"This is for you," Kirk said. Their marriage was a contractual one. There was nothing besides a marriage certificate to prove it. However, after spending time with Caroline for the past few days, Kirk felt that he did not treat her well enough. So now, he was giving her a small gift. Caroline accepted the box and opened it carefully. She was stunned at what she saw; in the box sat an emerald bracelet with a bluish-green hue to it. She knew it was a prized emerald just by looking at it. It was cold and comfortable to the touch, and Caroline loved it. However, when she thought of its price …"This must cost a fortune. It's better if you'd return it," she said with reluctance. "It's not expensive." Kirk plucked the bracelet from Caroline's hands and helped her to put it on. It fit snugly and perfectly on her wrist. Her wrist was slender as it was, and the bracelet gave her an air of exquisiteness. Kirk could not help but stare at her. But then, Caroline became anxious and started

In the store, a woman in an elaborate dress sat at the counter trying on different bracelets. Gwen saw her and, disgusted, she exclaimed, "It's Brie Collins!" Caroline's hands balled into fists immediately.The Collinses had devised the downfall of the Evanses many years ago. After that, the Collinses took over her family's place as one of the four most influential families in the city. However, they were different from the other families with considerable lineage because, being nouveau riche, they did not have concrete support or power. So others often criticized them, notably after Caroline returned to the country.As the heiress of the Morrisons, Caroline had gone through rigorous etiquette training since birth. Regardless of the size of any event, she always appeared elegant and poised. However, the children of the Collins family were different and often made a fool of themselves in the eyes of the media. Even Brie Collins, the favorite daughter of Howard Collins—the head of th

Caroline smiled and held Gwen's hands gently in hers. "I believe in him!" she said. This was not only a bet with Brie but also a bet on Kirk. This time, she would see whether her hopes were placed on the right person. With the help of the shopkeeper, Caroline finally managed to take the bracelet off. Mr. York had finally arrived too. He put on some gloves, gently took the bracelet in his hands, and inspected it thoroughly. As they looked on, Brie muttered gleefully, "Caroline Evans, you're going broke today." Caroline ignored her and kept her eyes on Mr. York. After a moment, he put down the bracelet. His eyebrows were knitted together tightly. Hastily, Caroline asked, "Mr. York, is something wrong?" The appraiser was silent. Brie sauntered to the counter. "Mr. York, you're a professional in this field. Tell us the truth if it's counterfeit. You shouldn't keep quiet just because she's supposed to marry Eddy Morrison. Mr. York wore a stern expression. "That's not it, Ms. Collins

Once again, Gwen's imagination rendered Caroline speechless. "If he truly is some rich man's son, why would he marry me so quickly?" Gwen scratched her head, searching for an answer that never came to her. Caroline smiled, amused. "Fine. I'll ask him about it when I go back home. Then we'll get our answer." "Oh, right," Gwen said, beaming. After the two of them said goodbye, Caroline gave Kirk a call. "Let's have dinner together tonight." Even though they were married, they stayed in their respective homes. Strictly speaking, they had never even had lunch or dinner together. "Sure," Kirk replied, the corner of his lips already tilting upward in a smile. "Well then, come to my house. What do you want for dinner? I'll go buy the ingredients to make it." "Just cook something you like." Eddy's face suddenly popped into her mind. Whenever she made dinner for him over the past eight years, he would always list out the dishes that he wanted. He never asked her about the food she l
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 19
"It proves just how good he is at his job. So, what did you make for us today?" Kirk changed the topic so flawlessly that Caroline did not notice it and went ahead introducing the food she made. Kirk volunteered to do the dishes after enjoying the scrumptious food she prepared. Caroline had nothing to do, so she took out her computer and searched for a movie to watch. She picked a comedy and completely forgot that another human being was present in her home as she indulged herself in the movie. When Kirk emerged from the kitchen, he was greeted by the sight of Caroline sitting on the carpet in an unladylike fashion, laughing her head off. In that instant, she did not look like the elegant and poised Ms. Evans that she usually appeared to be. Abruptly, Kirk was reminded of the time when Caroline was still Eddy Morrison's fiancée. He once flipped through an album of young Caroline attending events held by the Morrisons. She had always looked prim and proper in those pictures, as th

"Why don't you spend your time being a pushy parent on improving yourself instead?" Sarah recognized Kirk's voice right away. Raising her voice, she said, "My family's affairs are none of your business! Where are you two? Don't you dare tell me you're at Caroline's!""Don't you worry." Kirk had a bad impression of his mother-in-law. His voice dripped with bitterness. "If Caroline's your daughter, stop telling her to marry Eddy Morrison. She doesn't like hearing it, and neither do I." Sarah snorted derisively. "How dare you compare yourself with Eddy. He's the most influential figure in Osbury. In Easton, no one could—" Kirk hung up instantly. Caroline noticed his pursed lips and thought that he had gotten pissed off again. This time though, she was not afraid of him. On the contrary, she felt something warm spread in her chest. "Thank you," she said. Kirk looked up from the phone and was met with her clear, pristine gaze. He wanted to say something, but the words lodged in hi

Caroline was thunderstruck. "How can the company still be so intertwined with Morrison Corporation after so many years of in the business?" She had always thought the Evans Group had long since broken free from Morrison Corp's influence. Even if they had help from Morrison Corp, it was just the occasional business deal recommendation. Dan's face became flushed. The Evans Group had indeed contemplated becoming independent of Morrison Corporation, but the competition was too fierce. If they lost Morrison Corp's support, it would already be a miracle if they didn't suffer a loss. Earning money would be out of the question. Caroline let out an abrupt laugh. No wonder her father was so determined to kiss up to those big guns."Carrie, I don't want it to be this way either. Only you can save me now. I'm sure you wouldn't want the Evans family to be ruined either, would you?" Caroline said through her tears, "So you're willing to sacrifice me for the family?" Dan dared not meet her gaz

Without even looking up, Eddy said, "You should be at City Hall right now." Caroline took a deep breath and sat down opposite him. "I won't divorce if you're going to divest," she said. Eddy looked up and smiled. "Caroline, do you know what you're saying?""Of course I am," said Caroline calmly. "I only found out today that the Evans family is only still standing on its feet thanks to the Morrison family's support. It's indeed reasonable for you to ask for one of my kidneys." She lowered her head and her red lips formed a smile. "But, if you want me to die so that you can be with Layla, that's too much."Eddy frowned. "Caroline, don't put words in my mouth. When did I say I wanted you to die—" Caroline waved a hand and cut him off. "The money spent on the Evans Group is yours. There's nothing wrong with you wanting to divest, but at least give my family a chance to do something about it. I've done the math. As long as the company has 50 million in its accounts, that will be eno

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
