Chapter 714
Bogus Billionaire
When Eddy had arrived at the underground parking lot of Morrison Corporation this morning, he had been railed into another car by two people. After a bumpy ride, he had arrived at this place At first, he had thought they were trying to rob him. But unexpectedly, they hadnât mentioned anything about that. After throwing him out of the car, they had begun beating him up.
They had hit Eddy so many times that he had felt his head give out. Halfway through, he hadnât been able to take it anymore and passed out. That was how he had ended up like this when he woke up.
Eddy turned his head and finally saw a glimmer of light in the darkness. It looked like a phone.
He moved his hands with difficulty, and it took him more than three minutes before he finally grabbed the phone. Using all his strength, he dialed Thomasâ number.
Thomas quickly answered the phone. He seemed to be in a room full of people. âHello? Whatâs the matter, Eddy?â
âDad⦠Help me Thomas was silent for a moment, and then Eddy heard his voice again. âEddy, where are you?â
But he had already exhausted all his strength.
When Thomas didnât get an answer from Eddy, he panicked. He quickly walked out of the private room to look for him.
Fortunately, Eddyâs phone still had a signal. Morrison Corpâs employees quickly found Eddy using his phone signal.
When Thomas saw his son barely alive, he nearly passed out from anger. He quickly had people take Eddy to the hospital and sent someone to investigate his assault.
The next day, Caroline learned about Eddyâs hospitalization from Gwen âHe seems to be in a serious condition.â Gwen couldnât bring herself to laugh this time. Although Eddy was despicable, she still had some sympathy for him.
âI heard from the doctor that they had spent all day trying to save him. He was transferred to the general ward this morning. I wonder who was brave enough to attack Eddy.â
Caroline put her tablet in her bag and said, âI guess things are pretty bad for him. I remember he got beaten up not too long ago too.â
âYeah, heâs not having a good time.â
Gwen shrugged and changed the subject. âCarol, are you going to see Aunt Mary today?â
âYeah, Iâm guessing weâll never meet again after this.â
âDonât be so negative,â Gwen advised.
âIf you want to see her, you can always visit the country she lives in.â
Caroline smiled at her words. Marietta didnât want her to suffer, but she also didnât wish for Marietta to suffer from being caught in the middle.
This was the best possible scenario for them. Marietta should leave at the best possible time.
âDo you need me to come with you?â Gwen asked worriedly after not hearing a response from Caroline.
âOf course you can, provided that youâre free.â
They were going to an audition. There should be many handsome guys, so Gwen should enjoy it very much.
Sure enough, Gwen said merrily, âOkay, sure! I want to see some hot guys.â
Caroline smiled. She went out to meet Gwen, and they went to the audition together.
This casting call was open to the public. When Caroline and Gwen arrived, they saw a long queue waiting at the door.
âThere are so many people.â Gwen nearly passed out with joy when she saw the street filled with beautiful women and handsome men.
âLetâs go in.â Caroline was worried that Marietta was already waiting inside. So, she dragged Gwen through the crowd and walked into the venue.
On the third floor, Caroline saw the office of the screenwriter that Marietta had introduced to her.
The screenwriter had a very poetic name. Rosalind Winslow.
Caroline was about to knock on the door when she heard the sound of high heels clacking sharply
