Chapter 435

What if the mysterious person was a love rival?

What if that person had the same thoughts as Mia and sent her all those messages to sow the seeds of doubt between them so that they would quarrel and go their separate ways?

Wouldn’t that person get precisely what they wanted, then?

But… it didn’t make sense.

If that person had made up nothing but lies, why would Kirk’s status in Macldo be shown as ”

married“?

Besides, Kirk had failed to give her a clear explanation. In fact, he was rather evasive when she brought this up.

It could only be said that there was something off on both sides of this story. C aroline placed her hands on her head to sort out her thoughts. Soon, she managed to come up with an idea.

She couldn’t contact Dolly, so she might as well try to find out who this “wife” of Kirk’s was.

Caroline took out her phone to message Marina. Her finger stopped abruptly before pressing the ”

send” button when she was suddenly reminded of something.

Caroline deleted the text she had been about to send and transferred ten thousand dollars to Marina’s bank account instead.

“Thank you for helping me. My friend saw it already. The person you told me about was indeed the one she was searching for. She wants me to ask you if you can find out who this man’s wife is.

You’ll be handsomely rewarded for this. -Caroline”

Money could open all doors. Indeed, Marina replied no more than three seconds after the message had been qsent.

“Caroline, you’re being much too polite. Don’t worry, I’m on it! I’ll look into it first thing in the morning. -Marina”

Caroline sighed in disappointment, but it occurred to her that it was probably midnight where Marina was, so she simply replied “Okay, thanks“.

She was about to switch off her phone, but it didn’t seem like Marina wanted their conversation to end so soon.

Marina kept on asking Caroline about Caroline’s “friend” and why this “friend” of hers was so rich.

To put it simply, Marina wanted to make the acquaintance of this “friend” of Caroline’s. Since the said “friend” didn’t exist, Caroline texted her back, saying, “I’m sorry, but she wants to remain incognito.”

After that, Marina stopped pestering her about it.

At one of SY Group’s branches, Charles saw Kirk coming back and rushed forth to greet him.

Soon, though, he retraced his steps due to the chilling aura that Kirk emitted. He had expected Kirk to get on Caroline’s good side after their trip to Macovo.

From the looks of things, Charles and his colleagues would still have to suffer for quite some time.

“Sir,” said Charles as he pushed the doors open.

“I’ve worked day and night during your absence. Just look at these eyebags of mine.”

Kirk glanced sideways at Charles as he entered the office. “I’m sure the sales of our branches in Easton must’ve doubled or tripled since you worked so hard.”

Now, that made Charles shut his mouth.

“Stop the nonsense,” Kirk added.

“Get your job done if you want to atone for your mistakes.”

“Alright, sir.” Charles smiled bitterly now that Kirk had read him like an open book.

“Do a background check for me/

Charles cheered up at his words. “Who is it?”

“Dolly.”

“Where’s she from?” Asked Charles.

“I don’t know.”

Charles was becoming rather speechless. “Which unit does she work in then?”

“I don’t know,” said Kirk once again, which made Charles fall silent.

“I only know that her name’s Dolly and that she’s a theater actress,” said Kirk.

“She appeared in the hotel where we stayed when we first arrived in Macovo.”

Charles felt the corners of his lips twitch at the meager amount of information he received. It would be way better if only Kirk could give him more information about Dolly..
