Chapter 640
“Just kill me, will you? Please, Kirk! Just kill me!”
Kirk watched as Howard begged for mercy. He felt as though he were watching a lowlife squirm and wail in agony,
and he sneered at Howard.
Just then, they heard the sounds of police sirens coming from outside. Howard’s eyes shone with hope.
“Caroline must’ve called the police,” he said.
“You deserved it! It’s all because you didn’t tell her the truth about your identity. She didn’t know that you were the
one who abducted me. So now, the police are here.”
Despite Howard’s taunts, Kirk merely stared down at him as if he were a pathetic person. Slowly, he said, “Those
are my men.”
His words shattered Howard’s illusion of hope. Howard’s eyes turned wide in disbelief as he stared at Kirk. How
could Kirk do something like this just so Caroline would believe in him?
“Aren’t you… afraid of retri-” Howard coughed up blood.

“You’d better think it through. Will you be good so you can go to a better place after death, or will you wait for 20
more years until you can reunite with your daughter and wife?”
“You-” Howard started, but Kirk had already turned away and left the basement.
Kirk met several men at the door of the villa. They looked at him with reverence.
Glancing straight ahead at the car parked just outside, Kirk lowered his voice and spoke to them.
Caroline sat in the car, watching the men who were gathered at the door.
“Hurry. She’s just outside,” Kirk told them.
The men all wore stern expressions and immediately strode into the villa. Meanwhile, Kirk
approached Caroline.
He hadn’t even gotten near the car when she got out of it. She heaved a sigh of relief to see that he
hadn’t sustained any new wounds.

“What’s going on in there?” she asked.
Kirk glanced back at the villa and said, “Let the cops settle it.”
“He caused Grandpa’s death. They won’t let him get off the hook.”
“Yes.” Kirk pulled her into his arms, his cool hands finally regaining their warmth.
“Hey, can you two stop being all lovey–dovey here?” Gwen wasn’t pleased.
“Go back home to show off if you want to.”
Caroline and Kirk stared at each other, laughed, and got into the car.
Later, Gwen suddenly remembered that Sean was still waiting for them. “Oh shoot! I forgot to tell Sean that we
aren’t going to Mayflower Square anymore.”
“Hurry and give him a call then.” Caroline laughed and turned to look at Kirk. She held his hand in hers and rested
her head against his chest.
“Okay.” Gwen heartily agreed to it. After all, she was at fault here.
As she called Sean to explain their situation to him, Caroline looked up at Kirk and said, “I have to head over to
Morrison Manor to help them with the funeral soon. You take care, alright?”

Caroline shook her head. “My conscience won’t be clear if I don’t go.”
Kirk gripped her hand in his upon hearing her answer. After a moment of silence, he said, “Okay
then.”
Sean breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that Gwen and Caroline didn’t suspect Kirk’s
identity. The whole incident was just a false alarm.
“Okay. I got it now,” he told Gwen.
“We’ll meet up some other day then.”
To be honest, it was quite a pity that he couldn’t see Gwen today, but there was nothing he could
do to change it.
After all, this was a critical period. Both Sean and Kirk hoped that nothing would go wrong again.

There was no doubt that Caroline would be mad at Kirk if she discovered his identity.
Now there was the possibility that she would run away and marry Eddy because of Jude’s last
words too. That would be the worst.
