Chapter 225

Kirk looked at Caroline, feeling bad for her. But he had to let her go. If he wanted to keep Caroline by his side, he had to make her stronger.

In this world, only love between two equal people could last.

Kirk kissed her forehead and asked. “When all of this is over, I’ll buy you a gift. It can be whatever you want.”

Caroline thought for a moment before saying, “I haven’t thought of what I want yet. I’ll let you know when I do.”

“Okay.”

Caroline left her house with a smile. As soon as she reached the door, she put on a mask and frowned as if she were really sad.

When Kirk saw her actions from the window, he wanted to chuckle.

As Caroline approached the car, she noticed two other cars parked behind Jack’s. She got into the car cautiously and asked Jack, “Mr. Jack, why are there two cars behind us?”

Jack was getting better at lying now. He said smoothly. “The company saw many people slandering you online. They were worried about your safety, so they sent some bodyguards to protect you.”

Caroline was moved. The people at Thorne Corporation were too thoughtful.

However, she was still very cautious and looked around occasionally to see if there was anything unusual.

She had heard that skilled paparazzi could find where the person they were looking for lived just by seeing a photo of a tiny portion of the house.

Although Caroline didn’t like posting photos on social media, she was worried that the paparazzi would find this villa. She didn’t want it to affect Kirk’s sense of security.

Jack knew what Caroline was thinking and said, “You don’t have to be so cautious, Ms. Evans. No one will find this place.”

“Why?”

Jack wanted to tell her that Howard’s people hadn’t been able to find this place even after following them for half a month.

However, when he remembered Kirk’s many warnings to be cautious around Caroline, he paused and said, “The security here is top–notch. Even if the paparazzi find this palace, they won’t be able to enter.”

Caroline thought his words made sense. So she decided to close her eyes and rest in the car.

Jack breathed a sigh of relief. Neither of them talked further during the drive.

Caroline woke up when she was about to arrive at Thorne Corporation. She immediately saw people crowded at the entrance of the building.

There were a bunch of reporters and people who had come to watch the show.

Just as Caroline was about to get out of the car, Jack stopped her. “Please wait a moment, Ms. Evans.”

Caroline looked at Jack curiously. Just then, the car door opened. She was surprised to see a strong bodyguard standing outside the car, wearing sunglasses.

“You can go now, Ms. Evans,” Jack said, pulling her from her thoughts.

Just as she was about to leave the car, the reporters and onlookers spotted her and rushed over.

The bodyguards from the two cars behind them formed a circle around Caroline.

Despite that, the reporters frantically snapped pictures and pointed their microphones at Caroline.

“Ms. Evans, do you have any comments about your parents‘ accusations?”

“You’ve supposedly cut ties with your family since you got married. Can you explain why you did this?” “Ms. Evans, you know that one should

Seeing that she was about to walk into the building, the crowd tossed several water bottles at her. Noticing this, the bodyguards quickly raised their hands to block them.

Caroline paused in her tracks and pulled the bodyguard In front of her. “Don’t block them.”

The bodyguard froze for a moment, allowing one of the water bottles to hit Caroline on the head.

The water bottle was light and emply, so it didn’t hurt at all. But she still covered her head with a pained expression on her face.

Although all this happened very quickly, many reporters managed to film it. Soon, this clip spread all over the Internet.

“Good job! You people threw that bottle well! Make her whine in pain! Why can’t that bottle be a stone? If it were, the world would be rid of an unsightly thing like her!”

“I feel bad for Sarah and Dan. They devoted themselves to raising Caroline, but they ended up raising a snake.”

“It’s terrible. If my daughter were to abandon me like this, I would be so mad!”

“Seeing how she can still go to work, she doesn’t seem affected by this. I feel so bad for Sarah and Dan for having such an ungrateful daughter!”

No matter how vicious the comments online were, Caroline didn’t care because she hadn’t read any of them.

After entering the elevator, Caroline went straight to the design department. As soon as she walked in, she saw everyone looking at her.

Some looked at her gloatingly, while others looked at her with disgust. As always, she wasn’t afraid because her conscience was clear.

When Caroline walked by Vivian’s office, someone stopped her. “Caroline.”

Caroline could immediately tell that the voice belonged to Layla. She turned around, and sure enough, Layla was in Vivian’s office.

Layla got up from the couch. Noticing Caroline covering her forehead, she smiled slightly. “Oh, no. You’re hurt.”

Caroline asked, “Isn’t this what you want?”

Layla said innocently, “Caroline, why why would I want that?”

Caroline turned away and walked to her office.

Layla followed behind her. She said, “Aunt Sarah and Uncle Dan have already told me. As long as you apologize, all of this will be over.”

Her voice wasn’t too loud. It was just enough for everyone in the office to hear her. Her words basically confirmed that Caroline was an unfilial daughter.

Caroline paused in her tracks and looked back at Layla. She asked, “Weren’t you so sick that you needed a kidney transplant to survive? Why are you up and around right now?”

Layla replied casually, “It’s all thanks to you sending me to jail. I met an impressive doctor there who cured my illness.”

She discreetly listed another one of Caroline’s crimes. Those who didn’t know the truth would only think that Caroline was cruel and merciless to even her relatives.

Sure enough, Susan, who had followed Layla out, said exaggeratedly, “Goodness. Caroline! I can’t believe you’d be so cruel as to send your relatives to jail. How terrifying! Not even the renowned Brittany Emerson can save you from this.”

“Once a traitor, always a traitor,” Vivan sneered.

“She could even betray her own family. Who knows? She may even betray us, her colleagues.” Vivian’s words made everyone in the office shudder.

Layla smirked slightly before defending her. “Come on, don’t talk about her like that. Caroline just went down the wrong path, I’m sure she’ll realize her mistake soon. Right, Caroline?”

She looked at Caroline with innocent eyes.
