Chapter 381
Bogus Billionaire
Caroline bought a classicâstyled handbag from an Louis Vuitton store and had a staff member post it to Macido.
Initially, Cheryl assumed that Caroline had bought the bag for Daphne. But then, she got word that it was going to be sent out. She asked, âCaroline, arenât you preparing this for Daphne?â
âWhy would I prepare a gift for her?â Caroline asked.
Cheryl was about to say something but found that she didnât know how to answer that question.
So she quietly followed Caroline and got in the car.
Soon, they arrived at the filming site. A staff member there wasted no time taking them to the dressing room to meet Daphne.
âMs. Daphne has a guest. Please wait here, and Iâll head inside to tell her about your arrival,â said the staff member.
Caroline nodded. âOkay.â
Cheryl then whispered to Caroline, âItâs Layla for sure.â
Instead of replying, Caroline simply unlocked her phone to check if Andrea had sent her the information about Sonia.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that Andrea was so efficient that she had obtained all the information Caroline had requested so soon.
Caroline had even gotten her hands on some of Soniaâs unpublished works. To be frank, Caroline was kind of touched by Andreaâs faith in her.
The staff member hadnât come out of the dressing room yet, so Caroline found a spot to sit down and go through the information.
In the dressing room, Daphneâs expression turned foul when she learned of Carolineâs arrival. She and Layla locked gazes.
Layla asked, âMs. Daphne, have you made your decision? Are you signing the contract with me or Caroline?â
Hesitating, Daphne fell silent. She had learned from Layla that Caroline wasnât Seanâs wife.
Regardless, Caroline and Sean were friends, and if Daphne signed the contract with Layla, it would offend Caroline.
If that happened, Caroline might ask Gwen to talk badly about Daphne in front of Sean. Then, Sean might talk to Kirk about it too.
Daphne took a moment to consider these factors. After a while, she said, âKindly ask someone else to become your ambassador. I wonât sign the contract with Caroline either.â
This was the best decision she could make since she could avoid offending either side. It was the most rational thing she could do, even though she would very much like to take her revenge on Caroline.
Layla smiled softly. âI understand why youâre refusing my offer. Youâre afraid of offending Caroline and Sean,â she said.

âBut think about it. Caroline is merely Seanâs girlfriendâs friend. Thereâs a huge gap between them.
Besides, I heard that Sean and his girlfriend are going to break up.â
âReally?â Daphneâs eyes lit up at her words.
âThe information I get is never wrong,â Layla persuaded her.
âIf you donât believe me, you can go ask around yourself. Some others know about it already. It happened just a couple of days ago.
âA young woman came to Gwenâs company and claimed that Gwen took her boyfriend away from her.â
âYou arenât lying to me, are you?â Daphne became more excited the longer they talked.
âWeâre business partners. I donât have a reason to lie to you,â Layla said.
âBesides, youâre Eddyâs second uncleâs wife. Iâll have to call you my aunt too in the future. Do you think Iâll lie to a close relative?â
Daphne bought it right away. âOkay. Iâll sign the contract with you!â
âThank you, aunt.â Layla finally smiled.
Daphne beamed at her too. Making Carolineâs life difficult lifted her spirits, and she told the staff member, âAsk Caroline to go back.â
