Bogus Billionaire by Shining Riviera

Chapter 118

When Caroline arrived downstairs, she called Gwen, asking if she wanted to go shopping for gifts

together.

On the other end of the line, Gwen mumbled, “I have to work overtime today, so I can’t come with

you, Carol.”

Caroline replied, “It’s okay. Go ahead and work.”

After hanging up the phone, she looked up nearby places where she could buy gifts. By the time

she was done buying and wrapping the gifts, it was already evening.

The store did home deliveries, so Caroline gave the staff her address. Then, after checking the

time, she was about to call Kirk when her phone rang.

Caroline’s eyes turned cold when she saw the caller ID. She answered it after some hesitation.

“Carol.” Sarah asked flatteringly, “Are you free?”

Caroline answered coldly, “No.”

Sarah explained diffidently, “Layla knows she’s at fault for what happened at the competition.

She wants to treat you to dinner and apologize. Carrie, you should forgive when you can. Do it for

me…”

Caroline refused without hesitation. “No thanks. If she really wants to make it up to me, she just

has to leave me alone. That’ll make me happy.”

“Carrie!” Sarah raised her voice. “Eddy will be there too! This is your last chance. Don’t be stubborn!

Caroline clenched her fingers. Her mother had clearly only called her because she wanted her to

be part of the Morrison family.

She immediately hung up the phone and blocked her parents‘ numbers. Even after that, her body was

still shaking in anger. From now on, she had nothing to do with the Evans family!

At that moment, a black car drove up to Caroline. Two powerful men stepped out of the vehicle. ”

Caroline Evans?”

Caroline backed away cautiously, asking. “Who are you people?”

The two men looked at each other, and without saying a word, they forced Caroline into the car

and drove away. They moved so quickly that no one noticed what they were doing, despite it being

rush hour.

Soon, the car stopped.

Caroline was forced out of the car.

When she saw the building in front of her, her heart sank. She was at the Saint Pierre Grand Hotel,

which was owned by the Collins family.

Their business here was morally dubious, so the hotel had been built in a secluded place in the

suburbs. It would be difficult for someone to find this place.

Caroline gritted her teeth and struggled with all her might. However, the two men were too strong,

and they easily restrained her.

“Who the hell are you people?” she questioned.

The two men ignored her and took her to the 29th floor. When Caroline got out of the elevator, she

saw two rows of bodyguards standing in the central hall.

Before she could react, the two men pushed her toward the bodyguards. One of the men said, We’ve

brought the girl.”

The leader of the bodyguards nodded slightly. Looking at Caroline, he said politely, “Please go this way,

Ms. Evans.”

Caroline stayed rooted on the spot.

“Our boss is waiting inside. Please go in.” The bodyguard once again gestured Caroline toward the

room.

Caroline looked around. She was already surrounded by people who were closely guarding her. It

would be foolish to try to escape. She bit her lips unhappily and strode into the room.

When Brie heard her come in, she looked at her with a smile, swirling her wine glass. “You’re here.

Seeing that Caroline was alone, the smile on her face faded slightly. “Why are you alone?”

Caroline frowned. So, Brie was behind this.

She asked, “What are you trying to do by kidnapping me and bringing me here?”

Brie waved her hand. “No, no. I didn’t kidnap you. That’s against the law. I’m just inviting you for

dinner. How you arrived here has nothing to do with me.”

Caroline didn’t want to listen to her nonsense. She said coldly, “Let me go. You don’t want your crimes

to be broadcast on the news tomorrow, right?”

Brie sneered, walking up to Caroline. “This is my territory. Not even an insect could get in here. Even if

I killed you, no one would ever find out.”

Caroline clenched her fists.

“If you want to blame someone, blame that wonderful husband of yours. He actually had the gall to

threaten me, ordering me to leave you alone.”

Brie tightly gripped Caroline’s chin and said mockingly, “Well, let’s see how he’s going to kill me

for this!”

Caroline was about to raise her hand to retaliate when she heard Brie’s warning. “Don’t move.

There are bodyguards outside. They’ll crush you like an insect.”

“What are you planning?” Caroline questioned. She took a deep breath, calming herself down.

“Call your husband and ask him to come over!”

“No way in hell am I doing that,” Caroline refused. Considering there were so many bodyguards

outside, Brie had obviously come prepared. If Kirk came here, he wouldn’t leave this place alive.

“You’re more stubborn than I thought. Fine! Come in here, boys!”

Two bodyguards entered the room.

Brie ordered, “Take care of Ms. Evans!”

Caroline’s face turned pale as she backed away steadily. “Don’t! Stay away from me

Looking at Caroline getting cornered, Brie smiled disdainfully.

“Do whatever you want with her! You don’t have to worry about her status! As long as you clean up the

evidence from her body, the police will have a hard time getting proof! Even if she tells the world about

this, you’ll be fine!”

After that, she proudly told Caroline, “Let’s see how stubborn you really are!”

Brie left the room, closing the door behind her. Seeing this, Caroline wanted to escape, but the

bodyguards carried her like a sack of potatoes and threw her into a corner. 4

“Sorry about this, Ms. Evans!” Then, the bodyguards began tearing Caroline’s clothes.

In a restaurant, seeing that everything was ready, Gwen said excitedly, “We’re ready!”

Standing behind Gwen, Sean also looked at the balloons in the air with a smile. He asked Kirk, ”

What do you think, Kirk?”

Kirk had sweat on his expressionless face, but it was clear how happy he felt.

“If there are no problems, let’s call the woman of the hour!”

Gwen was excited. Now that she knew Kirk wasn’t cheating on Caroline and was even planning a

surprise proposal, she no longer hated him. She’d even volunteered to help with setting up the

scene.

Kirk took out his phone and called Caroline. However, even though he’d tried several times, she still

hadn’t answered.

“Let me try.” Upon seeing this, Gwen also called Caroline, but her call couldn’t get through.

“Didn’t you tell her you’d pick her up?” Sean asked.

Kirk frowned. After a moment, he walked out of the restaurant and called Jules.

On the phone, Jules told him in fear and trepidation, “Mr. Kirk, Caroline left the building a long time

ago.”

Kirk felt a trace of panic and called Charles.

He ordered sullenly, “Go and retrieve security footage from the surveillance cameras near Thorne

Corp. I want to know where Caroline is in three minutes!”
