Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Caroline rushed to grab a towel from the bedside and stuffed it into Kent’s mouth. After all, it was her first time in a situation like that, and she was already at the end of her rope after pushing through to this point. Hearing the knock on the door, she trembled like a leaf, at a complete loss for what to do. A familiar voice came from outside. “Caroline, it’s me.” Stunned, Caroline opened the door without hesitation. Seeing that it was Kirk, she felt surprised and grateful at the same time. She threw herself into his arms. All the fear and trepidation she felt vanished in an instant. “What… What’s the matter?” Kirk patted her thin shoulders lightly and consoled her softly. “What would have happened to you if I wasn’t here?” He looked up and shot a dark glare at Kent, who was sprawled on the ground like a fat pig. “Wait here for me and don’t go anywhere,” said Kirk. He made sure Caroline was safe and walked into the room, shutting the door behind him. The camera was still glowing in the dark. He walked up to it and switched it off silently. The whole time, he was calm and graceful, like a classy prince. Kent looked at him in a daze. He only managed to force a few words after a long moment. “You’re… Kirk looked up and walked to Kent. He took out a card and handed it to him. Kent was stunned. Give this card to her when you go out and say it’s a token of your apology,” said Kirk. Seeing that Kirk had no intention of getting rough with him, he got a boost of courage. “You want to use me to give the money to Caroline. I’m not a fool. When Mr. Morrison finds out … Ahh!” With a loud snap, Kirk broke Kent’s right arm. He screamed in agony and broke out in a cold sweat. Kirk only looked at him coldly and asked, “Are you going to give it to her or not?” “No… Ahh!” His other arm was broken too. “Yes… Yes, yes, yes…” Kent said quickly for fear that he NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

would lose his life. Kirk stuffed the card into Ken’t pocket and said, “The PIN is her birthday, got that?” Kent nodded obediently after getting a taste of pain. “So… So can I go now?”

Kirk didn’t move, so Kent thought he was letting him go. He got up unsteadily, but just as he got his balance, Kirk kicked him. He toppled to the floor, feeling as if all his bones were about to break. He felt like he couldn’t get up anymore. “Didn’t I …” he stuttered. “That was just to get you to do something.” Kirk bore down on him like a mountain, looking fiercer than a beast in the darkness. “Now, this is revenge!” With that, he swung fist after fist at Kent. 1/3 “Kirk … Open the door!” If the beating went on like that, Kent might die. The shouts from inside started getting more terrible. “Kirk …” Caroline was panicking. “You have to calm down. Don’t risk your life for a scumbag like him!” However, it didn’t seem like Kirk was about to open the door any time soon. Caroline was beside herself with panic, but just as she was about to ask the staff for help, the door opened. Kirk came out with his hand around Kent’s neck. Caroline was shocked when she saw Kent, who had gotten so beaten up that he looked unrecognizable. Kirk kicked him, prompting him to give the card to Caroline. She saw him feeling around his pocket and thought he was going to call the police. She was so frightened that she immediately took cover behind him. “Kent, if you dare call the police, I’ll tell your wife what happened tonight!” Kent was speechless. “I recorded our conversation tonight and how you brought me into this room. If this evidence isn’t sufficient, then there’s still that camera by the bed. I think anyone who isn’t a fool would know what you were trying to do, right?” said Caroline. After chatting with Kirk the night before, she had done research on Kent. His wife was a fearsome woman and he was very afraid of her. That was why he had sent her back to her hometown a few years ago-so that she wouldn’t find out about his debauchery. Kent said with difficulty, “I won’t report it to the police.” How would he dare? Only then did Caroline breathe a sigh of relief, but she still felt worried as she looked at Kirk. “And you

mustn’t seek revenge privately. If he gets hurt in any way over the next few months, I’ll take it up with you.” Kirk glanced at Caroline, who looked so delicate, but was working so hard to protect him, and smiled. Kent was on the verge of tears. “How could I possibly dare when you have evidence of me? I … I just wanted to tell you that I have a bank card in my pocket with 50 million dollars in it. It’s for you, as a token of apology.” Caroline was taken aback. “Aren’t… Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Morrison will come for you?” She didn’t believe that Kent could be so kind. Kent gritted his teeth. He was more afraid of the ruffian in front of him. This man was a hundred times more terrifying than Mr. Morrison. Most importantly, the man seemed above the law. One moment earlier, Kent was certain he would kill him. “I…” Kent looked in Kirk’s direction and said, 2/3 Caroline took the card doubtfully. “Let’s go,” said Kirk and took off his coat to wrap it around her shoulders. Caroline got into the car, holding the card in a daze. “This card isn’t a trap, is it?” she asked. “If you don’t trust him, we can go get it checked.” Caroline smiled and said, “I just find his change of attitude too sudden. I was even planning to threaten him for the money with the recording…” Realizing that she had said something wrong, she fell silent immediately. Kirk smirked and said, “So you were planning to use the recording to get the money, but you used it to save me … If he hadn’t given you the bank card, wouldn’t you have regretted it?” Caroline answered directly, “I never thought about that.” At that moment, she had only worried that Kent would call the police and implicate Kirk. She couldn’t let anything happen to him. Kirk drummed his slender fingers against the steering wheel and asked, “When did you realize what he was up to?” “When he kept making me drink,” said Caroline proudly. She laughed. “He has no idea how much

experience I have drinking growing up so I could be fit for the role of Eddy’s wife. He can dream on if he thinks he can get me drunk!” Her face was still flushed and her expression was mischievous, and it melted Kirk’s heart. He jammed the brakes and pulled her into a hug, crushing her lips in a hot kiss. All the unease and jealousy he felt that night melted into passion, scorching his insides and his heart. Caroline widened her eyes in surprise and gazed at his handsome face that was inches away from hers, the heat slowly taking over her body.
