Chapter 550

Author: Shining Riviera
After all, Jude was Kirk's uncle. How could Kirk lie to him?

"Grandpa," Eddy reminded again lowly.

Thomas quickly said to Howard, "Mr. Collins, where's your wife? Why hasn't she come downstairs yet? Kirk's here already, too. Does she want everyone to wait for her?"

Howard chuckled and said, "Hardly. I'll have someone call her down right now."

As he said this, he waved one of the employees over. "Hurry up and ask the madam to come downstairs."

The employee rushed upstairs.

However, many minutes later, Jane still didn't show up.

Howard frowned and quietly had someone go upstairs to rush her.

Then, he said to the crowd, "Everyone, please take a seat. Women are quite difficult, always having to put on makeup, change, and all that. I'm sorry for making you all wait."

The attendees smiled in understanding and went to take their assigned seats.

Throughout this time, Kirk remained expressionless.

Damien used this golden opportunity to raise a glass to Kirk.

He said, "Mr. Kirk,

    The man was so scared that he started shaking. He stumbled away, looking like he was running for his life. Seeing this, Howard's eyebrow twitched. A bad feeling grew in his gut. A wicked look flashed in Kirk's eyes as he sat in the middle of the couch.Howard braced himself and laughed as he faced the crowd. "Let me go up for a look. You can all chat. Don't mind us …"As he spoke, he stumbled upstairs, nearly tripping a few times. When he got to the second floor, he looked around at the empty master bedroom and strode over to the butler. Lowering his voice, he questioned, "Where's the madam?"The butler instantly went down on his knees. "Sir, the madam … She hasn't been back since she went out yesterday. I've been trying to contact her all this time, but I didn't manage to get through to her."Howard kicked the butler in the chest. "You useless fool. Why are you telling me such an important piece of news now?"The butler clutched his chest. "Sir, I sent people out to search

    "Sir, she's not upstairs either."The police captain frowned as he looked at Howard. "Mr. Collins, may I ask where your wife is?"Howard replied, "I don't know.""Please cooperate with us in this investigation.""I really don't know.""Then when was the last time you saw your wife?""Yesterday." Howard's voice was trembling as he said this."So you mean that she hasn't been back since yesterday?" The police officer glanced at Howard. "Do you know what she went out to do yesterday?""I don't."The second officer said, "Yesterday, your wife went out and abducted Ms. Caroline Evans ..."Howard's face paled at those words. Enraged, he raised his voice. "I told you that I don't know anything. I don't! Do you have any proof? You're just slandering her!""We do have proof," the policeman said calmly. "Yesterday, we arrested more than ten bodyguards under the Collins family's employ. According to their statements, they were following your wife's orders to cause harm to Ms. Eva

    Outside the door, Kirk was just about to drive off when Jude rushed out of the Collinses' residence with Eddy's help.Kirk's eyes narrowed.In that short moment, Jude managed to reach the car and started knocking on the window.Kirk tilted his chin, signaling for the driver to open the door.The driver got out of the car and opened the door.Looking at Kirk inside the car, Jude smiled. "Kirk, do you mind if we get a ride in your car?""Of course not. Please do get in, Uncle Jude."Kirk extended a hand to help Jude into the car. Once Jude was settled in, Eddy got into the front passenger seat.After he was settled in as well, Eddy hurriedly asked, "Uncle Kirk, what was all that just now? What happened to Caroline?"When Eddy had heard that Jane was involved in an abduction and murder case and that the target was Caroline, his heart had started beating wildly. Now, he couldn't help but ask Kirk about it.Kirk expended all his effort to control his expression. He said indiffer

