    Chapter 146


    The woman stared nkly at Kirk, who stood nearby, and her eyes turned red again. She put her


    head down and ran away.


    Caroline silently watched the woman run away.


    “What’s wrong?” Kirk had already finished his call. When he saw the employee running away, a sharp


    glint appeared in his eyes.

    Caroline touched her face. “Do I look scary today?” Why had the woman cried after just a brief


    conversation with her?


    Kirk lowered his head and carefully looked at the makeup on Caroline’s face. After a moment, he


    smiled and kissed her lips. “Not at all. In fact, you look adorable.”


    Caroline pushed him away with a blush. “Cool it. Why did Dad call you?”


    The smile on Kirk’s face disappeared. He said, “I don’t know. He said he’ll exin after we head


    there”


    “Let’s go,” Caroline said.


    “Okay.”


    The two went to Ivan’s home. As soon as they walked through the door, they saw Avery sitting on


    the couch with a pale face. There was still a red mark on her face, courtesy of Caroline’s p a few


    days ago.


    When Avery saw Caroline and Kirk, she looked up at them listlessly, tears welling in her eyes.


    Lia’s heart broke seeing her daughter like this. She didn’t think that Caroline was even human


    anymore.


    “Dad,” Caroline said, greeting Ivan.


    Ivan looked up at Caroline, and the smile on his face disappeared. “Come here, Caroline. I have


    something to ask you.”


    Caroline walked over to him.


    Ivan asked, “Let me ask you, did you leak Avery’s drafts for the game concept?”


    Caroline blinked. Even though she understood every word he spoke, when she strung them


    together, she couldn’t understand at all


    “What are you talking about, Dad?”


    I can’t believe you’re still feigning ignorance. Lia loved her daughter dearly, so she couldn’t resist


    standing up for her


    Then, she said, “Because of you, Avery lost her job, and the entire gaming industry cklisted her How


    can you be so cruel? What did Avery ever do to you? When she found out you wereing, she


    busied herself and handled all the arrangements How could you betray her efforts like this?”


    Caroline remained calm. “I really have no idea what you’re talking about.”


    Kirk gently pulled Caroline to sit on the couch Raising his chin slightly, he said in a calm tone, You guys


    aren’t making sense right now. What on earth happened?”


    Lia took a deep breath and pushed Avery She urged, “Avery, tell Kirk about your situation. I’m


    sure he won’t take sides.”


    Avery sniffled “Forget it, Mom. It’s already happened. The entire industry has already cklisted me,


    and I’ll never find a job in this field again… There’s no point talking about it now.”


    By the end, she was so ovee with emotions that she could barely speak.


    Lia’s heart shattered when she saw this. She hugged Avery and cried.


    “Oh, Avery I know how much you love the gaming industry. Those who hurt you must pay the price for


    their actions. That’s the way it should be.”


    Kirk was so annoyed by the crying that he unbuttoned his cor. “If you’re not going to talk, we’re going


    to leave.” After that, he held Caroline’s waist and turned to leave.
