Chapter 260

Adrian looked at him.

Quentin immediately plastered on a flattering smile, “My tongue’s misbehaved. Just a slip of the tongue.”

Adrian stared into the lar distance and said, “I just find it mind–blowing that someone has so much power to wipe out everything about it in the blink of an eye.”

Quentin propped his chin up on a hand. “Well who else could it be? Of course It’s the Morrison family.”

1 Adrian turned to look at him.

“I heard that Mr. Morrison Senior is still hoping that Ms. Evans will marry into the family. That’s why he’s been urging his grandson to pursue her.

“You could say that the old man’s wired rather peculiarly. Usually, the rich shun divorcees like nothing else, but Mr. Morrison Senior doesn’t seem to care at all.

“All he wants is to make Ms. Evans…”

Quentin paused. He knew the rest of his statement couldn’t be more insinuating. Hence, he just swallowed the words.

Nevertheless, Adrian didn’t think much of it. “But aren’t Eddy and Layla getting along particularly well lately?”

“Yeah, I heard he’s helping her acquire Evans Group.” Quentin took a cigarette from its pack and slipped it between his lips.

“I guess he’s hoping that the old man would view her in a different light if she becomes the CEO. Who knows, it might even pave the way for their marriage.”

Adrian laced his fingers and rested them on the table. Upon giving it more thought, he agreed that only the Morrisons would do something as absurd as this.

After a pause, he asked again, “How are things going with the investigation for Caroline?”

“No one’s that quick, dude. It hasn’t even been a day yet.”

Adrian pursed his lips and spoke no further.

Right as Caroline got off work, she received a call from Kirk. He told her that he wouldn’t be able to discuss the shooting that night as he had other matters to tend to.

Kirk’s tone on the phone sounded normal. Caroline didn’t put much thought into it before she hung up and headed straight home.

Meanwhile, in a private room, Kirk tugged at his tie and downed a glass of alcohol in frustration.

Sitting beside him, Sean looked at him with contempt. “Is this even necessary? What Caroline and that man have between them is just a rumor, isn’t it? Wait, no, does it even count? The two of them are innocent through and through. They didn’t even hold hands.”

Kirk guzzled another bottle and let out an exasperated sigh. “If you want to get lost, you don’t have to hold back.”

Sean didn’t respond.

He quietly kept Kirk company as he downed more than a few drinks. As time went by, he realized that something seemed amiss.

Kirk was wobbling left and right, and his eyes were glossed over in a daze. It was as if … he were drunk!

The corners of Sean’s lips twitched. He knew exactly how high Kirk’s alcohol tolerance was. There was no way he would get drunk so quickly.

Initially, he thought that Kirk was playing tricks again so that he would have an excuse for Caroline to come by and pick him up.

A couple of minutes later, though, he saw Kirk staggering to his feet. It was then that he knew for sure–

Kirk was truly intoxicated.

In fact, he was completely wasted.

“Kirk?” Sean nudged him gently.

1.2 +15 BONOS Kirk impatiently llung nim off, Uont touch me. Unly my wate can touch me.”

Sean was utterly dumbstruck.

Fine, then.

Still the same old model student from the School of Chivalry after all.

“I’ll call Caroline and let her know to come pick you up, then.”

“Don’t.” Now that he was drunk, his usual calmness was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a touch of cuteness as he slurred, “Don’t call my wife.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t want to argue with her over Jealousy. I don’t want to receive the cold shoulder from her…”

An exhilarated Sean pulled out his phone and started a video recording.

“Repeat what you just said.”

Now that Sean had solid evidence on hand, he couldn’t wait to see Kirk try to deny his love for Caroline the next time around.

However, Kirk suddenly swayed his body
