Chapter 115
At the convenience store, Caroline bought a few pieces of bread and a few bottles of water.
Gwen asked her curiously, “Why are you buying water?” There were cold drinks at the barbecue
restaurant.
Caroline couldn’t help but blush. “I want some regular water.”
Gwen sauntered to her, asking, “Is it for you, or are you buying it for Kirk?”
“It’s for me, all right?” Caroline took another water bottle before asking Gwen, “What’s going on between you and Sean?”
“Huh? Nothing!” Gwen felt a little sheepish. There really wasn’t anything between her and Sean, so she had no clue why she was acting like this.
“Oh, really?” Caroline stared straight into Gwen’s eyes, making the latter feel a little awkward.
“Carol, didn’t I promise I wouldn’t pursue him?”
Caroline said, “If you really like him, I don’t mind.”
Gwen waved her hand. “Forget it. Both his work and family are abroad. Who knows when he’ll be leaving this place? Long distance relationships are too difficult.”
Her friend’s words took Caroline aback. Kirk’s family was abroad as well. Would she be separated
from him in the future as well?
“Enough about me. What’s going on between you and Kirk? And who was the woman from before?”
Gwen asked.
On the way here, Sean had asked Gwen about the woman Kirk was with. She’d said she didn’t know who the woman was, but he’d insisted that she find out from Caroline, claiming that he
wanted to clear his friend’s name.
The light in Caroline’s eyes dimmed instantly.
“If you don’t want to say it, forget that I asked,” Gwen said hastily.
Caroline walked out of the convenience store with her bag in her hand, feeling a big weight on her
chest. She took a long breath, bracing herself, and said, “It’s Brie.”
Gwen’s expression shifted “What the actual fuck! Why was he seeing her, of all people? Wait right
here I’m going to give him the scolding he deserves
After talking, she stormed towards the barbecue restaurant across the street.
Seeing this, Caroline hurriedly chased after Gwen, trying to stop her.
However, it was too late Gwen had already let her anger cloud her judgment.
Wanting to stand up for her friend, Gwen pointed at Kirk and yelled, “Are you doing this on
purpose? You clearly know that Carol and Brie don’t get along, but you’re still seeing a bitch like
her!”
Sean was stunned for a moment before realizing what Gwen was doing “She’s scolding Kirk! Does she want to die?” he thought.
Sean stood up and held back the agitated Gwen. “Calm down, Gwen!”
Caroline rushed over as well. She looked at Kirk, out of breath.
Kirk narrowed his eyes slightly. He glanced at the agitated Gwen and then at Caroline. “Brie? Who
said we were together?”
Although Sean had restrained Gwen, he hadn’t covered her mouth. Kirk’s question added fuel to the fire, making Gwen even angrier.
She yelled, “I can’t believe you’re still trying to deny it! When Carol took supper for you at work that night, she saw you two with her own eyes. Also, the lipstick you brought home must belong
to Brie, right?”
The customers at the restaurant all turned over to look at the commotion.
Caroline blocked Gwen and said to Sean, “Sean, can you please take her away?”
Sean nodded and dragged Gwen away.
The people in the restaurant didn’t take their eyes off Caroline’s table. She quickly went to pay the
bill.
“Let’s go.”
Kirk sat still. He only looked at her when she pulled him up, and emotions seemed to be swirling in his eyes.
The two walked to the car one after the other After getting in the car. they drove away from the
birby downtown area
Caroline said bitterty, I’m sorry. Gwen is just-
Kirk interrupted her, his attractive voice echoing in the car “Were you there just to bring me
upper that night?”
Caroline frowned and said stubbornly. “No”
Kirk leaned over and gently lifted Caroline’s jaw with his fingers His eyes showed a trace of
liveliness, and he was full of smiles. “But Gwen said you were ”
“No–
Caroline felt his lips pressing against hers, and all thoughts left her mind. She had already
forgotten what she was going to say
In contrast to his usual heavy–handedness, Kirk was kissing her gently and delicately this time.
Caroline’s breathing gradually became rapid, and she wrapped her arms around Kirk’s neck She
whispered, “Kirk”
Kirk looked back at her. In the cramped space of the car, his gaze looked ferocious. “Scream my
name.”
Caroline bit her lip, shaking her head vehemently.
Kirk placed kisses on Caroline’s delicate collarbone, gently nibbling on it. He looked at her bewitchingly ‘Scream my name. I know you want to.”
Caroline’s lips parted slightly, and she said hoarsely, “You’re bullying me again, Kirk.”
Seeing this, Kirk hugged her dearly. “I’m not bullying you. I just miss you. Listen-*
He hugged Caroline even tighter, and Caroline could feel his body heat and steady heartbeat thanks to how close their bodies were.
Her body stiffened, and she said sadly, “But I don’t want to fight with Brie over you…”
Kirk bit Caroline’s lips. He said, “There’s nothing between Brie and I.”
Looking at Kirk with tearful eyes, Caroline said, “I saw her wearing a diamond ring that day, and
she said that it was from you…”
A murderous glint briefly appeared in Kirk’s eyes.
