Bogus Billionaire Chapter 289
The assistant was nervous as he asked, "Sir, what does Caroline Evans mean by this?"Liam's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't know either. He had never interacted much with Caroline before.He only knew that she was a brainless sort of woman. Jude Morrison had always been supportive of her becoming Eddy's wife, but she had given up on that opportunity.After some thought, Liam made a call to Layla and waved his assistant off.The assistant quickly went outside.Layla answered just as the door closed. "Your guess was right, Ms. Evans. Caroline Evans indeed came to see me."Layla was currently playing cards. When she heard this, she smiled in satisfaction. "I see. What did she say?""She said she would acquire my company within half a year and pay more than the market price."Layla burst into laughter, causing her friends to look up and ask, "What, are you going to win?"Layla snickered. "No, I just heard a very funny joke." As she said this, she got someone to take her place in th

Jules was stunned. "You want to recommend Vivian?""No." Caroline shook her head. "When it comes to work, Vivian is flawless. But she's just too envious of others. If you can't find anyone in a pinch, you can have her take the position for the time being. But my suggestion is that you should find the right candidate as soon as possible to fill such an important post."Jules smiled a little. "Honestly, I was still worried that you wouldn't be able to handle the position of Evans Group's CEO. But after hearing you say that, I think Evans Group will only grow bigger and better in your hands."Caroline looked at problems with an unbiased eye. She didn't consider her own likes or dislikes. She could even be so fair toward Vivian, who had caused her problem after problem. It was a rare thing.Caroline answered, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Hawkins. I'll go back to my office now.""Alright."When she got back to her office, Caroline saw Cheryl's eyes red from crying. "What is i

Once Caroline settled matters regarding Evans Group, she had much more free time for a few days. Just as she had nothing to do, she received a call from Gwen."Carol, I have tomorrow off. Do you want to go and pick out a wedding gown together tomorrow?"When it came to buying a wedding gown, Gwen was even more excited than Caroline was. Caroline smiled. "Sure.""Didn't you want to have your pictures taken in Macovo? I heard it snows there all year. Do you want to take ski equipment there too?"Caroline wasn't sure about it. "I don't think we have that much time there."Hearing this, Gwen said, "That's true. But I would really love to go with you to take your photos."Caroline teased, "You really want to go?""Yes.""Then why don't you quickly make Sean official?"Gwen scoffed. "I'm not talking to you anymore. I've noticed you're biased toward him."Caroline smiled. After she hung up, she finished work and went home.Kirk had come home early today, and he had cooked. When

The next day, after Caroline and Gwen met up, they went straight to Merry Color. As for Sean and Kirk, they had both been dumped at home. In Sean's words, they had become latchkey kids.Soon, Caroline and Gwen arrived at Merry Color.When she saw Caroline, the new store manager quickly went forward. "You must be Mrs. Yates. Mr. Eddy said that you can choose any dress in the shop as long as you like it."Caroline and Gwen exchanged a glance and chuckled at the same time. The manager didn't know why they were laughing. She led them both to pick out wedding gowns.Then, she moved away for a moment. Gwen went up to Caroline and said with a chuckle, "I wonder how Eddy would react if he found out you were the Mrs. Yates he was talking about."Caroline smiled for a moment before frowning. "Gwen, stop getting Sean to pretend to be my husband next time.""What are you afraid of?" Gwen knew what Caroline was worried about. "Our relationship isn't that fragile. Besides, I trust you 100%

Caroline said, "Yes.""My god, I really can't believe it. Carol, you're amazing."Caroline was a bit annoyed as she said, "I'm not 100% sure, though. Don't praise me just yet.""No, but you're already amazing for daring to take over a company. Some people don't dare become bosses like this. Me, for example. I wouldn't dare do such a thing. Just thinking about all the issues a company faces gives me a headache!"Caroline replied, "Managing a company really is quite difficult. Besides, I don't have much experience with it. But I don't want my grandfather's company to be ruined just like that."Although Caroline didn't much remember Benjamin Evans, they were still family."You're right about that." When it came to the Evans family, Gwen found it kind of sad. She had been young back then, but she could still remember a bit about what had happened. Whenever the adults had spoken about the Evans family back then, they had been reverential and fearful. Now, they were mocking.The d

Quentin's hair was messy and frizzy, and he had dark, heavy eyebags. It looked like he hadn't slept in many days.Adrian tugged at him. It was then that Quentin noticed Caroline. But his expression was frozen, and he couldn't even smile at her."No, I can't anymore. I'm exhausted. I need to sleep first." With that, Quentin slumped to the ground.Neither Gwen nor Caroline had ever seen him like this before. Curiously, they asked, "What happened to him?"Adrian gave the passed-out Quentin a kick. Then, he called some of the employees to move Quentin to the third floor. After that, he answered, "He's been investigating something. He hasn't stopped for three days and hasn't slept in all that time. Now he needs to catch up on sleep. You …"Adrian shot a glance at Caroline's shopping cart. "Do you still have any more books to buy?"Gwen quickly answered, "There's one more: 'The Essence of Management.'" Since he was familiar with the layout, Adrian led them to the C section and pu

Time passed quickly. It was getting closer to the day when Evans Group's new CEO would be chosen. Yet Caroline only became more calm as the days went by. Even so, she completed her work for Thorne Corp very well. However, the HR department still hadn't found a suitable new design director. Thus, Jules had yet to approve Caroline's resignation. Actually, there was another reason Jules didn't do it. He just didn't have the guts to say it.During this time, Layla had also been attending various events with Eddy. Anyone with sharp eyes could tell that Eddy was in support of Layla. There was even word that many people were waiting to invest in Evans Group once Layla took over.Once the shareholders found out about this, they would surely be on Layla's side. That was why Jules didn't think Caroline could become Evans Group's CEO. He was worried since Eddy was so invested in Layla now.Jules' direct superior was Eddy's second uncle. He was afraid his boss would side with Layla too
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 296
Layla was in high spirits now, so she didn't blame Vivian for it. "It's fine. I'll get to see her expression tomorrow." Vivian instantly got what she meant and went with the flow. "I shall congratulate you first, then, Ms. Layla."Layla was quite pleased to hear that and said, "Don't worry. Your work won't be forgotten.""Um …" Vivian started but paused for a moment. "I actually wanted to talk to you about something." "What is it?" Layla asked. "It's confirmed that the company will make me their design director," Vivian told her, deliberately omitting the detail that the position was temporary. "Okay. What do you want, then?" asked Layla. "You're smart." Vivian smiled. "Since Evans Group focuses primarily on the clothing industry, you'll surely need someone to help with the designs. I was thinking that perhaps …"She didn't need to say more, for Layla knew exactly what she wanted and said, "That is not a problem." She smiled, enjoying how she could flaunt her positio

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
