Chapter 687
“Say no more, Layla will definitely win! Eddy will surely help Layla. He even helped her with Evanson
Corp. He didn’t say a word when she failed to manage it and gained some backlash. Instead, he
helped her out of the mess!”
“I am aware of this as well. It’s precisely why I think Eddy will help her take over the Collins Group.”
“That’s bullshit! That was in the past. Eddy doesn’t even want to talk to Layla anymore. Otherwise, she
would’ve been long out of prison.”
“If you don’t have pictures of it, you can’t prove it. If Layla reads this, she could sue you for
defamation.”
“Hilarious! Do you think she can view these posts now? If you know nothing about this, just keep your
mouth shut. At Jude Morrison’s funeral, it was obvious who was supporting who.”
“Caroline was in charge of all the preparations for his funeral. Isn’t the problem clear enough?” “What
did I just read? Caroline took it upon herself to make the preparations for the funeral. Wow! Doesn’t this
mean that the Morrisons have acknowledged her as family already?”
“I feel the same way. Even though Eddy and Layla kept appearing publicly together it’s in the past
now.”
“That’s enough. It was just a funeral. Maybe it was Jude’s dying wish, and Eddy was forced to oblige.
You sure enjoy overthinking, don’t you? Don’t forget that Caroline’s married now.”
“Caroline doesn’t stand a chance to be a Morrison. Do you really think the Morrisons would accept a
once married woman as their daughter–in–law?”
Things were chaotic online. Yet, Caroline and Marietta were having a ball on their trip together.
As their trip came to an end, Marietta hesitated to let go of Caroline’s hands. Thanks for keeping me
company today, Carrie. I feel much better now.”
“Haven’t I said before that you don’t need to thank me?” said Caroline. “Come and look for me if you
ever feel upset. I have lots of time on my hands, anyways.”
“Is that so?” Marietta smiled. “What about the homework I assigned you last time?” She was talking
about the unfinished script that she had asked Caroline to carry on writing.
“That goes without saying. I even wrote more than you asked me to,” said Caroline. “Ill show it to you
when we’re back.”
“Okay.”

Suddenly Kirk chose to speak. “Can we leave now?” His tone made it obvious that he was very much
displeased
Marietta laughed. “Kirk, you’re doing it wrong. I was simply speaking to Caroline, yet you’re already
upset. Should I be mad at you for keeping her by your side all day long then?”
“Mom!” Caroline exclaimed.
“I was only joking with him, but you’re already coming to his defense.” Marietta just wouldn’t stopnovelbin
teasing them both. “It seems to me that nobody will ever love me.”
They continued chatting on their way back home. When they arrived, Caroline still couldn’t stop
worrying about leaving Marietta alone. She asked Marietta to spend the night at her and Kirk’s place.
“I can show you my script.” Caroline pulled at Marietta’s hand to stop her from leaving. “Will you go
upstairs?”
Marietta grinned from ear to ear. “I’m afraid someone wouldn’t want me to stay.” Her gaze fell on Kirk.
Kirk undoubtedly didn’t want Marietta to spend the night at their place. However, he knew all too well
just how worried Caroline was for her.
“Let’s go,” he said as he held the elevator doors open for Marietta, who tried to hide a smile.
If she didn’t see it for herself, she would never have believed that Kirk would ever give in to somebody.
Caroline had truly changed him.
When they reached the house, Caroline led Marietta into the study. Kirk sat on the couch to look over
some documents.
He had to be discreet and inconspicuous whenever he wanted to work, as he had told Caroline that
he’d already resigned. When she was nearby, he would switch tabs on his laptop. It appeared as
though he was playing games.
Having lived like this awhile, Kirk somehow found it quite enjoyable. Sean teased him when he learned
of his working condition at home. He commented that Kirk was now the exact opposite of a workaholic.
