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
Adrian didn't want to leave at all. This was a rare opportunity for him to be in the same house as Caroline.Quentin gave Adrian a video call after discovering he was at Caroline's home. He teased, "Not bad, my friend! You managed to stay over at her place so soon.""Keep your voice down!" Adrian nervously glanced at the door of Caroline's room. After making sure there were no noises, he glared at Quentin on the screen. "If you mess this up, I won't have mercy on you." Quentin said disdainfully, "Looking at you like this, you'll definitely be a henpecked husband after you get married.""I don't mind at all. It's none of your business," Adrian retorted."You're a constant ray of sunshine, aren't you? Remember. She isn't divorced yet. "Adrian was about to speak up when he heard the sound of the doorknob turning from the outside."Someone is here. I'll talk to you later." Adrian hung up the phone and walked to the door. He opened it, bumping into Kirk, who was about to open the
As soon as Caroline spoke, she glanced at Kirk, whose expression had turned frosty. However, she didn't feel scared at all. Instead, she felt a sense of retribution. But that feeling left as soon as it came, and she soon realized that the atmosphere was off. She looked at Adrian awkwardly.Adrian was still looking at her, stunned. He probably hadn't expected her to say yes.The scariest thing was the sudden silence in the room. Caroline's cheeks were slightly warm as she lowered her head to drink the beef stew. The atmosphere between the three of them became more and more tense.After finishing their meal, Caroline put down her spoon and found an excuse to return to her room.Adrian had no desire to stick around any longer, so he got up and walked toward the door. Just as he turned the doorknob, he heard Kirk's deep voice behind him. "You're a Sorkin, right?"Adrian looked back at Kirk in confusion. However, Kirk had already turned around and walked to the kitchen after pa
Caroline and Gwen raised their heads at the voice, looking at the newcomer. Seeing that it was Adrian, Caroline was surprised. "What are you doing here?""I'm going on a business trip," Adrian explained. He took the suitcases from Caroline's hands. "Let's go. I'll help you check these in."Caroline and Gwen followed Adrian, each holding one suitcase.Gwen looked at Adrian suspiciously and whispered, "Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Is he really on a business trip?"Caroline said, "It's a small world. Maybe he really is going on a business trip.""But I keep having the feeling that he likes you. Maybe he found out about your whereabouts and showed up here at the right time," Gwen said."I told you, he already has a girlfriend."Gwen still wanted to refute, but Adrian had already handed the large suitcases to the airport staff. Then, he turned around and took Caroline's suitcase."Where are you two going?" Adrian asked."Macovo," Gwen answered first. "What about you?
Adrian didn't want to bring up that man. "I'm not sure, maybe because we haven't gotten any information about Eddy's second uncle. "After all, I heard the Collinses had signed a contract with him, and now they're joining the entertainment industry together."At the mention of Eddy's second uncle, Andrea said, "That man is really mysterious. I guess no one except the Morrisons knows what he looks like." She paused, then continued, "Because his merger of various cosmetic brands was too high-profile, many people thought he was a conspicuous person. "They waited for his official announcement to find out which field of work he would join this time. Unexpectedly, he did all of this under the radar."If SY Group hadn't appeared in several investments, the Sorkins wouldn't have discovered that SY Group and the Collinses were cooperating so much. "It was strange for Eddy's second uncle to be so conspicuous the last time. Keeping a low profile is his preference," Adrian said."That's
