Caitlin didn’t back down. “Fine. I accept your challenge. Just don’t beg me for mercy when you lose.”

“Hmph! As if!”

Zora’s confidence stemmed from having already studied Kayla’s entire portfolio. She was familiar with Caitlin’s design style—and more importantly, she knew Caitlin hadn’t released anything new in quite a while.

With Caitlin so distracted by her mother’s case, Zora believed it would be an easy win.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Caitlin slipped on her sunglasses and walked out of the building.

Zora watched her back until she disappeared, then turned and stepped into the elevator.

Back in the CEO office, she found her mother sitting motionless at her desk.

“Mom, are you okay? That woman came to see you again—what did she say? Why are you crying?”

Zora spotted the tears on Ximena’s face and grew suspicious.

“It’s nothing.”

Ximena wiped her face. “She didn’t say much.”

Glancing at the screen, he said calmly, “Caitlin, you two talk. I have something to handle.”“Go ahead,” Caitlin replied with a grateful smile. Magnus had shown her nothing but kindness and fairness. Few people would have helped their reunion so willingly.After bidding farewell to the king and Caitlin, Magnus stepped outside an

    Caitlin showed not the slightest panic and asked evenly, You suspect I am an accomplice to the attackers? What evidence do you have?I have proof.Maxwell’s tone went cold. Come in.Two subordinates rushed into the ward. Caitlin had thought he would produce so-called evidence; instead, the two men seized her by the arms.Stop! What do you think you are doing?Leif VI’s fury flared. He braced himself with one arm to sit up.Your Majesty! Caitlin cried, anxious.Shane stepped forward at once, shouting, His Majesty told you to stop. Did you not hear?The two men glanced at each other, fearful yet unwilling to let go.

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   726 The Moment of Reunion

    “What is this? You see your minister and forget to bow?”Maxwell already suspected her. Before coming here he had ordered his men to keep an eye on the king’s maid. When this maid left the ward just now, his people shadowed her and saw her slip into the emergency stairwell.“Minister Maxwell.”Caitlin forced herself to calm down and dipped a curtsey.Maxwell stepped in from the corridor. The self-closing door eased shut behind him. As he drew near, Caitlin instinctively backed away. “Minister Maxwell, why are you here? Do you need something?”Hands clasped behind his back, he looked her over slowly and spoke as if to himself. “Do you know each woman carries a different scent? Most people cannot tell them apart. I was born with an uncommon sense of smell. If I have caught a scent once, I will remember it. You, for instance, carry something very familiar.”“I am just a rough mai

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   725 The Moment of Reunion

    Leif VI knew his daughter was perceptive, and her question was a subtle test. He followed her lead and said, “She was the only woman I ever truly loved. Her name was Kelly.”Caitlin’s heart trembled as if struck by a heavy bell. She forced down the rush of emotion and asked softly, “So Your Majesty once loved another woman… what happened to her?”“I heard she passed away four years ago.” His voice grew faint, shadowed by sorrow.Caitlin corrected him silently. No. She didn’t die. She’s still alive—right here in your kingdom, maybe even in this very city.“How tragic,” she sighed. “Why did you two part ways?”“Because of an unexpected car accident.”Leif VI slowly recounted his story with Kelly, letting the memories unfold.By the end, Caitlin’s chest tightened. Her father had never betrayed her mother; it was fate that to

    The next morning, Caitlin served breakfast to the king and the prince. Before leaving for the memorial ceremony, Leif VI suddenly said, “Agnes, you and Margaret will change into formal uniforms and come with me.”He deliberately brought both maids to avoid drawing unwanted attention.Caitlin exchanged a surprised look with Margaret. Magnus noticed her hesitation and reminded her, “His Majesty has given permission. Go get ready.”“Yes, Your Majesty.”They returned to their quarters and changed into uniforms similar to those worn by female guards. Margaret could hardly contain her excitement, whispering nonstop on the way.“I still can’t believe it! We actually get to accompany His Majesty to such a ceremony.”“Remember, this is a solemn state event,” Caitlin warned. “You’d better keep quiet.”“I know, I know. I’ll behave.”

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   723 Creating an Opportunity

    No matter how Caitlin questioned her, Heather’s voice stayed cold and unyielding. “I told you, I don’t know. I’ll take it to my grave.”As long as she and her brother Maxwell kept silent, no one would ever find Kelly.“If I were you,” Caitlin said quietly, “I’d start talking now. It might save you a few layers of skin.”Somehow, a leather whip had appeared in her hand. A chilling glint flickered in her eyes.The cell door creaked open. Heather stumbled back in panic. “What are you doing? You can’t torture me! I’m the queen!”“You’re nothing now.” Caitlin’s voice cut through the air like ice. “I heard it was you who caused the accident that crippled the king. You tore him apart from my mother and destroyed their lives for your own greed. It’s time you paid for it.”The whip cracked.Heather screamed as it
