The manager didn’t dare take action without Eddy’s confirmation. Once again, he looked over at Eddy.
Eddy’s gaze was cold as he said, “Go on then.”
Only after getting that answer did the manager run off to get the paperwork done.
Once everything was settled, Caroline walked over to Eddy with the car keys. “Thank you, Mr. Eddy.”
Eddy caught hold of Caroline’s wrist. He said, “Caroline, I’ll give you whatever you want as compensation. Other
than … Layla. Layla means a lot to me, so I can’t—”
Caroline cut him off without any concern. “That’s your problem.”
She flung Eddy’s hand aside and opened the door to get into the driver’s seat. She started the car and left without a
care.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEddy watched her leave, his eyebrows furrowing tighter. He finally understood why Caroline had such sadness in
her eyes. But he really couldn’t do that to Layla.
Although he didn’t love her the same way as he had before, Layla still meant the world to him. Even if the day
came when he didn’t love her anymore, he would still shoulder the burden of taking care of her.
“If I want to repair my relationship with Caroline, then I can’t care about Layla ever again.
Eddy called Kirk’s number and started ranting at him in an upset state. “Uncle, what do you think I should do? I
really feel awful, I hold the key to fixing things. As long as I don’t bother with Layla
anymore, Caroline will definitely come back to me.
“But I can’t do that to Layla … Uncle, why are relationship problems even more difficult than
running a business?”
Kirk pinched the bridge of his nose. With a grim expression, he asked, “What did you say?”
“I said if I want to repair my relationship with Caroline, then I can’t-”
“Not that part. Did you say you gave Caroline a Porsche 911?”
“Yes.” At the mention of the car, Eddy’s mood picked up.
“Although Caroline didn’t want to accept it at first, she did in the end. That means she still cares about me. Oh,
Uncle, do you have any ideas for me?”
Kirk smiled deviously. “I recommend that you run around Easton naked!”

After that, Kirk slammed the phone onto the table, creating such a loud noise that it shocked Charles,
Charles stole a glance at Kirk, who seemed very displeased, his heart still thundering with fear. Ever since coming
back to Macldo, Kirk hadn’t smiled at all.
At the beginning, Charles had thought Kirk was only upset because of the problems with the business deals. But
now that the deals had been secured once more, Kirk’s expression still hadn’t lightened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn fact, it had gotten worse. This was a sign that a huge storm was coming.
Bracing himself, Charles said, “Sir, once we take back that partnership deal with the energy department, we will
settle all the matters here, and you will be able to head back to Easton. Should I prepare gifts for the madam?”
Kirk’s expression immediately turned darker.
Alright. With this, Charles could confirm that Kirk’s bad mood had nothing to do with the disrupted deals. Rather,
they had to do with Caroline. Indeed, only she could calm Kirk’s mood swings.
“Sir,” Charles inhaled many deep breaths before saying with a smile.
“Since you had a fight with the madam, perhaps you could … tell me about it and maybe … I could help you
analyze the situation…”
Kirk glared at Charles, causing him to nearly choke on his spit. He coughed violently.
Looking at Charles‘ wretched situation, Kirk finally smiled. “Sure. Then please analyze it for me. Who was the one
who let the cat out of the bag and let Caroline know about my identity?”
Charles‘ eyes widened as he blurted out, “It definitely wasn’t me!”
