The sounds of laughter stopped abruptly. Everyone turned around and saw Jude walking in, surrounded by bodyguards. The sight dumbfounded them."Mr. Morrison Senior, what are you doing here?" Brie asked, hurriedly walking up to help the old man.Jude didn't even look at Brie. Instead, he approached Caroline anxiously, asking, "Carrie, I heard you sprained your ankle and were hospitalized. This is such an important matter. Why didn't you tell me?"His concern moved Caroline. She reassured him, "I'm fine, Grandpa. I'll be discharged soon."Jude looked down at Caroline's ankle, worried. "Are you sure you're okay?""I'm sure!" Caroline briefly walked around. "Actually, I didn't need to be hospitalized at all, but my husband was too worried about me …" she explained, blushing.When Jude saw this, he laughed and said, "So, that's how it is. You really scared me, Carrie." Then, he turned around and looked at Brie, asking, "What are you people making a fuss about? I could hear all of yo

While waiting for the elevator, Caroline couldn't help asking, "Is Eddy's second uncle really married?"Jude nodded. "That's right. Now, it seems that his decision for a fast marriage is the right one.""A fast marriage? Eddy's second uncle had one of those as well?" Caroline thought."By the way, did your husband agree to meet me?" Jude asked.The topic shifted to Kirk, pulling Caroline from her thoughts. She nodded before she could think about it."If that's the case, let's book a table at Starlust Hotel.""Let me arrange a meeting place instead, Grandpa. Eddy has been looking for him everywhere, so can you please not tell him about our meeting?""Huh?" Jude raised an eyebrow. He asked, "Why is Eddy looking for him?"Caroline frowned. "I—I don't know. Just promise me, Grandpa."Jude smiled merrily. "Okay, okay. I won't tell him. But Carrie, even if you don't go back to what you walked out on, sometimes the things you've walked out on may be the best things you've had."Caro

When Kirk arrived at the Morrison Manor, Eddy had just finished talking with Jude and came out of the study. He greeted Kirk, evidently not in a good mood. "Hello, Uncle Kirk."Kirk nodded slightly. He asked, "What did your grandpa talk to you about?"Eddy said unhappily, "He asked me to stop looking for Caroline's husband."Kirk raised an eyebrow, but then he heard Eddy say, "This will affect my pursuit of Caroline."Kirk remained silent."Mr. Kirk." Simon stepped forward. "Mr. Morrison Senior is waiting for you inside." Kirk gave a light hum in acknowledgment, devoid of any emotion. After entering the study, he greeted Jude, who was sitting on the armchair. "Uncle Jude."Jude smiled and said, "You're here. Come and have a seat."Kirk sat across from Jude calmly."I'm going to see Caroline's husband the day after tomorrow." Jude stood up with the support of his walking cane. "Have you gotten any news about him?"Kirk shook his head."Even you can't find out anything about

Simon immediately asked the hotel to bring a coffee brewing kit and mugs. Caroline took the opportunity to text Kirk. "My Grandpa is here. How long do you need to get here?"Kirk didn't reply.The staff had brought the tools, so Caroline had no choice but to concentrate on brewing coffee for Jude. Skill and knowledge were required to make coffee. She couldn't be careless.The staff brought them Robusta Coffee beans. Caroline ground the coffee beans with the grinder and boiled some water. Then, she poured the ground coffee beans into a filter. Finally, she slowly poured the hot water through the filter into a mug, filling the room with the fragrant scent of coffee. A cup of dark coffee was ready, emitting an aromatic, smoky scent."Here you go, Grandpa."Jude picked up the coffee. He took a sip and smiled with satisfaction. "Your coffee is as delicious as always, Carrie."Caroline said modestly, "I'm sure you're just being nice, Grandpa."Jude waved his hand. "I'm not. I know y

Caroline walked briskly to Kirk's side and stretched out her hand, asking, "Where are the documents?"Kirk looked down at Caroline's slender fingers and couldn't resist fiddling with them. He answered, "In the car.""Okay." Caroline's hands were ticklish, but she didn't resist. She continued to ask with a smile, "What does your subordinate look like?""He has a face."Caroline chuckled and said, "I'm serious. What if I give them to the wrong person?""You won't. He'll definitely recognize you." Kirk handed the keys to Caroline and said, "I'll head up there first. You can join us after you hand him the documents.""Okay." Caroline nodded obediently. She watched Kirk leave before getting into the car and waiting patiently.…The elevator stopped on the third floor, and Kirk walked towards the private room. He'd never been this nervous before. He laughed at himself.Discussing billion-dollar deals with other people was easier than this. He wondered what was wrong with him. He wal

Along with Brie, the entire Collins family had become the laughing stock of the public. Hence, Howard had come here today to give Jude a piece of his mind. Jude furrowed his brows in displeasure. "I only ever mentioned a blind date, and I never mentioned it again after Kirk married. Besides, it was just a blind date, so there's nothing certain about it. What made you think that the two of them would get married?" Howard was dumbstruck now, but there was nothing he could do to vent his anger. "You should at least compensate us," he said as he looked at Kirk. "Mr. Kirk may be married already, but his career focuses only on domestic businesses now. Besides, men get lonely pretty quickly, so … why don't you let him marry another woman?" He pushed Brie in Kirk's direction. Brie lowered her head, looking shy and embarrassed. She leaned forward, making it look like she was going to fall into his arms any time soon. Unfortunately for her, Kirk dodged her easily. She almost fell to

Brie had just suffered a lot at Kirk's hands. Seeing Caroline here, she could finally have someone as her punching bag. She wasted no time grabbing Caroline's arm and lashing out at her, "You're here to seduce Eddy's second uncle, right?" Caroline glanced sideways to look at her arm, which was stinging from Brie's grasp. "Let go!" she spat. Brie didn't listen. It was as though she'd gone mad with rage. If she couldn't get what she wanted, why could Caroline? Seeing that Brie wasn't going to let go anytime soon, Caroline grabbed her by the wrist, her fingernails sinking deeply into her flesh. Brie yelped in pain and let go of Caroline to look at the marks on her wrist. She rushed at Caroline, ready to tear her apart. Caroline dodged her easily and looked up at the surveillance camera not far away from them. "Ms. Collins, please behave," she warned. Howard realized that this wasn't their territory, and if Brie continued on with that crazed look of hers, she would humiliate

Caroline didn't care about that. Apart from Jude, she wasn't really close to any of the other Morrisons, after all. "I'm calling a substitute driver, so I'm hanging up." She hung up and called for a driver. Fortunately, she was still in the city, so it was easy for her to find one.It was about 5 pm when she reached Osbury. The sky had a crimson hue to it, and the sun gradually made its descent, making the world look ever so peaceful. However, Caroline's heart was the opposite of that. When she arrived home, she noticed the pair of men's slippers on the shoe rack. Restless, she placed them in the cabinet to avoid seeing them again. Just as she sat down on the couch, she received a call from Simon. "Mr. Zellen, is something the matter?""Ms. Evans, are you back in Osbury?" "Yes. I just returned." "Mr. Morrison Senior asked for you to come to the hospital." Caroline recalled what Gwen told her, and her heart jumped into her throat. "Is Grandpa okay?" "It's not him." Sim
