Chapter 67

After breakfast, Caroline received a text from Gwen. “Carol! Did you really announce your marriage at Mr. Morrison Senior’s birthday banquet?”

Caroline replied with a “Yes.” The second she sent it, Gwen called.

On the phone, Gwen sounded excited. “Oh my God! Carol, you’re so brave. Was Mr. Morrison Senior mad? Are you okay?”

“No, he only said he wanted to meet my husband.” Caroline’s face turned pink when she mentioned Kirk.

Gwen let out a breath. “I was so scared! I thought Mr. Morrison Senior would throw a tantrum. But this is good. You’ve finally escaped that scumbag, Eddy!”

Gwen had barely finished saying that when Eddy’s angry voice came from outside. “Caroline, get out here!*

Caroline was stunned.

Gwen heard Eddy’s shout too. Nervous, she asked, “Carol, what’s going on?*

“It’s nothing.” Caroline reassured. “I’ll call you back in a bit.”

After saying that, she quickly hung up.

Just as she put down her phone, she saw the bedraggled Sarah and Dan. Caroline frowned. She looked confusedly at Eddy beside them.

Eddy stepped forward and asked, “Where’s your husband?” It was only then that Eddy realized he didn’t even know the man’s name.

Caroline gave him an unbothered look. “Is something the matter?” 1 “Are you blind? Can’t you see that your parents have been tormented?”

Caroline turned to look at Sarah and Dan as they shivered. She looked confused.

“Your husband got a cab driver to send them on top of a hill, remove their clothes, and leave them there all night in the cold.*

Caroline interrupted Eddy and said, “How can you prove my husband did it? Do you have evidence?”

Eddy was taken aback. After a second of hesitation, he said, “Caroline, shouldn’t you worry about your parents when they’re in this state? Why are you speaking up for an outsider instead?”

A hint of mockery flashed in Caroline’s eyes. “I’ve already said we have nothing to do with each other anymore. I said that when they blackmailed me with their suicide to announce our marriage! All I can say now is that they deserved what they got. It’s good enough that I’m not celebrating what happened to them.” (1 This shocked Eddy completely.

Was it Sarah and Dan who’d forced her to make the announcement?

He looked at Sarah and Dan, both of whom avoided his eyes.

Eddy rubbed his temples. “Even if your parents made a mistake, you shouldn’t treat them that way. Get your husband to come and apologize to them. Then, we’ll call it even.”

Caroline lowered her head and suddenly laughed.

“How strange. You’ve never helped them before, even when we were engaged. They were practically your in–laws then, but you never did anything for them. But you’re trying to get justice for them now that we have no relationship at all?”

Eddy turned livid at Caroline’s words.

It was true that he hadn’t cared about the Evans family back then. Even the investments were only made because Jude asked.

He only wanted to intervene now because of what Sarah said-“It must have been Caroline’s husband!”

He wanted Caroline to know that she’d married a piece of trash. That letting him go was the biggest mistake of her life!

“I can’t watch anymore.” Eddy took a deep breath. “Since you’re already married, then Mr. and Mrs.

Evans are his in–laws. How could he
