Eddy's expression shifted upon hearing Layla's request. "What did you say?"He was happy to help Caroline and endorse her. Indeed, Caroline had proved that she was capable of managing. But he had severe doubts about Layla.Eddy recalled the last deal that had resulted in a loss and his eyebrows scrunched up tightly. "NO way! I can agree to anything else, but never this. Do you know how much effort it takes to manage such a big company? Have you already forgotten what happened with the Evanson Corporation?""Eddy." Layla's hands clenched into fists. She would always feel hurt when it came to that matter. "Of course I know. That's why I'll hand the Collins Group over to someone else to manage once I get it."She clarified, "Eddy, I don't want this because of the Collins Group's position among the top four. I want it because I need insurance. Without you, I don't know how I'm supposed to survive."Eddy frowned even harder, but he could not back down on this.If he helped Layla acqui

The man nodded. "That's right."Caroline walked to the door impatiently. She spotted the man turning onto the hallway right away. The man was wearing a coat, his figure tall and straight. He looked just as she remembered.Caroline was overjoyed as she looked at the man's face. He had very regular features, which were far from what Caroline had imagined. She'd thought that the man with such a great figure would have a face that blew people away. A face like Kirk's."Unc …" Caroline trailed off. As she watched "Kirk Morrison" approach her, she gave it some thought and changed her mind. "Mr. Morrison.""Kirk" looked at Caroline's face, a bit fearful of doing so but having no choice. "Hello."The two of them entered the private room and sat down.Caroline sat opposite "Kirk". She couldn't help but feel that he was completely different from the man she had once seen."Mr. Morrison, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me." The anticipation that she had

"No wonder Eddy has allowed Layla to do whatever she wants all these years. So it's because of this," Gwen continued. "Even so, he shouldn't be so cruel to you just because Layla saved him." Gwen always remembered how Eddy treated Caroline in those eight years. Plus, there was the matter of Layla faking her illness and wanting Caroline's kidneys.Cheryl asked worriedly, "Now that Mr. Eddy is getting involved in this personally, does this mean the Collins Group will end up in Layla's hands? She must still hate us after we caused the Evanson Corporation's failure last time. The first thing she'll do after getting the Collins Group will be to take revenge on the Evans Group."Things would be totally different then. In the past, the Evanson Corporation was just a small entity. With the Collins Group in her possession, Layla would have a lot of power. If she wanted it, squashing a business she disliked would be as easy as squashing an ant. Caroline had yet to tell anyone that Eddy's s

Seeing how things were online, Layla was overjoyed. She picked up an apple and bit into it. "Aunt Sarah, Uncle Dan, you must prepare the evidence. Once I get the Collins Group, you must immediately announce that Caroline isn't your daughter."Sarah and Dan couldn't believe that Layla had actually gotten Eddy to come forward and announce his support of her. That meant that the Collins Group was definitely going to be Layla's.Could it be that no one in this world was more influential than Eddy Morrison?"Don't worry." Dan smiled. "Layla, once you successfully acquire the Collins Group, I will announce that Caroline isn't my daughter. When the time comes, we'll be celebrating two happy events. Won't that be nice?""Good. I'm relieved."Right then, Layla was not the slightest bit worried about purchasing the Collins Group. What worried her more was Dan going back on his word. She would be assured the position of Eddy's wife if Dan stuck to the agreement.Meanwhile, Caroline didn't

Caroline felt like she had lost something very important to her."Alright then," Caroline said. "Then let's see each other tonight.""Great."After Marietta ended the call, Caroline put her phone down dejectedly. Actually, she had gotten the feeling long ago that Marietta would leave Easton. She never expected her to leave so soon.She sent Kirk a message and immediately got a reply. His text made Caroline frown in pain. The scene of Jude before he died floated in her mind. Grandpa had died because of her. She had been haunted by this all this while. This and Jude's final wish were etched deeply in Caroline's heart.If she and Kirk weren't together, she definitely would have gone along with Jude's dying wish and married Eddy. It didn't matter to her if she lived the rest of her life like a puppet on a string.However, she now had Kirk, and there was no way she was going to abandon him. It wouldn't be fair to Kirk.Once again, Caroline let out a deep sigh.Even if … Even if
