Farewell To My Endless Love

Caroline's POV:

Reading the trending topics about Raina put me in a good mood.

"Elena, get ready. We'll be going back to the company to work later."

Once we had returned to the company, Elena began to report the current progress of the work. "The promotional video that Sofia starred in has made the east coast project a lot more popular," she said. "I've seen that ad. It's quite good," I replied, nodding in approval.

"Ma'am, the day you were kidnapped, Mr. Moore sent his men to stop Adam. Because of the Moore Group's protection, the disturbance at the groundbreaking ceremony was arrested before the situation could escalate," Elena continued.

I breathed a sigh of relief, yet somehow still felt conflicted.

'If it weren't for Charles, Adam would've ruined the groundbreaking ceremony. And if that happened, things would become irreparable for me. But why did it have to be Charles who helped me? I'm owing him more and more. How am I supposed to pay him back now?' I wondered.

After finishing up at work, I left my office to look for Victoria.

The moment Victoria saw me, she suddenly put away something in her hand and was visibly panicking.

"Miss Wilson, what can I do for you?"

"Take it out," I commanded.

After a moment of hesitation, Victoria relented and took out a magazine.

I skimmed through a few pages and saw that they were all about me.

Each article accused me of murdering Susan. In the articles, they claimed that I didn't deserve to be the CEO of the Wilson Group.

My face turned grim and I scoffed.

'I already know who would throw such baseless accusations at me. But unfortunately, no conclusive evidence has been found yet. However, I am going to remember this. No matter the cost, I'll find evidence to prove that Adam did this!'

"Miss Wilson, the stock price of our company may be stabilizing, but rumors about you still run rampant," Victoria remarked.

"What else happened while I was away?" I asked. After a moment of pondering, Victoria answered, "Vanessa Lewis decided to cease cooperation with the Wilson Group anymore, but Mr. Felix is currently trying to convince her to continue working with us."

"I see. You can get back to work." I put down the magazine, and went back to my office.

"Ma'am, Mr. Felix is here. He says he wants to see you," Elena said the second she came in.

I nodded at her. "Call him in."

Not long after, Simon came in wearing a smirk.

"Ah, Caroline! So, you've decided to go back to work, huh? Is that really okay? Don't you need to rest more?"

I nodded at him and motioned for him to sit down.

"I've heard that Vanessa wants to terminate the contract, and that you went to see her," I asked. "Yep, I did. I tried convincing her to continue working with us, and she said that she'd think about it," Simon replied.

"Thank you, Simon. No matter what she requests, do it as long as she doesn't cross any boundaries."

I rubbed between my eyebrows, feeling a little exhausted.

Simon decided to change the topic. "So, uh... have you been resting well these days, Caroline? Do you feel better now?"

When I saw the concern in his eyes, I somehow felt upset.

"Much better. Thank you for your concern."

Just then, the door of my office was pushed open.

I glanced over at the door and saw Vanessa coming in.

She sat next to Simon and greeted me with a smile.

Surprised by her appearance, I said, "It's really nice to see you here, Miss Lewis."

"I'm here to discuss the cooperation," Vanessa responded bluntly.

"I assure you, Miss Lewis, that the murder case was nothing but a misunderstanding. Our company is absolutely trustworthy," I replied, trying my best to save the cooperation.

"Honestly, I'd like to work with you as a partner. I've also read the announcement of the Hill Group. And thus, I've decided to continue working with the Wilson Group." Vanessa gave me a smile. Overjoyed, I said, "Miss Lewis, I swear, you will not regret your decision."

"Do you mind if I make a request?" Vanessa asked tentatively.

"Well, of course! As your partner, I'll do my best to fulfill your request," I answered confidently.

"I hope you can hand over all the

design related work to Simon and let

him communicate with me directly

from now on." Having said that,

Vanessa smiled at Simon, S

The latter turned his face away, visibly embarrassed.

Sensing that something seemed wrong, I started looking back and forth between them.

Vanessa was staring at Simon with a passionate gaze blatantly.

I could tell that something was going on between them, so I nodded along and chuckled.

Once Vanessa had left, I said to Simon, "Vanessa is quite a charmer, isn't she? I think she has a crush on you."

"Caroline, you of all people should know who I love."

Simon gazed at me with eyes filled with affection. For a moment, I wasn't sure how to respond. I just lowered my gaze and avoided his eyes.

All of a sudden, a ringtone resonated throughout the office, breaking the awkward silence.

I immediately answered the phone.

"Caroline, would you like to have dinner with me after work?"

Shocked to hear my father's voice over the phone, my eyes widened.

"Dad, you're back?"

Edward's POV:

After the phone call, I told the chauffeur to drive me to the famous underwater restaurant.

These past few weeks, I had been busy travelling from one city to another.

Now, I was happy that I finally had the time to sit down and have a good meal with my daughter.

"I've been wanting to come to that

restaurant for a long time, but I've never had the chance. I'm so

to finally be able to eat the

exclaimed.

Olivia

"Olivia, why don't you go back to the hotel? It wouldn't be appropriate for you to join my reunion with my daughter," I remarked bluntly.

"Edward, I haven't seen Caroline for a long time either. Why won't you let me come with you?" Olivia responded while tugging on my sleeve.

"I said just go back to the hotel! Do not make me repeat myself again," I shouted, snarling at her.

Startled, Olivia went on her way with tearful eyes.

"Dad!"

Caroline walked into the restaurant, her eyes were filled with joy.

"Caroline, my child! Long time no see." I spread my arms out and gave her a big smile.

She threw herself into my arms as tears welled up in her eyes.

"God, I heard about what happened to Susan. The public is badly misjudging you these days." I gave her a gentle pat on the shoulder to offer some comfort.

The day I saw the news, I felt so bad for my daughter and angry at how things spiraled out of control for her.

How I wished that I could come back from abroad that day!

"It's okay, Dad. I'm doing just fine." Caroline smiled through tears.

"Don't worry, Caroline. No matter the cost, I'm going to prove your innocence," I promised.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"A clean hand need not be washed. The public opinion won't sway me," Caroline replied, wearing a bold smile.

"So, how are you getting along with Simon? I heard that the lawyer advised you to find a stable partner. Simon seems like a good choice," I suggested.

"I'll think about it for a little bit more," she replied.

"What about Charles? I also heard

that the bastard is still badgering you. It's obvious that he wants to get

back together with you.

think? Do you need Dahabdo you

help?"

I was well aware that Caroline still hadn't moved on from Charles.

'What's so good about him that she can't forget him?' I wondered.

'But then again, if she's really happy with him, I guess there's nothing for me to do but to accept him.'
