The call was from the DNA Identification Center. The results were ready.Chloe stole a quick glance at Xavier Grayson, her expression a mask of calm as she replied, "I understand. Thank you."As she hung up, the rare, lingering warmth in the room evaporated. Chloe looked at the man across from her, resting her chin in her hands. If only he could be this approachable every day, perhaps their marriage wouldn't feel like a constant walk across a frozen lake.Xavier, ever the pillar of stoic strength, finished his meal without a hint of self-consciousness despite her steady gaze. Only when he was satisfied did he finally set down his chopsticks.Chloe began packing the lunchboxes. "I’m heading out. I have to be at the racing track this afternoon."Xavier nodded, making no move to stop her.However, just as she reached for the door handle, his voice cut through the silence behind her—low, sharp, and laden with a hidden meaning."Ask what you are meant to know. Do not let your curiosity wan

As Blueberry disappeared down the hallway, Chloe Bishop fought the overwhelming urge to scream.She wasn't just angry; she was livid. By fleeing like a wounded animal, Blueberry had perfectly framed Chloe as the jealous, overbearing "Primary Wife" who had just finished bullying a poor, defenseless woman. To the onlookers in the office, Chloe was now the villain of the piece.This woman’s tactical mind is terrifying, Chloe thought.She turned her gaze toward Xavier Grayson. Even surrounded by his circle of high-level executives, he stood like a monument of power. His presence was so absolute, so commanding, that it made everyone else in the corridor seem like background noise.The executives—shrewd men who knew exactly when to disappear—offered Chloe a collective, stiff bow before scattering like startled birds.See? Chloe fumed internally. They definitely think I just humiliated her.She looked at Xavier, her eyes wide and brimming with a sense of profound injustice. "I didn't do a si

However, Xavier Grayson said nothing more.Chloe felt a surge of self-deprecation. I must be losing my mind, she thought. How could I harbor such expectations from him? Their marriage was a fragile construct, riddled with uncertainties, ready to collapse at the slightest tremor. Why hope for anything from a man who didn't love her—a man who had made it clear he didn't even want her to carry his child?A heavy weight settled in her chest. She wanted to end the call, but before she could, Xavier’s voice rasped out once more. "Make lunch today. Bring some over to the office for me."Before she could voice a refusal, the line went dead.As she prepared the meal back at the estate, Grandma Martha assisted her, weaving stories of their time abroad. She spoke of patients snatched from the brink of death and the profound mysteries of Traditional Chinese Medicine. To Chloe, they sounded like legends—miraculous and grand. The idea of holding that kind of power over life and death was, she admit

"Grandpa, Grandma," Chloe Bishop said, her voice finally losing its tense edge. "I’ll think seriously about what you’ve proposed. I’m going upstairs to check on Liam Jr. for a bit.""Go ahead, dear," the elders replied, their eyes full of affection.The moment Chloe reached the sanctuary of the upstairs hallway, she pulled out her phone. The wall of silence she had built since last night was crumbling. She had been suppressing the urge to call Xavier Grayson for hours, and the pressure in her chest had reached its limit.The phone rang several times—each tone a sharp needle in her nerves—before it finally connected."What is it?"Xavier’s voice was deep, but Chloe could detect the faint, raspy edge of exhaustion behind it.Chloe hesitated, her fingers tracing the edge of a mahogany side table. "I’m at the Bishop estate. My grandfather mentioned he saw you and Dr. Terence last night.""Yes. I had some business to discuss with them."Chloe’s hand moved to a small bonsai on the table, he

Marcus had been in a coma for over two months with no sign of waking. Chloe’s muscles had locked instinctively, her mind racing through the worst-case scenarios.Grandma Martha glanced at the old man beside her. "Your grandfather and I... we do indeed have something to discuss with you."Grandpa Silas finally stopped rotating the walnut shells in his palm, the rhythmic clicking sound vanishing into a heavy silence. His gaze was sharp and focused as it settled on Chloe’s face. "Chloe, are you interested in learning Traditional Chinese Medicine?""Learning TCM?"Chloe was stunned. The tension left her body in a sudden rush of relief—it wasn't bad news about her father. "Why would you ask me that so suddenly?"It felt completely out of left field. She had never touched a medical book in her life, let alone studied the complex art of herbalism and pulse-reading.Grandpa Silas seemed to have expected her confusion. "It is a bit sudden, I’ll admit. But it doesn't matter. You can take your t

The sound of pitter-pattering footsteps broke the heavy silence of the kitchen. Chloe Bishop turned to see Liam Jr. trotting in. He was clearly hungry; he tugged at her pant leg, his eyes fixed on the steaming pot with an adorable, expectant intensity.Looking at that exquisitely carved little face, Chloe found it even harder to swallow the possibility—could he truly be the son of Xavier Grayson and Blueberry?Seeing her lost in thought, Liam Jr. tugged her trousers again. He pointed at the pot and then rubbed his stomach, his large, crystal-clear eyes looking at her with a pitiful, puppy-like pleading.With just one look, Chloe’s defenses crumbled. She reached out and ruffled the little guy's hair. Though her heart felt like lead, her voice remained incredibly gentle. "Hungry? Go wash your hands, it's almost ready."Liam Jr. nodded obediently and scrambled off to the sink.When Chloe emerged from the kitchen, she saw him sitting at the dining table, looking so well-behaved it made he

Nicholas remained calm, his expression devoid of any guilt as he met her bloodshot eyes. "Cindy told me she was going to talk to you. I was worried things would spiral out of control, so I went to the Chen villa. My instincts were right—something did happen."Instead of being mollified, Nora became

Chloe took a long, shaky breath, feeling the crushing weight of the morning finally begin to dissipate. She managed a small, weary smile for Lyra. "I’m alright now. Let’s head inside."Upon entering the Nicholas estate, a maid informed them that Nora was still in bed. She asked them to wait in the

When Chloe saw Xavier again, he had changed into a fresh suit. What caught her attention, however, was the glint of metal on his hand—he was wearing the wedding ring again.Did the Old Madam say something to him? she wondered.Xavier walked toward her, each step radiating a cold, natural authority.
Betrayed By The Billionaire 57
The Old Madam looked at Chloe Bishop, whose face was currently flushed like a morning sunrise, and her heart swelled with joy. In this day and age, most young women were far too bold and uninhibited; it was rare to find someone who still had the grace to blush.Thinking of this, the Old Madam’s eye
