BOGUS BILLIONAIRE - Season 5 Episode 87

Caroline left, leaving Sonia and Kirk alone in the room. An awkward silence hung in the air as they both kept quiet.

Sonia sat by the bed and stared at Kirk, who was resting with his eyes closed. She heaved a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was pretty good–looking, yet especially hard to get along with. His dominating air was too much to handle, and he always gave others a sense of sternness and rigidity.

She wondered how Caroline had been able to bear with him for such a long time.

Sonia tapped her nose and took out her phone to read her script, ignoring Kirk. It didn’t seem like he was going to strike up a conversation with her anyway.

She had received the script just yesterday. It was the work of an infamous playwright called Marietta Weiss.

Marietta had come to Easton this time in search of an actress for the female protagonist in her latest work, “Daughter of the Sea“.

It told the story of an Eastonian woman who had found her true love after traveling abroad. This character was a pretty lady who had learned to fight in the past and showed strength of character.

One of the producers thought that Sonia was a good fit for the role and had handed her the script. Her recent popularity had probably contributed to it too.

She had fallen in love with the story when she first set eyes on it. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the female protagonist in “Daughter of the Sea” was tailor–made for her.

Both Sonia and the female protagonist were orphans who had learned how to fight for self-

defense. Both of them worked hard in the city, too.

The only difference was that the character in the story met her true love abroad, whereas Sonia

met Caroline, who had given her a chance to shine in the entertainment field.

The many similarities between Sonia and the character made her even more determined to take

up the role. She was well aware that lots of actresses were after the role as well. It was Marietta

Weiss‘ work, after all.

Sadly, Sonia had only just gained popularity recently, so it would be an uphill task for her to

That was why she had come to see Caroline today. She had wanted to request Caroline’s help.

Upon reaching home, Caroline headed straight for the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Only after she had finished preparing and packing all the dishes did she allow herself to take a breather. She scrolled through her phone as she took a sip of water from her glass.

Just then, a notification popped up. Marina had sent her a message.

Caroline’s heart skipped a beat when she saw it. It had been a long time since Marina had

contacted her. An ominous feeling loomed over her heart for no apparent reason.

Marina hadn’t contacted her for the past few days, so Caroline had refrained from thinking about the matter regarding Kirk’s other wife. Now, though…

Inhaling deeply, Caroline summoned the courage to open her chat with Marina.

She swayed when she read the message and had to hold on to one of the chairs beside the dining table for support. The letters on the screen seemed to hover as her eyes swept across them.

It read, “Caroline, I got the information about the man’s wife from my friend. I’ll send it to you right away. Marina”

Below the message was information regarding Kirk’s wife. Caroline clicked open the file, her hands trembling as she did so. Her eyes turned as wide as saucers when she saw the image.

It took every ounce of her strength to stare at the picture on the screen.

She then collapsed on the chair with a loud thump. The person in the picture was none other than Daphne!

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Sonia noticed that Kirk had started becoming restless. She had been busy with the script, yet she couldn’t help but raise her head to look at what he was trying to do.

Kirk had his phone in his hand. He raised it to look at the screen and put it down the next instant.

He repeated this movement several times.

Finally, Sonia couldn’t stand it anymore. “What are you looking at?” she asked.

Kirk raised his eyes to look at her briefly with an almost unnoticeable smile. He then looked back
