Chapter 223

“Ignore him.” Gwen coldly swatted Sean away, but her face was slightly red.

She said, “We’re still not boyfriend and girlfriend.”

“Then, what are you both doing?”

“We’re on three–month probation. If we pass the probation, we’ll be boyfriend and girlfriend.”

“How Interesting.” Caroline lowered her head and chopped the vegetables.

She ordered, “You guys should talk outside. You’ll get in the way if you stay crowded in here.” (1)

Kirk refused, “I can help you!”

Caroline pushed him out of the kitchen. “No thanks.”

Kirk refused to let up, but Caroline heartlessly kicked him out of the kitchen, closing the door behind her.

“Darling.” Kirk opened a gap in the door and asked, “I just want to ask one question. I’ll leave you alone after that.”

“What?”

“Did you buy the grapes?”

Caroline blinked in confusion. She said, “Yeah, I did. Why?”

Kirk smirked. He said nothing else, but Caroline could tell he was pleased. She didn’t understand him.

Men would be happy with the simplest things.

Not long after Kirk left, Gwen came in.

“Can’t you just wait outside?” Caroline asked.

Gwen chuckled before moving closer to Caroline. She asked worriedly, “Carol, about your mother…”

Caroline’s expression remained neutral as she said, “Yeah? What about her?”

Gwen couldn’t believe her. She just thought that Caroline didn’t want to get her friend involved.

“But isn’t this a big scandal? Carol, don’t shoulder the burden alone. Although I’m not a celebrity and my words carry little weight. someone will definitely notice as long as I speak out.”

“It’s really okay.” Caroline looked at Gwen resolutely.

She said, “Just wait. In three days, you’ll see how all of this ends.”

Gwen looked at Caroline in astonishment, feeling like she had changed a lot. Caroline was no longer the young woman who brought herself down for love. She had changed for the better.

Gwen looked over at Kirk with eyes full of gratitude.

Noticing Gwen’s eyes on them, Sean waved at her.

Charles said anxiously, “Someone must have altered the trending searches, and the news about you has lost traction. Now, the medati s news is the most trending topic online. Everyone is cursing and criticizing her. Ms. Emerson asked me to call you. Do you want her to help clear the madam’s name now?”

Kirk glanced at Gwen, who was walking over. He calmly walked to the balcony. He asked, “What did my wife say about this?”

“She said to start her plan to clear things up in three days.”

He pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking of a solution.

He ordered. “Ask Brittany to discuss things with my wife tomorrow. Don’t disturb her today!”

Charles was startled by his order. “Yes, sir.”

“Also, find a way to improve the security around her tomorrow.”

“Yes, sir.”

After giving orders to Charles, Kirk returned to the living room with the phone in his hand. His expression was dark
