Bogus Billionaire Chapter 45
Caroline felt like she was having an out-of-body experience. She drifted through the streets aimlessly.In the past, her parents had said many hurtful things. Each time, she'd felt a stinging pain from it.This time, though, she felt nothing. In fact, she felt a little numb.It was as if … they were behaving like their true selves now.The affection they'd shown her in the past had only been due to her status as the future Mrs. Eddy Morrison. It was all because of the Morrison family. It wasn't because they were a family."Hey," Sean suddenly said to Kirk. He was resting in the back seat. "Isn't that your wife?"Kirk immediately opened his eyes and looked out the window.There was a young woman there. She looked dejected as she walked down the street alone. She seemed pitiful and helpless."Stop the car."Sean muffled a laugh and stopped the car."Hey, Ms. Evans!"Caroline whipped her head up. She quickly saw Kirk sitting at the back of the car. Her icy limbs immediately w

Caroline raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Didn't you just meet Kirk, Dr. Yates?"Neither Sean nor Kirk had a response to that.After a beat, Sean regained his ability to speak. "What I mean is … It means something special when a man says he wants to give a woman a home—""Shut up!" Kirk warned, his expression stern.Sean promptly closed his mouth."Ignore him. He likes talking nonsense."Caroline shook her head. "It's fine. Dr. Yates is a good conversationalist. But based on the way you interact, it doesn't seem like you two just met. You seem like old friends."Sean was stunned. He'd never expected someone as innocent as Caroline to be so observant. Hence, he didn't dare to say anything else during the ride.Soon, they arrived at their destination and got out of the car.The middleman had already arrived.When he saw them, he walked up. He said enthusiastically, "This way, please."The three of them followed the middleman into the villa.The villa was three stories tall. I

Caroline pushed Kirk away and turned her back on him. "Don't treat me so well."She would … Caroline's thoughts went wild. She couldn't help but feel a trace of hope in this world again. Kirk's eyes narrowed, and he clasped Caroline's shoulder. "What's with you today? Did someone wrong you while you were out?"Caroline seemed to be acting really differently today.She looked to one side and pushed herself to stop crying. She bit her lip forcefully. "We'll have to divorce at some point. I don't want there to be too much fuss when the time comes."The day she announced her marriage to Eddy would be the same day she divorced Kirk.Then, Kirk would be able to find the owner of that lipstick. As for her, she would leave this world with no more attachments.After all, no one wanted her.Kirk's brows were tightly furrowed. There was a ball of rage in his chest. He stared after Caroline, his gaze nearly piercing through her.Sean noticed their exchange and walked over. "What are yo

Gwen was sharp enough to notice there was something wrong with her best friend. She held Caroline's hand and said, "Of course that's fine. You can stay as long as you want. Let's go then."Caroline and Gwen got into the car.Gwen drove slowly and kept shooting glances at Caroline.Meanwhile, Caroline stared out the window vacantly. She looked like a broken porcelain doll.Gwen felt her heart ache as she looked at Caroline. "Carol, why did your dad want you home so urgently? What happened?"Caroline looked over and smiled softly. "They want me to marry Eddy."Gwen was stupefied. "Why do they insist on having you marry that douchebag?""Because they want the Morrison family's help in taking the Evans family back to the top." Caroline's voice was neutral, as if she were talking about someone else's affairs.The way she behaved made Gwen even more pained. "You didn't agree, did you?""I did."Gwen abruptly braked. "Carol, are you nuts?"Caroline chuckled. "If I hadn't agreed, wa

Brie stepped out of the car in her high heels as the crowd watched in anticipation.She wore a black evening gown. It was cut close to her body, showing off her curvaceous figure. As she walked, her fair feet flitted in and out of sight at the slit of her dress. She looked elegant and proper.Someone couldn't help but comment in a low voice, "My God, is this the same nouveau riche young lady I remember?""How well Brie is showing off her assets! And what a figure she has!""When did her taste in fashion become so good?"When Brie heard these comments and more, she smiled in satisfaction.This was the exact reaction she'd been aiming for.For the past few days, she'd been practicing her posture every day. She'd picked out this dress and make-up to let everyone know that she was even more proper and sophisticated than Caroline!She happily picked up the pen. Just as she was about to sign her name in the guest book, there was a huge commotion behind her.Brie frowned. When she tu

Caroline ignored Eddy's gaze. She smiled. "Mr. Morrison, you have such a poor memory. Grandpa has always saved me a seat at this table."Calling Eddy Mr. Morrison pulled the distance between them even further.Eddy pressed a hand to his forehead. He hated Caroline calling him that. In his memory, she'd always called him Eddy.Layla coughed a few times. This attracted Eddy's gaze. "What is it? Are you unwell? Should I send you home first?"Layla shook her head with difficulty. A malicious light flashed in her eyes. She was showing off that Eddy was worried about her.Caroline had long become immune to her actions. She was about to leave when Layla said, "Today is Grandpa's birthday. I'd like to stay. Caroline, you won't make me leave, right?"Caroline turned her head. Before she could say anything, Jude said without mercy, "I never invited you."Eddy stood before Layla. "Grandpa, Layla means well. How could you talk to her like that?"When Caroline saw this, she remembered the f
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 51
Layla trembled all over. When she flitted her eyes to Eddy for help, she saw Jude's frosty gaze. Her heart sank in an instant. "Were you really thinking of coveting your cousin-in-law?" Jude frowned. There was no longer any trace of a smile on his face. Layla panicked at once and hurriedly explained, "N—No. Mr. Morrison Senior, I didn't ...""Make an oath, then."Layla bit her lip. Under everyone's intense gazes, she said slowly, "Okay. I, Layla Evans, swear that if I ever get married to my cousin-in-law one day, I'll get knocked down by a car when I go out." As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her head and stared at Caroline maliciously. Caroline crinkled her mouth into a faint smile. Since Layla wanted her to die, then she would make Layla unable to marry Eddy for the rest of her life. Even if Layla managed to get married to him in the future, she would have to live in fear every day because of her oath."With this oath binding you, I believe you won't go astray. To

Kirk's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Oh?"Eddy scratched his head. The more he looked at the tie, the more familiar it seemed. However, he just couldn't recall where he'd seen it. He then sat down at the side and said, "Perhaps someone else wore the same one before."Kirk's tensed shoulders slumped down as he hummed in response nonchalantly. Eddy took another sip of the beer, having regained his composure. "Are you going out, Uncle Kirk?" Sparing a glance at Caroline on the screen, Kirk rubbed the spot in between his brows. "Nah, it's more interesting to observe the situation secretly."Eddy nodded. "Then I'll go out first." His temples began to throb at the thought of having a meal with Caroline at the same table. …In the banquet hall, Caroline was chatting happily with Jude, and they appeared even closer than biological relatives.When the other Morrisons saw that, they immediately came and flattered them. "Ms. Evans, you're so good at making Mr. Morrison Senior happy.

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
