Bogus Billionaire Chapter 110
Caroline called Gwen insane in response to her claims before hanging up the phone. Just as she put down her phone, she got another call from an unknown number. She answered the call after a moment's hesitation. "Hello?""Hello. Is this Caroline Evans?""Yes.""I'm Jules Hawkins, the newly appointed CEO of Thorne Industries. First, I hope you accept our sincerest apologies for our major mistake during the judging process." The CEO himself had apologized to her. Their standards were high."It's all good as long as the truth is out.""Thank you for your understanding," Jules said in a charming voice. "After some discussion, our company has unanimously decided that you're both the winner and the runner-up of this competition. So, you'll get the winnings and prizes for both places. "Just as we'd announced, there's a special bonus for the winner: a lifetime contract as the design director at our company. Are you interested in our offer, Ms. Evans?"Caroline's breath got caught.

"Damn, they're giving Caroline tons of privileges, aren't they?" "The first thing a large company like them did was welcome the design director. Oh my God. I'm starting to doubt the things I see on the internet." "The boss of this company is allegedly Mr. Eddy's second uncle. If Mr. Eddy and Caroline have broken up, there's no way his second uncle would give her such a big privilege, right?" "Exactly. That's why I'm doubting the authenticity of this post." The netizens were eating up the gossip from this particular post like a buffet. However, it caused an uproar among the upper-class citizens, especially the big four families, who had been kept in the dark about this.The company merger proved that Eddy's second uncle had already infiltrated Easton's market. However, none of them had noticed anything before this. Furthermore, the quick change in public opinion made them even more uncertain about whether Caroline would marry into the Morrison family. Another shocking thi

Although Layla was unwilling to do it, she had to put on an act for Eddy. Besides, she was sure that Caroline would mock her. When that happened, she could put on a miserable face and shift the blame on Caroline, killing two birds with one stone.Layla opened her private message with Caroline, only to find that she wasn't on Caroline's contact list. She tried calling Caroline, but she'd also blocked her number. She sniffled, looking at Eddy helplessly. She said, "Caroline must be mad at me. She blocked my number on everything. Can you lend me your phone, Ed?"Eddy took out his phone and handed it to Layla.Layla opened Eddy's list of contacts and called Caroline, but no one answered. Then, she tried to contact Caroline through WhatsApp. Only then did Eddy realize that Caroline had blocked him as well. "She removed my number on WhatsApp too."Layla noticed it as well. She saw the prompt on the screen saying that Eddy's number wasn't on Caroline's contact list. She also saw t

"Are you—""Carol!" Before Caroline finished her question, she heard Gwen's excited voice. Caroline looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing Gwen getting out of Sean's car, she asked, "Did you both come here together?""Yeah," Sean answered. "Congratulations, Ms. Evans."Caroline gave Gwen a vague glance and said to Sean, "Thank you, Dr. Yates, but you don't have to be so formal. Just call me Carrie from now on.""Carrie?" Kirk hummed from the side.After glancing at Kirk, Sean said, "I'd better call you Caroline. You don't have to be formal, either. You can just call me Sean.""Okay."As they talked, the four of them sat at a table. From time to time, Kirk would look down at his stool.Noticing his actions, Caroline asked, "What's wrong?"Kirk had been acting weird from the moment they'd arrived at the restaurant. Sean joked, saying, "Just ignore him. A rich man like him is lowering his dignity to dine in this open-air barbecue restaurant. It's normal for him to be un

Feeling a headache, Sean bit the bullet and said, "He goes by so many names that I can't remember his actual one.""What name does he go by now?" Caroline asked."Matthew," Sean answered.Then, he looked at Kirk smugly, raising an eyebrow. He was telling the truth; Matthew was one of Kirk's aliases."Matthew …" Caroline whispered in a clear voice.Kirk's heart skipped a beat when he heard her whisper his name. He looked at Caroline's plump lips, feeling the urge to kiss her."Here's the bread." The waiter put the plate of bread on the table, blocking Kirk's view. When the waiter left, Caroline had already begun talking to Gwen about Layla."She must be so pissed right now! I'm happy just thinking about it!" Gwen took a bite of her bread. "It's so satisfying to see her suffer! If Layla had gotten the job, she would've acted all high and mighty, showing it off to you."Sean also took a slice of bread. He asked curiously, "Is Layla Eddy's lover?""Oh, you know her too?" Gwen

At the convenience store, Caroline bought a few pieces of bread and a few bottles of water.Gwen asked her curiously, "Why are you buying water?" There were cold drinks at the barbecue restaurant.Caroline couldn't help but blush. "I want some regular water."Gwen sauntered to her, asking, "Is it for you, or are you buying it for Kirk?""It's for me, all right?" Caroline took another water bottle before asking Gwen, "What's going on between you and Sean?""Huh? Nothing!" Gwen felt a little sheepish. There really wasn't anything between her and Sean, so she had no clue why she was acting like this."Oh, really?" Caroline stared straight into Gwen's eyes, making the latter feel a little awkward."Carol, didn't I promise I wouldn't pursue him?"Caroline said, "If you really like him, I don't mind."Gwen waved her hand. "Forget it. Both his work and family are abroad. Who knows when he'll be leaving this place? Long distance relationships are too difficult."Her friend's words to

