Bogus Billionaire Chapter 178
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

Kirk didn't answer Caroline's question. Instead, he gestured with his chin. "The car's here."It was then that Caroline noticed it was past 9 am.She hurriedly shoved a slice of bread into her mouth. "I'm leaving."Even after Caroline got into the car, her mind was still filled with what Kirk had said. Corvin had spent the past few days frantically looking for Vithalian pizza.Caroline pursed her lips.When she arrived at the design department, she felt like everyone was looking at her strangely.They looked as though they were taking pleasure in her misfortune. It was as if something big had happened.After Caroline walked into her office, she called Cheryl over.The second Cheryl came in, she quickly said, "Caroline, we're in trouble.""What is it?""Just now I heard them say that Corvin French is here.""Oh?" Caroline raised an eyebrow. "Then where is he now?""He just left. Apparently, Vivian got him to come here. Plus, he's already looked at her design and praised it.

Jules was afraid that his boss would be unhappy if Caroline lost."Ms. Evans, you mean …""It's nothing. I'm heading to the cafeteria now."After saying that, Caroline hung up the phone.As he held onto his phone, Jules suddenly felt like he was holding a hot potato instead.Why was such a horrible idea suggested anyway? It was an awful plan to let Caroline and Vivian compete against each other.Now look what was happening. It seemed like Caroline had lost, and he would have to give up his position as president.…The news of Caroline cooking in the company kitchen quickly spread to the company chat group.For a moment, she became the whole company's target of mockery."Is she giving up on herself after finding out that she lost?""I have no words at all. Is she here to work or to cook? If she loves cooking so much, she should have interviewed to become a cook from the start.""She's just a useless bimbo who only thinks about falling in love. A good opportunity fell into he

Caroline became amused at the look on the man's face. "Really?" she asked."Why would I lie?"Caroline was relieved. She packed up a portion of the pizza and gave the rest to the cafeteria's staff.Watching Caroline leave, the staff went over to the cook, who had tried the pizza. "Hey, this design director doesn't seem as … useless as the others say. At least she seems quite talented when it comes to cooking."The man looked at Caroline's retreating figure and smiled sunnily."Do you think a normal person could handle a picky man like Eddy Morrison?"He said this so quietly that the others didn't hear it.…Armed with her pizza, Caroline headed to the hotel where Corvin was staying.The company had arranged this hotel for him. So after informing the staff of her identity, Caroline had no trouble getting through. Soon, she arrived at the door to Corvin's hotel room.She knocked on the door.It swung open.At the sight of Kirk standing there, Caroline got a huge shock.She

Corvin was behaving mysteriously. "Do you really not know that girl?"Kirk turned his phone in circles in his hand. Then, he sat back down and pillowed his head on both palms. "Depends on how you define 'know.'"Corvin said, "I think there's something different about the way you look at her. Honestly, are you two dating? Did you come here to put in a good word for her? "There are some things I need to clarify. It's not that I won't help out my friends. But I've always been a fair person. Even if you put in a word for her, I won't help."Kirk smiled. "But I didn't mention a word of the competition tomorrow."Corvin asked, "You're really not here to help that girl out?""No."Corvin finally relaxed. "And you don't know each other?"Kirk didn't say a word.Corvin took this response as an admission. He put a hand against his chest. "I thought you liked her too. But now that I think about it, how could a workaholic possibly have someone he likes? Alright, there's nothing else no

"I'm sorry. I got too invested in work and forgot about the time."Jack quickly replied, "Miss, please don't say that. I'm not entitled to an explanation. Please, do get in the car."Cheryl stood to the side and watched as Jack opened the door for Caroline. Then, she regarded the interior of the car and felt great admiration. She said lowly to Caroline, "Caroline, your family treats you so well. They even prepared a car just to take you places."Cheryl's mention of family was like a knife stabbing into Caroline's heart.Caroline lowered her head, hiding the hurt in her eyes. "It's not an arrangement by my family. It's by the company."Cheryl was taken aback. "The company? Then why don't the other directors get such treatment?"From what she'd seen, all the other directors drove themselves to and from work.Caroline was stunned. "What did you say?"They were speaking so quietly that Jack couldn't hear it from the front seat. Jack kept his focus on driving."I said …" Cheryl b

Kirk's nose was at Caroline's collarbones. He sniffed her familiar scent. But all that came to his mind were all the things Sarah had done to Caroline during this time.He couldn't imagine how Caroline's small, fragile body would handle her parents' betrayal.Kirk hugged Caroline even tighter. "It's nothing. I just want to hug you."Caroline felt her heartstrings being plucked and trembled minutely.She allowed Kirk to hold her. All was quiet around them. It seemed as though there were an invisible ribbon tying their hearts together.As she listened to Kirk's heartbeat, Caroline started to feel sleepy.Suddenly, a coldness spread from her collarbone. Caroline got a fright, and whatever sleepiness she felt disappeared without a trace.She opened her eyes wide and saw Kirk biting her collarbone, sucking gently."Are you a dog?"Caroline really didn't know what to do with him.Kirk looked up and touched the pretty red mark on Caroline's collarbone. "From now on, you're min

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
