Chapter 306
The three doctors looked at Sean. They appeared unscathed because the wounds were hidden under their clothes.
And as a doctor, Sean knew how to avoid the vital parts.
The three of them had suffered a lot in Sean’s presence, so they didn’t have the gall to lie.
They scrambled to answer immediately. “Ms. Layla isn’t sick She forced me to fake her medical records and
checklists. Mr. Eddy, 1-1 don’t know anything. I was forced to do this
Eddy couldn’t listen to the doctors‘ explanations at all. His mind was buzzing. Only one revelation was going through
his mind right now:
Layla wasn’t sick. She wasn’t ill at all —
He slowly turned his head like a broken doll and looked at Layla with dull eyes. He asked, “Why? Why did you do
this?”
Layla had considered the possibility that Eddy would one day discover the truth. However, since the outside world
couldn’t know about. what was going on in prison, she took the opportunity to lie and say that she was cured of her
illness. She thought her plans were perfect, but
She glared at Caroline hatefully. She bit the inside of her cheek. The pain calmed her down instantly. She took a
deep breath. Her tears rolled down her cheeks as she explained. “Ed, let me explain —*
As she said that, she tried to grab Eddy’s hand, but he ruthlessly ripped it away. “So… you really lied to me, didn’t
you?” He looked down
and fixed his eyes on Layla.
Layla felt like she had been dragged into the dark abyss of despair. She really wanted to get out of this
predicament.
However, if she lied again, even with the cold, hard facts in front of her, it would only make Eddy more disappointed
in her. She firmly
grasped Eddy’s clothes and shakingly replied, “Y–yes —

a long while, he pushed Layla away and strode toward the door.
uctions caught Layla off guard, and she fell to the ground, making a loud noise. However, he never looked back, not
even once.
Seeing this, Layla knew that Eddy was upset, and there was no point in acting miserable. She quickly got up from
the ground and caught
up with Eddy.
The lively meeting room immediately turned quiet. Caroline and Sean looked at each other, enjoying the show that
had occurred.
“I’ll be taking my leave,” Sean said. He nodded at Caroline and walked out of the room.
At this time, everyone had recovered from their shock, and some people even recognized Sean.
“Was that man Sean Yates?”
“I think so. I heard Mr. Eddy had invited him from abroad to treat Layla’s illness some time ago.”
“What’s his relationship with Caroline?”
“I don’t know. They seem to be — friends.”
“No way. Caroline actually knows a genius doctor!”
Evans Group’s senior management whispered among themselves and looked at Caroline with shock and fear.
Caroline got up and scanned the crowd. She asked. “So, I’ll be the new CEO of this company. Are there any
objections?”
No one in the meeting room dared to say anything.
“All right. Since there are no objections, you all may leave. Business will be as usual. I’ll officially start work
tomorrow.” After a while, there was sparse applause in the meeting room. Luke and Tom, who supported Layla, left
with a huff.

Liam left as well. He wasn’t as high–spirited as when he came in. In fact, he seemed to have aged for a few years.
Gavin was the only person who had sincerely hoped that Caroline would win. He stood up and held out his hand to
Caroline. He said, ” Congratulations, Ms. Evans.”
Caroline raised an eyebrow and said in return, “I’d like to congratulate you as well.”
Gavin was taken aback for a moment. Then, he remembered the ledgers and said. “Are you talking about how we
can settle things with the former CEO?”
Caroline shook her head slightly, her eyes glowing with confidence. She said, “Not only that, I’ll show you a new
Evans Group. So I’m congratulating you for making the right choice.”
Her words took Gavin aback. As a businessman, he had met countless confident people, but this was the first time
he had seen someone as confident as her.
“May I ask you a question, Ms. Evans?”
Gavin waited for Caroline to nod before asking. “What makes you so confident?”
He wasn’t mocking her at all; he genuinely wanted to know.
Caroline smiled proudly. “My husband.”
Gavin and George were stunned at her words.
Caroline picked up her bag. “All right. You’re both busy people, so I won’t waste any more of your time.”
She was eager to tell Kirk the good news face–to–face!
watching Caroline leave, George could no longer stay quiet. “Gavin, do you really believe that Caroline can clean up
this mess of a
hy?”
Gavin said. “I didn’t believe it before, but maybe I do now.”
“But you heard what she said. Her confidence comes from her husband. A rational and mature businesswoman
wouldn’t say such emotional words.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGavin and George walked toward the elevator together. Gavin explained, “You saw what happened today. If she was
really incompetent, she wouldn’t have been able to get Sloan to change his mind.”
George wanted to refute it, but he couldn’t find the words. Gavin’s words didn’t completely convince him.
He still didn’t believe Caroline could manage Evans Group. Simply put, he had chosen the best out of a mediocre
bunch.
When the two arrived downstairs, they saw Luke and Tom smoking and chatting in the smoking area. Noticing the
two cousins, they walked over to them leisurely.
“It’s strange. What benefits did Caroline give you to make you two obey her like dogs?”
George was about to rush forward, but Gavin stopped him. Gavin said in a gentle tone, “I have a similar question,
too. What did Layla give you to make you obey her like dogs?”
Luke and Tom looked at each other, and then they both laughed. “There’s no point bickering like this. You’re going
to regret your decision sooner or later, Gavin!”
“That’s right!”
Gavin said in return, “We’re all in the same boat. Il Caroline really messes this up, you’ll be screwed too.”
Luke laughed loudly. “No, no. Both of us won’t since we and Morrison Corp will be retracting our investments soon.
Since we’ve worked together for many years, let me give you some advice. You should run away while you can.”
And with that, the two men walked away.

Gavin frowned deeply. Alter a long while, he declared, “No.”
“Why?”
“ance Caroline didn’t disappoint us alter we put our trust in her, we should trust her again.”
“What if she lails?”
George hesitantly said, “She has never had experience managing a company before.”
Then, we’ll just treat it as getting a bad deal,” Gavin said lightheartedly. He had already been prepared for Evans
