Chapter 377
Bogus Billionaire
At first, Kirk thought Caroline had forgiven him, but soon he realized that her smile wasnât sincere. He had seen her genuine smiles, so he could immediately tell whether she was really happy or faking it.
This revelation upset him. But he was unwilling to ruin this happy and peaceful facade. He took out his phone and called Charles, âDid you find anything on Daphneâs phone?â
Charles said, âNo, sir. Ms. Dawson hasnât interacted with the madam aside from the time in the bridal boutique and the car dealership. She seems to believe that the madam is Dr. Yatesâ wife.â
Kirk frowned. He pondered for a moment, trying to think rationally. He sat on the couch and gently tapped on the armrest.
After a moment, his eyes lit up with an idea.
âGo and investigate what happened during our time in Macovo, especially when she and I were separated. Find out who she had met and who she had talked to.â
âYes, sir.â
âIn particular â¦â Kirk opened the calendar on his phone. âInvestigate what happened on the 17th.â
That night, Caroline had gone to look for evidence in the skating rink. At the time, he had already gone upstairs. From that day on, Caroline had changed.
In Macldo, a man in a black suit and mask stood before the floorâtoâceiling windows, swirling the wine in his glass.
When he heard the sound of the door opening behind him, he took a sip of wine and turned around. âYouâre here.â
Avery glanced at the man and took a card from her bag. âHere you go.â
The man glanced at her disdainfully. He asked, âDo you think I helped you so that I could get ten million dollars?
Avery said coldly, âIt doesnât matter what the reason is. I donât want to owe you any favors.â

Avery retorted, âYou donât need to know.â
The man laughed again. âYouâre right, but itâs obvious that Kirkâs wife in Easton is causing you some trouble. Thatâs why you asked me for help.â
Averyâs expression became even darker when he saw through her intentions. She yelled, âFinn Morrison!â
Finn smiled and raised his wine glass. Avery could only see a pair of sapphire eyes that were different from Kirkâs, moving slightly under the mask.

âActually, why bother with this?â he said, his voice tinged with sadness.
âAs long as youâre willing to be with me, I can make you the richest woman possible.â
âYou?â
Avery mocked, âSorry, Iâm not interested in freaks!â
Finnâs eyes darkened, but soon he smiled again. âAvery, I love you. So you canât hurt me, no matter what you say!â
Avery felt sick after hearing his words. She glanced at the bank card on the table and said, â Anyway, Iâve given you the money. Weâre even from now on.â After that, she left the room.
When Averyâs figure disappeared, Finnâs dark gaze glinted cryptically.
Meanwhile, Caroline was surrounded by the higherâups as soon as she entered the company.
âWhat should we do, Ms. Evans? Evanson Corp is making horoscopeâthemed outfits, too, and they even hired a wellâknown designer, âIf we keep using the horoscope concept for our outfits, we wonât be able to beat theirs!â said the head of the design department/worried.
