Brittany noticed Eddy and raised her eyebrows in surprise. She said, "You're here too, Mr. Eddy.""Yes," Eddy answered half-heartedly. He looked back at Brittany and asked, "What are you doing here?" Although he already knew the answer, he didn't want to admit the truth.Brittany replied, "Ms. Evans hired me to handle her PR case."Susan was shocked by Brittany's words. She looked at Caroline in disbelief.Eddy had already guessed it, but he still had a mild scowl. "But as far as I know, you don't usually go out and handle cases yourself," he said, looking at Caroline."You … you didn't do this for my sake, did you? She's already my ex-fiancée. You don't have to—"Brittany was still polite to Eddy, but she couldn't resist interrupting him. "You're mistaken, Mr. Eddy. I'm here because Ms. Evans caught my eye."Eddy remained silent."If there's nothing else, may I ask both of you to leave? I would like to talk to Ms. Evans in private."Brittany's team escorted the baffled Ed
Everyone in the industry said that Brittany would do even the most heavy-handed things to clear her client's name. However, Brittany knew Caroline as the woman who would obediently stick to Eddy like glue. She didn't expect her to become a completely different person in less than half a year. She liked the current Caroline very much.She asked, "So, what do I have to do?"Caroline explained, "When I went to see my real estate manager the other day, I was attacked by a mysterious man. The police are investigating it, so the man should be caught soon."She spoke lightheartedly, as if what she talked about didn't concern her. "You can start posting the evidence after the police arrest the attacker.""What if the police don't?" Brittany questioned.Caroline said calmly, "If the police still haven't caught anyone in three days, start going through with the plan."Brittany smiled sincerely. "It seems you had already figured out what to do before I came, Ms. Evans."Before coming her
Kirk warned, "You'd better pray that is the case. If she figures something out, I'll leave you to fend for yourself in some tribe in the mountains."Speechless, Charles stared at Kirk."Hurry up and clear out the irrelevant people in the café downstairs," Kirk ordered.Charles slowly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, sir!"After Charles left, Kirk pulled off his tie, feeling restless. He looked up at the sky. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was already in chaos. He even thought about what to do if Caroline had figured out he was Eddy's second uncle. Kirk had to show his sincerity in any way he could.Ten minutes later, he went to the café downstairs. Charles had already swapped out all the staff in the café with his subordinates. Kirk found a table by the window and sat down. He tapped his fingers on the table as he waited. As time slowly passed by, every second was torture for him.Finally, he saw Caroline's car arrive by the side of the road.
"You fool." Kirk said fondly, "This information may be useless for most people, but it's very important for her.""Really?"Kirk kissed her lips. "Have I ever lied to you?"Caroline thought about it, and surprisingly, he hadn't.Seeing the trusting expression on her face, Kirk had mixed feelings. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad."All right. I'll buy you a cup of coffee," he said, letting go of Caroline.Only then did Caroline realize that many people were looking at them. She blushed, remembering how she had been crying in Kirk's arms just now. She wished she could dig a hole to hide in.Kirk quickly returned with two cups of coffee and sat down beside Caroline. "I'll take you back later, okay?""It's okay."Caroline pouted slightly and whispered while hiding beside Kirk, "You can never lie to me, got it?"Kirk's hands froze. After a while, he nodded slightly.Caroline looked up at Kirk with bright eyes. "What will you do if you lie to me?"Kirk took Caroline's ha
"But why would Uncle Kirk ask Brittany to help Caroline?" Eddy asked Jude in confusion.Jude was angry, but he didn't have conclusive evidence about whether Kirk and Caroline were married. So, he swallowed back his anger and said, "What do you think?"Eddy thought for a moment before saying hesitantly, "Because … Uncle Kirk likes Caroline?"Jude nodded, pleased at his answer. But Eddy's following words upset him even more."But that's normal. Caroline is especially fond of elders like you both. Don't you like her too, Grandpa?"Seeing that his grandson didn't understand, Jude simply stopped talking about it. "Call Brittany over, and I'll ask her myself."Brittany had just received a call from Charles, telling her to be cautious around Caroline from now on. Just as she'd recovered from her shock, she got a call from Eddy, saying Jude wanted to see her.Brittany stared at the phone, impressed. Caroline was really amazing.Brittany went to visit Jude.Jude got straight to the poi
"Ignore him." Gwen coldly swatted Sean away, but her face was slightly red. She said, "We're still not boyfriend and girlfriend.""Then, what are you both doing?""We're on three-month probation. If we pass the probation, we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend.""How interesting." Caroline lowered her head and chopped the vegetables. She ordered, "You guys should talk outside. You'll get in the way if you stay crowded in here."Kirk refused, "I can help you!"Caroline pushed him out of the kitchen. "No thanks."Kirk refused to let up, but Caroline heartlessly kicked him out of the kitchen, closing the door behind her."Darling," Kirk opened a gap in the door and asked, "I just want to ask one question. I'll leave you alone after that.""What?""Did you buy the grapes?"Caroline blinked in confusion. She said, "Yeah, I did. Why?"Kirk smirked. He said nothing else, but Caroline could tell he was pleased. She didn't understand him. Men would be happy with the simplest things.
"What's wrong?" Sean asked.Gwen also noticed that Kirk wasn't in a good mood. She asked, "Is it about Carol?"Kirk glanced at them and said calmly, "It's nothing. Don't tell Carrie anything if you hear something on the phone. She's been tired all day, and I want her to rest."Gwen and Sean looked at each other and nodded obediently.When Caroline yelled that dinner was ready, everyone enthusiastically set the table with plates and cutlery. "Eat up," Caroline said. She was the last to sit down.Kirk was the first to move. He picked up a piece of halibut and put it on Caroline's plate. "Good job, darling."Caroline glared at him. She said, "Sean and Gwen are still here."Gwen and Sean said in unison, "Don't worry about us. We'd rather eat crap than let him give us food."Caroline couldn't help laughing at how in tune they were with each other. "It seems that Sean's probation will be over pretty soon."Sean said proudly, "Look, Kirk, Carrie has a way with her words."The four
Kirk looked at Caroline, feeling bad for her. But he had to let her go. If he wanted to keep Caroline by his side, he had to make her stronger. In this world, only love between two equal people could last.Kirk kissed her forehead and asked, "When all of this is over, I'll buy you a gift. It can be whatever you want."Caroline thought for a moment before saying, "I haven't thought of what I want yet. I'll let you know when I do.""Okay."Caroline left her house with a smile. As soon as she reached the door, she put on a mask and frowned as if she were really sad.When Kirk saw her actions from the window, he wanted to chuckle.As Caroline approached the car, she noticed two other cars parked behind Jack's. She got into the car cautiously and asked Jack, "Mr. Jack, why are there two cars behind us?"Jack was getting better at lying now. He said smoothly, "The company saw many people slandering you online. They were worried about your safety, so they sent some bodyguards to prot
