Chapter 261
Sean’s eyes widened into saucers as he saw Kirk’s linger nearing the “share” button. He snatched Kirk’s phone from him and yelled. “Have
you gone mad?”
If this were to get publicized, it would indeed clear up all the rumors. But Kirk could very well end up sleeping on the couch for the rest of
his life.
Sean fell like he was sullering too much for the sake of his friend’s happiness.
By the time Sean dropped Kirk back home, It was already 9 pm.
And the reason he managed to send the drunken man home so early was thanks to the brilliant job Caroline had done cultivating Kirk
Kirk’s internal clock was never out of sync.
Around 8 pm, he drowsily woke up and Insisted that his wile was waiting for him at home. He groaned that he couldn’t return home late and that he had to get back no matter what.
Hearing Sean’s words, Caroline didn’t know if she should laugh or cry.
She helped Kirk to the couch while she said to Sean, “Thank you. Sorry about the trouble too.”
Sean shrugged it off.
She glanced at him and asked, “How did he end up so drunk?”
Sean went silent for a moment before saying, “Well, it’s because of you.”
“Because of me?”
“Yeah.” Sean rubbed the skin between his brows and began to fabricate a tale, “Kirk saw the rumors about you and Adrian and felt inferior.
So off he went for a drink.”
Even Sean found himself cringing at this explanation. Kirk was an intelligent man–when had he ever felt inferior?
Nonetheless, Caroline wholeheartedly believed his words.
“I never thought it would cause him such distress.”
It suddenly dawned on her why Kirk got so jealous when she had complimented Eddy back then.
Her actions were tantamount to trampling on his pride as a man.
Seeing the pitiable expression in Caroline’s eyes, Sean couldn’t help but leel the guilt that threatened to engulf him.
But for the sake of his friend, he could only bite the bullet and play along. “Yeah… I guess I’ll leave him in your care.”
Caroline nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Kirk regains his confidence.”
With an apology in his heart, Sean turned to leave.
Back in the house, Caroline looked at her husband, who was sound asleep on the couch. She couldn’t help the grin that stretched across
her face.
She headed for the bathroom and filled a basin with warm water to wipe him down.
As she did so, she couldn’t resist thinking about things.
In fact, she had once considered this Issue before, which explained why she didn’t want the outside world to know who she had married.
If news leaked about the fact that she had married a measly mid–level employee of Morrison Corp, it wouldn’t take long for comparisons between him and Eddy to dominate the internet.
By then, it would only be an even more ma**ive blow to Kirk.
By the looks of it, it was up to her to protect her sweetheart.

Thinking about the word sweetheart her tips pulled into an even wider smile. She leaned down, louched her lips against Kirks and whispered, “Ho–ney.”
She articulated each syllable on its own, making sure what she said was clear as day.
Under tonight’s sky, there existed a unique tendemess.
“You know, there’s no need to feel inferior at all. To me, you are and will always be the best.”
Caroline nestled up against Kirk’s muscular chest and cooed to herself.
Unbeknownst to her, the corners of Kirk’s lips hooked up slightly in a grin.
The curtain of darkness in the sky soon lit up brightly.
As the moming progressed, the aroma from the dining room woke Caroline up.
She opened her eyes groggily and saw Kirk with an apron on, cooking. “Why did you get up so early?”
She made her way to the dining table and was greeted by the dozen or so dishes already laid out neatly. All sense of sleep left her body.
“What time did you get up?”
All sorts of meat, poultry, and fish adorned the table. Was there a celebration?
Kirk flashed her a smile. “Quick, go and freshen up.”
Caroline found herself being pushed into the bathroom. However, she turned back and looked at Kirk, adamant. “What time did you even
get up?”
Wasn’t he beyond intoxicated last night?
“Be quick. Otherwise, the food will cool. It won’t taste as good then.”
She had no choice but to freshen up