    Jude's expression changed as he sat up straight. "Oh? Are these two incidents related?""After Brie lost her mind, the Collins family has been wanting to make a move against Caroline to avenge her. I also only found out about this inadvertently. "Back then, she was on the outs with her family. I was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it since she was a woman all on her own. "That's why I partnered with Collins Group. It was with the condition to let Caroline off."Jude kept staring into Kirk's eyes as he said, "Can I ask why you did that?"Kirk was also looking at Jude, no longer avoiding him. He admitted it straightforwardly, saying, "Of course. I did that because I like Caroline."At these words, Jude's expression shifted drastically. He inhaled deeply and said, "You're finally admitting it."Kirk replied, "I have nothing to admit to.""But she's …"In the front passenger seat, Eddy didn't notice that there was a disagreement going on in the back. He turned his

    After a moment, Kirk suddenly let out a soft noise. He seemed afraid of angering Jude. "Caroline is only in her 20s now. She has a long road in front of her. Eddy only took up about 20 years of her life. However, I can take up the next 30, 40, 50 or more years of her life …"As expected, Jude was incandescent when he heard these words. His eyes were burning with fury as he asked, "So you're determined to be with Carrie no matter what?""That's right." Kirk gave an affirmative answer.Angry, Jude pushed the door open in a huff and got out of the car.Simon was already waiting by the car. Seeing Jude getting out, he went up to help his employer. However, Jude shoved Simon aside in annoyance.Eddy could tell that Jude was angry and quickly rushed up. "Grandpa, what's—"Kirk eyed the closed door and said to the driver, "Take me home."Getting his orders, the driver departed Morrison Manor.Inside Morrison Manor, Jude walked into the study, with Eddy following closely behind. "G

    "Why do you say that, sir?""If I hadn't forced Eddy so hard to marry Carrie, the two of them might have gotten together long ago."Simon didn't understand. He asked, "Sir, this …""That child is a stubborn one. The more you force him to drink, the more he won't. Why didn't I realize this before?"Now that Jude had mentioned it, Simon found it true as well. "That's right. You always had to expend so much effort to get Mr. Eddy to visit Ms. Evans. But when you purposely went against him just now, he went right off."Jude sighed heavily before saying, "Though I know my intentions are good, I feel like I'm doing something bad. It seems like I will have to do everything the opposite way from now on."Simon consoled him. "But sir, haven't you simply found the right method of doing things? I'm sure that Mr. Eddy will soon realize how much he cares for Ms. Evans.""I might not have that long." Jude got up and walked to the window. "Lately, I feel so weak. I won't die happy if I don

    In the next instant, Kirk gripped Jane's chin. It hurt so much that the pain spread from her jaw all the way down her body. Her face twisted into a scowl at the feeling.As she frowned, she finally managed to take a good look at Kirk's face."Who in the world are you?" Jane squeezed out with difficulty. "Don't you know who I am? Don't you know who my husband is? Hurry up and let me go, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death."Sitting next to her, Liam gulped in fear at this. But soon, he became arrogant as well. "The woman sitting next to me is Mrs. Collins. The other is Mrs. Morrison. "Do you know the Morrison family? They're the most influential family in all of Easton! Also, she's not just Mrs. Morrison, but the wife of Mr. Eddy's second uncle."Liam explained, "Mr. Eddy's second uncle, the one who came back from overseas! Do you know how powerful he is? "He was in Sarcozia, on someone else's turf, and built the top corporation there in just a few years—SY Group! "

    Jane was also frightened. She said fearfully, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Kirk. We have never seen you before, so we didn't know who you were. This is just a misunderstanding. Please let us off."Kirk sneered. "You almost killed Caroline. Do you think I'll let you both live?"Jane could hear the malice in his words, and she felt a chill run down her spine. However, she didn't understand why he valued Caroline so much. Wasn't she just a former potential granddaughter-in-law Jude liked?"Sir, there are some things you may not understand. Although your uncle, Mr. Morrison Senior, likes Caroline very much, she's already married to someone else. "She isn't affiliated with the Morrisons anymore. You can ask Dr. Yates if you don't believe me. Caroline is already married."Sean was amused by Jane's cluelessness about the situation. He asked, "Didn't Ms. Dawson tell you who Caroline's husband is?"Jane looked at Daphne and noticed her body trembling. She questioned, "Daph, do you know who C

