Chapter 207
Bogus Billionaire
Caroline frowned slightly. She couldnât believe this was the taste of the eloquent man who had spoken at the press conference more than a month ago.
However, the entertainment websiteâs sources were wellâfounded.
Some people had even discovered that Daphne had been playing minor supporting roles before she married.
But now, all of her parts were second or third leading roles. She could only have such connections because sheâd married Eddyâs second uncle and affiliated herself with the Morrisons.
âWhat are you looking at?â Kirk asked, quietly showing up beside her.
Caroline looked up, almost thinking the man standing before her was Eddyâs second uncle. Aside from their faces. Kirk and Eddyâs second uncle looked really similar.
âNothing important. Just some gossip.â
Caroline remembered that they had a fight because of Eddyâs second uncle, so she didnât hand him the phone. Instead, she asked, âWhat did you buy?â
âSome oatmeal and pasta,â Kirk said calmly, watching Caroline put her phone away. Then, he took the food into the room.
Sean didnât have an appetite. He said powerlessly, âThanks, Kirk. But I donât want to eat anything right now.â
Kirk shrugged. âSuit yourself.â
After that, he took Caroline to wait outside the room.
Gwen only woke up later on. When she saw Sean, she murmured, âWhat are you doing here?â
Feeling emotional Sean said, âYouâre awake.â
Hearing the voices, Caroline and Kirk walked into the room. Caroline asked, âHow are you feeling, Gwen? Do you want a doctor here?â
Gwen smacked her lips and croaked, âNo Iâm thirstyâ¦â
Sean immediately got up to pour some water for Gwen. After that, he carefully helped her sit up. âHere.
Drink some water.â
Gwen glanced at the large palm on her shoulder, and a tinge of emotion appeared on her face. She lowered her head and sipped the water.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Carolineâs face. âItâs a good thing that Sean was around, Gwen. You have to thank him for his help properly.â
Sean said shyly, âYou donât have to do that.â
Gwen noticed that sly smile on Carolineâs face, but she didnât have the energy to retort.
Caroline insisted, âShe has to. Kirk and I have something to do. You two can discuss how she can express her gratitude.â
She winked at Kirk and pulled him out of the hospital room.
Kirk looked down at both of their hands and smirked. He turned back and grabbed Carolineâs hand as well. As soon as they entered the elevator, he got a call from Charles.
When the call connected, Charles broke out in a cold sweat. He said nervously, âSir, news about you and Ms. Dawson has been leaked!â
After he spoke, he braced himself for Kirkâs massive wrath.
Kirkâs face contorted. He looked down at Caroline and tried to suppress his anger. He hissed. âWait for me there!â
Charles scratched his neck, surprised that Kirk hadnât lashed out in anger.
Caroline was keenly aware of the change in Kirkâs mood. She asked with a smile, âWhatâs wrong? Did something happen at work?â
Facing Carolineâs gaze, Kirkâs heart melted. âYeah, thereâs a problem with a project. Iâll take you home first.â
+15 BONOS Then, Caroline and Kirk set off back to the city. As she reached home and got out of the car, she received a call from her apartmentâs real estate manager.
âMs. Evans, you need to come here quickly.â
Caroline frowned and asked, âDid something happen?â
âMany people threw rotten eggs, paint, and dung at your door. We didnât have enough security personnel. Weâve already called the police and warded them off. But you must come and get this issue settled.â
