Bogus Billionaire Chapter 197
Gwen wanted to flee, but she knew that she'd give herself away by doing so. With a reluctant heart, she walked behind Caroline. Lowering her voice, she asked, "Why is he here?"A soft smile hung on Caroline's face. She pursed her lips and said, "He's kind of pitiful since he doesn't have many friends here in the country."Caroline turned and looked right into Gwen's eyes. "Gwen, are you hiding something from me?" Gwen instantly looked away. "N—no." "Really? Why do I feel like there's something off with you two?""That's not true!" Gwen denied it adamantly. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Sean coming their way, and she straightened her back. He leaned over and grabbed the handle of her luggage. "Give it to me.""No need—" Gwen took a huge step backward, as if he were an electric cable that would electrocute her. Then, she realized that she had overreacted. Hastily, she added, "I can do it on my own." Seeing how awkward Gwen was made Caroline giggle. She told Gwen,

Caroline saw it all and glanced at Kirk with mixed feelings. "We should head upstairs." Not only was her sentence directed at Kirk, but it also served as a signal to Sean. "Mhmm." Kirk hummed as he took the juicer with him. "Let's go."Gwen rushed forth to walk in front of the line, followed by Caroline and Kirk. Sean was the last to follow. When they entered the elevator, he was still busy with his phone. He kept receiving notifications on his phone, and it annoyed Gwen. "Girls these days surely are proactive." Only after she spoke did she realize that her voice had been dripping with sarcasm. Embarrassed, she wished she could find a hole in the ground and bury herself in it. However, Caroline held her hand gently in hers and said, "That's right. The manner of education they receive is much different than it was in our times. It's only natural that we're different." Gwen glanced at Caroline gratefully. Nobody spoke a word afterward. Their rooms were on the third floor, so

Gwen's mother was a rather conservative and old-fashioned woman. Despite the fact that her husband had cheated on her multiple times, she still refused to divorce him. Up until now, their relationship was still stuck in the never-ending cycle of cheating, discovery, filing for divorce, denial, and back again. It had affected Gwen so much that she would always break up with any man she had just started a relationship with. Gwen forced a smile. "You said 'maybe'. I'm not that lucky, and I don't like to be tied to something. I prefer the feeling the chase gives me." Unsure of how to respond, Caroline simply stared at Gwen, who tried her best to put up a strong front. "Stop talking about me." Gwen tried to sound cheerful. "What about you and Kirk? Have you two patched up?" "Mhmm." Caroline hummed and said, "I plan to give it a try." Now, Gwen looked at her with envy in her eyes. "Carol, you're so much braver than me." Caroline smiled softly. "I'm not brave. It's just that I

The gloom on Kirk's face was so apparent that Sean instantly realized his mistake. Hastily, he added, "However, sincerity rules the heart. One day, she just might be so touched and accept the fact that you're one of the Morrisons." In spite of what Sean said, Kirk's expression didn't change for the better. In the end, Sean had to flee from the room to avoid getting beaten to a pulp. "I'm leaving," he said, darting away. When Caroline walked out of the room next door, she saw Sean in the corridor. After entering her room, she asked Kirk, "Was Sean here just now?" Kirk stared at the cherry juice in the juicer and kept quiet. As she approached him, she realized just how unsettling his aura was. "What's wrong?" She asked, her tone cautious. Kirk raised his eyes to meet hers. The piercing look in his eyes vanished like morning dew the moment he saw her. "The cherry juice is ready."However, Caroline looked him up and down and asked, "Are you okay?""I'm fine," Kirk told her

A shadow fell across Jude's face as he started mumbling to himself. "Kirk's been married for at least three months now. Why did he only buy her a house now? Tell me, Simon, does this woman even exist? Or did Kirk hire her to put on a show for me?" Confused, Simon asked, "But why would he do that?"Jude gripped his cane. It took him a moment to respond. "Because the woman he married is Caroline!" Now that made Simon inhale sharply. "Mr. Morrison Senior, how is that possible? Ms. Evans and Mr. Kirk have never met each other.""I hope so. Perhaps I was overthinking it." Jude let out a long breath. "Mr. Morrison Senior, if you're so worried about it, why don't you simply call Ms. Evans to make sure?""No way!" Jude rejected his idea outright. Kirk was highly alert about this matter the last time they met. If Jude were to ask Caroline directly about this, it would surely arouse Kirk's suspicions.Jude shut his eyes tightly.The image of a young woman in a wedding gown emerged

Sean was stunned. He found it hard to believe just what was going on in Mia's mind. He was so dumbfounded that he forgot to free his arm from hers. "Mia, are you sure about this?'Mia shushed him and took a few steps closer to him. "She's looking at you." A smile made its way onto Sean's face. "Really?" he asked, pleasantly surprised. "Yep." "Then how does she look? Is she upset?" "She doesn't look happy, alright." "So, it worked then?" "I think so," said Mia as she looked right into his eyes with a dazzling smile. Caroline's brows were knit tightly together as she watched Mia and Sean from afar. She cocked her head to one side to see Gwen walking into the distance. Then, she turned to Kirk, who was beside her. "What's Sean doing?"Kirk had been enjoying spending time with Caroline by his side. He was holding hands with her as they walked side by side, much to his delight. Hearing her mention another man's name—his good friend's name, at that—made him very displea

There was a bar near the hostel, and there weren't many people there since it was only 5 pm. Sean got them a spot in one of the corners of the bar. Then, he ordered a dozen bottles of beer, and started drinking. Looking dejectedly at Kirk, he asked, "Hey, do you think Gwen has no feelings for me at all?"Kirk was busy scrolling through his tablet. He didn't even raise his eyes to look at Sean when he replied, "What makes you think she likes you?""Because I'm a good-looking, genius doctor." Sean pressed his fingers against his temples in distress. Seeing Kirk fully hooked on his tablet, Sean strained his neck to peek at the screen. "What are you looking at?"Kirk didn't try to cover the screen. When Sean saw what was shown there, his expression immediately changed to one of shock and horror. "The person who took Caroline to Saint Pierre was her mother?"Even beasts would look after their young. Caroline's mother was atrocious!Kirk continued looking through the information

Kirk didn't know what the notification was about. However, he had a few guesses after seeing Caroline's reaction. He raised a hand to pat her on the back. "What is it?" She handed him her phone right after. Kirk glanced at the phone and said, "It seems like you aren't surprised at all." Smiling, she explained, "Sarah called me the day I was taken to the hotel to meet Brie. I didn't connect the dots then. With this, I finally know why Brie had been bold enough to do that. "She wasn't the one who took me there, so she knew she wouldn't have to take the blame if something happened to me." Yet somehow an accident had occurred, making Brie go nuts. Kirk took Caroline into his arms. "Are you upset?" he asked. Caroline shook her head and rested it against his shoulder. "A few days ago, Sarah came to me. She asked me to persuade Grandpa to agree to Eddy and Layla seeing each other. I wondered why she would act like that …"Then, she looked down at her phone and snickered. "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

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
