Chapter 171
After more than half an hour, Caroline finally arrived at the bar Sean had told her to come to When she saw the flowing traffic surrounding the place, she started feeling deeply suspicious
Wasn’t this a busy main road? Why couldn’t they get an Uber?
Caroline didn’t think more about it. She quickly found Sean waving at her. “Over here!”
She walked rapidly over Not far off, Kirk was leaning against a pole.
In the dim light of the night, Caroline couldn’t see his features clearly.
Only when she got closer did she see that Kirk’s eyes were slightly closed His forehead was scrunched up, and he looked as if he were in pain. The smell of alcohol surrounded him.
It seemed that Kirk must have drunk a lot.
“Kirk Caroline patted Kirk’s cheeks
Kirk opened his eyes, his red eyes meeting Caroline’s gaze all of a sudden.
Caroline shuddered violently. It was as if she were looking at a hurt kitten. Her movements
became gentler. “Let’s go home.”
Kirk stood without moving.
Caroline went to pull him along, but it seemed as though his body was boneless. He slumped. against her shoulder.
Holding Kirk up by his chest, Caroline tried to shove him away. But Kirk was built like a wall.
There was no way to push him off.
Caroline could only hold his waist and drag him into the car.
Sean watched the way Kirk swayed and stumbled. He mocked Kirk ment*lly, thinking, “What a
great actor.”
His gaze shifted to Caroline’s car and the space in front and behind it. However, he couldn’t find a
second car that had come with Caroline’s.
His heart chilled. He took a few steps toward her car. Sounding casual, he asked, “Did you come
alone?”
Caroline had finally shoved Kirk into the car. She straightened, a bead of sweat hanging from the tip of her nose. “No. The person who’s picking you up is almost here.”
A newfound hope flared in Sean’s heart. He said with a warm smile, “Sorry for troubling you.”
“It’s no trouble. The moment she said this, a car drove over. She smiled “Here we go ”

Sean followed Caroline’s line of sight. When he saw the car slowly coming over, he felt excited.
However, when the car stopped and Sean saw a man sitting inside, he was instantly disappointed
“Not Gwen?” he blurted out. He regretted saying that immediately.
Luckily, Caroline didn’t think too much about it.
She explained, “Oh, the company arranged a new driver for me. This is Mr. Jack. Gwen said she’s not free, so I could only ask him to help. What’s up? Is there a problem?”
Sean’s scholarly features twisted up for a second “No, thank you.
Caroline frowned Why did Sean sound like he was gritting his teeth?
“Then I’m going home now.”
Caroline got into the car and started it. She left the bar.
During the whole trip, Kirk behaved perfectly. When she drove into the garage, Caroline felt her
tensed nerves finally relax.
She opened the back door and patted Kirk’s cheek. “We’re here. Get out of the car.”
Kirk had curled into a ball. He seemed just like a cat. When he heard Caroline, he slowly opened
his eyes. They were still red, and when Caroline saw them again, her heart ached.
Just as she turned away, Kirk suddenly hugged her tightly around the waist.
She could only look back at Kirk. “We’re home.”
Kirk rubbed his cheek against Caroline. His drunken voice was deep. “I don’t … go home…”
Kirk was built like a mountain. He didn’t budge even though Caroline pushed him. She could only
bend down to look into Kirk’s in his eyes.
Using a tone as though she were coaxing a child, she said softly, “Why don’t you want to go home?”
“My wife won’t talk to me.”
Caroline asked, “Why won’t she talk to you?”
“Because I made a mistake.”
Caroline silently straightened.
Seemingly afraid that she would leave, Kirk wound an arm around her waist. He rubbed his head
against Caroline’s stomach. He really was acting like an affectionate cat.

Caroline put a hand on Kirk’s shoulder Her heart melted.
Caroline bit her lip and said softly, “Go home She’ll talk to you now.”
Really? Kirk looked up. The hard lines of his face were a sharp contrast to the hurt in his eyes
Caroline nodded silently. She reached out a hand. Come on, let’s go home.”
Kirk took Caroline’s fair hand and pulled her into his embrace
He brazenly inhaled her womanly scent.
Caroline got a shock. She said in warning, “Kirk…”
Kirk flipped them both over and pressed Caroline below him.
After some time, Caroline slept deeply. She could sense someone carrying her to bed and softly
wiping down her body.
