Semua Bab Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong: Bab 191 - Bab 200

Emma stepped out of the police station with a heavy heart and a deep frown on her face.Her hands were cold, and her fingers curled tighter around the small folder of evidence she had brought along. She had expected the police to at least take her seriously—maybe not launch a full investigation right away, but at least listen. Believe her. Instead, she had left feeling worse than when she walked in.She opened her car door and sank into the driver’s seat, staring blankly ahead for a moment.“How could they not believe me?” she whispered under her breath.They had looked at her like she was being overly dramatic. One officer even chuckled as he leaned back in his chair, saying something along the lines of,“So, you watched some paranoid video online, planted a piece of thread, and now you’re convinced someone’s sneaking into your house?”Emma had tried to explain everything—the missing thread, the files moved slightly out of place, the home office door she never left open—but it hadn’t

Being shocked was an understatement.Emma stood there, frozen in her father’s study, staring at the man who had just told her no. Her fingers clenched the handle of Claire's suitcase so tightly her knuckles had turned white. Disbelief, betrayal, and fury boiled in her veins."You're really saying no?" Her voice came out choked, almost too soft to hear. She took a step forward, eyes wide with disbelief. "You’re really turning your back on us? On your own granddaughter? After everything I just told you? Someone tried to kill me! Someone broke into my house! And you're telling me—after all that—you won’t let her stay here?!"Mathew didn’t respond. He didn’t even look at her. His silence was louder than any words he could have said. He stood there, arms crossed, staring past her like she wasn't even there.Emma's hands balled into fists at her sides. "Are you not worried about Claire's safety at all? Did you not hear what I just said? Someone tried to kill me! I can't keep her in a hotel,

"...which is why I believe partnering with Ventronix could triple our market reach in Asia," one of the board members, Mr. Lennox, said confidently, folding his notes with a smug smile."And let’s not forget our numbers from last quarter," Mr. Coleman added. "We exceeded projections by fifteen percent. That growth isn’t accidental—it’s strategic.""Exactly," another voice chimed in. "We keep this momentum, our subsidiary company will become the largest private tech conglomerate in the region within two years."David sat at the head of the long glass table, listening closely. His presence alone commanded the room—he didn’t need to speak often.They were all pleased with the progress of the company. The self-satisfaction in their voices was evident. And to some extent, deserved.The subsidiary company in Asia had grown under his leadership—exponentially so. Partnerships were a logical next step for better progress.About thirty minutes later, the meeting wrapped up.“Excellent work, eve

David didn’t waste a single second. The moment he heard the news, he was already halfway to the door. "Let me come with you," Grandpa said, visibly worried. David paused briefly, shaking his head. "No, Grandpa. Please stay here with Henry and Claire. They need you." Grandpa's eyes darkened with concern, but he didn’t argue. He only nodded, his shoulders slumped with resignation. David turned and rushed towards his car. As the engine roared to life and the tires screeched away, Grandpa sighed deeply, his hands trembling slightly as he walked back into the living room. He sat on the couch and rubbed his hands together. He remembered when Emma had come over to drop off Claire. She had smiled and sounded okay, and even assured him everything was fine, that she was just swamped with work. But he could see past her mask. There had been fear in her eyes. Not obvious, but subtle – the kind that someone tried hard to hide. He had sensed that something was wrong. Grandpa hadn’t w

Gavin stared blankly at the screen of his phone just after ending the call. He frowned, his mouth slightly open as if the words he had just heard were still hanging in the air. He muttered under his breath, shaking his head slowly."What exactly was she talking about?” he wondered, muttering to himself. He had been here all this while, stuck on this ridiculous hiking trip or vacation Sophie insisted on for days—waking early, trekking through rocks and woods, pretending to enjoy the fresh air like it was a spiritual awakening.Nonsense! Just plain nonsense!Before he could think more about the call, the bathroom door opened. Sophie stepped out, wrapped in a towel, her hair damp as she rubbed it with another. The scent of her shampoo wafted into the room—a mix of honey and lavender. She moved across the room, humming softly as steam still clung faintly to her skin, oblivious to Gavin’s growing irritation.“I’ve been trying to reach Emma since last night,” Sophie said in a concerned
