Chapter 364
Bogus Billionaire
All the employees cast a discreet glance at Charles.
Feeling everyoneâs eyes on him, Charles wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it. Of course, he knew why Kirk was gloomy, but he couldnât do anything about it.
The only one who could fix the problem was the one who started it. Kirkâs mood would only improve if Caroline wasnât upset anymore. But the chances of that happening were slim.
After all, anyone would be upset if they were being lied to.
In the dead silence, someone from the technical department knocked on the conference room door. He looked at Charles.
As if he had found his escape, Charles immediately stood up. âIâll be going out for a while, sir.â
He quickly left the room, as if entranced.
Everyone else was envious to see him leave.
Charles could finally breathe after walking out of the conference room. He took several breaths of air before asking, âHow did it go? Did you find anything?â
The employee from the technical department handed several printed photos to Charles. The people in the picture were Sean, Caroline, and Gwen.
Other than them, there were two other people: Jane and Daphne. The photo was taken in the bridal boutique.
The employee said, âI ruled out the people who have interacted with the madam who knows sirâs true identity, and I noticed that this person â¦â He pointed at Daphne in the photo. âIs most likely to have been the one who revealed sirâs identity.â
Charles was shocked. He asked, âAre you sure?â
The employee said, âIâm not 100% sure. After all, itâs impossible to verify whether Daphne knows that Ms. Evans is our bossâ wife. Butâ¦â
Charles urged, âDonât stop. Just say whatever you want to say.â
âOther than her, no one else could have done this.â
âI got it.â Charles patted the staff on the shoulder.
âYouâve done Godâs work.â
The employee stared at Charles, clearly dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Charles baiged into the conference room without any explanation and whispered in +15 BONUS Kirkâs ear. Kirkâs frown relaxed slightly after hearing his assistantâs words.
Although the sinister look in Kirkâs eyes was still there, everyone could feel the tense atmosphere in the room dissipate. They breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Charles in appreciation.
Kirk tapped the table with his slender fingers. âAre you sure?â
Charles glanced at the other colleagues and explained, âWeâre not certain for now, but thereâs no one else whoâs suspicious.â
âGet ready to return home immediately.â
âYes, sir.â Just as Charles was about to turn around and leave, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
Taking it out, he froze when he saw the screen. He hurriedly turned around and handed the phone to Kirk./
Seeing Daphneâs name on the screen, Kirk answered the phone with a sneer.
Daphneâs sweet voice came from the phone. âCharles, IâIâll be holding a banquet at home today. I Is Mr. Kirk free to come over?â
There was a smile on Kirkâs lips, and darkness surged in his eyes. He said, âYes.â
After that, he hung up the phone and tossed it to Charles. He ordered, âI want to take a flight back to Easton in an hour.â
