Chapter 738

This time, Kirk’s words stunned Eddy to the very core.

“We-”

“There’s no ‘we‘ here,” Kirk scoffed, his voice harsh. He spoke as if he were a higher being who looked down on the foolishness of mankind.

“You reaped what you sowed and made Caroline hate the Morrison family. And now I’m the one who has to bear the consequences of your actions!”

Kirk’s hands balled into fists, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly in a sneer. “Do you really think you have the right to question my decision about hiding the truth from her?”

His dark eyes stared right into Eddy’s, making the latter feel as though he were enveloped by darkness. The feeling of dread made him feel suffocated, and he subconsciously trembled at Kirk’s gaze.

A while later, Kirk said, “I know that I’m at fault here. That’s why I’m trying to make amends now.”

“Uncle Kirk, please divorce Caroline,” Eddy pleaded.

“Give me a chance, will you?”

Shooting up from his seat, Kirk kicked Eddy in the chest. Eddy was caught by surprise as the hit sent him sprawling onto the ground along with his chair.

His wound, which hadn’t fully healed yet, tore open, and blood seeped out of it. The crimson blood bloomed like a flower on his white shirt.

Despite that, Kirk didn’t seem to mind. He simply said, “I’ve cut all ties with your family since you people tried to force Caroline to marry you after Jude’s death.

“You aren’t family to me now, Eddy. You’re just a man who wants to take my woman away from 1. me. And I won’t go easy on people like you.”

Kirk added, “I advise you to stop thinking about getting your hands on Caroline if you want to spare your family the pain of going bankrupt.

“Otherwise, I’ll do everything in my power to make you fall so deep into the abyss that you’ll never see the sun rise again. I’ll do it even if it means losing SY Group!”

With that, Kirk turned and headed for the exit.

Eddy pushed himself up from the ground to go after Kirk with much difficulty, but Charles stopped him from doing so.

In the end, Eddy could only raise his voice and say, “Since you’re being so ruthless toward me, don’t blame me for telling Caroline your real identity.”

Kirk had just reached the elevator when he heard that and turned to face Eddy. “Try me,” he sneered.

The look on Kirk’s face sent a shiver down Eddy’s spine. When Eddy snapped out of it, he realized that Kirk was long gone.

Kirk’s foul mood changed for the better once he entered the elevator.

Charles couldn’t help but wonder aloud, “Sir, will Eddy really tell the madam your true identity? If he does, she won’t be able to handle the news.”

Kirk massaged his temple upon hearing the question. A vein pulsed on his forehead, a signal of how annoyed he was right now.

“Can’t you find a way to stop him if he truly intends to do that?”

“Oh, okay,” said Charles. He understood the job immediately.

“How has she been lately?”

“Jack said that she’s okay when she’s at the company, but …” Charles‘ voice trailed off as he hesitated.

“Her assistant said that she would sometimes look upset as if she were in immense pain.”

Kirk’s gaze darkened ever so slightly. He regretted not giving Eddy another good kick.

“Let’s go to Michael’s,” said Kirk curtly.

“Okay.”

When they reached the ground floor, Charles opened the car’s backseat door for Kirk and got into the driver’s seat.

He started the engine, and they headed straight for the hotel where Michael was staying. Once “I want you to get my wife out of het misery in half a month.”
