Bogus Billionaire Chapter 295
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

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

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
