Caroline frowned slightly. She couldn’t believe this was the taste of the eloquent man who had spoken at the press conference more than a month ago.
However, the entertainment website’s sources were well–founded.
Some people had even discovered that Daphne had been playing minor supporting roles before she married.
But now, all of her parts were second or third leading roles. She could only have such connections because she’d married Eddy’s second uncle and affiliated herself with the Morrisons. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“What are you looking at?” Kirk asked, quietly showing up beside her.
Caroline looked up, almost thinking the man standing before her was Eddy’s second uncle. Aside from their faces. Kirk and Eddy’s second uncle looked really similar.
“Nothing important. Just some gossip.”
Caroline remembered that they had a fight because of Eddy’s second uncle, so she didn’t hand him the phone. Instead, she asked, “What did you buy?”
“Some oatmeal and pasta,” Kirk said calmly, watching Caroline put her phone away. Then, he took the food into the room.
Sean didn’t have an appetite. He said powerlessly, “Thanks, Kirk. But I don’t want to eat anything right now.”
Kirk shrugged. ‘Suit yourself.”
After that, he took Caroline to wait outside the room.
Gwen only woke up later on. When she saw Sean, she murmured, “What are you doing here?”
Feeling emotional Sean said, “You’re awake.”
Hearing the voices, Caroline and Kirk walked into the room. Caroline asked, “How are you feeling, Gwen? Do you want a doctor here?”
Gwen smacked her lips and croaked, “No I’m thirsty…”
Sean immediately got up to pour some water for Gwen. After that, he carefully helped her sit up. “Here. Drink some water.”
Gwen glanced at the large palm on her shoulder, and a tinge of emotion appeared on her face. She lowered her head and sipped the water.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Caroline’s face. “It’s a good thing that Sean was around, Gwen. You have to thank him for his help properly.”
Sean said shyly, “You don’t have to do that.”
Gwen noticed that sly smile on Caroline’s face, but she didn’t have the energy to retort.
Caroline insisted, “She has to. Kirk and I have something to do. You two can discuss how she can express her gratitude.”
She winked at Kirk and pulled him out of the hospital room.
Kirk looked down at both of their hands and smirked. He turned back and grabbed Caroline’s hand as well. As soon as they entered the elevator, he got a call from Charles.
When the call connected, Charles broke out in a cold sweat. He said nervously, “Sir, news about you and Ms. Dawson has been leaked!”
After he spoke, he braced himself for Kirk’s massive wrath.
Kirk’s face contorted. He looked down at Caroline and tried to suppress his anger. He hissed. “Wait for me there!”
Charles scratched his neck, surprised that Kirk hadn’t lashed out in anger.
Caroline was keenly aware of the change in Kirk’s mood. She asked with a smile, “What’s wrong? Did something happen at work?”
Facing Caroline’s gaze, Kirk’s heart melted. “Yeah, there’s a problem with a project. I’ll take you home first.”

Then, Caroline and Kirk set off back to the city. As she reached home and got out of the car, she received a call from her apartment’s real
estate manager.
“Ms. Evans, you need to come here quickly.”
Caroline frowned and asked, “Did something happen?”
“Many people threw rotten eggs, paint, and dung at your door. We didn’t have enough security personnel. We’ve already called the police and warded them off. But you must come and get this issue settled.”
