Bogus Billionaire Chapter 428
By the time Caroline recovered, half an hour had already passed. Everyone else was waiting in the dining room, not daring to make a sound. They silently watched Kirk, who had been by Caroline's side the whole time.Angelo wiped his tears and said in Macovian, "How touching."Gwen secretly asked Sean what Angelo had said. After getting an answer, she couldn't help grimacing."Touching? What's touching about this? If a man really loves a woman, he should keep himself in check."Angelo was confused. "But that gentleman seems to really like that lady. This is the love I've always wanted."The reason why I haven't gotten married despite having many girlfriends is because I don't have someone who makes me feel the emotion of love."Gwen's expression was dark. But she had to admit that even though she knew the inside story, she often felt like Kirk loved Caroline. "It was precisely because of this that she was even more upset. She didn't understand men at all.If he loved her so mu

"I know that you'll be on Caroline's side as her friend. But I must tell you this—Kirk's issues are complicated. It can't be explained in one or two sentences. "You'll only make things more complicated if you get involved. Besides—" Sean looked straight at Gwen.His piercing gaze made Gwen's heart pound uncontrollably, and she stammered, "B—Besides what?""Do you think Kirk will hurt Caroline?" Sean smiled gently.Gwen pursed her lips. As she looked at his sincere gaze, she couldn't go against his will. The temperature on her cheeks slowly rose. Worried about being seen through, she impatiently shook off Sean's hand. "Okay, I got it. I won't get involved. You never stop nagging. I shouldn't call you Dr. Yates anymore. I'll call you Grandma Yates instead."Sean wasn't annoyed by her nickname at all. Instead, he grinned. "You can call me whatever you want, as long as you enjoy it." After a pause, he continued, "But only you can call me that."His exclusive claim tugged at

Kirk's gaze remained soft. He gently caressed Caroline's trembling body as if comforting a child. He said patiently, "I'll explain things to you, but please give me some time, okay?" He would think of the perfect way to solve this so his actions wouldn't leave a scar in Caroline's heart like a nail.Caroline slowly let go of Kirk's collar. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks. She held her face in her hands and sobbed. It was as if she wanted to let out all the heartache and grievances she had suffered during this time."How can you be so cruel, Kirk? Do you know how I've lived during this time? "Why can't you just tell me the truth? Either you tell me you don't have a wife in another country, or you do. "It doesn't matter which answer you give! It's much better than the vague answer you're giving now!"Kirk's heart ached as he watched Caroline's shoulders shake with her sobs. He had to use every bit of his willpower to restrain his emotions and not tell Caroline the truth

They sat facing each other as they enjoyed the food in silence. Now that Gwen had obtained evidence, they decided on a date for them to return.Caroline and Gwen insisted on purchasing the tickets to go back themselves. Kirk and Sean had to find a way to get the right tickets so that all four of them could travel back together. This time, they learned from experience. Sean would persuade Caroline about it, while Kirk would talk to Gwen. It was a brilliant idea. Kirk hadn't even said anything when Gwen raised her hands in the air in surrender. On Caroline's side, though, Sean had to put in some effort to convince her to give him the details of the flight. He had a way with words, and she eventually relented. When they got on the plane, Gwen whispered into Caroline's ear. "Why do I feel like we've fallen into their trap?" Caroline fell silent at her words. In the middle of the flight, Kirk sat down beside Caroline and said, "Darling, there's something I want to discuss with

The poor and pitiful expression on Mia's face made Gwen come to a realization. Even if she told Sean that Mia had caused her to get suspended from work, Mia would still make up lots of excuses. If Sean questioned Mia, she would put the blame on Gwen. The fact that Mia was capable of such a feat meant that she was immensely crafty. She would have had a bright future ahead of her if only she had taken the right path. Gwen inhaled deeply and found that she wasn't that angry at Mia anymore. "Where's your mom?""Why do you want to see her?" Mia asked, cautious. Just then, her mother walked out of the kitchen. "Do we have guests?" she asked.Then, her expression changed when she saw Gwen and the others. "Didn't I tell you before that my daughter won't ever appear in your sight again? Why are you people here?" "Because your daughter got me suspended from work.""Nonsense!" The hostel owner retaliated right away. "My daughter would never do something like that." "Go ahead an

Mia's mother looked all anxious when she heard what Caroline said. "Did Mia cause you other kinds of trouble?" "Yes, indeed," said Caroline as she nudged Gwen. "When we were in Macovo, you said that it was Gwen who pushed Mia, right?" There was no doubt that Mia's mother remembered this. It was precisely what had drastically changed her impression of these four young people here. "To be honest, Gwen didn't push your daughter at all." Caroline spoke slowly and clearly. Mia's mother instantly turned to look at Mia doubtfully. "Mia?" Panic flashed across Mia's eyes, but she calmed herself down in the blink of an eye. "Mom, if Caroline insists that Gwen didn't push me, so be it." "What do you mean 'so be it'?" Gwen was pissed now. "I never pushed you!" Mia pouted her lips. "It's been a long time since it happened, so please don't bring it up anymore. If you think you didn't do it, we'll think of it as the truth." "I—" Utterly pissed off, Gwen felt like slapping Mia acro
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 434
Mia's mother never thought that Mia would say something like that. She slapped Mia across the face and hollered, "How could you say something like that?"Upset that her mother had just slapped her, Mia covered her cheek with one hand. She snapped, "What? I only wanted something of my own. You were taken away by a man, so what makes you think that I can't snatch away someone's man?" That said, she darted out of the hostel and vanished from their sight. Mia's mother apologized to Gwen profusely while looking in the direction of the door. "Sorry! I'm so sorry, Ms. Jameson! Please leave me your number so that I can apologize to you officially once I've settled things here." There was no doubting her sincerity, and Gwen didn't want to trouble her further. After all, Mia was the one who started all of this.Gwen was an adult, so she shouldn't be blaming Mia's family for what Mia done. "You should go after her," she told Mia's mother. "Thank you!" After thanking Gwen, Mia's moth

What if the mysterious person was a love rival? What if that person had the same thoughts as Mia and sent her all those messages to sow the seeds of doubt between them so that they would quarrel and go their separate ways? Wouldn't that person get precisely what they wanted, then? But … it didn't make sense. If that person had made up nothing but lies, why would Kirk's status in Macldo be shown as "married"? Besides, Kirk had failed to give her a clear explanation. In fact, he was rather evasive when she brought this up. It could only be said that there was something off on both sides of this story. Caroline placed her hands on her head to sort out her thoughts. Soon, she managed to come up with an idea. She couldn't contact Dolly, so she might as well try to find out who this "wife" of Kirk's was. Caroline took out her phone to message Marina. Her finger stopped abruptly before pressing the "send" button when she was suddenly reminded of something. Caroline deleted

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
