Chapter 582

Eddy sounded so surprised that his tone snapped Caroline out of her daze.

turned foul. “What now? Are you thinking of leaving Earth then?” His tone was icy. Caroline glanced at him and smiled. “I don’t want Layla to look for me every other day.” Layla had confronted her because Eddy had visited her at the hospital. Surely, Layla would burn Evans Group down if she found out that he had driven Caroline home. It wasn’t that Caroline feared Layla. It was just that she had something more important to handle now. She wanted to turn Evans Group into a more powerful business as soon as possible. She didn’t wish Evans Group to remain a small business. That wasn’t what she’d had in mind when she had taken over the company. She wanted to use the company as a springboard to restore the Evans‘ name to its former glory. That way, Kirk wouldn’t have to work under Eddy’s second uncle anymore or do anything against his will. Like getting registered on his behalf. “Layla gave you trouble?” 2/2 +15 BONUS Chapter 582 Eddy sounded so surprised that his tone snapped Caroline out of her daze. She looked at him strangely “Why are you so surprised? It’s not like this is your first time hearing this” Eddy froze. “Does she make things difficult for you all the time?” His question made Caroline laugh out loud. “Don’t tell me you don’t know about this. “You know fairly well that she pretended to be sick just so she could get one of my kidneys.

If I had died…‘ Caroline’s gaze turned cold. “You would all think that I deserved it.” “I-” Eddy started but was cut short with a wave of her hand. She didn’t want to listen to him explain himself anymore. “Can I ask you something? Why are you so biased?” Eddy opened his mouth to say something, but his thoughts went back to when he had been seven or eight years old. Jude had taken him and Caroline abroad. Layla, who had still been very young, had thrown a tantrum because she had wanted to go along with them. After setting off, they had headed to Halvia to switch to their connecting flight. Halvia had been in a rather chaotic state at that time. News about the rich and their family members getting abducted or kidnapped had been common there. So Jude had taken a team of 30 bodyguards with them that day. 1/3 +15 BONUS Despite Jude’s efforts, Eddy, Caroline, and Layla had been kidnapped amidst the chaos. At a tender age, the three of them had suffered the torment of being beaten every day and having nothing to eat at all. The torture had lasted for about a week until they had met a kind–hearted robber who couldn’t bear to see them getting tortured anymore. After the man had secretly let them go, the three of them had run a long way. They had finally found a small shop, where Eddy had begged the shopkeeper to lend them his phone. After making the call, they had stayed in the shop and waited for help. Eddy could still vividly remember how the shop had been engulfed in darkness. They had had to switch on the lights just to see something. There had been a simple kitchen near the entrance of the shop. Besides a
