Chapter 360
Bogus Billionaire
Emery glanced at Caroline disdainfully. âSo is this your car? You must have borrowed it from someone.â
At the same time, on Laylaâs call, Eddy pulled off his tie irritably. âWhatâs the matter?â
Layla said, âEd, I heard you have a Porsche 911 at your car dealership. I heard that itâs difficult to get this car. Can you gift it to me?â
As Layla talked with Eddy on the phone, Emery was sizing Carolineâs Porsche, chatting endlessly, â
If you didnât borrow it, it must be a knockoff. Caroline, you would really do anything to preserve your dignity, wouldnât you? Look at Layla! She found a good man whoâll give her whatever she wants.
Meanwhile, your man-â
A slap landed on her face!
âWhat?â
Two sharp voices sounded simultaneously in the underground parking lot. Emery angrily covered her burning cheek. She rushed forward to grab Carolineâs hair, but Caroline pushed her away.
Emeryâs body hit the Porsche, and she grimaced in pain. But she still said ruthlessly, âHow dare you hit me, Caroline?â
âWhy wouldnât I hit you for being a bitch?â Caroline retorted, looking at Emery calmly.
She didnât hear Emery finish her sentence. Even so, although she was still at odds with Kirk, as long as she and Kirk were still husband and wife, she would defend him to the very end.
Emery had no choice but to ask Layla for help. âLayla!â
Emery called for her several times, but she didnât hear a response. So, she hurriedly looked over at Layla but saw her holding her phone in shock.
Layla probably felt someoneâs eyes on her, and she stared at Caroline with a pale face and red eyes. Holding her cell phone tightly, she yelled, âEddy gave you this Porsche!â She wouldnât have believed it if Eddy hadnât said it himself. He hated Caroline so much. There was no way he would give her a car.
Caroline found Laylaâs trembling shock amusing. âThatâs right. He gave this car to me.â
Emeryâs expression shifted at her words. She couldnât believe her ears.
Layla rushed over and grabbed Carolineâs collar. âSpill it. What did you do to Ed?â
Carolineâs smile deepened when she saw Laylaâs crazed expression.
She gently squeezed Laylaâs wrist. Then, feeling Carolineâs grip tighten, Laylaâs expression became even more aggressive. She shook Caroline off in pain.
Caroline motionlessly looked at Layla, who had a meltdown. âWhat are you being so worked up about?
Itâs just a gift. Youâve gotten plenty of gifts from Eddy, even when I was still with him!â
âThatâs not the same. Ed and I are boyfriend and girlfriend, but youâre not!â Layla was going insane from anger.
Caroline smiled coldly. âYouâre right. You are boyfriend and girlfriend, but he and I were engaged!â
Layla covered her ears in denial. She yelled, âNo! Thatâs different! Itâs completely different! You donât have any feelings for each other!â
As she said that, she angrily looked up at Caroline, her red lips quivering. She warned, âR- remember, Caroline, youâre already married. If you get between Ed and me, youâre being unfaithful! If you cheat on your husband, he wonât let you off the hook!â
Caroline lightly smiled as she watched Layla go berserk, turning the car key in her hand.
âI didnât even have to do anything. Since youâve caused me harm by pretending to be sick, Eddy will keep satisfying my requests. I donât need to get between the both of you.â
Layla was thunderstruck by Carolineâs words, and her body swayed. She shuddered at the thought of how she and Eddy would have to deal with Carolineâs soâcalled cries for help from now on.
This used to be her trick. When Eddy and Caroline were together, she would say she was sick on purpose.
Ignoring Layla, Caroline smiled and turned to look at Emery, who had fallen to the ground, dumbfounded.
She jingled her car keys and threw them at Emeryâs feet. âGo ahead and swallow them.â