    Soon, Kirk and Caroline met up with Thomas. When he saw the two of them, his eyes turned bloodshot from the rage boiling within him. "You won!" He spat with so much force that it seemed like he had used up all his strength for it. "Things didn't have to come to this," Kirk said calmly as he sat down beside Thomas. Thomas snorted derisively. "Oh really? If you hadn't chosen to marry Caroline at such short notice, do you think Eddy would have died? You two were the cause of the tragedy!" Caroline didn't feel like talking anymore after seeing how foolishly adamant Thomas was. She gave Kirk a look, and he hummed in acknowledgment. When he turned to face Thomas again, his eyes were frosty "I'm here to tell you something," he said.Thomas let out a bark of scornful laughter. "Why? What else do you have to tell me, huh? Are you going to tell me that you have a child now?" "It's not about me and Caroline's child. It's about yours," Kirk stated plainly as he stared at Thomas

    "Yes, it's true! Why would I lie to you about something so important?" Betty said. "This is wonderful! Marietta's wish has finally come true." Caroline turned to look at Marietta, who had just stopped by the door. Marietta was so shocked by the results that she was too stunned to speak. All she did was stare at Caroline in silence. Caroline opened her lips to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. She and Marietta stood facing each other, tears streaming down their cheeks. The next second, the two of them rushed toward each other and hugged each other as tightly as they could. The words that were at the tip of their tongues turned into tears at this significant moment. The others felt touched as they witnessed the mother-daughter duo's reunion. After some time, Betty broke the silence. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her 'Mom'!"Caroline had once used that word to address Marietta, but she hadn't known that Marietta was her biological mother back then.

    Blushing, Caroline nodded. However, Kirk couldn't lift his head due to his injuries. So, Caroline took the initiative to bend over so that she was closer to him. Their lips touched. Yet before Caroline could get that warm, fuzzy feeling she always had when they kissed, she heard Gwen's voice. "Oh? Did we come at the wrong time?" Gwen grinned.It gave Caroline such a shock that she almost fell to the ground. Cheryl reacted quickly and gave Caroline an arm to hold on to for support. Steadying herself, Caroline stared daggers at Gwen, who giggled and placed the supplements she had brought on a table. Sean and Kirk started discussing what had happened that day, while Caroline led Gwen and Cheryl out of the ward. "Are you two back together?" Gwen asked. There was a sparkle in her eyes, which said enough about how eager she was to gossip. When Caroline nodded, Gwen patted her back gleefully and said, "Great! We all know how much Kirk loves you, even though he kept his ident

    As Caroline mentally prepared to face death, there was a sudden, loud commotion. The noise was followed by gusts of wind that were so strong that no one could pry their eyes open to see what was going on. Still, Caroline could make out the silhouette of a helicopter above her. She had no idea what had happened next, though. …When she woke up, she was already lying on a bed in a ward. Beside her were Betty and Marietta, their eyes red and puffy from crying. When they noticed that Caroline was awake, the two of them shot up from their chairs."Carrie? You're finally awake!" Still groggy, Caroline forced herself to hum in response. After getting up, she grabbed Betty's hand and said, "Where's Kirk?" "He's fine," said Betty while wiping the tears off her cheeks. "He's in another ward, but he hasn't woken up yet." "Can I see him?" Caroline asked, tearing up. Betty nodded and asked Sean to push Caroline's wheelchair to the ward next door. Caroline couldn't hold back her

