Bogus Billionaire Chapter 706
Kirk continued, "Carrie, you're the kindest person in the world. All you want is a home of your own, but God has put up so many barriers between you and that tiny wish. Do you think you're the one being selfish, or is it God who's being cruel?"Caroline's tears kept falling out of her control."Kirk, stop talking …" If he kept going, Caroline would feel she didn't deserve him even more, someone who understood her so well.Kirk gave a light laugh and tweaked Caroline's nose. He waited until she stabilized her emotions before speaking, "Darling, next time, you should tell me if you have any problems. You should think about yourself more. You have to put yourself first, not me. Understand?"Caroline nodded. "Then would you … worry that I might leave you?" Caroline had never said this because she was worried Kirk might overthink it."No." Kirk kissed Caroline's fingers. "We will never part."Finally, a smile appeared on Caroline's face. "You talked about a psychiatrist …" Carolin

When they got to the balcony, Sean didn't say anything. Unable to stand it, Kirk asked, "What did you ask me out here to talk about?"Looking at Kirk, Sean burst into laughter, which only caused Kirk to look even grimmer. "Kirk, you should really look at yourself in the mirror right now." Still laughing, he continued, "The way you look now, not even Charles would be able to recognize you, even if he's by your side all the time."Kirk pressed his lips together and didn't say anything. After a moment, he said, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now."Leaning against the railing, Sean looked into the distance. "I know that. And I'm not joking with you. Ever since you found out the kind of landmine your uncle left you before his death, you've been worried to bits. I can see all that. You might not admit it, but you can't say it's not true.""What in the world are you trying to say?"Sean turned to look at Kirk. "Kirk, you're exceptional at management. Plus, you're so sm

"Darling …" Kirk's magnetic voice pulled Caroline out of her thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"Caroline shook her head. "Oh, it's nothing. Do you want to go to the company with me?" He was probably bored from staying home all day.Kirk declined, "No, it's fine."Recently, he had been trying to expedite the transfer of his business from Macldo to Easton. If he wanted to remove Morrison Corporation from the running, he couldn't rely on the Collins Group's assets. He could only rival their assets by moving part of SY Group's industry to Easton.Caroline nodded. "Okay, if you get bored staying here, call me any time.""Okay."Kirk pulled Caroline into the car. Soon, the car arrived at the Evans Group's building.Caroline got out of the car. Then, Jack watched her disappear into the building before he turned around and asked Kirk, "Sir, will you be going home or to the company?"A sneer appeared on Kirk's lips. He asked, "How long has it been since you boxed?"Jack was start

Caroline said with a smile, "I'll do my best."Cheryl knew she was trying to comfort her, so she didn't take her words to heart. "Caroline, are you going to submit this document in the afternoon? Do you want me to do it for you?""No, it's fine. I'll submit it myself," Caroline said. It would be helpful to go out for a walk. "All right. Call me anytime if you need help."Caroline nodded at her words. After watching Cheryl leave, her expression turned solemn. When the test results were ready, the psychiatrist had told her that she felt so guilty because she was a good person."Don't be so hard on yourself."Caroline laid on her chair, exhausted. She wanted to forgive herself. However, she really couldn't put the blame for Jude's death on Howard alone because Jude had taken a bullet for her.Why did people always have to go through difficult problems in life? Caroline didn't know the answer to that question. She was just so tired. She was terrified that one day, she wouldn't

Caroline retorted, "Even if you get the Collins Group, you don't have what it takes to take the Evans Group back because it's under my control. "Layla looked at her maliciously. "Really? Caroline, when I get the Collins Group, you'll discover something that'll turn your life upside down. When that happens, even the Evans family will forsake you. Not to mention the Morrisons."Caroline replied calmly, "Then, I'd better get the Collins Group so my life won't be turned upside down."Layla laughed at her words. "I can't believe you're still dreaming, Caroline. Ed has already made it clear that he will endorse me. Do you really think you have a chance? Besides, who'll endorse you? That poor husband of yours?"Caroline glared at Layla."What? Are you going to hit me? Remember, there are surveillance cameras here!" Layla challenged, swallowing. Caroline's glare was terrifying. It was like a hungry wolf staring at a piece of flesh."Why would I hit you?" Caroline pinched Layla's cheek

Caroline went home after submitting the documents. She was surprised to see that Kirk wasn't home. However, she wasn't concerned in the slightest.Although Kirk had resigned from his job, he still had his own social life. It was normal for him to be away from home occasionally. Since Kirk wasn't home, she could take this chance to buy groceries and cook him a big meal. Due to Jude's death, Caroline hadn't cooked for Kirk for a long time.Hence, she went to the farmer's market to buy groceries. When she returned home, Kirk still wasn't home. So she went to the kitchen to cook dinner.When Caroline was almost done cooking, she heard noises outside the door. She stood at the door, smiling, waiting for Kirk to enter. However, when she saw a rather disgruntled Kirk, her expression froze.Kirk hadn’t expected to see Caroline at home, and he quickly hid his anger. "What are you doing home?"Caroline replied, "I came home after getting off work. What happened to you? Did you get into a

Caroline took a look at her phone and saw that Marietta was calling her. She quickly answered the call. "Hi, Aunt Mary.""Hey, Carrie. I'm calling to apologize," Marietta said on the phone. She had lost her usual high spirits and sounded very tired. "What happened that day was Yvonne's fault. She shouldn't have treated you like that."Caroline replied, "Aunt Mary, you don't have to apologize.""No, Carrie. I won't feel at ease if I don't apologize." Marietta forced a smile. "Caroline, you're a good person. I'm sorry for what you went through that day."Caroline didn't say anything else, and Marietta remained silent as well. Caroline could feel that they could no longer return to the time when they had been as close as mother and daughter. She thought that it was a pity. However, she never regretted calling Marietta her mother because she finally understood what maternal love felt like after spending time with her."I'm going to bring Yvonne home the day after tomorrow."

"Yvonne." Marietta felt it was necessary to make things clear to her. "I may not know why you dislike Carrie, but it's all thanks to her that we were able to reunite again. "You must have a heart. I respect your preferences, but you mustn't be mean toward someone who has helped us."Seeing that Marietta was very angry, Yvonne quickly grabbed her arm and whined, "Mom, I know my mistake now. I won't do it again.""Are you telling the truth?" Marietta looked at Yvonne skeptically."Yes, really!" Yvonne had a sweet smile, and she looked well-behaved and sensible. She didn't look like she was lying at all.Marietta smiled and said, "Now, that's my good daughter."Yvonne hugged Marietta, hiding the cold glint in her eyes.…"Why are you sitting on the ground?" When Kirk entered the door, he saw Caroline sitting on the ground.Caroline raised her head and looked at him in confusion. Kirk felt his heart almost leap out of his throat at the sight."Darling," he said cautiously, as

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
