Bogus Billionaire Chapter 118
When Caroline arrived downstairs, she called Gwen, asking if she wanted to go shopping for gifts together.On the other end of the line, Gwen mumbled, "I have to work overtime today, so I can't come with you, Carol."Caroline replied, "It's okay. Go ahead and work." After hanging up the phone, she looked up nearby places where she could buy gifts. By the time she was done buying and wrapping the gifts, it was already evening.The store did home deliveries, so Caroline gave the staff her address. Then, after checking the time, she was about to call Kirk when her phone rang. Caroline's eyes turned cold when she saw the caller ID. She answered it after some hesitation."Carol." Sarah asked flatteringly, "Are you free?"Caroline answered coldly, "No."Sarah explained diffidently, "Layla knows she's at fault for what happened at the competition. She wants to treat you to dinner and apologize. Carrie, you should forgive when you can. Do it for me …"Caroline refused without hesita

"Stop!" Caroline cried out, feeling the coldness of the hands gripping her. "I'll do it! I'll call him!"Upon seeing this, the two bodyguards looked at each other, unenthused. Then, they left the room unhappily.After finding out that Caroline had finally agreed to make the call, Brie walked into the room triumphantly. With a bright smile, she looked at Caroline, whose clothes had been torn into tatters. "See? You should've agreed sooner. Give her the phone."Caroline hugged herself tightly and didn't take the phone the bodyguard handed her."What's wrong? Did you change your mind?"Caroline sniffled. She looked at Brie, asking, "At least let me wear some clothes.""You're not trying to stall, are you?" Brie scoffed. "This is my family's territory. Never mind your husband; even Eddy would have a lot of trouble getting here. There's no point in stalling."Caroline smiled coldly, tears still in her eyes. "I just want some clothes. What are you afraid of?""Fine." Brie didn't ha

The hospital staff took Caroline to the operating room. Kirk wanted to follow her in, but Sean stopped him."Kirk." Sean tried to calm his friend down. "Caroline will be fine."Kirk looked back at him. His eyes were still red from anger, which made him look terrifying. Despite being his longtime friend, Sean was also a little scared of him. He knew Kirk too well. He was always calm and composed; he'd never lose his composure unless someone hit his trigger. Without him realizing it, Caroline had become his soft spot at some point. It seemed like Kirk himself didn't know about that."How is Carol?" Gwen asked Sean as soon as she arrived. She'd rushed to the hospital as soon as she'd heard what had happened. Sean glanced at Kirk, then looked at Gwen and answered, "She just went into the operating room.""Which bastard did this to her?" Gwen growled.Sean said, "Brie.""That fucking bitch!" Gwen turned around and was about to leave.Sean stopped her. "Where are you going?"

Kirk hugged Caroline. They held each other close, their hearts beating as one.His minty scent filled Caroline's nostrils, and she felt her cheeks turning warm. Then, she suddenly thought of something and anxiously touched Kirk's body. She asked, "Are you hurt? Brie's bodyguards didn't hurt you, did they?"Kirk felt his body heat up from her touch. He had no choice but to hold Caroline's hands, his voice low and hoarse. "I'm fine, but if you keep touching me, I can't guarantee I won't do anything."When Caroline heard his words, she froze. She didn't realize he'd tricked her until she heard his cheerful laugh. She weakly punched Kirk's chest.Kirk held her fist and placed a kiss on her fingers. "You'd better not go back on your word, Caroline.""What?""About being with me," Kirk said.Caroline's face turned red again. "Who said I wanted to be with you?"Kirk happily pecked Caroline on the lips. "You tease."Caroline was so shy that she didn't know what to do. "Kirk, you scu

Although the big four families were at odds with each other, they had to see each other whenever something happened.Layla's face turned pale. "How did this happen?"Caroline should have been the one who'd disappeared, not Brie."I'm not sure. I'll head over there," Eddy said. Then, he quickly left, leaving behind a panicking Layla.When Eddy arrived at the Collins family's home, he discovered Brie's situation was far more severe than Jude had described. Disheveled, she was lying on the bed as if she'd been tortured. Her entire body, especially her face, was covered in bruises to the point where no part of her was unharmed. She was muttering something, but her voice was so soft that no one could hear what she was saying.Howard was heartbroken when he saw his daughter like this."Did you find out who did this to her?" Eddy asked.Howard shook his head in distress. "No. I couldn't find anything!""What about Brie? Doesn't she know who did this to her?"Howard raised his hea

Caroline was taken aback. The amount of information in Gwen's words was a lot to process. For a while, she didn't know what to say or ask. After a while, she stammered, "Y—you guys prepared for a surprise proposal at a restaurant?""Yeah!" Gwen said regretfully, "It's probably all gone now. After all, we don't own the restaurant. It's a pity. I didn't get to take pictures and capture the moment."Caroline felt regretful as well. After a while, she pulled herself together and asked, "I passed out when Kirk arrived at the hotel. Do you know what happened after that?""I wasn't with him, so I don't know."Caroline asked worriedly, "Are the public talking about this?" Kirk had left the hotel unharmed and taken her away. There was no way Brie would give up after this."No." Gwen took Caroline's hand. "Don't worry, Carol. If Brie dares to cause any more trouble, we'll let Mr. Morrison Senior handle this.""Don't. Grandpa is old and in poor health," Caroline refused. "We'd better no

Eddy's expression darkened. He snarled, "Gwen!"Gwen said with contempt, "What's wrong? Did she expect to escape unscathed after kidnapping Caroline and dragging her to Saint Pierre Grand Hotel?""What did you say?" Eddy was utterly confused.Caroline looked at the foolish Eddy, who seemed to always come and question her whenever something happened. "Mr. Eddy, please get the details right before you start pointing fingers. I have no idea why Brie was beaten up. If you have proof that I was behind this, feel free to show it to the police.""Hear that?" Gwen giddily watched Eddy's face turn livid. "Also, Carol is married …" She picked up Caroline's hand, waving the diamond ring right in front of him."You've got to stop looking for Caroline every chance you get. Even if you're not afraid of being misunderstood, I'm worried people would call Carol a philanderer."Eddy's expression turned even darker. "Caroline, you're becoming really cruel. Even if you had nothing to do with wha

In the elevator, Eddy complained, "She's really ungrateful. Her husband acted out and caused a big problem for the Collins family. "I came all the way here to warn her, but she didn't appreciate my goodwill at all. Her best friend even showed off the ring Caroline's husband gave her."At the mention of that ring, Eddy said dismissively, "It's just a ring. I can buy a dozen of them." He was sure that the ring Caroline's husband had bought was just a piece of junk.Kirk raised an eyebrow, remaining calm.Eddy wasn't expecting Kirk to agree with him, so he continued, "She's just trying to show off her relationship. If her husband really loves her, why didn't I see him when I was in her room?" Eddy said resentfully, feeling bitterness well up in his heart, "Just you wait. After a while, she'll definitely beg Grandpa for help. We'll see if she's still arrogant when the time comes."Kirk finally spoke up. "Why?""Think about it." Eddy beamed. "Brie is Howard's precious daughter, a

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
