Bogus Billionaire Chapter 19
"It proves just how good he is at his job. So, what did you make for us today?" Kirk changed the topic so flawlessly that Caroline did not notice it and went ahead introducing the food she made. Kirk volunteered to do the dishes after enjoying the scrumptious food she prepared. Caroline had nothing to do, so she took out her computer and searched for a movie to watch. She picked a comedy and completely forgot that another human being was present in her home as she indulged herself in the movie. When Kirk emerged from the kitchen, he was greeted by the sight of Caroline sitting on the carpet in an unladylike fashion, laughing her head off. In that instant, she did not look like the elegant and poised Ms. Evans that she usually appeared to be. Abruptly, Kirk was reminded of the time when Caroline was still Eddy Morrison's fiancée. He once flipped through an album of young Caroline attending events held by the Morrisons. She had always looked prim and proper in those pictures, as th

"Why don't you spend your time being a pushy parent on improving yourself instead?" Sarah recognized Kirk's voice right away. Raising her voice, she said, "My family's affairs are none of your business! Where are you two? Don't you dare tell me you're at Caroline's!""Don't you worry." Kirk had a bad impression of his mother-in-law. His voice dripped with bitterness. "If Caroline's your daughter, stop telling her to marry Eddy Morrison. She doesn't like hearing it, and neither do I." Sarah snorted derisively. "How dare you compare yourself with Eddy. He's the most influential figure in Osbury. In Easton, no one could—" Kirk hung up instantly. Caroline noticed his pursed lips and thought that he had gotten pissed off again. This time though, she was not afraid of him. On the contrary, she felt something warm spread in her chest. "Thank you," she said. Kirk looked up from the phone and was met with her clear, pristine gaze. He wanted to say something, but the words lodged in hi

Caroline was thunderstruck. "How can the company still be so intertwined with Morrison Corporation after so many years of in the business?" She had always thought the Evans Group had long since broken free from Morrison Corp's influence. Even if they had help from Morrison Corp, it was just the occasional business deal recommendation. Dan's face became flushed. The Evans Group had indeed contemplated becoming independent of Morrison Corporation, but the competition was too fierce. If they lost Morrison Corp's support, it would already be a miracle if they didn't suffer a loss. Earning money would be out of the question. Caroline let out an abrupt laugh. No wonder her father was so determined to kiss up to those big guns."Carrie, I don't want it to be this way either. Only you can save me now. I'm sure you wouldn't want the Evans family to be ruined either, would you?" Caroline said through her tears, "So you're willing to sacrifice me for the family?" Dan dared not meet her gaz

Without even looking up, Eddy said, "You should be at City Hall right now." Caroline took a deep breath and sat down opposite him. "I won't divorce if you're going to divest," she said. Eddy looked up and smiled. "Caroline, do you know what you're saying?""Of course I am," said Caroline calmly. "I only found out today that the Evans family is only still standing on its feet thanks to the Morrison family's support. It's indeed reasonable for you to ask for one of my kidneys." She lowered her head and her red lips formed a smile. "But, if you want me to die so that you can be with Layla, that's too much."Eddy frowned. "Caroline, don't put words in my mouth. When did I say I wanted you to die—" Caroline waved a hand and cut him off. "The money spent on the Evans Group is yours. There's nothing wrong with you wanting to divest, but at least give my family a chance to do something about it. I've done the math. As long as the company has 50 million in its accounts, that will be eno

Eddy was dying to know what kind of woman could make his uncle, who had always been indifferent toward relationships, fall in love at first sight and get married right away. Kirk remained silent. Eddy leaned closer to him and said, "Uncle Kirk, don't tell me that you won't let us see her because she's so beautiful that you want to save her for your eyes and your eyes only?" Kirk didn't deny it.Eddy's eyes widened instantly as he exclaimed, "I got it right! No way, Uncle Kirk. I'm even more curious now that you’re like this. You must let me meet her as soon as possible!" Kirk looked up at Eddy, who looked excited and was anticipating an answer. He smiled imperceptibly. "You'll meet her."After leaving the Morrison Corporation, Caroline raced home and dug into her contacts list. 50 million dollars was probably just the equivalent of a few meals to the upper class, but convincing them to lend her such a sum would be harder than moving mountains, especially when Eddy already had pla

The sound of his deep, husky voice made Caroline slowly realize that she was hugging Kirk. At once, she got flustered and hastily took a step back. Her pale face was flushed as she said, "Sorry, I …" Kirk's chest immediately felt hollow. As if nothing had happened, he said mildly, "I can lend you the money." Caroline went stiff, wondering if she had heard him correctly. “What did you say?"Kirk felt uneasy at her stare and said, "50 million dollars." Caroline frowned. "Kirk, thank you, but I'll find a way to get through this. You needn't worry.""I can help you, honestly." Kirk's gaze flitted toward her occasionally. "Actually, I am the Morrison family's …""I know you're in Morrison Corp's middle management and your yearly salary isn't exactly peanuts, but 50 million dollars is still a huge sum," said Caroline with a smile. "Unless you're an actual Morrison. But if that were the case, we wouldn't be married." "Why not?" Kirk's eyes were as black as coal. "Before, it was l

The phone screen went dark, but it lit up again after a few seconds. Kent was happy about that, but when he glanced at it again, his expression changed drastically. He shot to his feet and answered the phone, saying respectfully, "Mr. Morrison." The moment he said that, the noisy room fell into pin-drop silence.Nobody knew what the other person said, but Kent's expression remained respectful the whole time. After a while, he frowned and said, "But, didn't you say … Okay, I understand." With that, he waited for the other person to end the call. Then, he called Caroline. "Ms. Evans? I was in a meeting, so I didn't hear your call. You need to see me? Okay, let's meet up and have a nice long hat. No problem, see you tomorrow night."After putting down her phone, Caroline felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Kirk came back after his smoke and asked, "Good news?" Caroline looked up with a smile and said, "Yup, I made an appointment with someone for tomorrow." "A ma

“I came to see you today to …" Kent waved his hand dismissively and said with a sigh, "Ms. Evans, this must be your first time talking business. The rule is to drink before talking about business matters." With that, he snapped his fingers at the waiter and ordered, "Bring us the best bottle of wine you have." A moment later, the waiter brought a bottle of wine up to them and Kent took it from him, filling Caroline's glass personally. "Ms. Evans, this is my favorite red wine. Here, have a taste." Looking at the full glass of red wine, Caroline frowned slightly."What's the matter? You won't give me this pleasure?" Kent said with a displeased expression. Caroline felt helpless and had no choice but to take a small sip. Kent's expression turned more sour and he said, "You don’t seem very serious about this, Ms. Evans. If that’s how it’s going to be, I think it's best that you leave."Caroline said hastily, "No, it's just that I have a low tolerance for alcohol …" Seeing Ken
