Chapter 723
Bogus Billionaire
âYeah I thought something was off when Marietta told me about it. But since she had just found her daughter, I thought she might have been too excited and remembered the details wrongly 7 remembered this while reading your manuscript the other day, so I asked someone to help me investigate. As it turns out, the Hacketts are now looking for their daughter.â
How can this be? Caroline still thought the situation was ridiculous. It was fine if they couldnât recognize a baby that was a few months old But how could they not notice that a different person had become their child?
Rosalind sighed. Iâm also racking my brain over this. Marietta has just found her daughter. If I tell her about this, she will definitely overthink things.
âCaroline, can you help her investigate and find out whatâs going on?â
âOf course,â Caroline had long regarded Mariettaâs issues as her own.
âThen, I can rest assured, I can see that you really care about Marietta and arenât hankering after her fame. Itâs a pity that her daughter wasnâtâ¦â
Rosalind sighed. Then, she didnât say anything else.
Caroline looked at the messages, lost in thought. It wasnât until Kirk sat beside her that she snapped back to reality.
âWhat are you looking at?â
Kirk noticed Mariettaâs name on her phone and immediately guessed that Carolineâs absentmindedness was related to her. He took Carolineâs phone. âDarlingâ¦â
Caroline looked up at him.
âIâm really worried to see you like this. The psychiatrist said that youâre already under a lot of pressure 11 Caroline hugged Kirkâs waist and nuzzled against him âIâll keep my mental state in check about Aunt Mary 1 wonât let it affect the treatment.â
Kirk stroked Carolineâs hair. âOkay, but if you canât take the pressure anymore, you must tell me.â
Caroline nodded. âOkayâ
After returning from the psychiatric clinic, Caroline hadnât had nightmares again. She was very confident about moving on from the trauma Judeâs death had caused her, just like she was confident about getting Collins Group.
*After we acquire Collins Group, why donât you take care of it?â Caroline asked Kirk.
Kirk asked, âDo you want to be an absentee boss?â
âIâm just worried that youâll be bored at home.â Even so, Caroline did want to be a handsâoff boss and focus on her creative avenues.
Kirk pondered for a moment. âDarling, of course Iâll be the CEO, but you have to show me some sincerity.â
âHow?â Caroline asked, ready to run away. However, Kirk was one step ahead and grabbed her waist.
Caroline whimpered, her voice becoming flirty.
The bright sun shone on them from its spot in the sky, silently watching the scene unfold.
The second treatment Michael had planned involved using hypnosis to make Carolineâs memories fade away. As expected of a professional psychiatrist, he only needed two minutes to put Caroline to sleep with hypnosis.
Kirk and Sean watched Caroline through the glass. Noticing Kirkâs nervousness, Sean patted him on the shoulder. âDonât worry. This is only the first real treatment. Caroline would get past it without any problems.â
Kirk pursed his lips, remaining silent.
When Sean saw this, he didnât say anything else. He knew that Kirk was holding his emotions in.
He had been doing it since he had left the house.
