Meanwhile, Kirk was in his ward.Sean had to stop talking for the tenth time. "Kirk, why don't we stop talking about the dark web and talk about you and Caroline first?"When Kirk heard Caroline's name, he returned to his senses. "Carrie? Where is she?"Sean looked at him, dumbfounded. "Kirk, I'm not talking about Caroline at all. I'm talking to you about the dark web. Do you want to recruit these people or not?""What do you think?""Then, be serious. I've already told you about Nightshade's information three times. Tell me, do you remember anything?"Kirk was a little impatient. "I'm not in the mood. Let's talk about this later.""You should have said so sooner." Sean pushed the documents away. "Tell me, how do you feel?"Kirk looked puzzled. "About what?""You and Caroline!" Sean wanted to pick Kirk's brain and see what he was thinking. "Although Caroline is more or less ignoring you, at least things aren't tense when you both are in the same room."To be honest, things be

"Nightshade is someone on the dark web that many people want to recruit. There's a saying that as long as you win over the top three fighters on the dark web, you have the world in the palm of your hands. Nightshade is ranked third."But it's said that the top three fighters have a feud. It'll just be a fantasy to recruit them all. But we don't want the world in the palm of our hands, so we just need to win Nightshade over. That'll be enough to give Thomas a run for his money."Kirk finished reading Nightshade's information."He accepts jobs on a whim and only seems to take one job every year.""Yes." Sean turned over another page before saying, "He has completed a job this year."Kirk's expression shifted slightly. "Then, why are we still looking for him?""We don't have a choice. There's no word about the top two fighters. We have no way to find them. But at least we have someone who knows Nightshade. ""Who?""Anthony."Kirk asked, "He knows Nightshade?""I can't say Antho
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 1230
When Cheryl returned to the Hacketts' residence, she felt as though something wasn't quite right. As she walked to the living room, she finally understood why she felt like that.There were guests at home, and there were more than one. Theodora and Moira were there. The Hackett family members from the other branches were also there, as well as the family elders.The situation mirrored the one at the family chapel. Only the location was different.Cheryl took a deep breath. After she had gone to see Caroline, she had a feeling this would happen, so she wasn't too surprised. She just hadn't expected them to visit her so soon."You're finally home, are you?" Moira said strangely as soon as Cheryl came in. Cheryl didn't know if it was an illusion, but she thought Moira sounded particularly tough, as if someone was supporting her behind the scenes."Mr. and Mrs. Hackett Senior, I'm home." Cheryl ignored Moira and greeted Aiden and Selena.Aiden and Selena looked very unhappy, but th

The elder said unhappily, "She clearly did something wrong, but she's still unapologetic about it. I've already told you. Country bumpkins like her are uneducated.""It doesn't matter if she's uneducated. You can just educate her. But the most terrifying thing is that she lacks common sense," Theodora said worriedly.She continued, "After what happened last time, the Hacketts and the Evans Group are already adversaries, but what did she do? She doesn't have a single amount of tact and still hangs out with Caroline all day. Maybe she sold our company's secrets long ago, and she doesn't even know it!"When Selena heard her words, she was displeased. "What do you mean by that, Theodora?""Oh, I'm just rambling. Don't take my words to heart.""Even if you are, I think this is very likely." The elder in the middle said sternly, "She's often with Caroline. Who knows? She might have told her our company's secrets!""No way." Aiden said firmly, "Cheryl wouldn't betray our family. Before

The family elders were furious. "Aiden! What are you saying? You're going to redistribute our shares just because we suspected your daughter might've betrayed our company? I'm telling you—you don't have that right!""I do! I'm the head of this family!" Aiden retorted. "I can buy your shares out of consideration for our company's future!""We won't sell them to you!""That's right! We won't!""That won't be up to you when the time comes!" Aiden looked at them without any intention of backing down. At that moment, the family elders knew he wasn't joking. Since Aiden was able to become the head of the Hackett family, he was no pushover. If they upset him, he could forcefully buy their shares. They could get a lot of money if he did, but what about their children and grandchildren?If they left the company, they would be getting further and further away from the center of power, and their dreams of their descendants becoming the head of their family would be impossible."Enough

Cheryl pursed her lips.Noticing her refusal to answer, Aiden said, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. All right, it's getting late. It's time for us to get some rest. You should get some rest as well!"As Cheryl watched Aiden and Selena leave, she felt a wave of disappointment from him for some reason. It wasn't that she didn't want to answer him, but she didn't know how to. If word about what happened got out, it would cause a buzz in Easton. The future heir of the largest family in the country was dead. That revelation would cause an uproar anywhere else.Aiden probably wouldn't believe it if she told him. He might even think Caroline was bluffing.After entering their room, Selena could tell that Aiden was upset. She gently rubbed his back. "What's wrong? Are you still sad that our daughter didn't answer your question?"Aiden shook his head. "No.""No? We've been married for so many years. I know you very well," Selena replied. "Hey, don't be sad. After all, Cheryl d

Cheryl stood by the door. When she heard Aiden and Selena's conversation, she felt her heart breaking. She originally wanted to return to her room, but after hesitating for a moment, she walked downstairs instead.When she was growing up, her adoptive parents had always focused on Joshua. They barely paid attention to her. So, as a child, she strived to get first in exams and score full scores.Even so, her adoptive parents still wouldn't notice her. Sometimes, she even discovered that they were unhappy when she'd come first.At that time, she didn't know that it was because she wasn't their biological daughter that they reacted that way. She had thought it was because of their village's patriarchal culture that they believed it didn't matter if a girl was capable.Cheryl began to worry about not being able to go to school, so she studied even harder. In particular, she scored first in every exam that offered scholarships during high school, and she began to save money in secre

"That's not what I meant!" Cheryl stared at Joshua warily. "I'm asking how you got in here!"The Hacketts' residence's security was airtight. There was no way Joshua broke in."Of course, the Hackett family members brought me here." Joshua sat down on another swing. It was as if he owned the place and no one else was around. "You're living the good life, Cheryl! How many lifetimes do I have to work to get a life like yours? It must be fun being part of a rich family!"Cheryl glared at Joshua. "If you don't leave, I'll call security!""Don't do that!" Joshua was very calm and wasn't frightened by Cheryl's threat in the slightest. He even smiled at her. "Cheryl, did you know? Since you left, I haven't been able to eat or sleep. All I wanted to do was to see you."Cheryl was very disgusted by his words. She was about to take out her phone to call someone when Joshua said, "Actually, I was relieved after knowing you're not my sister."Cheryl looked at him. "What do you mean by that?"
