Chapter 642

Kirk had just entered a high–end wine cellar when a man who looked like the manager walked over. He was friendly as he asked, “Excuse me, are you the man Mr. Thomas Morrison is meeting?”

Kirk gave an affirmative answer.

The manager replied, “This way, please.”

Kirk followed the manager to a private room. Soon, he found Thomas inside, tasting wine.

When Thomas saw Kirk, he immediately stood up. “You’re here.”

Kirk nodded Thomas waved. Once the manager left the room, he said, “I know you don’t like too many people knowing who you are. That’s why I chose this kind of place. Are you happy with it?”

Kirk sat down before saying, “Thomas, you didn’t invite me out just for some small talk, did you?”

In response, Thomas chuckled a bit. “You’re too smart, Kirk. I won’t beat around the bush with you.

Dad’s funeral is in two days. Will you be attending it?”

Kirk paused. “I’m not sure yet. I’ll have to look at my schedule.”

Thomas said, “Kirk After a moment of hesitation, he continued, “I know the relationship between our fathers never got any better.

“If you hadn’t come back to the country for business, I’m sure our families would never have come into contact again “But the past is in the past. We have no grudges between us in our generation. Now that my dad has passed away, isn’t it time to put aside the grudges of the previous generation and live happily?

I’ve already called Uncle Ivan. It seems he hasn’t let go of what happened in the past. He won’t attend my father’s funeral.

“Well, I can understand that. But if you don’t attend, I’m afraid other people will make wild guesses about why.”

Kirk leaned backward and focused his gaze on Thomas. “Thomas, I can’t give you a definitive Thomas sighed once again. “Kirk, can you tell me what actually happened? Hasn’t your relationship with Eddy always been very good? How did things end up like this all of a sudden?”

Kirk frowned. After a moment, he stood up. “I’ll tell you once I get my schedule settled.”

Before Thomas could get up, Kirk had already left.

Watching Kirk walk off expressionlessly, Thomas sighed helplessly once more.

The second Kirk left, Eddy called Thomas.

“Dad, what did Uncle Kirk say?”

Eddy was still lying in the hospital after he had gotten beaten up out of nowhere. He had spent the past few days thinking hard about why Kirk had hit him, but he hadn’t been able to come to any sort of conclusion.

“He says he’ll tell us when he’s confirmed things,” Thomas said.

“Don’t bother with this for now. Just focus on recuperating at the hospital. In a couple of days, it’ll be your grandfather’s funeral. You have to be a host then, too.”

Eddy could do nothing but hang up. Afterward, he couldn’t help but mutter, “Mr. Zellen, why do you think Uncle Kirk hit me?”

Simon regarded Eddy’s clear but confused gaze. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. After all, Jude had gone to see Caroline alone that day. As an outsider, Simon really couldn’t comment on what had happened.

It would be fine if Kirk wasn’t Caroline’s husband. But if he was…

Simon didn’t dare to think too hard about whether there was anything fishy about Jude’s deaths He hadn’t known Kirk for a long time, so he could only try to understand Kirk from what others said of him.

Based on how ruthless Kirk was said to be, he could have killed Jude to hide the truth…

Simon didn’t dare follow that train of thought. The more he thought about it, the more he shivered.

“Mr. Zellen, why are you shaking?” Noticing that Simon was behaving strangely, Eddy stared at the man. “Do you know something?”

Simon was taken aback. Suddenly, his expression became even more unsightly.

“Mr. Eddy, I… I don’t know anything either.”

“That can’t be. You definitely know something!” Eddy was confident as he pointed at Simon.