The next morning, Caroline opened her eyes to find herself lying in the bed of the master
bedroom. Kirk was beside her. His clothes were a mess, and his body was littered with numerous
scratch marks.
Caroline remembered what happened last night in an instant. Heat filled her face, spreading all
the way to her toes.
She quickly shot up from bed and clumsily grabbed her clothes. She ran back to the guest room.
In the mirror, she found hickeys all over herself. She really regretted going to pick up Kirk last
night.
Luckily, Kirk would forget what happened when he was drunk. Otherwise, she really didn’t know
how she would face him.
With her heart in a mess, Caroline took a hot shower. She went downstairs after changing.
Kirk had already set the table with the breakfast he had bought. Who knew when he’d even
woken up?
“It’s time for breakfast,” Kirk called out to Caroline.
Caroline a**ented, her neck turning red.
Kirk seemed to have forgotten everything.
She picked up her cutlery and dug into the breakfast elegantly.
Caroline finally relaxed.
Suddenly, Kirk looked over at her and asked seriously, “Did I get drunk last night?”
+15 BONUS
Mmmmm, Caronne said before quickly ducking her bead even more.
Did I do anything then?”
“No
Kirk quickly smiled.
“What about you?”
Caroline raised her head to look at Kirk. Her breathing was ragged. “What could I have done when you were drunk?”
Kirk was smiling brightly. He rolled up his sleeves, showing his wrist. There was a clear bite mark there. “Then why do I have this on me?”
He sounded innocent and pitiful.
It was as if Caroline was the scumbag here.
Caroline felt her mind racing. Her face was thoroughly red. “H–how should I know?”
“This one… You don’t know either?” His voice was filled with confusion.
The red scratch mark on his abdomen was a clear and annoying sight.
Caroline’s face was burning. “I–I’m going to work!”
After saying that, Caroline ran off.
Watching her go, Kirk put his hands behind his head. He was in such a great mood
Chapter 172
Caroline was distracted all morning. Her mind was filled with the image of Kirk’s scratched–up
abdomen
She had reason to believe that Kirk had been seducing her. He was probably trying to dumb her
down by tempting her and making her forget why they were fighting.
She had to admit that his plan was quite successful
She really couldn’t hold off much longer.
Just as she was about to let her mind run wild, she saw Cheryl walking past the door, seemingly
in a daze.
In the beginning, Caroline didn’t find anything weird about it. But after Cheryl walked past, she
sensed something amiss. “Cheryl.”
A few seconds later, Cheryl appeared at her door, looking distracted.
Her eyes were red–rimmed, and her hair stuck to her face wetly. She looked to be in a ghastly
state.
“What happened?”
Cheryl lowered her head and thinned her lips. She dared not say a word.
Caroline stood up, her hands supported on the table. “Answer me!”
Caroline had a commanding air about her, and it scared Cheryl.
She stuttered out, “I–I was just getting water in the lounge. I heard them dis–discussing you. I said something, and Susan immediately splashed coffee on my face. She said y–you…”
“What were they saying?”
“They say there’s no way you can produce something Mr. French likes with your little bit of skill. They say you’ll definitely lose this competition and embarra** yourself.”
As she finished speaking, Cheryl burst into tears.
Caroline’s expression darkened. She said blandly, “Don’t cry! Come with me!”
Cheryl followed Caroline in confusion to Vivian’s office.
In the office, Susan was telling Vivian about splashing coffee on Cheryl.
“Her boss is useless, so she can only suffer the consequences…”
As she said this, the door was pushed open with a bang.

Cheryl rushed out to prepare the coffee
The commotion had attracted the attention of the others working outside Every one of them tried
to sneak a look
Soon, Cheryl returned with some piping hot coffee
Caroline said, “Splash Susan back
The second she said this, everyone gasped
Cheryl’s face turned white ‘M–Ms Evans Th–that wouldn’t be too nice!”
The coffee was steaming hot. If she splashed it on Susan, Susan’s face would be ruined.
Caroline looked over, abnormally icy “What’s so not nice about it? Didn’t she splash you the same way? What we’re concerned about is giving as good as we get. Splash her back!”
This was the first time Susan had seen Caroline so vicious. She was terrified.
