Chapter 42
Caroline had heard a lot about Eddy’s second uncle, but they’d never met before. Despite that, why
was he so concerned about her?
“Um.. he didn’t explain why, did he?”
“No, he didn’t,” replied Mr. Sander.,
“Alright, thanks.” Caroline sounded slightly dejected because she’d been expecting more.
Upon hanging up, she opened her laptop and started scouring the internet for any information on Eddy’s second uncle.
The man had spent most of his life overseas, so there was barely any news about him at home. A moment later, she realized that even his name wasn’t mentioned anywhere.
Frustrated about her fruitless investigation, Caroline began brushing her hair. Then, she suddenly recalled what the journalists yelled the other day.
According to them, Eddy’s second uncle attended the auction …
Had he noticed Brie bullying her? Perhaps he’d decided to intervene personally because he wanted to protect his family’s reputation?
Caroline massaged her throbbing temples.
Since it was so difficult to figure out the answer, why not just ask him directly?
She pulled out her phone and gave Jude a call. “Grandpa.”
“Carrie!” The old man sounded like he was in a good mood today. “So you finally remembered to
give this old man a call.”
“I’m sorry, Grandpa.”
“Hahaha, I like your honesty. Now tell me, what brings you to Grandpa? Ah! I’m going to lose this
round…”
Halfway through his sentence, Jude began talking to himself. Confused, Caroline asked him,‘ What are you doing right now, Grandpa?”

“Haha, it’s nothing. I’m playing chess with Eddy’s second uncle at the moment. This kid’s smart! We barely started, and he’s already got me beat!”
His reply caught Caroline by surprise. So he was right next to Jude?
“Is that so? I heard he’s a tremendously talented businessman, but I’m surprised he’s equally good at chess. So when are you going to introduce him to me?”
Jude laughed heartily “Are you that keen on meeting him? Alright, let me ask him about it,” he
replied as he stole a glance at Kirk
Kirk overheard their conversation as he was moving his piece, causing his fingers to shake ever–so
-slightly.
Over the phone, Caroline held her breath nervously.
A moment later, Jude’s voice came over the line. “He says no problem. You pick a time and place, and he’ll meet you there.”
“Alright,” said Caroline after letting out a long sigh of relief.
Finally, she was going to meet Eddy’s second uncle!
Overjoyed, she ran out into the living room, only to be greeted by silence. It appeared that Kirk had left without her knowing at some point.
She pumped her fist in the air triumphantly before darting back into her room to pick out an
outfit for her meeting.
Jude looked at Kirk as he passed his phone to the butler. “I’m surprised you’re willing to meet
Caroline.”
“We’re family after all,” Kirk answered earnestly.
The old man started to frown. “I’m afraid that the bond between her and Eddy will come to an end.
soon.”
If you’re clueless, then it means he’s no average Joe Jude stared at Kirk with a grave expression “I don’t know what will happen to Carrie and Eddy’s relationship, but you must help me find out
Jude patted him on the shoulder and reminded him, “Before I forget, I just want to tell you that Carrie is a good girl. My time’s running out, and if Eddy doesn’t change his mind in the future, could you help me make sure she’s looked after?”
