“We did it, Caroline!” Sonia hugged Caroline, overjoyed. She had never dreamed that they would be able to beat Daphne and get the lead role in “Daughter of the Sea“!
Caroline patted Sonia’s shoulder with a warm smile.
Sonia raised her gaze and saw Kirk standing behind Caroline, wearing a mask. His gaze was frosty. She could tell why he was unhappy and deliberately hugged Caroline tighter.
Kirk remained silent at her actions.
All of a sudden, Sonia let out a yelp.
Caroline let go of Sonia out of curiosity. “What’s wrong?”
Sonia looked at a figure standing up from the judge’s panel and asked, “Excuse me! Are you Ms. Dolly Efora?”
Dolly, who had already stood up, turned around on instinct. When she saw Caroline with Sonia,
she quickly turned around and left.
Caroline was stunned for a moment, then, as if she remembered something, her expression
changed. She turned around and jumped off the stage.
When Dolly saw Caroline chasing after her, she hastened her steps. She couldn’t let Caroline catch
up to her.
Neither Kirk nor Sonia knew what had happened. They simply watched as Dolly ran toward the
theater entrance in panic, with Caroline hot on her trail.
Sonia said, “Um, what is Caroline …”
Kirk’s eyes narrowed slightly. He questioned, “What did you say that woman’s name was?”
“D–Dolly. Dolly Efo-”
Kirk had already dashed out of the theater before Sonia could finish.
Sonia was stunned. She wasn’t sure what was happening.
As Kirk followed Carolíne, he took out his phone to call Charles. “Dolly is at the theater. Stop her
at the entrance!”

Charles was in the parking lot at the moment. Hearing Kirk’s words, he was shocked. “Yes, sir!”
Then, he got out of the car.
Meanwhile, in the theater, Kirk grabbed Caroline. “Darling. Stop chasing her.”
“Let go of me.” Caroline forcefully shook off Kirk’s hand.
However, Kirk maintained a tight grip on her hand, refusing to let go.
Caroline was anxious. “Let go of me. The lady who ran out was Dolly …”
Although she was going to divorce Kirk tomorrow, before she did, she still wanted to know why
Dolly had lied to her in the first place.
I already asked Charles to intercept her.” Kirk tightly gripped Caroline’s hand.
“Darling…”
Caroline, who had calmed down, felt goosebumps all over her body again when she heard him call
her “darling“.
She frowned and said defiantly, “Kirk, we’re about to get a divorce, so never call me that again.”
Her words stung Kirk’s heart, but he maintained his composure and said, “Darling, just listen to
me.*
Caroline looked up at him, ridicule swirling in her gaze. “What are you going to tell me? You’re
Eddy’s second uncle? Or did you join forces with him to screw with me?”

