Chapter 845

Meanwhile, Marietta was shocked beyond belief when she learned that Caroline had lost her memory.

“How could this be?” she muttered to herself, then suddenly spun around.

“What are you doing?” Betty stopped her.

Betty had just finished speaking when she noticed Marietta’s face turning bright red and her breathing becoming rapid. Clearly, she looked extremely upset.

“I’m going to find Kirk and ask him how he’s been taking care of Caroline!” Marietta declared.

Betty quickly covered Marietta’s mouth with her hand and looked around.

Fortunately, there was no one around there.

“Marietta, calm down.” Betty furrowed her brows in confusion. She had known Marietta for a long time and knew her well, but she had never seen the latter act like this before.

Betty said, “Kirk is just as hurt as you are right now.”

Frustrated and hurt, Marietta turned her head away, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down.

Caroline is such a poor child. Will fate ever be kind to her?”

“Of course. Caroline is born lucky, and I believe she will surely overcome this,” Betty reassured her, patting her shoulder.

Marietta nodded silently.

In a tall building in the city center, Finn crossed his legs on the table and smirked at Avery, who was on the verge of exploding with rage.

“I told you this plan would never work. I just didn’t expect Kirk to go so far as to involve the Shadowers for a woman.”

He wondered out loud, “Is he not afraid that I’ll stab him in the back right now?”

“How dare you?” Even though/Avery’s face contorted, her eyes held a stern warning.

“Finn, don’t blame me for not warning you-”

“You think you can scare me?” Finn interrupted Avery.

“Avery, don’t forget that you’re not my wife. If you were my wife, then maybe you could still say those threatening words now.”

Avery said with disgust, “Don’t call me that!”

Finn was unfazed. He just smiled and said, “Why are you so hung up on Kirk? He’s hurt you again and again. Why don’t we join forces and get back at him? Won’t it be more satisfying to see him in pain?”

“I told you, I won’t go after Kirk!” Avery declared.

“I’m working with you to get rid of Caroline.”

At this point, she glanced at Finn with a hint of contempt. “Lately, you’ve just been watching the show, not really offering any help. So I have to ask-do you still want to work with me?”

Finn smirked. “Avery, we’re supposed to be partners, but what have you given me in return? I helped your reveal Kirk’s true identity to Caroline.”

Unfortunately, they had failed at the last minute.

“But what about you? What can you give me?” Finn walked up to Avery, lifted her hair, and smelled it.

“You haven’t given me anything, and you still need me to help you deal with your emotions.

“Avery, my patience is limited. I’m willing to put up with you because I love you. I’ll support you no matter what you do. But I don’t know when my patience will run out.”

Avery’s body trembled slightly.

She couldn’t believe she was hearing a threat in Finn’s words.

She lifted her gaze and saw him looking at her with unbridled interest.

Avery inhaled sharply and took a big step back. “Fine, if you don’t want to help me, so be it. Caroline is already in Macldo. I’ll deal with her however I see fit.”

After all, Macldo was considered her territory.
