Bogus Billionaire Chapter 384
If Caroline hadn't said anything about signing a contract with Daphne, Layla wouldn't have spent 25 million on her. She could've simply taken advantage of her relationship with Kirk to bind Daphne for just five million a year. "Caroline!" Layla roared and rushed forth to grab at Caroline's neck. Cheryl ran forward in an attempt to save Caroline, but the latter stopped her and glanced around at the surveillance cameras around them."There are so many cameras around," Caroline said smilingly. "The paparazzi would be very pleased to see you beat me up, don't you think?"Only then did Layla realize that they were on a filming set. If she got on the news for beating Caroline up, she would drag her new company down. It would also affect her relationship with Eddy, which she had so painstakingly managed to mend not long ago. Slowly and begrudgingly, she let go of Caroline. "It's just 25 million dollars," she said through gritted teeth. "Don't you dare think that you can defeat

Caroline shuddered. The confusion and bitterness she felt were like countless blades stabbing at her heart. She didn't know what to do at all. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. A moment later, she muttered, "Jack, a person can have many sides. What makes you so sure of that?" Despite her question, determination shone in Jack's eyes. "Indeed. People have many sides and can hide their true faces," he replied. "But in this world, there are two things that cannot be hidden. You can't hide love, just like you can't hide a cough.""I don't know what happened between you two. But please remember that Mr. Morrison truly loves you." Although Jack found it rather amusing when he saw how Kirk suffered mentally from being in love, he earnestly hoped that Caroline and Kirk would be together until the end. He had been by Kirk's side for so many years and knew that his boss had only ever given in when Caroline was around. The fact that a proud person like him would

Caroline took a deep breath and told herself that it was all a lie. The person who had accused Kirk of marrying other women had lied to her. Even though she had reached this conclusion, it somehow made her shudder in fear of the unknown. She couldn't understand why someone would do something like that. Kirk was just an ordinary guy, after all. At most, he had a small company of his own. Even then, his father had founded the company, and Kirk was merely in charge of taking care of it. Kirk told her before that it was just a small company, and she believed it. If it had been a huge business, he could have simply taken over the company and wouldn't have needed to go out to work. Therefore, she was certain that Kirk was only an ordinary, white-collar worker. He was like a tiny fish in the ocean here in Easton. If that person had indeed lied, why had they made Kirk their target? The thought made Caroline waver. "You're back." Kirk's voice sounded from the kitchen. There was

Suddenly, the picture that the woman had sent Caroline back then popped up in her mind.A young girl in a gown had been beside Kirk, and a certain light had shone in her eyes. Caroline felt as if a blade had stabbed right through her heart. It snapped her back into reality, and she hastily pushed Kirk away from her. Her shove made his heart break a little, but he quickly recomposed himself. "Darling, what's wrong?"Caroline realized what she had done, and she placed one hand on the table for support. Her thoughts were all jumbled up, and she didn't know how to explain herself. Still, she told herself before that she had to stay calm and composed and that she would find proof before doing anything reckless. She couldn't act rashly now!After taking a few deep breaths, she finally managed to make up an excuse. "I'm fine. I'm a bit tired, that's all. I'll head upstairs to get some rest first." Kirk pursed his lips and said, "Okay."Caroline then darted upstairs as if she had b

After getting ready, Caroline walked out of the bathroom to see Kirk still asleep. Sighing in relief, she went downstairs, started her car, and drove to work. Oblivious to her, Kirk was standing by the window and behind the blinds on the second floor when she entered the garage. He silently watched her leave. Exhausted, he massaged his temples and went back to sit on the edge of the bed. Helplessness washed over him, and it weighed on his heart and mind. He wanted to do something to change this but found that he couldn't do anything at all. In the end, he picked up his phone and called Charles. "Sir," Charles chirped. He knew fairly well that Kirk had been in a foul mood for the past few days, so he had been preparing himself to receive his next orders. Hence, he had been able to wake up right away when he heard his phone ring. "Did you manage to find out anything?" Kirk's voice was dangerously low, to the point that Charles forcefully stopped himself from yawning. "The

"Is there a problem?" Caroline asked, keeping her calm. The people around her lost the courage to say anything else. They mumbled amongst themselves and left soon after. However, they started complaining again right after leaving her office. "What's wrong with her? Why is she so angry?""Of course, she's pissed! If I were her, I would have lost my mind to lose the chance at signing a contract with Daphne!" "This is exactly how people behave when they are powerless. Back then, I told my friends that I wanted to work at Evans Group, but they told me that this company wouldn't last long. "I didn't believe them and joined the team. Seeing how things are now, we'll become jobless before the next product is introduced to the market." "It isn't that bad," said Caroline. She was more or less an idol to quite a number of people, and the head of the design department had a pretty good impression of her too. "I think we stand a chance against the opposite party." The employees t
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 390
George fretted over it so much that he tossed away the documents in his hands and rushed out to go after Luke. However, Gavin called out, "Stop right there!" "Gavin, this is our final chance! If we don't withdraw our funds, we'll surely lose everything we have!" "We can't backstab her at a moment like this!"Business and morality are two different things. You can't just give up on our business just because you want to show how loyal you are to someone!" George exclaimed. The scowl on Gavin's face deepened. He waved his hand. His mind was made up. "I've decided. Listen up; if you dare to withdraw the funds, I'll cut ties with you!" His tone made it clear that he wasn't going to relent. Seeing how determined Gavin was, George stormed out of the office, clearly pissed. Gavin spun in his chair so that his back faced the door. He then shook his head helplessly at George's antics. He wouldn't betray Caroline now, even if it meant losing money. …In a restaurant, Caroline sat
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 391
"Can you wait a moment?" Caroline got up and looked toward the window seat. Adrian was too excited to tell Caroline about the feelings he had for her for the past 20 years and more. "Caroline, I …""Gwen?" After confirming that the person sitting by the window was Gwen, Caroline apologized to Adrian and rushed over. "Gwen, is it really you? What are you doing here? Also …"There were a number of beer bottles on the table. Caroline took the bottle of beer from Gwen's hand and asked, "How much did you drink?"Gwen was obviously drunk and couldn't recognize the person before her at all. She stood and tried to get her beer back, but she swayed and nearly fell. Luckily, Adrian moved fast and held her up. However, Gwen reacted to this like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She shoved Adrian away. "Go away. You men are all disgusting!"Every guest in the restaurant turned to look over at them. Adrian was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Caroline went forward to hold Gwen
