The last time Caroline had felt this sad was when she had thought that Kirk had another wife. She
was sad when she returned home.
“Darling…” Kirk handed Caroline a large bouquet of roses.
“Is today a special day?” Caroline was a bit surprised as she took the bouquet and smelled it.
“Today isn’t a special day. I just want to make you happy, darling.”
When Kirk finished speaking, Caroline was surprised to find a necklace in the bouquet. “Well, this
necklace gave me a surprise!”
“Of course.” Kirk kissed Caroline’s forehead. “Do you like it?”
“Of course. I like anything you give me.” Caroline hugged Kirk’s waist, nuzzling against him.
“Did you find out Marietta and I were having our final meal together? Is that why you bought me

Kirk pinched Caroline’s nose. He didn’t answer her question. Instead, he picked up the necklace
and said, “I’ll help you put it on.”
“Okay.” Caroline turned around happily, but a hint of loss appeared in her eyes.
Marietta’s departure made her very sad. Although the psychiatrist had developed a series of
treatment plans for her, she didn’t know how much longer she could go on. She and Kirk…
“Isn’t it beautiful?” Kirk’s hot breath hit Caroline’s neck.
Caroline returned to her senses and hid her fear. She turned around and looked at Kirk with a
sweet smile. “It is, but…”
She held the necklace tightly. “Isn’t it expensive?”
Kirk was stuck at home because he wasn’t working. He didn’t get paid, but he never asked her for
money. He could even buy her gifts. Caroline was very curious about Kirk’s mini treasury.
“It’s not,” Kirk said without blinking. A three–million–dollar necklace wasn’t expensive for him.
“That’s good.”

As Kirk watched Caroline’s smile, he felt a twinge of guilt. She was supposed to be in Macido,
enjoying a wonderful life as the daughter–in–law of the Morrisons.
However, she could only live in this tiny apartment because of his relationship with the Morrisons.
At the thought of this, Kirk’s eyes darkened slightly, and his desire to destroy the Morrisons
became even stronger.
The next day, the news that the Hacketts would be the first to invest in Collins Group after Layla
acquired it became the biggest news in Osbury.
Every citizen, old and young, knew about it. There were even rumors that Eddy was the one who
had encouraged them to invest in the company.
There was another group of people online who wept tears of joy for Eddy and Layla’s passionate

“Oh! I’m going to be dead! This reminds me of some arrogant boss‘ love story. There’s no excuse for
them not to get married!”
“I’m going to take City Hall’s people with me. I’m going to make them marry each other on the
spot!”
“Oh, well, I’m crying happily at their passionate love once again. Mr. Eddy treats Layla so well. But
why aren’t they married yet?”
“It’s probably because of Mr. Morrison Senior’s passing. Otherwise, they would’ve gotten married
as soon as possible.”
“I think so too. Although what I’m going to say doesn’t sound pleasant, Mr. Eddy and Layla weren’t
able to be together because of his opposition. I hope they can finally get to where they want to be
since Mr. Morrison Senior is gone.”
“I’m sure they can.”
The online comments all consisted of fervent wishes for Eddy and Layla to be together. However,
Eddy, who was lying on the bed and reading the comments, frowned in disapproval.
