I stopped outside his door, took a deep breath like I was about to skydive without a parachute, and knocked.

No going back now. Not unless I fancied throwing myself down the stairwell.

The door swung open almost immediately, leaving me zero time to panic or bolt.

There he was—in a suit. A proper one. Not the kind you wear for a Zoom meeting or to make your ex jealous on Instagram, but the sort that whispered ‘money’ and ‘I don’t queue for anything, ever.’

He looked like he was on his way out.

Maybe a date.

Probably with someone tall, elegant, and dangerously immune to carbs.

Regret made a swift U-turn in my gut, and I took a tiny step back, already rethinking everything.

But then he gestured for me to wait. He was on the phone, looking very much like a man who closed deals before breakfast. He held up a hand, mouthed ‘one second’, then pointed inside.

I stepped into his flat, trying not to look too nosy while absolutely snooping.

It was about the same size and layout as mine, but the

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 319 A Bitter Pill To Swallow

    ‘Genevieve, of course. Who else?’ Rhys didn’t hesitate to tell me.‘So, Genevieve gave you all this?’ I frowned, staring at him in disbelief. ‘She’s the one who gave it to you?’‘Yes, she did. She wants to drive a wedge between you and Ashton. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s all true.’ He seemed past caring about hiding it. ‘I guess she was testing Ashton too. She wanted to see who he would choose to protect—her or you. And she won.’Yeah, she won. That truth was a bitter pill to swallow.‘At least in this, Ashton was completely on her side. He shielded her, even found a scapegoat to take the fall. She gave me this because she wanted to taunt you. She’s basically telling you to bow out.’Every word felt like a knife twisting in my chest.‘Stop it!’ I said, unable to take any more.‘Denial doesn&rsquo

    A slight smile touched Rhys’s lips when he saw me. ‘You came.’He quickly got out of the car and came to my side. ‘Mirabelle… you still trust me, then.’‘I don’t trust you. I just want to see what game you’re playing,’ I said, my voice cold.‘That’s alright. You’ll believe that I’m not playing games this time. You’ll believe coming to lunch with me was worth it. Where would you like to go?’ His eyes were soft, his tone gentle.‘The restaurant across the road,’ I said. I was only here for the truth, not for him.‘Alright.’The restaurant was fairly busy. I asked for a private booth.Once we’d ordered, I got straight to the point. ‘Where’s this proof you mentioned?’‘Are you really in that much of a hurry?’ Rhys looked at me with wounded eyes, but I felt nothing.&lsqu

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 317 Fall Guy

    I spent the night tossing and turning.Catherine was behind everything?Somehow, part of me refused to believe it.It wasn’t that I still had any sisterly feelings for her. It was just that… it didn’t seem like her.She was catty and vengeful, and she wasn’t above resorting to low tricks to get at me.But her tactics usually involved spreading rumours, backstabbing, or sabotaging my relationships.I’d have more readily believed if she’d tried to seduce Ashton than hired a gunman to kill me.Where would she even go to find people like that?But Ashton’s network of contacts was far more powerful than mine, and I had no reason to doubt what his men had dug up.Besides, Catherine had confessed, hadn’t she?Shaking those thoughts away, I dragged myself out of bed when the alarm rang.Against the doctors’ wishes and mine, Ashton had checked out of the hospita

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Ashton’s POV: The One Person I Couldn’t Touch

    Harry entered the room.‘Mr Laurent, we’ve confirmed that the ones who sabotaged Mrs Laurent’s studio, and the ones who tried to run her down and then shot at her… they were all hired by the same guy. He’s a middleman, and he works for… Genevieve Crawford.’I stared back at Harry. ‘No mistakes?’Truth was, I trusted Harry’s competence. He wouldn’t get something like this wrong.‘No. I’ve checked multiple times. It’s her. We also have a witness. Should I bring him in?’I rubbed my throbbing head; the wound in my abdomen ached dully. ‘Not now.’‘What would you like me to do next?’ Harry asked.‘Nothing. Not yet.’‘Understood.’‘And Mira must not find out about this.’Harry nodded. ‘Got it.’‘You can go now.’Once alone, I picked

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 315 Damages

    As expected, the past month’s footage showed nothing unusual.It was no surprise, yet I still felt a stab of disappointment.Priya broke down. ‘I’m sorry, Mira. I was the one who handled the job sheet, but I don’t know how it was switched. I don’t know where this forgery came from. I… I’m so sorry.’She clung to me, crying helplessly.I handed her a tissue. ‘Don’t panic. And don’t cry. That won’t solve anything, and I don’t blame you for this.’I knew she was afraid I’d make her bear the damages. Penelope’s order was huge, all bespoke, using rare stones. If Priya had to pay, she’d have to sell a kidney or two.After I reassured her several times that she wouldn’t be liable, she calmed down and her tears ebbed.‘We’ll get to the bottom of this,’ I told her.She nodded, though doubt clouded her eyes. &lsq

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 314 Huge Screw-up

    ‘Why wouldn’t I be? Go. Let Harry drive you and take a couple of guards, just in case.’‘No. Harry should stay with you. I’ll take Kit.’When I reached Mira Joie, Priya was waiting at the door. She let out a huge sigh of relief.‘Thank God you’re here. The client’s upstairs in the conference room, and she’s furious.’‘Which client?’ I asked.‘It’s Mrs Mitchell,’ Priya whispered, glancing towards the stairs. ‘She says we gave her all the wrong sizes.’I frowned.I remembered Penelope Mitchell. She’d come through a string of referrals, one leading to another, and placed a generous order for a diamond parure: a necklace, earrings, a bracelet, a bangle, a ring, a brooch, and even a tiara.‘What does she mean, wrong sizes?’ I pressed.‘That’s what baffled me,’ Priya said. ‘She claims every measurement is wrong, not what she sent us. The necklace is too long, the earrings are too heavy and make her ears ache, and she’s got a whole list of other complaints.’I shook my head. ‘Impossible. How
