Chapter 123

Caroline was taken aback. The amount of information in Gwen’s words was a lot to process.

For a white, she didn’t know what to say or ask. After a while, she stammered, “Y–you guys prepared for a surprise proposal at a restaurant?”

“Yeah!” Gwen said regretfully, “It’s probably all gone now. After all, we don’t own the restaurant.

It’s a pity. I didn’t get to take pictures and capture the moment.”

Caroline felt regretful as well. After a while, she pulled herself together and asked, “I passed out when Kirk arrived at the hotel. Do you know what happened after that?”

“I wasn’t with him, so I don’t know.”

Caroline asked worriedly, “Are the public talking about this?”

Kirk had left the hotel unharmed and taken her away. There was no way Brie would give up after this.

“No.” Gwen took Caroline’s hand. “Don’t worry, Carol. If Brie dares to cause any more trouble, we’ll let Mr. Morrison Senior handle this.”

“Don’t. Grandpa is old and in poor health,” Caroline refused. “We’d better not get him involved.”

Heartbroken, Gwen said, “You always think about others and not yourself.”

As she spoke, she sighed. “I hate that I can’t do anything.”

The Jameson family was just a small family. The only reason Mrs. Jameson could even stay in Morrison Corporation’s private hospital was because of Caroline.

Caroline smiled. “I’m doing fine now, aren’t I? Before I can get back on my feet, I’ll play things by ear with Brie for now. I’ll bring the Evans family back on top sooner or later. When that happens, I can finally settle the score with them.”

Gwen smiled back at her. “I believe in you, Carol.”

The two chatted for a while longer. Noticing that Kirk wasn’t back yet, Gwen asked, “Where’s Kirk?

“I asked him to handle the flight tickets. I’ll be discharged from the hospital and go to Flonza in two days.”

“So soon? Your head hasn’t fully healed yet,” Gwen said, surprised Caroline said, smiling gently. “I’m afraid he doesn’t have enough vacation days, so it’s better to head over there sooner. I’ll just recuperate over there.”

As a corporate slave, Gwen fully understood her friend’s point. “That’s a good idea It’s not like Kirk is a rich, powerful man or something. He can’t get breaks so easily.”

The two of them chatted more before a knock sounded on the door.

Gwen got up and walked to the door. “Who is it?”

When she opened the door, she saw Eddy’s pathetic face Gwen was about to close the door, but Eddy stopped her I’m here to see Caroline *She doesn’t want to see you,” Gwen said sharply. She couldn’t stand looking at him Caroline had already seen Eddy at the door. She frowned slightly and said, “Let him in, Gwen‘

Gwen begrudgingly let Eddy enter the room “Is there something I can do for you?”

“Are you involved with what happened to Brie?” Eddy asked He noticed the gauze on Caroline’s head and wanted to say a few words of concern Still, when he saw her stern gaze, he held his tongue.

Caroline said, “I don’t understand what you mean ”

“Caroline.”

Eddy said sternly, “Things are really serious Someone beat Brie within an inch of her life, and Howard wants to know who did this to her I’m offering you a lifeline. You just have to explain what happened If Howard finds out that you did this, it’ll be too late “What did you say? Gwen said gleefully. “Brie got beaten within an inch of her life, you say? Haha!

Karma’s a bitch”
