Chapter 170
Sean wasn’t very excited about it. “I don’t feel like going.”
Kirk didn’t say more to Sean. He hung up and sent Sean an address.
About an hour later, the two met up at the bar.
Sean had reserved a VIP room. When he saw Kirk come in alone, he curled his lip. “Why are you alone?”
Kirk took out a cigar from his cigar box and put it between his teeth. He lit it and sunk lazily into the couch. “Did you expect more people?”
“Caroline didn’t come with you? She had nothing to say about you coming to a bar?”
Kirk’s tone was blank as he smoked and said, “She doesn’t know I’m here.”
“You’re fighting again?”
Kirk flipped open his lighter with a crack. A bright flame lit up his sharp features. He looked down and hummed. It was impossible to tell how he was feeling.
“Why are you fighting?” Sean was curious and scooted closer.
Kirk let out a mouthful of smoke. He didn’t answer Sean and only smiled. “They say men are
heartless creatures after getting what they want. I think women are the same.”
Sean was immediately intrigued. “She used you and discarded you?”
Kirk looked sideways at him and said nothing.
Sean took a sip of his drink and said meaningfully “Who says that isn’t true? Women are all like
that.”
After all, he hadn’t seen Gwen since that last incident.
Kirk’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Sean through the wafting smoke. “Were you used and
discarded too?”
Sean hurriedly took another drink. He stuttered out, “H–how could I p–possibly be used and
discarded?”
Kirk stared at Sean in silence for a long time. Then, he looked away and put out his cigar. He
opened a bottle of beer and threw his head back to finish it.
Quickly after, he finished a second bottle and a third.
Seeing this, Sean swiftly stopped him. “Are you crazy? If you keep drinking like this, do you plan.

Kirk shook Sean off forcefully He finished off another bottle.
Kirk had a high alcohol tolerance. He was still alert after all those bottles of beer.
He sniffed himself and found the light scent of alcohol.
Kirk looked up and said to Sean, “Call Carrie.”
“What for?”
“Call her and tell her I got drunk!” Kirk was impatient.
Sean was shocked for a moment, but he quickly understood what Kirk wanted to do..
He laughed. “You’re really a man who’s full of tricks.”
Then, he took out his phone. After a second of hesitation, he walked out of the room to call
Caroline.
Caroline was currently going through the information on Corvin French. When her phone buzzed
on the bedside table, it gave her a fright.
She grabbed it and looked at it, only to see that Sean was calling. She answered the phone.
“Caroline, Kirk got drunk at a bar. Can you come over and pick him up?”
“Just get him an Uber.”
Sean was speechless. Were they really in that big of a fight?
Sean was silent for a moment. Then, he said, “But it’s really secluded here. It’s not easy to get a
ride. Caroline, won’t you just come over? He’s drunk and feeling really bad. He keeps calling your
name.”
Caroline caved. “Alright.”
“Oh, right.” Sean’s voice became low. “I … Um, I also drank a lot. I can’t drive either. Can you call
someone to take me home?” 1
This time, Caroline didn’t hesitate. She agreed immediately.
Joy shot through Sean. He thanked her profusely.
Caroline looked at her dark screen in confusion.
Sean didn’t have to be so grateful, right? All she was doing was getting another person.
