Chapter 756

“I’m fine.” When Caroline felt the warmth on her hand, her gaze returned to normal.

She murmured again, “I’m fine.” However, she looked anything but fine.

Gwen said, “Carol, I’ll take you home immediately.”

“No!” Caroline said fearfully. She felt as if her head was splitting.

“Don’t take me home.”

She didn’t want to see Kirk right now. She wouldn’t know what to say when she saw him.

Gwen was startled by her response. “Carol …”

Carol looked at Gwen and said in pain, “Don’t take me home. Please don’t take me home.”

“All night, since we’re not going home, we’ll check into the hotel, okay? Don’t worry. I won’t let that bastard approach you again.”

Caroline leaned on Gwen’s shoulder, finally feeling her racing heart slow down.

Then, Gwen took Caroline to check into the hotel. Caroline looked like a zombie the entire time. Gwen felt both distressed and helpless at the sight.

After checking in, she took Caroline to the room. Seeing that Caroline still looked listless, she thought for a moment and suggested, “Carol, why don’t we go to the spa?”

“Huh?” Caroline looked at Gwen blankly, Feeling distressed, Gwen sat next to Caroline. “Carol, can you tell me what exactly Eddy said to you?”

Caroline looked at Gwen. Kirk’s face and Eddy’s declaration that Kirk was his second uncle crossed her mind. She shuddered.

Gwen quickly hugged her. “Carol, what’s wrong?”

Caroline nestled in Gwen’s arms, tears slowly filling her eyes.

Gwen simply held Caroline, feeling at a loss. She didn’t know what had happened, nor did she know how to comfort her friend.

Fortunately, Caroline’s phone rang. Kirk was calling.

Gwen was delighted. A savior had finally appeared.

She picked up the phone and handed it to Caroline. “Carol, Kirk is calling. You should answer the call. I promise not to complain about him for taking up our bonding time.”

Soon, Gwen saw something unusual.

Caroline simply looked at her phone and let the screen flicker, refusing to answer the call.

Moreover, her eyes no longer held the joy and happiness they normally had at the mention of Kirk. Instead, there was fear.

“Carol …” Gwen gradually realized something was wrong.

“Why aren’t you answering Kirk’s call?”

Caroline took a step back and shook her head. She said painfully, “He’s the real Kirk Morrison.”

Gwen was puzzled by her words, but she quickly realized what she meant. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Are you saying that …‘

Was Caroline’s husband the actual president of SY Group?
