Chapter 849
Bogus Billionaire
Kirkâs words stupefied Caroline. She felt this strong feeling within her but couldnât recall anything related to Marietta.
Marietta held a gift in her hand as she and Yvonne walked over to Betty. Earlier that day, Marietta had called Betty, saying that she wanted to come over for a visit.
Unable to refuse her, Betty decided to invite her to join the barbeque party.
Of course, Marietta wasnât the one Betty had a problem with, but rather Yvonne.
Betty noticed that Yvonne was unusually deferential today as she stood behind Marietta.
Meanwhile, Yvonne noticed Bettyâs scrutinizing gaze on her and held herself back from scowling.
When she had found out that Marietta was coming to visit Caroline, she hadnât wanted to tag along.
But Avery had been right. The Yates family would definitely not let Caroline leave the house after what happened.
That was why Yvonne had come here. She needed to know what Carolineâs condition was before carrying out her plan.
Caroline had no memory of what had happened in the past year. Which means she must have forgotten about the things that Yvonne had done.
Yvonne began to devise another plan. Perhaps she could act friendly with Caroline and then strike when the opportunity arose.
While Yvonne was engrossed in her evil thoughts, Betty called Caroline and Kirk to come over.
When they came closer, Yvonne couldnât help but gaze at the masked Kirk.
He exuded a sense of nobility that even his mask couldnât hide. He had such a good figure, too. The fact that his face was covered made him even more mysterious.
Yvonne clenched her fists in a fit of jealousy.
Caroline sure was fortunate! First, she had Adrian, then there was Eddy. And now there was this mysterious, masked man.
He must be of similar elite status since he was associated with the Yates family.
How was luck always on Carolineâs side? She was a married woman, and still she had so many suitors!
âCarrie, Iâm Marietta Weiss.â As Marietta looked at Caroline, her gaze turned gentle and loving. Their was no faking her affection.
âYou⦠I heard that you lost your memories. You must not remember who I am. So letâs get to know each other once again.â
Marietta extended her hand, and Caroline shook her hand. âNice to meet you, Ms. Weiss.â
Everything was exactly the same as when they had first met.
Marietta shed a tear.
âHi Caroline, Iâm Yvonne. Mariettaâs my mother.â Yvonne held Mariettaâs arm.
She smiled and said, âMy apologies. I didnât know that you had lost your memories, so we had a misunderstanding that day. I shall apologize to you in front of everyone today.â
Caroline subconsciously turned to look at Kirk.
He nodded slightly back at her.
She replied, âNice to meet you.â
That was all she said.
Carolineâs curt reply pissed Yvonne off so much that she wanted to throw a tantrum. However, with so many eyes on them, she could only smile and say, âCaroline, letâs go grill some meat.â
She turned to Betty and asked, âMrs. Yates Senior, what do you think we should do?â
Betty replied, âCarrieâs feeling unwell today, so she doesnât have to lift a single finger.â
Yvonne was visibly irritated. It took her a moment before she composed herself. âOh, is that so? Then Iâll accompany you, Caroline. Iâll even tell you about all the things you donât remember.â
The atmosphere turned cold in an instant.
Bettyâs expression also changed. It was as if she were looking at an enemy now.
Kirkâs cold, piercing stare made Yvonne want to run away and hide herself.
She stammered, âD-Did I say something wrong?â
