Chapter 576
Bogus Billionaire
After replying to Kirkâs text, Caroline sent him another text after a momentâs thought. âIâll be home on tae.â
When Kirk saw her text, he knew that she didnât understand what he was worried about.
But her ignorance made him feel at ease. It proved that she still believed what he said without any doubts, and she had no suspicions about his identity.
Nearby, Charles had long noticed that Kirk was lost in thought.
He reassured, âYou should take it easy, sir. Although Mr. Morrison Senior has begun suspecting youâre the madamâs husband, youâve never taken a photo with him.
âEven if heâs suspicious of you, he wouldnât have a photo to show her to confirm his theories.â
Kirkâs eyes darkened at his words. He said, âJust because he doesnât have a photo now doesnât mean he wonât have one in the future.â
He had to find the right time to tell Caroline about his identity. Otherwise, this fact would eventually become a ticking time bomb for him. It constantly made him uneasy.
However, the most challenging issue right now was how to handle Daphne.
He couldnât let Jude discover that his marriage with Daphne was fake and suspect that he was married to Caroline instead.
However, he also couldnât just annul the marriage with Daphne. Jude would investigate what she had done and connect the dots to the truth.
Basically, he had to prevent Jude from finding out the truth from Daphne. Hence, he had to handle this situation delicately.
âWhatâs going on with Daphne?â Kirk asked.
âIâve sent people to lock her up in her apartment. Theyâve also taken her phone and other communication devices.â
Kirk frowned. âDid you find anyone watching her?â
Charles answered truthfully, âMr. Morrison Senior still has people watching her. Weâve also elusive. We have no way of finding out who he isâ
Kisk frowned at his words âThereâs another party keeping watch on her? Why didnât you tell me such an important thing sooner?â
Charles explained. âSir, I wanted to tell you after I finished investigating Kirk breathed out slowly and pinched the bridge of his nose. He ordered, âYou have to find out who this person is as soon as you can!â
He couldnât believe another adversary had appeared before he had managed to handle Jude.
âYes, sir,â Charles answered and nodded.
When Jude learned that Caroline was coming, he greeted her at the door.
âHello, Grandpa.â
âHey!â Jude asked someone to take the gift from Carolineâs hands.
âYou finally came to visit me, Carrie. Iâve missed you so much.â
Caroline said with a smile, âIâve missed you too. How are you doing?â
âIâm doing pretty well.â Jude brought Caroline to sit down on the couch.
He praised, âHow about you? I heard youâve become Evans Groupâs CEO, and youâve been doing a great job. Iâm really proud of you.â
âThank you, Grandpa.â
The two chatted for a while. Then, they heard Eddyâs voice from outside the door.
âGrandpa! Grandpa!â His shouts grew louder and louder as he drew closer. Once he came in, he stopped yelling.
When Jude saw Eddy, he stopped smiling like he usually did. Instead, he frowned and asked unhappily, âWhat are you doing back home?â
Eddy was startled when he saw Caroline. In the past, Jude would have tried his best to notify him.
whenever Caroline came to visit.
