Chapter 347

After a moment, Kirk walked to the balcony and answered the call.

“You’re finally answering, little brother.” A charismatic voice came through the phone.

“Are you still unable to bear returning from your lover’s embrace?”

Kirk frowned, his mouth twisting into a mocking smile. “Your memory is terrible. Haven’t I told you that we’re not related?”

The caller chuckled. “Indeed, we have no blood relations. But I’m still Dad’s son. This is a fact that the government of Macldo recognizes.”

Kirk’s eyes narrowed. “If you have something to say, say it quickly. I don’t have time for this, and neither do you.”

“Oh, my sweet little brother, you understand me best. That’s right, I’m here to warn you.

“During the time you’ve spent stretching your legs in Easton, I’ve stopped lying in wait and started slowly taking up all your assets in Sarcozia. I’m sure you’ll soon receive a call from them.

“I wish you good luck, my dear, sweet little brother.”

After that, the caller hung up.

Kirk’s expression immediately turned dark. Unsurprisingly, his phone started ringing in the next second. It was a call from Charles.

“Sir, there’s trouble. Many of the deals we had signed with the government of Macldo have been disrupted. The technical department hasn’t found who’s doing it.” Charles was sweating profusely.

“The company has told me to inform you about this. Are you heading back immediately?”

Kirk immediately looked up toward the second floor. “Can’t they handle it?” he asked.

Charles wiped away some sweat. “I’m afraid not. With so many big deals being affected, the subordinates are all in fear. Sir, I think you have to make a trip back this time.”

“What a bunch of trash!” Kirk gritted his teeth.

After a moment, he said, “Call Sean and tell him I’m flying back. Make sure he rushes back to Easton at all costs.”

“Yes, sir.”

After hanging up, Kirk went up to the second floor. Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, he remembered what Caroline had said before closing the door.

He frowned. Then, he found a piece of paper and wrote a note before sticking it on the door.

After explaining things, Kirk finally left.

Caroline only found the note when she was heading downstairs for some food after her shower.

The note read, “Darling, the company needs me to head overseas for an urgent matter. Wait for me to come home, no matter what. I’ll give you a good explanation.”

From how messy the handwriting was, Caroline could tell that Kirk had been in a great rush.

Caroline took out her phone and clicked on his contact. After some hesitation, she put her phone away again.

She went back to her desk to work on her design. Yet she couldn’t manage to draw anything. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Kirk.

Throwing her pencil aside, Caroline walked over to the balcony in a huff. The cool breeze calmed her down a lot.

Suddenly, Caroline thought of Quentin. She headed back into the room and gave him a call.

“Quentin…” Caroline held her phone nervously.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Of course.” Quentin glanced at the time. He guessed that Adrian must have arrived already. He might even have confessed his feelings. Caroline calling him to ask him something was a good sign.

He composed himself and said, “Go ahead and ask.”

“Do you know how you can check if someone has remarried?”

Quentin was confused by this.

After not getting an answer from Quentin for a long time, Caroline checked her phone to make sure that she was still on the call. She put the phone to her ear again. “Quentin, is your phone signal bad over there?”

Quentin rubbed his eyes. “No.” He hadn’t expected Caroline to ask about this.

“What did you say just now?” he asked.

Caroline repeated herself.

“Just head to City Hall. Everything’s in the online database now. If you want to know someone’s marriage status, all you need to do is ask.”

“No, but he’s a foreigner.”

“Then go to his country and ask.” Quentin said with a laugh.

“It’s a record like any other. Shouldn’t you be able to find out about it at a government office?” Caroline was suddenly enlightened. “Thank you.”
