Chapter 516
Bogus Billionaire
Daphne waved her hands, her face filled with fear. When Caroline saw Daphneâs reaction, she thought she was acting this scared because they had exposed her plan.
Little did she know that Daphne was afraid because Kirk was Carolineâs husband!
What was she supposed to do? A fraud like her had shown off her nonexistent power everywhere she went. Things wouldnât end well for her.
Just as Daphne was about to collapse from fear, Charles ran backstage, panting. âSir.â
He noticed the complicated situation and said cautiously, âIâve caught Dolly.â
Kirk glanced at Charles and dragged Daphne to him. âTake her away. Eddyâs second uncle said he would deal with her!â
When Charles heard that, he immediately understood that Kirk had gotten out of his predicament.
His true identity hadnât been revealed.
Charles couldnât afford to waste any time. He hurriedly dragged Daphne away. Daphne didnât return to her senses until she was thrown into the car.
Just like that, the fiasco backstage ended.
Caroline helped Sonia to the back door. Helena was already waiting there. She had rushed over immediately after finding out that Sonia had gotten the lead role in âDaughter of the Seaâ.
When she saw Soniaâs swollen swollen, she asked in distress, âOh no! What happened to you?â
Sonia didnât answer.
Caroline answered on her behalf, âDaphne hit her.â
When Helena heard that Daphne was behind this, she frowned.
âHer again? Sheâs simply doing what she wants because sheâs Eddyâs second uncleâs wife. I really hope she and Eddyâs second uncle get divorced soon.â
Sonia whispered, âThatâs enough, Helena. Iâm fine.â
âLook at you.â Helena looked at Sonia with distress.
She knew Sonia didnât dare upset Daphne for fear that she wouldnât be able to work in the entertainment industry anymore.
âBut donât be upset. Someone has already helped us take revenge.â
âWhat do you mean?â Sonia asked in confusion.
âWell.â Helena finally had a smile on her face at the mention of this.
âDaphne always thought she would be the female lead in âDaughter of the Seaâ.
âSo she had written a post congratulating herself on getting the role and set it to be released at a certain time. As a result, her post ended up getting released at the same time as the official announcement.â
Then, she continued, âOne post announced her as the female lead, while the other announced you as the playâs female lead.
âHer plans just blew up in her face. Now, many netizens have taken screenshots of both of these posts, sharing them all over the Internet. The comedic timing was amazing!â
Sonia finally smiled at her words.
âYouâre absolutely right. But to be fair, everyone thought Daphne would get the role before I joined the audition. So itâs normal for her to write a congratulatory post in advance.â
âYouâre right.â
Helena looked at Caroline gratefully. âTo be honest, Iâm really ashamed. Itâs a good thing you insisted on coming here, Ms. Evans. Otherwise, we would have missed such a good opportunity.â
Caroline waved her hand. âSonia deserves this. She has been working hard to get this role.
Without her dedication, sh wouldnât have gotten it.â
Helena added, âYou have a point. But if you hadnât insisted, Sonia would have joined the TV show instead of getting this amazing role.
âIâll be honest, Ms. Evans. I didnât believe you when you said you wanted to make Sonia a world-
renowned Aâlister. But now, you have my trust!â
Carolineâs first successful prediction about Sonia was likely good luck on her end, but getting it right the second time proved that Caroline was just that capable.
With Carolineâs guidance, Helena had complete confidence in Soniaâs future.
Sonia tugged at Helenaâs clothes. âLetâs go, Helena.â
She noticed Kirk, who was standing behind Caroline, looking impatient. They had better not be a third wheel here.
Only then did Helena notice Kirk, and she immediately straightened up.
