Chapter 309
Bogus Billionaire
It was clear that back was in a good mood today. He was even joking in front of Gwen.
opportunity, Sean said. âIâd love to do that, but someone doesnât want to play along, and she keeps embarrassing me.â
Caroline smiled and joked, âDid you hear that, Gwen? Heâs complaining about you. Why donât you make this thing between you two official, and weâll have a double wedding?â
âOh, shut it. Today is your day. Iâm not going to steal your thunder.â Even as she said that, in a rare moment, Gwen took the initiative to hold Seanâs hand in front of Caroline and Kirk.
Sean looked down at their clasped hands, his heart beating faster. He was about to say something when he heard Gwen warn, âDonât push your luckâ
Sean simicked at her words and sat down quietly beside Gwen..
Caroline and Kirk looked at each other tacitly.
Hurry up and order some lood. Iâm so hungry,â Gwen said before Caroline could tease her.
Caroline had choice but to order food for everyone. While waiting for the food, Sean talked about what Eddy looked like when he found out that Layla had deceived him, laughing happily.
âHahal You guys had no idea how pitiful Eddy looked. It looked as if his faith in humanity had fallen apart!â
Gwen snorted, âHe deserves it for always thinking that Caroline was a scheming bitch while Layla was the actual snake. Heâs just a blind Idiot who couldnât see that. Now, itâs great that he finally saw her true colors! He can regret his choices all he wants!â
Kirk looked at Caroline silently.
Feeling his gaze on her, Caroline litted her head slightly and looked back at him. She raised an eyebrow, silently asking him what was wrong.
Kirk smiled and shook his head. Then, he continued listening to Seanâs story about what had happened.
Relishing in the gossip, Gwen asked, âThen, what happened?â
âI donât know. I just saw Layla getting into Eddyâs car,â
âWhat a shame!â Gwen said regretfully.
Suddenly, her eyes focused on Sean and murmured, âHang on a minute..
Sean asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Gwen asked, âArenât you friends with Eddyâs second uncle? By right, you shouldnât be laughing at your friendâs nephew getting tricked.â
Sean looked over at Kirk, who was grilling meat for Caroline, and shrugged.
âIâm just his second uncleâs friend, not his friend. Besides, there are many uncles who screw their nephews over. Laughing at his demise shouldnât be a problem.â
Only Kirk knew what Seanâs words meant. But he remained unphased and put the grilled meat on Carolineâs plate. âWhat are your plans Trom here on out, darling?â
My plans?â
Caroline didnât know how the topic had changed, but she still answered honestly, âFirst of all, I have to go back to pack my things from Thome Corp this afternoon.
âThen, starting tomorrow, Iâll do my best to manage Evans Group and restore it to its former glory.â
Kirk tucked Carolineâs hair behind her ear and asked, âDo you want me to come with you?â
âTo Thorne Corp?â
Yeah.
âNo need,â Caroline relused with a smile.
âI donât have many things over there, and Mr. Jack can help out anyway.â
At the mention of this, Caroline felt emotional. âI never thought Iâd leave Thome Corp so soon. Iâm going to miss that place.â
She would especially miss Jack. Although she still didnât know who he was or why he used the companyâs name to pose as her driver, she was grateful to him.
Thanks to him, she had been able to devote her time and energy to the companyâs work without worrying about anything related to traveling.
At this moment, Carolineâs phone vibrated on the table.
âMs. Evans, Iâve already investigated Jack.â When the screen lit up with the text, Kirk accidentally caught a glimpse of it, and his hands froze.
