Chapter 141
Bogus Billionaire
Avery grinned, still covering her burning cheek. âYouâve finally shown your true colors. I will show Kirk how much of a vixen you really are.â
Caroline crossed her arms. âHe knows what kind of person I am better than you. Iâm just taking a page out of your book on being a twoâfaced crude.â
Avery took a deep breath. âYou have a really accurate judgment of yourself.â
Then, she added, âAt the end of the day, youâre just suspecting that Iâm involved in what happened at the swimming pool. But you donât have any proof, do you? Like I said, Iâm not stupid enough to do something like this and make Kirk hate me.â
Caroline glared at Avery. If Avery was involved in the swimming pool incident, she was indeed terrifying. She was completely different from Layla, who usually played the innocent victim.
Avery was intelligent and meticulous. She didnât leave any loose ends when she did something.
Howeverâ¦
A smile played on Carolineâs lips. There would always be a trail, and Avery would eventually slip if she had done it. âAre you admitting that you like my husband?â
âThatâs right.â Avery said, âYou donât deserve him.â
Caroline continued smiling. She turned on the faucet. Amid the splashing water, she said indifferently, âThat is none of your concern.â
âYou donât know the real Kirk at all. If you knewâ¦â
Avery raised her head. Seeing Kirk in the reflection, her face turned pale from fear. She turned around in panic. âKirkâ¦â
When Kirk strode over, Caroline had already washed her hands and was drying them.
He said, âItâs time to go.â
âOkay.â
Caroline smiled slightly and turned to Avery, asking, âYou were saying, Ms. Mendeley?â
Looking at Kirkâs dark gaze, Avery trembled all over. âNânothingâ¦â As she finished speaking, the terrifying pressure in the room immediately dissipated.
Kirk quietly looked over at Caroline, his eyes filled with tenderness. He put his arms around her waist and said, âLetâs go.â
Caroline nodded and followed Kirk back to the private room.
Avery was Juming at how intimate Kirk and Caroline were She angruly grabbed her arms, digging her nails into her flesh. The pain in her arms gradually calmed her down.
After a moment, she called someone on the phone. She said viciously, âWe stick to the planâ
After that, she looked at the palm print on her face in the mirror, her lips curving into a smug smile She thought, âJust you wait, Carolineâ Kirk will be mine!â
Kirk and Caroline said their goodbyes to Adam and Lia After that, they left the private room.
When the two walked to the entrance, Kirkâs phone rang.
âLet me get this. Wait for me right here,â Kirk said After that, he stepped aside Caroline stood in place. When she looked up, she happened to see a camera pointing at her. She smiled subtly. As if thinking of something, she walked to the front desk and told the receptionist something The receptionist nodded with a smile. Not long after, she handed a bag to Caroline.
Looking at the item in the bag, she thanked him.
She glanced in Kirkâs direction once more. He was still talking on the phone. His brows were furrowed, and he didnât seem very happy.
Caroline didnât bother him. She returned to her spot from earlier and continued to wait for him.
Feeling the wind gently blowing on her face, she looked over at Kirk and smiled.
At this moment, someone rushed over and bumped into Carplineâs shoulder. As a result, the large bag of fruits in his hand fell to the ground.
âSorry, sorry.â The man seemed to be speaking Celonish. He continued apologizing as he picked up his things from the ground.
Noticing the mess on the ground, Caroline knelt and helped him pick the fruits up.
The man looked up at Caroline in gratitude. Noticing she was from Easton, he asked, âAre you from Easton?â
Caroline smiled merrily in response. âHow can you tell?â
The man grinned. âIâm from Easton as well. Consider it an intuition.â As they spoke, they finished picking up all the fruits from the ground.
âIâm really sorry. You were kind enough to
