Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME : Kabanata 231 - Kabanata 240

ZeldaThe diary felt heavy in my hands, a weight of years and secrets. It was filled with the naive ramblings of a seventeen-year-old girl, my seventeen-year-old self, full of clumsy, heartfelt declarations. I’d hidden it away, ashamed of its vulnerability, afraid of what someone might think if they found it.Then, that night. The night I overheard them. Mr Ferguson, and Mr. Bai, James's godfather. Their words, cold and calculated, cut through me like a knife."You mean Zelda Liamson? If the Ferguson family hadn't adopted her, she would have died tragically on the street… She should be grateful… wait for the Ferguson family to arrange a marriage for her… If she dares to be greedy and have evil thoughts about James, the Ferguson family will not tolerate her!"Greedy? Evil thoughts? I was terrified. I was a seventeen-year-old girl, hopelessly in love with my brother, and they were talking about arranging a marriage for me, using me as a pawn.I was afraid of being sent away, of never se

ZeldaSusan Wenger's composure crumbled. She hadn't anticipated James Ferguson's swift and thorough investigation. Her eyes darted around the room, a mix of fear and desperation twisting her features."Mr Ferguson! Mr Cheng and I do know each other, but we are not familiar with each other at all!" she stammered, her voice laced with a desperate attempt at denial.James Ferguson's lips curled into a thin, cruel smile. He swiped his finger across the tablet screen, and a video began to play. He handed the tablet to Mr. Bai.Mr. Bai's face paled as he watched the video, his hands trembling. The screen showed Susan Wenger and Qiyue engaged in intimate acts, a compilation of clips from various locations and time periods, clearly indicating an ongoing affair.The relationship between the two was undeniably exposed. Mr. Bai's hand shook, accidentally pressing the volume button, amplifying the audio."Baby, who is better, me or Bai Luoqi?" Qiyue's voice echoed through the room."Well, don't s

JamesI stared into Zelda’s eyes, my heart clenching as a bitter sneer escaped my lips."My love is cheap, but how good is your love that it can be controlled so freely?"She pushed me away again, her voice sharp and laced with frustration."Yes, my love is both free and cheap! Mr. Ferguson, go find Bai Luoxing and love her! You’ve been through so many thrilling things together. She’s gone through so many hardships for you, and your love is earth-shattering! You’ve been searching for her for years, regardless of life or death, regardless of everything. Your love is higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea, and truer than diamonds. I’m moved! I sincerely wish you’ll be together forever and love each other forever!"She spat out the words in one breath, her chest heaving as she struggled to catch her breath. Her panting echoed in the empty hall, filling the silence between us.My face darkened, my jaw tightening as I glared at her.Zelda turned to leave, but before she could take

ZeldaJames had once told me that Hellen Ferguson treated Bai Luoxing as her daughter. In fact, she would have preferred that the person who came back that year was Bai Luoxing, not me. And now, as I watched Hellen hold Bai Luoxing in her arms, her face filled with care and protectiveness, I could see just how true that was. She cradled Bai Luoxing like she was her own child, her voice soft and soothing.I couldn’t help but think about all the years I’d spent trying to please Hellen, all the effort I’d put into earning her approval. And yet, no matter what I did, I never received a single kind word from her. Now, seeing her dote on Bai Luoxing so effortlessly, I felt a bitter laugh bubble up inside me. It was ridiculous, really. Hellen and I were never compatible as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I had been fooling myself to think otherwise."I’m just sitting here," I said, my voice sharp. "What can I possibly do to her? She’s almost 30 years old now, not 11 or 12 anymore. Do you

ZeldaI chuckled softly, turning around and shoving the bank card and property certificates into Jian’s arms."Okay! Just take it all! If money’s being handed to you on a silver platter, wouldn’t you be stupid to push it away?"Jian hesitated, clutching the card and certificates like they might disappear if she loosened her grip."Can I really take it? But didn’t you work so hard to pay back James Ferguson’s 30 million?"I cut her off before she could finish. "I was stupid before, but it’s different now. You saved people and got seriously injured in the process. You *deserve* this. Why wouldn’t you take it? If you’re feeling uneasy, I have a favour to ask of you."I had made up my mind to leave, and I knew I couldn’t take Michael with me this time. Jian had accepted the money, and once I was gone, I needed someone to look after my brother if James decided to take his anger out on him. I explained this to Jian, and her eyes widened in shock."Of course, I have no problem taking care of
