Chapter 7 Public Ruin

مؤلف: Celeste Arden
"I can use the money to win it all back and make up everything I lost!"

"You sc*mbag!"

No one knew who started it, but a half-eaten sandwich came flying from the crowd to hit Dylan square in the forehead the very next second.

The mayonnaise ran down his nose and into his mouth, but he kept laughing manically. It was clear that he no longer had any control of his faculties.

I stared at the man who had once shared my bed, watching with cold eyes as he stripped his true self bare in front of ev

  • The Billionaire's Gift   Chapter 11 A Future of Our Own

    Gabriel stood beside the car with a trench coat draped over his arm. He stepped forward and gently placed it over my shoulders.I turned back to look at the courthouse and gave it a small nod. "It's over.""Then, shouldn't we talk about what comes next?" Gabriel raised an eyebrow."Like what?""For example… considering becoming Mrs. York not only in name?"He slipped a velvet box out of his pocket and opened it. My eyes promptly fell on a pink diamond ring nestled inside.This time, he wasn't doing it to prove a point or doing it for show.The way he looked at me… I could tell there was only love in his eyes, the kind that was only meant for me.…As five years passed, I rose to become the vice president of York Group and Gabriel's Mrs. York.That 100 billion I made to Gabriel was never an empty promise. In fact, I had multiplied my promise to him several times over with the startup capital the system gave me, and under his helpful guidance.I was no longer the woman who ben

  • The Billionaire's Gift   Chapter 10 The Verdict

    The evidence Gideon provided, coupled with what Gabriel had already uncovered, was more than enough to put Dylan away for life."Good." I closed the laptop."Well, hand it over. Give me the money!" Gideon reached straight for the suitcase.I pressed a hand on it and curled my lips into a faint smile. "Gideon, aren't you forgetting something?""Huh… What?""You still owe me 300,000."His expression darkened. "Summer, you've got plenty of money. Are you seriously going to be such a penny pincher? Besides, you promised me a million!""I promised you money," I said calmly. "I never said it would be cash."I flipped open the suitcase.However, there weren't stacks of bills in it. Instead, all it contained was a thick pile of legal notices and court summons."These are the charges against you—extortion, illegal gambling, and conspiracy to commit fraud. Gideon, did you really think throwing your brother under the bus would keep you safe? You were all in on it, so not one of you is w

  • The Billionaire's Gift   Chapter 9 When They Turn on Each Other

    "I swapped out his medication for vitamins!" Alice shrieked, her voice rising in her hysteria. "I let him die in pain! That was how I could save the money for Dylan's college tuition!"Her face twisted with bitter resentment."And look how it all turned out! The son I worked myself to the bone to raise ended up with a curse like you! I would've sold you off to some backwater village years ago and earned a huge sum if I'd known things would turn out like this!"Everyone could only stare at her in shock.Even the burly debt collectors felt a chill crawl up their spines upon hearing her words.'This old hag actually did something that monstrous?'"Th-That's murder, isn't it?" someone whispered.Gabriel raised a hand. The lawyer behind him stepped forward immediately."We've recorded everything she just said. Contact the police and reopen the investigation into Dylan's father's death."The word "police" snapped Alice back to reality.Her eyes went wide, and she immediately clampe

    I picked up the report and stared at the words. 'No gestational sac detected.'"Gabriel…" My nose stung as I felt a sense of warmth surge up my heart. "Why would you go this far for me?"Gabriel stepped in front of me, looking down at me calmly. Then, he abruptly reached out and gently pinched my earlobe."Because you said you'd bring 100 billion and devote your life to me." His lips curved slightly. "I'm a businessman. I honor all the contracts I sign. Now, it's your turn."I blinked, stunned. "My turn… for what?"Gabriel pointed toward the door."There's a charity gala tonight. You're coming with me. As Mrs. York, your job is to outshine everyone there. I want the whole room to see that someone like Dylan has never been worthy of you in the first place."…The Forrest family fell into complete chaos once word got out that Dylan had been arrested.Alice was only charged with attempted robbery. Due to her alleged "high blood pressure episode," she was eventually released after

It was clear that he no longer had any control of his faculties.I stared at the man who had once shared my bed, watching with cold eyes as he stripped his true self bare in front of everyone.The wail of sirens cut through the chaos.Two police officers pushed through the crowd and slammed Dylan to the ground while he was still ranting out his "perfect crime.""Dylan Forrest, you're under arrest for attempted unlawful confinement, poisoning, and fraud. You're coming with us."He struggled violently, his face grinding against the rough concrete.His eyes locked onto mine. For the first time, the fear in them outweighed the malice."Honey! Honey, help me! I was talking no

  • The Billionaire's Gift   Chapter 6 When the Truth Turned on Him

    "Be smart. Come back to me, transfer the house to Gideon, and give me five million to pay off my debts. Otherwise…" His voice dropped, cold and vicious. "I'll make sure everyone knows you're a cheating lunatic."I'll ruin your reputation so completely that you won't be able to hold your head up high for the rest of your life. Also, don't bother counting on Gabriel. People are watching and this is a family matter. "He'll be accused of abusing his power if he meddles. Or… do you want to bet on whether he's willing to offend everyone for you?"Then, he raised his voice again, switching masks in an instant."Honey, don't be afraid! I'll never give up on you no matter what! Come home with me!"He reached out, trying to drag me away. The crowd started chanting. "Go home! Go home!"People shoved me from all sides, boxing me in.Dylan's hand was less than half an inch from my shoulder.I locked eyes with him and called out in my mind, 'System. Activate Truth Mode. Full power.'"Com
