Eddy's body shuddered violently with anger. He looked at Caroline as she stumbled away. Suddenly, he felt that the distance between them was getting larger. It felt like they were worlds apart.He felt a strange sense of panic. Instinctively, he wanted to run after her."Eddy …" Layla's voice made him stop. She rushed to push her wheelchair forward from where she'd hidden and listened to them.Eddy turned around. He saw Layla's swollen left cheek. It was then that he remembered he'd wanted to get back at Caroline for it."Sorry, I …"Layla cut him off. It seemed like she was trying to hide something. "Eddy, can I … Can I ask you for a favor?"Eddy was feeling guilty for forgetting about getting justice for Layla. When he heard this, he nodded quickly. "Tell me.""Caroline said she wants to announce your marriage at the birthday banquet. She said it was a surprise for Grandpa."Eddy frowned. "What does she mean by that?"Layla shook her head. There were tears in her eyes. "Most

Instead of answering, Caroline kept Jude guessing. She lifted a wine glass and clinked it several times. The room fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Caroline.Caroline dragged herself to the stage despite her injured foot. She said into the microphone, "Everyone, I would like to use the opportunity of Grandpa's birthday to announce some good news."As she said this, she shot a glance at Eddy. Everyone in the audience noticed this action. They got the message immediately. Excited, they encouraged Caroline to make her announcement.The people who'd be affected by the marriage each wore a different expression. In the lounge, Kirk's face was as black as thunder as he watched the surveillance footage.He felt close to losing his cool."This matter is very important to me." Caroline smiled warmly. It looked as though she was thinking about the past. "I've been waiting for this day ever since I was a little girl. I even thought I wouldn't make it to this day. But it's here now!

The moment Caroline said this, the crowd burst into an uproar."What? Is Caroline really married? And she didn't marry Eddy?""Is she really giving up on the chance to become Eddy Morrison's wife? How can this be? Everyone wants that position. Is she really that foolish?""There were rumors that Caroline married an average Joe. Could it really be true?"All this gossip spread across the venue.Across the distance between them, Kirk stared at Caroline, who stood under the lights. He wanted to go up and hug her. The urge was stronger than what he'd felt before. Yet he couldn't do it because he was also a member of the Morrison family.Below the stage, everyone was still discussing the matter in a raging flurry. Their chattering didn't stop.Caroline raised a hand, signaling them to quiet down. She confessed honestly, "My husband is just an average guy. He's not from one of the four great families, and he's not from a rich family either. "Since we're already married, we want to

Eddy felt like his heart had been hit by a hammer. He tightened his fists.Jude asked Caroline again, "Does that man really treat you well?"Caroline affirmed it and lowered her head. Her fair skin reddened as she blushed.Jude had once been in love himself. When he saw her reaction, he swayed. His breathing came faster."Dad!" Thomas quickly went forward to support Jude's back. He patted Jude's back to soothe him.Caroline scooted closer. "Grandpa …"Jude's breathing slowly steadied. He lifted a hand and caressed Caroline's cheek with it. "I'm fine … Just fine …"Caroline's eyes went red with tears. "Grandpa, I didn't mean it. You can hit me or scold me. You can do anything. Just don't get mad and affect your health."Jude chuckled and said, "Silly girl. I'm happy that you told me about this. But I care about you the most. I'm just so worried because I don't know what kind of man you married. Can I meet him?"Caroline was overjoyed. She was about to answer, but then she shut

Layla stared at Kirk's cold figure. As she did, he brushed past her.She'd heard Sarah complain numerous times before. Sarah had talked about Caroline's head being muddled for marrying an ordinary person. Thus, Layla had thought that the man was ugly and poor. Who would have thought that he was even more impressive than Eddy?Layla clenched her fists tightly, and her nails cut into her flesh. Only after that did her envy subside. But what good were looks? Caroline's husband was still just a poor man!…Kirk carried Caroline into the car before setting her down.Caroline kept stealing glances at him. She noticed that his lips were pursed into a thin line. He was probably mad, so she said warily, "Did I … cause you a lot of trouble?"Based on the plan, Caroline was supposed to announce her marriage to Eddy.Yet, when she'd been on stage, she remembered the villa Kirk had bought her and Sean saying that Kirk wanted to give her a home. Thinking of all this, Caroline forgot about

Caroline finally fell asleep late in the night.Kirk went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. It was only after two hours under the water that the desire was washed away.When he came out, he saw Caroline sleeping on the bed. Only her face was above the covers. In sleep, she wasn't like she usually was when awake. She frowned instead of smiling. It was as if she had some difficult problem she couldn't solve.Kirk couldn't help but kiss her forehead.When he straightened, he found himself aroused again. Annoyed, he went downstairs and stood in the cool breeze.Kirk's phone rang as he reached downstairs.Seeing the caller ID on the screen, his expression darkened. "Dad.""I knew you wouldn't be asleep yet," Ivan Morrison said. "How's business in Easton?""I'm buying several large makeup companies." Kirk's voice was cool. "I think they'll be settled next month. After that, I'll proceed to the next target."Ivan laughed. "I knew it would be fine as long as you were handling it.

Eddy huffed. "I have to admit, playing hard to get really worked. I honestly started caring about you a little."He looked at the back of Caroline's head and inhaled sharply. His words were all coldly mocking.Caroline turned to stare straight at Eddy. Her gaze seemed to look right through him. "Eddy, don't think you're all that. In my eyes, you're nothing but a pile of shit!"Eddy was stunned to hear Caroline say something so crude. After a long while, he turned red with rage. "Unrefined! You're so vulgar, Caroline! It seems you've been tainted after spending so much time with that lout of a husband you have. You're even becoming so boorish!"Caroline smiled mockingly. "Yes, we're unrefined and boorish. But compared to you, a well-dressed beast, we're at least living honestly!""You!" Eddy was so furious that he wagged a finger. "You're really something! I didn't know you had such a sharp tongue! And to think I pitied you for hurting your ankle. It seems you deserve it!"After s

The second she sent it, Gwen called.On the phone, Gwen sounded excited. "Oh my God! Carol, you're so brave. Was Mr. Morrison Senior mad? Are you okay?""No, he only said he wanted to meet my husband." Caroline's face turned pink when she mentioned Kirk.Gwen let out a breath. "I was so scared! I thought Mr. Morrison Senior would throw a tantrum. But this is good. You've finally escaped that scumbag, Eddy!"Gwen had barely finished saying that when Eddy's angry voice came from outside. "Caroline, get out here!"Caroline was stunned. Gwen heard Eddy's shout too. Nervous, she asked, "Carol, what's going on?""It's nothing," Caroline reassured. "I'll call you back in a bit."After saying that, she quickly hung up.Just as she put down her phone, she saw the bedraggled Sarah and Dan. Caroline frowned. She lo
