Chapter 29

Everybody got up and prepared to greet Kirk, but what he did was punch Eddy in the face. Their jaws dropped, including Eddy’s himself. After a pause, Eddy cradled his cheek and raised his

head. “Uncle Kirk?” Kirk looked at him with a venomous gaze.

Sean was the first to get his senses back and signaled to the others to leave the room. “Kirk, what’s the matter with you?”

“Yeah, why did you hit me out of nowhere, Uncle Kirk?”

“You know why, don’t you?” Veins bulged on the back of Kirk’s hand. If it wasn’t because Sean was holding him back, he would have punched Eddy again. “No matter how much you hate Caroline, you should never have sent a man to rape her!”

Kirk’s patience toward Eddy had already reached its limit over the surgery incident, and he did not expect Eddy to cross another boundary.

Eddy said in shock, “When… When did I send a man to … rape her?”

“She was almost assaulted by Kent Pearson tonight, I witnessed it with my own eyes. Are you still not going to admit it?”

“What? Kent Pearson?” Eddy was confused. He fished out his phone and said, “If you don’t believe me, then you can check my phone. I never contacted any Kent Pearson!”

Kirk laughed mirthlessly and grabbed Eddy’s phone. He scrolled through it and held it to Eddy’s face.

“How are you going to explain this?”

Eddy looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen in confusion. A few minutes later, he finally recalled that he had been with Layla the night before and his expression changed drastically. He collapsed into a chair and said, “No way, Layla isn’t that kind of person.”

Kirk clenched his fists and said, “If you can’t keep your woman in check, then I’ll help you!”

Eddy’s thoughts were a whirlwind and he seemed out of reach. He turned around and left the room.

When the room was quiet again, Sean said teasingly, “It looks like I’m getting a wedding invitation from you and Caroline soon.”

Kirk frowned in disapproval and said, “What are you going on about?”

“You’ve already defended her so heroically. Don’t deny it.”

“I just felt sorry for her,” said Kirk expressionlessly. Sean laughed softly and said, “There are many

other miserable people in the world, but why do you only feel sorry for her?”

Right when Kirk was about to burst into a rage, the door opened.

Brie stuck her head in and said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Morrison. I’m Brie Collins. Previously, Mr.

Morrison Senior mentioned matchmaking us, but I didn’t expect to meet you here!” She had seen pictures of Kirk before, but she was worried they were doctored. Little did she expect him to be even more handsome in real life. He also had a good figure, and the manly way he had punched Eddy made her heart do somersaults.

Kirk was already annoyed, and he felt even more frustrated when he heard her playful tone of

voice.

Looking at the two of them and thinking about how Kirk had adamantly denied any feelings for Caroline, Sean felt amused. “I’m going out to sober up,” he said. When he passed by Brie, he whispered, “Ms. Collins, I’ll leave Mr. Morrison in your capable hands!”

Brie was overjoyed and nodded fervently. The instant Sean left, she sat down beside Kirk excitedly.

Although he gave off an unapproachable air, she bravely brought herself closer to him, little by little, until there was only an inch between them.

“You’re interested in me, are you?”

Kirk turned to her suddenly with a naughty smile that was mesmerizing yet dangerous.

Brie’s heart started beating out of control as she nodded boldly. “Yes.”

Their arms were touching and Brie could feel his solid muscles under his shirt. In the next moment, Kirk suddenly grabbed her wrist. Brie was surprised and happy. Coyly, she said, “Mr.

Morrison, I…’
