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

That was to say that Eddy only treated Layla well because he had remembered things wrongly. And once he realized …Layla didn't even dare to keep thinking about it. She calmed her rapid breathing and looked at Eddy. At this point, there was no way she could admit the truth.She pressed her fingers to her eyes. "So you mean that you've only ever been nice to me because I saved you back then?"Eddy didn't want to keep hiding it any longer. "That's right," he said.Layla cried even harder now. "I understand. Then, I wish you two all happiness together."As she spoke, she turned to leave.Eddy hurriedly called out to stop her. "Hold on. Layla, where are you going?""Since you don't like me, why do you care?"Layla sniffed. "There's no meaning to my life anymore … It's better that I just die!"Upon hearing that Layla wanted to die, Eddy hopped out of bed in a rush to pull her to a stop."Do you know what you're talking about?"Layla used all her might to struggle against Eddy's h

"Ms. Evans."Caroline answered, "I heard that Eddy's been admitted to the hospital. What happened?"Simon regarded Caroline's expression. It didn't seem fake. He asked inquiringly, "Don't you know, miss?"Caroline found Simon's question quite interesting. "Should I know about it?""Ah, that's not what I meant. It's just that the news of Mr. Eddy's hospitalization has been spread far and wide. I just find it curious that you don't know about it, Ms. Evans."Caroline replied, "Maybe it's because I've been so sad since Grandpa passed away a few days ago. That's why I haven't been paying attention to it."Simon looked at Caroline and found himself at a loss for words for a moment. He had encountered a lot of people in his life, and Caroline was someone he had watched grow up. Thus, he considered himself someone who knew Caroline very well. She wasn't someone who would lie.That meant that she really had no clue about what had happened that night.Simon wanted to keep asking furth

"That's right." Eddy was suddenly filled with guilt. "I'm sorry. I've done nothing while I was in the hospital these past few days."Caroline looked at Eddy in astonishment."What's wrong?""It's nothing. I'm just surprised you know how to apologize. It's startling." After saying this, Caroline asked, "By the way, is your second uncle coming for the funeral?"Eddy stayed silent.Caroline found this reaction very strange. "Is he not coming?"That wasn't right. It was a huge thing that Jude had passed away. How could that man not even show up?"No, that's not it. He said he hasn't confirmed it yet."Caroline said, "No matter how busy he is, he has to attend this event. It's a very important one!"Feeling frustrated, Eddy stood up. "You don't get it. We … Our relationship isn't as simple as you think."Caroline blinked. She really didn't understand it. However, Jude's death was really a big deal. No matter what, Eddy's second uncle should still attend the funeral."Actually,

"Mr. Zellen, do you know something about this?"Simon quickly avoided Eddy's gaze. "I … don't know.""You must know something!" Eddy clamped his hand on Simon's. "Hurry up and tell me!"Simon was helpless. "Mr. Eddy, I … really don't know anything. Maybe he just has the same name?""The same name?""That's right." Realizing that Eddy was loosening his grip, Simon continued, "Mr. Eddy's, I think you should focus on handling Mr. Morrison Senior's funeral. "There's nothing more important than making sure he has a smooth send-off."With that, Eddy was completely convinced. "Once Grandpa's funeral has been settled, I'll go and ask her about it."Simon wanted to speak but couldn't manage to. After some thought, he reminded Eddy, "Mr. Eddy, there are some things that are … better not known.""Why?" Eddy shot Simon a strange look. "Even if Caroline knows Uncle Kirk, that's … nothing much."Although he said this, his heart was beating like a drum. He had the feeling that somethin
