Chapter 482

When Caroline woke up the next day, she found that there were several missed calls from Gavin.

Surprised that she had slept so fitfully through his calls, she hastily patted her cheeks in an

attempt to make sure that she was fully awake.

Her movements roused Kirk. One of his legs was pressed stubbornly against her body, and he

mumbled, “Darling, it’s still early. Let’s sleep for a little longer…

“I have to call someone back.”

“It can wait,” Kirk muttered into her back.

After trying hard to recompose herself, she told him. “No. I have to make the call now.”

Gavin had called her multiple times. It could only mean that something had happened.

Kirk’s eyelids fluttered open. Eventually, he relented when he saw the determined expression on

her face. “Fine,” he said.

Her expression made her seem as though she was a scumbag who wanted to shirk all

responsibilities after a one–night stand.

Shaking off all the messy thoughts in her mind, Caroline picked up her phone and left the room.

A breeze blew when she got to the corridor, the cold helping to make sure that she was wide

awake.

She dialed Gavin’s number and took a breath to calm down before he answered the call.

Soon, Gavin’s anxious voice sounded from the phone. “You finally answered your phone!”

“What happened?”

“Dan came to see me yesterday and asked me to drop the lawsuit.” Gavin pressed his fingers

against his temples.

“He said that if I don’t do it, he’ll ask Eddy to impose a sanction on our company.”

“I didn’t think too much of it at first, but he mentioned Layla …”

Gavin continued, “I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep last night. So I called you to discuss our

next step.”

Now, it was Caroline’s turn to massage her temples. She fell silent for a moment before asking him, “Is Eddy up to

something?”

“Not for now.”

“If that’s the case, we don’t need to worry about this yet.”

“But Layla and Eddy are-”

“Layla’s not a Samaritan. Dan has to give her something that will catch her eye. Otherwise, she won’t see any

reason to help him,” Caroline explained.

“For now, there’s nothing he can offer her in return for her help.”

The weight on Gavin’s heart lifted instantly at her words.

“Besides, Dan has indeed broken the law by getting involved in corruption. There’s no doubt that he will be

punished. If Eddy has his back now, the Morrison family will be doomed.”

Relief washed over Gavin, and he said, “I can finally stop worrying now. Sorry for calling you so many times last

night.”

“It’s fine,” Caroline said with a smile, ending the call.

She gazed out the window at the branches of a tree nearby. The leaves rustled ever so slightly in the breeze. The

movement was so unnoticeable that no one would’ve noticed if they hadn’t paid

attention to it.

Caroline leaned against the wall as her thoughts wandered to Eddy. He seemed to be able to tolerate almost

anything and everything when it came to Layla.

He hadn’t been mad at Layla when her company went bankrupt. Instead, he had helped her settle

the problem regarding her funds and even had the best PR team in Easton to help her with it.

Therefore, Layla hadn’t suffered much loss, although she might have humiliated herself and lost

quite a sum of money.

In fact, knowing her, she probably would have seized this chance to act all poor and pitiful in front

of Eddy.

Caroline couldn’t get why he tolerated her so much.

He wasn’t the kind of person to change his taste and indulge himself with other women.