She looked at Vivian in fear
Vivian folded her arms She said, “Ms. Evans, you don’t have to be so ruthless, do you? It’s just some roughhousing between colleagues. The victim doesn’t even care about it. Let’s not make mountains out of molehills and turn the company upside down.”
“Sure‘ Caroline got up and walked to Vivian’s side She smiled as she picked up Vivian’s cup of water and splashed it on her face. “I hope you won’t make mountains out of molehills either, Ms.
Patterson!”
Everything happened too quickly, and everyone was shocked to their core.
Chapter 175
Yet, Jack’s final action seemed undoubtedly like a challenge to Eddy.
Eddy clenched his fists. He felt enraged, as though something precious had been stolen from him. It made him open the car door with a slam. He floored the gas pedal.
With a loud vroom, the Ferrari shot off like an arrow.
Only after the car sped away did the crowd return to themselves.
None of them could believe their eyes.
They hadn’t been dreaming… had they?
“Somebody pinch me! Pinch me quick! Did I see that wrong? Did Caroline Evans actually reject Mr.
Eddy and get into another man’s car?”
Amidst the packed throng, Vivian sneered disdainfully.
When Susan saw this, she started mocking. “That ruffian just now had to be Caroline’s husband, right, Viv? He doesn’t look like someone with money or power. It’s no wonder she’s been hiding
him and doesn’t even say what her husband does. It’s because he’s a disgrace.”
Someone was confused. “From the looks of it, Mr. Eddy was here to pursue Caroline. Why doesn’t Caroline accept the offer and get back with Mr. Eddy?”
“You don’t know about this, do you?” Susan was ecstatic.
“For one, Caroline already married the man. If she wanted to get back together with Eddy, she would have to get divorced first. Otherwise, she’d have people talking shit about her.”
She continued, “Besides, do you really think Mr. Eddy is honestly here to win Caroline back? If he liked her, they would have gotten married by now.
Someone asked, “Then why did Mr. Eddy come? He’s the Morrisons‘ heir. Who could ever make him do something he doesn’t want to?”
For a second, Susan couldn’t answer. She looked at Vivian for help,
-Vivian looked up in the direction where the car had gone.
“It’s not that simple. You don’t understand a man’s possessiveness. Caroline’s life used to revolve around Mr. Eddy. Now that she’s suddenly acting differently, Mr. Eddy’s probably just not used to
- it. Once some time pa**es, I bet Eddy will stop looking for Caroline.”
When the others heard this, they all thought Vivian was right.
“Viv, you sure have it all figured out.

Vivian smurd in the beginning, she had been worried about Caroline agreeing so easily to the
ultimatum
She wondered if Caroline was so confident because she still had Eddy as a trump card Now it
seemed that she wouldn’t have to worry about it at all
Silting in the car, Caroline touched her neck where Eddy had strangled her. Her expression was
dark
There were clear finger marks on her neck.
Right then, her phone rang Gwen was calling her
“Carol, are you free tonight? Let’s have morning tea
Caroline got back into her usual mood and asked with a laugh, “Having morning tea at night?”
“Just come,” Gwen coaxed.
Caroline could tell from Gwen’s voice that she wasn’t feeling well. “Alright, where are you? Send me the address”
Gwen quickly sent her address.
Caroline asked Jack to change directions and head to where Gwen was.
The shop was in the city center. When Caroline got there, the table before Gwen was littered with beer bottles.
When the shop owner saw someone coming, he quickly said, “Sorry, we’re closed.”
Caroline looked toward Gwen. “I’m here for my friend.”
When the owner heard that, his expression changed to one of relief. “That’s your friend?”
He meant Gwen, of course.
Caroline nodded.
The owner looked like he’d just had a weight taken off his shoulders.
“You’re finally here, miss. Please take your friend away. She’s been here all day. We closed ages
ago, but we didn’t feel too good about chasing off a customer. Look at the state she’s in…”
Caroline was stunned.
Didn’t Gwen go to work?
She glanced at Gwen again.
Gwen was currently pouring herself another drink. Her expression seemed normal.

Caroline shook her head. “What are you thinking? I’m only giving an example. It’s been a few months since I married Kirk, I think. I’ve met his family too. But for some reason, I feel like the person I know isn’t the real him. It’s just a persona he’s showing me.”
Gwen replied, “Maybe you’ll get to know him more if you spend more time together.”
i
“Maybe.” Caroline half–heartedly put her hair up.
“Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s drink!”
