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
this?”
Caroline froze. She had almost ended the call. “Evans Group? Are you talking about the one that was part of the big four families in the
past?”
“Yes.” The caller sounded enthusiastic, as if he could tell that she was tempted by his offer.
“If you’re interested, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price.”
Caroline fell silent for a moment before telling him, “Let me check a part of the Information first. I need to know if what you’re giving me is genuine.”
“No problem,” he said, asking for her email address.
Five minutes later, the email came, and Caroline clicked it open to scan through the document.
Indeed, its content was all about Evans Group. The thing was that the longer she read through the document, the more unsettled she became.
Morrison Corp’s investment in Evans Group increased over the years. Logically speaking, Evans Group shouldn’t have suffered such a great loss every year, even if the company didn’t perform well.

At the very least, its deficit shouldn t have increased year after year.
Caroline continued scrolling, and soon she discovered that there was something off with the company’s accounts.
When she had made a bet with Eddy a few months ago, she had once transferred 500 thousand dollars to Evans Group’s account. However, there was no record of this in the company’s ledger at all 1
Just then, her phone rang again, and the caller asked, “What do you think? Do you want it?”
Caroline inhaled deeply and sald, “Yes. How much is it?”
“One thousand dollars,” he replied.
Caroline blinked, finding it dubious. She thought that perhaps he had missed the word “million.” What she just read should cost more than the price he requested.
She subconsciously tapped a finger on her table as the thought of this being a fraud flashed through her mind.
