“That explains why Caroline cut them out of her life. If it were me, I would’ve moved to another country Immediately!”
“I feel so bad for Caroline. Now I understand why she married an ordinary person. When you have crazy parents, one of the best ways to get them out of your life is to get married.”
“That’s right! Even though her husband is an ordinary person, at least he won’t harm her!”
Netizens weren’t the only ones who expressed compassion for Caroline.
Everyone in the office also looked at Caroline sympathetically. They hadn’t expected things to turn out like this.
Realizing that the atmosphere in the office had changed, Vivian panicked. She grabbed Susan’s phone and read the post. When she was done, she looked at Caroline with a pale face. “No!”
Layla also read the post on Facebook, and her expression was dark.
She said grimly, “You’re really amazing. Caroline. You hired Star King PR to handle your case. They can clear the name of even the most
scandalous celebrities.”
Caroline chuckled. “You know better than anyone whether all this is true.”
Layla was shocked. Looking at Caroline’s gaze, she had a feeling the latter knew something.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. But Aunt Sarah and Uncle Dan are still your parents. Even if they did something wrong, you
shouldn’t…”
Caroline leaned over and whispered in Layla’s ear, “They won’t be my parents much longer!”
Layla froze again, looking at Caroline in disbelief. She felt as If she had fallen into a trap Caroline had carefully set up.
Caroline straightened up with a smile and asked Jules, “Mr. Hawkins, what are you doing in the design department?”
Jules gave Layla a glance, then turned to Caroline with a smile. “Nothing important. I’m just here to tell you about an international design contest called the Rosebow Contest. Have you heard about it?”
Caroline shook her head and walked into her office with Jules.
Vivian dug her nails into her palms as she watched them leave. “It seems that your plan has failed, Ms. Layla!”
Layla’s face darkened. She declared, “It’s not over yet.” With that, she stormed off.
Vivian glanced toward Caroline’s office before storming away with a huff.
Everyone in the office looked at each other briefly, then hurriedly got back to work. They were afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
In Caroline’s office, Jules briefly explained the details of the Rosebow Contest to her. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
It was a design contest run by women in the design industry. Both the competitors and the judges had be women. It was a competition made by women, for women.
“Getting a ranking in this contest will give you a boost in your career, Caroline. After all, the Rosebow Contest plays an important role in the design industry. After winning an award, you may be included in the list of experts. How about it? Are you interested in participating?”
Caroline considered the offer for a moment but still refused. “I’m really tempted to join, but I may not plan to advance my career in design anymore.”
Jules was surprised to hear that. “Caroline, are you-”
“I’m going back to run my company.”
Jules said in surprise, “You’re talking about Evans Group.”
“That’s right.” Caroline didn’t say anything else. She got up and sald, “By the way, I have to thank you, Mr. Hawkins.”
“For what?” Jules asked in confusion.