Gwen raised her gla** and was about to clink it with Caroline’s. But then her gaze fell on Caroline’s neck. “Carol, what happened to your neck?”
It didn’t look like a hickey. On the contrary, it looked like someone had throttled her.
Caroline remembered the marks and put her hair back down.
“It’s nothing.”
“Is Kirk abusing you?” Gwen sprung up as she said this. “I’ll kill him!”
“Calm down.” Caroline pulled at Gwen.
“It has nothing to do with Kirk. It was Eddy.”
“Then I’ll go look for him!” Gwen grabbed a beer bottle and headed for the door.
Caroline hurriedly stopped her. “Gwen, I’m fine. You’re drunk. Calm down first.”
Gwen was truly somewhat drunk. Her body swayed. Feeling awful, she slumped in a corner and puked into a trash can.
When Caroline saw this, she waited until Gwen finished before handing her some tissues and water.
As a cool breeze blew past. Gwen finally felt a bit more alert.
She looked up at Caroline in pain. “Why did that a**hole go to see you?”
“I’m not sure.” Caroline pulled Gwen up. “I’ll take you home.”
Gwen slumped against Caroline’s shoulder and sobbed. “Carol, my poor Carol. If Kirk dares do anything bad to you, I’ll castrate him!”
As she said this, a pair of long legs appeared before her.
Gwen thought she was hallucinating until a low voice sounded in her ear. It was then that she realized she was sure of what she was seeing.

“You won’t get that chance.”
Kirk walked up in large strides and pushed Gwen over to Sean behind him. Then, he pulled Caroline over and looked her up and down. His gaze settled on the bright red marks on her fair
neck,
“Eddy did this?”
Surprised by Kirk’s sudden appearance, Caroline froze. Then, she turned to look at Gwen.
Sean had already helped Gwen to his car. By the looks of it, Gwen was obediently leaning against Sean. They seemed perfectly fine together.
Caroline stopped worrying and looked back at Kirk.
“Why are you here?”
“Answer me.”
Caroline felt a bit pressured. “What’s the point of talking about it?”
Kirk’s gaze darkened. He pushed Caroline up against the wall.
Caroline felt frantic. They were by a busy road, and there were quite a lot of people about.
“Kirk…”
Kirk wasn’t moved. He held onto Caroline’s wrists and pulled her into a dark alley.
Darkness enveloped Caroline, while Kirk’s masculine scent sent her heart into a frenzy.
Kirk held her arms over her head. His warm breath brushed against her face, scorching her.
He kissed her fair neck. It was soft like a feather.
“Does it hurt?”
Caroline’s heart skipped a beat.
Chapter 178
A long while later, Caroline finally came back to herself and pushed Kirk away. Her voice was
softer as she said, “My legs are numb.”
Kirk stepped back and bent to pick Caroline up. “Then let’s go home.”
Caroline looked at Kirk through the warm yellow streetlights.
Kirk’s gaze was deep and determined. His eyes were perfect.
If she had met Kirk before Eddy, she would have surely fallen for him.
She would have sacrificed everything for him without regret, just as she had eight years ago.
But she wasn’t that person anymore.
She wasn’t the same brave girl as eight years ago.
She leaned her head gently into Kirk’s embrace, silently listening to his strong heartbeat. She didn’t want to think about the future.
At least this moment was real.
Since Caroline had a few drinks, she fell asleep as soon as she got home.
Kirk carried her to the master bedroom on the second floor.
By the time he covered her with a blanket, the red marks on her neck had faded. Still, Kirk’s heart tightened because of it.
He took out his phone and called Charles.
“Get someone to teach Eddy a lesson.”
Charles was confused by this. “Sir, do you mean your nephew?”
“Yes.”
Charles paused for a moment before saying, “Alright, sir.”
Although he really wanted to know why, Charles knew better than to ask questions he shouldn’t.
“Did you find the person I asked you about?”
Kirk stood on the balcony. Bathed in moonlight, the shadows made his straight figure seem to sway.
Charles quickly reacted. He said, “We found her. We’re training her now.”

Kirk nodded slightly. Then he said, “How are the discussions going for the purchase of those entertainment companies?”
“They’re in progress. We can make an announcement next month at the latest.”
“Good.”
Kirk hung up and walked back into the bedroom.
