Chapter 401
Bogus Billionaire
In the end, Cheryl didnât dare ask about it. She was afraid that Jack had only said that he had let go of his feelings because he wanted to keep staying by Carolineâs side.
Meanwhile, Daphne found out that Caroline had signed with Sonia while she was playing cards with Jane. The second she heard that the celebrity was a noâname one, her expression went dark.
The two wealthy ladies sitting with them were friends Jane had brought to play with them.
Seeing Daphneâs expression change, one of them asked in concern, âWhatâs wrong, Ms. Dawson?â
Daphne had to try very hard to keep from bursting into curses right then and there. âItâs about work. I have to deal with it for a moment.â As she said this, she strode toward the villaâs entrance.
Her manager chased after her.
At the door, Daphne couldnât hold it in anymore. âWhat does Caroline mean by this? Is she trying to tell me that Iâm nothing compared to some noâname celebrity?â
Daphneâs manager was sweating. She didnât really understand what was going on in Daphneâs head.
âAll I did was sign with Layla instead of with Caroline. Does she have to annoy me this way?â
Her manager said, âDaph, donât be angry.â
âHow could I not be angry? Sheâs getting more popular because of me. Iâm so mad!â
At that thought, Daphne recalled how Kirk had given Caroline gifts, and she felt a new surge of hatred rushing up. She grabbed the documents in her managerâs arms and threw them all to the ground.
Jane had followed Daphne. When she saw Daphne reacting this way, she went forward and said, â
Daph, whatâs going on? Who made you so mad?â
Hearing this, Daphne felt so aggrieved that her eyes went red. âItâs that Caroline, of course!â
Jane frowned. She got mad at the mention of Caroline too. But it was just too bad that she was Seanâs wife. If they made a move against Caroline, they would risk offending Sean.
âDid you know? Caroline isnât actually Sean Yatesâ wife. We were tricked last time!â
â
âWâwhat did you say?â Janeâs eyes bulged in her agitation.
âCaroline isnât Seanâs wife?â
âThatâs right. Layla told me about it. I got someone to investigate, and it seems that Sean is pursuing Carolineâs friend. It was that woman we saw at the bridal boutique that day. But I also heard that they broke up.â
Jane tugged at Daphne. âDaph, you have to give me all the details for such big news!â
Daphne didnât understand since she didnât know that Jane had a grudge against Caroline. Still, she told Jane everything she had uncovered and what Layla had told her.
After listening, Jane scoffed. âAs I thought. That Caroline could never be lucky enough to marry Sean!â
As she spoke, she turned to look at Daphne. âDaph, donât you want revenge after suffering so much at Carolineâs hands?â
âYes. Iâve been dreaming about it. But I canât think of what to do.â
âDonât worry. I have a great idea.â Jane moved to whisper in Daphneâs ear.
After Daphne finished listening, her eyes widened. âThatâs not very nice, right?â
Yet, her lips curved upward.
Jane replied, âDonât worry, Iâll send people to do it. Neither of us will be implicated in this.â
Daphne instantly relaxed when she heard this. âAlright then, Mrs. Collins, Iâll be waiting for the good news.â
âGreat. Letâs get back to our game.â
Then, Jane and Daphne linked their arms and went back to the card table.
Daphneâs manager watched them leave, completely confused. She had no clue what Jane had said to turn Daphne from a raging beast into a smiling angel.
But they were both adults, so they probably wouldnât go too overboard. Thus, the manager didnât say a word and left Collins Residence immediately after.
