Chapter 618
Bogus Billionaire
âGreat. You still remember me.â Howard pressed the gun against Carolineâs head.
As he laid his eyes on her, he had the urge to tear her apart piece by piece. However, that wouldnât change anything.
At the thought of this, Howard coldly glared at Caroline.
Caroline took a deep breath and tried not to anger Howard. âThings have already happened. Killing me wonât fix anything. Why donât you think about what I can do for you?â
As she spoke, she glanced at Edith, who had secretly called the police, from the corner of her eye.
Edithâs actions gave her the confidence to handle this situation. She hadnât expected Edith to be able to stay calm in the face of danger.
âYou canât do anything for me!â Howardâs angry voice drew Carolineâs attention back.
âWhat do you think you can do? Because of you, my daughter went insane, and my wife is in jail! I even lost my company! You tore my family apart! I want you to experience that same feeling.â
Caroline was about to say something, but Jude beat her to it. âPlease calm down, Howard. Carrie is right. Doing this wonât solve anything. It will only make things worse.
âListen to me. Just put down the gun. The Morrisons will help you solve your companyâs problems. You have to believe in our familyâs capabilities.â
The muzzle on Carolineâs head shifted slightly.
Noticing an opportunity, she hurriedly said, âHeâs right, Mr. Collins. Your family has finally become one of the big four Ffmilies. You donât want all that to be gone now, do you?â
Howardâs expression relaxed at her words.
Just as Caroline and Jude heaved a sigh of relief, Howard aimed his gun at Jude.
He gritted his teeth and snarled, âActually, all this is your familyâs fault. If Eddyâs second uncle hadnât taken Carolineâs side, things wouldnât have ended up like this. And you â¦â
Howard pointed his gun at Caroline. âTalk. What is your relationship with Eddyâs second uncle?
Why does he always take your side? Tell me!â
Caroline felt a chill on her back from his yelling. She didnât know what to say for a moment.
Howard had originally just asked this question on a whim. He was already in a murderous frenzy.
However, after bringing this up and noticing Carolineâs inability to answer his question, his previous doubts began to resurface.
Howard trembled at the terrifying thought and almost lost his grip on the gun.
âSpill it! Whatâs your relationship with Eddyâs second uncle?â
After returning to his senses, Howard pressed the gun even harder against Carolineâs temple. He had to get the answers he wanted right now.
Caroline looked at Howard. âLet me think about how to answer you.â She couldnât explain her relationship with Eddyâs second uncle in just a few sentences.
When Jude heard her words, he turned to look at Caroline and encouraged her, âCarrie, just tell him what you know.â
Jude felt conflicted, but unexpectedly, he echoed Howardâs question. He wanted to know the relationship between Caroline and Kirk.
âOkay.â Caroline frowned helplessly.
After carefully considering her words, she said, âHeâs my husbandâ¦â
These three words made Jude and Howard act strangely. Both of them opened their mouths, eyes widened in disbelief.