Indeed, he was the master chef behind these dishes.
Well, Charles provided the ingredients, but still
By the time he had returned home last night, he had already been sobering up.
Upon hearing Caroline call him ‘honey so affectionately, he had fully awakened from his drunken daze.
Thanks to her loving endearments–calling him “honey and telling him he was the best for her–he could no longer go back to sleep.
Later, he figured that since he would be awake the whole night anyway, he might as well get up and cook for Caroline.
When Caroline slepped out of the bathroom after her shower, she noticed that the chair on her side had been pulled out.
“Let’s eat.”
She asked, “Is your headache gone?”
“It’s still here, just a little. But when I think about cooking for you, it completely disappears.”
“You’re a smooth talker, aren’t you?” Caroline turned to fetch some painkillers for him.
He didn’t take the tablets from her. Instead, he seized her wrist, brought it to his mouth and retrieved the tablets with his teeth.
His lips were cold against her skin, and a tickling sensation crept up her hand.
Caroline quickly averted her gaze to the window, trying to divert her attention.
However, as if intentionally, he leisurely inched closer to her palm again and gave it a little peck.
“That’s enough,” she said.
Just as she was about to retract her hand, he took the opportunity to jerk her by the wrist, pulling her into his embrace.
She fell speechless.
“Darling,” he murmured, burying his nose into her hair.
Caroline could feel trouble brewing. She warned him, “I have work today.”
“I’ve already requested half a day’s leave for you.” 1
She lost her tongue yet again.
As it turned out, even with the morning off, Caroline managed to arrive at the office right on time.
As soon as she entered the room, Cheryl began approaching her with a mysterious look on her face. “Caroline, your neck… Is that Adrian’s
doing?”
Caroline frowned. She took out her pocket mirror and examined herself. It was only then that she noticed the conspicuous mark on her
neck.
She draped a scarf over it. Her tone was stern as she said, “Please stop making jokes about Adrian and me. My husband won’t be pleased.
Cheryl froze. It didn’t sound like Caroline was joking at all..
Realizing that her superior had been serious all along, Cheryl quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Caroline! I truly thought you were in a secret marriage that you were keeping from the public’s eyes.”
“It’s fine.” Caroline waved her hand, gesturing for her to take her leave.
Cheryl couldn’t dispel her unease as she retreated out of the office.

Laroline turned ner computer on. She couldn t snake on Seans words, which were clouding her mind.
There wasn’t any more gossip about her and Adrian online, But she was rather convinced that many others, like Cheryl, still thought they were merely trying to keep their relationship a secret, probably to avoid offending the Morrisons.
Alter some consideration, she eventually opened Facebook.
She started writing a post that read, “Regarding the recent speculations online about Adrian Sorkin and my marital status, I would like to clarify that it is not true. I am married, but my spouse is not Mr. Sorkin.
“He Is but an ordinary person, and I don’t wish for him to receive excessive attention due to my standing. I would be grateful if everyone stopped spreading rumors about us.
“My husband wouldn’t be pleased.”
Once she shared it, the post quickly garnered many comments.
“Ah, so it’s not Mr. Sorkin after all! Boohoo, I can’t believe how quickly this ship sank!”
“Help! How could this be false? They looked so sweet together, too–especially the way Adrian was staring at Caroline.”
“Since it’s not true, let’s not mention Adrian on her account anymore. It does look like Caroline has a great relationship with her husband,
too.”
“That’s true, yeah! But to think that her husband is displeased at just one plece of news… Hahaha, is he the king of jealousy?”
“I’m so curious about who Caroline’s husband is! He makes her life so blissful.”
“Turns out I wasn’t the only one who thought that way, I guess. Since Caroline announced her marriage, it’s become visibly apparent that she’s been happier and more cheerful. When I saw her photo yesterday, I could hardly believe that she was the same person who used to follow Eddy Morrison around.”
“Yeah, her confidence and charm are shining through! She’s radiant from head to toe.”
There were many more comments besides these.
Once the post went public, it didn’t take long for the topic to gain a place on the trending list.
Admittedly, that last statement about her husband’s feelings elicited a mix of emotions in the readers–joy and disappointment alike.
Chapter 263
Of course, the happy one was Kirk. When everyone saw Kirk today, they all wondered if he was an impostor. He was much more cheerful compared to how gloomy and terrifying he had been yesterday,
When Sean came to return his phone, he even dared to mock Kirk, saying, “I don’t know who got drunk at the bar yesterday and almost used his personal Facebook account to post that Caroline was his wife.” Sean laughed.
Kirk saw the draft post in the drafts folder. However, he was in a good mood today and didn’t stop Sean,
Sean also noticed his good mood, so he dared to act recklessly.
“Since you’re jealous, why aren’t you giving her the silent treatment Wait, did your wife cast a spell on you? Is she forcing you to admit she’s always right, even if she’s not?”
Kirk glanced at him and asked, “Don’t you have too much time on your hands?”
Sean said cautiously, “Why are you asking?”
“There’s a good job opening in the ice straits. I should recommend you for it.”
“No! No thanks. I’d better hurry up and help your wife investigate Layla.”
Since Sean said he was helping Caroline, Kirk said nothing else and let him leave. 1
Meanwhile, the atmosphere at Morrison Manor wasn’t as lively.
“See?” Jude pointed to the tablet on the table.
“I told you, anyone would like someone like Carrie. We haven’t even found out who her husband is, but now even Adrian has shown up. Meanwhile, you’re still focusing your attention on Layla. Now, marrying Carrie is just a pipe dream for you!”
Eddy frowned, but this tirne he didn’t refute Jude.
“What are you going to do now?”
Eddy said resignedly. “What else can I do? She doesn’t like me anymore.”
Before this, Eddy had a**umed that Caroline had gotten married to upset him on purpose. But now that so much had happened, it wasn’t a surprise that his resolve was visibly shaken, no matter how confident he had been.
“But you have time as an advantage. Women value loyalty. As long as you treat her well, she’ll slowly return to your side. If you keep entangling yourself with Layla …”
Eddy was a little annoyed. “I really don’t understand, Grandpa. Why do you dislike Layla so much?”
“She isn’t a good person,” Jude said bluntly.
Eddy paused, then defended her, saying, “She won’t do anything to hurt me.”
“How are you so sure?”
“Because
Eddy endured his anger and held back what he was about to say. “I just know.”
Jude frowned. He said sullenly, “So, you’re saying you want to be with Layla no matter what?” (1
Eddy was startled. He no longer had the determination he had before.
Noticing his hesitation, Jude softened his tone. “Although I don’t know why you’re treating Layla so well, I believe you have reasons for
this.”
He looked into the distance, a hint of pain swirling in his gaze. “But in a relationship, you have to make a decision when it’s necessary, or you’ll be in turmoil. Think properly about who you’ll choose.”
Eddy pinched the bridge of his nose. He said, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll get the answers as soon as possible. But please believe me, I have
my reasons for helping Layla get the company.”

