Bogus Billionaire Chapter 122
Although the big four families were at odds with each other, they had to see each other whenever something happened.Layla's face turned pale. "How did this happen?"Caroline should have been the one who'd disappeared, not Brie."I'm not sure. I'll head over there," Eddy said. Then, he quickly left, leaving behind a panicking Layla.When Eddy arrived at the Collins family's home, he discovered Brie's situation was far more severe than Jude had described. Disheveled, she was lying on the bed as if she'd been tortured. Her entire body, especially her face, was covered in bruises to the point where no part of her was unharmed. She was muttering something, but her voice was so soft that no one could hear what she was saying.Howard was heartbroken when he saw his daughter like this."Did you find out who did this to her?" Eddy asked.Howard shook his head in distress. "No. I couldn't find anything!""What about Brie? Doesn't she know who did this to her?"Howard raised his hea

Caroline was taken aback. The amount of information in Gwen's words was a lot to process. For a while, she didn't know what to say or ask. After a while, she stammered, "Y—you guys prepared for a surprise proposal at a restaurant?""Yeah!" Gwen said regretfully, "It's probably all gone now. After all, we don't own the restaurant. It's a pity. I didn't get to take pictures and capture the moment."Caroline felt regretful as well. After a while, she pulled herself together and asked, "I passed out when Kirk arrived at the hotel. Do you know what happened after that?""I wasn't with him, so I don't know."Caroline asked worriedly, "Are the public talking about this?" Kirk had left the hotel unharmed and taken her away. There was no way Brie would give up after this."No." Gwen took Caroline's hand. "Don't worry, Carol. If Brie dares to cause any more trouble, we'll let Mr. Morrison Senior handle this.""Don't. Grandpa is old and in poor health," Caroline refused. "We'd better no

Eddy's expression darkened. He snarled, "Gwen!"Gwen said with contempt, "What's wrong? Did she expect to escape unscathed after kidnapping Caroline and dragging her to Saint Pierre Grand Hotel?""What did you say?" Eddy was utterly confused.Caroline looked at the foolish Eddy, who seemed to always come and question her whenever something happened. "Mr. Eddy, please get the details right before you start pointing fingers. I have no idea why Brie was beaten up. If you have proof that I was behind this, feel free to show it to the police.""Hear that?" Gwen giddily watched Eddy's face turn livid. "Also, Carol is married …" She picked up Caroline's hand, waving the diamond ring right in front of him."You've got to stop looking for Caroline every chance you get. Even if you're not afraid of being misunderstood, I'm worried people would call Carol a philanderer."Eddy's expression turned even darker. "Caroline, you're becoming really cruel. Even if you had nothing to do with wha

In the elevator, Eddy complained, "She's really ungrateful. Her husband acted out and caused a big problem for the Collins family. "I came all the way here to warn her, but she didn't appreciate my goodwill at all. Her best friend even showed off the ring Caroline's husband gave her."At the mention of that ring, Eddy said dismissively, "It's just a ring. I can buy a dozen of them." He was sure that the ring Caroline's husband had bought was just a piece of junk.Kirk raised an eyebrow, remaining calm.Eddy wasn't expecting Kirk to agree with him, so he continued, "She's just trying to show off her relationship. If her husband really loves her, why didn't I see him when I was in her room?" Eddy said resentfully, feeling bitterness well up in his heart, "Just you wait. After a while, she'll definitely beg Grandpa for help. We'll see if she's still arrogant when the time comes."Kirk finally spoke up. "Why?""Think about it." Eddy beamed. "Brie is Howard's precious daughter, a

Caroline waited for her blush to disappear before looking back at Kirk. She asked, "Have you heard what happened to Brie?" She didn't believe that Kirk would torture Brie to the brink of death. He didn't have what it took."Yeah," Kirk said casually."Who do you think did it?""I don't know." Kirk remained impassive."How did you get out of the hotel that day?" Caroline asked. Brie had so many bodyguards with her. It was impossible for Kirk to leave that place unscathed."The bodyguards had already collapsed after I arrived." Kirk wasn't exactly lying.Caroline stroked her chin, lost in thought. "That means there was another group of people that day. Could they be responsible for what happened to Brie?"Kirk held Caroline's hand. "Don't think about it too much.""I'm just afraid …" Caroline looked up at Kirk tearfully. Kirk's heart melted instantly, and he held Caroline in his arms, saying softly, "Are you afraid that the Collins family will direct their anger on me if th

Eddy walked in just as Howard was leaving angrily. He asked, "Grandpa, what's with him?"Jude sighed and questioned, "How's the investigation going for Brie's case?""No updates. The surveillance cameras at Saint Pierre Grand Hotel were all destroyed."Jude mused, "Who had the audacity to hurt Brie Collins?"Eddy frowned and went over to whisper to him, "Grandpa, I think Caroline's husband is highly suspicious. The case at the Saint Pierre Grand Hotel was similar to my prior investigation into him—the surveillance cameras were destroyed and the witnesses went missing. "But if her husband is the culprit, he must be a rather powerful figure."Jude stood up with his walking stick. "If he's bold enough to harm the Collins family, he must be more powerful than them. In Easton, there is only one family …"He suddenly paused. Eddy waited for an answer. "Grandpa?"Jude's eyes sparkled. "Why didn't I think of him?""Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Eddy was confused.Jude look

Kirk threw all the business cards he'd received away. "No.""You're lying," Caroline accused him with a tiny smile.He tilted his head and stared at her. She quickly wiped off her smile. "What?""Are you jealous?" He smirked at her.Her face was as red as a tomato. She denied it, saying, "No."At that moment, a man in a black suit jogged toward them. He nodded at Kirk and spoke fluent Celonish.Since Caroline had been sent abroad when she'd been eight years old, she was fluent in Celonish. However, it took her some time to figure out what the man was saying because of his thick accent. It turned out that Kirk's family had sent him here to pick them up. A car was parked across the airport. She followed the man's gaze, and her eyes landed on a Rolls-Royce. She was startled.Kirk was similarly surprised to see the car. They followed the man to the car, which confirmed Caroline's guess. "Is this your family's car?"Kirk acted normal. "No, they rented it. My dad has a big ego,

Ivan enthusiastically introduced the strangers to Caroline. "These are Kirk's childhood friends. They came here just to meet him. Avery, Bryan, this is Kirk's wife, Caroline."The young man introduced himself. "Hi, Caroline. I'm Bryan Mendeley. This is my sister Avery."Caroline reached out to shake Bryan's hand before looking at Avery Mendeley. It only took Avery a moment to shake her hand with a wide smile. "I couldn't believe that Kirk's married! I thought you were …"She lifted a brow and examined Caroline with her alluring eyes. "Caroline, you're pretty. No wonder Kirk was in a hurry to marry you."Although Caroline was receiving compliments, she felt like Avery was throwing shade at her. She looked at Kirk.He nodded at the two as a curt greeting."You guys must be hungry. Right?" Ivan gave Caroline his full attention. "Come, Caroline. Let's eat at the dining hall."Caroline was led into the dining hall. Her favorite food was served on the table.Ivan explained, "Kirk r
