In the elevator, Eddy complained, "She's really ungrateful. Her husband acted out and caused a big problem for the Collins family. "I came all the way here to warn her, but she didn't appreciate my goodwill at all. Her best friend even showed off the ring Caroline's husband gave her."At the mention of that ring, Eddy said dismissively, "It's just a ring. I can buy a dozen of them." He was sure that the ring Caroline's husband had bought was just a piece of junk.Kirk raised an eyebrow, remaining calm.Eddy wasn't expecting Kirk to agree with him, so he continued, "She's just trying to show off her relationship. If her husband really loves her, why didn't I see him when I was in her room?" Eddy said resentfully, feeling bitterness well up in his heart, "Just you wait. After a while, she'll definitely beg Grandpa for help. We'll see if she's still arrogant when the time comes."Kirk finally spoke up. "Why?""Think about it." Eddy beamed. "Brie is Howard's precious daughter, a

Caroline waited for her blush to disappear before looking back at Kirk. She asked, "Have you heard what happened to Brie?" She didn't believe that Kirk would torture Brie to the brink of death. He didn't have what it took."Yeah," Kirk said casually."Who do you think did it?""I don't know." Kirk remained impassive."How did you get out of the hotel that day?" Caroline asked. Brie had so many bodyguards with her. It was impossible for Kirk to leave that place unscathed."The bodyguards had already collapsed after I arrived." Kirk wasn't exactly lying.Caroline stroked her chin, lost in thought. "That means there was another group of people that day. Could they be responsible for what happened to Brie?"Kirk held Caroline's hand. "Don't think about it too much.""I'm just afraid …" Caroline looked up at Kirk tearfully. Kirk's heart melted instantly, and he held Caroline in his arms, saying softly, "Are you afraid that the Collins family will direct their anger on me if th

Eddy walked in just as Howard was leaving angrily. He asked, "Grandpa, what's with him?"Jude sighed and questioned, "How's the investigation going for Brie's case?""No updates. The surveillance cameras at Saint Pierre Grand Hotel were all destroyed."Jude mused, "Who had the audacity to hurt Brie Collins?"Eddy frowned and went over to whisper to him, "Grandpa, I think Caroline's husband is highly suspicious. The case at the Saint Pierre Grand Hotel was similar to my prior investigation into him—the surveillance cameras were destroyed and the witnesses went missing. "But if her husband is the culprit, he must be a rather powerful figure."Jude stood up with his walking stick. "If he's bold enough to harm the Collins family, he must be more powerful than them. In Easton, there is only one family …"He suddenly paused. Eddy waited for an answer. "Grandpa?"Jude's eyes sparkled. "Why didn't I think of him?""Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Eddy was confused.Jude look

Kirk threw all the business cards he'd received away. "No.""You're lying," Caroline accused him with a tiny smile.He tilted his head and stared at her. She quickly wiped off her smile. "What?""Are you jealous?" He smirked at her.Her face was as red as a tomato. She denied it, saying, "No."At that moment, a man in a black suit jogged toward them. He nodded at Kirk and spoke fluent Celonish.Since Caroline had been sent abroad when she'd been eight years old, she was fluent in Celonish. However, it took her some time to figure out what the man was saying because of his thick accent. It turned out that Kirk's family had sent him here to pick them up. A car was parked across the airport. She followed the man's gaze, and her eyes landed on a Rolls-Royce. She was startled.Kirk was similarly surprised to see the car. They followed the man to the car, which confirmed Caroline's guess. "Is this your family's car?"Kirk acted normal. "No, they rented it. My dad has a big ego,

Ivan enthusiastically introduced the strangers to Caroline. "These are Kirk's childhood friends. They came here just to meet him. Avery, Bryan, this is Kirk's wife, Caroline."The young man introduced himself. "Hi, Caroline. I'm Bryan Mendeley. This is my sister Avery."Caroline reached out to shake Bryan's hand before looking at Avery Mendeley. It only took Avery a moment to shake her hand with a wide smile. "I couldn't believe that Kirk's married! I thought you were …"She lifted a brow and examined Caroline with her alluring eyes. "Caroline, you're pretty. No wonder Kirk was in a hurry to marry you."Although Caroline was receiving compliments, she felt like Avery was throwing shade at her. She looked at Kirk.He nodded at the two as a curt greeting."You guys must be hungry. Right?" Ivan gave Caroline his full attention. "Come, Caroline. Let's eat at the dining hall."Caroline was led into the dining hall. Her favorite food was served on the table.Ivan explained, "Kirk r

Avery stopped him before he spilled the truth. "Hey, Bryan, can you serve the desserts?"Bryan caught himself when he noticed he almost slipped up. Then, he went into the kitchen moodily.Caroline watched Bryan leave. She asked with curiosity, "So, Bryan was just saying that …""It's nothing." Avery clenched her fist underneath the couch pillow and smiled calmly. "Just ignore him."She took Caroline's hand and examined the diamond ring that had been tucked away for years."What a lovely ring."Secretly, she thought, "This should have been mine.""It is." Caroline glanced at the ring with tenderness.Meanwhile, Kirk frowned after listening to Ivan's explanation. "Why did we have to trouble Avery? It's not like we don't have villas for this occasion."Ivan's eyes twinkled as he laughed jovially. "Are you sure you want to show Caroline our villas? They're worth way more than this one. Well, Avery was fine with lending us the villa. You shouldn't be complaining."Kirk rested hi

Caroline was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Finished with his shower, Kirk walked out of the bathroom. He found Caroline asleep on the bed with a smile on her face, as though she were having a sweet dream. He felt the sudden urge to do something, yet he didn't want to wake her up. In the end, he simply hugged her from behind and suppressed his urges. "You ungrateful brat," he muttered with a smile, kissing her gently on her lips. Doing so helped quench his desire a little. The night passed silently. When Caroline woke up, it was already morning. She tossed and turned a little in Kirk's arms, stirring him from his sleep. Still, he didn't open his eyes. His warm palms were pressed against her tummy, and he pulled her closer to him. It made Caroline blush. "Kirk," she murmured. She sounded sluggish, but her voice was music to his ears. Kirk opened his eyes and moved closer to her until their noses touched. "Call me honey," Kirk said tea

Once she agreed to attend the pool party, Caroline started to worry. She hadn't brought her swimsuit with her, and buying one here would be quite difficult since she wasn't familiar with this place. Just as she was deep in thought, she spotted Kirk coming downstairs. "Are you heading outside?" She asked. "Yep. I'm going to the city for a while." He had occasionally flown back from Easton to deal with work. Still, the company was big, and leaving it without showing up for too long would affect the influence he had. Ivan had just called him to the study to discuss that too."Can I tag along?" Caroline asked, to Kirk's surprise. Caroline lowered her head and shifted from foot to foot. "I'm … thinking of buying myself a swimsuit." Her words made Kirk raise both eyebrows now. "I'll go with you then." His intention was obvious. Needless to say, he wanted to see her in a swimsuit. "But didn't you say that you have something to attend to there?" "I can do it in the afternoon,
