Chapter 699

Caroline frowned. “Are you alright?”

All she’d done was prepare the documents. Did Eddy have to look like he’d been hit so hard by it?

Besides, she was only at the stage of procedures where she would hand in the materials. Even if she had his second uncle’s support, she might still not be able to obtain the Collins Group. There was no need for Eddy to be so anxious just because he thought Layla would lose.

Eddy raised his head with difficulty. He said, “Who did you get to endorse you?”

Caroline was surprised by this. She asked, “Don’t you know?”

It was such a big deal. Why didn’t Eddy’s second uncle tell him about it? It seemed Eddy’s relationship with his second uncle wasn’t a very good one.

I–I don’t know…” Should he have known this?

Caroline shrugged. Since Eddy’s second uncle hadn’t told him about it, she wouldn’t stick her nose in “You haven’t answered me. Who did you get to sponsor you?”

To this, Caroline only replied, “You’ll find out once it’s announced.”

Eddy looked at Caroline intently.

Caroline ignored this and took a seat casually. “There’s no need to look at me like that. You know this person. But if you don’t know, it means he doesn’t want to tell you. In that case, I won’t either.”

Caroline figured she might as well explain all this to Eddy clearly. That would stop him from coming over here all the time.

Eddy’s expression changed slightly. “Could it be.” He had an answer in his heart, fighting to escape from his lips. But he couldn’t believe it.

Caroline said, “Do you have any more questions? If not, you may leave now.”

Eddy slowly turned to go. At the door, he whirled back around and stared fixedly at Caroline.

Caroline, I don’t care who your husband is. No matter what, I will fulfill Grandpa’s final wish, and no one can stop me from doing it.”

Caroline’s heart started racing all of a sudden. Long after Eddy left, she still couldn’t get over what he’d said about no one being able to stop him from achieving his goal.

“Caroline, are you alright?” Cheryl asked worriedly when she walked in and saw Caroline sitting in a daze, her face pale.

Caroline came back to her senses. “I–I’m fine!”

“Caroline …”

“Do you need something?” she asked Cheryl.

Only then did Cheryl remember why she came in. “Ah, it’s like this, Caroline. Ms. Weiss just called me.

She said she’s been calling, but there’s no answer. She asked me to come over and check what’s going on.”

Caroline picked up her phone and found that Marietta had called her more than a dozen times. And yet, she had somehow missed them all. She hadn’t heard a single one.

“I got it. Please wait outside.”

“Alright.” Cheryl left hesitantly.

Once Cheryl left, Caroline dialed Marietta’s number.

On the other end of the line, Marietta sounded like she was in a pleasant mood. “Carrie, are you free tonight?”

Caroline forced herself to sound cheery. “Sure, Mom. What’s up?”

“I received a call from Yvonne. She said that she wants to see me. I–If I go alone, it’d be a little…

Can you come with me?”

Caroline replied, “Mom, is she planning to acknowledge you as her mother?”

“Yes, Marietta said.

Aurora had told her that Yvonne had agreed to return to her side. As for tonight’s dinner, it was being organized to apologize to her for what happened before.

That’s great, Caroline said with a smile. “I’m free tonight. Where are you going for dinner?”

Marietta sent Carcime the address, then added. “By the way, remember to bring Kirk.
