Bogus Billionaire Chapter 52
Kirk's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Oh?"Eddy scratched his head. The more he looked at the tie, the more familiar it seemed. However, he just couldn't recall where he'd seen it. He then sat down at the side and said, "Perhaps someone else wore the same one before."Kirk's tensed shoulders slumped down as he hummed in response nonchalantly. Eddy took another sip of the beer, having regained his composure. "Are you going out, Uncle Kirk?" Sparing a glance at Caroline on the screen, Kirk rubbed the spot in between his brows. "Nah, it's more interesting to observe the situation secretly."Eddy nodded. "Then I'll go out first." His temples began to throb at the thought of having a meal with Caroline at the same table. …In the banquet hall, Caroline was chatting happily with Jude, and they appeared even closer than biological relatives.When the other Morrisons saw that, they immediately came and flattered them. "Ms. Evans, you're so good at making Mr. Morrison Senior happy.

"What a shameless bitch! How dare she seduce Eddy in front of so many people!" Layla cursed inwardly.However, when she thought about how Caroline would soon die on the operating table, Layla gradually calmed herself down.At the head table, Caroline withdrew her gaze and leaned slightly to the back. "Since you don't want to tell me, forget it, then."She could just ask the staff here. Someone would definitely know where Kirk was. Seeing how indifferent she was, Eddy felt triggered. Why couldn't she please him when she could do so for everyone else?Just as Eddy was about to lose his cool, he saw Brie coming over with a glass of red wine. She shot him a smile and then looked toward Caroline. All this time, Brie had been thinking of ways to regain the spotlight after being overshadowed by Caroline earlier at the entrance. She'd inquired about Caroline's present for Jude earlier and found that it was a painting worth one million dollars. She'd immediately thought of how to humi

"Show it to us, then." Brie signaled at the staff member. The staff member didn't move and looked at Jude. Jude waved his hand. "Go ahead. I'd like to see Carrie's gift for me too."Only then did the staff member step away and bring the poster tube over.Upon unfolding it, they found that it was a piece of art done by Zach Zimmer, who wasn't well-known in the industry. If Brie hadn't bid on the painting out of spite, she wouldn't have known about such an artist.Seeing it at this moment, Brie curled her lips into a contemptuous smile. She pointed at the painting disdainfully and said, "Caroline, is this what you've prepared today? Look at its quality. It's not even on par with Mr. Morrison Senior's status. Don't you feel bad when he's done nothing but dote on you?" Hearing what she said, the others also started to whisper about it. "So much for doting on her, but in the end she gifted him a painting that was done by a nobody." "No wonder Mr. Eddy doesn't like her. She may

The butler approached Jude discreetly. "Mr. Morrison Senior, seeing that the antique vase is rare and precious, should we send it home for safekeeping purposes?"It was a sound suggestion, so Jude complied. "Have someone send it back at once."Jude didn't press further. Caroline let out a sigh of relief and looked at the butler gratefully. The butler merely nodded at her before returning to the task at hand.Meanwhile, the others jumped on the occasion to coddle Jude."What a fine addition to your collection, Mr. Morrison Senior.""How thoughtful of Ms. Evans.""I know, right? Mr. Morrison Senior is so lucky to have a future daughter-in-law like her."Jude was overjoyed to hear these compliments. Brie, who'd been eager to make a toast to Jude, was pushed out of the way by the crowd. Her face was twitching because everyone flocked toward Caroline. She admitted that Caroline was more beautiful than her, but how was Caroline wealthier than her too? How dare she?Brie took anot

Caroline held onto Kirk's collar. Her eyes were still misty.Kirk was annoyed by Eddy's interruption. However, he had no choice but to suppress his anger. He got up, tidied his shirt, and went out. Caroline couldn't hear what he said to Eddy, but after a short while, she could hear footsteps leaving.She got the hint right away. Kirk was buying her time so that she could leave. Hastily, she made herself presentable. She opened the door slightly to make sure no one was in the corridor. Then, she made a beeline to the bathroom.Inside the toilet cubicle, Caroline took out her mirror to fix her makeup. From her reflection, she saw a woman with a rosy cheek and hazy eyes, blossoming like a rose. The heat returned to Caroline's cheeks, and she could feel Kirk's tantalizing breath on her ears. Caroline took a deep breath to calm herself. Just as she was about to get out of the cubicle and check on Kirk, she heard her mother's voice."Thank you so much for that idea, Layla. Once Carol

Caroline's furious glare sent chills down Layla's spine. For the very first time, Layla saw so much hatred in someone's eyes. It was so overwhelming that it could kill someone."Caroline, what are you doing?"Caroline laughed and let go of Layla's hair slowly. "You want me to marry Eddy, don't you? All right then. I'll tell everyone about it now. And I'll say that you're my bridesmaid. You'll bear witness to my becoming Eddy's rightful spouse. "All that love, happiness, and blessings will forever be out of your reach. You swore that oath in front of everyone. If you want to marry Eddy, Grandpa would be the first to oppose it."Layla's face turned even paler. Still on the floor, she tried to grab Caroline's heels. "You bitch! You crazy bitch!"Caroline ignored Layla's insult and left. She walked along the corridor until she'd finally reached a quiet spot. Then, that tough facade of hers cracked. She slumped against the glass wall. The glistening surface reflected a defeated woma

Prompted by his words, Caroline opened the bag. Instantly, she saw a property deed inside. When she flipped to the first page, she found her name printed boldly on it.Excited, she quickly read further. The deed was for 103 Bishop Street in Hectafleur, the same neighborhood of villas where Caroline's parents lived. This was the very same unit they'd visited the other day."Are you mad?" Caroline shot upright. "You actually bought it? How much did you spend? Where did you get that kind of money?"Kirk grinned. He rubbed circles on the back of Caroline's hand. "Didn't you like the villa?"Caroline got annoyed by his haughtiness. However, she softened her tone. "Yes. But even if I like it, you can't spend money like it's nothing. Every aspect of marrying and living together costs money."Kirk laughed. "And you have a married life with me?"These words sounded great to Kirk. It was completely different from the other day. It had upset him when Caroline had said that they were only

No! There was a voice screaming in Caroline's mind. She would have to announce her marriage to Eddy soon. She couldn't accept such an expensive gift now.But …Caroline ducked her head and looked at the proof of Kirk's sincerity. She looked up again and regarded Kirk's features. Her thoughts were all a mess. Her eyes filled with tears yet again."What is it?" Kirk tilted Caroline's head up. His tone was filled with affection but also a slight irritation. "You're such a crybaby."After saying that, Kirk kissed Caroline lightly on the temple. The feeling of being treasured made Caroline's heart sing. "I'm not …" Caroline pushed Kirk away and stepped backward. She was trying hard not to be seduced by him. "I should head back. If I stay too long, Grandpa will look for me."Kirk watched Caroline leave and stared at the discarded property deed. He frowned.…Caroline was unsettled. Her footsteps were so rushed that she nearly crashed into Eddy as he walked over.Eddy ducked as
