Chapter 827
Bogus Billionaire
After Yvonne left, a man in the room spoke with a husky voice, âThat woman didnât notice me despite I was here for a long time. Are you sure that stupid errand girl can kill Caroline for you?â
It was Finn.
He had come there with Avery. With the black clothes he was wearing, he blended into the darkness perfectly.
No wonder Yvonne hadnât been able to spot him.
Hearing what he said, Avery sneered and looked up. âIâm not using her. To me, sheâs just a bait.â
She was just a bait to lure someone, who would actually perform the task, out.
Finn put on a mysterious smile and said, âHow about Eddy? He adores Caroline so much. If he finds out that you intend to kill her ⦠Arenât you afraid heâll turn against you?â
âOh, câmon.â Avery jeered at him.
âHeâs just like a kid who didnât get his toy. Yes, he adores Caroline. But I bet he doesnât have that kind of courage to put himself and the Morrisons at stake just for her.â
Finn lightly tapped on the face mask. He neither agreed nor objected to what Avery had said.
Avery suddenly turned her head and looked at Finn. âBesides, if your plan succeeds, who else will still care about him?â
Finn said with an eager tone, âWhat if it doesnât?â
Beneath the colorful lighting, Averyâs expression darkened. She turned around and made a clicking sound while walking in her heels. âActually, I feel like the chance of succeeding is high.â
After all, she was using a fatal method this time. Nobody could escape it.
It was 10:00 pm. With much reluctance, Adrian finally left Yates Manor.
Even though he wanted to stay with Caroline, he couldnât help feeling annoyed when he saw her chatting with Kirk happily.
What Sean had said came to Adrianâs mind again when he got in his car.
Should he really give up?
Adrian looked up to the sky. It was the first time he wanted to give up.
At the same time, Kirk was still in the living room.
Betty teased Caroline, âCarrie, you were outside for the whole day. Arenât you tired? Why donât you head upstairs to rest?â
Caroline shook her head.
She had no idea why she could chat non-stop with Mr. Y without feeling sleepy at all.
Mr. Y resembled a deep abyss with no end, who could surprise her from time to time.
Besides, he was also like an old friend who knew her well. So, they resonated a lot of times.
Betty looked at Caroline. âYou silly child,â she thought.
She said, âThen Iâll head upstairs first.â
After Betty left, Caroline and Kirk were the only ones in the living room.
In a soft tone, Kirk spoke, âMaybe you should go to bed.â
Caroline pouted. âI donât feel sleepy. I still want to chat with you. Also, if I let you go now, I donât know when Iâll meet you again.â
Seeing how much Caroline relied on him, Kirk felt like countless needles were pricking his heart.
He couldnât hold her in his arms, even though she was right in front of him.
âMr. Y, can I ask you a question?â Carolineâs voice interrupted his thoughts.
âOf course,â Kirk answered.
âDid you go through a life-changing event?â Carolineâs question put Kirk in shock.
âWhat makes you think so?â he asked, trying to suppress his emotions.
âBecause I feel that your eyes are filled with sorrow as if you are holding something back.â
Caroline stared into his eyes. As though enchanted, she leaned closer.
Kirk could clearly feel Carolineâs breath brushing on his cheek even through the mask.