When Caroline got into the car aller work, she got a call from Quentin. He said he found Information about the company and sent it to her
email.
She hadn’t expected him to work this fast. She glanced at Jack in front of her and sent Quentin another message, “What about your investigation on Jack?”
Quentin took a long time to reply. “I’m still investigating him. Things are a bit tricky at the moment, but don’t worry, I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this.
Caroline trusted Adrian’s connections. “Then, can you check another thing for me?”
This time, Quentin replied immediately, “Go ahead and tell me.”
She sent him Vivian’s name and job position.
“Not long ago, this woman took her design and joined the Rosebow Contest, pretending to be me. I saw the designs that won, and most were better than this one. So I want to lind out how she won,”
Caroline paused and then sent the user ID, Winsome, to Quentin. She instructed. “This Facebook user also speaks a lot like her. Please check if she’s the person behind this account.”
“No problem.” Quentin accepted the lask readily.
Caroline replied with a “Thank you.” Then, she opened her email and opened the file Quentin had just sent.
Quentin hadn’t been exaggerating about his abilities at all. His Investigation was very detailed, and he had done it in such a short time. She could see how skilled he was at his job.
The drive was smooth, so Caroline could read the notes in the car without any issues.
Desmond Park was the head of the finance department at Evans Group. Before the company’s decline, he had just been a minor employee in the department. Later, Dan had hired him again alter Morrison Corp restructured Evans Group.
According to the document, Dan had hired Desmond himself. Before that, Desmond had spent a year in prison for accounting fraud.
But why would Dan hire a person who had committed accounting fraud?
Caroline didn’t want to speculate too much and continued reading the documents.
Desmond’s private life was beyond reproach. He had been married to his wife for 20 years and had no children.
They had a good relationship, but it was clear that they wanted a child because they tried to do In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, every year, even though they weren’t successful every time.
This year, they planned to try again at Victoria Hospital. However, the hospital had a strict review system and only accepted wealthy people with a**ets of more than 100 million dollars.
They clearly didn’t cover services for someone like Desmond.
Caroline stuffed her phone into her bag and closed her eyes with a frown. The information made her a little breathless.
Desmond had once been in jail for accounting fraud, and there was clearly a problem with Evans Group’s accounts. Had Dan hired him again just to make him forge accounts?
In that case, everything would make sense.
Desmond needed a lot of money for IVF. As the head of the linance department of a small company, he didn’t have a high salary. So he could only take dirty money.
Evans Group had the support of a big company like Morrison Corp, but they still lost money every year. It wasn’t because they were incompetent. The profits had just entered another person’s pocket.
Alter processing the information, Caroline fell refreshed. Now she only needed to ask Desmond to hand over the real ledger to find out where the money went

