Bogus Billionaire Chapter 122
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

Caroline waited for her blush to disappear before looking back at Kirk. She asked, "Have you heard what happened to Brie?" She didn't believe that Kirk would torture Brie to the brink of death. He didn't have what it took."Yeah," Kirk said casually."Who do you think did it?""I don't know." Kirk remained impassive."How did you get out of the hotel that day?" Caroline asked. Brie had so many bodyguards with her. It was impossible for Kirk to leave that place unscathed."The bodyguards had already collapsed after I arrived." Kirk wasn't exactly lying.Caroline stroked her chin, lost in thought. "That means there was another group of people that day. Could they be responsible for what happened to Brie?"Kirk held Caroline's hand. "Don't think about it too much.""I'm just afraid …" Caroline looked up at Kirk tearfully. Kirk's heart melted instantly, and he held Caroline in his arms, saying softly, "Are you afraid that the Collins family will direct their anger on me if th

Eddy walked in just as Howard was leaving angrily. He asked, "Grandpa, what's with him?"Jude sighed and questioned, "How's the investigation going for Brie's case?""No updates. The surveillance cameras at Saint Pierre Grand Hotel were all destroyed."Jude mused, "Who had the audacity to hurt Brie Collins?"Eddy frowned and went over to whisper to him, "Grandpa, I think Caroline's husband is highly suspicious. The case at the Saint Pierre Grand Hotel was similar to my prior investigation into him—the surveillance cameras were destroyed and the witnesses went missing. "But if her husband is the culprit, he must be a rather powerful figure."Jude stood up with his walking stick. "If he's bold enough to harm the Collins family, he must be more powerful than them. In Easton, there is only one family …"He suddenly paused. Eddy waited for an answer. "Grandpa?"Jude's eyes sparkled. "Why didn't I think of him?""Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Eddy was confused.Jude look

Kirk threw all the business cards he'd received away. "No.""You're lying," Caroline accused him with a tiny smile.He tilted his head and stared at her. She quickly wiped off her smile. "What?""Are you jealous?" He smirked at her.Her face was as red as a tomato. She denied it, saying, "No."At that moment, a man in a black suit jogged toward them. He nodded at Kirk and spoke fluent Celonish.Since Caroline had been sent abroad when she'd been eight years old, she was fluent in Celonish. However, it took her some time to figure out what the man was saying because of his thick accent. It turned out that Kirk's family had sent him here to pick them up. A car was parked across the airport. She followed the man's gaze, and her eyes landed on a Rolls-Royce. She was startled.Kirk was similarly surprised to see the car. They followed the man to the car, which confirmed Caroline's guess. "Is this your family's car?"Kirk acted normal. "No, they rented it. My dad has a big ego,

Ivan enthusiastically introduced the strangers to Caroline. "These are Kirk's childhood friends. They came here just to meet him. Avery, Bryan, this is Kirk's wife, Caroline."The young man introduced himself. "Hi, Caroline. I'm Bryan Mendeley. This is my sister Avery."Caroline reached out to shake Bryan's hand before looking at Avery Mendeley. It only took Avery a moment to shake her hand with a wide smile. "I couldn't believe that Kirk's married! I thought you were …"She lifted a brow and examined Caroline with her alluring eyes. "Caroline, you're pretty. No wonder Kirk was in a hurry to marry you."Although Caroline was receiving compliments, she felt like Avery was throwing shade at her. She looked at Kirk.He nodded at the two as a curt greeting."You guys must be hungry. Right?" Ivan gave Caroline his full attention. "Come, Caroline. Let's eat at the dining hall."Caroline was led into the dining hall. Her favorite food was served on the table.Ivan explained, "Kirk r

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
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 1395
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
