Bogus Billionaire Chapter 137
Kirk's heart missed a beat. One of his hands was still placed against the door as he asked, "What happened?" Henry then briefed him about what had happened before.Kirk fell silent afterward, unsettling Henry. "Mr. Kirk, did I do something wrong?" "You've done a good job." Kirk assured Henry, despite the gloom in his eyes. "You'll be the new owner of this hotel starting tomorrow." Henry's eyes turned as wide as saucers when he heard that. He stared in a daze at the closed door before him, flabbergasted. He was merely one of the staff there. How did he just turn into its boss all of a sudden? In the room, Kirk carefully took off Caroline's shoes. Once her feet were bare, he finally saw the cuts and blisters on the bottom of her feet. His eyes widened in shock.After taking out the bottle of ointment from the bag that Henry gave him, he started to slowly and gently apply the ointment. Only after he was done with both her feet did he pat her cheeks to arouse her from her

A chill ran up Avery's spine, but she still pretended to be clueless. "Kirk, what are you trying to tell me? Don't beat around the bush." "I've given you a chance." Kirk's voice was dangerously low. "If it hadn't been for your parents, I wouldn't even be here to talk to you." "I get it now." Avery smiled bitterly at him. "After everything, you're saying that I was the one who told them to do it, right?" Kirk stared at her unblinkingly. "Isn't that so?" The smile on her face became brighter, yet her voice was laced with bitterness. "I don't understand why you'd think that way. Yes, I love you, but why would I hurt Caroline? Even if I did, you wouldn't come back to me. Besides, there will always be people who like to abuse others for no particular reason." "They are my friends," she continued to spin her lies. "But I don't need to do whatever they do. If you want to blame me, the only thing I've done wrong was bring Caroline here. Something like that wouldn't have happen
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 139
Caroline toyed with a roly-poly in the living room. When she looked at Kirk, he was staring back at her. It was as though they were telepathic. She tossed him a smile. Kirk swallowed before finally speaking into the phone. "I'll ask Carrie about it." "Okay." Ivan finally heaved a sigh of relief. After ending the call, he went back to the living room. Avery's parents were there. As Ivan returned, they asked him, "Ivan, what did Kirk say?""I told him to ask Caroline what she thinks of this." Still, Avery's parents didn't relent. Instead, their faces were full of worry when they spoke. "Ivan, we're so sorry about this. Avery didn't know that something like this would happen either." Ivan waved a hand in the air to dismiss it. "Enough talk about that. What's important is that Caroline and Kirk are okay now." His words made the Mendeley couple feel even more guilty. They glanced at Avery beside them, but they didn't have it in them to reprimand her. She was their own daught
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 140
They decided to meet for dinner and made a reservation at a high-end hotel. Avery and her parents—Adam Mendeley and Lia Brooke—were the first to arrive, followed by Kirk and Caroline. Ivan wasn't feeling well, so he didn't join them. The moment Caroline and Kirk entered the private room, the Mendeleys stood up from their seats and looked at Kirk with anxious eyes. Avery was the first to speak, and her words directed everyone's attention to Caroline. "I'm sorry, Caroline."Caroline tossed her a bright smile. "Don't apologize to me yet. I don't even know why you're apologizing." The expression on Adam's and Lia's faces changed slightly. They glanced at each other, as though silently agreeing that Caroline wouldn't be easy to deal with. Yet Avery had mentally prepared herself for this. She maintained a smile on her face and explained, "I was the one who invited you to the party. Even though the incident had nothing to do with me, you wouldn't have been hurt if I didn't ask you

Avery grinned, still covering her burning cheek. "You've finally shown your true colors. I will show Kirk how much of a vixen you really are." Caroline crossed her arms. "He knows what kind of person I am better than you. I'm just taking a page out of your book on being a two-faced crude."Avery took a deep breath. "You have a really accurate judgment of yourself." Then, she added, "At the end of the day, you're just suspecting that I'm involved in what happened at the swimming pool. But you don't have any proof, do you? Like I said, I'm not stupid enough to do something like this and make Kirk hate me."Caroline glared at Avery. If Avery was involved in the swimming pool incident, she was indeed terrifying. She was completely different from Layla, who usually played the innocent victim. Avery was intelligent and meticulous. She didn't leave any loose ends when she did something. However …A smile played on Caroline's lips. There would always be a trail, and Avery would ev

"It's all right." Caroline smiled. After watching him enter the hotel, she turned to look at Kirk again. Kirk was still talking on the phone.Caroline scrolled through her phone for about five minutes before she felt a large hand wrap around her waist.Kirk asked, "Did you wait long?"Caroline looked up at him and said, "Nope. Are we going home now?""Yeah," Kirk said.Caroline asked, "What about Dad?"Kirk paused momentarily before replying, "He's still at the Mendeley Residence.""Should we take him home with us?"Caressing Caroline's slender waist, Kirk replied, "He just wants some grandchildren, so he wouldn't want to come home." As he spoke, he hugged Caroline. "Let's have a baby." He'd initially thought that he could wait, but he couldn't anymore. He wanted a child with Caroline, one that belonged to them alone. It was the only way to leave his mark on her.Seeing the tenderness swirling in Kirk's gaze, Caroline was tempted, but she remained rational. She said, "We'l

Caroline felt heat quickly spreading throughout her body. Feeling flustered, she asked, "Why are you being so indecent when I'm asking you a serious question?"Gwen covered her mouth and teased, saying, "I am being serious. Trust me, this method works every time. You'll definitely thank me after you try it."Caroline was dumbfounded.Gwen smiled merrily as Caroline hung up the phone quickly. But her joy vanished immediately afterward. She thought, "My dear friend …"Just as she was brooding, she saw a message from Sean. It read, "Are you free for dinner tonight?"Gwen froze. She hesitated for a moment, then closed the app immediately. She hadn't seen Sean since they had slept together last time. He seemed to be fine and would ask her out for dinner from time to time as if nothing had happened.Gwen was furious. Why was she losing her mind while he had completely forgotten about it? But it wasn't like she could just barge into his home and scold him. That would show that she c

The next day, Caroline woke up with a sore back. Still, she went to Fableland with Kirk. She thought they had to queue up, but when she went inside, she discovered that there was no one else except the staff."Why … aren't there any tourists?" Caroline murmured. She had been to Fableland in Easton a few times, and it would always be crowded with people. However, this place was uncharacteristically quiet and deserted. Not only that, but every staff member also smiled at them as if they were VIPs.Kirk coughed lightly. "Maybe we came too early. Where do you want to go first?"Caroline unfolded the theme park map and pointed to one of the places. "Let's go here."Kirk glanced at where Caroline had pointed and saw the words "Battle for the Underwater Treasure" written on the map. "All right. I'll go make a call.""Okay." Caroline nodded. She waited where she was. After a while, Kirk returned. "Let's go."Battle for the Underwater Treasure was Fableland's most popular exhibit. I

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
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 1392
"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