“Darling!” Kirk grabbed Caroline’s shoulders.
“Lister to me. I’m not Eddy’s second uncle.”
His words amused Caroline. She said, “Is that so? Kirk, I can’t believe you’re still trying to fool me now. Let me ask you. Is Daphne your other wife?”
Kirk didn’t want to admit it, but she had undeniable evidence, so he could only nod.
“Since Daphne is Eddy’s second uncle’s wife, and she’s your wife, doesn’t that make you Eddy’s second uncle? I can still draw simple conclusions like this, you know.”
“No, things aren’t as simple as you imagine.” Kirk pinched the bridge of his nose.
“I’m really not Eddy’s second uncle.”
Caroline laughed again when she heard his words. She looked at him. “Okay, since you said you’re not his second uncle, explain why Daphne is your wife.”
Kirk let out a harsh breath. As he faced Caroline’s hostile gaze, he clenched his fists.
As if he had made a big decision, he said, “Since things have reached this point, I have no reason
to hide this from you any longer.”
Caroline stared at Kirk, unphased. She wanted to find out what other lies he could come up with.
“Remember that I told you I was abroad to handle my company’s affairs some time ago?”
Caroline raised an eyebrow. She somewhat remembered him telling her that. “I do. What about it?”
“Actually, Eddy’s second uncle, SY Group’s president, gave me this company!”
Caroline scoffed, unconvinced.
Kirk wasn’t phased by her response at all. He continued, “Don’t you feel strange about why I
returned to Easton despite being born and raised abroad?”
Caroline straightened up. She couldn’t resist asking, “Why?”
“Because I’m from SY Group.” Kirk slowly let go of Caroline’s shoulders.
“Back then, SY Group wanted to build up a new market in Easton, but they couldn’t just drop
1/3
+15 BONUS
Kirk was telling the truth. SY Group sent some people to get a lay of the land before they could develop a new market in Easton.
“What does this have to do with the company you mentioned?”
“This concerns Mr. Morrison Senior, Eddy’s grandfather.”
Kirk explained, “Some time ago, Mr. Morrison Senior had been nagging Eddy’s second uncle about marriage.
“So he got annoyed and asked Daphne to pose as his wife to shut Mr. Morrison Senior up. To prevent the man from becoming suspicious, he had to use a marriage certificate from Macldo as
proof.”
Caroline’s gaze was cold as she questioned, “Doesn’t that just prove you’re SY Group’s president?” She had read that document. Kirk’s photo had been on it.
Kirk said, “No. Although my picture was on that document, I’m really not SY Group’s president.
Well, forget it. I’ll just show you the contract.”
Caroline took the contract Kirk handed over, feeling confused.
There were two documents. One was a contract of Eddy’s second uncle handing over King
Corporations, one of SY Group’s branch companies, to Kirk’s father.
They had done it on the condition that Kirk and Daphne register themselves as spouses.
The other document was a non–disclosure agreement. Kirk and Ivan couldn’t tell anyone this
secret. Otherwise, they would have to pay a penalty of 200 million dollars.
Caroline was utterly confused. “What the hell is the meaning of this?”
Kirk swallowed nervously. He looked into Caroline’s eyes, a trace of stress swirling in his gaze.
“He needed a fake marriage certificate as proof, but he couldn’t actually register a marriage with
Daphne. If he did, Daphne had the legal right to take away a part of his property after the divorce.
“So he decided to get a subordinate to register the marriage on his behalf.”
He continued, “Then, using the real marriage certificate, he forged a believable, false certificate to
fool Mr. Morrison Senior.”
2/3
+15 BONUS
“Why did he choose you among the many subordinates he has?”
“Because both of us are Eastonian, and we have the same last name. It’s easier for him to modify
the certificate like that.”
Caroline didn’t say anything else.
Kirk was tense and anxious. He kept staring at Caroline.
This was the best explanation he had been able to come up with after an entire day. If Caroline
didn’t believe him, he was doomed.

Caroline looked at Kirk, not saying a word.
Kirk clenched his fists and held his breath. He felt as if his heart was falling apart from the stress.
After a moment, Caroline finally said, “You weaved a wonderful story, and your logic is sound, but …
She looked at Kirk with dull eyes. “Do you really think I would fall for that?”
Kirk stopped Caroline before she could turn around. “I know you don’t believe me.”
He took out his phone and handed it to Caroline. “You once attended his press conference, so you should still remember his voice. Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe him, right?”
Caroline looked at Kirk’s phone hesitantly. She still remembered Eddy’s second uncle’s voice like it was yesterday because it was distinctive.
But wait. Why was she indulging Kirk again?
“Darling…” Kirk saw Caroline not taking his phone, and sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.
He looked at Caroline hopefully. “It’s just a phone call, right? You have nothing to lose.”
His logic convinced her. She took the phone, and she dialed Eddy’s second uncle’s number after a
moment’s hesitation.
The call was quickly connected, and she could hear his voice. It was calm and assertive, like the
voice she had heard at the press conference.
“You must be Caroline.”
Caroline looked at Kirk in confusion. Kirk returned her gaze with a smile.
Holding the phone, Caroline said with her back to Kirk, “Are you Eddy’s second uncle?”
“Yes, I am. I heard about what happened between you and Kirk. I’m really sorry. My personal
affairs almost ruined your marriage. I feel extremely guilty.”
Caroline frowned. The voice on the phone really belonged to Eddy’s second uncle! How could that
be?