Meanwhile, Sean took Gwen home. Gwen was still protesting at the door, "Let go of me! I will give that bastard the verbal lashing of his life!"Sean held Gwen's waist with one hand and opened the door with the other. After he turned on the lights, he told Gwen, "If you weren't Caroline's friend, you would have been a corpse by now."Gwen wasn't convinced. "Hmph. Does he really have what it takes to kill me?"Sean shrugged, saying nothing in response. He walked to the kitchen and poured Gwen a glass of water. Gwen was still sulking. "He's the one who cheated in the first place.""I know Kirk very well, so I'm very sure that there's nothing between him and Brie."Gwen took a sip of water. She retorted, "Of course you'll defend him. He's your friend, after all.""I'm not defending him," Sean said. He briefly explained what had happened when Brie tried to seduce Kirk in the private room that day. "If there were really something between them, Kirk wouldn't have thrown her out li

Early the next day, Caroline woke up. She hurriedly lifted the blanket, only to find her clothes intact. They … hadn't done anything last night."You're awake?"Caroline looked up and saw Kirk coming out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his hips. Cold water fell from his hair, dripping down his well-defined muscles before getting absorbed by the towel. The sight bewildered her. She answered, "Yeah."Kirk approached her and sat down on the bed, which dipped under his weight. His movements made Caroline's heart pound, and her face turned crimson.Kirk fiddled with Caroline's earlobes, saying, "You fell asleep last night.""Huh?" Caroline remembered what had happened last night. Kirk had left the room to answer the phone, and … she'd fallen asleep. Her face reddened even more as she apologized, saying, "I'm sorry!"Kirk pulled her into his arms, asking, "How do you plan to make it up to me?"Caroline quivered and said shyly, "C—close your eyes."Kirk listened

Soon, Kirk and Caroline met up with Thomas. When he saw the two of them, his eyes turned bloodshot from the rage boiling within him. "You won!" He spat with so much force that it seemed like he had used up all his strength for it. "Things didn't have to come to this," Kirk said calmly as he sat down beside Thomas. Thomas snorted derisively. "Oh really? If you hadn't chosen to marry Caroline at such short notice, do you think Eddy would have died? You two were the cause of the tragedy!" Caroline didn't feel like talking anymore after seeing how foolishly adamant Thomas was. She gave Kirk a look, and he hummed in acknowledgment. When he turned to face Thomas again, his eyes were frosty "I'm here to tell you something," he said.Thomas let out a bark of scornful laughter. "Why? What else do you have to tell me, huh? Are you going to tell me that you have a child now?" "It's not about me and Caroline's child. It's about yours," Kirk stated plainly as he stared at Thomas

"Yes, it's true! Why would I lie to you about something so important?" Betty said. "This is wonderful! Marietta's wish has finally come true." Caroline turned to look at Marietta, who had just stopped by the door. Marietta was so shocked by the results that she was too stunned to speak. All she did was stare at Caroline in silence. Caroline opened her lips to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. She and Marietta stood facing each other, tears streaming down their cheeks. The next second, the two of them rushed toward each other and hugged each other as tightly as they could. The words that were at the tip of their tongues turned into tears at this significant moment. The others felt touched as they witnessed the mother-daughter duo's reunion. After some time, Betty broke the silence. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her 'Mom'!"Caroline had once used that word to address Marietta, but she hadn't known that Marietta was her biological mother back then.

Blushing, Caroline nodded. However, Kirk couldn't lift his head due to his injuries. So, Caroline took the initiative to bend over so that she was closer to him. Their lips touched. Yet before Caroline could get that warm, fuzzy feeling she always had when they kissed, she heard Gwen's voice. "Oh? Did we come at the wrong time?" Gwen grinned.It gave Caroline such a shock that she almost fell to the ground. Cheryl reacted quickly and gave Caroline an arm to hold on to for support. Steadying herself, Caroline stared daggers at Gwen, who giggled and placed the supplements she had brought on a table. Sean and Kirk started discussing what had happened that day, while Caroline led Gwen and Cheryl out of the ward. "Are you two back together?" Gwen asked. There was a sparkle in her eyes, which said enough about how eager she was to gossip. When Caroline nodded, Gwen patted her back gleefully and said, "Great! We all know how much Kirk loves you, even though he kept his ident

