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

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

Kirk was already home by the time Caroline returned. He wasn't in the kitchen preparing food as usual, though. He tossed her a smile and said, "Let's head out for dinner today. I booked us a spot at Yogoo." Yogoo was a new restaurant specializing in Faromish food. Influencers flocked there, and it was said that the restaurant offered 180 different dishes and that every single dish tasted heavenly. The only downside was that the food was rather expensive. A couple of days ago, one of its customers had shared the bill online. He had spent thousands of dollars just on three dishes. This piece of information quickly took over the headlines. "The food there is too expensive." Caroline furrowed her brows. "Why do you want to go there for dinner?" Kirk tilted her chin upward and kissed her gently on the lips. "It's to celebrate you, darling, for becoming the next CEO of Evans Group in advance." Caroline laughed lightly and said, "Is it really alright? What if I lose?" "No wa

Adrian turned, surprised to see Caroline standing not far away from him. "Are you here with a friend?" He smiled. His smile was warm, like the morning sun, and it made Caroline smile too. "Nope, I'm here with my husband." The gleam in Adrian's eyes dimmed a bit. "Lovebirds, eh?" Embarrassed, Caroline lowered her head for a moment before looking up to ask him, "What about you? Are you here with your friends?" "Yeah, kind of," Adrian told her after a moment's hesitance. Silence fell as both of them didn't have anything else to talk about after that. Adrian broke the stillness by asking, "Can I meet your husband?" He was curious about what kind of man could make her change so much."Sure!" Caroline beamed. "But you have to wait for a bit. I want to settle the bill first." "Let me treat you two this time," Adrian told her. "No, I'm fine." She waved her hands, declining his offer. "How can I let you do that?" The two of them fought for the bill, and the staff at the c

Kirk lifted a drowsy Caroline back into their home. After helping her with her bath and changing into her pajamas, he tucked her up in bed. Then, he headed to the study and switched on the PC. After the screen lit up, his eyes zeroed in on the file containing the information Quentin had procured for Carolie. He clicked it open. On the other side of the city, Quentin was busy typing away at his keyboard. He glanced at Adrian, who sat behind him drinking a bottle of wine."Hey, didn't you say that you were buying me a drink? Why do I feel like you bought it for yourself?" Adrian carried on drinking instead of giving him a reply. Later, Quentin let go of his mouse and stood up, waiting for the PC to continue its operation on its own. He sat down beside Adrian and said, "What's wrong? That woman doesn't have eyes for you?" Quentin knew that the Sorkins had arranged a blind date for Adrian. Adrian took a gulp from the bottle and told him, "I met Caroline today."Quentin click
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 300
Besides the five shareholders who came in just now, the board members of Evans Group also entered the room one after another. Caroline glanced around and realized that she recognized all of them. They were all members of the Evans family. To put it simply, Evans Group didn't have a group of external shareholders. It could be seen as the Evans family's very own company. Everything operated on nepotism, and this was why Sarah and Dan had been bold enough to do whatever they pleased and hadn't been afraid of being discovered. Glancing around, Caroline took a deep breath. The conference room was as noisy as it could get, although the election hadn't started. Everyone talked about her and Layla, and she found it hard to ignore the chatter since the room wasn't that big either. "Why is Caroline here? Isn't she afraid of humiliating herself?" Someone chimed in. Another person snorted derisively and said, "She thinks she will get to inherit the position from her father. If Evans

Now that Eddy's support was guaranteed, Layla found herself very much at ease. Her smile widened, and she purposely planted a kiss on his cheek in front of all the people watching them. "Thank you, Eddy."That said, she stared at Caroline as if she were trying to challenge her. However, Caroline had gotten used to Layla's tricks a long time ago and was able to maintain her composure. What Layla did meant something to the others in the room, and their eyes locked on Eddy. At first, he was stunned by her kiss, but later, he felt annoyed. In fact, he was pissed at her for doing that. The strange thing was that he had never felt this way toward her. Still, he didn't show much of it on his face. His brows merely knitted together. The other people took this as him giving her silent permission to do as she pleased. This also meant that he admitted to having a relationship with her.Those who believed that Layla would win the election became even more confident about their decisi
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 302
"I've told you. Caroline's joining the election this time just to give us something to laugh at. Even if she has two shareholders backing her up, it's still useless. It's obvious who we should be siding with just by looking around.""Yeah. Caroline's idiocy is hilarious. She actually thought that someone would take her side. The shareholders aren't fools. They'll surely support Layla now.""Layla has Eddy's support. Who does Caroline have to back her up? Her good-for-nothing husband?" Eddy was speechless when he heard them gossiping. At least these people had the common sense to lower their voices and control themselves a bit since he was present. Caroline didn't hear what they said, though. She was still busy looking through the documents and jotting down something when the room turned silent. It was as though she were an outsider, not one of the contestants. The two shareholders seated beside Caroline were Gavin and George Harper. They were cousins and were here because Morri