She turned around and looked at Kirk. Had Kirk been telling the truth the entire time?

“Haha, I came up with this evil plan because I didn’t want my uncle to nag me about marriage. I didn’t expect my plan to end up troubling other people.
“How about this? When I have the time, I’ll visit you in person one day, okay?”
Caroline opened her mouth hesitantly. She still couldn’t believe Kirk’s words.
“S–sir, I still find this entire situation ridiculous. Why did you let Kirk register the marriage on your behalf? Was it really because you both have the same surname?”
“Yes.” Eddy’s second uncle chuckled on the phone.
“The best way to make a believable fake wedding certificate is to use the real thing.
“I asked Kirk to register the marriage on my behalf because I didn’t want Daphne to take away
half of my property. I hope you can understand.”
Caroline was silent. After a while, she asked again, “Then why didn’t he tell me this?”
“He must have shown you the non–disclosure agreement. In fact, I was being unkind by coming up
with this plan.
“I knew Kirk wouldn’t agree to my request to legally register himself and Daphne as spouses. So I
talked about this with his father.
“He only found out about this after returning to Easton. We had already signed a non–disclosure
agreement then, so he couldn’t tell you the truth.”
Caroline looked back at Kirk with a complicated expression.
Eddy’s second uncle continued apologizing, “I’m really sorry, Caroline. I didn’t expect both of you
to get divorced because of me.
“All of this is my fault. Kirk really loves you. He’s even willing to pay the 200 million dollars as
penalty for your sake.”
“Really?” Caroline asked nervously.
“Yes. Since he broke the contract to tell you the truth, he has to pay me a penalty of 200 million
dollars.”

“Haha, do you feel bad for him?”
Eddy’s second uncle said in good spirits, “Since you do, don’t get divorced.”
“Sir!”

Another wave of pleasant laughter rang out on the phone. “All right, I won’t tease you anymore. Kirk is incredibly devoted to you.
“Since my problems caused a rift between you two, I won’t ask him to pay the penalty. I’m the one
who should apologize. I’ll properly handle things with Daphne, and I won’t cause you any more
trouble.”
Caroline pursed her lips, remaining silent. At first, she wondered if he had used a voice–changer to
disguise himself. But she never noticed anything strange, even after talking for so long.
She finally put her nervousness in check.
It seemed things were exactly as Kirk said. Eddy’s second uncle and Daphne had a fake marriage.
To make a fake marriage certificate, he had asked Kirk and Daphne to get a real one.
So was Daphne the mysterious woman?
After learning that her relationship with Kirk was doing fine, Daphne had deliberately sent her a
message to make her misunderstand Kirk, leading to their relationship falling apart.
Caroline vaguely remembered she had met Daphne before going abroad, and they had caused a
big scene because of the wedding dress.
When she thought about it this way, things started to make sense.
Н
“Darling After seeing Caroline put down her phone, Kirk walked over cautiously.
“Do you believe me now?”
When Caroline looked at his sad, cautious expression, she somehow felt both distressed and
amused.
“No, I don’t…”
Kirk’s expression shifted in fear. “Darling …‘

Seeing his reactions, Caroline curled her lips into an imperceptible smile. “But I guess I trust you
to a certain degree.”
Noticing the smile on Caroline’s face, Kirk also smiled.
“You’ll have to convince me with your actions for me to trust you fully,” Caroline declared. Then,
she walked toward the theater. Sonia was still in there, after all.
Kirk felt the burden in his chest fade away at the sight. His steps were brisk even as he walked up
to her.
“Darling …”
Caroline barked, “What?”
Kirk took her hand and cooed, “I haven’t kissed you for so long. Can I kiss you?”
Caroline immediately blushed. “You’re insane!”
“Exactly! I’m lovesick!”
Caroline stopped and turned to look at Kirk. “I’m sure you’re actually crazy!” As soon as she said
that, she heard a slap not far behind her.
Caroline followed the sound and sprinted backstage.
When she arrived, she saw Sonia covering her cheek and looking at Daphne bitterly. After
realizing what happened, she pulled Sonia behind her and slapped Daphne with the back of her
hand.
Daphne’s face immediately swelled from the blow. She covered her cheek and glared at Caroline. ”
How dare you hit me?”
“You’re the one who attacked her first. Why wouldn’t I hit you?” Caroline looked at Daphne coldly.
Daphne and Eddy’s second uncle had a fake marriage. But she had taken advantage of it and hurt
others, flaunting the power she never had!
Daphne was trembling in anger. Her anger over losing the leading role in “Daughter of the Sea”
had clouded her rationality.
Now that Caroline was yelling at her, she had nothing else to lose. She raised her hand and swung
her palm at Caroline. “Mind your own business, you bitch!”

