Ivan's voice was sharp. It was a little out of control.Kirk held back the smile on his face. He said proudly, "Of course she is.""But you never told me that she's Giselle's granddaughter!""Giselle? Giselle Cassidy?" Kirk narrowed his eyes and deduced, "You know Caroline's grandma?"Ivan let out a long sigh. "If I remember correctly, Caroline is the wife your uncle had arranged for his grandson. And you married …"Kirk's face darkened as he cut Ivan off. "Carrie has nothing to do with the Morrisons. She's married to me. She's not someone else's fiancée."Ivan protested, "Your uncle will never agree to your marriage with Caroline!""How do you know that?"Ivan sighed, "Because Caroline is very important to him.""She's more important to me than my own life." Kirk said coldly, "I won't let anyone take her away from me, even if it means I'll lose my life."Seeing his son's devotion to Caroline, Ivan stopped trying to persuade him.After hanging up the phone, he sighed helpl

Evans Group was the only reason why Dan and Sarah had been able to live a comfortable life so far. Meanwhile, Evans Group wasn't making any profit because these two were embezzling money.If Evans Group appointed a new CEO, they would lose their source of income. Besides that, they might even be thrown into prison if the accounts were audited."I … I'll go apologize to Caroline!" Sarah got up, feeling at a loss.…Meanwhile, in Thorne Corp's design department, Caroline was in a brilliant mood. She had leveraged her sob story and managed to sever ties with Sarah and Dan.She called Gwen and said, "Let's go shopping tonight.""Wow! Great minds really do think alike. I just watched the video you posted. I was going to call you, but you got to me first." If they had been together, Gwen would have hugged Caroline. Caroline had truly won this battle beautifully!"You haven't answered my question." Caroline laughed."Sure, sure. I'll come and see you once I get off work.""Alright.

Soon after, the car took off on the road again. After a short span of silence, Gwen remembered the topic they hadn't finished discussing. She was about to continue when she pointed outside the car in sudden excitement."Carol, look at that Faromish restaurant there, quick! That's the place Kirk and I planned for your surprise proposal."Caroline noticed that Jack's eyebrow twitched when Gwen mentioned Kirk again. But she was too hung up on the proposal and didn't ask about it."Where?""Right there." Gwen pointed toward the front. "Do you want to go and have a look? But I suppose the decorations must have all been taken down."Caroline replied, "That's alright. I can imagine it.""Then let's go have a look.""Okay."Caroline asked Jack to park by the Faromish restaurant. When they got out of the car, Caroline and Gwen realized that the restaurant wasn't open.Gwen commented, "What a shame."Caroline chuckled and walked to the door. The door was made of glass, so she could s

None of the staff members came over to where Daphne was. None of them even turned to look at her.Daphne immediately became enraged. It seemed true that the entertainment industry was very realistic. Daphne hadn't seen Kirk since dinner that night. Many people had quietly asked her for information, but she couldn't even come up with a picture of them both together. Thus, some started doubting whether she was really married to Eddy's second uncle and started treating her coldly.Daphne's manager approached her and said lowly, "Don't tell me that Mr. Morrison never contacted you again afterward?"Daphne was already in a bad mood. When she heard this, she gripped her cup and was about to throw a tantrum. Just them she heard rushed footsteps coming from outside."M—Ms. Dawson. The head of the Collins family wants to see you!"Daphne was stunned. She immediately recalled that Howard Collins had called her a few days ago. She became overjoyed. "Where is he?""He—he's right outside!

At the villa, Kirk had already heard from Jack that Caroline had seen the proposal surprise at the restaurant. "You're home?" He stepped forward to hug Caroline. "Are you hungry?" Caroline smiled. "I'm not hungry. Guess what I saw today?"Kirk played along and thought about it for a moment. "Hm … I can't guess."Caroline took out her phone and held it out to Kirk. "I saw the restaurant you decorated for the proposal! It's so beautiful!"Kirk smiled as well. He kissed Caroline's eyelids. "Did you like it?""I did. But," Caroline seemed regretful as she spoke, "I would have liked it even more if those roses were still in bloom.""If you'd like that, then I could …" Kirk paused. "Discuss with the boss about switching out the roses.""There's no need." Caroline allowed Kirk to hold her as they sat on the couch. She reached out to circle her arms around Kirk's neck. She said seriously, "You said something to me this morning before going out. You said you'd give me a gift. Did

In contrast, Dan gave a loud, cold huff. "Help us? Don't you think you've thrown us in enough hot water?"Layla replied, "Uncle Dan, Aunt Sarah, I know what you're worried about. You've taken quite a lot of money from Evans Group over the years. So you're worried that the new CEO will find out about it. Once the board's other members find out about this, they won't let you off!"Sarah's and Dan's expressions shifted. "You …"Layla only smiled lightly. "Don't worry, I won't tell people about this. I'm on your side.""What's the point of having you on our side?" Dan scoffed."Of course there's a point. Because I'll definitely be the next CEO!"Sarah and Dan exchanged glances with each other."Uncle Dan, Aunt Sarah, if someone else ends up in that position, they will definitely expose what you have been doing. But I won't. Because I need your help.""Our help?""That's right! You know my situation with Eddy the best. Although Eddy wants to marry me, Mr. Morrison Senior is still
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 236
Caroline could distinctly feel Kirk's displeasure. She guessed that he really disliked the fact that she still had ties with Eddy. Thus, she explained patiently, "Grandpa has always been good to me. I can't reject his invitation."Kirk smiled as he brushed Caroline's hair aside. "I'm not mad. It's just that Mr. Morrison Senior still cares so much about you, even though we're already married. Don't you find it strange?"Caroline was silent for a moment before sighing. "Actually, I've always wondered about it. Grandpa treats me with the kind of unconditional love that goes beyond being related by blood. Maybe I look like some relative of his who died young. Do you think it's possible he's so nice to me because of that?"Perhaps Jude's love for Caroline stemmed from that?Kirk smiled slightly. He had no desire to look into Jude and the rest of the older generation's affairs. But if Jude stepped too far …"Maybe. You could ask him about it tomorrow night.""Okay." Caroline nodded

When Jude looked over at him, Eddy no longer expressed rejection. He nodded lightly.Seeing this, Jude was relieved. He looked over at Simon. When Simon received the signal, he bent over and said a few words into Jude's ear. Jude laughed and said, "Carrie, the owner of this place is my good friend. He's asking me to take a look around. You and Eddy can wait for me here."Caroline could tell that Jude was giving her and Eddy a chance to be alone together. Before, Caroline would have been grateful for it. But now, there was really no need for it.Some things couldn't be forced. Plus, she already had a good man of her own.Jude didn't wait for Caroline's response. With Simon's help, he swiftly walked out. Once he left, only Caroline and Eddy were left in the private room.Caroline didn't want to talk to Eddy. She got up and stomped her feet. After a pause, she opened the door and got out.Outside the private room, the landscaping was very peaceful, with flowing water and thick s

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
