The Billionaire's Rejected Twins Chapter 68
Evelyn had all the news coverage printed out before Alex came downstairs.By seven that morning, there were fourteen different articles about the gala. Three video clips had already been viewed hundreds of thousands of times. Donations to the foundation had gone up by forty percent overnight. Two journalists who had been preparing stories about Bella's three years away had also quietly put their stories on hold, giving themselves time to see how things played out.Alex came into the room, picked up the first page, read it, and threw it onto the table."She basically called us out without actually saying our names," he said. "And she did it in front of all those donors and reporters.""She was talking about what happened," Evelyn said. "People are just making their own assumptions about who she meant.""It's the exact same thing." Alex said"No it isn't. It's different legally, and that matters," Evelyn said, stacking the papers neatly. "If we respond now, it'll look like we're the peo

After three days of nonstop work and last minute changes, the gala finally arrived, and it looked exactly as it should.That was the first thing Bella checked when she walked in that evening. The foundation's name was on the entrance wall where Hendricks' logo had been, the tables were set, and the stage lights were exactly where they needed to be. After three days of fixing different problems, it was hard to believe the room ever had any issues to begin with.She stood at the entrance for a few seconds, looking around and making sure everything was in place.Carlos walked over from the other side of the room. "Hale's already here," he said quietly. "He's at the press table, on the far left.""I saw him." She hadn't, but she figured he would be there. "Anyone else I should know about?""Two board members came together. They don't usually do that, so they're probably watching us." Carlos replied."Well, let them watch." She picked up a glass of water from a passing tray and moved into

The call came in at nine in the morning. It was Diane. If she was calling instead of emailing, Bella knew it was serious."Hendricks pulled out," Diane said before Bella could even finish saying hello. "This morning. They posted a statement on their website saying they're concerned about their reputation and are ending their sponsorship immediately."Bella set her coffee down. "But they committed four months ago didn't they?""I know." Diane replied "And they signed a contract. So They can't just pull out now." Bella said"They're saying the bad press gives them the right to cancel the sponsorship. There's a part of the contract they're pointing to." Diane paused. "And it's not just about losing their money, Bella. Their name is all over the event. It's on the programs, the stage backdrop, the signs at the entrance...""How much would it cost to change everything and print new ones without their name?" Bella asked Diane paused. "If we include the cost of removing their name from the

Lorenzo's lawyer laid out the settlement figure in the morning and Lorenzo approved it immediately.Not because Valentina had won. But because the amount was fair, the deal could be finished quickly, and Lorenzo had no interest in dragging out the negotiations and giving her more chances to use the situation against him. She had threatened to go to the journalists, so he gave her an offer that made the threat useless. That was all there was to it.His lawyer looked mildly surprised. He'd expected Lorenzo to take longer to make the decision."Send it to her team today," Lorenzo said. "I want signatures before the week ends.""She may push for more sir." His lawyer said"She won't." He picked up his phone. "She knows what a real fight with me costs. That's why she's keeping everything private."Valentina's response came back at noon. She had two small changes she wanted, and Lorenzo agreed to both without arguing. By two p.m., her lawyer had confirmed that they had reached an agreement.

The second morning was easier than the first.Julian woke up asking for cereal and checking that the cars were still where he'd left them. Lorenzo took that as a good sign that he was starting to feel comfortable here. Selena came into the kitchen on her own, rabbit tucked under one arm, and stood at the counter watching Lorenzo make breakfast, paying close attention to everything he did."Do you want eggs?" he asked her.She considered this. "Scrambled?""Scrambled it is." Lorenzo replied She climbed onto the bar stool and put the rabbit on the counter beside her.By ten, Julian had turned the living room into a racetrack for his cars. Lorenzo moved his laptop to the kitchen and tried to get some emails done while Julian talked nonstop about what was happening in the race. Selena sat on the couch, still working on the drawing she'd started yesterday. She'd asked Lorenzo for some paper and a pen, and he gave them to her without making a big deal about it.He was on his third email wh

Lorenzo had answered four emails in three hours.Julian was on the floor a few feet away, racing a car along the bottom of the couch and making all the sound effects himself at full volume. Every thirty seconds or so, he looked up to make sure Lorenzo was still there. Lorenzo had started to notice the pattern, check, make sure he was there, then keep playing.Selena sat on the couch with her rabbit in her lap, watching Lorenzo's laptop screen. She didn't fully trust what she was seeing yet, but she was clearly trying to figure out what he was doing."What's that?" Julian asked, pointing at the laptop."It's just work." Lorenzo answered "What kind of work?" Julian asked again "The kind that involves a lot of reading." Lorenzo replied back.Julian thought about it for a moment, then went back to playing with his car. Thirty seconds later, he asked, "Do you have any other cars?""I don't." Lorenzo answered "Why not?" Julian askedLorenzo closed the laptop. "I didn't know you were comi

Valentina was already at the penthouse that same day when Lorenzo walked in, sitting at the kitchen island with her laptop open and a coffee going cold beside her. She looked up when he came in, her gaze steady and quietly observant.She watched him cross the room.“You’re quiet,” she said, glancin

Bella sat on the edge of her bed, her mind racing.She didn’t stay long enough to reflect. She pushed herself up almost immediately, pacing a few steps before stopping again. Her fingers drummed against her thigh, restless, as she tried to think of something, anything that could help her.She pulle

Bella remained in the study, still standing there long after the door had closed.She couldn’t believe what her father had just said. The words kept replaying in her mind. Her chest felt tight, like the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving something heavy and suffocating behind.Evelyn was

Bella stepped inside her father’s mansion after the long, quiet drive. The heavy door clicked shut behind her, the sound echoing through the grand foyer.The staff moved around her with exaggerated care, heads slightly lowered, footsteps softer than usual, eyes flicking away the moment they landed