However, the next second, her wrist was held in a firm grip, halting her slap.
Daphne stared at the man before her in shock.

His eyes were hauntingly dark. The pressure of his gaze made it impossible for her to breathe.
Daphre only knew one person who was this intimidating. It was none other than Kirk, her fake
husband.
Thinking of her fake husband, Daphne instantly felt emboldened, and she wasn’t afraid of the man before her anymore.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?”
Kirk shook off Daphne’s hand with a sullen look. It was as if he could tear Daphne apart with his
glare.
Daphne looked Kirk up and down, completely unaware of his hostility. “Oh… If I’m not mistaken,
you must be Caroline’s husband.”
The situation would still have been manageable if Daphne hadn’t said anything. When she did,
Kirk and Caroline both looked at her with chilling glares.
However, Daphne didn’t notice anything and continued to mock, “I know you! You’re Caroline’s
unsightly husband. You’ve been married for so long, but you must be very ugly if you don’t dare to
show your face in public!”
Her words made Caroline speechless. Anyone could call Kirk whatever they wanted, but she
absolutely couldn’t condone anyone calling him ugly. If Kirk was ugly, everyone else was a
monster.
“Don’t change the subject, Daphne!”
Caroline walked up to Daphne, dragging Sonia with her. “Why did you hit Sonia?”
“She deserves to get hit! She didn’t have the right to take my role away!”
Her excuses amused Caroline. /‘Ms. Marietta wrote ‘Daughter of the Sea‘, and Collins Group and
Morrison Corp invested in the play. What makes you think the role is yours?”
“The fact that I’m the wife of Eddy’s second uncle!” Daphne spoke confidently, putting her hands
on her hips.
Caroline really wanted to expose the truth that Daphne wasn’t the wife of Eddy’s second uncle.

But when she thought about how much trouble Eddy’s second uncle had gone through to keep it secret, she gave up on the idea. After all, he had helped her before. She couldn’t bite the hand that
fed her
“You’re his wife, you say?” Someone spoke, their voice filled with contempt.
Everyone’s eyes landed on Kirk.
Daphne’s face flushed in anger when she realized that Caroline’s husband had talked back at her.
Am I not?”
“I’m sure you know the answer to that question.” Kirk looked at Daphne sullenly.
Daphne’s heart skipped a beat at that.
Then, she remembered that Caroline’s husband was just an ordinary person. He didn’t have the
power or the chance to be on the same level as Eddy’s second uncle, so she became confident and
bold
Daphne yelled, “Of course I do! You, on the other hand, have been aggressive and pushy. Anyone
else would think you’re my husband instead.”
She sneered, “I want to see who you actually are! How dare you talk to me like that?” As she spoke,
she lunged forward and pulled Kirk’s mask from his face.
Kirk wanted to stop her, but it was already too late. His true face was exposed to everyone present.
When Daphne saw Kirk’s face, her expression shifted. She stammered, “M–Mr. …‘
Kirk grabbed her neck and growled, “That’s right. I’m Kirk, Caroline’s husband.”
Fear appeared on Daphne’s flushed face. Her mouth was open, but she couldn’t utter a single word.
“You must be the mysterious person.” Kirk glared at Daphne.
“You’ve really gone to great lengths to destroy our relationship.”

