Bogus Billionaire by Shining Riviera

Chapter 138

A chill ran up Avery’s spine, but she still pretended to be clueless. “Kirk, what are you trying to tell me? Don’t beat around the bush.”

“I’ve given you a chance.” Kirk’s voice was dangerously low.

“If it hadn’t been for your parents, I wouldn’t even be here to talk to you.”

“I get it now.” Avery smiled bitterly at him. “After everything, you’re saying that I was the one who told them to do it, right?”

Kirk stared at her unblinkingly. “Isn’t that so?”

The smile on her face became brighter, yet her voice was laced with bitterness.

“I don’t understand why you’d think that way. Yes, I love you, but why would I hurt Caroline? Even

if I did, you wouldn’t come back to me. Besides, there will always be people who like to abuse others for no particular reason.

“They are my friends,” she continued to spin her lies.

“But I don’t need to do whatever they do. If you want to blame me, the only thing I’ve done wrong was bring Caroline here. Something like that wouldn’t have happened then, and your life wouldn’t have been in danger.”

She sounded reasonable and sincere. Kirk couldn’t find fault with her words.

He asked, “Why did you chase Carrie out after I passed out then?”

“You passed out because of her. I was mad at her and didn’t think about the consequences. I’m willing to apologize if loving someone is wrong.”

Kirk furrowed his brows. “So… you had nothing to do with tonight’s incident?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can take me to the police. My conscience is clear.”

The frown on Kirk’s face deepened at her words. “You’d better keep that in mind. Don’t blame me

for what I’ll do if I find out that you’ve done anything that could hurt Carrie.”

-Kirk turned away and left. Charles followed after him, taking the two women along with him.

After getting into the car, he asked Kirk, “Mr. Kirk, where are we going now?”

“The hotel.”

Silence occupied the air the entire time they were in the car. Charles would look at Kirk in the rearview mirror from time to time.