Then, he caressed Caroline’s cheek with all the tenderness he could muster and kissed away her
tears “That ring is supposed to be for you.”
Caroline blinked her eyes. She couldn’t believe what she heard.
Kirk said, “We’re already married, but I haven’t bought you a ring. I’m a failure as a husband. That ring is still in my office. I’ll get it for you.”
Caroline blushed. She hadn’t expected this to be the truth. In an instant, something filled up her empty heart.
She asked again, “So, there’s really nothing between you and Brie?”
Kirk started the car. “Yeah.”
The weight on Caroline’s chest lifted, and when she quickly glanced at Kirk, her face turned bright red.
Kirk set up the GPS on the console. “Then, let’s go home.”
They were only ten minutes away from the villa, but it would take them half an hour to get to the company. He didn’t want to wait any longer.
Caroline nodded. After getting her consent, Kirk stepped on the gas pedal. They arrived at the villa within just five minutes.
Kirk parked the car randomly and quickly walked into the villa with Caroline in his arms.
The two of them got started without even turning on the lights. They had waited for this moment for a long time.
Chapter 116
Meanwhile, Sean took Gwen home Gwen was still protesting at the door, “Let go of me! I will give
that bastard the verbal lashing of his life!”
Sean held Gwen’s waist with one hand and opened the door with the other. After he turned on the
lights, he told Gwen, “If you weren’t Caroline’s friend, you would have been a corpse by now.”
Gwen wasn’t convinced “Hmph Does he really have what it takes to kill me?”
Sean shrugged, saying nothing in response. He walked to the kitchen and poured Gwen a gla** of
water
Gwen was still sulking “He’s the one who cheated in the first place.”
“I know Kirk very well, so I’m very sure that there’s nothing between him and Brie.”
Gwen took a sip of water. She retorted, “Of course you’ll defend him. He’s your friend, after all.”
“I’m not defending him,” Sean said.
He briefly explained what had happened when Brie tried to seduce Kirk in the private room that day.
“If there were really something between them, Kirk wouldn’t have thrown her out like that. I was the only one in the private room back then. It couldn’t have been just for show.”
Gwen was speechless. After a moment, she asked, “What about the day when Carol took food for him?”
“There must be some misunderstanding about that.” Seeing that Gwen had finally calmed down, Sean let out a sigh of relief.
“Enough about this. Kirk will explain it to Caroline, so we should leave them be. Do you want some more water?”
“Sure!” Gwen ma**aged her throat.
“I was so pissed off just now. My throat is dry from yelling.” As she spoke, she licked her dry lips.
Sean’s throat tightened at the sight. He quickly looked away, saying hastily, “I’ll get you some
water.”
When he entered the kitchen he still couldn’t get Gwen out of his mind. He ma**aged his temple
Aset late, be’d been so obsessed with food, and he hadn’t had a girlfriend for a long time. That had
to be the reason he was acting this way
What’s taking so long? Gwen walked to the kitchen seeing Sean staring at the kettle, she
approached him with a smile.
Smelling the flowery scent on her body, Sean nervously jumped back
“What’s wrong with you?” Gwen was surprised by his dramatic actions
Sean stammered “N–nothing I’m going to give Kirk a call and find out what’s going on “Then, he grabbed his phone and quickly walked to the balcony
Gwen shook her head and poured herself some water
When Sean reached the balcony, he felt the gentle night breeze cooking his body
He dialed Kirk’s number Kirk didn’t answer the first time or the second time It wasn’t until the third time that Kirk answered the phone, snarling, “What the hell do you want?
Sean flinched “Don’t tell me you’re doing THAT Are you?”
Kirk gritted his teeth and looked over at Caroline
She was lying on the bed with her back to him, and he could see the smooth contours of bee body from his spot on the balcony flluminated by the moonlight, she looked like a pure and sacred
goddess
He hissed, “What the hell are you trying to say?”
“Nothing I just wanted to ask you how things are going with you and Caroline
Kirk’s expression darkened, and he yelled, “You’re crazy!”
“Hey, hang on Sean yelled anxiously “You havent given Caroline the ring have you?”
Kirk pa**ed just as he was about to hang up the phone
Sean pressed, “You’re not thinking of just giving her the ring, are you?
Kirk didn’t answer. That was what he d planned to do He fell the heat on his body fade away and
heat of a chair on the balcony

When Layla heard her words, her face turned as pale as the color of the walls
Brie continued, “If you didn’t want her dead, why would you do that?”
Layla relented. “What do you want me to do?”
Brie grinned. “A very simple thing I want you to set up a meeting with Caroline and her man!” Since Caroline’s husband had dared to threaten her, he’d better be prepared to face her wrath.
Caroline for me? I know I did something wrong, and I want to treat her and her husband to a meal and ask her to forgive me. Is that okay?”
Chapter 117
Early the next day, Caroline woke up. She hurriedly lifted the blanket, only to find her clothes
intact. They hadn’t done anything last night.
“You’re awake?”
Caroline looked up and saw Kirk coming out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around
Mustering her courage, Caroline propped up her body and kissed Kirk on the cheek. Then, she
Kirk pinched her waist just as she was about to cover her flushed face with the blanket. He
Kirk gently pulled the blanket off her face and gave her a big kiss on the lips. “That’s more like it.”
