Chapter 825
Bogus Billionaire
Betty was a wise person. Hence, she immediately figured out the stray cat Sean had mentioned this morning was actually Kirk.
She was ready to watch her son make a fool of himself.
Sean wasnât easy meat, though. He had mastered the art of knowing when to back down.
He told Kirk on the spot, âIt was all my fault, dude. Iâll be sure to ask for forgiveness after dinner.â
He continued, âCâmon, letâs eat first. Look at all the dishes Caroline put in effort to cook. Donât you want to try them?â
Bringing up Caroline had proven to be effective every time..
As expected, Kirk walked slowly to the dining table.
From the start, he had never bothered to look at Adrian, yet Adrian could say nothing about that.
Even though they were rivals, Adrian was nothing like Eddy, who perversely kept mentioning Kirk before Caroline.
Adrian would also never persuade Caroline to uncover Kirkâs mask, despite knowing it was the latterâs only weakness.
Therefore, the dinner ended rather peacefully.
After dinner, Adrian posted a picture of the dishes cooked by Caroline along with the caption, âThank you for the treat, Caroline, my friend.â
Eddy was one of his followers, hence Adrian was certain that he would see the post. Of course, he had done it on purpose.
Anyway, Eddy dared not come to Macido, Even if he did, Kirk alone would be too much for him to handle.
âLetâs have some fruit, Mr. Y.â Caroline came with a fruit platter.
Adrian didnât feel good when he saw this scene.
Ever since Kirk had shown up, Caroline only had eyes for him.
Even though she did spare the others some attention, the way she looked at Kirk was totally different:
Her eyes sparkled when she looked at him.
âAre you jealous?â Sean whispered to Adrian all of a sudden.
Adrian instantly averted his gaze. âThere is nothing to be jealous about. He canât even show his face now.ââ
âBut he can steal Carolineâs heart even without showing his face. Can you do the same?â
Adrian was rendered speechless.
Caroline was passing them the fruit platter when she saw the two of them whispering. Out of curiosity, she asked, âWhat are you guys talking about?â
âNothing special. Weâre just talking about how Adrian has been wooing a girl for years but to no avail,â
said Sean, winking at Kirk, who was behind Caroline.
Kirk ignored him.
Instead, Caroline blinked her clear eyes and asked, âSo you guys are sharing your experiences?â
Kirk almost choked on the piece of fruit he was eating at her words. She had also rendered Sean and Adrian speechless.
Sean, in particular, looked even more disgruntled than Adrian.
Caroline turned to Kirk with an innocent look. âMr. Y, did I say something wrong?â
Kirk smiled and said, âNo, youâre right. Theyâre just sharing their similar experiences.â
Adrianâs expression darkened at his words.
Sean and Adrian, who were on the same boat, exchanged a glance. But they couldnât tell who was more pitiful.
At the same time, Yvonne was in a bar. She swept everything off the table furiously.
It wasnât because she was still mad at Adrian after meeting him last night. In fact, it was because she just saw his post on Twitter.
