Chapter 422
Bogus Billionaire
After Adrian left, Sean walked back to Kirkâs side. âI didnât expect Mr. Sorkin to be so fond of Caroline.â
Kirk looked at Sean coldly.
Feeling a chill on his back, Sean quickly changed the subject. âWhatâs going on with you and Caroline? I saw you two holding hands and coming back together. Have you reconciled?â
Kirk glared at Sean again. Only then did Sean realize that he had said something st* pid.
If he learned that his partner was polygamous, he wouldnât be able to forgive them unless there was a misunderstanding like Kirkâs.
But since Kirk couldnât tell Caroline the truth, she had no idea that there was a misunderstanding.
âBut you donât have to worry.â With a smile, Sean lightened the gloomy atmosphere and hooked his arm around Kirkâs shoulder.
âI talked to Gwen when you were out looking for Caroline. It turns out theyâre here in Macovo to find proof that Gwen is innocent. But since neither of them speak Macovian, theyâre having trouble with the language barrier.â
He paused, then continued, âSo I took the initiative and volunteered us to be their translators tomorrow. How about it? Iâm a good friend, arenât I? Iâm still considering your feelings at the most crucial moments.â
Kirk mercilessly exposed his intentions. âYou want to be with Gwen, right?â
âDonât you want to be with Caroline?â
Kirk silently turned around and walked to the elevator.
Sean followed him. He asked, âAre you going or not?â
Kirk glanced at him. Only then did Sean realize that he had asked another st* pid question.
He sighed. He was so happy that he had gotten lost in his own world.
The next day, Caroline learned that two translators would be joining them. It didnât take much effort for her to figure out that they were Sean and Kirk.
âIâm sorry, Carol.â Gwen held her head, regretting that she hadnât resisted Seanâs relentless pursuits. âSean said a lot of nice things to me back then. You know me. I lose my rationality when I see a handsome face.
âBy the time I realized it, I was already nodding to everything he said. How about this? Iâll tell them theyâre not coming with us when we meet them later.â
Caroline asked, âCan you guarantee you wonât be charmed by Kirk and Sean?â
Gwen went silent at her words.
âTheyâre here just for us, and theyâll follow us wherever we go. So, thereâs no point in saying anything.
Besides, we do need someone to be our translator. So we can make good use of them.â
âYou have a point. Weâll just treat them as tools! Besides, I got involved in this misunderstanding because Sean was with me. 1 âSo why should we work ourselves rugged while he sits back and enjoys the show?â For a moment, Gwen had the idea of ruining Sean.
After a while, Sean and Kirk arrived.
Caroline glanced over at Kirk from the corner of her eye. Since she hadnât taken a good look at him for a while, she felt like he had lost weight. Then, she forced herself to look away.
Meanwhile, Gwen had already begun her plans to work Sean to the bone.
She directed him to move all their things to the car and then asked him to drive. Sean obeyed her orders patiently, without any complaints.
When they got into the car, Gwen and Caroline sat in the back seat.
