Jack regretted his words after he said them. "I-I don't have any other intentions. It's just … Well, Ms. Evans, um, the madam is—"Cheryl chuckled, amused by Jack's reaction. And just like that, the sad atmosphere disappeared without a trace.As Jack saw Cheryl smile, he couldn't resist saying, "You look beautiful when you smile."Cheryl's face turned crimson at his words, just like a sunset. "Jack …""Cheryl …" Jack swallowed.Suddenly, a honk sounded behind them, bringing both of them back to their senses.Cheryl said awkwardly, "I think we're blocking their way.""Y-Yeah." Jack rubbed his head innocently. After a moment, he remembered to give way to the other drivers, and he hurriedly started the car.As Cheryl watched him fumble around, she couldn't resist laughing.When Jack heard Cheryl's laughter, his mood improved as well. He also felt his sadness disappear significantly....Jack was responsible for the wedding's aftermath and assisting Adrian. Meanwhile, Sean would
"I don't, but Eddy mentioned it to me."Dan was overjoyed to hear that. "It's all right if you don't remember. I just want to tell you that since you're going to marry Eddy, Collins Group won't be of use to you anymore. "Besides, you would be busy with your role as a wife, caring for your husband, and raising the Morrison family's children. "You won’t have time to take care of the company. So I would like to …"As Dan watched Caroline's expression, he whispered, "Since I have nothing else to do, I can help you take care of the company."Caroline's expression didn't change at all. "But Dad, don't you need to manage Evans Group as well?"Dan and Sarah looked at each other. "Oh, Evans Group is just a small company. I can just let my subordinates manage it. "Collins Group is a big corporation. If no one is keeping watch, it will fall apart."Caroline pinched the bridge of her nose. Something seemed to be pounding in her head."Dad, I don't want to talk about this right now." Ca
At the wedding venue, Eddy looked at every face in the audience from his place on the stage.These guests were all members of the big four families. He might not recognize them all, but one thing was for certain. Kirk wasn't here."Make sure to check everywhere. Are you sure that there isn't a trace of Uncle Kirk?" Eddy asked Simon."Yes, sir.""It can't be. Caroline and I are getting married today. There's no way he would stay calm and not show up here." A sharp glint appeared in Eddy's gaze. "Get more people to watch every entrance and exit. There's no way he won't show up today."Simon nodded. "Yes, sir."As soon as Simon left, Damien brought Adrian to the stage and greeted Eddy."Eddy—"Eddy turned around, and he was stunned to see Adrian. If he remembered correctly, Adrian was supposed to be abroad.Adrian raised the cup in his hand. "Long time, no see, Mr. Eddy.""Likewise. What are you doing back here?" Eddy asked casually.Adrian looked at Eddy with a meaningful
"Don't worry, Carrie." Dan patted Caroline's hand. "The wedding will start soon. We just need to wait for their instructio—"Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground.Caroline was shocked by what she saw. When she turned around, she saw a man in a staff uniform, holding a tranquilizer gun in his hand."Come with me," he said to her.Caroline was stunned for a few moments. "Y-You're not Mr. Y."His voice was completely different from Mr. Y's.Adrian smiled helplessly and whispered, "She actually acted just like he said she would.""What did you say?""You're right. I'm not Mr. Y," Adrian said to Caroline. "Mr. Y asked me to let you know he can't take you away himself."Caroline took a step back. "How do I know if you're telling the truth?"Adrian smiled wryly at her words. "Once again, his predictions were right on the money. He said you can call him if you don't believe me."Caroline doubtfully took out her phone and dialed Kirk's number.He answered the c
Seeing this, the bodyguard raised his leg, trying to kick the gun out of Adrian's hand.Adrian seemed to know what they wanted to do. With a turn of his wrist, he passed the tranquilizer gun from his right hand to his left.When Simon saw what had happened, he immediately ordered, "Get them!"At his order, bodyguards swarmed toward them. However, a few bodyguards behind fell down to the ground, immediately attracting Simon's attention.All of a sudden, Simon saw several people with guns showing up out of nowhere. They were glancing in their direction."This is bad. They have outside help." Simon took out his walkie-talkie. "We're at the entrance of the bride's dressing room. Everyone, get over here to assist us right away."Caroline wasn't afraid to see them wield guns. Instead, she struggled even harder against the bodyguards' grip.Then, she actually broke free from their grasp. She didn't know whether it was because the sudden change in events had caught those bodyguards of
"Besides, I wouldn't even call those feelings of yours love. You're just being a childish brat at best. "Once you feel that your toy has been stolen, you'll do whatever it takes to take it back!"Eddy's eyes were bloodshot like those of an uncontrollable beast. He glared at Adrian. "What the hell do you know? An outsider like you has no right to judge my relationship with Caroline!""Ah!" Caroline screamed in pain, startling the two men in the midst of their confrontation. They looked over at her.Caroline seemed to be greatly aggravated. She shook her head frantically. "I-It hurts … Kirk … Who on earth is Kirk … Who the hell is he?"Seeing this, Adrian pushed Eddy away. He carried Caroline and walked to the door. However, Eddy blocked his way. "Put her down!" Eddy said icily. He ignored Caroline, who was writhing in pain in Adrian's arms.Adrian was furious. "Eddy, you're utterly heartless. Caroline is already in such a bad state, and you still don't want to let her go? W
Eddy hugged Adrian's waist, but his eyes were fixed on Caroline.The door was falling closer and closer to Caroline. Eddy’s inner conflict became more intense. Should he let Adrian go or not?He didn't know the answer to that question. That was because a voice was coldly telling him that since he couldn't get her, he should make sure no one did!"Eddy!" Adrian raised a fist and hit Eddy's stomach.However, Eddy didn't even budge. He continued to hug Adrian tightly. Although the pain in his stomach had spread throughout his body, he still refused to let go.At this critical moment, a figure moved as fast as lightning. He quickly grabbed Caroline, who was on the ground and rolled away to a safe spot. As that person steadied his feet, the door behind him tumbled violently.Pieces of broken glass scattered throughout the entire lobby, injuring many people.Only Caroline was safe in that man's arms. However, she already passed out. So she would never know that Mr. Y was here toda
Just as Kirk was about to start the car, the passenger door opened.While Kirk was taken aback, Adrian sat in the passenger seat.Kirk said nothing to him and drove straight to Michael's clinic.In the car, Adrian occasionally turned to look at Caroline in the back seat. "Is Caroline going to be okay?"Kirk tightly gripped the steering wheel, making the veins appear in his arms. "She'll be fine!"Seeing this, Adrian didn't ask anything else. He simply stared at Caroline silently.Kirk drove as fast as he could. He was so fast that Adrian had to turn back and grab the armrest several times.With great difficulty, the three of them arrived at Michael's clinic.When Michael saw Kirk carrying Caroline, he quickly asked, "What happened?"Kirk looked at Adrian.Adrian didn't mess around, either. He told them that Eddy mentioned Kirk in front of Caroline. The more he spoke, the darker Kirk's expression became. By the time Adrian had finished speaking, Kirk’s expression was beyond
