Chapter 220
Kirk warned, “You’d better pray that is the case. If she ligures something out, I’ll leave you to fend for
yourself in some tribe in the mountains.”
Speechless, Charles stared at Kirk.
“Hurry up and clear out the irrelevant people in the café downstairs,” Kirk ordered.
Charles slowly came to his senses and hurriedly said, “Yes, sir!” 1
After Charles left, Kirk pulled off his tie, feeling restless. He looked up at the sky. Although he looked
calm on the surface, his heart was already in chaos.
He even thought about what to do if Caroline had figured out he was Eddy’s second uncle. Kirk had to
show his sincerity in any way he could.
Ten minutes later, he went to the café downstairs. Charles had already swapped out all the staff in the
café with his subordinates.
Kirk found a table by the window and sat down. He tapped his fingers on the table as he waited.
As time slowly passed by, every second was torture for him.

Finally, he saw Caroline’s car arrive by the side of the road. His eyes lit up, but his heart ached slightly.
Then, he saw her leave the car and walk quickly to the café.
Kirk stood up and was about to greet her. He paused in his tracks, shocked when he saw that her nose
was red.
By the time he’d recovered from his shock, Caroline had already opened the door and come in.
Her nose was still red, and her eyes were wet. It seemed that she had cried. Kirk’s heart dropped at the
sight.
“Carrie he called out carefully.
Caroline sat across from Kirk and said seriously, “Kirk, you’d better answer my question honestly.”
Under the table, Kirk’s fingers curled slightly. “Go ahead.”
“Do you and Brittany know each other?”
Kirk hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
“You asked her to help me.”
Kirk nodded again.
“Why did she help me? What did you promise her?” At the end of her question, Caroline choked
slightly.
Kirk’s heart shattered instantly. He said, “Carrie, I didn’t mean to lie to you…”
“You betrayed the company and sold important information to Brittany for my sake, didn’t you?”
Caroline asked, covering her mouth with tears in her eyes. She had a conflicted expression on her
face.
Kirk froze in confusion.
Seeing that Kirk was silent, Caroline thought her suspicions were correct and snapped.
She grabbed Kirk’s hand and yelled, “Why are you so stupid? You betrayed your own company to get
Brittany to help me. It Eddy finds out about this, you’ll be dead!”
Kirk’s lips curled up into a small smile. He walked over to Caroline and sat down, holding her in his
arms.
Caroline didn’t even struggle. She simply looked up at Kirk with teary eyes.
On the way here, she had kept thinking about what kind of information he could have given Brittany to

scenario, selling business information could land him in prison.
Caroline panicked the more she thought about it. Her hands and feet were cold from sweat.
Kirk squeezed Caroline’s wrist and noticed that her hand was cold. So, he didn’t tease her. Instead, he
patted her with a smile. “What are you thinking, you idiot? I just gave Brittany some regular
information.”
He had simply asked Charles to tell Brittany that he was going to get into the entertainment industry.
Brittany was an intelligent woman. After he got into the entertainment industry, they would definitely
partner up in the future. To her,
helping Caroline was her way of getting on Kirk’s good side.
Caroline didn’t believe him. She asked suspiciously. “Why would she help you if you just gave her
regular information?”
