Chapter 680

This was too much of a coincidence. Caroline looked at Cheryl awkwardly.

The moment Cheryl saw Jack, she felt the muscles on her face stiffen slightly.

Caroline started, “I’m sorry, Chery, I-”

Cheryl interrupted, “Caroline, your husband must have asked Jack to pick you up. I told you I would just be a third wheel if I go home with you.”

Jack had already gotten out of the car. “Hello, Ms. Evans, Cheryl..

Cheryl greeted Jack calmly, “Hello, Jack.”

Jack’s expression became even more unnatural as he said, “I… Mr. Kirk asked me to come and pick Ms. Evans up.”

Cheryl said with a smile, “See, Caroline? I knew I was right. I won’t keep you here any longer. I’ll be heading home.”

Caroline wanted to ask Cheryl to join her, but she was worried that Jack and Cheryl couldn’t handle being in the same place.

In the end, Jack stopped Cheryl. “Let me take your home as well, Cheryl.”

Caroline looked at Cheryl.

Cheryl obviously hesitated. She stood there without moving, and after a moment, she said, “All right. Thank you, Jack.”

Then, the three of them got into the car together. In the car, Caroline tried to mediate their relationship.

Unfortunately, both Jack and Cheryl were enigmas, and neither of them spoke. Having no other choice, Caroline shifted the topic to Cheryl’s interests.

“Cheryl, has there been any news in the entertainment industry recently?”

Cheryl finally opened up since the conversation was about something she was familiar with.” Nothing much. But I do have some big news for you, Caroline.”

“What is it?” Caroline looked surprised.

Cheryl said, “I knew you wouldn’t have heard about this. People are saying online that Mr. Eddy is interested in acquiring Collins Group.”

“He is?”

“Yeah.”

“But what does this have to do with me?” Caroline was still confused.

“Just hear me out. The netizens now think Mr. Eddy is acquiring Collins Group to please Layla. Don’t you think it’s funny?”

Eddy didn’t grow his money on trees. So there was no reason he would buy Collins Group just to please Layla.

Cheryl thought that only TV dramas had CEOS pampering their lovers. She felt this was impossible in real life, especially after taking charge of the company.

It could be possible if the buyer was a hundred times richer than Collins Group.

However, Collins Group was part of one of the big four families‘ properties. No matter how powerful Morrison Corp was, their wealth couldn’t exceed that of Collins Group.

Carolíne remembered Eddy saying that Layla was his savior. She couldn’t help but say, “I think it’s possible.”

Otherwise, Eddy wouldn’t have been so hesitant when he had come to see her today. Had he found out about his second uncle’s endorsement and come to test her?

At the thought of this, Caroline couldn’t help but scoff internally. She knew that Eddy wouldn’t have just apologized to her for no reason.

Cheryl said, “No way. Mr. Eddy doesn’t seem to be the type to be blinded by love.”

Caroline was about to answer when she heard Jack’s voice, “We’re here, Ms. Evans.”

Then, Caroline glanced outside and saw that she had arrived home. She looked at Cheryl uneasily.

Cheryl could tell what she was thinking. “It’s okay, Caroline,” she whispered.

She had already prepared herself to be alone with Jack. As it happened, she had something to tell Jack as well.
