Unfortunately, no one answered the call. In haste, Layla remembered that someone must be working at the bank right now, so she quickly called the bank. Her call was answered almost immediately. "Where's Mr. Donovan? Pass him the phone right now!" How could something like this happen? The man must have a death wish. The staff member on the other end of the line sounded confused. "Mr. Donovan? Nobody here goes by that name." "What?" Layla roared into the phone. "Does he think he can hide for all eternity? Tell him that I'll fire him if he doesn't answer my call!" The staff member was flabbergasted. Still, he replied, "Miss, there's no 'Mr. Donovan' here.""Oh right." He seemed to remember something. "The former chairman's surname is Donovan, but he's been sacked. Just call his number if you have any other questions." With that said, the staff member hung up, leaving Layla staring blankly into space. A while later, a thought occurred to her, and she picked up her phone

"Eddy, you can't treat me like this! You can't … Even if you have no feelings for me, I'm still your savior. You wouldn't have lived to this day without me. You can't treat me like this."Eddy hung up, his face expressionless. Indeed, Layla had saved him once back then, but he had repaid her kindness a lot of times too. He didn't want this to carry on anymore. It was fine if she wanted him to give her money or help her search for a suitor. He couldn't care less about her anymore. Right now, all he wanted to do was be together with Caroline. He had finally realized just how much he loved her. He loved her so, so, so much.He couldn't lose her. He had to take her out of Kirk's grasp. Meanwhile, Layla collapsed onto the ground after suffering multiple blows from the truth bombs Eddy had said. Seeing her reaction, everyone around her knew that the matter regarding Collins Group was now set in stone. There was nothing she could do to change it, so they left her alone in the room.

Kirk couldn't resist it when he saw Caroline pout. Still, he managed to hold himself back with his last ounce of rationality. "I can't accompany you there, darling," he told her. "I have something important to attend to on that same day.""What's so important? What's more important than me?" Caroline turned away from him so that her back faced him, her lower lip protruding as she sulked. She had hoped against hope that she could introduce him to everyone during the handover ceremony. Alas, Kirk just wouldn't give in. She was so mad at him for it. Then, Kirk put an arm around her waist and nuzzled her neck. In his low and raspy voice, he muttered, "Naturally, everything about you is most important to me." "But I hope that the ceremony will go perfectly. I don't want to ruin it and make you regret anything later on," he added."You not attending it will be my greatest regret!" Caroline was fuming already. Kirk stared at her and found himself at a loss for words. Noticing

Kirk didn't wait for a reply after sending the message. He simply looked down at Caroline in his arms. Her brows were furrowed tightly, which made him wonder what she was dreaming about. "No, it isn't me. I didn't …" she murmured. This wasn't the first time Kirk had seen her frown and mutter in her sleep. His heart broke a little every time this happened. Despite what he felt, he could only hug her tight to give her some warmth. It was a good thing that Michael had prescribed her some medicine. Otherwise, she would have nightmares every other day. Now, she didn't wake up from fright like before. Soon, she fell into a deep slumber once again. Now that Caroline was sleeping just fine, Kirk could finally close his eyes and fall asleep himself. Early the next morning, he saw Eddy's reply. "The Gruidae. See you at 9:00 pm." Eddy had sent the message last night. Kirk narrowed his eyes at the screen and was about to put his phone down when he noticed Caroline getting up from the

"Uncle Kirk." Standing up, Eddy took the initiative to greet Kirk. The latter sat opposite Eddy with a face devoid of emotion. "Have a seat."After taking a seat, Eddy suddenly thought of something and wanted to stand up once more. However, the thought struck him as childish, so he swallowed his frustration and sat in his seat. He only spoke after he had calmed down. "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it a secret? Did Grandpa know this long ago …" The longer Eddy spoke, the less inclined he was to carry on talking. In the end, he simply glowered at Kirk and said, "You're my uncle! How could you do this to me?" To Eddy, Kirk was like the sun in the sky that had guided him all along. He never thought that the rays from the sun would one day scald him and burn him alive. Kirk simply stared back into Eddy's eyes. Slowly and elegantly, he took out a cigar and lit it up."Getting married is personal. Why should I inform you about it?" "But you married Caroline! She was m

This time, Kirk's words stunned Eddy to the very core. "We—""There's no 'we' here," Kirk scoffed, his voice harsh. He spoke as if he were a higher being who looked down on the foolishness of mankind. "You reaped what you sowed and made Caroline hate the Morrison family. And now I'm the one who has to bear the consequences of your actions!"Kirk's hands balled into fists, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly in a sneer. "Do you really think you have the right to question my decision about hiding the truth from her?" His dark eyes stared right into Eddy's, making the latter feel as though he were enveloped by darkness. The feeling of dread made him feel suffocated, and he subconsciously trembled at Kirk's gaze. A while later, Kirk said, "I know that I'm at fault here. That's why I'm trying to make amends now.""Uncle Kirk, please divorce Caroline," Eddy pleaded. "Give me a chance, will you?" Shooting up from his seat, Kirk kicked Eddy in the chest. Eddy was caug

Michael had long gotten used to Kirk's behavior. As an expert psychologist, and based on his observations lately, he found that Caroline was the only person who could affect Kirk's mood. After listening to Kirk explain Caroline's condition, Michael pulled out a chair and gestured for him to sit. "I conducted a meeting with several other psychologists after hypnotizing her last time," said Michael. "We agreed that the best solution for her for now is to undergo hypnotherapy.He continued, "If we hypnotize her for the second time, some things may go out of hand. It's because the person who hypnotized her back then employed a rather peculiar method during the process. "That's why she can't remember anything about her past at all. But we don't know the method that they used."Frustrated, Kirk asked, "What do you plan to do?""We have two ways to solve this. The first one is to use electroshock therapy. The strong stimulation can make her forget Mr. Morrison Senior's death," Mich

Quentin broke into a smile and said, "I'll tell you about Yvonne first, then."He continued, "I found out that she had indeed been adopted from an orphanage. "But she was taken away from the orphanage in just a couple of months. It doesn't match up with what you told me about Ms. Weiss' daughter." "Is it possible that she joined the Hacketts only when she turned five or six years old?" Caroline asked, even though she felt that the possibility wasn't that high. "That's possible," Quentin said. "I've looked into it. After she was taken away from the orphanage, the Hacketts' nanny took her to the countryside. "The Hackett couple only visited her occasionally, and she went to live with them when she was around five or six years old."Caroline had never expected her assumption to hit the bull's eye. "But I still think that this all sounds ridiculous. Even if they had seldom met, they shouldn't have mistaken their daughter for another five-year-old." "We're on the same page,"
