Chapter 396
Bogus Billionaire
When she got to that point, Gwen laughed. âIt was better in the past when I would dump them after I got them âI didnât have to worry about the guy cheating at all. As long as we break up fast, they wonât get to cheat on me.â
Caroline smiled as she looked at Gwen, but it didnât reach her eyes. Gwen was right. Love was really quite tiring. One needed to nurture love with a lot of effort so that it could last forever.
âWhat about you?â Gwen asked, turning her head toward Caroline.
The smile was still on Carolineâs face, but now her gaze drifted. âI ⦠Do you remember I told you I was scared?â
Gwen blinked.
âThe husband was a murderer, but the wife only found out when the police came to their door â¦â
Gwen sat up. âYou mean â
Caroline shook her head as she laughed. âNo. Itâs just that my complete trust in him seems to be cracking.
âWhat exactly happened?â
Caroline shook her head and looked at the time. âIâm not sure yet. I still have to waitâ¦â
Caroline just had to wait a little moreâjust two hours and a bit more. Then, the answer would be revealed.
âI think you can ask Quentin for help with your problem.â Caroline turned the topic back to Gwenâs issue again.
âForget it. There were no surveillance cameras in Macovo. Besides, itâs been so many days already, âGwen said.
âIt doesnât matter anymore if Iâm innocent. In any case, this way, I can rest for a while. At worst, Iâll go home and inherit the family business.
âBut just the thought that it was the old man who built the business makes me feel dirty.â
Carcaine watched Gwen silently Without saying anything more, she walked to the door and changed into her shoes Then, she asked, âWhy donât you come to my company?â
âNo, thanks I can take care of myself at homeâ Gwen pushed Caroline out the door.
âHurry up and go to work. Donât worry about me. Go make money and support me in the future.â
Hearing the words âsupport me, Carolineâs heart trembled. Kirk had seemed to say the same words before. When Caroline thought of him, her eyes dimmed.
Caroline shook her head, dispelling Kirkâs lingering image from her brain.
Once she got the information from Marina, she would be free from this agony. Whether or not it was true, she would put an end to things.
Once she left Gwenâs apartment, Caroline rushed straight to the company. Once she went inside, she saw Cheryl trying to tell her something with her eyes.
âCaroline, guess who came?
âWho?â Caroline asked.
âMr. Sorkin!â Cheryl forced her excited voice down.
âHeâs in your office waiting for you right now! He said heâs here to sign a contract. Caroline, is Mr.
Sorkin investing in our company?â
Although the Sorkin family couldnât compare with the Morrison family, it would make a great impact on Evans Groupâs unstable situation if they were to invest.
Caroline paused in her footsteps as she looked toward the door not far away. âAdrian is inside?â

âThatâs right.â Cheryl was about to push the door open, but Caroline stopped her.
âHold on.â What happened yesterday really gave Caroline a headache.
âI⦠Mr. Sorkin is here to sign a contractâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, the door was opened from the inside.
Caroline looked at Adrián standing before her and found herself unable to escape. She forced a smile and said, âMr Sorkin â¦â
âSonia Norman will be our brand ambassador. Later, you will have to get into contact with her manager and use the companyâs official social media to announce the news.â
Cheryl looked at Soniaâs information and said, âThis actress doesnât seem to be very popular.â
âYes,â Caroline replied.
âBut she has a new webseries airing soon. Iâve watched it. It might only have a small budget, but the story and costumes are decent.
âI canât be sure that it will be a hit, but I think it will be quite popular. Sonia did especially well with her acting. She stands out in a smallâbudget webseries like this. She will be noticed by everyone.â
Listening to all of Carolineâs logical points, Cheryl couldnât help but say, âCaroline, what if ⦠just what if ⦠this webseries fails? Then wouldnât our 800 thousand dollars go to waste?â
