In the next instant, a large pair of hands gripped Caroline's wrists. The coldness they brought frightened her.The mask fell back lightly onto Kirk's face. Caroline withdrew her hand and stared at him anxiously. "You weren't asleep?" she asked. "No, it's not that." Kirk straightened his back and put some distance between them. Despite his efforts to appear indifferent, she still managed to sense that there was something off about him. "How did you know that someone was close then?"Under the mask, Kirk's eyes met Caroline's briefly. She gave off a faint scent. He never failed to recognize it when she approached him. At first, he had assumed that it was his imagination because he missed her too much. It was only when her hand had touched his mask that he had snapped wide awake. "How did you come out here?" Kirk tried to divert her attention from the topic. "I …" Caroline faltered. She was unable to come up with an answer when she noticed that he was trying to distan

It was said to be a gathering, but in truth, Marietta had organized it to introduce her daughter to others. Marietta's friends came from wealthy and noble backgrounds, so Yvonne thought that it would work to her advantage if she could get to know some of them.Poor Marietta was being used to Yvonne's advantage like this. In the past, she couldn't care less about things like this.Now, she had to repeatedly draw on the resources and network she had accumulated over the past few decades, just for Yvonne.As this thought crossed Betty's mind, she couldn't help but realize that she liked Caroline even more. Caroline was completely different from the conceited and pampered Yvonne. In fact, she was way too humble. Nobody would have known who she was if Betty hadn't invited some of her friends to a gathering some time ago and introduced them. Besides, Caroline never made life difficult for anyone by telling other people that she was the Yates family's guest. It was clear why Kirk l

To be honest, Katie was good-looking enough to claim the spotlight, even among a group of pretty women. The fact that she could attend a seminar like this and have a seat on the stage at such a young age said enough about her intelligence and skills. If it hadn't been for the unbridled hatred in Katie's eyes, Gwen would have thought they could be good friends. "I'm going up there then," Sean said as he took off his suit jacket and draped it across Gwen's shoulders. By doing so, he managed to stop some of the indecent and malicious stares Gwen seemed to have garnered. "Be good, and wait for me." Gwen nodded, and before she could react, Sean leaned in and pecked her on the lips. Needless to say, Gwen was flabbergasted. She wasn't a conservative person, but she failed to comprehend why he would kiss her in public like that. It seemed as if he had done it on purpose. After giving her that peck on the lips, Sean rushed off in fear that she would get mad at him. After all, he k

Caroline turned and headed upstairs to the second floor. She had only taken a few steps when she stopped and turned to look at the door. She did the same thing quite a few times before she finally returned to her room. Even as she sat in front of her laptop, she couldn't stop herself from glancing at the window. She knew that the familiar car wasn't parked outside, but she just couldn't let go of the hope in her heart. Frustrated, she shut down her laptop, stood up, and walked to the balcony. She could see lots of cars passing by, but none of them was the one she wished to see. She stayed there for a long time, staring down at the road below. Finally, her phone's ringtone snapped her out of her daze and back into reality. She walked back into her room to see that the call was from an unknown number. Without thinking twice, she declined it right away. However, soon after she did that, she received a text message from the same person. The message read, "Mr. Y's in danger.

At the venue of the medical seminar, Gwen was so unaccustomed to places like this where academics were the heart and soul of the event. She quickly gulped some water to calm herself down when Sean went to the washroom. She had barely taken a sip of water when someone took the seat beside her. It was supposed to be Sean's seat.Needless to say, she was pretty displeased when she turned to see the woman sitting in front of her. It was Katie. Katie reached out a hand to Gwen and said, "Hi. I haven't introduced myself. The name's Katie. I'm Solomon Emberly's daughter."Gwen hid the displeasure in her eyes and said, "Pleased to meet you. I'm Gwen Jameson." "I know you." Katie fell silent afterward, waiting for Gwen to continue the conversation. To her chagrin, Gwen didn't continue. In fact, the latter even looked away. "Gwen Jameson!" Katie sounded harsh all of a sudden. It was as if she was interrogating a criminal. Unhappy with Katie's tone, Gwen knitted her brows togethe
