Chapter 624

Kirk knew he should have severed his ties with the Morrisons when his father had run away from home.

Meanwhile, like Kirk, Layla was also burning with jealousy. That shameless bitch, Caroline, had actually taken advantage of Jude’s death to seduce Eddy!

However, Eddy had become so dense that he couldn’t even tell.

“Ed, h–how could Grandpa just leave like that?” Layla imitated Caroline and started crying.

However, Eddy wasn’t in the mood to listen to her cry. “Can you stop crying? It makes me even more upset!”

Layla paused while wiping her tears, “Caroline.” Eddy patted Caroline’s shoulder.

He said with a softness he didn’t even notice, “You should get up. I’ll have someone take you home.

Please don’t blame yourself.

“You had nothing to do with Grandpa’s passing. This is all Howard’s fault, and I’ll definitely make him pay with his life.”

Caroline put her hand on her forehead. “Let me stay. I want to send him off.” Although she wasn’t exactly part of the family, she didn’t care about that.

Howard might have caused Jude’s death, but he wouldn’t have died if he hadn’t saved her. So she had to send Jude off for one last ride. Perhaps this could slightly alleviate her guilt.

Eddy was very worried that she would collapse. “You must go home and rest. You need to be properly rested before you can handle Grandpa’s funeral, right?”

His words finally persuaded Caroline, and she agreed to head home first. Eddy immediately arranged for someone to send Caroline home.

When Kirk saw Caroline leave, he left his hiding spot in the emergency exit. He went downstairs and followed Caroline.

As Layla watched Caroline leave, she finally calmed down from her rage.

Walking to Eddy’s side, she sniffled and tried her best to make a sad expression.

“Ed, please don’t be sad. Although Grandpa is gone, we have to keep living our best so he doesn’t worry in the afterlife.”

Eddy raised his head and yelled, “Can you shut the hell up?”

Layla’s tears fell at his words, but she quickly held back her sadness and said, “Ed, I know you’re in a bad mood. It’s okay. I’ll always be by your side, and we’ll get through this together.”

She reached out to hold Eddy’s hand, but he mercilessly ripped her hand away.

“Layla, we should just be good friends from now on,” Eddy said, enunciating each word. Then, he stood up and turned his back to Layla.

Layla froze at his words. “Why? Did Caroline say something to you?”

That bitch!

“No!” Eddy turned back around.

He said calmly, “Before Grandpa died, his last wish was that Caroline and I get married. That was his only regret. As his grandson, I’ll honor his last wishes and marry Caroline.”

“What about me?”

Layla said anxiously, “I’ve been with you since I was 18 years old! Do the math, Ed! We’ve been together for six years. I can’t believe you want to abandon me because your grandfather said so before he died!”

Eddy was surprised that Layla would say something like this. “Layla, do you know what you just said?”

Layla hurriedly covered her mouth, but it was already too late.

She couldn’t take back her words anymore. However, she still tried to explain herself.

Eddy was extremely disappointed with her. “You should leave. I don’t want to see you again for now!”

“Ed…”

“Scram!”
