"Kirk, where are you now?" Sean asked. Stopping in his tracks, Kirk glanced up at the building before him and said in a lowered voice, "The old villa."The word "villa" was all it took for Sean to know exactly where Kirk was.It was the place Kirk had purchased right after coming back to Easton to settle the urgent matter regarding Caroline. After being captured, Howard had also been sent to the old villa. Hence, Kirk had probably gone back there to see Howard. Figuring this out, Sean quickly told him, "Don't go and see Howard. Caroline, Gwen, and I were supposed to meet at Mayflower Square, but she changed routes on her way here."Sean continued, "She isn't here yet. I'm afraid that something happened to her." "What?" Kirk already had a hand on the doorknob, but he turned around right after hearing Sean's words. He was about to tell Sean something when he heard the guard's voice. "Missus, I've told you that this is an old residential area," said the guard. "No one com

Looking as pale as a sheet, Caroline pushed through the door. That villa right there was …Ignoring the chauffeur, Caroline swept her eyes around the house. It was an old and unfurnished villa. There was dust everywhere. She could even see footsteps on the ground. The footsteps were clear, so the person they belonged to probably came in here not long ago.She glanced at the footsteps and thought that the person's shoe size was similar to Kirk's "Carol, is Kirk here?" Gwen asked after entering the villa and seeing the footsteps. "He probably is." Caroline took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She then followed the footsteps forward. Soon, they saw a basement. Its door was open. Panic washed over Gwen, and she gripped Caroline's hand. "Carol, this place gives me the creeps. It could be dangerous here. We shouldn't head in." Caroline considered the suggestion and said, "You can stay outside. I'll go in there alone. If I don't come back up after half an hour—"

"I thought it was just a prank. I had nothing to lose anyway, so I came here to see for myself," said Kirk. "I didn't expect to meet you two here. How did you know about this place?" "Says the perpetrator," Gwen complained. "Why didn't you tell Carol that you came here for Howard? Why did you lie by telling her that you were on a business trip?"You made us think that you're up to no good again." Gwen wasn't pleased. Hearing this, Kirk turned to Caroline to apologize to her. "Sorry, darling. It's not that I didn't want to tell you about it. I was just afraid that you would …"It dawned on Gwen that she had misunderstood Kirk all this time. Howard was the person who had caused Jude's death, while Caroline had witnessed the entire thing. She hadn't even recovered from the trauma that Howard had caused her. So seeing Howard was akin to sending her on a trip down memory lane to the day of Jude's death. Gwen regretted her decision terribly. She shouldn't have brought Caroline

"You might not have met him," said Gwen. "But he might've seen you lots of times before. Think about it." She counted her fingers and added, "Besides the incident related to Howard last time, he even helped you with the PR problem during Mr. Morrison Senior's banquet back then. "Why would he keep an eye on you if he had no feelings for you?" Caroline knitted her brows. Gwen's words made sense. After all, nothing came for free, and no one would be so kind for no reason at all."But you shouldn't worry about it too much." Gwen continued, "You're attending Mr. Morrison Senior's funeral soon, right? You'll get to see Eddy's second uncle there."By then, you can poke around and be discreet when you ask him about it," said Gwen. "If we overthink things, you'll just have to avoid him in the future. If he has eyes for you, though, you would have to hurry and ask Kirk to resign." "I know." Caroline nodded to show her understanding. Gwen patted her on the shoulder to reassure h

"Just kill me, will you? Please, Kirk! Just kill me!" Kirk watched as Howard begged for mercy. He felt as though he were watching a lowlife squirm and wail in agony, and he sneered at Howard. Just then, they heard the sounds of police sirens coming from outside. Howard's eyes shone with hope. "Caroline must've called the police," he said. "You deserved it! It's all because you didn't tell her the truth about your identity. She didn't know that you were the one who abducted me. So now, the police are here." Despite Howard's taunts, Kirk merely stared down at him as if he were a pathetic person. Slowly, he said, "Those are my men."His words shattered Howard's illusion of hope. Howard's eyes turned wide in disbelief as he stared at Kirk. How could Kirk do something like this just so Caroline would believe in him?"Aren't you … afraid of retri—" Howard coughed up blood. "No," came Kirk's reply. "You'd better think it through. Will you be good so you can go to a better plac

When she got home, Caroline finally got to sit down and question Kirk about how he had gotten the injury on his face."I got into a fight.""With who?" Caroline asked, concerned.Kirk was smiling as he handed Caroline a glass of water. "Don't worry. It was some colleagues at the company.""Why did they hit you?" Caroline frowned, thinking that Kirk's colleagues were simply out of control."It's because of a project. Besides, we're all hot-blooded young men. It's typical to get into a fight.""But you've never fought before." Caroline was frowning even deeper as she heard more from Kirk."The project hasn't been going well lately, so it's not surprising that tensions are high.""No, that won't do." Caroline found this situation too dangerous. "I think you should hurry up and quit this job. Your job isn't that simple. Before this, you registered your marriage in place of your boss. Now, you got hit for no reason. You have to quit!"This was all too much."Alright." Kirk alway

Kirk had just entered a high-end wine cellar when a man who looked like the manager walked over. He was friendly as he asked, "Excuse me, are you the man Mr. Thomas Morrison is meeting?"Kirk gave an affirmative answer.The manager replied, "This way, please."Kirk followed the manager to a private room. Soon, he found Thomas inside, tasting wine. When Thomas saw Kirk, he immediately stood up. "You're here."Kirk nodded. Thomas waved. Once the manager left the room, he said, "I know you don't like too many people knowing who you are. That's why I chose this kind of place. Are you happy with it?"Kirk sat down before saying, "Thomas, you didn't invite me out just for some small talk, did you?"In response, Thomas chuckled a bit. "You're too smart, Kirk. I won't beat around the bush with you. Dad's funeral is in two days. Will you be attending it?"Kirk paused. "I'm not sure yet. I'll have to look at my schedule."Thomas said, "Kirk …" After a moment of hesitation, he conti

Sweat beaded on Simon's forehead. Eddy had always been a careless sort. After getting beaten up, he seemed to have become sharper. "Mr. Eddy …" Simon was still pondering how to answer Eddy's question when a crying voice started up."Oh, Eddy, how could you have been beaten up this way?"Seeing Layla throw herself into his arms, still crying, Eddy looked over at Simon, feeling troubled.Simon took this opportunity to say, "Mr. Eddy, Since Ms. Layla is here, I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, you can ring the bell."Before Eddy could say anything, Simon wisely ran off.Now that Simon was gone, Layla was even more uninhibited in the way she held Eddy. "Eddy, who on earth hit you? Are we living in a lawless society now?""Indeed, it's getting lawless here." Eddy was annoyed as he pushed Layla away. "Didn't I already tell you that it's better we stay friends in the future?"Hearing this, Layla cried hard. "E-Eddy, h-how could you say that? What have I done wrong? Can
