Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Chapter 254

The company’s intranet had never bustled with so much activity before the first piece of news that caused Adrian in his car. The second one was a picture of Caroline getting into his car

Before this, someone had already found out that the person in the Maserati was indeed Adrian, the second son of the Sorkins.

Everyone was shocked to their cores to learn that he was the one they had always seen in the cafeteria

“This was a colossal mistake! Why didn’t I realize sooner that he was the Sorkins‘ second sont

“I’m crying my lungs out. There’s something wrong with my eyes. Why did I think he was just an ordinary person before this?

“Ladies, please slop your weeping. Adrian Sorkin’s married Caroline already, so it doesn’t matter if you met him sooner. He was married

ages ago.”

“So that was why Caroline went to the kitchen back then! Just look at the way he looks at Carolinet Who knew that they had been together since the beginning?”

“It’s funny how some people claimed that Caroline married a driver. Even if the one she’s married to isn’t Adrian, her husband surely isn’t Just an ordinary guy. You can’t lake the words of the filthy rich seriously. Someone even said that a million dollars wasn’t worth mentioning!

Although Thome Corp was a cosmetics company, it had its fair share of computer whizzes. It wasn’t long before someone discovered that Caroline and Adrian had known each other since they were young.

What’s more, he had left the country soon after she was sent away when she was eight years old. The thing was that they went to the same country abroad, not to mention the same state. The schools they studied at were only a street apart.

Despite the tiny bits of information they had received, many people started shipping Adrian and Caroline.

“Childhood sweethearts are the best sort of couples to ship!”

“The thing is that he delealed another childhood friend of hers!”

“Lmao! I’d like to see Eddy Morrison’s reaction to this!”

Caroline had just arrived home. She was about to turn on her computer to search for some information about Evans Group when Cheryl

messaged her.

“Caroline! I never knew you and Adrian were in a relationship! You’ve kept it hidden so well that I had no clue about it at all! -Cheryl”

Allached to her message were two links to the company’s Intranet. Only after clicking them open did Caroline realize that the incident this afternoon had spread like wildlire.

She knew that the topic was going to heat up, but she had never expected her colleagues to mistake her and Adrian for a couple.

There were some who commented that Adrian had had a crush on her for years and that he followed her abroad and returned to the

country with her.

They even said that he had always protected her in secret when she fell in love with Eddy and was hurt.

If the person they were talking about wasn’t her, Caroline would have believed everything they said. In truth, she and Adrian had little chance of interacting with each other.

She didn’t remember much of her life before she turned eight years old. So she lalled to understand how she and Adrian became childhood sweethearts out of the blue.

After she’d left the country, she had spent all her time burled in her books, studying, and training herself to become a “qualified” daughter- in–law for the Morrisons. The name Adrian was unfamiliar to her at the time. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

It was only after she spent time with Eddy that she met Adrian. Still, their encounters were brief and left no chance for interaction.

She really couldn’t comprehend how her colleagues managed to make up a whole heap of stories with their imaginations.

“What are you looking at?” Kirk asked as he stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Fog spilled out of the bathroom as ne approached Caroline and hugged her from behind. He leaned against her with his warm chest pressed against her back.

Caroline pushed him away absentmindedly, her eyes glued to her phone. “My colleagues are making up a story about me and a colleague.”

Kirk’s gaze sharpened. “Oh? What kind of story is it?”

“It’s a love story that tugs at one’s heartstrings,” she said, putting down her phone and glancing up at him.

Teasingly, she told him, “You’ve made my clothes wet.”

Kirk’s eyes held a touch of a smile. “You haven’t showered yet, anyway.”

He tilted her chin upward and asked, “Can I take a look at it?”

“Sure.” Caroline handed him her phone and added, “I truly admire them for their Imagination. They managed to call two people who have nothing to do with each other childhood sweethearts.”

Kirk’s gaze zeroed in on the words “Adrian Sorkin” while Caroline got up to grab herself a fresh set of clothes.

After scrolling through her phone for a moment, he raised his head and asked, “Darling, who did you go out to get lunch with today?”

“Adrain, the Sorkin family’s second son. You’ve heard of him, right?” Caroline grabbed her pajamas and entered the bathroom.

Kirk’s face darkened as he listened to the sound of running water. After a while, he grabbed his phone and walked out to the balcony to

call Charles.

“I want every bit of information you can get about Adrain Sorkin!”

Charles had sleep in his eyes when he answered the call. But he became wide awake the moment he heard Kirk’s hoarse voice. “Okay,” he

said.

Kirk fell silent for a moment after hanging up. He then picked up his phone once again to call Jack.

At the same time, Jack was busy packing his luggage. Tomorrow would be the last day he sent the madam to work.

After that, he’d go overseas and go back to where he came from. It wasn’t like he didn’t want to carry on with this job of his.

But he found it rather devastating that a long–term UFC champion like him was asked to drive someone to work every day.

He wanted to fight back! He wanted to punch someone so very badly!

That was the reason his eyes lit up in excitement the moment he saw the caller on his phone’s screen. “Mr. Kirk.”

“You’re staying here for now.”

Confused, Jack fell silent. A moment later, he sensed that Kirk was going to end the call, so he asked, “Why?”

He regretted asking right after that.

As a subordinate, he should be carrying out his superior’s orders, not questioning them,

On the other end of the line, though, Kirk didn’t get mad at him. He simply told Jack, “Keep an eye on Caroline. Stop her from getting in touch with Adrian.”

Jack was flabbergasted. Kirk was simply too possessive of Caroline.

Caroline walked out of the bathroom soon after Kirk ended the call. She had changed into her pajamas. She wore a pair of long pants and a long–sleeved shirt.

Despite that, the sight of her made Kirk’s eyes burn with desire. He beckoned to call her over and said, “Darling, I feel hot.”

“You’re feeling hot? Let me take a look.” Caroline approached him cautiously.

Just then, Kirk hooked an arm around her waist, which made her frown and say, “Did you just lie to me?”

“Nope.” Kirk was already kissing her by her earlobe. “I’m on fire.”

He was totally different from usual tonight, and Caroline was mad at him for this. She kicked him once, pulled the blanket over, and turned

Now completely rolled up in the blanket except for her eyes, she told him, “I’m going to sleep now. If you do it again, I’ll make you sleep on

the couch tonight.”

Kirk smirked and enveloped Caroline in his arms with the blanket still around her. He trapped her with his legs, cutting off any means of escape for her.

Caroline was so exhausted that she couldn’t care less about what he was trying to do. Somehow, she found this position strangely comfortable, so she didn’t resist and drifted into sleep soon.

As Kirk watched her sleep, the smile in his eyes eventually disappeared. Caroline was much too popular these days. Perhaps he should step up and tell the world who she rightfully belonged to.