Caroline felt that the man before her locked familiar. But she couldn’t figure out where she had seen him. So she could only say politely.”
I’m Caroline.”
After Cook invited Caroline to sit down, he took a photo album and showed it to Caroline. “These are the wedding pictures our team has taken in the past few years. Feel free to look at them. If you’re happy with them, we can move on to the next step.”
Caroline opened the album. She was drawn to the photos at first glance.
Each set of photos was breathtaking and unique. Each photo’s style was adjusted according to the couple’s preferences.
Some couples looked ordinary, but with the skills of the photography team, their pictures could still bring amazement and shock to
everyone who saw them.
They had even captured each couple’s dynamic perfectly. She couldn’t find anything wrong with these photos.
As Caroline looked at the photos, she suddenly looked up at Cook.
Cook smiled. He asked. “Is there something wrong?”
“Are you — the famed photographer who took the Queen’s wedding photos, Mr. Cook?”
Caroline had wanted to take wedding photos recently, so she knew some things about this industry.
The wedding photos that Cook had taken for the Queen and King were sensational. Whenever Caroline searched for wedding photos online. Cook’s photos would inevitably appear in the search results.
Over time. Caroline became deeply impressed by his work.
She had once searched for Cook’s information and seen his photos. But she had just taken a quick glance. She wasn’t sure if the person
in front of her was him.

You’re crazy. We can’t choose them all. There are at least 30 countries on this list. Flight tickets alone will cost thousands of dollars. Even if Coor is willing to have the photo shoot for free, we still need to spend money on wedding dresses and stuff like that.”
Kirk frowned slightly. He wasn’t worried about the money, but he was worried that Caroline would notice something.
He could tell that Caroline wanted to travel to many places. As her husband, he had to fulfill her wishes.
However, if he really wanted to do that he had to come up with a reasonable excuse to prevent Caroline from getting suspicious. Fooling
“Then, let’s decide on Macovo for now.”
Kre hugged Caroline and stood up. “It’s getting late. We should go back.”
“Okay” Cook escorted them to the door and handed Caroline the list of clothes for the photoshoot.
“When the time comes, you can go to this bridal boutique to buy a wedding dress. Then, you can just call me when everything is ready.”
Caroline glanced at the name of the bridal boutique and secretly clicked her tongue. Merry Color was a domestic bridal boutique with little
popularity.
It wasn’t because it was unpopular, but because their wedding dresses were very expensive, costing thousands of dollars. Only people from the upper cla** could afford it. Therefore, this brand was only well known among the upper cla**. Other people didn’t know it at all.
Everyone who hired Cook as a photographer was rich and powerful, Caroline guessed that he forgot about Kirk’s net worth in a moment of carelessness, so he gave her this list.
He was kindly doing this for them, so Caroline didn’t say anything and happily took the list.
After getting into the car, Kirk asked, “When will you buy the wedding dress?”
Caroline cocked her head. “In a few days.”

After a pause, he continued, “Til ask Sean to accompany you when the time comes.”

Kirk countered. “It is a trick, but I can’t put our marriage at risk.”

