Chapter 357


    Kirk took out a cigar from the box on the table, put it between his lips, and lit it up. Smoke rose in


    billows, shrouding his face so that his expression was hidden.


    Usually, when he was with Caroline, Kirk didn’t smoke much. For one thing, he didn’t want Caroline to


    inhale the second–hand smoke.


    For another, he worried that the expensive cigars would betray his identity to Caroline, and he wasn’t


    used to smoking cheap cigarettes.


    Thinking about how he wouldn’t have this worry again in the future, the look in Kirk’s eyes became


    grimmer.


    The tension that rose from this nearly suffocated Charles. He defended himself in a pitiful manner. “Sir,


    there’s really no way that it was me. Think about it. I follow you around every day and hardly ever


    interact with the madam. How could I have given away your identity?”


    Kirk looked up, his eyes narrowing. “Alright, it’s not you. Then who was it?”

    Hearing this, Charles knew that Kirk didn’t suspect him. He secretly let out a breath and wiped away


    the sweat on his forehead.


    “About that… I really don’t know, but…”


    Charles‘ eyes brightened. “Let me check who the madam has been in contact withtely.”


    After saying that, Charles rushed out of the office once he saw that Kirk wasn’t going to stop him. He


    went to look for his colleagues in the technical department.


    Seeing the door slowly close, Kirk threw himself on the couch with a dark expression. Once again, he


    returned to his memories of Macovo.


    Everything had been great at the start until that day when they got back from the hospital. That night,


    Caroline had gone back upter than he had. After that, everything had changed.


    So something must have happened that night!


    Kirk pinched the bridge of his nose.


    He had settled nearly everything already. In the past, he would have gone back to Caroline’s side long


    ago.


    Now, he wanted very much to return, too, but he knew that he couldn’t just do that. First, he needed to


    investigate what had happened.


    He didn’t want this marriage to get to the point of no return.

    Kirk picked up his phone and looked at Caroline’s photo. Doing so dispelled the shadows that seemed


    to follow him.


    After looking for a while, he called Jack. “Follow Caroline for the next few days, no matter where she


    goes. Don’t let here into contact with any men!”


    With the troubles that had sprung up in Sarcozia, Kirk refused to let Eddy use this chance to try and


    steal Caroline away.


    Caroline drove the car back to Evans Group. When she got to the lobby, she texted Gwen about the


    good news.


    In response, Gwen immediately sent a long string of exmation points.


    Then, she said, “Eddy has really had a personality transnt. That’s the only reason he would


    apologize to you. Don’t tell me he’s finally seen how great you are and wants you back?”


    Recalling what Eddy had said, Caroline replied, “Impossible. I think he was worried I would understand,


    so he said it to me straight. He can give me materialpensation, but I can’t ask for La to do


    anything aspensation.”


    Gwen’s temper red when she saw Caroline’s text. “Has La put a curse on Eddy or something?


    She’s tricked him so well that he defends her so much. I’m honestly impressed.”


    Caroline didn’t know either. As she started thinking about it, the elevator doors opened.


    Caroline put her phone away and walked out. Just as she did, she heard the noisy voicesing from


    the entrance of Evans Group.


    Getting closer, Caroline saw that it was La making a fuss. What a coincidence!