Daphne waved her hands, her face filled with fear. When Caroline saw Daphne’s reaction, she
thought she was acting this scared because they had exposed her plan.
Little did she know that Daphne was afraid because Kirk was Caroline’s husband!
What was she supposed to do? A fraud like her had shown off her nonexistent power everywhere
she went. Things wouldn’t end well for her.
Just as Daphne was about to collapse from fear, Charles ran backstage, panting. “Sir.”
He noticed the complicated situation and said cautiously, “I’ve caught Dolly.”
Kirk glanced at Charles and dragged Daphne to him. “Take her away. Eddy’s second uncle said he
would deal with her!”
When Charles heard that, he immediately understood that Kirk had gotten out of his predicament.
His true identity hadn’t been revealed.
Charles couldn’t afford to waste any time. He hurriedly dragged Daphne away. Daphne didn’t
return to her senses until she was thrown into the car.
Just like that, the fiasco backstage ended.
Caroline helped Sonia to the back door. Helena was already waiting there. She had rushed over
immediately after finding out that Sonia had gotten the lead role in “Daughter of the Sea“.
When she saw Sonia’s swollen swollen, she asked in distress, “Oh no! What happened to you?”
Sonia didn’t answer.
Caroline answered on her behalf, “Daphne hit her.”
When Helena heard that Daphne was behind this, she frowned.
“Her again? She’s simply doing what she wants because she’s Eddy’s second uncle’s wife. I really
hope she and Eddy’s second uncle get divorced soon.”
Sonia whispered, “That’s enough, Helena. I’m fine.”
“Look at you.” Helena looked at Sonia with distress.

She knew Sonia didn’t dare upset Daphne for fear that she wouldn’t be able to work in the
entertainment industry anymore.
“But don’t be upset. Someone has already helped us take revenge.”

“What do you mean?” Sonia asked in confusion.
“Well.” Helena finally had a smile on her face at the mention of this.
“Daphne always thought she would be the female lead in ‘Daughter of the Sea‘.
“So she had written a post congratulating herself on getting the role and set it to be released at a certain time. As a result, her post ended up getting released at the same time as the official
announcement.”
Then, she continued, “One post announced her as the female lead, while the other announced you
as the play’s female lead.
“Her plans just blew up in her face. Now, many netizens have taken screenshots of both of these posts, sharing them all over the Internet. The comedic timing was amazing!”
Sonia finally smiled at her words.
“You’re absolutely right. But to be fair, everyone thought Daphne would get the role before I joined the audition. So it’s normal for her to write a congratulatory post in advance.”
“You’re right.”
Helena looked at Caroline gratefully. “To be honest, I’m really ashamed. It’s a good thing you insisted on coming here, Ms. Evans. Otherwise, we would have missed such a good opportunity.”
Caroline waved her hand. “Sonia deserves this. She has been working hard to get this role.
Without her dedication, sh
wouldn’t have gotten it.”
Helena added, “You have a point. But if you hadn’t insisted, Sonia would have joined the TV show instead of getting this amazing role.
“I’ll be honest, Ms. Evans. I didn’t believe you when you said you wanted to make Sonia a world- renowned A–lister. But now, you have my trust!”
Caroline’s first successful prediction about Sonia was likely good luck on her end, but getting it right the second time proved that Caroline was just that capable.

