Chapter 372

Kirk had prepared so many gifts for an outsider like Caroline, but he hadn’t prepared a single one for D

aphne. Everyone looked at each other, finding the turn of events outrageous.

Basically, Caroline had a higher place in Kirk’s heart than Daphne. The people who had ridiculed Caroli

ne just now trembled at this outcome.

They hurriedly took out their phones and sent apologetic messages to Caroline. They said they hadn’t

meant to insult her and hoped that she would forgive them.

Caroline had no intentions of dealing with those people

at the moment. All her attention was on the gifts next to her.

She was really puzzled. Why would Eddy’s second uncle give her a bunch of gifts?

If he had given them sooner, she could chalk it up as him doing it for Eddy’s sake.

However, it

had been so long since she broke off her engagement with Eddy. No matter how late his second uncle

had found out about this, he should still know about it.

Because of what happened with the gifts, the banquet ended

quickly. Now Daphne and Kirk were the only ones left in the living room.

Kirk removed his mask and sunglasses, revealing his alluring and handsome face.

Immediately, the anger in Daphne’s heart dissipated by a significant

margin. She took a deep breath and asked firmly, “Mr. Kirk, do you know

how much you’ve embarrassed me just now?”

Kirk casually put his legs on the coffee table, his eyes dark. Yet, Caroline appeared in his mind.

Thinking of how she must be opening the gifts at home, a trace of tenderness appeared in his

gaze.

He was happy that he had successfully given her the gifts. However, he clenched his fist again.

when he thought of how he had given them as Eddy’s second uncle rather than as her husband.

Meanwhile, Daphne was still talking about how embarrassed she was. Kirk interrupted her

impatiently, “You’re not my wife, so why do you think I’ll buy you a gift?”

His cold words made Daphne’s face turn pale in an instant. She frowned and said, “But… But to

Daphne was just a D–lister, but she had managed to earn Kirk’s affection. She was too lucky!

Daphne’s manager happily held the gift box in front of Kirk. She asked, “Where should I put these gifts,

sir?”

Kirk raised his chin slightly. “Ask Caroline.”

Everyone was shocked to hear his answer.

The manager couldn’t react at all. She blinked. “Why should I ask Car …”

Before she could finish talking, she widened her eyes in disbelief. She looked over at Daphne, who had

a hideous, forced smile on her face.

Caroline finally understood why he had stopped her. It turned out those gifts were all for her. But it was

too strange. She and Eddy weren’t in a relationship anymore. His second uncle had no reason to give hnovelbin

er anything.

Kirk waved to Caroline. “Where is your car?”

Caroline blinked several times before finding her voice. She looked at the mountain of gifts in the bodyg

uards‘ arms and said uncertainly, “Sir…”

“It’s all for you,” Kirk said light–heartedly, crossing his legs. His

voice no longer had the pressure it had before.

“But I can’t accept so many gifts,” Caroline refused. She didn’t

have the status or qualifications to accept his gifts.

“I’ve never given you any gifts for your birthday in the previous years, so just think of these as compens

ation.”

Caroline was speechless. For some reason, she had a feeling this man could see through her thoughts

.

However, since he had already insisted, Caroline didn’t protest further. She had no choice but to say, “T

hank you.” And with that, she walked toward her Porsche with the bodyguards.

After Caroline’s figure disappeared, Daphne finally recovered from her shock. She looked at Kirk,

then at her manager, silently asking if there was a second batch of gifts.

However, the manager cruelly shook her head in response. Daphne’s face immediately turned as

pale as a ghost’s.
