All Chapters of Secret Billionaire Divorcee: Chapter 311 - Chapter 320

Knoxx's Point of ViewLogan Hill takes the stand looking twenty years older than when I first met him. Prison has aged him, or maybe it's guilt finally catching up."Mr. Hill," the prosecutor begins. "Please state your relationship to the victim, Elizabeth Hill.""She was my wife." Logan's voice is steady but quiet. "We were married for twelve years before she died.""And what was your relationship with the defendant, Charles Wayne?""Business partners. We worked together on several pharmaceutical ventures through Wayne Enterprises and Hill Group.""Can you describe the nature of these ventures?"Logan takes a deep breath. "Some were legitimate. Some were not. Charles had connections with researchers conducting experimental drug trials. Trials that weren't FDA approved. Trials that were killing patients."A murmur runs through the courtroom."When did you become aware of these illegal trials?""About six months before Elizabeth died. I discovered documentation showing that Charles and

Caroline's Point of ViewTwo days after Charles Wayne's sentencing, I visit my father in jail. He's being held until his own trial, which is scheduled for next month. His lawyer says he'll likely get fifteen years with possibility of parole after ten."Caroline." Dad stands when I enter the visiting room. "I didn't think you'd come.""I almost didn't." I sit down across from him, the table between us feeling like an ocean. "But we need to talk.""About what?""About forgiveness. About moving forward. About how we're going to handle this as a family."Logan looks older, grayer. Prison has stripped away the powerful businessman persona, leaving just a scared old man facing consequences."I don't deserve your forgiveness," he says quietly."Probably not. But I'm not doing this for you—I'm doing it for me. And for Liam." I lean forward. "Dad, I watched Adrian and Knoxx forgive Charles Wayne yesterday. Not because he deserved it, but because they deserved peace. It made me realize somethin

Caroline's Point of ViewThe merger process is exhausting. I spend twelve-hour days in meetings with lawyers, accountants, board members, and regulatory officials. Everyone has opinions about combining Wayne Enterprises and Hill Group."The pharmaceutical division needs complete restructuring," I argue in yet another strategy session. "We can't just merge the existing operations—we need to build something ethical from the ground up.""That will cost millions," the CFO protests."Yes. And it's worth it." I pull up my presentation. "Here's what happens if we don't: continued lawsuits from the illegal trials, damaged reputation, loss of consumer trust. Here's what happens if we do: industry leadership in ethical pharmaceuticals, competitive advantage, long-term sustainability."Knoxx nods from across the table. "Caroline's right. We're playing the long game, not quarterly profits."The debates continue for hours. But slowly, we're building consensus. The new company will prioritize ethic

Caroline's Point of ViewThe Foundation launch party is held in what used to be Wayne Enterprises' main conference room. We've transformed it completely—gone are the intimidating dark woods and formal portraits. Now it's bright, open, welcoming.Over three hundred people attend: employees, business partners, media, community leaders. Even Logan video-calls in from prison to watch the announcement.Knoxx and I stand at the podium together, ready to introduce the world to Foundation."Thank you all for coming," I begin. "Six months ago, Wayne Enterprises and Hill Group were separate companies with complicated histories. Today, we're proud to announce Foundation—a completely new entity built on transparency, ethics, and accountability."Knoxx continues: "Our fathers built empires on secrets and exploitation. We're building something different. Foundation will prioritize three things: ethical business practices, employee welfare, and community impact."I pull up our presentation. "Specifi

Caroline's Point of ViewExactly one year after Knoxx and I became official, he takes me back to Central Park. The same park where I met Adrian to discuss my mother's murder. The same park where so much pain unfolded."Why here?" I ask."Because we're transforming this space. Turning painful memories into beautiful new ones." He leads me to a different section—the Conservatory Garden, which is blooming with spring flowers.Liam runs ahead, giggling with excitement. He's in on whatever Knoxx has planned, which makes me both nervous and curious."Close your eyes," Knoxx says when we reach a specific spot."Seriously?""Trust me."I close my eyes, letting him guide me forward. I hear rustling, whispered instructions to Liam, then silence."Okay. Open."I open my eyes to see a beautiful picnic setup under a flowering tree. But what makes my breath catch is the display surrounding it—dozens of photographs chronicling our year together. Pictures from our first real date, from Foundation's l