In the moonlight, Caroline’s sleeping face was peaceful. Her tensed forehead was relaxed now. She didn’t look as disdainful as she had before.
Kirk smiled and bent down to kiss her red lips.
Meanwhile, Sean had taken Gwen home. She was currently supporting herself against the toilet bowl and puking her guts out.
After she finished, she seemed to be more sober.
When she thought of Sean outside, her face turned red.
Right then, there was a knock on the door.
“Gwen, are you okay?” Sean felt very worried. (1
When he’d found out that Caroline and Gwen were together, Sean had dragged Kirk over to the restaurant.
As soon as he’d spotted Gwen, Sean had felt something he couldn’t describe.
It was as if he had undergone an arduous journey and found the delicacy that he had always wanted.
When Gwen didn’t respond inside the toilet, Sean started panicking. He turned the door handle. ” Gwen …”
The next second, Gwen pulled the door open. She said listlessly, “I’m not dead yet.”
Sean let out a breath. “I brought you some medicine. You’ll feel better after taking them.” Gwen looked up and glanced at Sean. After that, she followed him to the living room. There was a gla** of water and some pills on the coffee table.
“I bought some candy a few days ago. If the medicine is bitter, you can take this first.”
Sean handed a jar of candy to Gwen. The seal hadn’t even been broken yet.
Gwen stared at Sean.
Realizing it belatedly, Sean hurriedly tore off the seal and handed the jar to Gwen.
Chapter 179
Gwen looked at Sean and saw how he seemed to be carefully trying to get on her good side. She felt displeased. “I’m not that difficult.”
As she said this, Gwen tossed the pills into her mouth. Then, she picked up the gla** of water and drank it all.
Sean watched this silently. Once Gwen was done, she smiled.
“I laid out the bed for you…”
“Hold it!”
Gwen got up and said casually, “Sean, about what happened last time. It was a unique occurrence. You’re Kirk’s friend, and I’m Caroline’s friend. There’s no avoiding some interaction between us. Let’s use this opportunity to work this out.”
Sean was taken aback. “How do you want to settle it?”
“Let’s pretend it never happened.”
Seeing Sean pause, Gwen patted his shoulder in a chummy manner. “You’re not looking for me to take responsibility, are you?”
When she said this, their eyes met. It seemed as though a spark of electricity had traveled between them.
Gwen quickly looked away. Her voice was small as she said, “Please, it’s the 21st century. It’s not the Middle Ages anymore. It’s just a romp in the sheets. What’s the big deal about it?”
“So, to you, this is something simple and common?” Sean asked softly.
Gwen could hear some sadness in his voice.
She blinked rapidly. “What else? Don’t men and women get together just because of that? It’s not because of romance.”
There was some slight amusement in Sean’s expression. “So that’s how it is. Alright, I understand what you mean.”
“Then… Then I’m leaving now..
After Gwen said this, she quickly ran off.
It was only when she got downstairs that she realized she was still annoyed.
It was such a pain.
Hadn’t she already made things clear with Sean?

The next morning, Caroline saw some medicine by her bed when she woke up.
“You’re awake?”
Kirk’s shadow fell on the bed. Caroline looked up and saw his toned abdomen.
She let out a squeak.
“Eat the medicine. There’s a good girl.”
Caroline got up and obediently ate the pills.
Kirk smiled brilliantly. “I bought breakfast. Come downstairs for it?”
Caroline nodded.
She kept her gaze lowered the whole time, fearful of looking at Kirk.
She was afraid that her heart would soften into a puddle if she did.
Kirk sat opposite her and looked at her. Seeing how meek she was, he smiled and said nonchalantly, “I heard you agreed to the company’s ultimatum?”
Jules had already called Kirk and told him about it the second Caroline agreed to it.
He was scared that Kirk would be mad.
Caroline raised her head. “How did you find out?”
Kirk didn’t answer. Instead, he asked, “Do you know Corvin French? He’s very picky with designs. Once, when he was collaborating with some other company, he found that their designs didn’t fit his sense of aesthetics.”
He added, “He was willing to pay ten million dollars to break the contract rather than continue. Designing something that Corvin will be satisfied with isn’t easy.”
This was the first time Caroline had heard about it
Still, she said, “Although I’m not completely confident, this is very important to me. I’m a newbie without any experience. If I get Corvin’s approval, it will help my position in the company.”
