    Chapter 691


    A few hourster, Caroline was drenched in sweat while lying on top of Kirk. Stubbornly, she


    asked, “So does this mean that you agree?”


    Kirk was silent for a second before he nodded.


    Gleefully, Caroline nted a kiss on his cheek. “Kirk, you’re the best.”


    Holding Caroline close, Kirk couldn’t help but feel exasperated. It seemed that he hadnded


    himself in some trouble. In a few days, he had to get someone to pretend to be him. He hoped that


    when Caroline learns of his true identity, she wouldn’t remember this little incident.


    After Jude’s passing, Eddy moved into the Morrison residence. In the residence, Eddy felt as


    though Jude was still lingering.


    “I’m sorry.” Eddy brushed his hands across the surface of the table Jude frequently used. ”


    Grandpa, I’m really useless. I’m not able to fulfill your final wish. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure


    Caroline bes your granddaughter–inw. That way, your regrets won’tst forever.”


    He added, “I’ll also investigate Caroline’s husband and verify if it is indeed Uncle Kirk.”


    After the funeral, Eddy had gotten Simon to ask the airline to check. True enough, Kirk had gone


    to Newonia. Someone had even snapped a photograph of Kirk’s silhouette. The photo wasn’t very


    clear, but he could recognise Kirk at a nce. Afterall, Kirk was someone Eddy had always


    idolized.


    “Mr. Eddy.” Simon knocked on the door before opening it. Finding Eddy back in Jude’s study, he


    sighed soundlessly. “Ms. Evans is here.”


    “Caroline’s here?” Eddy turned and headed for the door. But before he got there, he found La


    standing by it. With that, the smile on his face froze instantly.


    Simon rified sheepishly, “Not Ms, Caroline, it’s Ms. La,


    “Alright, you may go now,” Eddy walked toward La.


    Spotting Eddy, La immediately put on a pitiful look, “Eddy, I–I’m so d I can finally see you.


    Eddy frowned. “Why are you here to see me?”

    “Eddy, shouldn’t you ask me about what I suffered in there?” La put on a tearful expression. “I-”


    Eddy cut her off brutally. “You brought that on yourself. Did you even know what you were doing?


    You nearly killed someone!”


    Stunned, La stared at Eddy. “Eddy, you’ve really changed. You didn’t use to be like this…”


    “That’s because I spoiled you in the past and allowed you to be so reckless. You even faked a disease


    and was nearly the cause of Caroline’s death. La, you saved my life, so I usually let you do whatever


    you want. But from today onward, I won’t let you hurt Caroline again.”


    La felt like she’d been hit hard. She said in disbelief, “Eddy, you’ve really changed. Alright. Since you


    no longer care about me, I won’t persistently pester you anymore. But can you do me onest favor on


    ount of the fact that I once saved you?”


    “What favor?”


    Eddy finally felt some relief as La wasn’t making a huge fuss.


    “Have you heard about the acquisition of the Collins Group?”


    “Of course I have.”

    La looked right into Eddy’s eyes. “Well, I want it.”
