hapter 28

The sharp ringing of Caroline’s phone pulled her back to reality. When she pushed Kirk away, she was

panting. It’s my phone. It must be Gwen.” Then, she quickly answered the call. “Hey, Gwen.”

Phew. You picked up. I was worried to death. How did it go? Did that old ba stard hurt you?”

Caroline did not dare to look at Kirk “No. I already left.”

That’s good. Wait a minute.” Gwen suddenly sensed that something was amiss. “Babe, why are you

breathing so heavily? Don’t tell me that ba stard’s chasing after you? I’ll come to you right now

‘No, there’s no need,” said Caroline hastily. “I’m fine, I’m just relieved that it’s over. Anyway, the

problem is solved. I… I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

Caroline regretted it the moment she hung up the phone. The car was pin-drop silent. The atmosphere

was still charged, but it was more awkward than before. She fumbled for words for a

long time before saying, “So… Was that a spot check?”

Kirk turned the air-conditioning higher, but the heat in his body still rose instead of going down.

He nodded in frustration.

Caroline said, “I was … better than the last time, wasn’t I?” Once the words left her mouth, she

wished she could find a hole to bury herself in. What was she saying!

Kirk touched his lips. The lingering taste of her stirred something in him. He hid the passion in

his eyes and said, “I’ll send you home.”

“Okay.” Caroline could wish for nothing more. They were silent for the remainder of the drive.

After dropping Caroline home, Kirk called Sean. “I’m at a bar,” said Sean. “Your nephew is quite

strange. He’s been asking about your wife the whole night. Don’t tell me your father doesn’t

believe you’re married and sent him to test me?”

Kirk tugged at his tie frustratedly. “Eddy’s there too?”

“Yup, and he’s in a good mood today. He’s drunk quite a lot and I think we’ll be heading home soon.

I’ll let him know you called.”

“No need.” Kirk’s gaze darkened. “Hold him there. I’m coming over.”

Sean held his phone skeptically, sensing that Kirk seemed to be in a bad mood. Who was grinding his

gears? He turned around and walked back into the private room. There were only a few people inside,

and he spotted Eddy at first glance. He approached him and said, “Your uncle’s joining us

in a bit.”

Everybody at the party that night was from one of the four most influential families, so it was no secret

to them that Kirk had returned. Brie Collins, who had been about to leave, went back to her seat and

put down her handbag the moment she heard this. Nobody noticed her actions. Everyone else was

gathered around Eddy, teasing him.

“That means we’ll finally get to meet your legendary uncle.”

Eddy hadn’t expected Kirk to come either. That night was an early celebration of Caroline’s

failure. He had invited Kirk, but Kirk had said he was busy and couldn’t make it. Hearing that he

would come, Eddy immediately felt proud. He couldn’t help but say arrogantly, “Humph, you guys

are so lucky to get to meet my uncle.”

Kirk’s success in the business field was admired and envied by all. Everybody looked up to him.

Half an hour later, Kirk arrived, fashionably late.
