All Chapters of Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife : Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

**Trigger warning: This chapter is a little dark. My faint heart is trembling already. So, please, read with caution. ... Detroit~Father and daughter arrived at the research facility in a helicopter. The guards lined up instantly upon their arrival, forming two neat rows. Their hands pressed to their sides, eyes locked in the air, like they were watching something interesting. Detroit descended first, his coat flaring behind him as the wind caught it. Then, he turned and extended a gloved hand to his daughter.She didn't hesitate. She gave him her hand as she climbed down. One small, one big. Their faces identical, like they were carved from the same ice. Only that Detroit's was sharper. They walked hand in hand towards the glass building ahead. The sign above the building read:WEST INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED MEDICAL AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.The letters shone silver under the afternoon sun. The entire building was glass and steel — modern, silent, and intimidating.Detroit’s shoes c

Adele~I stretched, yawned, and turned over, sinking into the soft sheets that still smelled faintly of Detroit’s cologne and dark masculinity that wrapped around me like a lullaby I never wanted to wake from. I inhaled it deeply and let out a long, satisfied sigh.I didn’t want to open my eyes yet. I wanted five—no, ten—more minutes of pretending life was simple again. But when my sleepy brain caught up with the reality that I was now an official wife, a mother, and… God help me… an acknowledged daughter-in-law to the West, my eyes snapped open on instinct.But what was I supposed to do today? Idle in my husband's room? I shook my head. It didn't sound good. ‘Okay, Adele,’ my inner self resurrected. ‘You’ve never had in-laws before, so maybe you should start by acting civilized. Go find your mother-in-law or grandmother-in-law, see if she needs you for anything.’ If you take out going to find Mrs. Lorraine West, then everything else sounded like a reasonable evening plan.However,

Julia~Julia was panicking, pacing in her room like a trapped animal who knew it was in danger.“1.5 billion?” she whispered, her throat tight.She had five hundred million from that person. Where on earth was she supposed to find another billion?Her net worth had once been seven hundred and sixty million, but that was before everything went downhill. Before companies began dropping her one by one. Before her agency suspended her indefinitely. Before the internet turned into a warzone of hashtags demanding her downfall.Now, even her so-called friends had long deserted her. Sponsors she’d worked with for years deleted their photos with her, pretending she never existed. The paparazzi who used to chase her for beauty shots were now chasing her for breakdown photos.A couple of pictures of her surfaced again on the internet — after Ryan chased her out of his house yesterday — and now they were trending side by side with Adele’s wedding photos.Those jobless vultures on Trendle, who use

Adele~ “Hahahahahaha…!” Who said being a villain wasn’t interesting? Because right now, I felt like a supervillain... Was this how Ryan and Julia felt when they were playing me? Did they feel this...thrill? Roman’s message came in a couple of minutes ago, and just like that, I now owned 50% of Luxehaven. But there was still a long way to go before I could grab the entire company. Ryan owned the other 50%, and Roman said he wouldn’t sell. He said he’d rather see the company burn to the ground than let go of those shares. I knew that too. The company was built on his mother’s recipe. His obsession. And that was exactly why I was going for it. “So, how do I force him to sell his shares to me?” I asked my dear husband, who had just returned a few minutes ago — from God knows where — with our daughter. He’d brought back a 'wedding present' for me. But guess what he got… Anyway, forget that. I needed to know how to get Ryan’s shares first. “You don’t need his shares to own his com

Adele~Why did I marry this man? No, why exactly did I marry him!?While I was lying here, hyperventilating, he was discussing whatnot with Silver, who was hellbent on not sleeping. I hadn't been able to register a single thing they were talking about. Didn't they have a sour relationship? When did they become so close? It called for celebration, but not right now. No, not when my core was still throbbing. Not when my pulse was pounding, and the man had the nerve to occasionally brush his treacherous fingers across my skin, pretending not to know what he was doing. Can I kill him and hide his body? I didn't even notice that my teeth had sunk into my lower lip until I felt the pain.“Mummy, you aren't saying anything.” Silver turned to me, her eyes shining with expectations. I blinked. “Wh–what were you saying?” Her brows creased, the excitement in her eyes dying and God, I hated that look. My hand quickly reached for her cheek, caressing it with the back of my finger, trying m
