Chapter 211
Bogus Billionaire
âMs. Dawson, why donât you go home and rest for the day?â The director smiled, glancing at the reporters outside, whom security guards had blocked off. They were all here to interview Daphne.
Daphne glanced at the director. She felt ecstatic about having so many peopleâs support, but she wasnât a fool.
Kirk had already clarified that he could give her resources, but she couldnât expose their relationship.
Now, their relationship had been exposed. But since she wasnât the one who had done it, she could stay out of this fiasco..
However, if she left the set and said something wrong to those reporters, she would lose the benefactor she had worked so hard to get.
Hence, Daphne refused. âSince Iâm already on set, Iâm working here. Thereâs no need to give me special treatment. Letâs keep filming.â
The directorâs forehead was covered in sweat. He dared not say anything else, so he could only tough it out and keep filming.
Daphne had undergone plastic surgery, and her acting was mediocre. In the past, the director wouldnât have let that slide.
But today, she had completed her scene in one take. She was proud, thinking that her acting had finally impressed the director.
After filming, Daphneâs manager trotted over with the phone in her hand. âDaph, Mr. Kirkâs assistant is looking for you.â
Daphne was surprised, and her heartbeat quickened. She asked guiltily, âDid he say anything?â
âHe asked you to see Mr. Kirk tonight and to dress nicely.â The manager raised her voice on purpose as she said this.
Thinking of Kirkâs face and figure, Daphne blushed. She said shyly. âSo annoying.â
Everyone else was filled with envy after hearing their words. They all thought that Daphen was lucky.
However, they had to flatter her anyway.
After Caroline left the real estate office, she removed Sarahâs number from the blocked contacts and called her. She said concisely, âLetâs meet up.â
Crooning, Sarah said, âSo, youâre finally willing to talk things through with me?â
âWhere are we meeting?â Caroline asked, not wanting to beat around the bush with her.
âLetâs meet up at home.â
Hearing the word âhome,â Caroline grimaced. âOkay, Iâll be there in an hour or so.â
After that, she hung up the phone and drove to the Evans familyâs villa.
She didnât feel nostalgic after being away from that place for so long. Instead, she felt disgusted at having to return there.
She rang the doorbell, and the servant opened the door.
Before Caroline went in, she could hear laughter from inside the house. She sneered. She entered the living room and saw Layla sitting on the couch.
Carolineâs first thought was wondering when Layla had returned home. Her second thought was why she wasnât in a wheelchair anymore.
But those two thoughts left as soon as they came. She didnât care about the answers.
âRelease a video to clear things up.â Caroline said, going straight to the point. âIf you do that, Iâll let this entire thing slide.â
Layla was the first to respond. âOh, Caroline. Who do you think youâre talking to? Youâre being rude.â
âShut the hell up!â Caroline barked without even looking at Layla. âIâm asking one last time. Are you going to clear things up or not?â
âThere isnât anything to clear up.â Sarah retorted coldly.
Sheâd thought that Caroline was here to beg them for mercy. She hadnât expected her daughter to be so stubborn.
She said impatiently, âWhat I said In the video was the truth. Our family has raised you all these years, didnât we?â
wouldnât bother themselves with you!â
Sarahâs and Danâs faces turned pale from their daughterâs words.
