Chapter 421
Caroline felt like someone who had run away to avoid the complicated world. She didn’t want to
think about the hardships caused by the trivial disputes of life.
Seeing that she didn’t resist, Kirk finally had the courage to lead her back to the hotel.
The two quietly stepped on the snow coating the street. They walked on the short road for over
half an hour.
After entering the hotel, Caroline felt the warm temperature hit her face. As if she had returned to
reality, she snapped out of her trance and jerked her hand away from Kirk.
Gwen, Sean, and Adrian, who were waiting in the lobby, came over when they saw them.
Gwen grabbed Caroline and glanced at Kirk. She asked, “Are you okay, Carol?”
“I’m fine.” Caroline looked down at the floor.
“Let’s go upstairs.”
“Okay.”
Gwen dragged Caroline away, leaving the three men behind in the lobby.
Adrian looked at Sean and asked, “Dr. Yates, can I talk to your friend privately?” He had just
learned from Gwen that Sean was a famed genius doctor
Sean glanced at Kirk worriedly before slowly walking to the door. He picked the right spot to wait.
From there, he could see everything going on in the lobby while giving them enough privacy.
Adrian was silent for a moment before saying, “You’re the luckiest man in the world.”
Kirk returned Adrian’s gaze. “I know.”
“Then, why did you hurt Caroline?” Adrian’s chest heaved in anger.
A hint of guilt appeared in Kirk’s eyes, and his anger diminished slightly. He pursed his lips and
didn’t defend himself.
Adrian became even more angry after seeing Kirk like this. He wanted to find his flaws and focus
on them to convince himself that he wasn’t worthy of Caroline.

However, seeing how Kirk was now, there was no way he could do that.
He thought of the fighting champion who had a crush on Caroline, and he somewhat understood
why that man had given up.
Adrian asked, “Aren’t you going to defend yourself?”
“I did make a mistake, and I’ll work hard to make up for the pain I’ve caused Caroline.”novelbin
Kirk looked at Adrian earnestly. “But if you want me to give up on her, I won’t. Over my dead body.”
Adrian’s body swayed slightly at his words.
After a long while, he smiled sadly. “When Caroline went after you, I should have accepted that I
had lost. But…”
He raised his head with a bright smile. “I won’t give up. After I finish handling things in Macldo, I
want to fight you for her heart. Fair and square.”
Kirk simply stared at him, remaining silent.
Adrian felt bitterness welling up in his chest. He seemed to notice the disdain in Kirk’s eyes.
However, he would prove to him that he had what it took, sooner or later! Kirk was just luckier
than him. But when it came to measuring capabilities, luck was nothing but a gimmicky tool.
If Adrian could get a contract with SY Group, he would rise through the ranks in Sorkin Group and
even in Easton, despite being an illegitimate son.
When that happened, he would make Kirk understand the meaning of regret.
The two men silently looked at each other challengingly.
At this moment, Adrain’s assistant came over, dragging the suitcase. “Mr. Sorkin, the plane will be
taking off in an hour. It’s time for us to leave.”
Adrian looked at Kirk one last time before turning around to leave.
When he reached the door, he stopped and turned back to ask, “I still don’t know your name. Since
we’re going to be rivals, you should at least tell me your name, right?”
Kirk looked back at him and said, “You’ll find out eventually.”
Adrian frowned. He thought Kirk didn’t say anything because he was his love rival, so he didn’t

He smiled brightly. “You’d better treat Caroline well. Otherwise, you’ll be doomed when I return!”
