Betrayed By The Billionaire 382
"Add half a teaspoon of salt," Julian commanded from the doorway, his voice smooth and cold. "Use the chopsticks to beat the eggs properly."Sarah added the salt, her eyes darting toward the knife block on the counter. Why am I doing this? she fumed. Julian hadn't come back to Haicheng to reconnect; he had come back to mock her, to exact a calculated revenge for every bruise her rejection—and her marriage—had cost him."Faster," he prodded."It would be faster if you did it yourself!" Sarah snapped, her knuckles white as she whisked the eggs. In the old days, she would have dumped the bowl over his head without a second thought.But today, the Vance family owed him a debt of blood and dignity. And more importantly... Sarah glanced at Julian’s formidable frame. She was a strategist; she knew when a fight was unwinnable. She wasn't about to lose a physical altercation in front of Maddy, especially one where the odds were so heavily stacked against her."The side effects of that drug are

The moment Maddy saw Julian Thorne, her eyes lit up like stars. She scampered over to him, her voice filled with childhood wonder. "Uncle, you’re so handsome!"Sarah sighed, her daughter’s "pretty privilege" radar once again proving infallible. "Maddy! Come back here."Maddy looked like a porcelain doll in her pink dress, her hair in tiny braids and her face glowing with innocence. She was the perfect blend of Sarah’s elegance and Arthur Vance’s features.Julian looked down at the little girl. His hand reached out instinctively toward her soft cheek, but he froze mid-air, his fingers trembling slightly before he withdrew them. He shifted his gaze to Sarah, his voice like gravel. "She looks like you.""Everyone says so," Sarah replied with a tight smile. She set the breakfast containers on the sleek coffee table. "Have you eaten? I brought some things back for you."Julian glanced at the plastic takeout boxes, a sneer curling his lip. "You think food like that is fit for my palate?"Lo

Julian collapsed onto the bed.Even as the medical team swarmed him, his gaze—scorching and predatory—stayed pinned to Sarah. It was a look that promised to tear her apart and consume her. Sarah felt a deep flush creep up her neck; she couldn't meet his eyes.Finally, a doctor administered an intravenous sedative. As Julian’s breathing leveled out and the violent tension left his frame, Sarah retreated from the room, her heart hammering against her ribs.The moment she was back in her own suite, she dialed Nathaniel Vance.The phone picked up instantly, and Nathaniel’s voice was frantic. "Why are you calling now? Where is Julian?"Nathaniel knew exactly what a phone call at this hour implied: his plan had failed."It really was you," Sarah whispered. Disappointment was too weak a word for the void opening in her chest. She exploded. "Nathaniel Vance, have you lost your mind? Do you have any idea what you've done?"Nathaniel, still delusional, tried to plead. "Sarah, you have to help m

"Julian, let me toast to your success," Nathaniel Vance said, raising his glass with a fawning smile.Julian Thorne’s lips curled into a polite, dangerous smile. "On the contrary, Uncle Nathaniel, it is I who should toast to you. After all, I owe so much to your—and Sarah’s—care all those years ago."His gaze flickered over Sarah, dark and unreadable, before he drained his glass.Sarah took a cautious sip of her wine, her instincts screaming that something was wrong. Throughout the meal, Nathaniel and his wife, Lydia, relentlessly pressed Julian to drink. Julian, seemingly unable to refuse the "hospitality" of his former guardians, obliged them repeatedly.Finally, Sarah couldn't stomach the display any longer. "Dad, I’m finished. I’m taking Maddy back to the hotel now."As she stood up, Nathaniel turned to Julian. "Julian, where are you staying?""Starlight Heights," Julian replied, his voice slightly raspier than before.Nathaniel beamed. "Perfect! Sarah is staying at the hotel righ

Sarah picked up the silver frame, tracing the silhouette of the elegant woman in the photo. She looked at Maddy with a soft, bittersweet smile. "That’s right. This was your grandmother. She brought me into this world, and then I brought you.""Mommy, tell me stories about when you were little!" Maddy chirped, her eyes wide with curiosity."Alright..."Sarah sat on the edge of the bed, weaving tales of her childhood spent in this very room—before the air in the house grew cold and the furniture was replaced by things that didn't belong to her. After about an hour, the soft rise and fall of Maddy’s chest told her the little girl had drifted off.A sharp knock at the door cut through the quiet. "Miss, the guest has arrived," a maid whispered through the wood. "The Master is asking you to come down.""I'll be right there."Sarah tucked the duvet around Maddy and stood up. Outside the window, the indigo curtain of night had begun to fall over Haicheng.The Return of the BeastAs Sarah desc

Sarah laughed, leaning back in her chair. "It’s a pity you’re likely still in university, Evan Thorne. Otherwise, I’d hire you as a full-time nanny for Maddy. Then again, with your skills in the 'Hacker Empire,' I probably couldn't afford your hourly rate."Evan blinked playfully, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Well, if we were to become family, I’d watch her for you every day. And I’d do it for free."Sarah took it as a joke, a typical bit of charm from a confident young man. She shook her head with a smile. "I’m afraid we don't have that kind of fate, Evan."However, Evan offered a cryptic, knowing smile. "You never know."He stood up, handing Maddy back to Sarah. He reached out and ruffled the little girl’s hair with genuine affection. "I have to head out. I'll come see you both again when I have time."Maddy’s bottom lip pouted instantly. She was clearly devastated to see her new "favorite person" leave.Sarah waved goodbye, but after taking a few steps, Evan turned back one la

The heavy canopy of the Haicheng wilderness filtered the afternoon sun into jagged shards of light. Donovan Tang reached out a gloved hand, grabbing Chloe Bishop by the shoulder of her tactical vest and pulling her firmly behind him. His voice carried the weight of a battlefield command."You have

The hospital corridor, usually a place of sterile quiet, was now a theater of high-society warfare. Sarah, her military training evident in the effortless way she controlled the struggling physician, dragged Julian Lang toward the elevators. His frantic shouts for security were met only by the stun

The atmosphere in the foyer fractured as Feifei, sensing the shift in the air, signaled to Serena and beat a silent, frantic retreat into the shadows of the estate. She hadn't forgotten the cold warning Xavier had delivered the day his security team tossed her into the street: Never show your face
