Chapter 72

Brie’s expression shifted. “I can’t believe you’re still being stubborn, Caroline. Let me ask you, is the

ceramic vase you gave Mr. Morrison Senior really yours?”

“Why does it matter?”

Brie smirked. “Because the vase isn’t even yours. It belongs to Eddy’s second uncle! You passed off hi

s gift as your own because he didn’t attend the birthday banquet! Shame on you!”

The spectators outside the door included many people from wealthy social circles. News

about Caroline’s gift had already spread like wildfire among them. Their expressions shifted after hearin

g that it was a scam.

“I knew it. There’s no way a small family like the Evans family can get a ceramic vase.”

“So, she stole Eddy’s second uncle’s gift?”

‘His second uncle? I heard that he’s very powerful. If he finds out about this, things definitely won’t end

well for Caroline …”

Remaining silent, Caroline narrowed her eyes, looking coldly at Brie.

Brie had found out that the ceramic vase belonged to Eddy’s second uncle and barged into the hospital

to make a big scene so that she

could publicly embarrass Caroline.

Brie didn’t care if Caroline was disgraced, but she couldn’t let Kirk’s reputation be ruined.

Caroline smirked and laughed. “Thenovelbin

fact that he’s willing to give the vase to Grandpa in my name means that he’s fond of me. Are you

upset because you’re jealous?”

Caroline’s words struck a nerve, making Brie angry. Brie yelled, “What a joke! Why

would I be jealous of you? Besides, you can’t prove that his second uncle gave it to you voluntarily.”

The lackeys that Brie had brought along began mocking Caroline.

“She’s just flattering herself. She has the guts to boast like this because she knew Eddy’s second uncle

wouldn’t attend the birthday banquet.”

The sounds of laughter stopped abruptly. Everyone turned around and saw Jude walking in. Surround

ed by bodyguards. The sight dumbfounded them.

“Mr. Morrison Senior, what are you doing here? Ene asked tumedy waking up to hep the oid men

Jude didn’t even look at Bre. Instead, he accrsachet

Cardline anxiously asking. “Came. I heard you conaimed your endte STid were hospitalized. This is suc

h an important matter Why didn’t you tell me?

His concem moved Caroline. She reassured him. I’m ine Grandcase discharged soon.”

Jude looked down at Carolines ankte womed. “Are you sure you’re okay?

I’m sure!” Caroline briefly walked around. Actually, I didn’t need to be hospitalized at all out my mussan

d was too worded about me she explained, blushing.

When Jude saw this, he laughed and said. “So that’s now it is. You realy scared me. Came

Then, he turned around and locked at Bre asking. “What

are you people making a fics about I could hear all of you from afect

Brie bit her lic, mustering the courage to explain herself. “Mr. Worrison Senior, accidentally discovered t

hat the ceramic vase Carpine gave you didn’t belong to her. It belongs to Eddy’s second unce.”

Jude raised an eyebrow. He had a stem expression, devoid of the kindness Ted STown Carpine. “What

are you trying to say?

Brie explained anxiously. “Mr. Morrison Senior, she’s passing

of someone else’s git as rets. She’s a deceitful person. If we don’t expose her lies, she won’t change h

er ways

Jude’s expression was as dark as night. He sat down on the couch with Carpine’s reb. He stomped his

walking cane to the ground with a loud bang.

“Eddy’s second unde decided this himself. You stuboonly wouldn’t let Caroline off the hook at my birthd

ay banquet. So Eddy’s second uncle came up with a compromise. Yet you’re bringing it up again today

to cause Carbine trouble.

“It seems that I misjudged

your change in attitude a few days ago. Ws. Colire. You stil don’t know your mares.

Brie’s face tumed pale as she tried to explain, saying “Mr. Morison Senior, -

t’s not what you think. I was just afraid that Eddy’s second uncle had been deceived, so I was desperat

e to ask Caroline for an explanation.

Jude smiled. He countered. “Let me ask you this in rear. What right do you have to worry about these t

hings?

Brie blinked and answered. “My right as his fiancés, of course.*

Rumors about Brie and Kirk’s marriage had been spreading in social circles for a long time. Now that th

e parties had validated these rumors, everyone couldn’t help pricking their

ears, wanting to hear the more exciting news.

Standing beside Jude, Caroline’s expression shifted slowly, and she stared at the old man in disbelief.

Jude chuckled. “Since when were you his fiancée?” He wasn’t aware that something like this had happ

ened.

Brie explained, ‘Didn’t you agree to my request at your birthday banquet?”

Jude frowned, trying to recall their conversation. Finally, he said. “I was referring to visiting your home t

o appreciate your paintings. What else would I be referring to?”

Brie’s face turned even paler from shock, but she quickly said. “But at your birthday banquet you let me

into the main hall —

* That was an unprecedented privilege. She’d thought that it was an acknowledgment in disguise.

Jude explained reasonably. “Eddy’s second uncle is married, so your engagement with him is null and

void. To make up for it, I asked the butler to let you into the main banquet hall.‘

Brie was stunned. She thought, “How could it be? How could Eddy’s second uncle be married?”

The people who’d come here to watch the drama enjoyed Brie’s misfortune. The tables had tumed, and

Brie had become a laughingstock.

Looking at the distraught Brie. Jude sighed and said, ‘Carrie, let me take
