Chapter 84
Brie gritted her teeth. She seemed to have realized something and scoffed. She said, “Forget it. What’s the point of arguing this with you?
Look-
Brie turned around and picked up a velvet box from the table. She flipped it open.
She showed off the contents of the box. Inside was a ring with a rare pink diamond.
Caroline’s brain started buzzing.
Before she could react, Brie took out the diamond ring and put it on her index finger. “He bought this especially for me. Isn’t it beautiful?”
The ring gleamed in the warm light of the room. The sight made Caroline’s heart ache.
She put a hand over her heart and said, “It’s really you!”
The other woman Kirk had was really Brie Collins!
“Of course it’s me.” Brie misunderstood Caroline. She was pleased as she said, “Would it be for you instead? Dream on. Just look at yourself. Do you think you’re worthy of him?”
Caroline’s eyes were already starting to sting. She blinked and bit her lip hard. After a second, she said in a low voice, “Actually, I have no right to ask anything about it. I’ll be leaving now.”
That said, Caroline walked off without looking back.
Caroline’s decisiveness surprised Brie. Still, she was glad that Caroline was gone.
Brie ducked her head and looked at the ring on her finger. She beamed.
What a beautiful diamond ring! If only it were for her.
“Who said you could come in here?” A stern voice suddenly came from behind Brie. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Right after, Kirk’s large figure approached. He grabbed the ring from Brie’s finger.
Brie’s finger hurt so much that she gasped. “Mr. Morrison, it hurts!”
Kirk’s demeanor was chilling. “Who told you you could touch my things?”
Brie braced herself and tried to sway Kirk. “Mr. Morrison, this ring is gorgeous. You should gift it to me.”
Kirk’s cold gaze landed on the food container on the floor. His brows furrowed. “Who else was here?”
“No one,” Brie lied.
Kirk’s expression darkened further. “I don’t hit women, but I don’t mind changing my mind about that!”
Brie was taken aback. Fear seized her. “It was. It was Caroline Evans.”
She continued, “Mr. Morrison, you shouldn’t let that woman confuse you with her looks. She’s not a good person. She’s not right for you!” There was a loud bang as Kirk shoved Brie away. He picked up the food container on the ground and leaped over Brie, who had fallen to the ground.
As he was about to leave, Kirk said coldly, “Break the finger you wore the ring on. If you don’t, I’ll do it for you.”
Brie sat on the floor and trembled all over. She felt completely weak.
Caroline had gone downstairs. At a loss, she headed toward the parking lot.
Her heart was in such pain. It hurt so much that she could barely breathe. Strangely, she was hoping for the pain not to end.
It was as though, if she kept feeling the hurt, she wouldn’t recall that Kirk had another woman. And that woman was Brie Collins. She’d imagined it to be many other people, but she’d never thought it would be Brie.
There was a hurried knock at the car window.
rabbit. She reached for her car keys in a panic and started the car.
Kirk didn’t stop banging on the car window. “Caroline, open the door!”
Caroline turned the steering wheel in a frenzy as she tried hard to ignore Kirk outside the car.
When Kirk saw this, he frowned. He looked toward the exit, which wasn’t too far away. He quickly jogged over and stood by the barrier.
Caroline drove closer to Kirk, the headlights shining on him.
Despite that, he stood firm as a tree and didn’t even move a muscle.