“Come on, don’t look at me like that. Caroline’s the one who called me first.” He smirked. Surprisingly, his smirk didn’t dach with his bookish appearance at all.
He leased, “Are you jealous right now? Are you jealous that Caroline contacted me instead of you? Haha, it feels so good to see you bring jealous to the point where you can’t do anything!”
Kirk stood up, his tall shadow looming over Sean.
Sean folded his arms warily. He warned, “What are you doing? I’m your wife’s good buddy right now. If anything happens to me, she’ll be
really sad!”
Kirk grinded his teeth in anger. He growled, “Just you wall.”
Sean looked at Kirk fearlessly, relying on Caroline to support him. But he got up and walked to Kirk’s side the next second.
He said softly, “Hey, didn’t you want me to accompany your wife to buy a wedding dress? There’ll definitely be some trouble with money. so I’ll say I bought it for her as a gift. How about that?”
Kirk glanced at him and sald flatly, “You’re lucky you’re smart.”
Sean chuckled. “Of course. You won’t settle the score with me alter this, right?”
“What do you think?” Kirk smiled vaguely, took the computer, and left.
Sean was at a loss for words.
Chapter 269
Desmond sat in the cat. He looked up at the hospital entrance occasionally, probably to see if the director was there.
Caroline strode over to the car in her high heels.
Desmond recognized Caroline at a glance. “Ms. Evans.”
Caroline nodded slightly. “Can we chat for a while?
“I’m waiting for someone.”
“I know.” Caroline took out a document and tossed it to him.
Des
Many where your costly annual medical expenses come from?”
en after just one glance at the documents, However, he was still a man who had been in prison, alter all.
He quickly calmed down and said somewhat arrogantly, “My relative gave it to me. Got a problem with that?”
“I didn’t know Dan Evans was one of your relatives.”
As Caroline spoke, she tossed him another transaction record. Although different card numbers were used for each transfer, all of them pointed to one person, Dan.
Desmond’s expression shifted immediately. He tried to start the car, but he couldn’t turn it on because he was too nervous.
He had no choice but to reach out and wipe the sweat off his forehead. He retorted, “Ms. Evans, you’re not my boss. I don’t have the obligation to answer your questions!”
Caroline smiled leisurely. “As long as you tell me the truth, I’ll get the hospital to take you in.”
As she spoke, she turned and looked at Victoria Hospital behind her.
Desmond smiled mockingly at her words. “Do you think it’s up to you? Ms. Evans, don’t tell me you still think you’re in power like before. Only people with a 100–million–dollar net worth can afford that hospital’s services.
“You’re just like me. You can only look at it from a distance.”
Caroline raised her eyebrows and said calmly, “Since I’ve mentioned it, I will keep my word.”
Desmond sneered, “I would’ve believed you if you were married to Mr. Eddy, but I heard from your father that you’ve married a useless
wimp.”
Caroline narrowed her eyes at his words.
Desmond continued rambling, “I know what you want, Ms. Evans. You want the real ledger, right? I’m not afraid to tell you that I have it on me. But you don’t have what it takes to get it from me!”
Caroline was about to say something when a black car drove into the parking lot. Desmond also noticed the car. Not caring that Caroline was outside, he opened the door and dashed out of the vehicle.
Fortunately, she quickly dodged and avoided getting hit by the door. She glanced at Desmond, who was running after the black car, Lips curling into a sneer, she slowly walked toward the car.
Soon, the car stopped, and an old man got out. He was in his 60s and wearing a white coat. 1
Desmond immediately rushed forward and yelled, “Mr. Sherman, I want to do an IVF in your hospital! Please help me!”
As he spoke, he got on his knees. His humble altitude was completely different from how he had treated Caroline just now. This probably wasn’t the first time Desmond had come to beg Mr. Sherman.
Mr. Sherman became Impatient. But he still sald formally, “Rules are rules, sir. I really can’t make exceptions for you.”
Without worrying about his dignity, Desmond hugged Mr. Sherman’s leg and begged, “Please just let me in, Mr. Sherman. I have money. I really do…”

Desmond didn’t waste any time and let go of Caroline’s leg.
Caroline took two steps back and ordered coldly. “I can help you, but first you have to-
Tl give you the ledger right away!
Caroline frowned. “No, that’s not what I meant. You called my husband a useless wind. I want you to apologize to my husband”
Desmond was stunned. He hadn’t expected her to make this request. How was he supposed to apologize?
He was troubled about this, but he didn’t care about anything else when he thought of the child he would have
He solemnly nodded and apologized. “I was wrong. Ms. Evans. I’m the useless wimp. Your husband is a man of honor
Caroline stood aside, silently watching him apologize.
Desmond didn’t know what else to do. His knees were already bruised from kneeling. Seeing how wearily he was, Caroline finally said mercifully. “This is my second condition.”
“Go ahead and ask him yourself.” Caroline took out her phone, dialed Sean’s number, and handesit to Mr. Sherman
Mr. Sherman took her phone doubtully. When he saw the caller C. he started sweating from shoot

Evans. I didn’t know you were Dr. Yates friend. I’m really sorry.”
Caroline took back her phone and said calmly. “It’s not a big deal I came here today to attend your lecture is that?
“Yes. Of course, it’s okay.”
Meanwhile, Desmond was shocked. He didn’t know who they were taking scout. But after seeing how Dr. Sherman’s antude had changed completely, he realized that Caroline hadn’t been messing with him.
Somehow, he found the strength to break free from the security guards. He rushed to Carbines side and hugged her lies, begging. Please
heb me. Ms. Evans!”
Caroline looked down at Desmond and teased. “Didn’t you say I don’t have what it takes? You should as someone else forme. Mr. Panic
Desmond held onto Caroline’s leg and slacced himself with one hand its my fault for taking crac Ms. Evans, it’s better to forgive and forget. Please help me. As long as you do. I’ll give you everything I have
“Let me go first.” Caroline said coldy.