    Kirk and Caroline hadn't even caught their breaths yet when they sensed a more intense attack coming their way. It didn't seem like these people were human. They seemed like monsters, bringing destruction wherever they went. Caroline watched the situation outside in concern. "Why hasn't Nightshade come back yet? Did he lie to us?" she asked. Kirk gritted his teeth and replied, "No, he wouldn't. They're all people from the dark web, and they're all honorable. Since he promised to bring the top two assassins, he'll definitely come back."As he spoke, he pushed her into a car. "But before that, you have to leave first," he insisted.Caroline noticed that his words were only directed at her. She grabbed his hand tightly. "What do you mean by that?"What did he mean she had to leave first?He replied, "Finn has sent over all his trump cards. If you don't leave, I have no doubt that he'll come here too. So, you need to leave now!" Caroline grabbed his hand. "We haven't gone to Ci

    When she saw his reaction, Caroline couldn't help but smile. "What I mean is, let's head to City Hall to re-register our marriage certificate. The information we used to register our marriage before was all fake. "Can we update it with the real information now?"Kirk brightened up. "No problem."She looked at him and smiled again. However, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "Oh, I forgot about Thomas. Do you think he'll send someone to ambush us when we go to City Hall?"Kirk fell silent. He didn't want to change the plans, but he still said, "Then, let's wait for Nightshade to find the assassins—"Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out from downstairs. His face dropped, and he rushed to the window, where he saw two groups of people engaged in a gunfight. One of the groups was Thomas' men."What's going on?" Caroline asked as she got up from bed."Thomas must have found out that Nightshade left, so he took the chance to ambush us."Kirk led her to a

    "If you make up with Kirk, I'll help you find them both."Caroline and Kirk were stunned to hear Nightshade's condition. Kirk had never expected Nightshade to say such a thing. Caroline was also in disbelief. She felt somewhat reluctant to agree to it."You don't agree?" Nightshade asked when Caroline remained silent. "Alright then, if you disagree, I won't look for them. Besides, Thomas is already planning to go all out against you. "When the time comes, I can escape. But what about you two?"Caroline looked at Kirk. "Thomas plans to go all out against us? You're not lying to me?"Kirk met her eyes and gulped. "No."She pondered for a moment, then looked at Nightshade again. "Do you really have a way to help us find the two assassins?""Of course.""Okay." Caroline lowered her head. "As long as you can help us find those two assassins, I'll agree to your condition."On the other side of the room, Betty and Marietta exclaimed excitedly when they heard her words. "Carrie, do

    When Betty noticed how confused everyone looked, she said, "Oh, dear. Did you all forget?"Back then, when Marietta did the DNA test with that girl from the Hackett family—no, the fake Ms. Hackett—Caroline was the one who went to the restaurant with her."She continued, "Didn't we look through the footage from that day? Then, we called in the people who were at the restaurant that day to do another DNA test."Although they had unfortunately been unable to find Marietta's daughter, Betty still considered it a great effort. "We had thought that we had tested everyone. But there was someone who we didn't test!" Betty's eyes lit up as she looked at Caroline. Marietta immediately understood what she meant. She looked at Caroline with excitement, but she didn't dare to get her hopes up. "Caroline…"Caroline also looked at Marietta excitedly. "I… Aunt Mary… this… Is it possible?"Betty replied, "Why wouldn't it be possible? We tested so many people back then, and you were the only

    Sarah was about to tell Caroline, but Dan stopped her."Don't tell her. Let her live in pain without ever knowing who her real parents are. Besides, do you really think she will get us the best lawyer?"Caroline wasn't upset that they hadn't taken the bait. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face. "You still have some sanity left."Upon realizing her trick, Sarah shouted angrily, "You liar!"However, she was taken away before she could shout more. Caroline watched as Sarah and Dan disappeared in the police cars. The feigned strength on her face finally disappeared. She might never find her parents in this life. But she didn't regret it. She tilted her head and glanced at Kirk, Cheryl, and Jack beside her. She had no regrets anymore.Even though she couldn't get her parents back, she was content that she had so many friends."Let's head back." Caroline's voice was weary. She needed a good rest, but there was still a tough battle waiting for her. The news about Caroline n
