The drive back from Clara’s house was a total silence. Avery sat in the passenger seat of Ashton’s sleek, dark car, oblivious of the world outside. Her mind only focused to the single, fragile object resting in her lap.

The envelope felt impossibly heavy, a lead weight imbued with a decade of secrets and sorrow. She held it with both hands, her thumbs stroking the brittle paper as if she could absorb its story through touch alone.

Ashton drove with a focused intensity. He didn't speak, understa

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 138: A Mother’s Dream

    The night in Avery’s hospital room felt calm, yet inside her mind, a new story was being carved. Avery fell asleep, and in her slumber, she was welcomed by a dream so vivid, so beautiful, that she felt as though time itself had stopped turning.She stood in a vast flower garden, surrounded by fragrant white lilies. The sky was bright blue without a single cloud, and the air felt so gentle against her skin. In the middle of the garden, a very handsome little baby was playing. His hair was jet black, his eyes round and clear, and his lips curved into a sweet smile. The baby wore pure white clothes, and his tiny hands reached toward Avery.“Mama...” the baby whispered, his voice small and innocent, yet so clear in Avery’s ears.Avery felt overwhelming happiness flood her heart. She immediately approached, lifting the baby into her arms. The familiar scent of a baby filled her senses, and the warmth of that tiny body felt incredibly real. She kissed the baby’s forehead repeatedly, unwilli

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 137: A Restraining Order

    Ashton stepped forward, positioning himself between Carol and Avery’s bed. His tall, sturdy body became a solid shield, blocking Avery from his grandmother’s gaze and insults.His eyes were cold, radiating a clear warning. "Nana, leave here. Now. Do not cause a scene in this place. I am still respecting you by not asking security to drag you out."Carol scoffed. She did not feel intimidated in the slightest. Instead, Ashton’s threat only made her angrier. "A scene? You’re the one causing a scene! You destroyed my name, destroyed my company! Fix all this mess, Ashton! Right now! Cancel that trash press conference and withdraw your lawsuit! Grandmother knows you can do it! You cannot let me be ruined like this!"Carol stared at Ashton with deep frustration. The pride and arrogance she had upheld for so long were now shattered into pieces. She could not accept this destruction. She had built that empire with her own hands, and now it was destroyed by her own grandson simply because of a

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 136: The Beat of Hope

    Ashton sat behind his large work desk, staring at rows of green numbers that continued climbing on the monitor screen. Investors had once again placed their trust in him, and the storm once sent by Skynet Global was now slowly turning into a calm wind that instead strengthened his company’s bargaining position.The large teak door of the room opened slowly. Lucy stepped inside with graceful strides, though a faint exhaustion lingered behind the lines of her eyes. She let out a long breath as she sat in the leather chair in front of her son."Ashton," Lucy called softly, drawing Ashton’s attention away from the screen. "Earlier your nana called me."Ashton scoffed coldly. His lips curled into a sharp, cynical smile. "Why is she calling again? Isn’t it clear that I’m not accepting any calls from her?""She was begging. Her voice sounded very desperate, very different from usual," Lucy explained while massaging her forehead. "She asked me to persuade you to withdraw the lawsuit and help

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 135: A Crushing Retaliation

    Ashton stood upright before the large glass window facing directly toward the bustling city of New York. The flickering city lights looked like a stretch of gemstones, yet his mind was far from calm.In his hand, a smartphone was gripped tightly. His thumb moved steadily, pressing a sequence of numbers he knew by heart. He did not wait long before the ringing tone on the other end stopped and a woman’s voice, sounding very elegant yet cold, greeted his hearing."Hello, Ashton Dear. What’s the matter calling me this late at night? Did that pitiful fiancée of yours caused trouble again?" Carol Bennet’s voice sounded very relaxed, as if she had not just attempted to tear down the foundation of her grandson’s business.Ashton scoffed coldly. His jaw hardened, forming a firm line that radiated an intimidating aura. "Stop pretending, Nana. I know everything. I know you were behind Skynet Global’s decision to terminate the contract unilaterally."Silence fell briefly on the other end. Carol

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 134: Conspiracy Behind the Scenes

    Ashton stood frozen beside Avery’s bed, holding a tablet in his left hand while his right hand still clasped her fingers that felt cold.A short message had just arrived on his device, a brief report from his vice president director stating that Skynet Global had suddenly terminated a cooperation contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Ashton’s jaw hardened. His eyes narrowed, radiating a cold aura he usually reserved only for his business enemies. Within seconds, his expression transformed into that of a predator sniffing out the scent of betrayal. However, the short breath beside him brought him back to his senses.Avery looked at him with weary yet inquisitive eyes. On her still pale face was an intelligence that could not be deceived by any mask."Ashton?" Avery called softly. "Is something wrong?"Ashton immediately turned off his tablet screen. He forced a faint smile, trying to soften the sharpness in his gaze. "It’s nothing, Baby. Just some office documents I need to r

  • Embraced By The Billionaire   Chapter 133: A Glimmer of Hope at the Edge of Risk

    Every time Ashton heard a soft groan escape Avery’s lips, his heart seemed to stop beating. He stood in the corner of the room, watching a nurse replace Avery’s IV bag with trembling hands. The man who could usually control millions of dollars with a single signature now felt like dust, powerless in the face of the pain endured by the woman he loved most.Doctor Harris pulled Ashton out of the room, his face showing exhaustion equal to the worry he carried.“Mr. Knight, I have to tell you once again. Her condition isn’t improving as quickly as we hoped,” the doctor said in a low tone. “Continuing this pregnancy with recurring complications is extremely risky. If a major complication occurs, the choice will no longer be about the fetus, but the mother’s life. If her blood pressure spikes again or severe bleeding occurs, we could lose them both.”Ashton shut his eyes tightly. The words “lose them both” echoed in his head like a death bell. He had just regained his memory. He had just re
