"Haha, do you feel bad for him?" Eddy's second uncle said in good spirits, "Since you do, don't get divorced.""Sir!"Another wave of pleasant laughter rang out on the phone. "All right, I won't tease you anymore. Kirk is incredibly devoted to you. "Since my problems caused a rift between you two, I won't ask him to pay the penalty. I'm the one who should apologize. I'll properly handle things with Daphne, and I won't cause you any more trouble."Caroline pursed her lips, remaining silent. At first, she wondered if he had used a voice-changer to disguise himself. But she never noticed anything strange, even after talking for so long.She finally put her nervousness in check. It seemed things were exactly as Kirk said. Eddy's second uncle and Daphne had a fake marriage. To make a fake marriage certificate, he had asked Kirk and Daphne to get a real one. So was Daphne the mysterious woman? After learning that her relationship with Kirk was doing fine, Daphne had deliberatel
His eyes were hauntingly dark. The pressure of his gaze made it impossible for her to breathe.Daphne only knew one person who was this intimidating. It was none other than Kirk, her fake husband.Thinking of her fake husband, Daphne instantly felt emboldened, and she wasn't afraid of the man before her anymore."Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?"Kirk shook off Daphne's hand with a sullen look. It was as if he could tear Daphne apart with his glare.Daphne looked Kirk up and down, completely unaware of his hostility. "Oh … If I'm not mistaken, you must be Caroline's husband."The situation would still have been manageable if Daphne hadn't said anything. When she did, Kirk and Caroline both looked at her with chilling glares.However, Daphne didn't notice anything and continued to mock, "I know you! You're Caroline's unsightly husband. You've been married for so long, but you must be very ugly if you don't dare to show your face in public!"Her words made Caroline
Daphne waved her hands, her face filled with fear. When Caroline saw Daphne's reaction, she thought she was acting this scared because they had exposed her plan.Little did she know that Daphne was afraid because Kirk was Caroline's husband! What was she supposed to do? A fraud like her had shown off her nonexistent power everywhere she went. Things wouldn't end well for her.Just as Daphne was about to collapse from fear, Charles ran backstage, panting. "Sir." He noticed the complicated situation and said cautiously, "I've caught Dolly."Kirk glanced at Charles and dragged Daphne to him. "Take her away. Eddy's second uncle said he would deal with her!"When Charles heard that, he immediately understood that Kirk had gotten out of his predicament. His true identity hadn't been revealed.Charles couldn't afford to waste any time. He hurriedly dragged Daphne away. Daphne didn't return to her senses until she was thrown into the car.Just like that, the fiasco backstage ended.
Kirk immediately frowned. Daphne had ripped off his mask just now, so nothing was covering his face at the moment. Helena's fiery gaze sent alarm bells ringing in his head, and a trace of hostility appeared in his eyes.The next second, Helena walked past Caroline and trotted over to Kirk. She asked excitedly, "E-excuse me, sir. Are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?"Her question dumbfounded Kirk. It had been a long time since Helena had seen distinctive facial features like his. He had a masculine and rugged bearing. A person like him would stand out, even in a crowd of people. That was what she wanted from a star.With an impressionable man like Kirk, Helena could guarantee he would become a national celebrity as soon as he debuted. With the emergence of the Internet, people in Easton hadn't seen a national idol for decades. If she could sign Kirk, she would be loaded for the rest of her life.However, Kirk's gaze remained cold and indifferent as he me
Caroline struggled a few times, but she failed to escape his grip. She was about to give up when there was a sharp turn ahead. She lost her balance, falling straight into Kirk's arms. Kirk looked down at her with a warm smile. "Are you throwing yourself into my arms, darling?"Fuming, Caroline pressed on his chest and got up. "Watch your driving, Mr. Jack."In the front seat, Jack quickly replied, "All right. I'm sorry." However, his eyes were on Kirk.While Caroline was distracted, Kirk gave Jack a slight nod. He would give Jack a raise when he got back.After what had happened just now, the atmosphere in the car had changed.Caroline tightly held onto the armrest, but she sat close to the car door. She even took out her phone and browsed through the web to hide her embarrassment. As soon as Caroline opened Twitter, she saw Daphne's post."I never thought I would get the leading role of 'Daughter of the Sea'. I've always liked Ms. Weiss' works, but I never imagined I wou
"Darling …" Kirk said softly.In the front, Jack happened to see Kirk's docile expression in the rearview mirror. The sight shocked him so much that he thought he was seeing things.Caroline frowned and didn't answer Kirk. Instead, she was reading Quentin's investigation report. The report showed that the group of thugs who attacked them were actually Jane's people. Jane was also Brie's mother.Caroline slowly connected the dots in her memories. Back then, she had bumped into Jane and Daphne at the bridal boutique. Although she wasn't directly involved with Brie going insane, there was no doubt the Collins family held a grudge against her.This was where things got strange. After Caroline had returned from visiting Ivan, she had been waiting for the Collins family to come after her. However, they had never given her any trouble, so she had gradually forgotten about it. She hadn't expected Jane to be the mastermind of a seemingly simple robbery.Caroline slowly connected t
Caroline wanted to break away from his grip, but Kirk pinned her hand down. She couldn't move an inch. However, Kirk looked at her innocently. "Right, darling?"Caroline blushed so much that she was about to sweat. "Kirk!""Darling …""Mr. Jack, stop the car!" Caroline ordered.Jack did as he was told.Caroline pointed outside the door. "Hurry up and eat, and get back here when you're done." She really wanted to ask Dolly who had given her the order to deceive her.Kirk objected, "Come with me, darling."Caroline frowned. "Why are you so annoying today?" He was being so clingy! She didn't remember him being this clingy."I'm afraid you'll leave me behind."Caroline was dumbstruck. Under Kirk's pleading gaze, she relented and got out of the car.They walked into a food store. It wasn't time for a meal, so there wasn't anyone in the store.The female owner was delighted to see a handsome man and a beautiful woman in her store. She asked enthusiastically, "What would you li
A shiver ran down Kirk's back as he took out his phone with a smile. "Of course not. You can look through my phone if you want."Caroline observed Kirk's demeanor. After ensuring he wasn't lying, she reached out for his phone. When she looked down, she didn't notice that Kirk's hands were trembling. Caroline was about to ask Kirk for his password when she noticed that Kirk had used a photo of her as his wallpaper. She was surprised. She didn't remember taking this photo. "When did you take this photo?" She asked, showing the photo to Kirk.Kirk smiled. "The first time when we–""Stop," Caroline interrupted, glaring at him. She was afraid of what he was going to say. There were other people in this car.Kirk smiled slightly at her response.Caroline shoved the phone at Kirk, blushing. "Forget it. I changed my mind."Kirk took his phone back. "Are you sure?"Knowing how calm and composed Kirk was, Caroline guessed he had more photos of her on his phone. She didn't want him t
