After glancing at it, Eddy noticed it was an unknown number.He declined the call. However, the person who had called sent him a message. "Accept my call. Otherwise, you’ll regret it."Seeing the person calling again, Eddy wondered if he should take the call. Before he realized what was happening, he had already accepted the call. "Mr. Eddy, I thought you weren’t going to answer my call.""Who are you?" The woman on the other line had an arrogant tone. Nobody had dared to use such a tone to speak with Eddy before. "It doesn’t matter who I am. The most important thing is that I can help you solve your problem."Eddy sneered. "How bold of you to try to deceive me. Are you trying to get yourself killed?"The woman let out a snort. "Mr. Eddy, don’t you want Caroline to get married to you?"Eddy’s expression changed. He lowered his voice. "Who exactly are you?" "Didn’t I say that it doesn’t matter who I am? The most important thing is that I can make Caroline marry you.""How
Eddy tiptoed as he pushed open the door. Then, he walked over to the bed and carefully took Caroline's hand."Caroline, I'll definitely protect you in the future."After saying that, he leaned over and was about to kiss her forehead. However, Caroline, who was deep asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.Eddy was taken aback and almost fell.Caroline looked at him puzzledly. "Eddy, what happened to you?" Her voice was weak.Eddy shook his head and looked at her pale complexion."I'm fine. How about you? How are you?"Caroline's head had started buzzing again. She quickly pressed her forehead."I'm okay. It's just that my head hurts a lot. What happened just now? You had been saying … that I had taken over something?""No. You remembered it wrongly." Eddy walked over and sat down beside her. "Caroline, I have something that I want to ask you," he said."What's the matter?" Caroline continued rubbing her head."Shall we get married?" After saying that, Eddy looked at her anxious
A shadow fell across Eddy's face after he left Caroline's room. Sure enough, it was the same as before. She resisted him from the bottom of her heart. Otherwise, she would have happily agreed to marry him since she had forgotten Kirk.Uncle Kirk. Eddy couldn't stop himself from clenching his fists at the thought of him. Caroline had forgotten all about him. Yet …Eddy raised his fist and was about to punch a hole in the wall when he spotted a car parked on the ground floor. The Morrisons had dozens of luxury cars. Naturally, he couldn't recognize all of them, but this one right there … they definitely didn't own a car like this. The corners of Eddy's mouth tilted upward in a smile, and he gradually made his way downstairs to the car. When he reached the car, he saw the person inside. It was Kirk, just as he had expected. "Uncle Kirk!" chirped Eddy as he rapped on the car window. The window rolled down, and he saw Kirk's bleak face staring back at him.It was obvious fr
But the guilt Eddy felt completely vanished when he remembered that Kirk married Caroline and lied to him. Caroline was supposed to marry Eddy from the very beginning. His attitude toward Kirk turned cold when he was reminded of this. Kirk had only just snapped out of his daze and started walking toward the gates. Staring at Eddy through the gates, he enunciated each word as he said, "I dare you to repeat what you just said." Despite the iron gates that separated them, Eddy's still heart skipped a beat when Kirk spoke. "I-I said … Caroline and I—"Eddy paled at the sound as Kirkpunched the gate with such force that the iron bars became dented. He didn't have the guts to speak clearly now. All he did was mumble incoherently. "Why don't you repeat what you said?" Kirk roared at him like an angered beast, his eyes locked on Eddy. Needless to say, Eddy lost the courage to continue speaking. Looking at the dent in the gates, he feared that his fate would somehow become j
The phone's ring scared Eddy half to death. He took a furtive glance at the screen to see that the caller was none other than Avery.He quickly answered the call and vented all his anger on her by lashing out at her. "Didn't you say that Caroline will definitely marry me after she lost her memories? Why did she resist the idea of marrying me so much when I brought it up to her?" Stunned by Eddy's outburst, Avery took a moment to respond. She laughed and said, "You're much too impatient. I told you that I have a plan, didn't I?"I'm calling you this time to tell you that everything's prepared." She continued, "Just take Caroline out tomorrow.""Are you sure it'll work?" Avery’s words extinguished Eddy's flames of rage by a considerable degree, but he still couldn't stop himself from worrying. "Worry not. My plan will surely work." She sounded very certain of herself. "No woman can resist it." Despite that, Eddy didn't believe her. "Caroline still misses Uncle Kirk e
Caroline shrank in the seat as her eyes fell on the rows of cars behind them. The scenery outside looked so familiar yet strange to her somehow. The buildings looked familiar as if she had seen them all before, but she found it strange because they weren't similar to the ones in her memories. They towered over her and seemed even cleaner than what she could recall. About an hour later, they finally arrived at Belrene Square. Caroline and Eddy had just gotten out of the car when they heard someone yelling. "Help! Help! There's a robber!" The next second, someone dashed passed Caroline. Before she could react, Eddy had stepped forward and grabbed the robber by the collar. The robber turned and paled when he saw that it was Eddy who had stopped him. He wanted to flee, but Eddy threw him to the ground with such a force that he fell on all fours. The handbag flew out of the robber’s hands. He lay on the ground, looking all haggard and embarrassed. Caroline picked up the hand
Caroline stared back at Eddy, her pretty eyes sparkling just like the stars at night. Frowning, Eddy made up his mind and was determined to selfishly keep this beautiful light of hers all to himself."Yes, I did," he said. "Do you like it?""Did you come up with this idea? You're so creative! I …" Caroline lowered her eyes, embarrassed. "I like it very much.""Great!" exclaimed Eddy. The uneasiness he had felt earlier vanished completely at the sight of her blushing face. "Look—" Eddy grabbed her arm. Following his gaze, she looked up to see balloons in the air. There were words on them. She read aloud the words on the balloons, "Caroline … will … you … marry … me?"Just then, Eddy got down on one knee, took out a huge diamond ring, and presented it to her. "Caroline, I know that I've made lots of stupid mistakes in the past. I've let you down," he said. "But I know that I was wrong now. So can you give me another chance and let me make up for them?" He glanced u
"Come here." Eddy didn't care if Caroline agreed to it or not anymore. He simply took out his phone and took a shot of her wearing the ring and uploaded it on social media. Even after uploading the photo, he still thought it wasn't enough. He contacted some reporters in the entertainment industry so that the photo made the headlines. In just a few hours, the news of them getting married became a hot topic. It came as quite a shock to the many gossipers in the entertainment section. "What's going on? Doesn't Eddy like Layla? Why is he marrying Caroline?""I'm flabbergasted. Everyone says that the entertainment industry is a hellhole. Why does it seem like the filthy rich are even more chaotic?" "Isn't Caroline married already?""Breaking news: Layla's in a coma now.""What? What just happened? Wasn't she just fine a few days ago? How did she become like this?""I'm not sure, but I heard that she got into an accident. Nobody knows for sure what happened to her." "Fuck. Th
