Bogus Billionaire Chapter 21
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

Eddy was dying to know what kind of woman could make his uncle, who had always been indifferent toward relationships, fall in love at first sight and get married right away. Kirk remained silent. Eddy leaned closer to him and said, "Uncle Kirk, don't tell me that you won't let us see her because she's so beautiful that you want to save her for your eyes and your eyes only?" Kirk didn't deny it.Eddy's eyes widened instantly as he exclaimed, "I got it right! No way, Uncle Kirk. I'm even more curious now that you’re like this. You must let me meet her as soon as possible!" Kirk looked up at Eddy, who looked excited and was anticipating an answer. He smiled imperceptibly. "You'll meet her."After leaving the Morrison Corporation, Caroline raced home and dug into her contacts list. 50 million dollars was probably just the equivalent of a few meals to the upper class, but convincing them to lend her such a sum would be harder than moving mountains, especially when Eddy already had pla

The sound of his deep, husky voice made Caroline slowly realize that she was hugging Kirk. At once, she got flustered and hastily took a step back. Her pale face was flushed as she said, "Sorry, I …" Kirk's chest immediately felt hollow. As if nothing had happened, he said mildly, "I can lend you the money." Caroline went stiff, wondering if she had heard him correctly. “What did you say?"Kirk felt uneasy at her stare and said, "50 million dollars." Caroline frowned. "Kirk, thank you, but I'll find a way to get through this. You needn't worry.""I can help you, honestly." Kirk's gaze flitted toward her occasionally. "Actually, I am the Morrison family's …""I know you're in Morrison Corp's middle management and your yearly salary isn't exactly peanuts, but 50 million dollars is still a huge sum," said Caroline with a smile. "Unless you're an actual Morrison. But if that were the case, we wouldn't be married." "Why not?" Kirk's eyes were as black as coal. "Before, it was l

The phone screen went dark, but it lit up again after a few seconds. Kent was happy about that, but when he glanced at it again, his expression changed drastically. He shot to his feet and answered the phone, saying respectfully, "Mr. Morrison." The moment he said that, the noisy room fell into pin-drop silence.Nobody knew what the other person said, but Kent's expression remained respectful the whole time. After a while, he frowned and said, "But, didn't you say … Okay, I understand." With that, he waited for the other person to end the call. Then, he called Caroline. "Ms. Evans? I was in a meeting, so I didn't hear your call. You need to see me? Okay, let's meet up and have a nice long hat. No problem, see you tomorrow night."After putting down her phone, Caroline felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Kirk came back after his smoke and asked, "Good news?" Caroline looked up with a smile and said, "Yup, I made an appointment with someone for tomorrow." "A ma

“I came to see you today to …" Kent waved his hand dismissively and said with a sigh, "Ms. Evans, this must be your first time talking business. The rule is to drink before talking about business matters." With that, he snapped his fingers at the waiter and ordered, "Bring us the best bottle of wine you have." A moment later, the waiter brought a bottle of wine up to them and Kent took it from him, filling Caroline's glass personally. "Ms. Evans, this is my favorite red wine. Here, have a taste." Looking at the full glass of red wine, Caroline frowned slightly."What's the matter? You won't give me this pleasure?" Kent said with a displeased expression. Caroline felt helpless and had no choice but to take a small sip. Kent's expression turned more sour and he said, "You don’t seem very serious about this, Ms. Evans. If that’s how it’s going to be, I think it's best that you leave."Caroline said hastily, "No, it's just that I have a low tolerance for alcohol …" Seeing Ken

Caroline rushed to grab a towel from the bedside and stuffed it into Kent's mouth. After all, it was her first time in a situation like that, and she was already at the end of her rope after pushing through to this point. Hearing the knock on the door, she trembled like a leaf, at a complete loss for what to do. A familiar voice came from outside. "Caroline, it's me."Stunned, Caroline opened the door without hesitation. Seeing that it was Kirk, she felt surprised and grateful at the same time. She threw herself into his arms. All the fear and trepidation she felt vanished in an instant. "What … What's the matter?" Kirk patted her thin shoulders lightly and consoled her softly. "What would have happened to you if I wasn’t here?" He looked up and shot a dark glare at Kent, who was sprawled on the ground like a fat pig."Wait here for me and don't go anywhere," said Kirk. He made sure Caroline was safe and walked into the room, shutting the door behind him. The camera was still glo

The sharp ringing of Caroline's phone pulled her back to reality. When she pushed Kirk away, she was panting. "It's … my phone. It must be Gwen." Then, she quickly answered the call. "Hey, Gwen.""Phew … You picked up. I was worried to death. How did it go? Did that old bastard hurt you?"Caroline did not dare to look at Kirk. "No. I already left.""That's good. Wait a minute." Gwen suddenly sensed that something was amiss. "Babe, why are you breathing so heavily? Don't tell me that bastard's chasing after you? I'll come to you right now …""No, there's no need," said Caroline hastily. "I'm fine, I'm just relieved that it’s over. Anyway, the problem is solved. I … I'll talk to you tomorrow." Caroline regretted it the moment she hung up the phone. The car was pin-drop silent. The atmosphere was still charged, but it was more awkward than before. She fumbled for words for a long time before saying, "So … Was that a spot check?"Kirk turned the air-conditioning higher, but the heat

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

"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
