Chapter 812
Bogus Billionaire
Averyâs expression shifted slightly. âWhere is she now?â
âShe left by plane,â Eddy sneered, slumping on the couch. He felt like his heart had been torn to pieces.
He was in so much pain that it hurt to breathe.
âShe must have gone abroad. Donât worry. Since weâre working together, Iâll keep my word. Remember, I still want to marry Kirk.â
Eddy wasnât optimistic. âDo we still have a chance?â
âOf course. As long as theyâre still alive, we have a shot. Youâre not going to give up so soon, are you?â
Hearing her words, Eddy slowly calmed down. âYeah. As long as sheâs still alive, I have a chance. So what should I do next?â
âYou donât have to do anything for now. Since sheâs out of the country, Iâll deal with this. Iâll tell you if I need your help.â
Eddy hummed in assent. Then, he asked, âWeâre more or less acquainted, right? Can you tell me who you are now?â
There was silence on the phone.
Eddy said, âItâs hard for me to trust you if you donât tell me who you are.â
âIâm Avery Mendeley.â
Eddy was stunned. âAre you the woman who has been pursuing Uncle Kirk?â
He knew who Avery was because she was well-known in Kirkâs circle. Almost everyone knew that she liked Kirk. He had come to know about Avery from Kirk as well.
Since Avery and Caroline were both the type who would boldly do anything regardless of the consequences, she had left a deep impression on Eddy.
But he hadnât expected Avery to still pursue Kirk while Caroline had abandoned him.
Every time Eddy thought about it, he regretted asking Caroline to donate her kidney to Layla in exchange for marrying him.
If that incident hadnât happened, his relationship with Caroline wouldnât have reached this point.
Come to think of it, Layla was to blame for all this.
At the thought of Layla, Eddy became confused again.
The Evans family didnât care that she had fallen into a coma. However, he couldnât do that. No matter what, Layla was his savior.
The daily medical fees were sky-high for other people. But they were just regular numbers in the Morrisons eyes.
What really bothered Eddy was how he would handle Caroline and Layla when the former returned. He couldnât just ignore Layla, could he?
While Eddy was worrying about this, Caroline had already arrived in Macldo.
As soon as she landed, she felt a sense of familiarity. âHow strange. Iâve clearly never been here before, but it feels like I have.â
Caroline looked at the airport. She had studied abroad, but she was 100% sure that she had never been.
here.
Sean said, âMaybe you visited here in your dreams. Letâs go. My family is already waiting for you.â
âOh, okay.â Caroline followed Sean out of the airport.
The two got into the car, and soon they arrived at the Yates familyâs home. Their home was a large manor with no end in sight.
Even Caroline, who had mingled with wealthy people, was shocked to see such a magnificent manor.
A butler was already waiting outside the manor with a car.
Caroline and Sean got into the car. The car slowly moved, passing through a large garden before arriving at the door of the main building.
There were even banners hanging at the door. âA warm welcome, Caroline.â
Caroline said, â⦠Your family is really enthusiastic.â
Sean smiled gently at her words, but he had a bad feeling about this. âYeah, letâs go in.â
With that said, the two walked into the manor. When they opened the door, they heard someone yell, Surprise!â
