Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Chapter 668

“Shut up!” Dan interrupted Sarah before she could finish. He knew what she wanted to say.

“Can’t you just wait a little longer? Once Layla takes over Collins Group, the Evans family will once again be part of the big four families. When the time comes, we no longer have to sing to Caroline’s tune.”

Sarah asked, “What about Layla?”

“We’ll leave her be, but we can’t let Eddy know about this. Eddy seems to be treating Layla a lot colder recently. At this point, we shouldn’t cause any unnecessary trouble.”

“What if Eddy no longer wants to marry Layla?”

Caroline had participated in Jude’s funeral, but Layla hadn’t even gotten an invite. Many people were already discussing Eddy and Layla’s current relationship after what had happened.

Dan explained, “That’s exactly why I asked Layla to buy Collins Group. If she can do it, it means Eddy still has feelings for her. If not …”

Sarah looked at Dan nervously.

Dan’s eyes turned cold. He said, “No, we’ll start supporting Caroline again. So remember, we need to endure everything she says.

“Then, after our plans succeed, we’ll decide if we should announce the truth that Caroline isn’t our real daughter.”

Sarah said, “… Got it.”

Meanwhile, Caroline had just hung up the phone when she saw Kirk coming upstairs.

“Are you going to rest?” Caroline asked. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yeah, I’ve sent the application materials and endorsement to your email.” Kirk hugged Caroline. You should get some rest.”

Caroline had been really sleepy these days, so she fell asleep shortly after lying on the bed. As Kirk watched her sleeping face, he hugged her in distress.

Getting Layla locked up for more than ten days was too lenient of a punishment for her.

Kirk frowned at the thought. He wanted Layla to pay for hurting Caroline, even if he fell out with Eddy because of it.

Caroline slept peacefully through the night, nestled in Kirk’s arms. She didn’t have any nightmares at all.

When she woke up the next day, it was already 10:00 am. After looking at the time, Caroline sat up on the bed in shock.

Kirk was talking to Edith downstairs. When he heard noises upstairs, he raised his head and asked, “Are you awake?”

“It’s already so late. Why didn’t you wake me up?” Caroline hurried downstairs. “I still have to go to work.”

Kirk held her down and advised, “Cheryl will be there handling things, so don’t worry. You seem really tired, so you’d better rest at home today.”

Caroline struggled against Kirk’s hold. He was right. She was tired since she hadn’t rested well in the past few days. However …

“Is it really okay to acquire Collins Group?” Caroline was still thinking about this.

She would be lying if she said the idea didn’t tempt her, but she still couldn’t believe Eddy’s second uncle was willing to endorse them.

If Caroline didn’t manage things well, the bank could ask him to pay the liquidated damages.

Knowing what Caroline was worried about, Kirk said with a smile, “Remember. He almost caused us to get a divorce. So, he should be our guarantor for this.”

Caroline chuckled. “It sounds like you know him very well. But seriously, did he choose you to be an undercover agent at Morrison Corp? Did you resign because your mission is over?”

Kirk gently tickled Caroline’s nose. “Did Gwen make you read another one of her strange stories?”

“No way. I thought of this myself.”

The two were chatting when Edith walked over with the phone. “Madam, Ms. Weiss is calling. She said she has something to ask you.

Caroline took the phone. She asked, “What’s wrong, Mom?”

On the phone, Marietta spoke in a tone different from the others. “… Carrie, I need your help with

something. But if it will put you on the spot, you can refuse.”
