A soft smile hung on Caroline's lips. She knew fairly well what Gwen was trying to say. "I asked Eddy's second uncle about it that day," Caroline said, speaking into the phone with her back against the railing. She turned to look at Kirk. She wasn't sure what he was doing, but she could see that his brows were furrowed slightly. Under the soft light, he seemed less stern and more approachable than before. "He said he supported me only because I have a knack for business," replied Caroline."You're too naive. There are lots of others who have a knack for business, too. How come you were the one to catch his eye? You'd better watch out. Especially since he's helped you this time." Gwen continued, "He's a part of Collins Group now, and you'll have to keep an eye out in case he talks about it."Caroline fell silent as she considered Gwen's words. "Don't worry about me, Gwen. I know what I'm doing." "I don't have to worry about you," Gwen told her. "I know you like the back of

"Eddy, you can't treat me like this! You can't … Even if you have no feelings for me, I'm still your savior. You wouldn't have lived to this day without me. You can't treat me like this."Eddy hung up, his face expressionless. Indeed, Layla had saved him once back then, but he had repaid her kindness a lot of times too. He didn't want this to carry on anymore. It was fine if she wanted him to give her money or help her search for a suitor. He couldn't care less about her anymore. Right now, all he wanted to do was be together with Caroline. He had finally realized just how much he loved her. He loved her so, so, so much.He couldn't lose her. He had to take her out of Kirk's grasp. Meanwhile, Layla collapsed onto the ground after suffering multiple blows from the truth bombs Eddy had said. Seeing her reaction, everyone around her knew that the matter regarding Collins Group was now set in stone. There was nothing she could do to change it, so they left her alone in the room.

Kirk didn't wait for a reply after sending the message. He simply looked down at Caroline in his arms. Her brows were furrowed tightly, which made him wonder what she was dreaming about. "No, it isn't me. I didn't …" she murmured. This wasn't the first time Kirk had seen her frown and mutter in her sleep. His heart broke a little every time this happened. Despite what he felt, he could only hug her tight to give her some warmth. It was a good thing that Michael had prescribed her some medicine. Otherwise, she would have nightmares every other day. Now, she didn't wake up from fright like before. Soon, she fell into a deep slumber once again. Now that Caroline was sleeping just fine, Kirk could finally close his eyes and fall asleep himself. Early the next morning, he saw Eddy's reply. "The Gruidae. See you at 9:00 pm." Eddy had sent the message last night. Kirk narrowed his eyes at the screen and was about to put his phone down when he noticed Caroline getting up from the

This time, Kirk's words stunned Eddy to the very core. "We—""There's no 'we' here," Kirk scoffed, his voice harsh. He spoke as if he were a higher being who looked down on the foolishness of mankind. "You reaped what you sowed and made Caroline hate the Morrison family. And now I'm the one who has to bear the consequences of your actions!"Kirk's hands balled into fists, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly in a sneer. "Do you really think you have the right to question my decision about hiding the truth from her?" His dark eyes stared right into Eddy's, making the latter feel as though he were enveloped by darkness. The feeling of dread made him feel suffocated, and he subconsciously trembled at Kirk's gaze. A while later, Kirk said, "I know that I'm at fault here. That's why I'm trying to make amends now.""Uncle Kirk, please divorce Caroline," Eddy pleaded. "Give me a chance, will you?" Shooting up from his seat, Kirk kicked Eddy in the chest. Eddy was caug

Quentin broke into a smile and said, "I'll tell you about Yvonne first, then."He continued, "I found out that she had indeed been adopted from an orphanage. "But she was taken away from the orphanage in just a couple of months. It doesn't match up with what you told me about Ms. Weiss' daughter." "Is it possible that she joined the Hacketts only when she turned five or six years old?" Caroline asked, even though she felt that the possibility wasn't that high. "That's possible," Quentin said. "I've looked into it. After she was taken away from the orphanage, the Hacketts' nanny took her to the countryside. "The Hackett couple only visited her occasionally, and she went to live with them when she was around five or six years old."Caroline had never expected her assumption to hit the bull's eye. "But I still think that this all sounds ridiculous. Even if they had seldom met, they shouldn't have mistaken their daughter for another five-year-old." "We're on the same page,"