Just when Caroline thought Kirk would take things further, he slowly stood up. “Go and have
Only then did Caroline remember that she’d accepted a job offer at Thorne Corporation She had to
“It’s fine. I can go home by myself Caroline refused his offer.
Seeing that Caroline didn’t ask any more questions, a smile appeared on Kirk’s face.
When they arrived at the entrance of Thorne Corp, Caroline got out of the car and waved goodbye to Kirk. Then, she walked into the building.
As expected of a company that had the means to buy out several makeup brands in one go, the new building was extravagant and magnificent. It wouldn’t be long before this building would become a landmark in Osbury.
Caroline reached Jules‘ office without any problems. Jules was in a meeting, but when he saw
Welcome, Ms. Evans.”
Caroline looked at the elegant man in front of her with a smile. “Hello, Mr. Hawkins.”
“No need to be so formal. Please come in.”
When Jules closed his office door, the eavesdropping crowd finally started discussing among
experience. He doesn’t have to treat her like a VIP.”
Morrisons?”
Vivian Patterson, the person in question, happened to pa** by just then. “What are you guys doing?
Don’t you have work to do?”
“Viv, we’re not trying to discredit you. We just think that this decision was too hasty. You need at
least ten years of experience to be the design director. It’s unreasonable for a rookie to become one.
Vivian said, “Don’t you know? God despises those without virtue. Caroline has neither work nor leadership experience. Just bide your time, and she’ll eventually make a fool of herself. What’s
the rush?”
Everyone laughed.
At this time, Jules escorted Caroline out of his office. Seeing that Vivian was there, Jules called
her over and said, “Vivian, you’re here. Let me introduce you two.”
There’s no need to do that, Mr. Hawkins. Isn’t she Caroline Evans, the distinguished competitor
from the Novitius Contest? Everyone in Osbury knows her since she’s the person who only
pursues Mr. Eddy.”
Caroline didn’t take Vivian’s words to heart. She extended out her hand. “Hello. Let me introduce
Vivian Patterson.”
Caroline looked back at Jules. “I’ll be leaving now. I’ll meet my colleagues at the design
department on my first day.”
After she left, he turned around and said to Vivian, “Vivian, I know you’re upset with Caroline, but let me give you some advice as a superior. In your career, the more friends you make, the more
When Caroline arrived downstairs, she called Gwen, asking if she wanted to go shopping for gifts
On the other end of the line, Gwen mumbled, “I have to work overtime today, so I can’t come with
you, Carol.”
Caroline’s eyes turned cold when she saw the caller ID. She answered it after some hesitation.
“Carol.” Sarah asked flatteringly, “Are you free?”
be part of the Morrison family.
She immediately hung up the phone and blocked her parents‘ numbers. Even after that, her body was still shaking in anger. From now on, she had nothing to do with the Evans family!
At that moment, a black car drove up to Caroline. Two powerful men stepped out of the vehicle. ”
Caroline Evans?”
Caroline backed away cautiously, asking. “Who are you people?”
The two men looked at each other, and without saying a word, they forced Caroline into the car
When she saw the building in front of her, her heart sank. She was at the Saint Pierre Grand Hotel,
Their business here was morally dubious, so the hotel had been built in a secluded place in the suburbs. It would be difficult for someone to find this place.
“Our boss is waiting inside. Please go in.” The bodyguard once again gestured Caroline toward the
She asked, “What are you trying to do by kidnapping me and bringing me here?”
Brie waved her hand. “No, no. I didn’t kidnap you. That’s against the law. I’m just inviting you for
dinner. How you arrived here has nothing to do with me.”
Caroline didn’t want to listen to her nonsense. She said coldly, “Let me go. You don’t want your crimes to be broadcast on the news tomorrow, right?”
Brie sneered, walking up to Caroline. “This is my territory. Not even an insect could get in here. Even if I killed you, no one would ever find out.”
Caroline clenched her fists.
“If you want to blame someone, blame that wonderful husband of yours. He actually had the gall to threaten me, ordering me to leave you alone.”
for this!”
“No way in hell am I doing that,” Caroline refused. Considering there were so many bodyguards outside, Brie had obviously come prepared. If Kirk came here, he wouldn’t leave this place alive.
“You’re more stubborn than I thought. Fine! Come in here, boys!”
“Do whatever you want with her! You don’t have to worry about her status! As long as you clean up the evidence from her body, the police will have a hard time getting proof! Even if she tells the world about this, you’ll be fine!”
After that, she proudly told Caroline, “Let’s see how stubborn you really are!”
Brie left the room, closing the door behind her. Seeing this, Caroline wanted to escape, but the
bodyguards carried her like a sack of potatoes and threw her into a corner. 4
“Sorry about this, Ms. Evans!” Then, the bodyguards began tearing Caroline’s clothes.
Standing behind Gwen, Sean also looked at the balloons in the air with a smile. He asked Kirk, ”
Kirk had sweat on his expressionless face, but it was clear how happy he felt.
