Caesar either completely missed the biting sarcasm in Cecilia's tone or chose to ignore it.

His expression remained neutral as he continued reading.

"Clause Two: I bequeath 20% of my 55% shareholding to a trust established at Citibank. Citibank shall form a holding company for the independent management of these shares."

"Clause Three: The remaining 15% of my shares—"

He paused deliberately, his gaze sweeping over the suddenly tense faces in the room before continuing,

"—I leave entirely unassigned. This portion shall be subject to adjudication and distribution by a court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with the laws of Intestate Succession and relevant corporate statutes."

The air in the room froze solid.

A complex mix of shock, calculation, and fury passed over the faces of those present, their eyes silently clashing.

What did this mean? Throwing it to the courts?

It was tantamount to shoving everyone into a fighting ring, forcing them to tear each other apart in a humiliat

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   Take Her Away

    Inside the room, Nick was curled on the carpet, his face pale, cold sweat trickling down his temples.The throbbing pain in his lower abdomen made it almost impossible to straighten up."Cecilia...what...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" he forced the words out through gritted teeth, his voice distorted by pain, hands still clamped protectively over his injury.Cecilia sat poised on the edge of the bed, one leg elegantly crossed over the other.Her posture was calm, but her eyes, fixed on him, were icy cold."I'm delivering some well-deserved justice," her voice was steady, yet each word carried a sharp edge."Aren't there enough women around you already?" She paused, a complex, cold smile touching her lips, as if recalling some unpleasant memory."And it's not just women. Even ROBIN has feelings for you.""What THE HELL are you talking about?!"His head snapped up, the pain momentarily forgotten, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.His vehement reaction, in Cecilia's eyes, seemed more like t

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   Face The Consequences

    On the other side, Eleanor sat on the edge of the bed, wrapped in a robe, her fingers unconsciously twisting the sash at her waist.The moment the slightly ajar door was pushed open softly, her heart clenched violently, and her breath hitched.Only when she saw the familiar face at the doorway did her heart, which had leapt into her throat, slowly settle back into place.Cecilia had actually come.That text message had been a desperate plea for help, thrown out when she had nowhere else to turn. She hadn't dared to hope for a response.Cecilia walked in carrying a paper bag. She placed a set of clean clothes on the bedside, but her gaze was inevitably drawn to the disheveled bed—the crumpled sheets, the askew pillows, the lingering scent of intimacy in the air—all of it laid bare what had happened last night.No need to ask. Everything was clear."Thank you for coming,"Eleanor's voice was hoarse and dry, her eyes holding genuine gratitude, but beneath that, a deeper, inescapable sham

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   Confess Everything

    Every second of Liam's silence was a tick of Nick's death clock.Nick could no longer maintain any shred of composure. Even his voice was distorted, choked with uncontrollable sobs."Liam? SAY SOMETHING! What should I do... please!"Liam squeezed his eyes shut, pressing his knuckles hard against his throbbing temples.After just a second, cold reason returned.He took a deep breath. When he spoke again, his voice was back to its usual calm."Listen! Right now, immediately, send your exact address to my phone. Then stay put. Do NOT let any paparazzi see you! I'm on my way.""Okay! Okay! Liam, hurry, please hurry..." Nick babbled in response.Liam hung up decisively. He didn't even have a moment to glance back towards Cecilia. Grabbing a random shirt and his car keys, he rushed out.Click—The sound of the front door locking echoed unusually clearly through the apartment.Almost simultaneously, in the bedroom, Cecilia opened her eyes and sat up.Liam was leaving this early? His footstep

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   He's Really Done!

    Gordon's drunkenness evaporated in a flash, replaced by sheer terror.His face turned as pale as a sheet. Stumbling forward, his voice trembled uncontrollably."Ethel! I... I was just passing by, saw Gia here, and came in to say hello! I don't know these people at all—""Oh?"Ethel gently pushed away his fumbling hands and walked step by step towards the sofa.The two models huddled together, too terrified to even breathe heavily.She picked up a half-full glass from the table, tilting her wrist with elegant grace—Whiskey dripped, one drop after another, onto their heavily made-up faces, tracing paths down their trembling skin."OUT." The single word escaped her lips, quiet yet jolting everyone in the room awake.Chaos erupted instantly. People scrambled desperately for the door, the sharp crunch of heels on broken glass grating through the air.In the blink of an eye, the private room was more than half empty.Gordon saw his chance and tried to slip away with the crowd, but before h

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   You Wouldn't Dare

    The air in the other VIP lounge was thick and hazy, saturated with the cloying mix of cigar smoke, whiskey, and expensive perfume.Gordon was sunk deep into the central couch, a sleek model draped on either side. One of them held a freshly poured glass of amber liquid to his lips.Instead of taking it, he tilted his head back and drank from her hand, his throat working. His eyes held a blatant, provocative gleam.BANG!The door flew open.Gia stormed in, bringing a chill from the hallway with her. Her face was a thundercloud. The loud music seemed to falter for a second under her withering glare as she scanned the room.Without a word, she marched to the glass coffee table, snatched an empty tumbler, and poured a generous measure of whiskey. She threw it back in one go.The liquor burned its way down, but instead of quenching the fire inside, it only fed the flames."What took you so long?" Gordon's voice was a lazy, drunken drawl, deliberately mocking.His fingers traced idle circles

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   I Regret It

    The dead of night found Liam standing alone before the window, his eyes swirling with murderous intent. The tenderness he had shown Cecilia earlier was gone, utterly erased.He took a slow sip of whiskey, trying to drown the fury raging within, to force a cold calm upon himself.This is part of the plan, he repeated, a mantra in his mind.Necessary patience for total victory.But no amount of deep breathing could purge the image burned into his brain—Cecilia, unconscious, vulnerable, completely at the mercy of others.It was a line crossed. His line.Thud.He slammed the crystal tumbler onto the windowsill. Decision made. He snatched his phone and hit the speed dial.The call connected instantly, met by a blast of deafening heavy metal music. Liam's voice, however, cut through the noise, cold as sharded ice."They drugged her. HOW FUCKING MUCH LONGER are we supposed to wait?""Hey! Relax, man!" Robin's voice was casual, dripping with the languor of the club."I told you. It's just a s
