Lahat ng Kabanata ng An Affair with the Billionaire: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

“It seems quite difficult to meet you, Teacher Greene,” he remarked, his tone laced with subtle reproach.Emerald responded with a faint smile and a voice that was calm and confident, neither servile nor arrogant.“As a junior, I should have visited earlier. It would’ve saved the old gentleman from spending two hundred thousand unnecessarily.”The old man traced the rim of his teacup with his finger. “To Teacher Greene, two hundred thousand must seem like a fortune, doesn’t it?”Emerald, ever perceptive of people’s emotions and skilled in the art of tea, could have chosen to demonstrate her abilities to win him over. But she didn’t.She knew better. The old man’s prejudice against her wasn’t something that could be overcome with a perfect painting, mastery of tea ceremony, or even submissive behavior.No matter how flawless she appeared, it wouldn’t matter—her lack of a family background comparable to the Corrigans overshadowed everything else.Outside, the rain lashed against the win

What was she even talking about? His beloved grandson, the pride of the Corrigan, reduced to being a trophy husband?This girl! Despite her delicate, beautiful face, every word that came out of her mouth only made him more exasperated. After all this time, she hadn’t mentioned his grandson’s family name, status, or wealth—not even the highly coveted title of Mrs. Corrigan. No, none of that mattered to her. She was fixated on his looks.And if that wasn’t enough, she even called the responsibilities of being Mrs. Corrigan troublesome!Where did this woman even come from? For the first time, Mr. Corrigan felt genuinely stumped.He fumed for a while, his mind reeling, before eventually calming himself. A low cough escaped him as he finally spoke, a hint of resignation in his tone.“Well, it’s... good that you think that way. In the future, when he gets married, I expect him to be the one supporting you. As long as you behave yourself and don’t stir up trouble, I can turn a blind eye to t

Emerald frowned in thought. "If I were the old man, I’d have spread rumors about Ethan and me staying at the same hotel to stir trouble."Alaric nodded, his expression darkening. "It’s very likely Ethan is behind this. He’s been scheming against you for a while.""But it’s not just Ethan," he continued, his tone hardening. "There’s also Ariza."Ethan had tried to use Ariza to sabotage Emerald’s work, while Ariza intended to exploit her position for personal gain.What neither of them realized was that Emerald had already planned to resign long ago to focus on Alaric. Their efforts were wasted punches thrown into thin air."He’s so despicable," Emerald muttered, her voice laced with frustration.Seeing Emerald pouting, Alaric chuckled softly. "If you can let things go, you’ll be rewarded. For now, let’s make life easy for him."Later, Emerald found herself in Alaric’s office again. Thick stacks of folders had piled up during the days he’d been away."Little Moon," Alaric said gently, g

As she spoke, she heard the unmistakable sound of heavy footsteps drawing closer, their echoing rhythm unsettling in the vast emptiness of the space around her.Her throat tightened as she swallowed, the reality of her restraints settling in. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her vision was obscured by the blindfold. In this situation, she had nothing but her sense of touch and hearing to guide her through what was coming next.But she couldn’t even rely fully on her hearing, her left ear deafened to the rest of the world. Despite the panic rising within her, she managed to keep her face calm, though her mind raced in confusion.The footsteps stopped, and she felt the man approach her, then squat down in front of her. In an instant, his hand gripped her chin, forcing her head back, exposing her neck to his control.A wave of nausea hit her, but she fought it down, refusing to let him see her weakness.Emerald’s body instinctively tensed at the touch, a rush of disgust flooding

That night at the hotel, Ethan must have been having an affair with Ariza.Ariza had clearly been stewing in her jealousy. When she saw Ethan meeting with Emerald, she must have felt threatened. That’s when she started plotting to hurt Emerald.But Emerald’s decision to resign ruined Ariza’s chance to confront her directly. Left with no other option, Ariza resorted to this desperate, cruel plan.Her twisted logic? If Ethan saw Emerald disgraced and humiliated, he’d lose whatever obsession he had for her.“Yes, it was all for Ethan,” Alaric confirmed grimly.After finishing with the medicine for Emerald’s feet, he pulled out his phone and showed her some photos.The pictures revealed Ariza and Ethan sneaking around together. They had been spotted entering and leaving the same hotel within minutes of each other, several times.The timestamps on the surveillance footage made it clear—Ethan had been having an affair with Ariza long before Samantha ever cheated on him.A shiver ran down Em
