Chapter 372
Bogus Billionaire
Kirk had prepared so many gifts for an outsider like Caroline, but he hadnât prepared a single one for Daphne. Everyone looked at each other, finding the turn of events outrageous.
Basically, Caroline had a higher place in Kirkâs heart than Daphne. The people who had ridiculed Caroline just now trembled at this outcome.
They hurriedly took out their phones and sent apologetic messages to Caroline. They said they hadnât meant to insult her and hoped that she would forgive them.
Caroline had no intentions of dealing with those people at the moment. All her attention was on the gifts next to her.
She was really puzzled. Why would Eddyâs second uncle give her a bunch of gifts?
If he had given them sooner, she could chalk it up as him doing it for Eddyâs sake.
However, it had been so long since she broke off her engagement with Eddy. No matter how late his second uncle had found out about this, he should still know about it.
Because of what happened with the gifts, the banquet ended quickly. Now Daphne and Kirk were the only ones left in the living room.
Kirk removed his mask and sunglasses, revealing his alluring and handsome face.
Immediately, the anger in Daphneâs heart dissipated by a significant margin. She took a deep breath and asked firmly, âMr. Kirk, do you know how much youâve embarrassed me just now?â
Kirk casually put his legs on the coffee table, his eyes dark. Yet, Caroline appeared in his mind.
Thinking of how she must be opening the gifts at home, a trace of tenderness appeared in his gaze.
He was happy that he had successfully given her the gifts. However, he clenched his fist again.
when he thought of how he had given them as Eddyâs second uncle rather than as her husband.
Meanwhile, Daphne was still talking about how embarrassed she was. Kirk interrupted her impatiently, âYouâre not my wife, so why do you think Iâll buy you a gift?â
His cold words made Daphneâs face turn pale in an instant. She frowned and said, âBut⦠But to Daphne was just a Dâlister, but she had managed to earn Kirkâs affection. She was too lucky!Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Daphneâs manager happily held the gift box in front of Kirk. She asked, âWhere should I put these gifts, sir?â
Kirk raised his chin slightly. âAsk Caroline.â
Everyone was shocked to hear his answer.
The manager couldnât react at all. She blinked. âWhy should I ask Car â¦â
Before she could finish talking, she widened her eyes in disbelief. She looked over at Daphne, who had a hideous, forced smile on her face.
Caroline finally understood why he had stopped her. It turned out those gifts were all for her. But it was too strange. She and Eddy werenât in a relationship anymore. His second uncle had no reason to give her anything.
Kirk waved to Caroline. âWhere is your car?â
Caroline blinked several times before finding her voice. She looked at the mountain of gifts in the bodyguardsâ arms and said uncertainly, âSirâ¦â
âItâs all for you,â Kirk said lightâheartedly, crossing his legs. His voice no longer had the pressure it had before.
âBut I canât accept so many gifts,â Caroline refused. She didnât have the status or qualifications to accept his gifts.
âIâve never given you any gifts for your birthday in the previous years, so just think of these as compensation.â
Caroline was speechless. For some reason, she had a feeling this man could see through her thoughts.
However, since he had already insisted, Caroline didnât protest further. She had no choice but to say, âThank you.â And with that, she walked toward her Porsche with the bodyguards.
After Carolineâs figure disappeared, Daphne finally recovered from her shock. She looked at Kirk, then at her manager, silently asking if there was a second batch of gifts.
However, the manager cruelly shook her head in response. Daphneâs face immediately turned as pale as a ghostâs.