Kirk narrowed his eyes and a**essed Caroline. The smile lines around his eyes became deeper.
It seemed that Caroline had grown up.
“Do you need help?”
Caroline looked up into Kirk’s eyes. “You’re going to help me with the design?”

Kirk extended his long legs. Under the sun, his bright smile was particularly dashing.
“I don’t know anything about design. But I can tell you that Corvin has been spending the last few
days frantically looking for some authentic Vithalian pizza.”
“Really?” Caroline was stunned for a moment. “You. How do you know this? Do you …
Corvin?”
know
That couldn’t be, right?
Corvin was a huge name in the skincare industry.
How could Kirk possibly… know him?

Kirk didn’t answer Caroline’s question. Instead, he gestured with his chin. “The car’s here.”
It was then that Caroline noticed it was past 9 am.
She hurriedly shoved a slice of bread into her mouth. “I’m leaving.”
Even after Caroline got into the car, her mind was still filled with what Kirk had said. Corvin had
spent the past few days frantically looking for Vithalian pizza.
Caroline pursed her lips.
When she arrived at the design department, she felt like everyone was looking at her strangely.
They looked as though they were taking pleasure in her misfortune. It was as if something big
had happened.
After Caroline walked into her office, she called Cheryl over.
The second Cheryl came in, she quickly said, “Caroline, we’re in trouble.”
“What is it?”
“Just now I heard them say that Corvin French is here.”
“Oh?” Caroline raised an eyebrow. “Then where is he now?”
“He just left. Apparently, Vivian got him to come here. Plus, he’s already looked at her design and
praised it. He’s really pleased…”
The more Cheryl spoke, the quieter she became. “Caroline … you…
Caroline was silent for a moment before smiling. “Then has Mr. French decided to use Vivian’s
design?”
Cheryl answered, “Not yet. But from the way they’re talking about it, it seems like it.”
Caroline was still smiling. “That means he hasn’t decided yet.”
“It seems you won’t give up until the very end, Ms. Evans.”
Vivian had just walked Corvin out. She’d overheard Caroline as she’d been pa**ing by. Confident
about winning, Vivian couldn’t help but mock Caroline.
Caroline looked up and smiled at Vivian. “I don’t have many strengths, but I’m very patient. I won’t give up easily before the results are out.”
Vivian stood straighter and said sarcastically, “I didn’t expect you to be so energetic. But after what happened yesterday, I doubt you can get Eddy to help you anymore, right?”
+15 BONUS
Her words made people burst out in laughter.
Vivian walked a few steps closer. She laughed without inhibition.
“The man who came to drive you home must be your husband, right? Your taste is really questionable. It’s no wonder that your family broke off their relationship with you considering you gave up a Morrison for a poor chauffeur.”
Caroline wasn’t bothered to retort She looked up and said blandly, “Ms. Patterson, it’s office hours right now. If you’d like to chat about my private life, I’ll have countless hours to accompany you in doing that after work.”
The smile froze on Vivian’s face. But she grinned again and went close to Caroline’s ear. She
gritted her teeth and said, “Caroline, you better enjoy your last day. Tomorrow, your position will be mine.
Once she said that, she flounced back to her office in her high heels, looking like she’d already
won.
Cheryl was close to bursting with anger.
“Caroline…”
Caroline waved a hand. “Cheryl, help me buy some things.”
Caroline gave Cheryl a list filled with food items.
“Caroline, what is this?”
“Just buy what’s on the list. Go on.”
Holding the list, Cheryl looked at Caroline worriedly. “Caroline, you weren’t driven mad by Vivian, right? You’re not trying to stuff yourself in response, are you? You don’t have to listen to her…”
Caroline cut Cheryl off and said, “Go quickly.”
After sending Cheryl off, Carolien called Jules.
When Jules found out Caroline wanted to use the company’s kitchen, he was stunned. “Of course
you can. You can use whatever else the company has.”
But then, he seemed to think of something. He comforted her. “Ms. Evans, one failure actually proves nothing. If you regret it, I can talk to Vivian The ultimatum doesn’t have to be enforced
tomorrow.”
Caroline laughed. “Mr. Hawkins, even if it’s a verbal agreement, it’s still binding. Besides, there was a witness present, so it’s effective. Since I’ve already agreed to it, going against my word
would be bad, right?”
Jules‘ mouth twitched.