With Caroline’s guidance, Helena had complete confidence in Sonia’s future.
Sonia tugged at Helena’s clothes. “Let’s go, Helena.”
She noticed Kirk, who was standing behind Caroline, looking impatient. They had better not be a
third wheel here.
Only then did Helena notice Kirk, and she immediately straightened up.
Chapter 517
Kirk immediately frowned. Daphne had ripped off his mask just now, so nothing was covering his
face at the moment.
Helena’s fiery gaze sent alarm bells ringing in his head, and a trace of hostility appeared in his
eyes.
The next second, Helena walked past Caroline and trotted over to Kirk. She asked excitedly, “E- excuse me, sir. Are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?”
Her question dumbfounded Kirk.
It had been a long time since Helena had seen distinctive facial features like his. He had a masculine and rugged bearing.
A person like him would stand out, even in a crowd of people. That was what she wanted from a
star.
With an impressionable man like Kirk, Helena could guarantee he would become a national celebrity as soon as he debuted.
With the emergence of the Internet, people in Easton hadn’t seen a national idol for decades. If she could sign Kirk, she would be loaded for the rest of her life.
However, Kirk’s gaze remained cold and indifferent as he met Helena’s excited and enthusiastic ones. “Can we leave now, darling?”
Helena’s eyes widened when she heard what Kirk said to Caroline.
He… He was Caroline’s husband! Wasn’t he supposed to be an ordinary person? Why was he so handsome?
Although Caroline knew Helena was enthusiastic about Kirk due to her instincts as a manager, she still felt uncomfortable.
Caroline suppressed her discomfort and pretended to say casually, “Sonia, make sure to go through the script after you go back.
“This is an excellent opportunity. It’ll be helpful for your venture overseas, so don’t let this opportunity slip away.”
+15 BONUS
“I will.”
Sonia looked at Caroline carefully and said to Helena, “Let’s go, Helena.”
Helena had no choice but to get into the car reluctantly.
After closing the door, she still couldn’t resist telling Caroline, “Ms. Evans, your husband is really born to be a celebrity. If he ever changes his mind, you have to call me.”
Caroline smiled, remaining silent. She watched until the car drove away before turning around and walking toward the theater.
Kirk followed Caroline and asked lightheartedly, “Darling, were you jealous just now?”
Caroline looked at him questioningly.
“I noticed it.” Kirk was in a good mood.
Caroline ignored him and continued walking to the car.
In the car, Jack felt a wave of joy when he saw Caroline and Kirk walking together. He became
even more excited when Caroline didn’t object to Kirk getting into the car.
After Kirk sat in the back seat, Jack finally couldn’t resist smiling. He asked, “Did you both make up?”
“No.” Caroline looked ahead, remaining emotionless.
Her words didn’t disappoint Jack. Instead, they made him smile even brighter.
In the past, Caroline wouldn’t even talk. The fact that she had spoken of her own initiative today and allowed Kirk to ride in the same car was proof enough that they had reconciled.
When the car started, Kirk grabbed Caroline’s hand, catching her off guard. Caroline glared at him. However, Kirk looked ahead, pretending not to notice.
Caroline had no words for this man. He was really pushing his luck!

Caroline struggled a few times, but she failed to escape his grip.
She was about to give up when there was a sharp turn ahead. She lost her balance, falling straight
into Kirk’s arms.
Kirk looked down at her with a warm smile. “Are you throwing yourself into my arms, darling?”
Fuming, Caroline pressed on his chest and got up. “Watch your driving, Mr. Jack.”
In the front seat, Jack quickly replied, “All right. I’m sorry.”
However, his eyes were on Kirk.
While Caroline was distracted, Kirk gave Jack a slight nod. He would give Jack a raise when he
got back.
After what had happened just now, the atmosphere in the car had changed.
Caroline tightly held onto the armrest, but she sat close to the car door. She even took out her
phone and browsed through the web to hide her embarrassment.
As soon as Caroline opened Twitter, she saw Daphne’s post.
“I never thought I would get the leading role of ‘Daughter of the Sea‘. I’ve always liked Ms. Weiss‘
works, but I never imagined I would have the chance to play a character of her creation. I feel so
blessed!”
When Caroline opened the comments, she saw many mocking comments directed at Daphne.
“Hahaha! This cracks me up! As soon as she ‘gets‘ this role, the official account for the ‘Daughter
of the Sea‘ production team announces that Sonia got the lead role. This timing is incredible!“”
“Hahaha! This casting has really become the joke of the year! It’s absolutely hilarious! Did
someone trick Daphne? Was she so sure that she would be the lead in ‘Daughter of the Sea‘? Is
that why her post had been scheduled?”
“That’s most likely the case. Before the auditions, I saw many press releases saying that Daphne
was the actress most suited for the role. They even praised her so–called stellar Sarcozian skills!
Haha! I suggest all of you watch her audition and listen to her broken speech!”

