Without even looking up, Eddy said, "You should be at City Hall right now." Caroline took a deep breath and sat down opposite him. "I won't divorce if you're going to divest," she said. Eddy looked up and smiled. "Caroline, do you know what you're saying?""Of course I am," said Caroline calmly. "I only found out today that the Evans family is only still standing on its feet thanks to the Morrison family's support. It's indeed reasonable for you to ask for one of my kidneys." She lowered her head and her red lips formed a smile. "But, if you want me to die so that you can be with Layla, that's too much."Eddy frowned. "Caroline, don't put words in my mouth. When did I say I wanted you to die—" Caroline waved a hand and cut him off. "The money spent on the Evans Group is yours. There's nothing wrong with you wanting to divest, but at least give my family a chance to do something about it. I've done the math. As long as the company has 50 million in its accounts, that will be eno

Eddy was dying to know what kind of woman could make his uncle, who had always been indifferent toward relationships, fall in love at first sight and get married right away. Kirk remained silent. Eddy leaned closer to him and said, "Uncle Kirk, don't tell me that you won't let us see her because she's so beautiful that you want to save her for your eyes and your eyes only?" Kirk didn't deny it.Eddy's eyes widened instantly as he exclaimed, "I got it right! No way, Uncle Kirk. I'm even more curious now that you’re like this. You must let me meet her as soon as possible!" Kirk looked up at Eddy, who looked excited and was anticipating an answer. He smiled imperceptibly. "You'll meet her."After leaving the Morrison Corporation, Caroline raced home and dug into her contacts list. 50 million dollars was probably just the equivalent of a few meals to the upper class, but convincing them to lend her such a sum would be harder than moving mountains, especially when Eddy already had pla

The sound of his deep, husky voice made Caroline slowly realize that she was hugging Kirk. At once, she got flustered and hastily took a step back. Her pale face was flushed as she said, "Sorry, I …" Kirk's chest immediately felt hollow. As if nothing had happened, he said mildly, "I can lend you the money." Caroline went stiff, wondering if she had heard him correctly. “What did you say?"Kirk felt uneasy at her stare and said, "50 million dollars." Caroline frowned. "Kirk, thank you, but I'll find a way to get through this. You needn't worry.""I can help you, honestly." Kirk's gaze flitted toward her occasionally. "Actually, I am the Morrison family's …""I know you're in Morrison Corp's middle management and your yearly salary isn't exactly peanuts, but 50 million dollars is still a huge sum," said Caroline with a smile. "Unless you're an actual Morrison. But if that were the case, we wouldn't be married." "Why not?" Kirk's eyes were as black as coal. "Before, it was l

The phone screen went dark, but it lit up again after a few seconds. Kent was happy about that, but when he glanced at it again, his expression changed drastically. He shot to his feet and answered the phone, saying respectfully, "Mr. Morrison." The moment he said that, the noisy room fell into pin-drop silence.Nobody knew what the other person said, but Kent's expression remained respectful the whole time. After a while, he frowned and said, "But, didn't you say … Okay, I understand." With that, he waited for the other person to end the call. Then, he called Caroline. "Ms. Evans? I was in a meeting, so I didn't hear your call. You need to see me? Okay, let's meet up and have a nice long hat. No problem, see you tomorrow night."After putting down her phone, Caroline felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Kirk came back after his smoke and asked, "Good news?" Caroline looked up with a smile and said, "Yup, I made an appointment with someone for tomorrow." "A ma

“I came to see you today to …" Kent waved his hand dismissively and said with a sigh, "Ms. Evans, this must be your first time talking business. The rule is to drink before talking about business matters." With that, he snapped his fingers at the waiter and ordered, "Bring us the best bottle of wine you have." A moment later, the waiter brought a bottle of wine up to them and Kent took it from him, filling Caroline's glass personally. "Ms. Evans, this is my favorite red wine. Here, have a taste." Looking at the full glass of red wine, Caroline frowned slightly."What's the matter? You won't give me this pleasure?" Kent said with a displeased expression. Caroline felt helpless and had no choice but to take a small sip. Kent's expression turned more sour and he said, "You don’t seem very serious about this, Ms. Evans. If that’s how it’s going to be, I think it's best that you leave."Caroline said hastily, "No, it's just that I have a low tolerance for alcohol …" Seeing Ken

Caroline rushed to grab a towel from the bedside and stuffed it into Kent's mouth. After all, it was her first time in a situation like that, and she was already at the end of her rope after pushing through to this point. Hearing the knock on the door, she trembled like a leaf, at a complete loss for what to do. A familiar voice came from outside. "Caroline, it's me."Stunned, Caroline opened the door without hesitation. Seeing that it was Kirk, she felt surprised and grateful at the same time. She threw herself into his arms. All the fear and trepidation she felt vanished in an instant. "What … What's the matter?" Kirk patted her thin shoulders lightly and consoled her softly. "What would have happened to you if I wasn’t here?" He looked up and shot a dark glare at Kent, who was sprawled on the ground like a fat pig."Wait here for me and don't go anywhere," said Kirk. He made sure Caroline was safe and walked into the room, shutting the door behind him. The camera was still glo

The sharp ringing of Caroline's phone pulled her back to reality. When she pushed Kirk away, she was panting. "It's … my phone. It must be Gwen." Then, she quickly answered the call. "Hey, Gwen.""Phew … You picked up. I was worried to death. How did it go? Did that old bastard hurt you?"Caroline did not dare to look at Kirk. "No. I already left.""That's good. Wait a minute." Gwen suddenly sensed that something was amiss. "Babe, why are you breathing so heavily? Don't tell me that bastard's chasing after you? I'll come to you right now …""No, there's no need," said Caroline hastily. "I'm fine, I'm just relieved that it’s over. Anyway, the problem is solved. I … I'll talk to you tomorrow." Caroline regretted it the moment she hung up the phone. The car was pin-drop silent. The atmosphere was still charged, but it was more awkward than before. She fumbled for words for a long time before saying, "So … Was that a spot check?"Kirk turned the air-conditioning higher, but the heat

Everybody got up and prepared to greet Kirk, but what he did was punch Eddy in the face. Their jaws dropped, including Eddy's himself. After a pause, Eddy cradled his cheek and raised his head. "Uncle Kirk?" Kirk looked at him with a venomous gaze. Sean was the first to get his senses back and signaled to the others to leave the room. "Kirk, what's the matter with you?""Yeah, why did you hit me out of nowhere, Uncle Kirk?""You know why, don’t you?" Veins bulged on the back of Kirk's hand. If it wasn't because Sean was holding him back, he would have punched Eddy again. "No matter how much you hate Caroline, you should never have sent a man to rape her!"Kirk's patience toward Eddy had already reached its limit over the surgery incident, and he did not expect Eddy to cross another boundary. Eddy said in shock, "When … When did I send a man to … rape her?""She was almost assaulted by Kent Pearson tonight. I witnessed it with my own eyes. Are you still not going to admit it?"
