Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Caroline was thunderstruck. “How can the company still be so intertwined with Morrison Corporation after so many years of in the business?” She had always thought the Evans Group had long since broken free from Morrison Corp’s influence. Even if they had help from Morrison Corp, it was just the occasional business deal recommendation. Dan’s face became flushed. The Evans Group had indeed contemplated becoming independent of Morrison Corporation, but the competition was too fierce. If they lost Morrison Corp’s support, it would already be a miracle if they didn’t suffer a loss. Earning money would be out of the question. Caroline let out an abrupt laugh. No wonder her father was so determined to kiss up to those big guns. “Carrie, I don’t want it to be this way either. Only you can save me now. I’m sure you wouldn’t want the Evans family to be ruined either, would you?” Caroline said through her tears, “So you’re willing to sacrifice me for the family?”

Dan dared not meet her gaze as he answered, “Carrie, it’s not up to me. As members of this family, we all have no choice.” Caroline laughed miserably as she stared at the father who had raised her. She sniffed dejectedly and asked, “Where’s Eddy Morrison?” “He’s… he’s probably at his office.” “Take me to see him.” “Carrie…” Caroline said expressionlessly, “Let’s go.” Dan moved his lips but didn’t dare to say another word in the end. He took Caroline to the Morrison Corporation building, feeling like she was no longer as obedient as last time. Eddy was giving Kirk a tour of the CEO’s office at Morrison Corporation. He said light-heartedly, ” What do you think? I watched over the renovation myself. The design is unique, isn’t it?” Kirk had a sharp eye and said, “You’re in a good mood today.” Eddy lowered his head with a laugh and said, ” Your eyes really don’t miss a thing, Uncle Kirk.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“So tell me, what’s putting you in such a good mood that you even called me over this morning?” Eddy was already smiling from ear to ear, and he scratched his head embarrassedly. “I dare not tell anyone else about this, so I guess you’re the only person I can talk to. Do you remember I went to the City Hall a few days ago?” Kirk nodded slightly, his expression giving nothing away. “Come to think of it, it’s quite weird,” Eddy said with a frown. “The clerks still haven’t found any information on Caroline’s husband. I have no idea who that man is, but …” He stopped frowning and said, “She’s going to get divorced today.” 1/2 Kirk’s expression remained unchanged, but his tone suddenly grew slightly grimmer. “Oh, why?” At that moment, someone knocked on the door and announced, “Mr. Morrison, Ms. Evans is here to see you.” “Caroline?” Eddy glanced at Kirk and said, “Uncle Kirk, you.. “Ask her in.” “Okay.” Eddy walked to the door and opened it. He told Richard, his secretary, “Go bring her here.” Richard nodded and went downstairs to escort Caroline. “Ms. Evans, Mr. Morrison invites you upstairs.” Caroline was sitting in the lounge, her gaze blank and her face pale. She was still wearing her pajamas under her jacket, looking lost and defeated. Hearing Richard’s voice, she steadied her nerves and followed him to Eddy’s office. She knocked on the door and heard Eddy’s usual frigid voice coming from inside. “Come in.” Caroline pushed the door open and saw Eddy sitting in his large armchair, his fingers tapping on the keyboard continuously. He seemed very busy. “Am I bothering you?” asked Caroline. 212
