Bogus Billionaire Chapter 172
Caroline was distracted all morning. Her mind was filled with the image of Kirk's scratched-up abdomen.She had reason to believe that Kirk had been seducing her. He was probably trying to dumb her down by tempting her and making her forget why they were fighting.She had to admit that his plan was quite successful.She really couldn't hold off much longer.Just as she was about to let her mind run wild, she saw Cheryl walking past the door, seemingly in a daze. In the beginning, Caroline didn't find anything weird about it. But after Cheryl walked past, she sensed something amiss. "Cheryl."A few seconds later, Cheryl appeared at her door, looking distracted. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her hair stuck to her face wetly. She looked to be in a ghastly state."What happened?"Cheryl lowered her head and thinned her lips. She dared not say a word.Caroline stood up, her hands supported on the table. "Answer me!"Caroline had a commanding air about her, and it scared Cheryl.

Vivian hadn't been prepared for this at all. After a long time, she closed her eyes and wiped the water away.A second later, she raised her hand to give Caroline a slap.Caroline caught her wrist and mocked coldly, "Didn't you say not to make mountains out of molehills, Ms. Patterson?"Vivian's rage was stuck in her throat. She could neither suppress nor express it. It was so frustrating that Vivian wanted to explode. She gnashed her teeth. "Caroline Evans!"Caroline grinned. She turned and addressed the crowd. "As long as I'm still in the design department, I won't allow any bullying. If something like this happens again, you better resign on your own. Otherwise, I will write a detailed explanation about it on your dismissal report!"Once she said that, she shot Cheryl a look. "Let's go."Cheryl looked at Caroline in admiration. It wasn't until Caroline had walked away that she snapped out of her trance and followed.In the office, Cheryl said, "You were so cool just now, Ms

Even though Caroline agreed to Jules' ultimatum, it wasn't a rash decision. Caroline was simply confident in herself.She cleaned up her half-finished design and looked at the time. It was time to get off work again.Caroline didn't dally. She went downstairs and clocked out right on time.At the door, she noticed many people's eyes on her.She frowned slightly. The way they looked at her was different from yesterday. Their gazes burned, and it seemed like they were excited for some sort of show.The next second, Caroline spotted the Ferrari at the entrance. It was a fiery red, drawing the attention of everyone who saw it.Something else drew their attention even more. Leaning against the car was a handsome Eddy. He had a chilling air about him.When he saw Caroline, he took large steps forward. His expression never changed."I'm here to pick you up from work."Caroline didn't seem to hear his words. She walked past him and went straight toward Jack.Eddy pulled Caroline
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 175
Yet, Jack's final action seemed undoubtedly like a challenge to Eddy.Eddy clenched his fists. He felt enraged, as though something precious had been stolen from him. It made him open the car door with a slam. He floored the gas pedal.With a loud vroom, the Ferrari shot off like an arrow.Only after the car sped away did the crowd return to themselves.None of them could believe their eyes.They hadn't been dreaming … had they?"Somebody pinch me! Pinch me quick! Did I see that wrong? Did Caroline Evans actually reject Mr. Eddy and get into another man's car?"Amidst the packed throng, Vivian sneered disdainfully.When Susan saw this, she started mocking. "That ruffian just now had to be Caroline's husband, right, Viv? He doesn't look like someone with money or power. It's no wonder she's been hiding him and doesn't even say what her husband does. It's because he's a disgrace."Someone was confused. "From the looks of it, Mr. Eddy was here to pursue Caroline. Why doesn't Caro

Caroline sat opposite Gwen.The shop owner said, "Um …"Caroline took out several hundred dollar bills from her bag. "I'm really sorry about bothering you, sir."The owner accepted the money and didn't feel like he could say anything more. Besides, no other customers were in the shop, and their presence didn't disturb his rest. Thus, he went behind the cashier's counter and played with his phone."You're drunk?" Caroline nudged Gwen.Gwen looked up, acting as if she'd only just spotted Caroline. "Carol, you're here."She looked as she normally did, but Caroline could tell that Gwen was putting on an act."What happened?" Caroline asked in concern.Gwen's eyes stung. She pouted slightly. "N—nothing."She'd seen Sean and some other woman walk into a jewelry store this morning when she'd been buying breakfast.Caroline didn't question her further when she saw that Gwen didn't want to answer. She walked past the fridge and took out a few bottles of beer. "Do you want to drink

Caroline shook her head. "What are you thinking? I'm only giving an example. It's been a few months since I married Kirk, I think. I've met his family too. But for some reason, I feel like the person I know isn't the real him. It's just a persona he's showing me."Gwen replied, "Maybe you'll get to know him more if you spend more time together.""Maybe." Caroline half-heartedly put her hair up. "Enough, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink!"Gwen raised her glass and was about to clink it with Caroline's. But then her gaze fell on Caroline's neck. "Carol, what happened to your neck?"It didn't look like a hickey. On the contrary, it looked like someone had throttled her.Caroline remembered the marks and put her hair back down."It's nothing.""Is Kirk abusing you?" Gwen sprung up as she said this. "I'll kill him!""Calm down." Caroline pulled at Gwen. "It has nothing to do with Kirk. It was Eddy.""Then I'll go look for him!" Gwen grabbed a beer bottle and heade

A long while later, Caroline finally came back to herself and pushed Kirk away. Her voice was softer as she said, "My legs are numb."Kirk stepped back and bent to pick Caroline up. "Then let's go home."Caroline looked at Kirk through the warm yellow streetlights.Kirk's gaze was deep and determined. His eyes were perfect.If she had met Kirk before Eddy, she would have surely fallen for him.She would have sacrificed everything for him without regret, just as she had eight years ago.But she wasn't that person anymore.She wasn't the same brave girl as eight years ago.She leaned her head gently into Kirk's embrace, silently listening to his strong heartbeat. She didn't want to think about the future.At least this moment was real.Since Caroline had a few drinks, she fell asleep as soon as she got home. Kirk carried her to the master bedroom on the second floor.By the time he covered her with a blanket, the red marks on her neck had faded. Still, Kirk's heart tightened

Gwen looked at Sean and saw how he seemed to be carefully trying to get on her good side. She felt displeased. "I'm not that difficult."As she said this, Gwen tossed the pills into her mouth. Then, she picked up the glass of water and drank it all.Sean watched this silently. Once Gwen was done, she smiled."I laid out the bed for you …""Hold it!" Gwen got up and said casually, "Sean, about what happened last time. It was a unique occurrence. You're Kirk's friend, and I'm Caroline's friend. There's no avoiding some interaction between us. Let's use this opportunity to work this out."Sean was taken aback. "How do you want to settle it?""Let's pretend it never happened." Seeing Sean pause, Gwen patted his shoulder in a chummy manner. "You're not looking for me to take responsibility, are you?"When she said this, their eyes met. It seemed as though a spark of electricity had traveled between them.Gwen quickly looked away. Her voice was small as she said, "Please, it's th

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