Caroline scrolled down and saw someone posting a video of Daphne’s audition.

All her attention had been on Kirk at the time, so she hadn’t noticed Daphne stumbling over her lines.
Someone also posted a video of Sonia’s audition below the video. In contrast to the mocking
comments directed at Daphne, everyone praised Sonia for her performance.
“Wow! Sonia is really fluent in Sarcozian! I feel at ease just listening to her.”
“Now this is what I call stellar Sarcozian skills!”
Unexpectedly, Sonia replied to their comments, “No, no. It’s all thanks to Ms. Evans that I can speak this fluently.”
Fans immediately flocked to the woman of the hour as soon as she showed up.
“Omg! She replied to my comment! She replied!”
“Wow! I heard that Ms. Evans insisted you join the audition. Is that true?”
“Ms. Evans has quite a discerning eye.”
“That’s right! Before the audition, I thought Ms. Evans was awful when I heard Sonia had turned
down all her other jobs for this role. But I didn’t expect her to be thinking on another level!”
“I really admire Caroline’s vision. If it had been me, I wouldn’t have asked Sonia to risk everything
for a role in ‘Daughter of the Sea‘ after knowing that SY Group was investing in it.”
“Yeah! Caroline is really sharp. Last time, she said Sonia would become popular, and she was
right! Wow! She’s really competent! I should get lottery tickets while she’s around.”
Caroline looked at the comments with a slight smile on her face. So this was what it felt like to
help other people achieve their goals in life.
She was about to put away her phone when she received a message from Quentin.

“Darling…” Kirk said softly.
In the front, Jack happened to see Kirk’s docile expression in the rearview mirror. The sight shocked him so much that he thought he was seeing things.
Caroline frowned and didn’t answer Kirk.
Instead, she was reading Quentin’s investigation report. The report showed that the group of thugs who attacked them were actually Jane’s people. Jane was also Brie’s mother.
Caroline slowly connected the dots in her memories.
Back then, she had bumped into Jane and Daphne at the bridal boutique. Although she wasn’t directly involved with Brie going insane, there was no doubt the Collins family held a grudge against her.
This was where things got strange.
After Caroline had returned from visiting Ivan, she had been waiting for the Collins family to come after her. However, they had never given her any trouble, so she had gradually forgotten about it.
She hadn’t expected Jane to be the mastermind of a seemingly simple robbery.
Caroline slowly connected the threads to form a single narrative. Daphne was at odds with her because of the incident at the bridal boutique, and Jane had long wanted to take revenge on her for what happened to Brie.
It seemed that the two women had immediately devised a plan for a mysterious person to send
her a message.
That would make her investigate the fact that Kirk had another wife and cause a rift in her marriage with Kirk.
Then, they had probably been upset that she and Kirk weren’t divorced yet. So they had sent
thugs to rob them.
Perhaps Jane and Daphne were behind the robbery at her apartment, as well as the incident with
the three men at that bar.
Caroline put her phone away, taking a deep breath. She just needed to ask Dolly to verify her
+15 BONUS
Kirk’s heart pounded like a drum at her actions. He asked, “What’s wrong, darling?”
Caroline asked, “Where’s Dolly right now?”
His heart pounded faster at her words. Although Kirk maintained a smile on his face, he had a
trace of panic in his eyes. “I’ll have to ask Charles about that.”
“Ask him then. I have something to ask Dolly.”
“Now?”
“Yeah.” Caroline nodded.
Kirk took a breath with a smile, but a trace of panic appeared in his eyes again. “Okay, I’ll give
Charles a call.”
Under Caroline’s watchful eye, Kirk called Charles. He didn’t know much about Dolly. He wasn’t
sure if she knew who he was or if she would reveal his identity in front of Caroline. “Where are
you?” He asked.
Charles was driving. He answered, “I’m on the way, sir…”
Before he could finish, he heard Kirk’s voice on the phone. “Oh, you’re at the warehouse in the
western suburbs. Okay, I got it. I’ll take my wife there right now.”
Charles‘ expression shifted slightly at his words. He glanced back at the two women he had
thrown in the back seat.
Then, he looked up the address of the warehouse. He said, “Sir, I’ll need more than an hour to get
there.”
“Okay, that’s fine.” Kirk hung up the phone after he was done.
Caroline looked at him. She questioned, “So?”
“They’re at the warehouse in the western suburbs.”
“Mr. Jack, take us there right now,” Caroline ordered. They only needed half an hour to get to the
warehouse from here.
Before Jack could answer, Kirk took Caroline’s hand and asked, “Are you hungry, darling?”

