"Y-yes …" Jack was a little confused. Why was Charles so excited? It was as if he had just caught a big fish.On the other end, Charles was getting up. "Thanks.""No, you guys …" Jack started. However, the call had already been cut. Jack was flabbergasted.What was going on?Jack's mind buzzed in chaos. First it was Cheryl, and now it was Charles.…At Morrison Manor, Simon strode quickly into Jude's study. He was in such a rush that he even forgot to knock."Sir, something huge just happened!"Jude had been concentrating on practicing his calligraphy. With Simon's entrance, his interest in it was completely lost. He put down his pen and looked at Simon. "Mr. Zellen, you've been working for me for a long time. When did you become as excitable as a kid?"Simon wiped his face and chuckled. "Sir, it's just that it's too huge and too unexpected.""Oh. Well, if there's something that can even surprise you, let's hear it. What happened?""Someone just reported that they saw Ms.
Seeing that Jude was holding the phone without saying anything, Simon couldn't resist going forward and asking, "Sir …"Jude suddenly came back to himself. After a second, he said, "Prepare the car immediately.""Sir, what's going on?"Jude's face was very twisted up now. "I'm not sure. Let's go over there and see how things go."At this, Simon quickly went out to arrange the car. Later, Jude and Simon both arrived at a hotel. It was all quiet inside, as though it was under lockdown. Jude had just walked in when Charles brought a large group of people out.Jude was stunned at the sight of this.As someone who had been in a high position himself, this used to be the kind of thing he did. Now that he was seeing someone else do it, Jude suddenly got a dissonant feeling. He also felt like the person in charge had changed."This way please, Mr. Morrison Senior." Charles led Jude to the second floor. Soon, they all arrived at the door to the presidential suite. Stepping insi
Kirk had long ago expected that Jude wouldn't approve. He turned to look at Jude and asked, "Why don't you approve, Uncle Jude?"Jude also noticed how exaggerated his reaction was. He explained, "I … What I mean to say is that it might be a little too hasty to divorce now. "I think you should give Daphne another chance. Get to the bottom of what's going on first. It would be bad if you're accusing her of this wrongly.""Uncle Jude, we caught her in the act. What else is there to explain?"Jude looked over at Daphne. He really hated her right then. He despised her for staying there like a brick, not even knowing how to defend herself.There was no way Jude could allow Daphne and Kirk to get divorced. Since Kirk was still married now, he couldn't openly pursue Caroline. But once he was divorced, he could use any methods he wanted to force Caroline to divorce her husband.When the time came, Eddy would have no chance of winning.Jude didn't want the regrets of the past to play o
When the three of them had been in university, they had fallen in love with the same woman.At the beginning, they hadn't realized it. They had even helped each other come up with ideas on how to pursue her.That had only lasted until a get-together where they had pointed at a student on the stage and told each other that they liked her. That had been the moment they had found out.The news had come like a lightning strike out of the blue."When I got to know that we liked the same person back then, I honestly felt like dying." Talking about the past, Jude lost the stern expression on his face. Instead, he looked old and doddery."I didn't know what the two of them were thinking. But seeing as we all split up after that, they must have felt the same way."After finding out that they had been in love with the same woman, they had drifted apart. Although they had agreed to compete fairly, they soon found that the others had been secretly sending gifts. With that, the agreement
"How did you know that? Did your father tell you? Did he tell you anything else?"Kirk looked at Jude, who seemed to be at a loss. Anyone who saw him now would never imagine that he was the revered Mr. Morrison Senior."He only told me her name once." It was lucky that he had a good memory.Jude was momentarily disappointed. "He can really keep his mouth shut."Then, he said, "Where was I? Oh, right. Caroline's grandfather had gotten married, and his bride was the woman both me and your father couldn't forget. "On the day of the wedding, we had gotten into another fight and kept finding fault with each other.""That time, we had argued for more than two whole hours. I had thought that we would go back to how we used to be afterward, not bothering with each other but still remaining under the same roof. "But your father had run away from home the next day."We had looked everywhere in Easton, but we hadn't managed to find him. "It was only the year your grandfather had passe
Hearing Kirk say this, Jude frowned again."Kirk, aren't you asking the obvious? Eddy is a slow one. It took him nearly ten years to figure out that he might like Caroline. If you stick your nose in, he might retreat!"More importantly, there was no way Eddy could beat Kirk!Kirk smiled and said, "I would back down in any other matter, but not this."These words were too familiar. So familiar that it made Jude ache. "Do you have to compete with Eddy on this?"Jude was so mad that he was shaking. "That's right," Kirk said brazenly as he looked into Jude's eyes.Furious, Jude yelled, "Mr. Zellen!"Simon, who had been waiting at the door, came in and said, "Yes, sir!""We're going home!""Yes, sir." Hearing this, Simon knew that their talk had failed. He quickly went up and helped Jude out.Once Jude left, Kirk slowly took a seat. His gaze was cold. Sean came in from the room next door. He patted Kirk on the shoulder and said, "Now Mr. Morrison Senior shouldn't believe that
It was quiet in the room for half a minute before Charles regained his voice. "I … Sir, why don't I have someone dig Ms. Weiss up now?"This would have been easy if they were back in Sarcozia. But in Easton …But this was for Kirk's future happiness!Kirk's tone was indifferent as he said, "Is there enough time?"Charles scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. Kirk stood up. Charles immediately followed after him. "Sir, are you not contacting Ms. Weiss anymore?"Kirk put out his cigar. "What do you think?" he asked.All Charles could do was keep scratching his head. He really didn't know what to say. "Should I still keep looking?" he finally asked.Kirk shot a look at Charles, prompting the former to glance at him in unease.Letting out a mouthful of smoke, Kirk took a few steps before turning back. He said pointedly, "You don't need to get involved in this anymore."Charles was overjoyed as he caught up to Kirk. He buttered him up, saying, "Sir, you're so marvelous. Yo
Caroline was confident that Kirk would be able to showcase his skills if he took control of Mackey Group. After all, he had quite the mind for business."Indeed." Kirk looked brazenly at Caroline's face. He smiled as he asked, "Darling, have you ever thought about switching companies?"Caroline replied, "Of course I have. The problem is that it's not so easy to find a company that fulfills the requirements all of a sudden.""I have a good suggestion."Caroline cast Kirk a sideways glance. She suddenly had a bad feeling in her gut. "You don't mean that overseas company, do you?"She had been thinking of this problem. The best thing for Kirk to do once he quit was to go back to manage that company. But if that was the case, then she and Kirk would have to be in a long-distance relationship.Just thinking about how they would only be able to see each other a few times a year, Caroline felt an ache in her heart.Kirk didn't miss the nervousness in Caroline's eyes. He smiled and
