Avery was frozen on her seat. Meanwhile, beside her, Ashton looked rather calm but full of anticipation.

“I think she’s not going to read it,” Avery finally mumbled, breathless.

Ashton only shifted a little, then adjusted his posture. His eyes were on Avery’s worried face.

“Be patient,” he replied, “I believe she’s on it. She wouldn’t let a big chance like that slipped away, Avery.

Avery who’d been holding her breath, finally let out a small sigh. Ashton was right. This was what Elena’s been wa

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 150: The Birth of the Heir

    (A few weeks later)"Ashton... Ashton, wake up! Wake up, hurry up!"Avery’s voice sounded panicked, jolting Ashton out of his deep sleep. Ashton blinked, reaching for Avery’s trembling hand beside him. The room was still dark, faintly illuminated only by the moonlight seeping through the curtains."What is it, Love? Did you have another nightmare? Or are you hungry?" Ashton asked, his voice hoarse from just waking up."No, Ashton! I-I’m wet. It feels very wet down here," Avery whispered, her breath ragged. She clutched Ashton’s arm tightly. "My water broke, Ashton! I think it’s time!"Ashton’s world seemed to stop spinning for a moment. The words “my water broke” left his mind blank. Panic instantly washed over him. This was it. The moment he had been waiting for, yet also feared.He had prepared himself for months, reading books, talking to doctors, but the panic still struck him hard. Ashton, a man who was always calm in business crises, now felt his mind completely empty."B-broke?

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 149: A Magical Wedding

    The white sand along the Hamptons shoreline shimmered like a stretch of diamonds beneath the softening afternoon sunlight, now turning golden. The sea breeze blew gently, carrying the pure scent of salt and the fragrance of white lilies that filled every corner of the private wooden pier.The rhythmic sound of crashing waves became a natural accompaniment, creating an atmosphere far more sacred than any building in Manhattan. Today, the universe itself seemed to hold its breath to witness a promise born from the remnants of a storm that had nearly destroyed everything.Avery stepped out of the bridal car with extreme care. The premium silk white gown she had chosen now wrapped perfectly around her body, leaving comfortable space for her beautifully rounded belly. As her feet touched the white carpet stretching toward the altar, her eyes swept across the surroundings. Her breath caught in her throat.In the very front row of guest seats, precisely on the side reserved for the bride’s f

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 148: A Prayer at the End of Waiting

    Three days remained before the sacred vows would be spoken on the shores of the Hamptons. In a study lit only by the dim glow of a desk lamp, Ashton once again pressed the call button on his satellite phone. His fingers tapped rapidly against the desk surface, revealing extraordinary restlessness.The result remained the same. The operator’s flat voice informed him that the number he was trying to reach was out of signal range. Ashton growled, tossing the device onto a pile of documents. He had been trying for hours, yet the whereabouts of Marcus and his mother, Lucy, remained a great mystery deep within the African continent.Sarah entered the room with sluggish steps, her eyes showing the same exhaustion. “Still nothing, Ashton?” she asked softly.Ashton leaned back, massaging the bridge of his nose that throbbed painfully. “Total silence, Sarah. I don’t know what’s happening over there. That flight clearance should’ve been finalized yesterday.”“Maybe they’re already in the air and

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 147: Revenge Behind the Bars

    The crashing waves along the Hamptons shoreline sounded far calmer and more rhythmic compared to the bustling city they had just left behind. As their feet touched the soft white sand, Avery took a deep breath, letting the pure scent of the sea fill her lungs.In front of her stood a magnificent modern colonial-style villa with direct access to the beachfront. A sturdy wooden pier stretched out toward the ocean, adorned with white lilies that were being artistically arranged.Avery froze in place. Her eyes traced every corner of the location, shimmering with unmistakable admiration. The smile that had faded over the past few weeks now bloomed perfectly across her face, a soft blush coloring her cheeks.“You were right, Sarah. This is so much more beautiful than the place yesterday. Oh my God, I absolutely love it,” Avery whispered emotionally. Her fingers brushed along the texture of the wooden pier, which felt solid beneath her touch. “It feels like this place has a much calmer energ

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 146: Alibis and Dark Traces

    Avery sat leaning against a pile of soft pillows, her fingers absentmindedly flipping through the pages of a fashion magazine without truly reading it. The bedroom door creaked softly, revealing Sarah stepping inside with a cheerful stride that looked slightly forced. In her hands was a tray filled with fresh fruit and a glass of warm milk.“Ave, I’ve got exciting news for you!” Sarah exclaimed as she set her tablet on the bedside table.Avery looked up, a faint smile coloring her lips. “What news, Sarah? You look really excited.”Sarah sat at the edge of the bed, her eyes sparkling though a trace of unease hid behind her smile. “It’s about your wedding venue. We found a new location that’s way better in the Hamptons. The coastline is beautiful, more private, and Debbie has arranged everything to match the theme you wanted. It’s almost completely ready!”Avery frowned slightly. She placed the magazine gently onto the blanket. “A new location? But why move, Sarah?”Sarah fell silent in

    “What problem? Just say it, Marcus. Don’t beat around the bush,” Ashton replied, his fingers gripping the edge of his desk until his knuckles turned white. His heart pounded in an uneven rhythm as he waited for the next words from his trusted man.“Mrs. Knight has been under pressure from the local authorities in the area where her foundation operates. They suddenly demanded an absurdly large licensing fee if the foundation wanted to continue operating,” Marcus explained over the phone. His voice sounded heavy, accompanied by faint background noise. “Because Madam flatly refused the extortion, she was placed under house arrest for the past two days.”Ashton’s blood boiled instantly. His jaw tightened, the muscles in his neck standing out sharply. “House arrest? They dared to lay a hand on my mother? I swear, I won’t let them get away with this,” he whispered coldly.“Calm down, Ashton. Zeb and I are already with her now. We had a pretty tough negotiation with the officials here. After

    The second article hit the press with devastating force. Unlike the technical, dry financial reports about Ariadne Holdings, this one was personal and emotional.

    The latest news came like a bomb. Oliver was in his office, attempting to salvage some sense of control by staring at irrelevant stock reports, when his phone began to vibrate insistently.

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 67: The Secret Weapon

    The atmosphere in Ashton Knight’s study had almost permanently shifted from a place of intense, high-stakes finance to a more focused, almost conspiratorial planning session. The financial attack on Reed Corp, which had culminated in the Elysian Dynamics collapse, was complete. Now, Ashton and his
