Chapter 662
Bogus Billionaire
Sure enough, Asherâs words put a smile on Auroraâs face. âStill a smoothâtalker, arenât you?â
Asher teased. âThen, are we now-
âShut it!â
Then, the two of them got into the car, bickering. It wasnât until the car was a short distance away that Layla walked out of the woods nearby.
It was strange. She had done her investigations before coming here. Very few people crossed this place, and Asher didnât live in this area either. So why had he shown up here all of a sudden?
Forget it! Layla didnât want to think about this problem right now. She needed to see Dan and expose the truth that Caroline wasnât an Evans.
At the thought of this, Layla hastened her pace. When she got out of the woods, she quickly hailed a cab on the side of the road. After giving the driver the address, she quickly arrived at Danâs villa.
As soon as she walked in, she saw Sarah and Dan talking and having some coffee in the living IOOM.
She said to them, âI canât take this anymore. You have to announce that Caroline isnât your real daughter!TM When Sarah and Dan heard her words, they looked at each other curiously. âWhatâs going on?â
âNothingâs going on. Donât you guys want to get Evans Group back as soon as possible? I think this is the perfect time to do it.â
Layla didnât dare delay their plans any longer. If she did, Eddy would marry Caroline.
Sarah was about to nod in agreement when Dan stopped her. âLayla, weâre on tenterhooks right now. Itâll be difficult for us to work with you if you donât tell us your reasons.â
âThereâs not much of a reason.â Layla pretended to be nonchalant.
âIâm doing this for your sake. Aunt Sarah almost let the truth slip last time.â
Dan wasnât a fool. He pondered for a moment and asked, âLayla, do you know Collins Group is for sale right now?â
Layla had a bad feeling about this. She nodded. âYes, I do.â
âIt isnât fun to only get Evans Group back. How about this? You should buy Collins Group. That way, we can return to the ranks of the big four families.â
Layla snipped, âThereâs no way I can get Collins Group!â
Dan said kindly, âOf course not, but Eddy can. As long as you make him your guarantor, the bank will definitely give you a loan. Then, youâll have the money to buy Collins Group.â
Danâs suggestion tempted Layla, but given the current situation, Eddy wouldnât agree to her request.
âWhen we get Collins Group and make me the CEO, Iâll immediately expose the truth that Caroline isnât our real daughter. When that happens, Evans Group will be back in our hands. What do you think?â
Layla looked at the fruits on the table, lost in thought. After a long time, she stood up and decided, âOkay, Iâll give your plan a try. But donât forget what you promised me, Uncle Dan.â
âDonât worry. If you get Collins Group, Iâll expose Carolineâs identity to the public.â
Layla left with peace of mind when she heard his promise.
After Layla left, Sarah couldnât help asking, âDan, will we be able to return to our old lives soon?â
She looked forward to the days when they didnât have to worry about living comfortably anymore. They could do whatever they wanted without caring what other people thought.
âWeâll see.â Dan wasnât as optimistic as Sarah.
He felt that Layla and Eddyâs relationship wasnât as good as Layla had claimed. He had made this request because he wanted to see how close they actually were.
