Chapter 635
Bogus Billionaire
Gwen tried to stop herself from giving it away, but Caroline still noticed that something was wrong with her.
âWhatâs wrong? Why arenât you talking?â Caroline asked and turned to follow Gwenâs gaze.
Gwen thought of raising her hands to block Carolineâs view, but it was all too late. The latterâs foot hit the brakes, causing the car to come to an abrupt halt.
âCarol,â said Gwen as she looked at Carolineâs startled expression.
âDonât get mad yet. Maybe he has his reasons for doing this.â She turned to look in Kirkâs direction.
once again, but he had gotten into a car.
âLetâs tail him and see where heâs headed. We shouldnât let history repeat itself and misunderstand him again,â Gwen pouted all while tugging at Carolineâs sleeve.
For a moment, Caroline pursed her lips in silence. âNo matter what he does later on, Iâll beat him up when we catch him redâhanded, and you canât stop me by then!â
âI wonât! I wonât!â Gwen said in haste, worried about Carolineâs condition.
âLet me drive.â
Without a second to waste, Caroline tossed Gwen the car keys and climbed into the backseat.
Gwen stole a glance at Caroline while climbing into the driverâs seat, unsure of what to say. She revved the engine, and the two of them started their mission of tailing Kirk.
Kirkâs car headed south all the time. It became apparent that he was heading for the suburbs.
As the women followed his car from behind, Gwen tried to reassure Caroline. âIâm sure he wonât mess around, so just relax.â
Caroline remained silent all the while, so Gwen said, âItâs too quiet in here. Let me play a song.
Yet Caroline stayed quiet. Then, Gwen scrolled through her song list and randomly played one of the songs. She didnât expect the song she clicked to be titled âHappy Breakup.â
Silently, Gwen cursed at her phone. She didnât forget to curse at Kirk, too. Did he have such an awful memory that he couldnât learn from the past?

Silently, Gwen cursed at her phone. She didnât forget to curse at Kirk, too. Did he have such an awful memory that he couldnât learn from the past?
Caroline had just forgiven him a couple of days ago. Yet now he was lying to her again. How atrocious!
Just then, Gwenâs phone started ringing. She glanced at the screen and realized Sean was calling her.
The car stopped at the red light just in time for her to answer the phone. âWhat is it?â Gwenâs tone was foul when she spoke.
Poor Sean was clueless as to what he did to make her angry, but he still adopted a gentle tone when he spoke. âWhere are you? Itâs been an hour and a half already.â
Gwen gritted her teeth and barked a laugh. âJust wait, will you?â
She hung up right after that, leaving a puzzled Sean wondering what had gone wrong. He tried to call Caroline, but she didnât answer.
It wasnât Carolineâs intention to miss his call, but rather, she was so deep in thought that she didnât notice him calling.
Her attention was focused solely on the car in front of her. It had never crossed her mind that Kirk would lie to her yet again!
So this was the reason he had acted so strangely on the other end of the line. He had never gone on a business trip!
Caroline took several deep breaths to keep her tears at bay.
âCarol-â Gwen turned to glance at her.
âKirkâs car entered the residential area ahead. Should we go in or just wait right here?â
Caroline snapped back into reality and said, âLetâs head in.â All she wanted to do right now was find out why he had lied to her.
Hearing that, Gwen stared at Caroline with eyes full of worry, but the latter had already gotten out of the car. Left with no other choice, Gwen rushed after Caroline.
All this time, Sean had a sinking feeling that something had gone wrong. He couldnât contact Caroline even though he had called her many times.
After giving it some thought, he decided it was best to call Kirk.
