Chapter 152
Bogus Billionaire
After the incident with the concept drafts, Avery hadnât shown up again for a long time. Caroline and Kirk could finally travel peacefully and have a nice vacation.
Seeing the date of their return getting closer, Caroline started to prepare some gifts. She gave Gwen a call. âHey, Gwen. Iâm going home soon. What do you want me to buy?â
They were good friends, so giving gifts was easy. They simply gave each other what they needed most.
âI heard that a company over there has recently developed a new phone called Dragon. Itâs specially made for games. But they wonât launch it in Easton until they get marketing feedback from Celona. Can you help me bring one back here?â
Gwen liked playing games, so she couldnât resist getting a phone specially designed for it.
âSure. Hang on, let me take a look â¦â
Caroline searched online and soon found the description of this phone. Her heart stopped when she saw that it was manufactured by SY Group.
SY Group was the largest company in Sarcozia. It was the business empire Eddyâs second uncle had created. And SY Group had developed this phone!
Caroline couldnât resist scrolling through the article, her pulse beating wildly.
When she saw that SY Group was having a press conference at 8 pm on the 19th, she was about to burst with excitement! Eddyâs second uncle would definitely attend an important press conference like this.
Gwen was a little worried when she didnât hear Caroline speak for a long time. âWhatâs wrong, Carol?â
âNothing.â Caroline clutched her chest. âIâIâll definitely find a way to get you that phone!â
Then, she hung up. She quickly looked for SY Groupâs official website and dialed the number she found there.
Soon, the call was connected. Taking a deep breath, Caroline asked, âHello, may I ask if your company is going to hold a press conference for the launch of your phone?â
Thatâs right, maâam.â
Will your president be there?â
âOf course, maâam.â
âMay I ask if I can go in alone?â
The man on the other end was silent for a moment. Thinking that Caroline was a hardcore fan of his boss, his tone changed slightly.
âMaâam, the members of the press conference have been finalized. If you donât have an invitation, it means you canât go!â After that, he hung up the phone immediately.
Caroline felt as if she had been doused in cold water. She was fretting about her predicament when she heard a knock on the door.
Thinking that it was Kirk, she went to the door happily. However, she opened the door to find Averyâs brother, Bryan, standing outside.
The smile on Carolineâs face disappeared. Thanks to Avery, she didnât have a good impression of the Mendeley family.
Bryan hurriedly spoke up before Caroline closed the door. âCaroline, Iâm here to apologize.â
Caroline frowned. Was apologizing the Mendeleysâ signature move? Why were they apologizing one by one?
âMy sister being blacklisted has nothing to do with you. I want to apologize for thinking otherwise, Bryan explained.
Caroline was confused. âHuh?â
Bryanâs mannerisms would be pretty adorable if he wasnât pretending.
â⦠So, you want to apologize for thinking that I was behind this?â
âThatâs right. Although we havenât known each other long, suspecting you like this is the same as betraying Kirkâs trust.â
Caroline was dumbfounded.

hiyan realized that he had said something wrong He looked down with a blush and said, âUh Well, Kirk did a little business when he was in school.â
What he really meant was that Kirk started managing a company at the age of 12 and made the company famous within a year Many people didnât know that the SY Group had suddenly emerged as the largest company in Sarcozia because Kirk had been managing it since his teenage years.
Caroline was very interested in Kirkâs life âReally? Did he major in business administration at college?
At the mention of Kirk, Bryan was bearing, and he relaxed âNope, he majored in medicineâ
Caroline was shocked She couldnât imagine someone like Kirk studying medicine âBack then, one of his good friends tricked him into studying that. That was the first time we saw Kuk jose something He added, âKirâs wasnât incompetent in medicine, but his friend was a true genius Kirk would be behind his friend by 01 points at every exam, which was still a big differenceâ
Caroline smiled âWhat happened after that?â
âWell, after that, his friend couldnât take it anymore and convinced Kirk to drop out.â

Bryan regdied, of course The two chatted for a while until Carolineâs phone rang, ending their conversation Caroline glanced at the screen. It was a call from Gwen, so she answered the phone âCarol âGwen said. âI just asked my colleague, and he said that itâs hard to get this phone So, itâs okay Just bring me a set of cosmeticsâ
Catoline stood up âNo way Isnât the press conference for the phoneâs launch on the 19th? I should be able to get one after the event â
âThatâs not the problem SY Groupâs phones are different. They sell them using hunger marketing. The only ones who can get their new phones are the participating business partners. Itâs regarded as a status symbolâ
Caroline frowned âSo, only those in the press conference are eligible to buy Dragon?â
Bryan, who had been taking a sip of water, coughed violently when he heard the word âDragon.
Caroline turned around and saw that Bryanâs face was red from coughing. She decided to end her conversation with Gwen âIll call you back laterâ
Î After hanging up the phone, she patted Bryanâs back. âAre you okay? How did you choke on water?
Bryanâs entire face was red. He answered, âIâm fine. Caroline, I didnât mean to eavesdrop, but⦠do you want the SY Groupâs new phone, Dragon?â
âYou know about it too?â Caroline asked âOf course, I even have an invitation to the press conference.â
