Bogus Billionaire novel (Caroline and Kirk) novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482 

When Caroline woke up the next day, she found that there were several missed calls from Gavin. 

Surprised that she had slept so fitfully through his calls, she hastily patted her cheeks in an 

attempt to make sure that she was fully awake. 

Her movements roused Kirk. One of his legs was pressed stubbornly against her body, and he 

mumbled, “Darling, it’s still early. Let’s sleep for a little longer… 

“I have to call someone back.” 

“It can wait,” Kirk muttered into her back. 

After trying hard to recompose herself, she told him. “No. I have to make the call now.” 

Gavin had called her multiple times. It could only mean that something had happened. 

Kirk’s eyelids fluttered open. Eventually, he relented when he saw the determined expression on 

her face. “Fine,” he said. 

Her expression made her seem as though she was a scumbag who wanted to shirk all 

responsibilities after a one–night stand. 

Shaking off all the messy thoughts in her mind, Caroline picked up her phone and left the room. 

A breeze blew when she got to the corridor, the cold helping to make sure that she was wide 

awake. 

She dialed Gavin’s number and took a breath to calm down before he answered the call. 

Soon, Gavin’s anxious voice sounded from the phone. “You finally answered your phone!” 

“What happened?” 

“Dan came to see me yesterday and asked me to drop the lawsuit.” Gavin pressed his fingers 

against his temples. 

“He said that if I don’t do it, he’ll ask Eddy to impose a sanction on our company.” 

“I didn’t think too much of it at first, but he mentioned Layla …” 

Gavin continued, “I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep last night. So I called you to discuss our 

next step.”

Now, it was Caroline’s turn to massage her temples. She fell silent for a moment before asking him, “Is Eddy up to something?” 

“Not for now.” 

“If that’s the case, we don’t need to worry about this yet.” 

“But Layla and Eddy are-” 

“Layla’s not a Samaritan. Dan has to give her something that will catch her eye. Otherwise, she won’t see any reason to help him,” Caroline explained. 

“For now, there’s nothing he can offer her in return for her help.” 

The weight on Gavin’s heart lifted instantly at her words. 

“Besides, Dan has indeed broken the law by getting involved in corruption. There’s no doubt that he will be punished. If Eddy has his back now, the Morrison family will be doomed.” 

Relief washed over Gavin, and he said, “I can finally stop worrying now. Sorry for calling you so many times last night.”
