Chapter 369

Daphne was confused by his words. “What?”

Kirk had already lost his patience. He turned to Charles and ordered, “Pull the circuit breaker.”

The villa’s main circuit box was just a short distance from the door. Charles walked over there in a few steps and turned off the main power switch.

In an instant, the bright villa was plunged into darkness. Everyone in the living room panicked, screaming and running away. However, one minute later, light returned to the estate.

The first thing Daphne saw when she regained her sight was Kirk wearing a mask and sunglasses. She was dumbfounded at the sight.

Ignoring her questioning look, Kirk opened the door and entered the home.

When everyone saw Kirk, who was disguised more thoroughly than a celebrity, their eyes widened in shock.

Someone asked with concern, “Ms. Daphne, is this your husband?”

Daphne swallowed. “Y–yes.”

“Then, what is he …”

Daphne didn’t know why Kirk had suddenly disguised himself. She smiled awkwardly and tried to come up with an excuse, but she couldn’t come up with anything.

anything he “I have a bit of a pollen allergy.” Kirk lowered his voice, but his eyes were fixed on Caroline under his sunglasses like a caged animal.

Caroline quickly felt an intense gaze on her. Looking at Kirk, she only saw his dark sunglasses and nothing else. Suspecting that it was an illusion, she stroked her wine glass, unsure if she should greet him.

She had missed her chance at the press conference for SY Group’s new phone. She didn’t want to miss her chance again.

When everyone else heard Kirk’s words, they immediately nodded in understanding. Then, theyBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

looked at Daphne with envy.

“Ms. Daphne, your husband really loves you. He still came to your banquet despite being sick. Not to mention a pollen allergy! My husband wouldn’t even come to my parties if he stubbed his toe.”

“Same goes for my husband. He makes an excuse about how there would only be women in my party, and there was no need for a man like him to join. Men just don’t understand the meaning of companionship at all.”

“Mr. Morrison still attended his wife’s banquet despite being busy and sick. I must tell my husband about this as a lesson for him.”

Caroline felt nothing upon watching everyone compliment Daphne. She simply wanted to find a chance to talk to Eddy’s second uncle.

Her gaze was obvious, making Kirk, who had already sat on the couch, turn and look at her.

Although the dark lenses covered his eyes, Caroline could tell he was looking at her this time. For some reason, her heart beat uncontrollably.

But soon, she chalked this up to the excitement of meeting her idol and didn’t give it much thought.

When Kirk saw the unabashed admiration in Caroline’s eyes, he was sure that his identity hadn’t been exposed. If it had been, Caroline wouldn’t have looked at him respectfully. She would be glaring at him instead.

At this moment, Kirk didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.

Noticing that Kirk was looking at Caroline, Daphne quickly said, “I happened to bump into Caroline the other day, so I invited her here.”

Then, she waved at Caroline. “Ms. Evans!”

Caroline’s heart leaped out of her throat, and she walked in front of Kirk like a woman possessed. ”

Hello!” She shouted, biting the inside of her cheek in excitement.

She was finally meeting Eddy’s second uncle.

Kirk had one fist pressed against the couch. It was so hidden in the plush cushion that no one could see the veins showing on the back of his fist.

He narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling incredibly jealous of himself.
