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
This frightening incident made Jane scream hysterically.Kirk cast an indifferent glance at the group of gnats in the room, then slowly walked out of the villa.Seeing this, Sean followed his friend. When he arrived at the door, he immediately inhaled the fresh air. He handed Kirk a cigarette. "How are you going to deal with those three?"Kirk narrowed his eyes. He sniffed the cigarette and said calmly, without a hint of emotion, "We'll do what is necessary."We'll hand over whoever the police need and bury away whatever we need to. But … we have to keep Daphne around.""Why? You can't bear to see her get hurt?" Sean asked jokingly.Kirk massaged his temples. "That old man suspects that I'm Caroline's husband.""You mean Mr. Morrison Senior?""Yeah."Sean immediately panicked. "If he finds out the truth, he'll definitely tell Caroline your identity. When that happens—"Kirk had just gotten out of his predicament. He couldn't get into trouble again.Kirk said, "That's why w
Gwen continued, "After all, he isn't Eddy's second uncle. Am I right, Carol?"After hearing her words, Caroline stopped trying to get out of bed. But soon, she felt uneasy and tried to get up again. Fortunately, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.Gwen said happily, "See? I told you he would be back soon." Then, she yelled at the door, "Quit knocking and come in here. Carol is eager to see you."Eddy, who opened the door and entered, was stunned when he heard Gwen's words. He glanced at Caroline, his cheeks strangely beginning to turn warm.When the three women saw Eddy come in, their expressions shifted."Why is it you?" Gwen asked, dumbfounded. But Eddy didn't hear Gwen at all. He kept his eyes on Caroline. He probably hadn't seen Caroline for a long time. He felt his emotions swell when he saw her today. Despite being unwell, Caroline didn't come off as weak at all. Instead, she looked beautiful, even when she was sick. She looked gentle and delicate, quick
Seeing his dejected expression, Caroline continued, "Perhaps you don't want to admit the truth. Maybe you don't want to face the fact that you lost to someone whose status and wealth aren't as good as yours."Eddy's expression turned even darker at her words. "Enough, Caroline! I was nice enough to visit you. I'm not here to listen to your lectures.""Then, you've already visited me. Can you please leave?"Usually, Eddy would turn around and leave at this point. However, this time, his legs seemed to be rooted to the ground. He didn't move a single inch. After taking several deep breaths, he said, "Although I failed you as a fiancé, you don't have to be so hostile every time we meet. Perhaps we can still be friends."Caroline had already closed her eyes.Seeing this, Eddy frowned. "Or are you planning to skip being friends and be spouses again?"Caroline remained silent."I-I mean, it's not impossible." Eddy frowned and explained, "But I have to settle things with Layla fi
After Caroline was done, she looked at Eddy with a raised brow. She continued, "Do you get it now? My husband is a hero to me, and our marriage is doing very, very well. "It's not something people like you can understand. So please don't try to drive a wedge between us anymore. You're just wasting your breath."Eddy looked at Caroline. All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. Then, he spat, "Caroline, I'm saying this for your own good. No matter what, I hope you can properly think this through. Don't be stubborn!"With that, he turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he turned back around. "By the way, I forgot to tell you something."Caroline looked at him and asked, "What is it?""Grandpa has been in bad health recently. You should visit him more often if you have time. Also, he really hopes we can be together, so I hope you won't say such hurtful words when you see him."Caroline pursed her lips. After a while, she said, "I'll make sure to visit
After leaving the hospital, Eddy's mood still didn't get better. He felt as if he had lost something important. He wanted to turn around and get it back, but he couldn't find anything. This negative feeling persisted, and there was no way for him to get rid of it.Meanwhile, Kirk opened the door to the hospital room. "Darling."When Caroline heard noises, she immediately looked up and put down her phone. "You're back! Where did you go? Are you hurt?"Caroline's concern made Kirk curl his lips into a smile. He sat down by the bed and wrapped an arm around her waist. "Did you miss me that much? It's only been a while since I left."Caroline's hospital gown was very thin. When Kirk placed his warm hand on her waist, she felt her cheeks quickly turn red from his touch. She lowered her head and said bashfully, "As if I missed you.""I can't believe you're still trying to be stubborn. Who was the one who said our marriage was doing well and no one could break us apart?"Carolin
Kirk would always be there for her. Caroline slowly dozed off in his arms. In her sleep, she dreamed that she was the mother of three children, all of whom were very beautiful and lovable. They would surround her and call her 'mommy'. She gradually lost herself in their affectionate calls.Just as she was consumed with joy, the three children suddenly grew up. Each of them held a knife in their hand, pointing it at her. Their cute expressions were replaced with ferocious ones.One by one, they shouted, "It's all because of you that we ended up like this.""You didn't raise us well.""Hurry up and give us some money, you old hag!"Caroline opened her eyes in fright. Her sudden movements naturally woke up Kirk as well. He looked down at Caroline and asked, "What's wrong, darling?"Caroline looked up at Kirk in confusion before shaking her head. "Nothing. I just had a nightmare."Kirk said, "I'll get you some water.""No, it's fine." Caroline urgently grabbed Kirk's hand.
