Chapter 834
“Yes, all of them,” said Kirk nonchalantly.
Sean knew what this could lead to, so he couldn’t agree to it. “You can’t do that. You’re giving Finn the chance to strike. Don’t forget that he’s after SY Group now.”
Back then, Finn had had his eyes on Ivan’s company. After Kirk had found out, the two of them had parted
ways.
In reality, Finn was an orphan, but Ivan had adopted him and brought him to Morrison Manor. No one had expected Finn to be a cruel and cunning wolf, despite his young age.
He had been eyeing Ivan’s wealth ever since he had moved into the manor. If he found out about Kirk
moving all his men to protect Caroline, he would surely make a move.
After all, it wasn’t the first time he had played a trick like that.
“Caroline mustn’t get hurt.”
“But you can’t protect her if you lose SY Group either!” Sean seethed.
Their voices attracted both Caroline’s and Betty’s attention.
“What’s wrong?” Betty asked. She knew that the two men were good friends and that Sean usually
wouldn’t talk back to Kirk. It was a rare sight to see the two of them arguing.
Feeling nervous, Caroline looked in the men’s direction too, but her eyes automatically locked on Kirk.
Kirk furrowed his brows when he noticed the worry in her gaze. “We were discussing something about
work and had some disagreements. We’ll reach an agreement. Don’t worry.”
Betty turned to look at Sean, who sighed helplessly and said, “Yeah, it’s no big deal.”
Despite what they said, Caroline and Betty weren’t fools enough to buy it. Since they couldn’t help out,
Betty decided not to dwell on the matter.
“Fine then. You two can discuss it after the meal,” she said. Then, she turned to head into the kitchen.
The atmosphere at the dining table was rather somber. This time, even Betty, who was usually pretty
good at easing the tension in the air, failed to do anything to heighten their spirits.
After finishing his food, Sean went upstairs to the second floor. Kirk turned to Caroline and asked, “What
are you going to do?”

Kirk’s tall frame blocked Caroline’s line of sight. She couldn’t see Sean behind him, so she tore her eyes away from the stairs.
“I don’t know.” She had led a relaxing and carefree life ever since she lost her memories, so she didn’t have much of a plan for the future.
Before, her plan had been to marry Eddy. She had no plan to follow now, but she didn’t panic because Mr.
Y was here with her.
She had a gut feeling that Sean and Mr. Y had gotten into a fight because of her. She had heard snippets
of their conversation, albeit not much.
Still, if the two good friends turned against each other because of her, she would feel overwhelmed with
guilt.
Pursing her lips, she couldn’t stop herself from asking, “Mr. Y, did I trouble you?”
Kirk froze briefly before telling her in a soft voice, “No. You’re never trouble to me.”
“But I heard you two talking about me just now,” she said.
“Mr. Yates doesn’t want to keep me here anymore, is it? To be honest, I think I’m causing him too much.
trouble.”
Seeing Kirk’s eyes water, she asked in surprise, “Mr. Y… why are you crying?”
What had she said to make him cry?
Helpless, she reached up to wipe away the tears on his mask. The instant she touched it, she felt as if electricity had shot right through her hand and into her body.
–
It sparked flashes of memories in her mind, but when she tried to recall them, she couldn’t remember a
thing.
Feeling even more helpless now, she stood and stared blankly at him. She felt as if something had just slapped her in the face.
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.
