Chapter 22
Without even looking up, Eddy said, “You should be at City Hall right now.”
Caroline took a deep breath and sat down opposite him. “I won’t divorce if you’re going to divest,”
she said.
Eddy looked up and smiled. “Caroline, do you know what you’re saying?”
“Of course I am,” said Caroline calmly. “I only found out today that the Evans family is only still standing on its feet thanks to the Morrison family’s support. It’s indeed reasonable for you to ask for one of my kidneys.” She lowered her head and her red lips formed a smile. “But, if you want me to die so that you can be with Layla, that’s too much.”
Eddy frowned. “Caroline, don’t put words in my mouth. When did I say I wanted you to die—”
Caroline waved a hand and cut him off. “The money spent on the Evans Group is yours. There’s nothing wrong with you wanting to divest, but at least give my family a chance to do something about it. I’ve done the math. As long as the company has 50 million in its accounts, that will be enough for it to push forward for a period of time. I hope you can give me half a month’s time to

make that amount of money.” (1
Eddy snorted softly. “Half a month? 50 million? Caroline, you’re really like one of those princesses in fairy tales who think that the world revolves around them.”
“Just tell me if it’s a deal.” Caroline looked directly into his eyes, her gaze firm.
It was actually Eddy’s first time seeing her so resolute. His heart inexplicably skipped a beat. He averted his gaze hastily and said, “Caroline, you know what it is I want. We really don’t have to make things ugly. As long as you marry me and give your kidney to Layla, she will live a healthy life. You just stay out of our business and be a good wife on paper, then you’ll spend the rest of your life without worry. It’s just that you’re so hell-bent on marrying a penniless man
”
Caroline’s expression changed abruptly and she said coldly, “You have no right to judge him.”
Her protectiveness made Eddy very uncomfortable. “Hah, isn’t he just
“Eddy Morrison.” Caroline shot to her feet and she leaned across the desk as she glared at him. “I
don’t want to hear you talking about him.” He was a good man and Eddy was in no place to speak
of him. With that, she took a deep breath and said in a milder tone, “If you don’t agree, then I have
no choice but to tell Grandpa about the surgery.” She didn’t want to threaten him with this.
Eddy recovered from his shock and frowned deeply. “Caroline, don’t be absurd!”
Caroline kept glancing at him, waiting for his reply.
