Bogus Billionaire
Yvonne.â Marietta felt it was necessary to make things clear to her.
âI may not know why you dislike Carrie, but itâs all thanks to her that we were able to reunite again âYou must have a heart. I respect your preferences, but you mustnât be mean toward someone who has helped us.â
Seeing that Marietta was very angry, Yvonne quickly grabbed her arm and whined, âMom, I know my mistake now. I wonât do it again.â
âAre you telling the truth?â Marietta looked at Yvonne skeptically.
âYes, really!â Yvonne had a sweet smile, and she looked wellâbehaved and sensible. She didnât look like she was lying at all.
Marietta smiled and said, âNow, thatâs my good daughter.â
Yvonne hugged Marietta, hiding the cold glint in her eyes.
âWhy are you sitting on the ground?â When Kirk entered the door, he saw Caroline sitting on the ground.
Caroline raised her head and looked at him in confusion. Kirk felt his heart almost leap out of his throat at the sight.
âDarling,â he said cautiously, as if he were afraid of startling her.
Carolineâs gaze gradually became lucid, and her eyes landed on the white shirt on the ground. But her mind was in a mess.
âWhy is there blood on your clothes?â she asked hoarsely.
Kirk followed Carolineâs gaze. He noticed the blood on his shirt, and his eyes darkened. Those blood stains probably belonged to Eddy.
At that time, he had dragged Eddy into the house and taught him a lesson. However, he hadnât noticed that Eddyâs blood had splattered on his shirt.
âMaybe Jack got injured and got his blood on my shirt.â After Kirk finished explaining, he watched Caroline closely.
She answered in a daze, âYeah.â
Kirk said hesitantly, âDarling?â
Caroline looked up at him.
âDid something happen?â Kirk asked. Caroline wasnât acting right. Kirk was worried that her mental illness had acted up again.
âItâs nothing. Aunt Mary called me just now. She told me she is leaving in a few days.â
Kirk calmed down at her words. âDarlingâ¦â He hugged Caroline gently.
She hugged him back, trying hard to feel his warmth. However, she couldnât stop her tears from flowing.
After crying for a while, she finally looked up at Kirk. âI didnât spend much time with Aunt Mary, but she means a lot to me. I want to buy her a gift.â
âOkay, Iâll go with you.â Kirk held Carolineâs cold hand. He used his body to block his shirt from.
her line of sight.
Caroline sat on the bed briefly before changing her clothes to leave the house. It seemed that she had completely forgotten about the white shirt.
Kirk, who had dodged a bullet, picked up his white shirt and put it in a trash can. Then, he sent Jack a message.
After sending the message and getting a definitive answer, Kirk put his phone away and went to buy a gift with Caroline.
Meanwhile, Eddy found himself in a strange place when he woke up. There was no trace of light at all. He raised his hand and instantly felt as if his body had been run over by a car.
The pain made him hiss, and he slowly remembered what had happened that morning.
