Chapter 843
Michael was puzzled by Kirk’s reaction. He had expected Kirk to be overjoyed by the news.
After all, Sean had mentioned that Kirk was rather distraught because he couldn’t be with Caroline. He could only follow her and watch her from afar every day.
Just hearing about that had made Michael feel sorry for him.
At first, Kirk could only appear in front of Caroline in disguise. Now, he could even stay by her side directly. Why wasn’t he happy?
“Caroline knows that I have someone in my heart, but she doesn’t know that the person is her. And I can’t
tell her yet.”
Kirk sat down in a chair, his voice dripping with helplessness.
Realization hit Michael when he heard that. “No way…”
Kirk was finally able to stay by Caroline’s side without any restrictions. But now that she knew Kirk had
someone in his heart, she might start avoiding him.
Michael didn’t know what to say to comfort Kirk at the moment.
Even if Kirk was successful in business, he was a bit unlucky in love.
Meanwhile, Marietta was starting to get anxious as she waited in her villa. She had been waiting for Caroline for hours, but the latter still hadn’t shown up.
She looked at Yvonne, who was sitting on the couch, leisurely chewing on an apple. “Yvonne, would you mind calling the Yates family? It’s been so long, so why hasn’t Carrie still reached?”
“Mom, don’t worry,” Yvonne said, taking a big bite of her apple. She seemed to be savoring the apple, as if
it were Caroline herself.
When she was finished, she casually remarked, “Caroline is probably just running late because of traffic.
She’s not in any danger.”
“Even if it’s a long drive, it shouldn’t take three hours. I’ll give the Yates family a call just to be sure,”
Marietta said, reaching for her phone to call Betty.
Yvonne rolled her eyes at Marietta’s back.
Of course, Caroline wouldn’t show up today. In fact, she wasn’t going to show up ever again!
Meanwhile, Marietta called Betty’s number. “Betty, it’s getting late. Why hasn’t Carrie arrived yet?”
Betty had already received the news. Caroline was fine, but she had a traumatizing experience. Betty had
been furious when she heard about it.
“Don’t say anything. I can’t believe Caroline was attacked on the way. I’m going over there right now,” she
said.
Marietta’s head felt like it was going to explode. She felt like her heart was being squeezed in a vice-like
grip. It hurt so much that she inhaled sharply.
“Betty, which hospital are you going to? I’ll go with you.”
Yvonne heard the word “hospital” and guessed that Caroline must be in the hospital. She immediately
curled her lips in a smug smile.
After getting the address from Betty, Marietta ended the call and immediately got up to leave. It was only
then that she remembered Yvonne.
“Yvonne, Caroline -”
“Mom, I just heard.”
Yvonne stood up with feigned concern. “Is Caroline okay?”
Marietta sniffed, “I don’t know for sure right now. I have to go to the hospital to find out.”
Yvonne said, “I’ll go with you.”
Marietta looked at Yvonne as tears welled up in her eyes. She hadn’t cried in decades, and the sudden
rush of tears caught her by surprise.
After getting in the car, the two of them headed straight for the address that Betty had given them.
When they arrived at their destination, Yvonne realized that something was wrong with the location.
The sign at the entrance didn’t say “hospital”. It said “psychology clinic”.
Yvonne pondered whether Caroline had escaped physical harm, only to be left with psychological trauma
from the psychopath’s torture.
It was a pity Caroline hadn’t died. However, it was fine. After all, women who had been assaulted were
very prone to madness.

Mentally unstable people were a bother. From now on, Adrian probably wouldn’t perceive Caroline as
beautiful but repulsive.
As Yvonne thought about that, a faint smile crept onto her lips.
Marietta had just turned to ask Yvonne something when she caught a smile on the latter’s lips. She blinked, then noticed Yvonne looking at her with a frown.
“Mom, what’s wrong?”
Marietta clutched her chest, feeling her heart pound wildly.
She must be seeing things just now.
Even if Yvonne hadn’t liked Caroline before, she couldn’t have smiled at such a critical moment. Now that
she was willing to change her mind about Caroline, it was even more unlikely.
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.
