Bogus Billionaire by Shining Riviera by Shining Riviera Novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402  When Caroline got back to the apartment, she stayed on the couch without moving. She didn’t  think of anything, nor did she do anything. She simply stared at the ceiling in a daze.  But she was still in great anguish. It felt like her heart was being stabbed and cut by countless  knives, over and over again.  Sometimes, she hurt so badly that she could barely breathe. She even thought that the pain might  torture her so much that she would die.  But she didn’t. She remained alive.  Caroline could distinctly feel each wave of pain in every heartbeat as she breathed.  Caroline hugged her knees and curled up into a ball.  She tried to recall the pain from her breakup with Eddy in order to cover up the pain she felt now.  But it was in vain because she had long ago forgotten the pain Eddy had brought her.  When she couldn’t withstand the pain in her heart, Caroline thought of drinking to get rid of the  suffering.  Caroline dragged her heavy body and hailed a cab to head to a bar.  The bar was a den of iniquity. Everyone was trying to have fun without inhibition. Even if Caroline  cried uncontrollably, no one would take notice.  Caroline liked this sort of place. She ordered a dozen bottles of beer and took a seat in a booth,  slowly drinking glass by glass.  However, she didn’t notice that two pairs of eyes were staring at her.  By the time she got to the sixth glass, Caroline was already feeling dizzy. Her feet were planted on  the ground, but she didn’t feel it. Furthermore, the pain had miraculously moved from her heart to  her temples.  Caroline propped her chin up and stared at the colorful lights on the ceiling. Slowly, the lights  blurred and became lines that rearranged into Kirk’s face.  In an instant, Caroline was alert. She got a shock and ducked her head. But when she looked down,  she saw Kirk’s face again. She frantically looked elsewhere.  1/2  +15 BONUS  Yet, no matter where she looked, she could still clearly see Kirk’s face.  Kirk was like a shape–shifting monster that haunted her every step.  The suffocating feeling rushed into her heart.  Right then, a waiter came over with a glass of beer. “Miss, your beer.”  Caroline looked up at the waiter and was horrified to find that even the waiter’s face had  transformed into Kirk’s.  Without thinking, Caroline picked up the beer and finished it.  The waiter got a fright from Caroline’s behavior. He asked in concern, “Miss, are you alright?”  Caroline slumped her head down in pain, not hearing what the waiter said.  At a bar, countless people drowned their sorrows in drink, so the waiter didn’t think more of it. He  took his tray and went off.  Not long after […]

Chapter 401  In the end, Cheryl didn’t dare ask about it. She was afraid that Jack had only said that he had let  go of his feelings because he wanted to keep staying by Caroline’s side.  Meanwhile, Daphne found out that Caroline had signed with Sonia while she was playing cards  with Jane. The second she heard that the celebrity was a no–name one, her expression went dark.  The two wealthy ladies sitting with them were friends Jane had brought to play with them.  Seeing Daphne’s expression change, one of them asked in concern, “What’s wrong, Ms. Dawson?”  Daphne had to try very hard to keep from bursting into curses right then and there. “It’s about  work. I have to deal with it for a moment.” As she said this, she strode toward the villa’s entrance.  Her manager chased after her.  At the door, Daphne couldn’t hold it in anymore. “What does Caroline mean by this? Is she trying  to tell me that I’m nothing compared to some no–name celebrity?”  Daphne’s manager was sweating. She didn’t really understand what was going on in Daphne’s  head.  “All I did was sign with Layla instead of with Caroline. Does she have to annoy me this way?”  Her manager said, “Daph, don’t be angry.”  “How could I not be angry? She’s getting more popular because of me. I’m so mad!”  At that thought, Daphne recalled how Kirk had given Caroline gifts, and she felt a new surge of  hatred rushing up. She grabbed the documents in her manager’s arms and threw them all to the  ground.  Jane had followed Daphne. When she saw Daphne reacting this way, she went forward and said, ‘  Daph, what’s going on? Who made you so mad?”  Hearing this, Daphne felt so aggrieved that her eyes went red. “It’s that Caroline, of course!”  Jane frowned. She got mad at the mention of Caroline too. But it was just too bad that she was  Sean’s wife. If they made a move against Caroline, they would risk offending Sean.  “Did you know? Caroline isn’t actually Sean Yates‘ wife. We were tricked last time!”  ”  1/2  +15 BONUS  “W–what did you say?” Jane’s eyes bulged in her agitation.  “Caroline isn’t Sean’s wife?”  “That’s right. Layla told me about it. I got someone to investigate, and it seems that Sean is pursuing Caroline’s friend. It was that woman we saw at the bridal boutique that day. But I also  heard that they broke up.”  Jane tugged at Daphne. “Daph, you have to give me all the details for such big news!”  Daphne didn’t understand since she didn’t know that Jane had a grudge against Caroline. Still, she  told Jane everything she had uncovered and what Layla had told her.  After listening, Jane scoffed. “As I thought. That Caroline could never be lucky enough to marry  Sean!”  As she spoke, she turned to look at Daphne. “Daph, don’t you want revenge after suffering so  much at Caroline’s hands?”  “Yes. I’ve been dreaming about it. But I can’t think of what to do.”  “Don’t worry. I have a great idea.” Jane moved to whisper in Daphne’s ear.

