Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 93 - MEETING WITH CONNER-CONNER
Merina had the manners to appear on time for their meeting. He’d arranged this meeting not to discuss her career and business plan. Conner aimed to solidify the narrative of their collaboration since the beginning. That way, he could prevent anyone else from trying to charge her for espionage later or questioning that. “Ah, here she is now, gentlemen. The lady we’ve been speaking about, my wife, Merina O’Keefe. Merina, this is Chief Inspector Billings. He’s leading the investigation into the Mandela’s, and this is my head accountant, Gregory Van Clief. The Inspector blinked and raised a finger. “Ms. MacGregor? I’m sorry my connections didn’t pass on that you’d married. I’m happy to see you again. Somehow, I should have connected you to the MacGregor family.” “Hello, Chief Inspector. I wasn’t aware you were connected to the investigation, or I would have called you myself. Conner and I married in haste days ago. No, I tried to keep my fam
Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 94-REVEALING HER IDENTITY-ANA
Ana sat down to dinner with Jeff almost an hour ago. She’d struggled with what to tell him. She had been silent during the meal, contemplating how to start the conversation. They were on dessert. Something she would enjoy. She couldn’t do it tonight. Jeff leaned back in his chair and watched Ana push her peach cobbler about in the melting ice cream. Ana knew he was considering her or something. “Is there a problem Jeff?” She wanted to distract him. Allow her a few extra minutes to plan her next steps and approach this situation. “I got a call from Conner O’Keefe a few hours ago.” Ana sank feeling as soon as he said this. “Oh, did he want to talk about business or something personal?” His topic blurred the lines between the two. Ana shifted in her seat and set her spoon down. Her attention focused of him even though her eyes stayed on the candle display in the center of the table. “Oh, umm. Should I be

“Who is your stepfather?” Jeff knew who her stepfather was. He wanted to hear her admit it. If he knew her family, Jeff would have treated her differently. He wouldn’t have tested her by taking her to places he considered were beneath him. “Jordan Foster.” Jeff watched her. She sounded embarrassed and almost ashamed to admit this. At least, she understood the error she’d made. “Ana. Why didn’t you tell me?” “I don’t tell anyone. His lifestyle isn’t mine.” Jeff knew Jordan Foster as a wealthy man, but few knew about his stepdaughter. It took Jeff the rest of the afternoon to get information on her. It proved challenging because of the lack of resources. She’d been a troubled teen who rebelled against her mother’s second marriage. Then, when she could get away from her family, she’d done so. Though her stepfather tried to force her to stay in touch. “Why did you attend a private school and work for a society girl?”
Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 96 -SOCIAL WARS-LILLIAN
Lillian didn’t wait to return home to start her campaign against her soon-to-be ex-stepdaughter. How dare she make her life more difficult until Marina was supposed to submit to Galen while Conner should have married Gabriella? Lillian would marry Joseph. Lillian would have access to all the money and destroy the dead word. Or exes she’d gain over the last fifteen years. She seeks revenge on them for their laziness and lack of financial success. Lillian only requested that they maintain her desired lifestyle without her having to do anything. She wouldn’t accept a man retiring to live off his investments. That screamed door as he leeched of his savings. She didn’t want a man who didn’t sacrifice for her comfort. She’d learned long ago that worthy men sacrificed for her time. Not love. Love was a false emotion created by greeting card companies. She had no desire for love or marriage with a money-seeking man. “It’s unexpected how a few facts can generate sympath
Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 97 -RUMORS ARE WORSE THAN RATS-CONNER
The meeting went well enough, Conner thought. He caught sight of a new side of Merina. Now he had messages piling up from friends and business associates about information they’d heard. He’d spent his afternoon putting out fires. He’d assume these rumors and hints at financial disaster were Lillian, Joseph, and Gabriella’s doing. It all appeared to revolve around them. “David, you’re not crazy right?” “No, never had a problem. Why?” “Merina is as crazy as you are. As for the police officer stupidity. She knows she’s not a police officer. She has a much more flexible and diverse position. I can tell you that she’s an expert in her field and consults with the police when they call upon her. She works with law enforcement all over the world. That’s why she didn’t come home. The woman tracks electronic transfers of money and information. Agencies, businesses, and people hire her when they need help learning where the money went missing.”

Conner took Merina out to his country club for dinner. He wanted to know what everyone’s reaction to the rumors. He didn’t tell Merina that was his intention, but he suspected she knew. This afternoon, he started questioning what he’d been doing with her. It hadn’t changed. They climbed from the limousine when he changed his mind and thought it better to warn Merina what they’d walk into. “Meri, I don’t want you to overreact if we’re snubbed tonight. We know what Lillian’s been saying.” Conner said, before she cut him off. “Don’t worry about it. These people hold no importance to me. They may think they are hurting me, but in the long run they’ll be hurting themselves. It’s fine. All they are doing is embarrassing themselves. What will happen to them when Lillian is charged? If not alongside Joseph, then my father will take her to court for slandering him, I’m sure. If I can get her on record spreading the rumors or claiming she said th
Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 99 - CONFRONTING THE RUMOR MONGERS-MERINA
Conner gave her a moment to arrange herself in the ladies’ room on the upper floor. They’d lucked out that the security staff hadn’t done their rounds while they were there. But the wicked thrill had given her heart a workout. Merina would admit to anyone but Conner that his performance was something she’d never tire of. Even now she could feel him giving her his all, and Merina’s knees were still a little weak from her orgasm. It went through her body and didn’t miss overwhelming any of her senses. Every nerve in her body tingled. Conner put naughty and made the forbidden tempting. “Are you ready to make your entrance as Mrs. O’Keefe?” “What we did makes me want to go home and sleep. I think you short-circuited my brain. I can’t form a sentence right now. Merina said. She’d make him rue this day, if he’d made her unable to defend herself in front of these people. Conner smiled at her as he took her arm. “Then you must stand close to me

They’d eaten dinner. Now everyone relaxed with dessert and after-dinner drinks. A woman, unfamiliar until tonight, married to a woman Merina never knew well during childhood, leaned towards her. “Is it me? Are they too preoccupied with others’ lives to acknowledge their own errors?” “You’re very observant. I’ve waited all night for someone to realize I don’t care about their opinions. Merina said to her. The smiling woman sought meaningful conversation. Which flew fast and furious most of the evening when anyone suspected Merina or Conner might overhear. “I understand. It seems since my work is profitable, but my name is slapped on none of it. Am I unworthy to gossip about here?” The woman hadn’t introduced herself yet. Not being included in the gossip didn’t seem to affect her much. Merina liked her dry sense of humor. “Oh, my name and work are similar. They don’t comprehend my work. Or they believe the gossip and believe I’m lying. So,
