Bogus Billionaire Chapter 255
On the filming set, a night shoot was in progress.Filming at night was the number-one headache for actresses because staying up late could severely affect collagen production in the body. To Daphne, though, this was nothing to be concerned about. The filming crew had emptied out one of the best dressing rooms and even thoughtfully laid out a bed for her. It was all because she was one of the Morrisons now."I really loathe that self-conceited look of hers!" After staying in the nippy wind for so long, one of the crewmembers couldn't help but voice her dissatisfaction while shifting her feet in the cold. "Her face is full of plastic, and her acting skills aren't good either. It's awful enough that she makes things tough for us all the time, but can't she just play her part properly and professionally? She should just go home and be a full-time housewife since she's married already." Someone shushed her. "Do you have a death wish? Some of our colleagues were fired just becaus

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Collins. You're too kind to me." "It's my pleasure. We're family, after all." After chatting for a bit, Jane yawned and said, "I won't take your time anymore since you still have a film to shoot." After she left, a horde of people crowded around Daphne and started pestering her with their comments of admiration. "Ms. Dawson! You're so lucky! I always thought that a famous actress like you would lead an extravagant lifestyle. I didn't know that the filthy rich would be such spendthrifts! She gave you 24 handbags like it was nothing!" "Does your husband treat you like this too? You should get yourself a mansion to store all your bags!" "I'm turning green with envy! Ms. Dawson, give me some of your luck!" This was exactly what Daphne wanted. Kirk couldn't care less about her, but as long as the Collins family tried to get on her good side, nobody would doubt that she was Kirk's wife. A soft smile formed on her lips, and she told them, "It's nothing

Caroline didn't give the private detective an answer, which made him fret. Turning to look at Charles, who stood behind him, he mouthed, "Is she suspecting me?" Charles appeared as cool and composed as ever. But deep down, he was more anxious than the private detective. A moment later, Caroline spoke. "Are you sure that you're asking for one thousand dollars only?" "Yes," the detective replied hastily. Worried that she would regret her decision, he added, "One thousand dollars is enough. Do you want it?" "Yes," Caroline told him. "But you have to send it to another email address of mine." Later, she gave the detective an email address that she rarely used. Once everything was done, he hung up and turned to Charles. "You clearly had no faith in me." Charles tossed him a sideways glance and said, "Stop babbling and send her the information." "Okay, fine. Where's my thousand dollars then?" He barely finished his sentence when he received a notification on his phone. Gla

The contents of the file inside couldn't be more ordinary.In fact, it was more extensive than the first.Caroline furrowed her brows. She still couldn't believe that she had obtained such priceless information for one thousand dollars.Cheryl stood behind the office desk and watched Caroline's frown. She dared not utter a single word.When Caroline finally closed her laptop, Cheryl asked, "Caroline, you still haven't answered my question from yesterday!""What question?""About you and Adrian!" Cheryl's eyes sparkled as she spoke.Caroline helplessly facepalmed. "No, we're not married.""Ah!" Cheryl let out a disappointed exclamation. Yet it only lasted a second before her lips pulled together into a wide smile. "I understand now! You're in a secret relationship, is that right? Is it so that you don't trouble Mr. Eddy? Because the Sorkin and Morrison families have quite a few business connections.If the two of you were to break contact, it would be such a pity."Caroline

"Is this Sean?" Sean sat up in his seat. As soon as he heard Caroline's voice, the only thing that came to his mind was Kirk's unfortunate plight. He could barely hold his laughter as he answered, "It's me.""Remember what you said before you went abroad? That you would help me investigate Layla."Sean took a moment to think before he registered Layla's name. "Oh, yeah.""She went to jail for a bit, but as soon as she was released, her illness seemed to have been cured. I seriously doubt whether she was even sick in the first place or if it was all just an act."Sean's smile vanished from his face. "What did you just say? She's okay now?""Yeah. In fact, it looks like she has recovered completely, free of any aftereffects. Could there really be a miracle doctor who cured her illness?"Sean firmly denied it. "That's impossible. I read Layla's medical records. At that stage, her only option was a kidney transplant. After that, she would have had a long road to recovery too."C

Adrian looked at him. Quentin immediately plastered on a flattering smile. "My tongue's misbehaved. Just a slip of the tongue."Adrian stared into the far distance and said, "I just find it mind-blowing that someone has so much power to wipe out everything about it in the blink of an eye."Quentin propped his chin up on a hand. "Well, who else could it be? Of course it's the Morrison family."Adrian turned to look at him."I heard that Mr. Morrison Senior is still hoping that Ms. Evans will marry into the family. That's why he's been urging his grandson to pursue her."You could say that the old man's wired rather peculiarly. Usually, the rich shun divorcees like nothing else, but Mr. Morrison Senior doesn't seem to care at all."All he wants is to make Ms. Evans ..."Quentin paused. He knew the rest of his statement couldn't be more insinuating. Hence, he just swallowed the words.Nevertheless, Adrian didn't think much of it. "But aren't Eddy and Layla getting along particul

Sean's eyes widened into saucers as he saw Kirk's finger nearing the "share" button. He snatched Kirk's phone from him and yelled, "Have you gone mad?"If this were to get publicized, it would indeed clear up all the rumors. But Kirk could very well end up sleeping on the couch for the rest of his life.Sean felt like he was suffering too much for the sake of his friend's happiness.By the time Sean dropped Kirk back home, it was already 9 pm.And the reason he managed to send the drunken man home so early was thanks to the brilliant job Caroline had done cultivating Kirk.Kirk's internal clock was never out of sync.Around 8 pm, he drowsily woke up and insisted that his wife was waiting for him at home. He groaned that he couldn't return home late and that he had to get back no matter what.Hearing Sean's words, Caroline didn't know if she should laugh or cry.She helped Kirk to the couch while she said to Sean, "Thank you. Sorry about the trouble too."Sean shrugged it off.

Kirk looked at the lavish spread on the table. A faint smile graced his lips.Indeed, he was the master chef behind these dishes.Well, Charles provided the ingredients, but still.By the time he had returned home last night, he had already been sobering up.Upon hearing Caroline call him "honey" so affectionately, he had fully awakened from his drunken daze.Thanks to her loving endearments—calling him "honey" and telling him he was the best for her—he could no longer go back to sleep. Later, he figured that since he would be awake the whole night anyway, he might as well get up and cook for Caroline.When Caroline stepped out of the bathroom after her shower, she noticed that the chair on her side had been pulled out."Let's eat."She asked, "Is your headache gone?""It's still here, just a little. But when I think about cooking for you, it completely disappears.""You're a smooth talker, aren't you?" Caroline turned to fetch some painkillers for him.He didn't take the
