Bogus Billionaire Chapter 279
Four security guards came in, grabbed Jane and Daphne, and threw them out. The bodyguards Daphne had brought didn't dare to stop them and just slinked out of the store with her and Jane.After dealing with them, the person in charge ran to Sean again. He said, "Mr. Yates, Mr. Eddy asked me to hand this to you."Sean glanced at the item. It was a card."There are 200 thousand dollars on this card. You can spend it at any store under Morrison Corp. Mr. Eddy said it's a token of apology," the person in charge explained.Gwen clicked her tongue at his words and nudged Caroline with her arm.Caroline had never seen Eddy be so generous in their eight years together. Even Eddy had to lower himself in front of someone more powerful than him.200 thousand dollars was just a drop in the bucket for Sean, but when he thought of Kirk, he smiled and kept the card. "You're lucky that Mr. Eddy knows how to deal with people. We'll just leave this matter at that, but I won't be so kind the next

Sean dropped Caroline off at Thorne Corp before driving Gwen to the city center. When they reached the underground parking lot, Gwen was about to take off her seat belt when Sean held her hand.Gwen's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm. She asked, "What are you doing?""Don't you have anything to say?" Sean asked in return, looking at Gwen with a tender smile.Gwen's heart beat wildly as he watched her. She said insincerely, "What?"Sean moved closer, maintaining an appropriate distance. He said, "I helped your friend today, you know …" He looked at her, silently asking for a reward.Although there was a distance between them, Gwen could still feel Sean's breath on her cheeks. She felt uneasy and wanted to cover her face.Sean grabbed her wrist and stared at her with a burning gaze. "Gwen, I know you're not ready to take the next step, but I'm not in a hurry. But you have to give me a treat once in a while so that I can have some hope as I wait for your answ

Even though Kirk had seen through him in a second, Sean didn't get embarrassed. He only laughed and said, "There's no need to be so calculative between us." As he spoke, he turned the steering wheel. Then, his tone turned serious. "I mean it. It doesn't feel good to see Caroline pinching pennies because of you."Kirk's finger was on his temple as he said, "I got it." This meant that he would deal with it, so Sean didn't pursue the topic anymore.After hanging up, Kirk went back into the conference room. He saw Howard, who was looking at him in anticipation, and said blandly, "You can leave now."The smile on Howard's face froze. "But Mr. Morrison, I'm here today to report about …"Kirk shot Howard a look, making him shut up. He had no choice but to leave obediently.Once Howard left, Kirk called Charles in. "Give Daphne a few more roles."Pained, Charles said, "Yes, sir.""Come back here." Kirk's gaze was dark as he said, "I don't mean a secondary or tertiary character. Gi

"Besides, if Eddy's second uncle keeps getting into new industries in the country, who knows if the Morrison Corporation will end up in Eddy's hands or his second uncle's?"Jane was taken aback when she heard that. "If Eddy's uncle ends up on top, he would be unstoppable. He'll have control of both the markets in Sarcozia and Easton. That's unheard of.""That's right." Howard chuckled. "That's why you have to develop a good relationship with Daphne. As for what happened today …" Howard frowned. "Don't let it happen again."Jane felt displeased at this. "But Caroline caused Brie's condition. Are we just going to let her off?""Didn't you just say that Sean Yates is her man?" Howard's gaze turned dark at this. "He's good friends with Eddy's second uncle, and their relationship seems strong. We can't offend her. Once Eddy's second uncle takes over both markets, we can bring up this matter again and exaggerate it. If he still likes Daphne, then we'll be lucky. We might be able to

Since he had gotten together with Caroline, Kirk seemed to have become much funnier. On the other end of the line, Daphne wasn't in as good a mood as Charles. Looking at the roles that her manager had sent over, she knew that she was in trouble.Her manager comforted her. "Look on the bright side. At least this is to help you improve your acting skills. No one's plotting against you behind your back."Yet Daphne didn't think the same way. Would she have to suffer this injustice if she were really Mrs. Morrison? At this thought, Kirk's image appeared in Daphne's mind. Although it had been a month since she had seen him, Daphne could still clearly recall his features. He was handsome and cold. When she saw him, she wanted to conquer him.Daphne knew men the best. She could definitely land Kirk!…When Kirk's car arrived at the villa, he knew that Caroline had already reached home. The lights shining through from the living room were proof of it. Kirk smiled. But when he thou

Caroline regarded Kirk seriously. After a long while, she hugged his arm and looked into his eyes. "Kirk, tell me. Are you quitting because of me or because of yourself?"Kirk smiled slightly. "Why do you ask that?""Because if it's for my sake, I hope you won't make such a rash decision. But if it's for your own sake, I will support you unconditionally, no matter what you choose."Kirk paused. At that moment, he realized that what he saw as a simple matter was a huge gamble for Caroline. He gently put his head on her shoulder. Warmth spread over him, and emotions overwhelmed his heart."Even if the company suffers losses?""That's okay." Caroline smiled toward Kirk. "I trust you. If you can handle so many big shots so easily, you can definitely do this!"When he saw how much Carolien trusted him, he suddenly found himself at a loss for words. He could only kiss her forehead gently and say, "I won't let you down."Caroline laughed as she got up. "Let's eat."Kirk passed Car

After satiating his desire, Kirk was in a good mood and pulled Caroline into his arms. He was playing with her fingers as he broke the situation down and analyzed it for her."There's nothing Sloan Mackey really cares about. He doesn't care about money, but his father is different. After all, he had built his empire with his own hands back in the day. He knows very well what that was like.""What you mean is that I should talk to his father," Caroline replied."Smart girl." Kirk kissed Caroline's lips.Caroline smiled as she looked at Kirk. The way she was looking at him made Kirk feel a little panicked. "What is it?" he asked. Had he accidentally exposed himself?"It's nothing. I just think you have a great eye for analyzing problems. You understand the point in a flash. Even if you quit your job, I won't be worried about you."Kirk's straightened back relaxed a little. He caressed Caroline's hair. "Darling, I'll get shy from the way you praise me."Caroline didn't believe

Vivian also froze where she stood by Layla's side. But then, she smiled mockingly. "I was wondering why you weren't at work today. It seems you were looking for your next company."Vivian had accidentally seen Caroline's resignation letter in Jules' office yesterday. After some questioning, she finally found out that Caroline was leaving Thorne Corp. She guessed that Jules must have made her write that resignation. She even thought that Caroline must have made a huge mistake, which was why Jules was making her resign.That was why Vivian had gone to work early in the morning. She had planned to use this information to be snide toward Caroline. But it turned out that Caroline had taken the day off. Thus, Vivian could only go see Layla and tell her the good news.Layla and Vivian had even come to an agreement. If Vivian helped Layla figure out what Caroline had done wrong, Layla would help Vivian become Thorne Corporation's design director once she became Evans Group's CEO.After a

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
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 1393
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