As Caroline mentally prepared to face death, there was a sudden, loud commotion. The noise was followed by gusts of wind that were so strong that no one could pry their eyes open to see what was going on. Still, Caroline could make out the silhouette of a helicopter above her. She had no idea what had happened next, though. …When she woke up, she was already lying on a bed in a ward. Beside her were Betty and Marietta, their eyes red and puffy from crying. When they noticed that Caroline was awake, the two of them shot up from their chairs."Carrie? You're finally awake!" Still groggy, Caroline forced herself to hum in response. After getting up, she grabbed Betty's hand and said, "Where's Kirk?" "He's fine," said Betty while wiping the tears off her cheeks. "He's in another ward, but he hasn't woken up yet." "Can I see him?" Caroline asked, tearing up. Betty nodded and asked Sean to push Caroline's wheelchair to the ward next door. Caroline couldn't hold back her

Kirk and Caroline hadn't even caught their breaths yet when they sensed a more intense attack coming their way. It didn't seem like these people were human. They seemed like monsters, bringing destruction wherever they went. Caroline watched the situation outside in concern. "Why hasn't Nightshade come back yet? Did he lie to us?" she asked. Kirk gritted his teeth and replied, "No, he wouldn't. They're all people from the dark web, and they're all honorable. Since he promised to bring the top two assassins, he'll definitely come back."As he spoke, he pushed her into a car. "But before that, you have to leave first," he insisted.Caroline noticed that his words were only directed at her. She grabbed his hand tightly. "What do you mean by that?"What did he mean she had to leave first?He replied, "Finn has sent over all his trump cards. If you don't leave, I have no doubt that he'll come here too. So, you need to leave now!" Caroline grabbed his hand. "We haven't gone to Ci

When she saw his reaction, Caroline couldn't help but smile. "What I mean is, let's head to City Hall to re-register our marriage certificate. The information we used to register our marriage before was all fake. "Can we update it with the real information now?"Kirk brightened up. "No problem."She looked at him and smiled again. However, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "Oh, I forgot about Thomas. Do you think he'll send someone to ambush us when we go to City Hall?"Kirk fell silent. He didn't want to change the plans, but he still said, "Then, let's wait for Nightshade to find the assassins—"Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out from downstairs. His face dropped, and he rushed to the window, where he saw two groups of people engaged in a gunfight. One of the groups was Thomas' men."What's going on?" Caroline asked as she got up from bed."Thomas must have found out that Nightshade left, so he took the chance to ambush us."Kirk led her to a

"If you make up with Kirk, I'll help you find them both."Caroline and Kirk were stunned to hear Nightshade's condition. Kirk had never expected Nightshade to say such a thing. Caroline was also in disbelief. She felt somewhat reluctant to agree to it."You don't agree?" Nightshade asked when Caroline remained silent. "Alright then, if you disagree, I won't look for them. Besides, Thomas is already planning to go all out against you. "When the time comes, I can escape. But what about you two?"Caroline looked at Kirk. "Thomas plans to go all out against us? You're not lying to me?"Kirk met her eyes and gulped. "No."She pondered for a moment, then looked at Nightshade again. "Do you really have a way to help us find the two assassins?""Of course.""Okay." Caroline lowered her head. "As long as you can help us find those two assassins, I'll agree to your condition."On the other side of the room, Betty and Marietta exclaimed excitedly when they heard her words. "Carrie, do

When Betty noticed how confused everyone looked, she said, "Oh, dear. Did you all forget?"Back then, when Marietta did the DNA test with that girl from the Hackett family—no, the fake Ms. Hackett—Caroline was the one who went to the restaurant with her."She continued, "Didn't we look through the footage from that day? Then, we called in the people who were at the restaurant that day to do another DNA test."Although they had unfortunately been unable to find Marietta's daughter, Betty still considered it a great effort. "We had thought that we had tested everyone. But there was someone who we didn't test!" Betty's eyes lit up as she looked at Caroline. Marietta immediately understood what she meant. She looked at Caroline with excitement, but she didn't dare to get her hopes up. "Caroline…"Caroline also looked at Marietta excitedly. "I… Aunt Mary… this… Is it possible?"Betty replied, "Why wouldn't it be possible? We tested so many people back then, and you were the only

Sarah was about to tell Caroline, but Dan stopped her."Don't tell her. Let her live in pain without ever knowing who her real parents are. Besides, do you really think she will get us the best lawyer?"Caroline wasn't upset that they hadn't taken the bait. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face. "You still have some sanity left."Upon realizing her trick, Sarah shouted angrily, "You liar!"However, she was taken away before she could shout more. Caroline watched as Sarah and Dan disappeared in the police cars. The feigned strength on her face finally disappeared. She might never find her parents in this life. But she didn't regret it. She tilted her head and glanced at Kirk, Cheryl, and Jack beside her. She had no regrets anymore.Even though she couldn't get her parents back, she was content that she had so many friends."Let's head back." Caroline's voice was weary. She needed a good rest, but there was still a tough battle waiting for her. The news about Caroline n
