Chapter 146
The woman stared blankly at Kirk, who stood nearby, and her eyes turned red again. She put her
head down and ran away.
Caroline silently watched the woman run away.
“What’s wrong?” Kirk had already finished his call. When he saw the employee running away, a sharp
glint appeared in his eyes.
Caroline touched her face. “Do I look scary today?” Why had the woman cried after just a brief
conversation with her?
Kirk lowered his head and carefully looked at the makeup on Caroline’s face. After a moment, he
smiled and kissed her lips. “Not at all. In fact, you look adorable.”
Caroline pushed him away with a blush. “Cool it. Why did Dad call you?”

there”
“Let’s go,” Caroline said.
“Okay.”
The two went to Ivan’s home. As soon as they walked through the door, they saw Avery sitting on
the couch with a pale face. There was still a red mark on her face, courtesy of Caroline’s slap a few
days ago.
When Avery saw Caroline and Kirk, she looked up at them listlessly, tears welling in her eyes.
Lia’s heart broke seeing her daughter like this. She didn’t think that Caroline was even human
anymore.
“Dad,” Caroline said, greeting Ivan.
Ivan looked up at Caroline, and the smile on his face disappeared. “Come here, Caroline. I have
something to ask you.”
Caroline walked over to him.
Ivan asked, “Let me ask you, did you leak Avery’s drafts for the game concept?”
Caroline blinked. Even though she understood every word he spoke, when she strung them
together, she couldn’t understand at all
“What are you talking about, Dad?”
I can’t believe you’re still feigning ignorance. Lia loved her daughter dearly, so she couldn’t resist
standing up for her
Then, she said, “Because of you, Avery lost her job, and the entire gaming industry blacklisted her How
can you be so cruel? What did Avery ever do to you? When she found out you were coming, she
busied herself and handled all the arrangements How could you betray her efforts like this?”
Caroline remained calm. “I really have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Kirk gently pulled Caroline to sit on the couch Raising his chin slightly, he said in a calm tone, You guys
aren’t making sense right now. What on earth happened?”
Lia took a deep breath and pushed Avery She urged, “Avery, tell Kirk about your situation. I’m
sure he won’t take sides.”
Avery sniffled “Forget it, Mom. It’s already happened. The entire industry has already blacklisted me,
and I’ll never find a job in this field again… There’s no point talking about it now.”
By the end, she was so overcome with emotions that she could barely speak.
Lia’s heart shattered when she saw this. She hugged Avery and cried.
“Oh, Avery I know how much you love the gaming industry. Those who hurt you must pay the price for
their actions. That’s the way it should be.”
Kirk was so annoyed by the crying that he unbuttoned his collar. “If you’re not going to talk, we’re going
to leave.” After that, he held Caroline’s waist and turned to leave.
