Chapter 549
The entryway was packed with people.
Howard elbowed through the layers of the crowd and finally managed to squeeze to the front.
A Lamborghini was parked at the entrance to the Collinses‘ residence. Looking at the shape of the car, it seemed to
be a Concept S.
Since it was a convertible, everyone could see that a man in shades sat in the car. He had an oppressive bearing.
He was in a black suit, and his expression was tight.
All the crowd could see were his sexy lips and tall nose bridge.
After a long while, Howard seemed to think of something and hurried forward to open the door. Mr. Kirk, you’re
finally here.”
Behind his shades, Kirk’s gaze was sharper than a knife.
Even through the lenses of the sunglasses, Howard felt such a chill that he shivered. “Mr. Kirk?” he asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKirk raised his chin slightly as he walked straight into the living room.
With that, Howard let out a relieved breath and followed behind Kirk.
Eddy hadn’t made his way outside with the others. Instead, he had stayed and waited in the living
room.
When he saw Kirk, he immediately went up. “Uncle Kirk.”
Damien and Aiden quickly turned to focus their gazes on Kirk.
They raised their eyebrows at the sight, thinking that it wasn’t surprising that Kirk was the
richest man in Sarcozia. After all, no one else in Easton had the kind of charisma he did.
“Mr. Kirk.” The two men stood up and greeted Kirk as well. Although they were the heads of their respective
families, they felt small when standing before Kirk.
Kirk looked up slightly and went over to Jude before taking off his shades.
“Uncle Jude.”

Jude looked Kirk up and down before chuckling. “Kirk, it’s been such a long time since I’ve seen you. I thought you
forgot you had an uncle.”
Kirk smiled but didn’t respond.
Jude continued, “Did you get thinner? Have you been so busy lately that you haven’t been having proper meals?”
He sighed. “Your father wanted you to get married because he wanted someone to help look out for you. It seems
that your wife isn’t doing a very good job.”
Kirk’s eyes narrowed. His sharp instincts told him that Jude’s words had a different meaning.
Still, he answered smoothly, “Uncle Jude, everyone is a unique individual. No one would change just because they
got married.
“I don’t have many expectations of … Daphne. She just needs to do what she should as my wife.”
“Grandpa, we’re in Mr. Collin’s home,” Eddy reminded Jude softly.
This wasn’t the right place to talk about family matters. It was best to wait until they went home to discuss such
things.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJude smiled. His gaze was still pinned unblinkingly on Kirk.
Simon had already investigated things. Indeed, Caroline had managed to beat Evanson Corporation on her own
without external help.
It was also her own capabilities that allowed her to help that minor celebrity, Sonia Norman, win a huge role.
But…
During this time, Daphne had suddenly announced to the public that she had to step away from acting for a while
because she had gotten sick.
Jude had had someone look into it and found that Daphne wasn’t sick at all. Rather, she had been kept under
lockdown at home.
It was clear to see that this was Kirk’s doing. Needless to say, this confused Jude.
What had Daphne done to make Kirk lock her up at home?
At the beginning, when Kirk had introduced Daphne d
marriage was a fake one.
Now, with this, he was even more sure that he had been tricked.
If he had truly been tricked, then he wouldn’t be able to act as if nothing of the like had happened.