Ezra’s brows furrowed as he looked at Dustin bitterly, “Ah, so you’re Dustin,” Alistair said, recognizing Dustin. After all, the recent family event, especially the Dew Balm formula debacle, was still fresh in his mind. “Mr. Welch, I heard that your father is suffering from hysteria. Would you mind if I take a look?” Dustin

The following morning, Dustin was in a cozy, secluded villa. He sat on the bed with his legs crossed, focused on his training. When the sun rose, he slowly opened his eyes.

Bogus Billionaire by Shining Riviera ( Caroline Evans ) Chapter 400

Chapter 400  “What?” Caroline took a step back and interrupted Kirk. “Enough. If you’re still hesitating at this point, I doubt you’re going to tell the truth “How about this? I’ll give you time to think about it. Once you come up with a lie, you can come and see me again.” After saying that, Caroline picked up her luggage and strode downstairs. Kirk caught up to her when she reached the doorway. “Where are you going? I’ll drop you off.” Kirk gripped Caroline’s wrist as he begged sincerely. The words to reject him stuck in Caroline’s throat. They wouldn’t come out, no matter how hard she tried. She squeezed her eyes shut. Seeing that Caroline wasn’t rejecting him, Kirk let her go and put her luggage in the trunk. In the car, Caroline didn’t say anything more than “Take me home“. She didn’t want to speak to Kirk, and she didn’t have the energy to talk anyway. Kirk wanted to say something more, but Caroline had already slammed the door closed on him. He could only stand there without saying a word. After Cheryl got into contact with Sonia’s manager, the manager used Sonia’s social media to announce the collaboration. Cheryl also shared the post, and it was considered an official announcement. Since Sonia wasn’t a very famous, celebrity, Cheryl didn’t expect there to be a huge reaction to the announcement. But on the way home, she noticed that both Evans Group and Sonia were trending. After a while, Cheryl finally figured out what had happened. It seemed that someone had posted news that Evanson Corporation had hired Daphne Dawson as their brand ambassador. Thus, the competition between Evans Group and Evanson Corporation had been brought up again. 1/2 +15 BONUS Someone had even published a posting asking which company people would support since both Evanson Corporation and Evans Group were going with a horoscope theme. Naturally, Cheryl would choose Evans Group. After voting, she realized that there were only a few votes fo: Evans Group. She guessed that those votes had probably come from Sonia’s fans. Cheryl sighed. Jack heard her sigh as he drove. He laughed and said, “What’s wrong?” Cheryl waved her phone in the air and told Jack about the vote online. After listening, Jack said, “But I think Ms. Evans will win.” “Why?” Cheryl was curious. In all honesty, she wasn’t very confident. “Hmm. It’s a feeling, I guess.” Jack spun the steering wheel. “Before, when she was at Thorne Corporation, everyone thought Ms. Evans had no experience and wouldn’t be better than that… What’s her name?” (1) “Vivian Patterson.” “Right, right.” Then, Jack continued, “You know what happened with that.” “Yes, that’s true.” Cheryl looked down to see all the mocking words in the comments. “But these people don’t have faith in us. Not even the people at the company do, and this is their project.” Yet, Jack still smiled and said, “I believe in Ms. Evans.” Hearing Jack’s light tone, Cheryl smiled as well. But then her expression dimmed. She opened her mouth and tried to speak, but said nothing even after many attempts. Jack was focused on driving. So he didn’t notice Cheryl’s hesitation. Seeing how unbothered Jack was, Cheryl gave up. Jack said he had given up on his feelings for Caroline while at Thorne Corp, but… 212 +15 BONUS
