Bogus Billionaire Chapter 1149
"I heard that the Hacketts are going to hold a banquet for Cheryl to welcome her back home. It's said to be held in three days' time. Is it true?""Of course it is! I heard that all the members of the big four families have received invitations for the banquet.""Hackett Group and Evans Group were enemies before this. Will Caroline attend it?""She probably will. Didn't Cheryl work at Evans Group before this? Besides, the Hacketts have promised that they won't make things tough for Evans Group anymore." "Who knows? We'll get our answers on the day of the banquet." …At the Hacketts' residence, Cheryl was occupied with checking the invitations."Have we sent one to Eddy Morrison?" she asked. One day ago, Kirk had called her and specifically asked her to make sure that Eddy would attend the banquet. Although she wasn't sure what Kirk was up to, she knew that he wanted to teach Eddy a lesson. The maid in charge of the invites replied, "We sent it to him a couple of days ago

At Morrison Manor, Simon knocked on the door and entered the room. "Mr. Morrison, Mr. Eddy, the Hacketts called us again. They're asking if Mr. Eddy will attend the banquet for Ms. Cheryl." Eddy scoffed. "They called us again? Weren't they rude enough to stop working with us all of a sudden?" Thomas said, "It's always been nothing more than mutual cooperation between us and the Hacketts. But they betrayed us by chickening out so suddenly."He continued, "If we attend their banquet, it will only seem like we're the ones who fear them. I don't think you should attend it this time." "Why not?" Eddy didn't agree. "The Hacketts must have invited Caroline. This is a golden opportunity for me to see her. Why shouldn't I attend it?" This made Thomas frown in displeasure. "Eddy, didn't I tell you to let go of her? It does you no good to keep on thinking about her." "You want me to give up on her just like this? No. I want to tell her in person that the man she loves is a coward who w

"Got it," said Simon. He left the room to do what he was told. …Soon after that, the Hacketts received news that Eddy would attend the banquet. Cheryl told Kirk about it too. "It seems like Eddy's made up his mind. He's not giving up any chance to see Caroline," said Kirk. Sean stared at him for a while before saying, "Is he going to tell Caroline your identity during the banquet?"Kirk's face was as impassive as ever as he glanced at the map in front of him. There was a tiny red circle on it. Someone had drawn it there. Sean looked at the spot that was circled and realized that it was a place called 'Royals Tomb'. He took a sharp intake of breath. "Your plan … Is it completed?" After a while, Kirk finally raised his eyes to meet Sean's. "Yes. Everything's in place. Three days later, I'll end things with Eddy once and for all." Sean regarded Kirk with worried eyes, but he swallowed his words. Instead of providing words of concern, he simply smiled and said, "I've go

"Why won't you let me say hi to her?" Gwen asked, watching Cheryl enter the mall with a few other women. "Forget it. It doesn't matter," said Caroline. "See those women with her just now? They're all from the Hackett family, and all of them are powerful figures. What would they think if we approached Cheryl just to say hi?" She continued, "She's in the spotlight, so she has to be careful with everything she does. We shouldn't cause her any trouble. Besides, we'll get to see her in three days. There's no need to rush." "Fine," Gwen relented. "I would have hugged her already if it hadn't been for them. Look at how skinny she looks! I bet she's not happy living with the Hacketts." Caroline glanced in the direction where they had seen Cheryl. No one was there anymore, so she looked away. "What about us? Should we go shopping at this mall too?""Why not? I haven't prepared a gift for Cheryl," said Caroline. "Let's go." With that, the two of them went into the mall. It was so

The clothes were either too childish or too mature."Thank you. I still think this suits me better." Cheryl rejected everyone's deceptive suggestions and walked over to an aqua dress.This dress had gentle colors and didn't appear too inappropriate. However, it was so plain that it downplayed her brilliance as the lady of the hour. But it also wasn't so showy that it outshone the brilliance of the other members of the Hackett family."I'd like to try this one," Cheryl told the saleswoman.The saleswoman glanced at the manager. Seeing that the manager didn't nod, the clerk dared not take matters into her own hands. The manager acted based on the mood of the women in the Hackett family. These ladies were all regular customers. The manager knew everything about them.When he saw the dresses they showed to Cheryl, he could tell they were trying to embarrass her. Hence, he couldn't decide what to do. He could only look at Theodora Langley, the most distinguished woman of the bunch.

Caroline smiled lightly. "Cheryl is my former colleague. If I had known she was the daughter of the Hackett family, I wouldn't have hired her. "Speaking of which, you can't blame me for this. The woman who had lost Cheryl is the one to blame. Don't you think so?"Theodora's expression shifted slightly at her words. Before she could come up with a retort, Caroline continued, "Oh, by the way, the banquet will begin in three days, but you're only buying clothes for Cheryl now."Either your subordinates didn't plan this thing well, or they ruined her clothes. No matter the reason, your family's staff members seem rather incapable. What do you think?"Theodora's expression became even darker. Although Caroline was referring to her family's staff, she was actually directing her insults at the Hacketts.Theodora had initially wanted to show everyone that Cheryl was still involved with Caroline so that they would be cautious with her and alienate her. She hadn't expected to get lectu

Who on earth gave Caroline this much confidence? Was it that poor husband of hers?Cheryl said merrily behind Theodora, "Aunt Theodora, I think this rule is quite heavy-handed, too. Why don't we call the authorities?"The manager's expression shifted at her words, and he looked at Theodore in panic.Only then did Theodore look away from Caroline. "You don't have to do that. You're just trying on some clothes. Sir, you don't mind giving us a compromise, right?"The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly, "Yes, of course. You're all important customers here. I don't mind doing this simple thing. Feel free to try anything, Ms. Lewis."Cheryl said with a smile, "I'm not breaking your store's rules, am I?""No, of course not." The manager quickly asked the saleswoman to take down the dress.Cheryl took the dress into the fitting room, ignoring the manager's flattery.After trying on the dress, she walked out of the fitting room in satisfaction. "I'd like this d

"What's wrong?" Theodora asked sarcastically. "You don't have to cry if you didn't bring any money. We can pay that 180 thousand dollars for you."Theodore wanted to make the other Hacketts believe that Aiden's love for Cheryl was superficial. Since she had achieved her goal, she could stop there. Besides, if she paid for the dress, Aiden would owe her. "You don't have to do that." Cheryl raised her head, traces of darkness lingering in her gaze. However, her gaze held a bit more disgust as she looked at Theodora. "I can pay for it myself."Theodora's expression shifted slightly at her words. "But you don't have any money, do you?"Cheryl looked at Theodora questioningly. "Aunt Theodora, I don't believe I mentioned having no money. How did you come to that conclusion?"Theodora's expression shifted at her words, but she quickly made an excuse. "Oh, I didn't see you taking your card out, so I thought you didn't bring any money with you.""Mrs. Hackett Senior already gave me a
