If Caroline hadn’t said anything about signing a contract with Daphne, La wouldn’t have spent
25 million on her.
She could’ve simply taken advantage of her rtionship with Kirk to bind Daphne for just five
million a year.
“Caroline!” La roared and rushed forth to grab at Caroline’s neck.
Cheryl ran forward in an attempt to save Caroline, but thetter stopped her and nced around at
the surveince 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 La realize that they were on a filming set. If she got on the news for beating
Caroline up, she would drag her newpany down.
It would also affect her rtionship 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 dors,” she said through.
gritted teeth.
“Don’t you dare think that you can defeat Evanson just like this. Heed my words–as long as Eddy’s
with me, I can spend as much as I want.
“You’re the one who should worry about how much longer yourpany willst.”
“Besides,” La added. “No one wants to invest in yourpany. Evans Group will go bankrupt
one day.”
“Really?” Caroline had a smile on her face.
“We’ll see.” Then, she turned and asked Cheryl to follow her out of the filming site.
Cheryl finally managed to understand what had happened when they got in the car. Ignoring

fall into her trap.
After listening to the entire story, Jack couldn’t stop himself fromplimenting Caroline too. t
“Ms. Evans, this idea of yours is simply remarkable! Not only did you manage to make La suffer a
loss of 25 million dors, but she’ll probably stop asking anyone in Evans Group for information in the
future too!”
Caroline’s effort this time would prevent future trouble, for sure.
Now, Caroline was in a much better mood than before. “What do you guys want to eat? I’ll treat you to
a meal.”
Jack and Cheryl nced at each other for a moment.
Cheryl then asked, “Aren’t you going back home?” She remembered that Caroline would always return
home right after work.
However, the smile on Caroline’s face faltered this time. When she had worked at Thorne Corp, she

Jack and Cheryl stared at each other again. A momentter, Jack prodded, “Ms. Evans, did you and
Mr. Morrison get into a fight?”
“No.” Caroline denied it reflexively.
Cheryl said, “But you weren’t like this in the past.”
It made Caroline frown. “Have I … changed?”
“Yes. You were always so energetic back then,” Cheryl replied.
“But ever since you came back from Macovo, I only get to see this side of you when you’re
working. Sometimes, you’re in a daze, even at work. What’s wrong?”
Now, even Jack turned to look at Caroline His and Cheryl’s gaze bore into her, giving her the urge to
flee Tm fine. Let’s go and have dinner
That said, she opened the door and got out of the car.
Cheryl wanted to go after her but was stopped by Jack, who said, ‘Let me go after her.”
He rushed after Caroline. “Miss, I don’t know what’s happened between you and Mr. Morrison, but
