    “It proves just how good he is at his job. So, what did you make for us today?” Kirk changed the topic


    so wlessly that Caroline did not notice it and went ahead introducing the food she made.


    Kirk volunteered to do the dishes after enjoying the scrumptious food she prepared. Caroline had


    nothing to do, so she took out herputer and searched for a movie to watch.


    She picked aedy andpletely forgot that another human being was present in her home as she


    indulged herself in the movie. When Kirk emerged from the kitchen, he was greeted by the sight of


    Caroline sitting on the carpet in an udylike fashion,ughing her head off. In that instant, she did not


    look like the elegant and poised Ms. Evans that she usually appeared to be.


    Abruptly, Kirk was reminded of the time when Caroline was still Eddy Morrison’s fiancée. He once


    flipped through an album of young Caroline attending events held by the Morrisons. She had always


    looked prim and proper in those pictures, as though she was a puppet guided by strings. There had


    been no liveliness or vigor in her at all.


    Right here and right now, though, he felt that she was actually alive. He simply stood and watched her


    quietly, enjoying the silent moment of happiness and warmth that he had never experienced before.


    Caroline’s phone rang, interrupting the moment of tranquility. She nced at her phone on the table


    and scowled. It was Sarah White.


    …


    Her parents had not contacted her since they quarreled a while back. It was as if they had never had


    her as their daughter. Regardless, they were her parents, and as cruel as she wanted to be, she could


    not bear to ignore them. She answered the call and epted her fate.


    “Caroline!” Sarah was livid with fury. “Why haven’t you gotten a divorce yet?”


    Yesterday, she just happened to meet Eddy Morrison when visiting La. He had always treated her


    with contempt, and this time, he greeted her withints about how she failed to bring up her


    daughter well.


    Initially, Sarah was confused by it all. Sheter learned from his bodyguard that he went to the City Hall


    several days ago only to find out that Caroline was already married. He even thought of using his


    family’s influence to force the staff there into annulling her marriage so


    that he could register his marriage with her. However, they failed to uncover the identity of the person


    she was married to, so his n hit a


    dead end.


    Then La was kicked out of the hospital under some mysterious person’s order, and the CCTV


    footage of Caroline’s surgery was all destroyed. Even the staff who had met her husband resigned from


    their jobs and vanished without a trace. Everything was so messed up,


    and Eddy was overwhelmed with frustration. That was why he lost his temper with her.


    Sarah called Caroline the moment she reached home after finding out about the matter.


    Caroline lowered the volume on herputer before she spoke. “Mom, my kidney type and La’s


    don’t even match.”


    “Of course, you don’t match …” Sarah trailed off, and as if something struck her, she took a deep


    breath. In a soft voice, she said, “Carrie, I’m your mother. Do you really think that I’d cause you harm?


    Go get divorced and marry Eddy. This is your only way out.”


    Caroline replied, “Mom, do you know I almost died during the surgery? They didn’t want my kidney in


    exchange for getting married; they


    wanted me dead! Only when I’m dead can they two be together!”


    Sarah paled. “What?”


    “La said it herself.” Now that she was talking it, Caroline could not stop herself from shuddering in


    fear. “Mom, if I went for the surgery. I’d no doubt die. If I live, our family might get a chance at bing


    one of the four major families again.”


    Kirk passed Caroline a ss of water. Caroline took a sip from it and felt a lot better, but her mother


    drawled on and on. “Carrie, you must marry Eddy. And you must seize the position as the young Mrs.


    Morrison even if it means death. Only then will the Morrisons continue helping us Evans to regain our


    glory.”


    The ss in Caroline’s hand radiated warmth, but her hands were cold as ever. Abruptly, her phone


    was plucked away from her grasp. Looking up, she saw Kirk putting it to his ear.
