Chapter 24

The sound of his deep, husky voice made Caroline slowly realize that she was hugging Kirk. At once,

she got flustered and hastily took a step back. Her pale face was flushed as she said, “Sorry, I

Kirk’s chest immediately felt hollow. As if nothing had happened, he said mildly, “I can lend you

the money.”

Caroline went stiff, wondering if she had heard him correctly. “What did you say?”

Kirk felt uneasy at her stare and said, “50 million dollars.”

Caroline frowned. “Kirk, thank you, but I’ll find a way to get through this. You needn’t worry.”

“I can help you, honestly.” Kirk’s gaze flitted toward her occasionally. “Actually, I am the Morrison

family’s …”

“I know you’re in Morrison Corp’s middle management and your yearly salary isn’t exactly peanuts, but

50 million dollars is still a huge sum,” said Caroline with a smile. “Unless you’re an actual Morrison. But

if that were the case, we wouldn’t be married.”

“Why not?” Kirk’s eyes were as black as coal.

“Before, it was like I was born to be married to Eddy. My family doted on me all the time then. They

would satisfy all my wants and needs no matter what I asked for, even if I asked for the stars in the sky.

But when I gave up on it, everybody changed. Back then, I didn’t believe that greed could make people

so horrible, but I finally believe it now. That’s why I would rather be with someone mundane than have

anything to do with influential families.”

Looking into her pure eyes, Kirk was silent for a long time. Finally, he said, “So, if I’m part of the

Morrison family, then you’ll divorce me?”

Caroline answered with a smile, “Yup.”

All the light went out of Kirk’s eyes in an instant, and Caroline didn’t understand what was going

on. “What… What’s the matter?” she asked.

“Nothing. Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.”

“Then I’ll get you something to eat.”

Caroline didn’t feel like going out, so Kirk ordered takeout. The food and its packaging were very pretty,

and Caroline wanted to ask which restaurant he had ordered from and if it was expensive. However,

Kirk was in low spirits, so she held her tongue.

After they had finished eating, Kirk went out to the balcony for a smoke while Caroline stayed in the

living room. She didn’t watch television that day but continued going through her contacts list. After

searching for a while, she found someone.

Kent Pearson, the CEO of the largest home appliance company in Osbury. Back in the day, when the

Evans family hadn’t yet fallen, her grandfather had treated him very well. Caroline didn’t remember any

of this at all and only knew because her father had told her. Since Kent was someone her grandfather

had helped before, she should be able to borrow some money from him.

She called his number tentatively. At that moment, Kent was in the noisy private room of a pub. He had

a woman on each arm and was occasionally fondling them. The woman beside him didn’t pull away but

leaned closer to him smilingly instead. She saw that the screen of his phone was lit up and leaned

against his fat body, saying flirtily, “Mr. Pearson, your phone’s ringing. Why aren’t

you answering it?”

Kent gave her a sidelong glance and said, “I don’t have to. It’s Ms. Evans.”

“Ms. Evans? Isn’t she the one who’s going to marry Eddy Morrison? How dare you ignore the call

from the future Mrs. Morrison?”

Kent spat and said, “What heiress? She probably doesn’t even have much longer to live.”

The two women continued asking questions out of curiosity, and Kent didn’t hold back any

information either.

“That stu pid woman made a deal with Mr. Morrison. She needs to get her hands on 50 million

dollars in half a month,” he said.

The women burst into laughter. “She’s really stu pid. Anyone who wants to live would never lend

her money,” said one of them.

“I know right, no wonder she still hasn’t married Mr. Morrison even after so long. She must really

be a dumb bit ch!”
