Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Caroline was amused by Gwen’s outburst. “You’ve read too many romance novels. I just picked him off the street. He has nothing to do with the Morrisons. The only thing they have in common is that he works in one of their companies.”

“Oh.” Gwen was disappointed. “So he’s Eddy’s employee. Doesn’t that mean that Eddy can bully you whenever he wants?”

Caroline’s eyes darkened. “He … probably wouldn’t because of Old Mr. Morrison. Besides, I’m already married. Eddy probably won’t come and bother me anymore.”

Gwen relaxed a little, but when she thought of Eddy’s harassment, she felt angry on her friend’s behalf. “If it were up to me, I’d have beaten up that man. Does he not know how much you wanted to marry him?”

Caroline said, “It’s already in the past, Gwen. In the future, Eddy and I will be our own people. We will not interfere with each other.”

“So your marriage …” Gwen hesitated. “It hasn’t been made known to Old Mr. Morrison yet, has it? If he comes to know about it, he’ll be sad.”

Caroline had just begun to feel calm, but now she was worried again. She felt guilty when Jude was brought up. It was him who had finalized her engagement with Eddy. When the Evanses met their demise, everyone waited for him to retract his statement and turn her into a joke, yet he hadn’t done that at all. Instead, he’d publicly announced that she was the only person he would accept as his granddaughter-in-law.

Because of her, he and Eddy had argued several times.

Now that things had ended up this way, Caroline only felt guilty toward Jude.

“I’ll tell him tonight,” Caroline said. She would rather have him hear it from herself than from someone else.

Gwen was worried. “Do you need me to go with you?”

“No.” Caroline smiled. “He cares for me so much. He won’t do anything to me.”
