Bogus Billionaire Chapter 430
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

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

"What? Is it too tough for you to handle?" Kirk glanced at Charles with eyes as cold as ice."N-no," Charles muttered as he wiped off the sheen of cold sweat on his brow. "Go and resume your work then." "Okay." Charles had just reached the door when Kirk abruptly thought of something and called out to him, making him stop in his tracks. "Caroline said that a mysterious person messaged her when she was in Macovo back then. I need you to find out who that person is." With his mouth agape, Charles waited in silence for Kirk to continue. But the latter was soon preoccupied with his work, with his head lowered over his desk. After some time, Charles couldn't wait any longer. "Sir, don't you have anything else to tell me regarding this person?""No."Kirk's curt reply cut off the sliver of hope in Charles' eyes, and he fell silent once more. Did Kirk think Charles was some kind of all-knowing divine figure? Just then, Kirk stared at him with a raised eyebrow. "What's wrong
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 437
Gwen couldn't conceal her joy at the fact that her father had been beaten up. "What happened?" Caroline texted her back. Gwen was probably still asleep now, so there wasn't a reply after the message was sent. Caroline then clicked into Marina's chatbox but saw that there weren't any new messages. After giving it some thought, she sent her a voice message. "Do you have any news?" Marina replied almost instantly. "No. Wait for a little longer. Tell your friend not to worry, because I'll definitely find out who that man's wife is. —Marina" There was nothing Caroline could do but wait for Marina's findings. After freshening up, Caroline rushed over to her company. She was early today, so there weren't many people in the elevator. She pressed the button on the floor she wanted to get on. Then, right before she pressed the button to close the elevator doors, she heard someone call out, "Wait—"Caroline froze and waited until the person entered the elevator before pressing the butt
