All Chapters of The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye: Chapter 481 - Chapter 490

Jim's hunch hadn't been wrong—Harold had originally planned to hide Basia in the trunk again.Half an hour earlier, right after Benjamin and the broad-nosed thug rushed out to search for her, Harold had crawled out of the burlap sack with Basia in tow."Harry, what do we do now?" Basia clung tightly to Harold's hand.She was frightened. She didn't know exactly what those men wanted, but she knew it wasn't anything good. She also feared dragging Harold into danger, so whatever he said, she would obey."We can't just run. We're too small and don't have the strength. If we take off, they'll catch us in no time." Harold had already thought it through while hiding in the sack."Then where should we hide?" Basia's wide eyes darted around the dusty, cobwebbed warehouse. She didn't care about the grime—what terrified her was the thought of never seeing her mom and dad again.Sensing her fear, Harold patted her shoulder. "Don't be scared, Basia. I'm right here with you. Trust me, my dad will c

Homer was alive.That explained the photo.That explained why Kane had accused her of killing Caleb.He knew—he knew everything.Homer must have told him.Gabriella staggered back two steps, clutching at a decorative tree by the elevator for balance. Her face drained of color as she stared at Kane, her gaze a storm of conflicting emotions."Kane…" she whispered.Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined this. The man she had loved and pursued for so many years had tracked down Homer—and now he was determined to destroy her.Kane's eyes were like shards of ice as he looked at her. In his mind flashed the image of Basia's feverish, fragile face, and rage threatened to consume him. He wanted nothing more than to end Gabriella right there.But killing her in secret would only give Burnell leverage against him. If he wanted to bring down the Jepson family once and for all, Gabriella had to face the law.To the watching employees, Gabriella's trembling retreat looked like nothing but a s

When Basia fell ill, Kane and Aria knew they couldn't hide it. They called both sets of parents early that morning, reassuring them that everything would be fine.But neither side felt at ease. Less than an hour later, as if they'd coordinated, all three grandparents showed up at the hospital.By the time Kane returned from handling business, the three of them were already in the ward, keeping Basia company."Daddy!" Basia's eyes lit up the moment she saw him.Maybe because she'd grown up craving a father's presence, Basia's bond with Kane had become remarkably close—so close even Aria sometimes felt a twinge of envy.The grandparents, watching father and daughter together, could only smile in relief.At the sound of his daughter's sweet little voice, every trace of Kane's anger and frustration melted away. He strode over quickly, leaned over the blanket, and pulled Basia into a careful hug."Sweetheart, tell Daddy—do you feel any pain? Anywhere uncomfortable?"Basia shook her head, h

Kane narrowed his eyes, lips curling faintly. He had expectedBurnell's reaction and was more than happy to watch the man nearly lose his mind because of Gabriella."Burnell even tore into Mandy," Arthur said with a grin. "The whole Jepson household is walking on eggshells, afraid he'll lash out at them next. Oh, and remember that illegitimate son he found? He renamed him Raymond. Looks like Burnell's planning to bring him into the family soon."With Caleb and Gabriella both gone, Burnell had no heirs left.Finding a bastard son was like striking gold, and now he was desperate to mold Raymond into JE Group's new successor.Kane set aside the file in his hand and looked up. "What's happening with Gabriella's remains?"Originally, Kane had planned for Gabriella to rot in prison. He'd even arranged for her to be "welcomed" properly—tormented until she begged for death.But with her sudden "suicide," those plans had gone up in smoke.For all she'd done, Kane thought even scattering her as

Even though it was Gabriella who killed Caleb, Aria could never forget how Burnell hadn't shown the slightest grief. Instead, he tried to use Caleb's death as a weapon to strike at Kane.A man who could exploit the death of his own flesh and blood—what kind of monster was that?To Aria, Burnell wasn't worth even her contempt.Kane, gently patting her back, could guess what was running through her mind. He didn't speak, only offered silent comfort.Taking a deep breath, Aria lifted her head to look at him, then forced a small smile."I just hope I'm not his daughter."Kane said nothing. He only ruffled her hair roughly, hiding the sharp frown that creased his face when she wasn't looking.After sending Aria home, Kane called Cedric."I think we should hold off on telling her about your aunt," Kane said, recounting everything that had just happened.Originally, Kane had agreed with Cedric that they'd tell Aria the truth about his aunt at the right time. But given her explosive reaction
