"What?" Caroline took a step back and interrupted Kirk. "Enough. If you're still hesitating at this point, I doubt you're going to tell the truth. "How about this? I'll give you time to think about it. Once you come up with a lie, you can come and see me again."After saying that, Caroline picked up her luggage and strode downstairs. Kirk caught up to her when she reached the doorway."Where are you going? I'll drop you off." Kirk gripped Caroline's wrist as he begged sincerely.The words to reject him stuck in Caroline's throat. They wouldn't come out, no matter how hard she tried. She squeezed her eyes shut. Seeing that Caroline wasn't rejecting him, Kirk let her go and put her luggage in the trunk. In the car, Caroline didn't say anything more than "Take me home". She didn't want to speak to Kirk, and she didn't have the energy to talk anyway. Kirk wanted to say something more, but Caroline had already slammed the door closed on him. He could only stand there withou
In the end, Cheryl didn't dare ask about it. She was afraid that Jack had only said that he had let go of his feelings because he wanted to keep staying by Caroline's side. Meanwhile, Daphne found out that Caroline had signed with Sonia while she was playing cards with Jane. The second she heard that the celebrity was a no-name one, her expression went dark.The two wealthy ladies sitting with them were friends Jane had brought to play with them. Seeing Daphne's expression change, one of them asked in concern, "What's wrong, Ms. Dawson?"Daphne had to try very hard to keep from bursting into curses right then and there. "It's about work. I have to deal with it for a moment." As she said this, she strode toward the villa's entrance. Her manager chased after her.At the door, Daphne couldn't hold it in anymore. "What does Caroline mean by this? Is she trying to tell me that I'm nothing compared to some no-name celebrity?"Daphne's manager was sweating. She didn't really understan
When Caroline got back to the apartment, she stayed on the couch without moving. She didn't think of anything, nor did she do anything. She simply stared at the ceiling in a daze. But she was still in great anguish. It felt like her heart was being stabbed and cut by countless knives, over and over again.Sometimes, she hurt so badly that she could barely breathe. She even thought that the pain might torture her so much that she would die. But she didn't. She remained alive.Caroline could distinctly feel each wave of pain in every heartbeat as she breathed. Caroline hugged her knees and curled up into a ball. She tried to recall the pain from her breakup with Eddy in order to cover up the pain she felt now. But it was in vain because she had long ago forgotten the pain Eddy had brought her.When she couldn't withstand the pain in her heart, Caroline thought of drinking to get rid of the suffering.Caroline dragged her heavy body and hailed a cab to head to a bar. The bar
Caroline was somewhat furious. She raised a hand and slapped the man. "Get out! Get the fuck out! I never want to see you again!"The man who got hit froze. He looked at the man beside him in shock. His friend was stunned as well. He said, "Ignore her. Let's just take her away."After he said this, the two men went forward to grab Caroline. The bar was packed and noisy, so no one noticed what was going on in this corner. Once the men got Caroline out of the bar, a car drove over. The two men rapidly shoved Caroline into the car and sped off.Right then, in an Audi not far away, Sean suddenly straightened in his seat. "Was that person just now Caroline?"Kirk was already starting the car, his expression cold. He must have seen it too.In the other car, the two men were about to make a move on Caroline. "Ah, what a beautiful woman! I was expecting she would be another ugly duckling. Ouch! She's a fierce one. She pinched me!"Caroline had no clue that she was in deep danger at t
In the backseat, Caroline didn't stay put, even though she had been secured into the seat with the seat belt. She unconsciously hit the seat of the car, acting like a child throwing a tantrum without an outlet. Kirk had no choice but to stop the car by the side of the road. He got out of the car and undid his tie, revealing his delicate collarbones.Once the wind blew away the heat of his desire, he bent down and opened the door to stare at Caroline in the backseat. Suddenly being stared at, the drunk Caroline blearily stared at Kirk. She opened her red lips, which were as enticing as ripened fruit. Kirk swallowed with difficulty. He brushed a finger across Caroline's lips and smiled. "Do you know how seductive you are like this?"Kirk's Adam's apple bobbed as he reached out to touch Caroline's face. His crumbling rationality unraveled completely. He bent down, one hand holding the car door, putting his lips over Caroline's. This made Kirk's roiling feelings finally calm. J
The three poor souls were once again thrown into the pool. They swallowed water, then got pulled up again. This repeated over and over again.Until Kirk finally got there.Once Kirk arrived, the three men felt the threat of death looming above them. For a moment, they didn't want to be pulled out of the water again. They even wanted to pass away right there in the pool.But things didn't always happen the way they wanted them to.The three were mercilessly pulled out of the water and dumped in a heap before Kirk. Meanwhile, Kirk played with the knife in his hand, not even looking at the three men. But the men were terrified by this and started frantically begging for their lives. "Sir, we were blind to offending you. Please let us go. We'll never do it again!"The three men groveled and begged to show their sincerity.Kirk caressed the blade and said coldly, "Who sent you?"The three started denying it immediately. "No, we only targeted her because we thought she was prett
Caroline stayed up until the afternoon before driving to the bar. The bar had just opened, so only a few workers were bustling about. The bar workers were in a dilemma when Caroline demanded to see last night's surveillance footage.Caroline raised an eyebrow. "Some strange men took me away yesterday, and I was almost assaulted. If I call the police about this, it'll affect your bar's reputation, won't it?"The bar worker said shakily, "I—I'll let my manager know about your situation."A few minutes later, the worker returned with a man. The man smiled. "Hello, Miss. I'm this bar's manager. You want to see the surveillance footage, right? Please come with me!"The manager led Caroline to the surveillance room. "Which time do you want to check out?"Caroline told him the time. The workers in the surveillance room immediately pulled out the surveillance footage of the time she mentioned. Caroline quickly noticed the two men on the video. She took screenshots of their faces and
Caroline was even secretly glad she hadn't said no in the first place. Otherwise, she would have come across as a narcissist who thought every man loved her."Of course. Please come in." She made way for Adrian and poured him a glass of water before opening the files.While Caroline looked through the documents, Adrian took the chance to look around Caroline's home. It didn't look big, but the furnishings were in perfect order, forming a warm and simple atmosphere. What made Adrian the happiest was the fact that there weren't any traces of a man in her home."These two went missing?" Caroline spoke up, pulling Adrian away from his thoughts.Adrian said thoughtfully, "Yes. After they entered the bar last night, they never came back out." Then, he asked curiously, "By the way, why do you want to investigate them all of a sudden?"Adrian looked at the two men's information and noticed they also had an accomplice. All three of them had bad records. They often had sex with women
