Marietta sat in her study in her villa.Her countenance was as pale as ever. She held a DNA test report in her hands. The results were out. Yvonne really wasn't her daughter. She had thought that she had mentally prepared herself for this, but now that she had the results, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by it all. Yvonne wasn't her daughter. Then, where in the world was her daughter? Marietta didn't even have the mental capacity to wonder why the first DNA report had been wrong. She was trapped in her thoughts when the door burst open. "Mom," greeted Yvonne, her footsteps light as she came into the house. "I heard that you stayed in your room and refused to leave the house for the past few days. Were you busy reviewing the drafts for the short story competition?"She was so immersed in her joy that she failed to notice there was something off with Marietta. "Mom, can you tell me who the winner is?" Yvonne asked. Even though Avery had called her and told he

Every time Kirk called Marietta, it was because something major had happened. Marietta didn't bother handing Yvonne the DNA test report. Instead, she answered the call right away. "Hello," she said, picking up the phone. What Kirk said next made her heart leap into her throat. "Are you sure?" she asked as she glanced at Yvonne, who was still kneeling on the ground. "We have evidence. From the CCTV footage that we've restored, we discovered that Yvonne had indeed met the psychopath who hurt Caroline," said Kirk. "In addition to that, we showed him Yvonne's picture, and he admitted that she was the one who ordered him to make a move on Caroline." Marietta felt as though the world had just collapsed on her. She sniffed, trying to contain her tears. "What do you plan to do with her?" Kirk fell silent for a while before replying, "She's your daughter. I'll let you handle it." Marietta knew that Kirk had said that because of Caroline. But his words had an underlying m

"No! Mom, the results of the short story competition will be announced soon," Yvonne pleaded. "When I win first place, I'll be able to make a name for myself in the writers' circle."She continued, "I have a bright future ahead of me! You can't just ruin it like this!" By now, she was so frightened that she couldn't stop herself from blabbering anything that came to mind. Marietta froze when she heard those words. "What did you say? The results of the competition haven't been announced yet, so how do you know that you will get first place?" she asked. As one of the judges of the competition, Marietta herself didn't know who would emerge victorious. So, how would Yvonne know anything about it? It was then that Yvonne realized she had made a slip of the tongue. She flinched, losing the courage to look at Marietta in the eyes. "Tell me, what exactly happened?" Marietta demanded. "I'll have the organizer put an end to the competition and have them look into this if you don
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 939
No one could know about this. The results of the short story competition will be announced tomorrow. It would be the end for Yvonne if people found out that she had killed Marietta. Her supposedly bright future would shatter into a billion pieces by then. She would turn from a genius writer to a heartless murderer! No! This wasn't the life she wanted! She wanted to become famous and known around the world! Only then would she be more deserving of Adrian. A murderer wasn't fit to be Adrian's significant other. Yvonne trembled in fear as she glanced at Marietta on the floor, and a bold thought formed in her mind. She had to do one thing, for sure. No matter the cost, she had to make sure that the short story competition's results were announced tomorrow. That was exactly why …Yvonne got up from the ground. Summoning every ounce of courage in her, she dragged Marietta into the bathroom, placed her in the bathtub, and filled it with water. After that, she tidied the roo

"Argh!" Caroline shot up from bed in the middle of the night. Even Betty, who was staying in the room next door, heard her scream and rushed out of her room and into Caroline's."What's wrong?" she asked. She noticed the sheen of sweat on Caroline's forehead and sat down beside her. "Was it a nightmare?" Betty asked, her heart aching for Caroline. Caroline's hands were cold and clammy when she gripped Betty's.Warmth spread to Caroline's hands. She sighed and nodded as she threw herself into Betty's arms. "It's okay. I'm here," said Betty as she lightly patted Caroline's shoulder. "You should try to sleep." Caroline raised her eyes to look at Betty and said, "Okay." She lay down on the bed like an obedient child. Betty stayed for a while and turned to leave when Caroline's breathing steadied. But then, Caroline opened her eyes all of a sudden and asked, "Mom, will Aunty Mary be there when the results of the short story competition are announced?""That goes without s

Caroline furrowed her brows and said, "But that dream was just too real … Mom, could you please go over and have a look?"Betty wanted to say that Caroline would meet Marietta later on at the competition venue, but upon seeing how worried Caroline was, she stopped herself."Sure, I will drop by."Caroline was relieved.The two of them parted ways at the venue.Before leaving, Betty reminded Caroline, "Carrie, don't wander around the venue. Also, you guys—"Turning to Caroline's flanking bodyguards, she continued, "You had better protect her! Do you hear me?""Yes!" the bodyguards answered in unison.Only then did Betty feel reassured enough to leave.After Betty left, Caroline and her bodyguards headed into the venue. Although the bodyguards were dressed like ordinary people, they still gave off an intimidating vibe and attracted a lot of attention in no time.Other eagle-eyed people also quickly recognized Caroline."That woman … Isn't she the one who used to boast that s

Yvonne couldn't stand being ignored any longer. Especially now that Marietta was dead, she didn't have to put up a pretense anymore. Thus, she nudged Caroline with her elbow in a haughty manner. When her phone almost fell to the floor, Caroline raised her head in annoyance."Caroline, we meet again. You probably didn't know that I'm participating in this competition too. I bet you find it strange."Caroline frowned disdainfully, as if she were looking at an imbecile. She continued looking at her phone without saying a word. She still hadn't gotten a response. "Hey!" Yvonne suddenly pulled at Caroline's shirt.Caroline's bodyguards immediately stood up and glared at Yvonne. Her face paled in fear.The contestants seated in front also witnessed this.However, they hadn't seen Yvonne grab at Caroline's shirt, so they immediately put the blame on Caroline. After all, as contestants, they paid a lot of attention to their fellow competitors. They had also heard of Caroline's

Yvonne didn't dare to sit next to Caroline any longer.She could only take a step back and sit down with one seat between herself and Caroline.When she saw Caroline's calm expression, Yvonne quietly clenched her fists.She reminded herself to stay calm. She just had to wait until the announcement of the results. Then, she could get back at Caroline. The prize-giving ceremony was about to commence soon. However, Mr. Y was still nowhere to be seen.Caroline still hadn't gotten any replies to her text.Caroline listened absent-mindedly as the emcee talked about the previous competitions. She only paid attention and looked up at the stage when it was time for the judges to be introduced. As the emcee read out the judges' names, they walked up the stage, one after another.Yet Marietta still hadn't shown up, even after the emcee finished calling out the names.Caroline wasn't the only one who noticed Marietta's absence. Other people offstage noticed as well. People couldn't help

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
