Bogus Billionaire Chapter 257
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

Of course, the happy one was Kirk. When everyone saw Kirk today, they all wondered if he was an impostor. He was much more cheerful compared to how gloomy and terrifying he had been yesterday.When Sean came to return his phone, he even dared to mock Kirk, saying, "I don't know who got drunk at the bar yesterday and almost used his personal Facebook account to post that Caroline was his wife." Sean laughed. Kirk saw the draft post in the drafts folder. However, he was in a good mood today and didn't stop Sean.Sean also noticed his good mood, so he dared to act recklessly. "Since you're jealous, why aren't you giving her the silent treatment … Wait, did your wife cast a spell on you? Is she forcing you to admit she's always right, even if she's not?"Kirk glanced at him and asked, "Don't you have too much time on your hands?"Sean said cautiously, "Why are you asking?""There's a good job opening in the ice straits. I should recommend you for it.""No! No thanks. I'd better

When Caroline got into the car after work, she got a call from Quentin. He said he found information about the company and sent it to her email. She hadn't expected him to work this fast. She glanced at Jack in front of her and sent Quentin another message, "What about your investigation on Jack?"Quentin took a long time to reply. "I'm still investigating him. Things are a bit tricky at the moment, but don't worry, I'll definitely get to the bottom of this."Caroline trusted Adrian's connections. "Then, can you check another thing for me?"This time, Quentin replied immediately, "Go ahead and tell me."She sent him Vivian's name and job position. "Not long ago, this woman took her design and joined the Rosebow Contest, pretending to be me. I saw the designs that won, and most were better than this one. So I want to find out how she won."Caroline paused and then sent the user ID, VVinsome, to Quentin. She instructed, "This Facebook user also speaks a lot like her. Please chec

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
