Gwen burst out laughing. "And you tell me you don't have feelings for him. You're thinking on behalf of him already.""Gwen!" Caroline's cheeks turned red.After recomposing herself, Gwen told her, "Fine! I won't go after Sean then." She sighed and added, "What a shame! You'll have to find me another handsome guy as compensation!" Caroline could finally sigh in relief. "That's not a problem. I can find you any type of guy that you want." They chatted and giggled their way back to the private room. Once they entered the room, Kirk's gaze automatically fell on Caroline. Noticing this, Sean stood from his seat and asked, "It's still early. Why don't we go to the movies?" "No, thanks." Gwen wanted nothing to do with Sean now, so she appeared to be distancing herself from him. "Carol and I are going shopping. Thanks for the treat!" Her reply took Sean by surprise, but he was quick to respond. "Let Kirk and I go with you. We can help you carry your things." Sean regretted his w

After Brie had left the Faladorian restaurant, the more she thought about the incident, the angrier she became. She didn't have the guts to go and meet Kirk, but Caroline was already acquainted with Kirk's good friend. How did any of these make sense? No. She couldn't just stand by idly. She took out her phone and dialed someone's number. "Greg?" "Hello, Ms. Collins." "Find out who Caroline's husband is!" She wanted to send him pictures of Caroline cheating on him with other men everywhere she went. That way, he'd surely teach Caroline a lesson. "Ms. Collins." Greg Wilson forced a laugh. "Aren't you just making things difficult for me? Last time, the Morrisons themselves tried to find out who her husband was, but they failed. Even if I managed to discover his identity, I might lose my life doing it." Brie straightened her shirt. "Really?" Greg sighed. "I'm only telling you this because you're one of my most loyal patrons. There aren't many who are aware of this. Eve

Caroline kept thinking about Kirk's words, which had left her hanging. If it weren't for the fact that she'd received some news about the contest, she would've forgotten that the results were going to be announced soon. This contest was especially grand. It was the first time these major brands came together to organize a packaging design contest of such a huge scale, after all. The announcement venue was as spectacular as an award ceremony. Gwen took in the sight of the tables full of desserts and clucked her tongue in satisfaction. "As expected of an event organized by such big brands, even the desserts here are from well-known manufacturers." Caroline tossed her a sideways glance. "Since when were you so interested in food?" With a guilty face worthy of a convict, Gwen tried to explain herself. "We've been going out for food all the time these days. I've become a foodie." Caroline didn't doubt what Gwen said. She simply walked around and found a seat for herself while G

Caroline found it strange too, but she busied herself with calming Gwen down. She didn't put much thought into it. Soon, the host walked up to the stage, and everyone fell silent. After delivering a speech, he said, "Next, let us invite Venusta's CEO to come on the stage and announce the contestant who won fifth place!" A man about 40 years old with a balding crown walked up the stage and announced, "In fifth place, we have Lucy Quill."The audience applauded.Gwen inched closer to Caroline and whispered into her ear. "They're turning it into an award ceremony." Caroline smiled and kept her eyes focused on the stage. She'd be lying if she said that she wasn't nervous. This contest was especially significant to her. In no time, the person who'd won third place was making her way down the stage. Caroline's heart palpitated wildly. "We're left with the second and first places now," whispered Gwen as she gripped Caroline's hands. "Carol, I'm sure you'll win this!" She'd barel

A chill ran down Gwen's spine. She started to worry for Caroline.However, Caroline seemed as if she were unaware of the predicament she was in. Her tone was relaxed and sincere when she said, "Of course, I'm happy that she's won with the skills she has." The smile on Layla's face faltered. Nobody besides herself knew exactly how she'd gotten first place. After hearing what Caroline said, the crowd started applauding once again. The way she spoke was sincere and magnanimous. Compared to Layla, Caroline was straightforward and big-hearted. Naturally, she deserved some praise and respect from them. After giving out the awards, the top five contestants and the CEOs of the sponsoring brands took a group photo together. Layla intentionally waved the trophy in her hands beside Caroline to irk her. Her efforts were in vain because Caroline wasn't affected in the least and simply looked at the camera. Multiple clicks sounded from the camera. The photographer took a great many shot

Caroline clicked on the comments section to see rows of compliments. "Wow! Layla's design is so pretty! When will the brands use this design for their packaging? I'm definitely going to buy more!""I only focus on the ingredients of the products, but this design is simply gorgeous. If they use her design, I'd be the first to grab one!""Back then, I thought that the Evans family only had one daughter, Caroline. Who knew that they had another one called Layla? She even won the first prize, yet Caroline only got second. It seems to me that Layla is better than Caroline.""Eddy Morrison's taste says it all.""Yep, we're so far behind compared to her. Eddy Morrison's choice could never go wrong! Even though the Morrisons haven't made an official announcement about their relationship yet, we've seen pictures of him going out to meet Layla.""The thing is that Layla completed this design even though she's sick! Caroline can't even be compared to a patient. She must've gone mad from th

An hour later, Charles arrived downstairs in a hurry. He stood before Kirk and greeted him respectfully, saying, "Mr. Morrison." Kirk tossed the USB flash drive over to Charles, who inserted the flash drive into his computer and opened it, only to find only one file. He clicked on it to find the winning design draft as well as several unfinished sketches. From these sketches, he could see the step-by-step process of the model's development.Charles looked at Kirk, puzzled.Kirk explained, "These are Caroline's sketches. Every time she finishes one, she'll upload it to her laptop."Charles opened the last sketch, which happened to be the final draft. It was precisely the same as Layla's. He understood the situation immediately. "So … the winner copied Mrs. Morrison's design? No … the brushwork is the same. This is the original draft!"So, Layla had stolen Caroline's work and submitted it as her own!Kirk's gaze was stormy. It was hard to tell what he was feeling at the moment
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 106
After Caroline washed up, she went downstairs to make breakfast. As she put the plates on the table, she was thinking about how to ask Kirk what he'd meant by not wanting to be friends. However, when she looked up and saw him, her mind went blank.Kirk had changed into a casual outfit, lacking his usual upper-class style. He looked more relaxed and carefree. "What are we eating today?" he asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down at the table.Caroline hurriedly looked away, her heart beating wildly like a deer in headlights. For a moment, she felt like they were acting like an old married couple. She answered, "Pasta. Let me get some for you.""I'll get it myself," Kirk responded, walking into the kitchen.Caroline stood where she was, watching Kirk put some pasta on his plate with swift movements. Then, he said, "We'll meet my dad in a few days."Caroline was surprised. "Is your father that anxious to meet me?"It might take several days to get to the bottom of the is

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
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 1395
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
