Chapter 661
Bogus Billionaire
The next second, Carolineâs car door was opened, and she felt a gust of wind. She raised her heavy head and vaguely saw Laylaâs unsightly face.
âCome out here, you bitch!â
The sharp voice allowed Caroline to confirm that it belonged to Layla. She felt her scalp being pulled, which made her consciousness slowly return. In pain, she looked up at Layla coldly.
Laylaâs heart stopped when she saw Caroline glare, but she said maliciously, âWhat are you glaring at?
No one usually passes by here, so donât expect anyone to come and save you.
âYou fucking bitch! How dare you take advantage of Grandpaâs death to make Ed marry you? Youâd really do anything to join the Morrisons, wonât you?â
Caroline was forced to raise her head, but the coldness in her eyes didnât disappear. âYouâre absolutely useless, Layla.â
âWhat did you say?â Layla was pissed.
Caroline retorted, âAm I wrong? Do you really think Iâm the reason you havenât married Eddy yet?
âRemember, Iâm already married. Since Eddy would rather be with a married woman than you, have you ever considered that youâre the problem here?
âEven if you kill me, another person will come into the picture, and youâll never gain Eddyâs favor.â
Carolineâs words hit the nail on the head. Layla raised her hand to hit Caroline.
At the same time, Caroline took advantage of Layla loosening her grip and slammed into her with all her strength.
Layla was caught off guard by her attack, and she felt herself being pushed back before she managed to hold Carolineâs head Unable to move, Caroline took a trembling breath. Her head was dizzy, and she felt like she could collapse anytime.
At this moment, she saw two huge beams of light shining at them. Seeing someone arrive, Layla had no choice but to push Caroline away and flee angrily.
Caroline staggered backward, and just when she thought she would fall to the ground, a large pair of hands held her steady.
âThank you.â Caroline turned around and was slightly shocked to see Asher. Then, her eyes landed on Aurora, who had just gotten out of the car and rushed over.
Caroline calmly avoided Asherâs grip and thanked him again. âThank you.
âItâs no trouble at all.â Asher withdrew his hands and asked curiously, âDid you get into an accident?â
Caroline nodded.
âDo I need to call the police for you?â The person who spoke was none other than Aurora. She had already walked over and looked at Caroline worriedly.
Even though Aurora had worked hard to feign her concern, Caroline could still tell it was fake. â Thank you, but I can call them myself.â
âThen, let us take you home,â Aurora suggested.
Caroline thought momentarily and declined, âNo, itâs okay.
After being rejected repeatedly, Aurora looked at Asher, discouraged. Asher said, âI think itâs safer to call a cab for Caroline and take her to the hospital.â
Asherâs suggestion wasnât a bad one. If Caroline went straight home, Kirk would definitely be worried.
So she agreed, âOkay.â
Asher helped Caroline call a cab. After Caroline got in the car and left, Aurora immediately dropped her pretense of concern.
âWho does she think she is? No one would even suck up to her if she wasnât Mariettaâs goddaughter!â
âAll right, enough of that,â Asher comforted.
âI already told you first impressions are very important. Your assistant had upset her when you first met.
It would be impossible for anyone not to have a bad impression of you.
But you have plenty of time to wow her. You managed to win me over, so why are you worried about a small fry like her?â
