Chapter 126

Caroline waited for her blush to disappear before looking back at Kirk.

She asked, “Have you heard what happened to Brie?” She didn’t believe that Kirk would torture Brie to

the brink of death. He didn’t have what it took.

“Yeah,” Kirk said casually.

“Who do you think did it?”

“I don’t know.” Kirk remained impassive.

“How did you get out of the hotel that day?” Caroline asked.

Brie had so many bodyguards with her. It was impossible for Kirk to leave that place unscathed.

“The bodyguards had already collapsed after I arrived.” Kirk wasn’t exactly lying.

Caroline stroked her chin, lost in thought. “That means there was another group of people that

day. Could they be responsible for what happened to Brie?”

Kirk held Caroline’s hand. “Don’t think about it too much.”

“I’m just afraid…” Caroline looked up at Kirk tearfully.

Kirk’s heart melted instantly, and he held Caroline in his arms, saying softly, “Are you afraid that

the Collins family will direct their anger on me if they can’t find the culprit?”

Caroline nodded in his arms.

Kirk kissed her forehead. “Don’t worry. The Collinses wouldn’t dare to cause me trouble.”

A smile finally appeared on Caroline’s face.

“You’re right. You have nothing to do with what happened to Brie. Mr. Collins won’t come after

you unless he’s desperate.”

Kirk smiled but didn’t explain the actual reasoning behind his words.

Two days later, Kirk helped Caroline check out of the hospital. Then, he hailed a car to go to the

airport.

Gwen had taken half a day off from work to see Caroline off. She said sadly, “I’ll miss you, Carol.

Caroline was also upset, but she still tried her best to comfort Gwen. “I’ll be back in half a month.

You can video call me when you have the time.”

“Okay, Gwen sniffled, hugging Caroline.

Sean and Kirk watched them nearby, not interrupting their goodbye.

After Caroline and Gwen broke their hug reluctantly, Kirk walked up to remind Caroline it was

time to board the plane. “Carrie.”

Caroline nodded. She patted Gwen on the shoulder. Then, she followed Kirk into the gate.

Seeing Caroline leave her sight, Gwen couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore.

Sean hugged her, comforting her. “Oh, don’t cry. Didn’t she say she’d be back in half a month?” (1

Gwen burst into tears, wailing, “Just let me cry for a little bit! A pig has taken my best friend away

from me!”

Sean’s expression turned dark.

At Morrison Manor, Howard stood up, slapping the table in front of him.

“Mr. Morrison Senior, I have nothing else to say. Since you insist on taking Caroline’s side, don’t

blame me for what happens to her.”

Jude calmly reasoned with him, saying, “I’m not taking her side. I just think it’s ridiculous that

you think Caroline is behind what happened to Brie. The Evans family has been in decline for

years, and she’s just one woman. How can she do something like this?”

“Then, it has to be her husband.” Howard’s face was flushed with anger. “Otherwise, Brie wouldn’t

keep repeating their names.”

Jude said, “I understand that you want to avenge your daughter, but…”

Howard waved his hand, cutting him off. “Enough, Mr. Morrison Senior. I came here to inform you

of my intentions. If you insist on meddling with my plans, don’t blame me for what happens.” With that,

he stormed out of the room.
