The next day, Charles had just arrived at the office when several cleaners stopped him. "Mr. Lane!" "What's wrong?" Charles asked, halting in his footsteps. Noticing the tools in her hands, he couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Aren't you guys done with the cleaning? It's late." "The boss is in there. We don't have the guts to head in." "He's in there?" Charles asked in disbelief. A situation like this had been all too common when they had been back in Sarcozia. But it had been a rare occurrence after Kirk had married Caroline. The only exception was when everybody had to work overtime. "Yeah. I heard from the guards that he returned here alone last night and stayed the night," explained the cleaner. "What's more, it seems like he injured his face." Charles' heart leaped into his throat. Did Kirk and Caroline get into a fight again?Charles gingerly opened the door and saw Kirk lying on the couch with his eyes closed. He squinted to see more clearly and noticed seve

After hanging up, Caroline played Gwen's super long voice message. It started with Gwen guffawing. "Carol, do you know who I bumped into when I went to visit my mom at the hospital just now? I met Eddy!""He's wrapped in bandages like a mummy!" she exclaimed. "The doctors and nurses said that one of the elders in the Morrison family beat him up!" "This is karma at its best!" Gwen laughed and added, "Just who was the person who did this to him?" Caroline didn't respond. She just listened quietly to Gwen. Perhaps it was because Jude had taken a bullet for her that she didn't find any of this funny. Although she disliked Eddy and his family, he was Jude's grandson. Gwen abruptly noticed that Caroline's status remained "typing …" for quite some time. Gingerly, she messaged Caroline again. "Carol, I shouldn't have said that, right?"When Caroline saw the message, she froze momentarily before smiling wryly at the screen to reply. "Nope. It's my problem." "What's wrong?"

Gwen tried to stop herself from giving it away, but Caroline still noticed that something was wrong with her. "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?" Caroline asked and turned to follow Gwen's gaze. Gwen thought of raising her hands to block Caroline's view, but it was all too late. The latter's foot hit the brakes, causing the car to come to an abrupt halt. "Carol," said Gwen as she looked at Caroline's startled expression. "Don't get mad yet. Maybe he has his reasons for doing this." She turned to look in Kirk's direction once again, but he had gotten into a car. "Let's tail him and see where he's headed. We shouldn't let history repeat itself and misunderstand him again," Gwen pouted all while tugging at Caroline's sleeve. For a moment, Caroline pursed her lips in silence. "No matter what he does later on, I'll beat him up when we catch him red-handed, and you can't stop me by then!" "I won't! I won't!" Gwen said in haste, worried about Caroline's condition. "Let me

Looking as pale as a sheet, Caroline pushed through the door. That villa right there was …Ignoring the chauffeur, Caroline swept her eyes around the house. It was an old and unfurnished villa. There was dust everywhere. She could even see footsteps on the ground. The footsteps were clear, so the person they belonged to probably came in here not long ago.She glanced at the footsteps and thought that the person's shoe size was similar to Kirk's "Carol, is Kirk here?" Gwen asked after entering the villa and seeing the footsteps. "He probably is." Caroline took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She then followed the footsteps forward. Soon, they saw a basement. Its door was open. Panic washed over Gwen, and she gripped Caroline's hand. "Carol, this place gives me the creeps. It could be dangerous here. We shouldn't head in." Caroline considered the suggestion and said, "You can stay outside. I'll go in there alone. If I don't come back up after half an hour—"

"You might not have met him," said Gwen. "But he might've seen you lots of times before. Think about it." She counted her fingers and added, "Besides the incident related to Howard last time, he even helped you with the PR problem during Mr. Morrison Senior's banquet back then. "Why would he keep an eye on you if he had no feelings for you?" Caroline knitted her brows. Gwen's words made sense. After all, nothing came for free, and no one would be so kind for no reason at all."But you shouldn't worry about it too much." Gwen continued, "You're attending Mr. Morrison Senior's funeral soon, right? You'll get to see Eddy's second uncle there."By then, you can poke around and be discreet when you ask him about it," said Gwen. "If we overthink things, you'll just have to avoid him in the future. If he has eyes for you, though, you would have to hurry and ask Kirk to resign." "I know." Caroline nodded to show her understanding. Gwen patted her on the shoulder to reassure h
