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

Everybody got up and prepared to greet Kirk, but what he did was punch Eddy in the face. Their jaws dropped, including Eddy's himself. After a pause, Eddy cradled his cheek and raised his head. "Uncle Kirk?" Kirk looked at him with a venomous gaze. Sean was the first to get his senses back and signaled to the others to leave the room. "Kirk, what's the matter with you?""Yeah, why did you hit me out of nowhere, Uncle Kirk?""You know why, don’t you?" Veins bulged on the back of Kirk's hand. If it wasn't because Sean was holding him back, he would have punched Eddy again. "No matter how much you hate Caroline, you should never have sent a man to rape her!"Kirk's patience toward Eddy had already reached its limit over the surgery incident, and he did not expect Eddy to cross another boundary. Eddy said in shock, "When … When did I send a man to … rape her?""She was almost assaulted by Kent Pearson tonight. I witnessed it with my own eyes. Are you still not going to admit it?"

Before she could finish, Kirk dragged her to the door roughly and flung her out. His gaze was icy, and he looked frightening. "Who gave you the audacity!" he growled. Brie's face paled instantly. A short distance away, Sean shook his head helplessly at the scene. "He won't admit that he likes Caroline, but that’s how he reacts to another woman. What a stubborn man. He'd better get his act together sooner or later," thought Sean.At 3 am, Caroline was still awake. That kiss felt like a scald and her lips still burned. The moment she touched them, she felt as if she was back in the car and steamily kissing him again. Her cheeks burned without her realizing it and her whole body felt restless. While she was tossing and turning in bed, noises came from outside the door. It wasn't knocking. It was scratching.Caroline's senses sharpened instantly and she got up, grabbing a knife from the kitchen and walking to the door warily. Looking through the peephole, she saw that it was Kirk. Sh

"Are you willing to?" His voice was low and hoarse, yet his eyes had a strange light in them.Caroline didn't know whether he was truly drunk or was simply pretending to be drunk. She pressed her lips against his; her entire face was already bright red by now. Kirk bent over and pressed on her lips too. The scent of alcohol invaded Caroline's senses, making her feel light-headed. Still, her hands tightened their grip on his shirt. As she let them slide down his shirt, her fingers brushed on something shaped like a lipstick. The heat she felt instantly vanished like an extinguished flame. Hastily, she pushed Kirk away. "I—I'll get you something to sober up," she said, breathless. With that, she rushed off into the kitchen and closed the door. She smacked herself on the head a couple of times and cursed at herself for being clumsy enough to let something like that happen. Kirk was drunk, but she wasn't. She had no idea how she'd face him in the future if something happened be

Caroline frowned. The way Layla apologized seemed rather pretentious. "Kent Pearson?" Sarah cried and looked at Caroline with anxiety written all over her face. "Were you tainted?" Caroline glanced sideways at Layla, her lips already turning into a sneer. "So, you're the one who ordered Kent to do that to me last night, aren't you?" Layla paled at Caroline's words. She bit her lip and tried to explain herself. "No, that's not true! I've already explained this to Eddy. I called Kent out of the kindness of my heart so that he'd lend you the money. I really didn't know that he'd do something like that." Caroline took a step forward, not bothering to listen to her excuses. She stared at Layla with piercing eyes and spat, "So, it was you?" "No—" Layla had barely uttered another word when Caroline gave her a tight slap across the face. It took a moment for Layla to realize what had happened. Her fingers trembled as they touched her cheek, which was now burning in pain from the slap
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 33
Layla's voice trailed off, but everyone around knew what she meant. Caroline replied calmly, "How I got the money is none of your business." She continued, "Besides, according to our agreement, I don't need to get divorced, and you can't withdraw the investment either. You're free to choose whether to stay or leave when Evans Group stabilizes." "Caroline!" Sarah wailed. "How could you say something like that?" Eddy took a deep breath. He heard the sarcasm in Caroline's tone. Initially, he'd felt rather guilty toward her, but all of that vanished in an instant when Layla suggested that Caroline had resorted to prostitution. Harrumphing, he said, "Fine. I underestimated you. This time, I'm the one who lost." With that said, he pushed Layla's wheelchair and walked away.Hastily, Sarah followed after them. Now that peace and quiet had finally been restored, Caroline turned away from the corridor and back into her house. She accidentally stepped on Kirk's shoes. A soft smile hun

Caroline opened the door to see an empty corridor. There was no one there. "Strange. Nobody's here," she mumbled to herself. Kirk had followed her to the door. He looked to the left and right and saw no one there either. In his hoarse voice, he said, "Maybe a kid tried to prank you. Let's go back and eat." "Okay." Caroline nodded and closed the door. When the corridor became quiet again, Eddy walked out from behind the safety exit and stared at the closed door of Caroline's apartment. A gush of disappointment flashed through his eyes. Caroline was now married and living with another man. All this time, he'd wished that she would stop pestering him. Ironically, he didn't feel as happy as he'd expected himself to be when his wish came true. It was as though something was stuck in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. He didn't even have the courage to see Caroline and her husband standing together and had to resort to hiding. …In front of a coffee shop, Caroline and Gwen

"Mhmm." Gwen hummed and nodded. "Have you thought of which painting you're going to give Mr. Morrison Senior?" she asked. Caroline opened the auction house's website and skimmed through the items that were being auctioned today. "This one," she handed her phone to Gwen and explained, "It's by Zach Zimmer. Although he isn't that popular compared to other artists, his works have a certain flair and character to them that Grandpa likes. I can afford it too, so it's the best gift I can get for Grandpa." "I am truly speechless at how far you're willing to go for him." Gwen laughed. "How much does this cost, then?" "About a million dollars, I think.""A million dollars! Where did you get the money from?" "My savings." Caroline sighed. "Grandpa's always been very kind to me, but I've let him down. I'm not going to be his granddaughter-in-law anymore, so this painting serves as some kind of compensation too." "It's not your fault—" Gwen exclaimed.Caroline quickly interrupted her

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
