Chapter 25
The phone screen went dark, but it lit up again after a few seconds. Kent was happy about that, but when he glanced at it again, his expression changed drastically. He shot to his feet and answered the phone, saying respectfully, “Mr. Morrison.”
The moment he said that, the noisy room fell into pin-drop silence.
Nobody knew what the other person said, but Kent’s expression remained respectful the whole time. After a while, he frowned and said, “But, didn’t you say… Okay, I understand.” With that, he waited for the other person to end the call. Then, he called Caroline. “Ms. Evans? I was in a meeting, so I didn’t hear your call. You need to see me? Okay, let’s meet up and have a nice long
hat. No problem, see you tomorrow night.”
After putting down her phone, Caroline felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Kirk
came back after his smoke and asked, “Good news?”
Caroline looked up with a smile and said, “Yup, I made an appointment with someone for
tomorrow.”
“A man or another woman?”

Caroline did not notice Kirk’s expression and said, “A man.”
Kirk frowned and asked, “You’re planning to borrow money from him?”
“Yup, he helped my grandfather before, so I want to give it a shot.” Caroline herself did not dare to keep hopes too high up. Kirk sat down opposite her with a grim expression. Seeing him that way, Caroline inexplicably felt a little nervous. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
Kirk stayed silent for a moment before asking, “Caroline, did you ever consider that things could
turn out differently than what you’re expecting?”
Caroline propped her chin on her hand and looked at him with a puzzled expression. Then, she said with some difficulty, “You’re right. Why hasn’t it struck me that this is Osbury? This is the Morrison family’s turf. So long as Eddy wants me to lose, I will lose, and I’ll win only if he wants me to. Whether or not I manage to borrow money all depends on what he wants.”
Kirk smiled faintly when Caroline got his point so quickly. “That’s correct. So what kind of ending
do you think Eddy wants from this?”
Caroline gulped and answered, “Of course, he’s hoping that I’ll lose. But if that’s the case, then why
would Mr. Pearson want to see me?”
Was he not afraid of the Morrison family?
“Yeah, why?” Kirk said rhetorically.

Caroline rubbed her chin and said, “There’s only one possibility, and it’s that Eddy gave him
permission to …”
But why would Eddy do that? Seeing her in such a puzzled state, Kirk’s heart melted a little and he explained, “You’ll know when you see him tomorrow, but since you already know that he has bad intentions, you must be fully prepared.”
