Chapter 210
Bogus Billionaire
Kirk didnât need Charles to finish speaking. He turned on his tablet, and a push notification about Sarahâs accusation against Caroline appeared on the big screen.
It was a video. It showed Sarah, who hadnât dressed up and looked haggard. She cried as soon as she started talking.
âI know we shouldnât air our familyâs dirty laundry in public, but we really donât have a choice. Caroline has blocked us everywhere, so we can only communicate like this. Iâm sorry for using the publicâs resources like this.â
Sarah wiped her tears away and looked straight at the camera. As if she were looking at Caroline, she put on a loving expression.
She said, âCarrie, I know youâre listening. Youâre already a married adult, so I donât want to keep pampering you. It would only do you more harm. Youâve never contributed to the family your entire life, but itâs okay. As your mother, I should be supporting and providing for you.â
She paused briefly before continuing. âBut how can you be so cruel to leave your father and me alone after you got married? Weâre still young, so we can still fend for ourselves. But we need you to support us when weâre old!â
The sound of Sarahâs tearful accusations filled Kirkâs office.
Charles felt uncomfortable just listening to this. Life was too harsh on Caroline. Her parents were simply monsters. They clearly knew why she had cut them out of her life.
Kirk narrowed his eyes, and the veins on his arms throbbed as he clenched his fists.
He looked through the comments. Most expressed pity towards Dan and Sarah or cursed Caroline for being a cruel and ungrateful daughter.
âWhy didnât you tell me about this sooner?â Kirk asked, glaring at Charles.
Trembling in fear, Charles explained. âSir, although this headline about the madam is second on the trending list, itâs nothing compared to yours.
âYouâve attracted almost 90% of the publicâs attention. I thought the most important thing right now was to deal with the publicâs opinion about your news, so I didnât inform you about herâ¦â
Kirk lightly tapped on the table with his pen. He asked, âDid you say that the news about me attracted most of the publicâs attention?â
âThatâs right, even before we did any damage control.â
âIn other words, if I release another big story to the public, I can take the heat off of Caroline?â
Charlesâ heart skipped a beat. He uncertainly asked, âSir, what are you planning to do?â
âDonât remove the trending searches and let this plece of news blow up even more. Also, invite that woman to see me tonight and ask her to dress up nicely,â Kirk ordered.
Charles asked worriedly, âBut if you do that, it will increase the risk of your exposure to the public. This will have a certain impact on expanding your business in Easton.â 1 Kirkâs expression was sullen, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. âJust do as I say.â
Charles had no choice but to obey. âYes, sir.â
Meanwhile, on set, the entire crew surrounded Daphne.
âThis glass of water is too hot. I want it warm! And these grapes arenât fresh! Get new ones! Also, you!
Youâre the female lead, arenât you? Youâre a horrible actress! Get out of here if you canât act!â Daphne barked.
The crowd remained silent, not daring to talk against Daphne. After linding out that she was the wife of Eddyâs second uncle, no one in the crew dared to disrespect her.
They didnât expect a rich manâs wife to be right under their noses.
Eddyâs second uncle owned the largest company in Sarcozla. As his wife, Daphne could bring everyone in Easton to their knees, and no
