The Billionaire's Reborn Bride. CHAPTER 0185
Richard sat at the dining table, staring at the untouched cup of coffee in front of him while Olivia scrolled through her phone.Olivia, however, seemed to have little interest in eating.“Your father’s birthday is next week,” she began, putting her phone down. “And I have a feeling he’s going to make an announcement about the succession.”Richard lifted his eyes. “You have been saying that for days.”“Because it is important, Richard.”“I know when my father’s birthday is.”“Then perhaps you should start acting like you understand what is at stake.” Olivia leaned back in her chair, irritation creeping into her voice. “I have been trying to reach Damien since the reception, but he refuses to answer my calls. I have called him several times, and he hasn’t even bothered to return one.”Richard reached for his coffee. “Maybe he’s busy.”“Busy?” Olivia repeated with disbelief. “He always has time for business. He always has time for whatever he considers important. But when it comes to hi

The private jet touched down at Los Angeles International Airport just after nine in the evening.Damien remained seated for a moment, looking through the window as the ground crew approached.His meeting with Dr. Anderson had given him something he hadn't had since leaving St. Mary's Hospital.Hope.It wasn't a guarantee. The doctor had been clear about that. He needed to examine Elena himself and conduct further tests before deciding on the best course of treatment, but there were options, and he intended to explore every one of them.He collected his briefcase and stepped off the jet.Jules was already waiting beside the car.“Welcome back, sir.”Damien gave a brief nod before getting into the back seat. Jules followed him in, the car door closed behind them with a soft thud. Damien took out his phone and turned it on. It buzzed and buzzed in his palm, a stream of missed calls and unread messages stacking up one on top of the other.Jules glanced at him through the rearview mirror

Olivia walked through the doors of Carrington Industries. The moment she reached the reception area, several employees straightened.She barely acknowledged them; her heels clicked against the marble floor as she walked toward the elevators.When she reached Damien's private floor, his secretary immediately stood.“Mrs. Carrington.”Olivia continued walking.“Mrs. Carrington, I am sorry, but Mr. Carrington isn't available at the moment.”Olivia stopped; she slowly turned her head. The look she gave the woman made her swallow hard.“I assume you are new?”The secretary immediately lowered her eyes. “I apologize.”Olivia turned back toward the office.“Where is my son?”“He's not in the office.”Olivia frowned; she had been calling Damien all morning. His phone had been switched off. She had assumed he was simply ignoring her calls; she walked past the secretary and pushed open the door to Damien's office.Jules was standing near the window, going through several documents. He looked up

Patricia sat behind her desk. She picked up her phone and dialed a number she hadn't called in a long while.The call connected after several rings.“Hello?”“Daniel.”There was brief silence on the other end.“Patricia?”“Yes.”Daniel's voice immediately became cautious. “What happened?”“There's been a development.”“What kind of development?”Patricia leaned back in her chair. “Someone found out about the payments.”“What?”“Elena discovered the payments made to Westbridge.”Daniel swore under his breath. “How?”“She was looking through the company's financial records.”“You knew she was doing that?”“I knew she was suspicious. I didn't know how far she had gotten.”Daniel's voice hardened. “Patricia, this is exactly what I warned you about.”Patricia's eyes narrowed. “Don't start.”“You were supposed to make sure those records were never found.”“They weren't found.”“She knows about the payments.”“She knows the payments existed. She doesn't know why they were made.”“That is alr

The tension between Elena and Maya had eased; Maya felt great relief that she did not have to keep what she knew hidden anymore. She was still trying to take in the bombshell that her boss had dropped about her marriage being a contract marriage.Maya immediately sat up. “I forgot to ask, what were you doing in the archive?”Elena looked at her. “The archive?”“Yes.” Maya folded her arms. “You were in the finance department before you nearly collapsed. What were you looking for?”Elena sighed. “I was looking for some documents.”“What documents?”“Documents that contained payments made to Westbridge Consulting Group.”Maya's eyebrows lifted.“Westbridge?”Elena nodded.“I found several payments made to them over almost two years. The problem is, there is no active contract with them. They aren't registered as one of the company's vendors either.”Maya's expression became serious.“And you found this yourself?”“Yes.”“Why didn't you tell me?”Elena hesitated.“I didn't want to disturb

Elena stared at Maya. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.Maya's tears continued to fall, and despite everything Elena was feeling, watching her cry hurt more than the betrayal.She was angry; Maya had followed her and discovered something she had desperately wanted to keep hidden.But this was Maya; seeing her break down made Elena's anger feel suddenly unbearable.“Maya…”Maya quickly wiped her cheeks.“I'm sorry.”Elena's chest tightened.“Don't cry.”“I can't help it.”Maya tried to laugh, but another tear slipped down her cheek.“I was so scared, boss.”Elena's expression softened. She slowly reached for Maya's hand.“Come here.”Maya looked at her, and Elena pulled her closer. The moment Maya felt Elena's arms around her, she broke down again.“I thought something was going to happen to you.”Elena closed her eyes; Maya buried her face against Elena's shoulder.“I kept thinking that one day I would come into your office and…” Her voice broke. “I couldn't finish that thoug

Elena made it to her car before the shaking started. She climbed into the driver’s seat and gripped the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles turned white, taking deep, shuddering breaths that did nothing to steady her racing heart.Victoria’s pregnancy announcement had struck her like a knife to

“Elena?”Elena’s head snapped up. Standing at the bottom of the escalator, shopping bags from the hospital gift shop in her hands, was Victoria.Her stepsister’s eyes widened with surprise, then immediately narrowed with calculation as she took in Elena, the medical information packet clutched in h

Back at the mansion, Elena finally stirred around noon. She blinked against the dim light filtering through her curtains, disoriented for a moment. Her body felt heavy.She reached for her phone immediately, and as the screen lit up, a calendar reminder flashed: Dr. Turner - 12:00 PM - Brain Tumor
