Chapter 827
After Yvonne left, a man in the room spoke with a husky voice, “That woman didn’t notice me despite I was here for a long time. Are you sure that stupid errand girl can kill Caroline for you?”
It was Finn.
He had come there with Avery. With the black clothes he was wearing, he blended into the darkness
perfectly.
No wonder Yvonne hadn’t been able to spot him.
Hearing what he said, Avery sneered and looked up. “I’m not using her. To me, she’s just a bait.”
She was just a bait to lure someone, who would actually perform the task, out.
Finn put on a mysterious smile and said, “How about Eddy? He adores Caroline so much. If he finds out that you intend to kill her … Aren’t you afraid he’ll turn against you?”
“Oh, c’mon.” Avery jeered at him.
“He’s just like a kid who didn’t get his toy. Yes, he adores Caroline. But I bet he doesn’t have that kind of courage to put himself and the Morrisons at stake just for her.”
Finn lightly tapped on the face mask. He neither agreed nor objected to what Avery had said.
Avery suddenly turned her head and looked at Finn. “Besides, if your plan succeeds, who else will still
care about him?”
Finn said with an eager tone, “What if it doesn’t?”
Beneath the colorful lighting, Avery’s expression darkened. She turned around and made a clicking sound while walking in her heels. “Actually, I feel like the chance of succeeding is high.”
After all, she was using a fatal method this time. Nobody could escape it.
It was 10:00 pm. With much reluctance, Adrian finally left Yates Manor.
Even though he wanted to stay with Caroline, he couldn’t help feeling annoyed when he saw her chatting
with Kirk happily.
What Sean had said came to Adrian’s mind again when he got in his car.
Should he really give up?

Adrian looked up to the sky. It was the first time he wanted to give up.
At the same time, Kirk was still in the living room.
Betty teased Caroline, “Carrie, you were outside for the whole day. Aren’t you tired? Why don’t you head upstairs to rest?”
Caroline shook her head.
She had no idea why she could chat non-stop with Mr. Y without feeling sleepy at all.
Mr. Y resembled a deep abyss with no end, who could surprise her from time to time.
Besides, he was also like an old friend who knew her well. So, they resonated a lot of times.
Betty looked at Caroline. “You silly child,” she thought.
She said, “Then I’ll head upstairs first.”
After Betty left, Caroline and Kirk were the only ones in the living room.
In a soft tone, Kirk spoke, “Maybe you should go to bed.”
Caroline pouted. “I don’t feel sleepy. I still want to chat with you. Also, if I let you go now, I don’t know
when I’ll meet you again.”
Seeing how much Caroline relied on him, Kirk felt like countless needles were pricking his heart.
He couldn’t hold her in his arms, even though she was right in front of him.
“Mr. Y, can I ask you a question?” Caroline’s voice interrupted his thoughts.
“Of course,” Kirk answered.
“Did you go through a life-changing event?” Caroline’s question put Kirk in shock.
“What makes you think so?” he asked, trying to suppress his emotions.
“Because I feel that your eyes are filled with sorrow as if you are holding something back.”
Caroline stared into his eyes. As though enchanted, she leaned closer.
Kirk could clearly feel Caroline’s breath brushing on his cheek even through the mask.
Betrayed by her fiancé, Caroline Evans decides on a whim to marry someone else. Everyone mocks her for the decision of giving up on the heir to the Morrison family and choosing some poor punk instead. However, that poor punk is actually secretly the top wealthiest person around, newly back in the country to invest in its development. He’s also her ex’s uncle! Lamenting about being tricked, Caroline Evans insists on a divorce. But her husband corners her and says unblinkingly, “That billionaire is not me. That guy had cosmetic surgery to look like me.” Looking at his handsome face, Caroline believes it. “What a curse to have the same face as someone of the Morrison family!” The next day, the world is surprised to find that the heir of the Morrison family has been kicked out and now has nothing. As for the newly crowned top billionaire, he starts wearing a mask to hide his attractive features.
