Chapter 398
Bogus Billionaire
Caroline smiled. âThat wonât happen. Sonia has a solid fanbase. Even if the webseries fails, we can still get sales through streams.â
Cheryl immediately relaxed when she heard that. âCaroline, youâre amazing. You really thought of everything. Iâll be going then.â
Caroline nodded. After watching Cheryl leave, she slumped onto the couch in fatigue.
Even though she was at work, she needed to expend a lot of energy to concentrate on doing her job.
Otherwise, her thoughts would always drift off, and she would think about how Marinaâs search was going.
What if Kirk really had another wife? What would she do then?
All these thoughts suffocated her, making it hard for her to breathe.
Caroline looked up at the clock on the wall and unlocked her phone. Marina should be at work at this hour, but there was still no news from her.
Clicking on their chat, Caroline hesitated before deciding to send Marina a message anyway.
âHave you found it?â
After sending the message, Caroline immediately turned her phone screen off, too scared to look.
Yet the screen lit back up right then. In response, Caroline looked over with one eye open and one eye closed.
That was when she realized it wasnât a text from Marina at all, but a call from Charles.
Caroline took a breath before answering the call. âMr. Lane.â
âMadam.â Charles looked up at the building before him.
âMr. Morrison is worried that you might be too tired from caring for your friend last night and asked me to bring you a care package. Iâm just downstairs. Can I come up?â
Caroline pinched the bridge of her nose and said, âIâll have someone go down and collect it.â
âNo need. Itâs just a short journey, so I can come up now. Are you at the company?â
Caroline sat straighter. âYes, Iâm here. You can come straight up.â
On the other end of the line, Charles sounded relieved. âAlright.â
Caroline didnât notice Charlesâ relief. She ended the call and immediately saw a new message waiting for her in the notification bar.
Carolineâs heart started to race as she clicked on the message with trembling fingers.
This time, it was really a message from Marina!
It read, âI found it. Thereâs indeed some information on a Kirk Morrison, but I donât know if heâs the person youâre looking for. Iâll send you the details now.â

On the screen, it showed that Marina was typing.
Carolineâs heart was lodged in her throat as she clutched her phone tightly. She was so anxious that her eyes didnât leave the screen for a second.
Right then, a photo came through.
Caroline held her breath as she zoomed in on the photograph. At first glance, she spotted Kirkâs picture on the top right corner. Then, she quickly scanned through to get to the marital status field.
The word âmarriedâ was like a storm raging through her.
Married! Was Kirk really married?
Instantly, Caroline felt like all her energy had been drained out of her.
She and Kirk had registered their marriage in Easton. Of course, Easton didnât share their database with Macldo.
That meant that the Macldo government didnât know that Kirk had gotten married in Easton and wouldnât have him registered as married.
Unless â¦
He was also married in Macldo!
