to save Caroline, but the latter stopped her and glanced around at the surveillance cameras around them."There are so many cameras around," Caroline said smilingly. "The paparazzi would be very pleased to see you beat me up, don't you think?"Only then did Layla realize that they were on a filming set. If she got on the news for beating Caroline up, she would drag her new company down. It would also affect her relationship with Eddy, which she had so painstakingly managed to mend not long ago. Slowly and begrudgingly, she let go of Caroline. "It's just 25 million dollars," she said through gritted teeth. "Don't you dare think that you can defeat

Caroline took a deep breath and told herself that it was all a lie. The person who had accused Kirk of marrying other women had lied to her. Even though she had reached this conclusion, it somehow made her shudder in fear of the unknown. She couldn't understand why someone would do something like that. Kirk was just an ordinary guy, after all. At most, he had a small company of his own. Even then, his father had founded the company, and Kirk was merely in charge of taking care of it. Kirk told her before that it was just a small company, and she believed it. If it had been a huge business, he could have simply taken over the company and wouldn't have needed to go out to work. Therefore, she was certain that Kirk was only an ordinary, white-collar worker. He was like a tiny fish in the ocean here in Easton. If that person had indeed lied, why had they made Kirk their target? The thought made Caroline waver. "You're back." Kirk's voice sounded from the kitchen. There was

After getting ready, Caroline walked out of the bathroom to see Kirk still asleep. Sighing in relief, she went downstairs, started her car, and drove to work. Oblivious to her, Kirk was standing by the window and behind the blinds on the second floor when she entered the garage. He silently watched her leave. Exhausted, he massaged his temples and went back to sit on the edge of the bed. Helplessness washed over him, and it weighed on his heart and mind. He wanted to do something to change this but found that he couldn't do anything at all. In the end, he picked up his phone and called Charles. "Sir," Charles chirped. He knew fairly well that Kirk had been in a foul mood for the past few days, so he had been preparing himself to receive his next orders. Hence, he had been able to wake up right away when he heard his phone ring. "Did you manage to find out anything?" Kirk's voice was dangerously low, to the point that Charles forcefully stopped himself from yawning. "The

George fretted over it so much that he tossed away the documents in his hands and rushed out to go after Luke. However, Gavin called out, "Stop right there!" "Gavin, this is our final chance! If we don't withdraw our funds, we'll surely lose everything we have!" "We can't backstab her at a moment like this!"Business and morality are two different things. You can't just give up on our business just because you want to show how loyal you are to someone!" George exclaimed. The scowl on Gavin's face deepened. He waved his hand. His mind was made up. "I've decided. Listen up; if you dare to withdraw the funds, I'll cut ties with you!" His tone made it clear that he wasn't going to relent. Seeing how determined Gavin was, George stormed out of the office, clearly pissed. Gavin spun in his chair so that his back faced the door. He then shook his head helplessly at George's antics. He wouldn't betray Caroline now, even if it meant losing money. …In a restaurant, Caroline sat
