Chapter 7

Eddy and Caroline both walked out of the hall. The second they were out the door, Eddy grabbed her by her neck. “Don’t think that you’re invincible just because my grandfather favors you!”

Caroline could hardly breathe, but the smile on her face remained. She choked. “Well, you should stop thinking about using my kidney the price for marriage and clear things up with Grandpa soon. Otherwise, there’s no telling what else I’ll say.”

Eddy trembled violently. The Caroline before him seemed to have changed. She was no longer obedient like a lamb.

He tightened his grip and warned, “Don’t you dare think of playing any games. I will never call the marriage off. You will give your kidney to Layla!”

Then, he turned and left.

Caroline watched as he left, suddenly unable to understand how she had fallen for him eight years ago. However, she did not dwell upon it. She turned, about to ask an employee about what happened to Eddy’s uncle, when she caught sight of Kirk not far away.

She couldn’t quite see his expression under the dim light he was standing in.

His immaculately tailored suit showcased his perfect figure. His aura was dominant, like someone far more superior.

“Why are you here?” Caroline frowned. Starlust Hotel was the most prestigious hotel in Osbury. Only the Morrisons could come here.

Kirk did not answer her question. Instead, he gazed at her.
