Bogus Billionaire Chapter 59
No! There was a voice screaming in Caroline's mind. She would have to announce her marriage to Eddy soon. She couldn't accept such an expensive gift now.But …Caroline ducked her head and looked at the proof of Kirk's sincerity. She looked up again and regarded Kirk's features. Her thoughts were all a mess. Her eyes filled with tears yet again."What is it?" Kirk tilted Caroline's head up. His tone was filled with affection but also a slight irritation. "You're such a crybaby."After saying that, Kirk kissed Caroline lightly on the temple. The feeling of being treasured made Caroline's heart sing. "I'm not …" Caroline pushed Kirk away and stepped backward. She was trying hard not to be seduced by him. "I should head back. If I stay too long, Grandpa will look for me."Kirk watched Caroline leave and stared at the discarded property deed. He frowned.…Caroline was unsettled. Her footsteps were so rushed that she nearly crashed into Eddy as he walked over.Eddy ducked as

Eddy's body shuddered violently with anger. He looked at Caroline as she stumbled away. Suddenly, he felt that the distance between them was getting larger. It felt like they were worlds apart.He felt a strange sense of panic. Instinctively, he wanted to run after her."Eddy …" Layla's voice made him stop. She rushed to push her wheelchair forward from where she'd hidden and listened to them.Eddy turned around. He saw Layla's swollen left cheek. It was then that he remembered he'd wanted to get back at Caroline for it."Sorry, I …"Layla cut him off. It seemed like she was trying to hide something. "Eddy, can I … Can I ask you for a favor?"Eddy was feeling guilty for forgetting about getting justice for Layla. When he heard this, he nodded quickly. "Tell me.""Caroline said she wants to announce your marriage at the birthday banquet. She said it was a surprise for Grandpa."Eddy frowned. "What does she mean by that?"Layla shook her head. There were tears in her eyes. "Most

Instead of answering, Caroline kept Jude guessing. She lifted a wine glass and clinked it several times. The room fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Caroline.Caroline dragged herself to the stage despite her injured foot. She said into the microphone, "Everyone, I would like to use the opportunity of Grandpa's birthday to announce some good news."As she said this, she shot a glance at Eddy. Everyone in the audience noticed this action. They got the message immediately. Excited, they encouraged Caroline to make her announcement.The people who'd be affected by the marriage each wore a different expression. In the lounge, Kirk's face was as black as thunder as he watched the surveillance footage.He felt close to losing his cool."This matter is very important to me." Caroline smiled warmly. It looked as though she was thinking about the past. "I've been waiting for this day ever since I was a little girl. I even thought I wouldn't make it to this day. But it's here now!

The moment Caroline said this, the crowd burst into an uproar."What? Is Caroline really married? And she didn't marry Eddy?""Is she really giving up on the chance to become Eddy Morrison's wife? How can this be? Everyone wants that position. Is she really that foolish?""There were rumors that Caroline married an average Joe. Could it really be true?"All this gossip spread across the venue.Across the distance between them, Kirk stared at Caroline, who stood under the lights. He wanted to go up and hug her. The urge was stronger than what he'd felt before. Yet he couldn't do it because he was also a member of the Morrison family.Below the stage, everyone was still discussing the matter in a raging flurry. Their chattering didn't stop.Caroline raised a hand, signaling them to quiet down. She confessed honestly, "My husband is just an average guy. He's not from one of the four great families, and he's not from a rich family either. "Since we're already married, we want to

Eddy felt like his heart had been hit by a hammer. He tightened his fists.Jude asked Caroline again, "Does that man really treat you well?"Caroline affirmed it and lowered her head. Her fair skin reddened as she blushed.Jude had once been in love himself. When he saw her reaction, he swayed. His breathing came faster."Dad!" Thomas quickly went forward to support Jude's back. He patted Jude's back to soothe him.Caroline scooted closer. "Grandpa …"Jude's breathing slowly steadied. He lifted a hand and caressed Caroline's cheek with it. "I'm fine … Just fine …"Caroline's eyes went red with tears. "Grandpa, I didn't mean it. You can hit me or scold me. You can do anything. Just don't get mad and affect your health."Jude chuckled and said, "Silly girl. I'm happy that you told me about this. But I care about you the most. I'm just so worried because I don't know what kind of man you married. Can I meet him?"Caroline was overjoyed. She was about to answer, but then she shut

Layla stared at Kirk's cold figure. As she did, he brushed past her.She'd heard Sarah complain numerous times before. Sarah had talked about Caroline's head being muddled for marrying an ordinary person. Thus, Layla had thought that the man was ugly and poor. Who would have thought that he was even more impressive than Eddy?Layla clenched her fists tightly, and her nails cut into her flesh. Only after that did her envy subside. But what good were looks? Caroline's husband was still just a poor man!…Kirk carried Caroline into the car before setting her down.Caroline kept stealing glances at him. She noticed that his lips were pursed into a thin line. He was probably mad, so she said warily, "Did I … cause you a lot of trouble?"Based on the plan, Caroline was supposed to announce her marriage to Eddy.Yet, when she'd been on stage, she remembered the villa Kirk had bought her and Sean saying that Kirk wanted to give her a home. Thinking of all this, Caroline forgot about

Caroline finally fell asleep late in the night.Kirk went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. It was only after two hours under the water that the desire was washed away.When he came out, he saw Caroline sleeping on the bed. Only her face was above the covers. In sleep, she wasn't like she usually was when awake. She frowned instead of smiling. It was as if she had some difficult problem she couldn't solve.Kirk couldn't help but kiss her forehead.When he straightened, he found himself aroused again. Annoyed, he went downstairs and stood in the cool breeze.Kirk's phone rang as he reached downstairs.Seeing the caller ID on the screen, his expression darkened. "Dad.""I knew you wouldn't be asleep yet," Ivan Morrison said. "How's business in Easton?""I'm buying several large makeup companies." Kirk's voice was cool. "I think they'll be settled next month. After that, I'll proceed to the next target."Ivan laughed. "I knew it would be fine as long as you were handling it.

Eddy huffed. "I have to admit, playing hard to get really worked. I honestly started caring about you a little."He looked at the back of Caroline's head and inhaled sharply. His words were all coldly mocking.Caroline turned to stare straight at Eddy. Her gaze seemed to look right through him. "Eddy, don't think you're all that. In my eyes, you're nothing but a pile of shit!"Eddy was stunned to hear Caroline say something so crude. After a long while, he turned red with rage. "Unrefined! You're so vulgar, Caroline! It seems you've been tainted after spending so much time with that lout of a husband you have. You're even becoming so boorish!"Caroline smiled mockingly. "Yes, we're unrefined and boorish. But compared to you, a well-dressed beast, we're at least living honestly!""You!" Eddy was so furious that he wagged a finger. "You're really something! I didn't know you had such a sharp tongue! And to think I pitied you for hurting your ankle. It seems you deserve it!"After s

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
