Chapter 371
Bogus Billionaire
Just as Caroline was about to reach the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she heard a deep, mature voice behind her again. âCaroline!â
Carolineâs body shook at his voice. For a moment, she really thought it was Kirk calling her.
However, after calming down, she could clearly tell that the voices of Kirk and Eddyâs second uncle were different.
Although their voices had the same magnetic allure, Kirk sounded more casual, while Eddyâs second uncle sounded more mature and authoritative.
She took a deep breath and turned around. She asked, âIs there anything else, sir?â
Kirk didnât answer Carolineâs question. Instead, he looked at Daphneâs manager and ordered, âGet a few people to bring the gifts in.â
When Daphne heard there were gifts, she immediately smiled.
Everyone else also expressed their envy.
âYouâre so doting to your wife! Iâm so jealous!â
Among all the excitement, Caroline stood at the door, bewildered. Since Kirk didnât say anything, she didnât dare leave. However, she couldnât get a word in, so she could only wait at the door.
After a while, several bodyguards walked in carrying a large pile of gifts. Each one was beautifully wrapped. Everyone could tell it was worth a lot of money with just a glance.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Daphne hadnât expected Kirk to buy her so many gifts. Her heart kept pounding wildly as she eyed the gifts closely.
The small mountain of gifts also stunned everyone else. Most of these people were wealthy ladies from the upper class, and they spent money without mercy.
However, a gift from a spouse was completely different from something one bought for themselves.
At first, they had complimented Kirk and Daphneâs relationship for the sake of flattery. But after seeing so many gifts, their envy had changed them beyond recognition.
He used all his strength to reign in his irrationality, his lips trembling from effort. âItâs nothing. I just havenât seen Eddy and Uncle Jude for a long time. How are they?â He spoke with the air of a senior.
Caroline didnât suspect anything. âTheyâre doing good. In fact, I also havenât seen them for a long time.â
Upon seeing things turn out like this, everyone looked at them unhappily. This was completely different from what they had expected. They had wanted to see Caroline humiliated. Therefore, they lost interest in their conversation.
Caroline said goodbye after seeing that Kirk had no intention of talking to her anymore. She had just taken a few steps when she heard a guestâs teasing voice behind her.
âSince you just returned from abroad, you must have bought gifts for your wife, right?â
The word âgiftsâ made Carolineâs heart sting and ache. Then, she thought of Kirk again. If nothing had happened, she would also get a gift from Kirk, right?
Thinking of this, she quietly quickened her pace, trying to drown out the warm laughter behind her.
