Semua Bab Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her: Bab 251 - Bab 260

"Miss Harris, you should know that I have a thousand ways to take Patricia away. But I don’t want to traumatize her, which is why I’ve given you the respect of making this choice. You can either return Patricia to me, or let her decide for herself if she wants to go with her mother."Sebastian stood in front of them, his voice cold and firm.Zora’s tearful eyes fell on Patricia, who looked up at her with a longing gaze."Aunt, I want to see my mommy!""No! You don’t have a mommy! You were just an abandoned child! You don’t have a mother!"In her panic, Zora's tone turned sharp, startling Patricia.It was the first time she had heard her aunt say she was abandoned.But that wasn’t true.She had a mommy.All these years, they had told her that her mother was far away, but now she knew her mother had returned."I'm not an abandoned child! I have a mommy!"Patricia struggled in Zora’s arms. "I want to go to my mommy!""No! No! Patricia, you’re coming home with me!"Zora held onto Patricia

Caitlin and Sebastian exchanged a glance before Sebastian gently explained to Patricia, “Sweetheart, from now on, you’ll be living with Daddy, Mommy, your brothers, and Grandma Beatrice. You might not be able to see them as often—Grandma Ximena and Aunt Zora have their own work to take care of.”Patricia hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Okay!”She didn’t press the issue, believing that once they were less busy, they would come to visit her.With her brothers eagerly surrounding her, playing games, Patricia quickly forgot about asking for her grandmother and aunt.Beatrice watched the children play, letting out a sigh of relief before turning to Caitlin with heartfelt gratitude.“Caitlin, thank you—truly, from the bottom of my heart. You’ve given so much to The Vanderbilt Family, yet we have given you so little in return.”Eliza reached out and held Caitlin’s hand. “You carried four children for this family… That must have been so hard for you.”Caitlin shook her head with a small

The soil was too dry. James pulled out his tactical knife and started digging, working his way around the tree’s roots.Kneeling on the ground, he had no idea how long he had been at it, how many holes he had dug, until finally—the tip of his knife hit something metal.The sound was different.Excitement surged through him as he dug faster, revealing a rusted metal box.The surface was corroded, the patterns almost unrecognizable. With effort, he pried it open with his knife.Years of exposure to water and soil had left its contents in ruins. The wooden objects inside had rotted, and plastic materials had become brittle, crumbling at the slightest touch.James carefully sifted through the decay.Then, finally, he found something intact.A small metal tube, about the length of a finger and as thick as a pen.Brushing off the dirt, he rinsed it thoroughly with bottled water until the tarnish faded away, revealing its true form—A brass whistle.His fingers trembled.Yes. A whistle.Jame

James didn’t back down. He downed one drink after another, glass after glass.Living as a lone wolf all these years, this was the first time he’d sat down for a proper meal and drinks with someone. He was actually enjoying himself.The two men kept drinking, neither willing to back down.But after finishing two whole bottles, James could no longer maintain his composure. His vision blurred, his head spun, and his body felt heavier by the second.He shook his head, struggling to stay conscious."I can’t drink anymore… I’m done…"Sebastian slammed his hand on the table."Admit it. You lost. You can’t outdrink me."James let out a ragged breath, barely managing to string together his words."I lost… Can’t keep up…"The moment he finished his sentence, he collapsed onto the table, completely knocked out."James!"Caitlin called his name a few times, but he didn’t respond."He's really drunk."Sebastian, also extremely intoxicated, reached for Caitlin’s hand, gripping it tightly."Caitlin…

Back then, it was Sienna and Teresa who had saved Caitlin and brought her to a safe place to give birth. When the last baby was born, they had told her that one of them didn’t make it.It was Teresa who had taken the stillborn child away to "handle" the situation.But why was it that Ximena just so happened to "find" the baby?If the child had truly been stillborn, they would have likely disposed of the body somewhere remote, somewhere no one could just stumble upon it.Yet, Ximena somehow ended up with the baby?The whole thing never quite added up.Caitlin had suspected Sienna and Teresa, but the sisters were loyal to Shadow Moon Pavilion. She had investigated them thoroughly and found no signs of betrayal or collusion with Ximena.Still—something wasn’t right.Ximena smirked at Caitlin’s suspicion."It was my subordinate. He happened to pass by, found the child, and brought her to me. I believe I’ve told you this before."Caitlin’s eyes narrowed."And where is this ‘subordinate’ no
