Chapter 734

“Eddy, you can’t treat me like this! You can’t… Even if you have no feelings for me, I’m still your savior. You wouldn’t have lived to this day without me. You can’t treat me like this.”

Eddy hung up, his face expressionless. Indeed, Layla had saved him once back then, but he had repaid her kindness a lot of times too.

He didn’t want this to carry on anymore. It was fine if she wanted him to give her money or help her search for a suitor. He couldn’t care less about her anymore.

Right now, all he wanted to do was be together with Caroline. He had finally realized just how much he loved her. He loved her so, so, so much.

He couldn’t lose her. He had to take her out of Kirk’s grasp.

Meanwhile, Layla collapsed onto the ground after suffering multiple blows from the truth bombs Eddy had said.

Seeing her reaction, everyone around her knew that the matter regarding Collins Group was now set in stone. There was nothing she could do to change it, so they left her alone in the room.

All of a sudden, an eerie smile spread across Layla’s face. She sneered, “Caroline, do you think you can defeat me just like this? Don’t forget that you were never part of the Evans family to begin with! You’re not one of the Evans! You never were!”

Layla’s desperate cries reverberated in the empty room. Nobody replied to her. She was all alone now.

After the bank made the announcement, Caroline had to attend a simple ceremony in person. She asked Kirk, “Do you want to come along with me?”

The ceremony would be bustling with people, and there would be plenty of media coverage too.

Caroline wanted to introduce Kirk to the world and let everyone know that he wasn’t a good–for-

nothing husband.

Even though he wasn’t wealthy, he had a knack for business. He would surely succeed if given the chance to start a business himself.

Besides, she wanted everyone to know that he loved her a lot and that they were happy. It would She couldn’t care less about what others said about her, but she just couldn’t stand it when they insulted Kirk by saying that he was useless and that she was the one supporting him.

Despite her efforts to reason with those people, they were always adamant and wouldn’t change their minds.

Therefore, Caroline thought it best to let everyone know just what a wonderful person Kirk was on the day of the handover ceremony.

Noticing the look of eagerness in Caroline’s eyes, Kirk couldn’t find it in himself to disappoint her. Still, he had to let her down this time.

If he were to appear in public, his identity would definitely be revealed. If that happened, Caroline would learn about his true identity and that he had kept her in the dark about it all this time.

She wouldn’t forgive him then.

Another thing was that Eddy still had his eyes on Caroline and was keenly waiting for Kirk to slip up. So Kirk had to be extra careful this time.

“Sorry, darling, but I’m not used to public events like this,” said Kirk apologetically.

“I’m afraid I’ll drag you down and embarrass you by making a fool of myself.”

“I’ll panic if I go on the stage alone.” Caroline wouldn’t give in.

“Can you please accompany me?”