Caroline frowned at his question. “No.”
“But I am!” Kirk looked at Caroline expectantly.
“I barely ate in the past few days because of our fight. Now that things are fine, I finally feel hungry.

Caroline wanted to break away from his grip, but Kirk pinned her hand down. She couldn’t move
an inch
However, Kirk looked at her innocently. “Right, darling?”
Caroline blushed so much that she was about to sweat. “Kirk!”
“Darling…”
“Mr. Jack, stop the car!” Caroline ordered.
Jack did as he was told.
Caroline pointed outside the door. “Hurry up and eat, and get back here when you’re done.” She
really wanted to ask Dolly who had given her the order to deceive her.
Kirk objected, “Come with me, darling.”
Caroline frowned. “Why are you so annoying today?”
He was being so clingy! She didn’t remember him being this clingy.
“I’m afraid you’ll leave me behind.”
Caroline was dumbstruck. Under Kirk’s pleading gaze, she relented and got out of the car.
They walked into a food store. It wasn’t time for a meal, so there wasn’t anyone in the store.
The female owner was delighted to see a handsome man and a beautiful woman in her store. She
asked enthusiastically, “What would you like to have?”
Caroline usually made the decisions when ordering food. However, today, Kirk was acting
differently. He immediately answered, “I want some spicy chicken stew.”
Both the female owner and Caroline were speechless at his actions.
As Kirk picked the ingredients for the stew, Caroline noticed him frowning, looking as if he were
having a hard time.
She remembered the time when she and Kirk had a barbecue together. Sean had teased Kirk
because he had a fancier taste in food. He couldn’t eat regular food like this.

Caroline glanced across the road and noticed a shopping mall with several restaurants. She put down the plate and said, “Let’s go to one of the restaurants across the street.”
Kirk followed Caroline’s gaze, and he relaxed his frown. “Sure.”
The two of them walked side by side to the restaurant. The normally decisive Kirk spent a full ten minutes deciding on a restaurant. It made Caroline suspect that he was stalling for time.
By the time Kirk was done with his meal, more than an hour had passed. “I’m going to the washroom,” he informed. Then, he stood up and left.
Caroline remained seated and played with her phone while waiting for Kirk.
Five minutes later, Kirk walked out of the washroom in high spirits.
Caroline couldn’t resist asking, “Did you win a lottery or something?”
Kirk smiled. “Yeah.”
“What did you win?”
“Something priceless.”
Caroline didn’t understand what he meant, so she didn’t ask any more questions and got up to pay the bill. However, the staff told her that someone had already paid the bill.
She glanced at Kirk, knowing he was the one who paid. So she went downstairs and got in the car without saying anything.
After Kirk got into the car, Caroline said, “Let’s go, Mr. Jack.”
Jack nodded and drove to the warehouse district in the western suburbs.
On the way, when Caroline looked at the time on the phone, she suddenly remembered a phrase she had seen on the Internet. “No one can stay happy after seeing what’s on their partner’s phone.”
After pondering for a moment, she asked, “Can I look at your phone?”
Kirk’s breath hitched at her words.
When Caroline didn’t get an answer, she looked at Kirk and questioned, “What’s wrong? Are you still hiding something from me?”
Kirk pursed his lips and remained silent.

Since he had been in a hurry just now, he had forgotten to delete that message. Once Caroline saw
