Chapter 356


    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 … La. La 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.


    Eddy 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 La.


    Although he didn’t love her the same way as he had before, La 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 rtionship with Caroline, then I can’t care about La 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 La

    anymore, Caroline will definitelye back to me.


    “But I can’t do that to La … Uncle, why are rtionship 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 rtionship 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 ept 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 rmend that you run around Easton naked!”

    After that, Kirk mmed the phone onto the table, creating such a loud noise that it shocked Charles,


    Charles stole a nce at Kirk, who seemed very displeased, his heart still thundering with fear. Ever


    sinceing 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.


    In fact, it had gotten worse. This was a sign that a huge storm wasing.


    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 red 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!”
