composed as ever. But deep down, he was more anxious than the private detective,
A moment later, Caroline spoke. “Are you sure that you’re asking for one thousand doll
“Yes,” the detective replied nasty
Worried that she would regret her decision, he added, “One thousand dollars is enough. Do you want H
“Yes,” Caroline told him. “But you have to send it to another email address of mine.”
Later, she gave the detective an email address that she rarely used. Once everything was done, he hu
ng up and humed to Charles, “You
clearly had no faith in me.”
Charles tossed him a sideways glance and said. “Stop babbling and send her the information.”
“Okay, fine. Where’s my thousand dollars then?”
He barely finished his sentence when he received a notification on his phone, Glancing at the screen, h
e carefully counted the zeios.
There were five zeros, which was just the right amount.
He beamed and said, “Thanks a bunch, boss. Don’t hesitate to call me when there’s a task like this in t
he future.”
Charles didn’t reply. If anything, the private detective should be thanking Kirk instead.
Charles returned to Morrison Corp and knocked on the door to Kirk’s office. After entering the room, he
reported his progress. “Sir, we’ve successfully sent the information to the madam”
To be frank, Charles was rather pleased with himself, so he added, “The madam will never know that y
ou’re the one behind this.”
Kirk raised his head from his work to stare at Charles with his piercing eyes, and the latter felt himself s
hudder from the gaze.
“Is something the matter, sir?” Charles had expected at least a bit of compliment upon completing his m
ission this time, but it surely seemed like he overthought it.
Kirk handed him a tablet. Charles’s mood flipped upside down after looking at the screen, which display
ed a piece of news in the
entertainment segment.
It said that Adrian Sorkin and Caroline had
married in secret. There were also pictures of them both having dinner together and leaving the
restaurant one after the other.
“Don’t tell me that you knew nothing about this.” A frown creased Kirk’s forehead. His tone made it hard
to tell if he was fuming with rage
or not.
Exasperated. Charles failed to respond. He had been so immersed in trying to find a way to give Caroli
ne the information regarding Evans Group that cost almost a million dollars that he didn’t
have the time to surf the Internet.
“I–I’ll contact all the media platforms to remove it from the trending searches section,” he said.
Kirk loosened his tie at Charles’s words, and the icy look in his eyes faded away a little.
Just then, his phone started ringing. It was Sean calling.
The moment he answered the call, he heard Sean’s unrestrained laughter booming from the other end
of the line.
*This should’ve been a story about three people, but your name was never once mentioned in it! Kirk,
my man, I’ll have a moment of
silence for you!”
“Get lost!” Kirk snapped. His face was now as dark as a bottomless pit.
Sean stifled his laughter and joked. “In my opinion, you should just post a picture of your marriage certif
icate for the world to see.”
Kirk’s knuckles turned white as he said, “Don’t you dare think for a second that I can’t.”

Ut course you cant Sean exclaimed.
He’d simply called to joke around. It wasn’t his intention to rub salt into the wound, so he said, “You’re
Kirk Morrison, after all. Nothing can sland in your way. But it never crossed my mind that you’d one day
feel so wronged and disheartened.”
Sean chuckled and added, “So, do you still have it in you to say that you don’t love Caroline?”
He was sure that Kirk loved her and would continue to do so until the end of time.
Instead of coming up with a response, Kirk hung up immediately. This caused Sean to go into panic mo
de at once.
“What are you standing there for?” Kirk’s brows were knitted closely together when he roared at Charle

Charles knew this wasn’t the time to laugh. He tried his best lo stifle his laughter and stop the corners o
f his mouth from tilting upward.” Right away, sirl
Right after
leaving Kirk’s office, Charles felt that he couldn’t hold back anymore. He darted into the washroom and
burst out laughing. Seeing Kirk low–spirited was simply a sight to behold!
On the other side, Caroline asked Cheryl to get her a spare laptop from the company. She then logged
in to her email and opened the file. Fortunately, the laptop wasn’t attacked by any viruses.
