BOGUS BILLIONAIRE - Season 5 Episode 41

It was already 3:00 pm by the time Caroline finished the discussions with the factory. Once she

left the factory, she hurriedly turned her phone on.

Marina still hadn’t messaged her. Instead, she found voice messages from Gwen.

Gwen said, “I don’t know what happened. According to my dad, a bunch of people dragged him out

of the car when he was getting off work. They let him go after beating him up.

“With the way he flirts with people, he probably offended someone he shouldn’t. That’s why he

got beaten up in revenge. It’s hilarious.”

Then, she asked, “Carol, do you want to go out for dinner? I’ll treat you.”

Caroline was smiling as she listened to the voice messages. She texted, “Sure.”

Then, she went back to the chat with Marina. She sent a message that read, “Have you found

anything yet?”

Marina replied instantly, saying, “Not yet.”

Right after, she also sent an emoji that communicated confusion. “It’s so weird. I can only find

information about his relationship status, not who his wife is.”

“Isn’t it on the same document?” Caroline asked in a text.

“That’s the weirdest part. It’s not written there.”

Marina replied, “That’s probably impossible.”

Caroline’s heart fell. That was true. How could it be fake? If it had been fake, Kirk would have told

After all, it was better than waiting to see what new lie Kirk would come up with this time. Investigating it herself was the better choice.

Caroline let out a breath, feeling dejected.

She had been planning to consider divorce after returning to Easton, but she had to delay it since the whole situation was such a mess.

After getting off work, Caroline had Jack pick Gwen up before heading to dinner.

Once Gwen got into the car, she started chattering about what had happened to her father. She exaggerated it a lot, making it sound absolutely pathetic.

It made Caroline smile and temporarily forget the sadness she felt because of Kirk.

The restaurant they went to was the one where Gwen had gotten drunk that one time.

The manager remembered Caroline and came forward. Respectfully, he asked, “Ms. Evans, would you like a private room?”

Caroline beamed. “You remember me?”

“Of course,” the manager said.

“When you and Mr. Sorkin came for a meal, he purposely changed his clothes for it. That’s why I

remember you so well.”

Caroline was stunned. She didn’t remember this at all.
