Chapter 367
Listening to their mocking laughs, Daphne finally relieved some of the anger she had pent up from the incident in
the bridal boutique.
Hence, she didn’t say anything in Caroline’s defense, even though she knew Caroline was Sean’s wife and someone
she couldn’t afford to upset. After all, she wasn’t the one mocking her.
Daphne felt more at ease thinking about this.
Noticing the smile that Daphne tried to suppress, the man felt encouraged to act even bolder.
“You must not have attended a grand banquet like this for a long time, right, Ms. Evans? That
makes sense. Since you got married, you can’t attend the Morrisons‘ banquets anymore. You’ve cut
ties with the upper class. Oh, the last time I saw you was at Mr. Morrison Senior’s birthday …”
The man cast a disdainful glance at Caroline once more. After noticing that Caroline’s dress wasn’t

“Tsk, Tsk. As expected, you can’t live well without the Morrisons. Look at the dress you’re wearing.
It probably isn’t even worth a fraction of Ms. Daphne’s dress.”
“Come on, everyone. Don’t say that.” Daphne stood up and pretended to defend Caroline.

‘Although Caroline’s dress doesn’t look too valuable, it doesn’t mean she can’t afford expensive
dresses.”
“Oh, you’re such a kind soul, Ms. Daphne. You’re a celebrity, so you probably don’t know about
this. Without the Morrisons‘ support, the Evanses would’ve been gone long ago.”
“That’s right. Do you really think Caroline didn’t buy an expensive dress because she disliked it?
To put it bluntly, she’s just a fool. Instead of being part of the big four families, she decided to
marry a poor man.”
“So it’s very important for a woman to marry a rich husband.”
“Haha, do you think everyone is as lucky as Ms. Daphne?”
As Daphne listened to their words, she desperately grabbed the hem of her skirt to stop herself
from smiling.
She looked at Caroline and said insincerely, “I’m really sorry for my guests‘ harsh words, Caroline.

Unfazed, Caroline took a sip of wine. She was only here to meet Eddy’s second uncle, nothing else mattered to her.
Daphne followed Caroline’s gaze at the door and immediately understood. “Are you waiting for my husband?”
Caroline turned around and admitted, “Yes.”
Daphne said, “He should be here soon.” She had sent Charles a text message before the banquet. He said they
were already at the airport. They would arrive at the villa in an hour or so.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJudging by what Charles said, Kirk had just gotten back from overseas. Perhaps he had even brought her a gift.
Thinking of this, Daphne curved her lips into a smile.
Meanwhile, a black car drove quietly into the villa. The atmosphere in the air was getting too stuffy, so Charles
secretly opened a gap in the window.
Then, he saw a man standing outside a restaurant out of the corner of his eye. He looked very much like Jack.
Charles quickly shook that idea away. He had been under a lot of pressure lately, so he must be hallucinating.
Looking at the villa nearby, he turned around and looked back at Kirk, who was resting in the backseat. He
reminded Kirk that they were reaching. “Sir.”
Kirk opened his eyes. He was exhausted from rushing back from Macldo overnight. However, when he opened his
eyes, the anger in his piercing gaze was still bone–chilling.
Charles quickly looked away, and his eyes landed on the pile of gift boxes beside Kirk.
The colorful gift boxes didn’t match well with Kirk’s intimidating attitude. Those were all gifts for Caroline.
However, judging by the current situation, there was no way she would accept his gifts.
