Chapter 292
Bogus Billionaire
The next day, after Caroline and Gwen met up, they went straight to Merry Color. As for Sean and Kirk, they had both been dumped at home. In Seanâs words, they had become latchkey kids.
Soon, Caroline and Gwen arrived at Merry Color.
When she saw Caroline, the new store manager quickly went forward. âYou must be Mrs, Yates. Mr.
Eddy said that you can choose any dress in the shop as long as you like it.â
Caroline and Gwen exchanged a glance and chuckled at the same time.
The manager didnât know why they were laughing. She led them both to pick out wedding gowns.
Then, she moved away for a moment. Gwen went up to Caroline and said with a chuckle, âI wonder how Eddy would react if he found out you were the Mrs. Yates he was talking about.â
Caroline smiled for a moment before frowning. âGwen, stop getting Sean to pretend to be my husband next time.â
âWhat are you afraid of?â
Gwen knew what Caroline was worried about. âOur relationship isnât that fragile. Besides, I trust you 100%. You wonât covet my man.â
Gwen had a point.
True best friends always ended up disliking each otherâs partners because they thought their best friend deserved someone even better.
Caroline held Gwenâs hand. âSometimes, I think Iâm really lucky. Although my family isnât good to me.
Iâve been gifted with a wonderful friend.â
Gwen smiled toward Caroline but said. âUgh, are all women in love so sappy?â
Caroline shot back, âYouâre in love too. Shouldnât you know?â
Gwen squeezed Carolineâs shoulder as she laughed. As they were both giggling, the manager came back, Since Eddy would be footing the bill Caroline and Gwen didnât plan on saving him any money. They bought all the clothes on their listin one go. It came to a total of more than 30 million dollars.
Seeing that, the manager made a call to Eddyâs assistant. Soon after, Kirk transferred the money over.
Caroline felt some sort of way as she heard the ding of the transfer notification.
Although Eddy had helped Evans Group a lot, he had never spent a cent on her over the past eight years. He had never even bought her a drink.
Plus, she had never thought that the Morrison family would give money easily.
But seeing how generous Eddy was being now, paying a bill for someone he had never met, Caroline thought she should probably change her perspective.
The Morrison family really did give money away easily.
After buying the wedding gowns, Caroline and Gwen went downstairs to get some milkshakes.
Gwen suddenly thought of Kirk and asked, âDonât you need to buy Kirk some clothes too?â
Caroline looked at the person making them their milkshakes and said, âYes, but I wonât have to buy it.
Kirk said he would handle it himsel âDo you trust a manâs fashion sense?â
âKirk would probably look nice even if he were wearing a trash bag.â
Gwen paused before laughing. âYouâre right. Carol, youâre really confident about your man. Oh, by the way, didnât he talk about itting the other day? Howâs that going?â
After collecting their milkshakes, Caroline walked next to Gwen on the road. Then, she told Gwen her entire plan.
Gwen nearly choked on ner milkshake. After a long while, she dropped ner jaw in astonishment Seeing that Gwen was about to shout, Caroline quickly covered her friendâs mouth. She nodded enthusiastically.
Gwen mumbled behind Carolineâs hand. After a long while, the excitement in her eyes dulled, though her body was still sharing.
A moment later, Gwen finally relaxed and pulled Carolineâs hand away. Even so, her tone was animated. âCarol youâre
