Chapter 230

Ivan’s voice was sharp. It was a little out of control.

Kirk held back the smile on his face. He said proudly, “Of course she is.”

“But you never told me that she’s Giselle’s granddaughter!”

“Giselle? Giselle Cassidy?” Kirk narrowed his eyes and deduced, “You know Caroline’s grandma?”

Ivan let out a long sigh. “If I remember correctly, Caroline is the wife your uncle had arranged for his grandson. And you married…*

Kirk’s face darkened as he cut Ivan off. “Carrie has nothing to do with the Morrisons. She’s married to me. She’s not someone else’s fiancée.

Ivan protested, “Your uncle will never agree to your marriage with Caroline!”

“How do you know that?”

Ivan sighed, “Because Caroline is very important to him.”

“She’s more important to me than my own life.”

Kirk said coldly. “I won’t let anyone take her away from me, even if it means I’ll lose my life.”

Seeing his son’s devotion to Caroline, Ivan stopped trying to persuade him.

After hanging up the phone, he sighed helplessly. Looking at the direction of the sunset, he murmured, “They’re doomed! They’re really doomed…”

He prayed that Kirk wouldn’t end up like him. He didn’t want his son to turn against his family and lose the only family he had.

At Evans Group, a gloomy atmosphere permeated the conference room. Evans Group’s shareholders were sitting at the table with Dan.

The company’s share prices had fallen due to Sarah’s accusations. The shareholders had already been unhappy with how Dan handled the company and how it wasn’t bringing in profits. Now, they were fighting with him even more.

“Mr. Evans, shouldn’t you give us a reasonable explanation for this?”

Dan’s face turned pale from everyone’s aggressive attitude. He said, “I–I have nothing to say.”

“Then, go home and take a break! At any rate, we’ll appoint a new CEO next month, so we’ll let him handle it!”

Dan looked at the shareholders in disbelief. He asked, “Are you kicking me out?”

“You’ve barely contributed to the company after being in office for many years.” No one had been able to stand him for a long time.

“If the Morrisons weren’t backing us, we wouldn’t have bothered ourselves with you. Besides, If there’s still someone capable in your family, ask them to replace you! That’ll make all of us happy!”

“But Morrison Corp is backing our company because I’m Eddy’s father–in–law!”

“Not anymore! Your daughter has already cut ties with you. Even if she decides to marry Mr. Eddy in the future, you won’t be his father–in- law!”

These words hit the nail on Dan’s head. He slumped down on his chair, regretting listening to Layla’s suggestion to accuse Caroline.

When he returned home, he found it covered with red paint and dung. What happened to Caroline was now happening to him.

Worried that someone would try and kill him, he hurriedly opened the door and entered the villa.

However, the atmosphere at home was even more depressing.

Sarah continued crying until her voice became hoarse. “How could she do this to us? No matter what, we were the ones who raised her…”

Dan was a little annoyed. He scolded, “You were the one who agreed to Layla’s plans, weren’t you?”

Both of them argued and almost got into a light.

Dan realized that this couldn’t go on. He gritted his teeth and urged Sarah, “Apologize to Caroline and tell her we were wrong! We need her to come back! We will never force her to marry Eddy again!”

Sarah refused. “I’m not apologizing! I’m not in the wrong!”

“If you don’t apologize, the company and this villa will all be gone!”

Sarah was stunned by his words. “W–what did you say?”

“Those people have long wanted to replace me. They have an annual CEO election as a mere formality, but this year, they want to choose the successor. They will support the new CEO. Do you know what that means?”

Sarah’s face was pale. She couldn’t say anything.
