Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Chapter 58

Prompted by his words, Caroline opened the bag. Instantly, she saw a property deed inside. When she flipped to the first page, she found her name printed boldly on it.

Excited, she quickly read further.

The deed was for 103 Bishop Street in Hectafleur, the same neighborhood of villas where Caroline’s parents lived. This was the very same

unit they’d visited the other day. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Are you mad?” Caroline shot upright. “You actually bought it? How much did you spend? Where did you get that kind of money?”

Kirk grinned. He rubbed circles on the back of Caroline’s hand. “Didn’t you like the villa?”

Caroline got annoyed by his haughtiness. However, she softened her tone. “Yes. But even if I like it, you can’t spend money like it’s nothing. Every aspect of marrying and living together costs money.”

Kirk laughed. “And you have a married life with me?”

These words sounded great to Kirk. It was completely different from the other day. It had upset him when Caroline had said that they were

only contractually married.

Caroline’s ears turned red at his words. She said incoherently, “I–I didn’t mean that. I wasn’t saying

money on a whim.”

…

Oh, anyway, you shouldn’t spend

Kirk held Caroline’s hand and squeezed slightly. He was overjoyed, but his tone remained calm. “It wasn’t a lot of money.”

Caroline knew that he had to be lying. He’d bought the villa just to make her happy. She was very thankful, but she knew that this wasn’t

right.

“Kirk, I’m very glad that you bought me a villa. You even put my name on the deed! But I can’t accept this gift.*

Kirk’s expression shifted. His tone was stiff as he said, “Why not?”

“You worked hard to earn this money. I don’t know how you put together the deposit. But I know this means you’ll have to spend your life

working to pay off the bank loan. I hope you won’t waste the rest of your life just to afford a house. This villa is too much of a burden to

you.”

Kirk looked at her deeply.

Was she

concerned for him?

His heart felt filled with some unknown emotion. Even his eyes were smiling.

“What if I told you that this money means nothing to me?”

Kirk had no clue what a deposit was, and he definitely didn’t understand this bank loan thing. To him, a villa was just another number on the list of his properties.

“Stop lying to me already. Even if you’re a higher–up at Morrison Corporation, it takes a lot of hard work to make enough to buy a villa in Osbury. Besides, you’re only middle management.”

The only reason Caroline’s parents could still stay in Hectafleur after the fall of the Evans family was the Morrison family. They had been helping in secret all this time.

The Evans family couldn’t even afford the expensive fees for annual upkeep.

Kirk became impatient. “Alright, it seems I can’t keep it from you. Actually, I

Caroline listened intently and looked at Kirk with solemn focus.

“I bought it at a low price. I heard that the villa is haunted. The place is impossible to sell”

Caroline asked, “Really?”

Kirk nodded. He asked back, “You aren’t scared?”

Ghosts had never hurt her, but humans had. They had hurt her so many times. Humans were much scarler than ghosts.

Kirk chuckled. “You’re a brave one”

Caroline shrugged.

“So Kirk lowered his head. The mole at the edge of his eye drew Caroline’s attention. “Can you accept it now?”

His low voice was seductive and plucked at Caroline’s heartstrings.

As she held the property deed, her fingers trembled.
