Daphne held the phone in shock. She couldn't believe her ears. Then, after realizing what happened, she ran around with the phone in her hand, screaming, "Ah! Mr. Kirk is coming to my banquet! Yeah!"Her manager heard her screams. After Daphne was done expressing her excitement, her manager asked, "Is Mr. Kirk really coming?""That's right." Daphne had told everyone that Kirk might attend the banquet because she hadn't thought he would actually come. Moreover, she was already prepared. If anyone asked her why Kirk wasn't at the banquet, she could use his work as an excuse. She had called him just now to gauge his mood. Unexpectedly, Kirk had really agreed to come.But wait a minute! The voice on the phone didn't sound like Charles'. The thought briefly crossed Daphne's mind, but she quickly forgot about it. She jumped down from the couch and hurried to the dressing room. "Call the makeup team here immediately. I have to look my best today."Kirk and Sean's wife would be atten
Jack noticed that Caroline often zoned out nowadays. At first, he thought she was thinking about something. However, she had been lost in thought several times, even when she arrived home. He had to remind her that she was home before she got out of the car.Only then did Jack realize that something was off with Caroline. However, he didn't dare contact Kirk so soon. He was still scared from the time when things had almost been exposed.Caroline sniffled. "I'm fine."Jack wanted to pry further, but Caroline changed the subject. "By the way, did you and Cheryl get along while I was away?"At the mention of Cheryl, a smile appeared on Jack's face. "Cheryl is pretty good, and her cooking is top-notch. I even gained a bit of weight during this period of time."Caroline smiled brightly at his words. "That's great."Jack was puzzled by her words, but Caroline had already left the car to get her dress. So he had to stay in the car and wait quietly. This Porsche 911 was really fun to d
Listening to their mocking laughs, Daphne finally relieved some of the anger she had pent up from the incident in the bridal boutique. Hence, she didn't say anything in Caroline's defense, even though she knew Caroline was Sean's wife and someone she couldn't afford to upset. After all, she wasn't the one mocking her. Daphne felt more at ease thinking about this.Noticing the smile that Daphne tried to suppress, the man felt encouraged to act even bolder. "You must not have attended a grand banquet like this for a long time, right, Ms. Evans? That makes sense. Since you got married, you can't attend the Morrisons' banquets anymore. You've cut ties with the upper class. Oh, the last time I saw you was at Mr. Morrison Senior's birthday …"The man cast a disdainful glance at Caroline once more. After noticing that Caroline's dress wasn't branded, he laughed even more brazenly. "Tsk, Tsk. As expected, you can't live well without the Morrisons. Look at the dress you're wearing. It
That was probably why Kirk had been so anxious the entire trip.Although Kirk only frowned, as someone who had worked for him for many years, Charles knew how dangerous and terrifying he was at this moment.If Daphne was really involved in Kirk's identity getting leaked, her life would be extremely miserable from now on. Charles became concerned about what might happen next.When the car stopped at the door of the villa, Kirk opened the car door and stepped out. When Daphne's manager saw Kirk, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over to greet him. She could feel the deathly air around him before she even got close. "Hello, sir." She trembled, not daring to look up at Kirk's face.Kirk walked around the manager and toward the door. Whenever he came to see Daphne, he would definitely wear a mask and sunglasses when he knew there were many people around. Because if one of these people knew Caroline, he would be at risk of being exposed.But none of that mattered now. His identi
Daphne was confused by his words. "What?"Kirk had already lost his patience. He turned to Charles and ordered, "Pull the circuit breaker."The villa's main circuit box was just a short distance from the door. Charles walked over there in a few steps and turned off the main power switch.In an instant, the bright villa was plunged into darkness. Everyone in the living room panicked, screaming and running away. However, one minute later, light returned to the estate.The first thing Daphne saw when she regained her sight was Kirk wearing a mask and sunglasses. She was dumbfounded at the sight. Ignoring her questioning look, Kirk opened the door and entered the home.When everyone saw Kirk, who was disguised more thoroughly than a celebrity, their eyes widened in shock.Someone asked with concern, "Ms. Daphne, is this your husband?"Daphne swallowed. "Y—yes.""Then, what is he …"Daphne didn't know why Kirk had suddenly disguised himself. She smiled awkwardly and tried to come
In the past few days, Kirk had tried every way to talk with Caroline more. Yet, ironically, using his true identity allowed Caroline to speak with him freely. "Hello." He swallowed, trying to suppress the burning emotions in his chest. He didn't want to scare Caroline off again."Thank you for helping me many times. When are you free? I would like to treat you to a meal." Caroline didn't notice anything unusual about Kirk at all.He dug his fist a little deeper into the couch. He gritted his teeth, his jaw tightening as he answered, "Any time."Caroline didn't expect Kirk to be so easygoing. She smiled and asked, "Then, can I add your number on WhatsApp?" She could ask him some business questions if she had his number on WhatsApp.The fire in Kirk's eyes burned even brighter at her words. He dug his fingers deep into the flesh of his palm, the pain making him retain the last bit of his sanity. "Okay," he forced out.Caroline blinked, thinking that Kirk was getting impatient. S
Just as Caroline was about to reach the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she heard a deep, mature voice behind her again. "Caroline!"Caroline's body shook at his voice. For a moment, she really thought it was Kirk calling her.However, after calming down, she could clearly tell that the voices of Kirk and Eddy's second uncle were different. Although their voices had the same magnetic allure, Kirk sounded more casual, while Eddy's second uncle sounded more mature and authoritative.She took a deep breath and turned around. She asked, "Is there anything else, sir?"Kirk didn't answer Caroline's question. Instead, he looked at Daphne's manager and ordered, "Get a few people to bring the gifts in."When Daphne heard there were gifts, she immediately smiled.Everyone else also expressed their envy."You're so doting to your wife! I'm so jealous!"Among all the excitement, Caroline stood at the door, bewildered. Since Kirk didn't say anything, she didn't dare leave. Howe
Kirk had prepared so many gifts for an outsider like Caroline, but he hadn't prepared a single one for Daphne. Everyone looked at each other, finding the turn of events outrageous.Basically, Caroline had a higher place in Kirk's heart than Daphne. The people who had ridiculed Caroline just now trembled at this outcome. They hurriedly took out their phones and sent apologetic messages to Caroline. They said they hadn't meant to insult her and hoped that she would forgive them.Caroline had no intentions of dealing with those people at the moment. All her attention was on the gifts next to her.She was really puzzled. Why would Eddy's second uncle give her a bunch of gifts?If he had given them sooner, she could chalk it up as him doing it for Eddy's sake. However, it had been so long since she broke off her engagement with Eddy. No matter how late his second uncle had found out about this, he should still know about it.…Because of what happened with the gifts, the banquet e
