Chapter 122
Bogus Billionaire
Although the big four families were at odds with each other, they had to see each other whenever something happened.
Laylaâs face turned pale. âHow did this happen?â
Caroline should have been the one whoâd disappeared, not Brie.
âIâm not sure. Iâll head over there,â Eddy said. Then, he quickly left, leaving behind a panicking Layla.
When Eddy arrived at the Collins familyâs home, he discovered Brieâs situation was far more severe than Jude had described Disheveled, she was lying on the bed as if sheâd 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 âDid you find out who did this to her?â Eddy asked.
Howard shook his head in distress. âNo. I couldnât find anythingâ
âWhat about Brie? Doesnât she know who did this to her?â
Howard raised his head in dismay, tears flowing down his wrinkled cheeks âLook at her! What is she supposed to say in her condition? The doctor said sheâd been tortured for two days straight and had mentally fallen apart. Even if she knows who it was, she canât say anything!â
Eddy didnât know how to comfort him.
After standing there for a while, he could only say, âDonât worry, Mr Collins Our family will do our best to help you find out whoâs behind this â
At this moment, Brie suddenly twitched on the bed and screamed, âCaroline! Carolineâs husband is She passed out before she could finish her sentence.
Seeing this, the doctor hurriedly soothed her and brought water to hydrate her. Finally, Brie opened her eyes again.
âMr. Collins, we canât keep letting her suffer like this,â the family doctor said worriedly. âWe should take her to the hospital.â
Howard clutched his chest. He was worried for his daughterâs life, so he didnât care about any scandal this could cause. He waved his hand. âHurry up and take her there.â
The servants hurriedly arranged a ride to take Brie to the hospital.
Eddy felt sad seeing this. The dignified heiress of the Collins family was now a cripple. He wondered who would be so cruel as to do this to her.
Suddenly, Brieâs words just now crossed his mind, and his eyes widened. He thought, âHow was Caroline involved in this?â
Eddy took out his phone and called his assistant, âFind out where Caroline is right now.â
He had no choice; Caroline had blocked him, so he had to meet her himself.
At the hospital, Gwen was mesmerized by the big diamond ring on Carolineâs hand.
âOh my God, this diamond ring is so big! Itâs basically a shiny rock! Do you feel tired wearing this heavy ring? Iâll wear it for you if you are!â
Caroline couldnât help but laugh when she saw Gwen clowning around.
âHey.â Gwen was done joking around and got down to business. âWhatâs going on with you and Kirk now?â
Carolineâs face reddened like a tomato. âWeâre jâjust together.â
âWhat do you mean by âtogetherâ?â Gwen wiggled her eyebrows.
Caroline shyly yelled, âIâm ignoring you now!â
âAll right, all right. I wonât tease you anymore.â Gwen said, âIâm on board with your relationship with Kirk!â
Caroline was surprised to hear Carolineâs approval, âReally?â
âOf course, I was setting up the proposal with him at the restaurant that day. When he found out you were gone, he was so nervous. He contacted everyone he could to find you.
âAfter getting word that you were at Saint Pierre Grand Hotel, he went there without a word. He must have known that the hotel was the Collins familyâs territory, but he wasnât phased in the slightest.
*After seeing how devoted he is to you, I decided to give my approval for your relationship, albeit reluctantly.â
