Chapter 256

“Thank you so much, Mrs. Collins. You’re too kind to me.”

“It’s my pleasure. We’re family, after all.”

After chatting for a bit. Jane yawned and said, “I won’t take your time anymore since you still have a film to shoot.”

After she left, a horde of people crowded around Daphne and started pestering her with their comments of admiration.

“Ms. Dawson! You’re so lucky! I always thought that a famous actress like you would lead an extravagant lifestyle, I didn’t know that the filthy rich would be such spendthrifts! She gave you 24 handbags like it was nothing!”

“Does your husband treat you like this too? You should get yourself a mansion to store all your bags!”

“I’m turning green with envy! Ms. Dawson, give me some of your luck!”

This was exactly what Daphne wanted. Kirk couldn’t care less about her, but as long as the Collins family tried to get on her good side. nobody would doubt that she was Kirk’s wife.

A soft smile formed on her lips, and she told them, “It’s nothing, really. All of you are exaggerating. We Just own a bit more luxury cars, properties, clothes, and jewelry compared to others.”

“A bit more? Or do you mean a million more?” Someone teased.

“Ms. Dawson, bring your husband here to us! Rumor has it that he’s a genius among the business elite. Is he good–looking? Let us meet

him!”

Daphne’s expression turned ugly for a moment when she heard that, but she covered it up quickly and said, “Sure. But he’s busy handling

his business overseas. I don’t think he has much time to spare.”

“It’s fine. We’re free whenever he comes for a visit.”

Daphne was at a loss for words and didn’t reply.

The next day. Caroline received a call from a private detective while she was working. It wasn’t from Quentin but from a detective she

found through an advertisement.

She hung up without a second thought.

The caller was relentless and called her a second time. This time, Caroline answered the call.

Trying her best to be patient, she said, “Haven’t I told you before that I’ve found another private detective who’s more reliable?”

The person on the other end of the line answered. “Miss, I have some information on Evans Group’s internal affairs. Are you interested in
