Chapter 514
Bogus Billionaire
âHaha, do you feel bad for him?â
Eddyâs second uncle said in good spirits, âSince you do, donât get divorced.â
âSir!â
Another wave of pleasant laughter rang out on the phone. âAll right, I wonât tease you anymore. Kirk is incredibly devoted to you.
âSince my problems caused a rift between you two, I wonât ask him to pay the penalty. Iâm the one who should apologize. Iâll properly handle things with Daphne, and I wonât cause you any more trouble.â
Caroline pursed her lips, remaining silent. At first, she wondered if he had used a voiceâchanger to disguise himself. But she never noticed anything strange, even after talking for so long.
She finally put her nervousness in check.
It seemed things were exactly as Kirk said. Eddyâs second uncle and Daphne had a fake marriage.
To make a fake marriage certificate, he had asked Kirk and Daphne to get a real one.
So was Daphne the mysterious woman?
After learning that her relationship with Kirk was doing fine, Daphne had deliberately sent her a message to make her misunderstand Kirk, leading to their relationship falling apart.
Caroline vaguely remembered she had met Daphne before going abroad, and they had caused a big scene because of the wedding dress.
When she thought about it this way, things started to make sense.
Ð âDarling After seeing Caroline put down her phone, Kirk walked over cautiously.
âDo you believe me now?â
When Caroline looked at his sad, cautious expression, she somehow felt both distressed and amused.
âNo, I donâtâ¦â
Kirkâs expression shifted in fear. âDarling â¦â
Seeing his reactions, Caroline curled her lips into an imperceptible smile. âBut I guess I trust you to a certain degree.â
Noticing the smile on Carolineâs face, Kirk also smiled.
âYouâll have to convince me with your actions for me to trust you fully,â Caroline declared. Then, she walked toward the theater. Sonia was still in there, after all.
Kirk felt the burden in his chest fade away at the sight. His steps were brisk even as he walked up to her.
âDarling â¦â
Caroline barked, âWhat?â
Kirk took her hand and cooed, âI havenât kissed you for so long. Can I kiss you?â
Caroline immediately blushed. âYouâre insane!â
âExactly! Iâm lovesick!â
Caroline stopped and turned to look at Kirk. âIâm sure youâre actually crazy!â As soon as she said that, she heard a slap not far behind her.
Caroline followed the sound and sprinted backstage.
When she arrived, she saw Sonia covering her cheek and looking at Daphne bitterly. After realizing what happened, she pulled Sonia behind her and slapped Daphne with the back of her hand.
Daphneâs face immediately swelled from the blow. She covered her cheek and glared at Caroline. â
How dare you hit me?â
âYouâre the one who attacked her first. Why wouldnât I hit you?â Caroline looked at Daphne coldly.
Daphne and Eddyâs second uncle had a fake marriage. But she had taken advantage of it and hurt others, flaunting the power she never had!
Daphne was trembling in anger. Her anger over losing the leading role in âDaughter of the Seaâ
had clouded her rationality.
Now that Caroline was yelling at her, she had nothing else to lose. She raised her hand and swung her palm at Caroline. âMind your own business, you bitch!â
However, the next second, her wrist was held in a firm grip, halting her slap.
Daphne stared at the man before her in shock.
