Chapter 72


    Brie’s expression shifted. “I can’t believe you’re still being stubborn, Caroline. Let me ask you, is the


    ceramic vase you gave Mr. Morrison Senior really yours?”


    “Why does it matter?”


    Brie smirked. “Because the vase isn’t even yours. It belongs to Eddy’s second uncle! You passed off


    his gift as your own because he didn’t attend the birthday banquet! Shame on you!”


    The spectators outside the door included many people from wealthy social circles. News about


    Caroline’s gift had already spread like wildfire among them. Their expressions shifted after hearing that


    it was a scam.


    “I knew it. There’s no way a small family like the Evans family can get a ceramic vase.”


    “So, she stole Eddy’s second uncle’s gift?”


    ‘His second uncle? I heard that he’s very powerful. If he finds out about this, things definitely won’t end


    well for Caroline …”


    Remaining silent, Caroline narrowed her eyes, looking coldly at Brie.


    Brie had found out that the ceramic vase belonged to Eddy’s second uncle and barged into the hospital


    to make a big scene so that she


    could publicly embarrass Caroline.


    Brie didn’t care if Caroline was disgraced, but she couldn’t let Kirk’s reputation be ruined.


    Caroline smirked andughed. “The fact that he’s willing to give the vase to Grandpa in my name


    means that he’s fond of me. Are you


    upset because you’re jealous?”


    Caroline’s words struck a nerve, making Brie angry. Brie yelled, “What a joke! Why would I be jealous


    of you? Besides, you can’t prove that his second uncle gave it to you voluntarily.”


    Theckeys that Brie had brought along began mocking Caroline.


    “She’s just ttering herself. She has the guts to boast like this because she knew Eddy’s second uncle


    wouldn’t attend the birthday banquet.”

    Brie bit her lic, mustering the courage to exin herself. “Mr. Worrison Senior, identally discovered


    that the ceramic vase Carpine gave you didn’t belong to her. It belongs to Eddy’s second unce.”


    Jude raised an eyebrow. He had a stem expression, devoid of the kindness Ted STown Carpine. “What


    are you trying to say?


    Brie exined anxiously. “Mr. Morrison Senior, she’s passing of someone else’s git as rets. She’s a


    deceitful person. If we don’t expose her lies, she won’t change her ways


    Jude’s expression was as dark as night. He sat down on the couch with Carpine’s reb. He stomped his


    walking cane to the ground with a loud bang.

    “It seems that I misjudged your change in attitude a few days ago. Ws. Colire. You stil don’t know your


    mares.


    Brie’s face tumed pale as she tried to exin, saying “Mr. Morison Senior, -t’s not what you think. I was


    just afraid that Eddy’s second uncle had been deceived, so I was desperate to ask Caroline for an


    exnation.


    Jude smiled. He countered. “Let me ask you this in rear. What right do you have to worry about these


    things?


    Brie blinked and answered. “My right as his fiancés, of course.*

    Jude chuckled. “Since when were you his fiancée?” He wasn’t aware that something like this had


    happened.


    Brie exined, ‘Didn’t you agree to my request at your birthday banquet?”


    Jude frowned, trying to recall their conversation. Finally, he said. “I was referring to visiting your home


    to appreciate your paintings. What else would I be referring to?”


    —


    Brie’s face turned even paler from shock, but she quickly said. “But at your birthday banquet you let me


    into the main hall —* That was an unprecedented privilege. She’d thought that it was an


    acknowledgment in disguise.


    Jude exined reasonably. “Eddy’s second uncle is married, so your engagement with him is null and


    void. To make up for it, I asked the butler to let you into the main banquet hall.‘


    Brie was stunned. She thought, “How could it be? How could Eddy’s second uncle be married?”


    The people who’de here to watch the drama enjoyed Brie’s misfortune. The tables had tumed, and


    Brie had be aughingstock.


    Looking at the distraught Brie. Jude sighed and said, ‘Carrie, let me take
