Chapter 830
Bogus Billionaire
Yvonne strongly believed that the man wouldnât go easy on Caroline when he got his hands on her. He was like a ravenous beast that hadnât tasted meat for a long time.
It would be better if he could help Yvonne get rid of Caroline once and for all. These vicious thoughts kept on swirling in Yvonneâs head.
Out of the blue, a womanâs voice pulled her out of her daze.
âYvonne, what are you thinking about? You look like youâre in a trance.â
Shocked, Yvonne almost jumped from her seat. She looked up to see Marietta staring at her, and it made her panic. âN-nothing.â
âWhatâs wrong?â Marietta asked, her voice laced with concern.
âI can take you to the hospital if youâre not feeling well.
âIâve been busy with work these days. Thatâs why I didnât have the time to spend with you.â Marietta sounded apologetic.
Marietta had just completed a short story. So she had only just realized how much time had passed when she finally snapped out of the fictional world and back into reality.
She hadnât seen Yvonne for quite some time. She had quickly called the latter so that they could meet up at the most famous coffee shop in Macldo.
Yvonne had happily agreed to it. She didnât lose her temper anymore, much to Mariettaâs relief.
However, when Marietta had arrived just now, she had seen Yvonne in a daze. So she couldnât help but worry about Yvonne.
âMom, Iâm fine, really.â Yvonne was in high spirits.
âDo you know who I met a few days ago?â
Marietta let out the breath she had been holding. Curious, she asked, âWho was it?â
Yvonne seldom talked about what went on in her life. Even though she had accepted Marietta as her mother, there was still a wall between them.
That was exactly why Marietta wouldnât let go of a chance like this to get to know Yvonne better.
âCaroline.â
Mariettaâs froze at the mention of that name.
âWhat a surprise it was, donât you think? Besides, I saw her on the Yates familyâs cruise ship.â
Yvonne jeered and added, âDo you think she abandoned her husband in Easton to get on the Yates familyâs good side?â
Marietta furrowed her brows. She didnât like what she was hearing.
If Kirk hadnât asked her not to reveal his true identity, she would have told Yvonne that there was no better man in the world than Kirk.
Besides, Caroline was a strong and independent person. She didnât need to get on anyoneâs good side.
âYvonne, havenât I told you before not to judge others for fun?â
Marietta expected Yvonne to get mad at her. Surprisingly, the latter wasnât upset in the least.
Yvonne even held Mariettaâs hands in hers and pouted, âOkay then. I wonât say something like this in the future.â
Caroline no longer had a future, after all.
Naturally, Marietta didnât know what was going on in Yvonneâs mind.
She merely assumed that Yvonne had finally managed to get over the anxiety and mixed feelings of accepting her as her biological mother.
âItâs a wonderful thing that you got to see someone familiar and from Easton as wellâ said Marietta.
âIt must be fate that you got to meet Caroline, so why donât we invite her to our home?â
For the past few days, when Marietta had been with work, she had drawn inspiration from Caroline whenever she had faced writerâs block.
It was magical. Whenever Marietta saw Carolineâs writing, she would feel as though she had found herself a close confidant.
Regrettably, though, the script that she had gotten was an old one Rosalind had sent her a few months ago.
Marietta wanted to take this opportunity to ask Caroline why she had stopped writing. It would be a pity if Caroline wanted to stop writing the script once and for all.
Speaking of which, Yvonne seemed to have inherited none of her talents in writing.
Marietta couldnât help a sigh from escaping her mouth. Apparently, oneâs talents werenât inheritable.
