Semua Bab Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Megan had no choice but to explain with a forced smile, “Five years ago, we all thought Caitlin had perished in the fire. But it turns out, she was lucky enough to escape and survive. She just recently returned.”“Oh, I see!”“Five years gone, and Caitlin has grown into such a stunning woman! I wonder if she’s married yet?”As the guests shifted their attention to Caitlin, Megan’s irritation grew.Though she maintained her composure outwardly, Megan felt deeply vexed inside. She put on her best hostess smile, approached Caitlin, and said warmly, “Well, look who’s back—Caitlin!”Jasmine also noticed Caitlin’s uninvited arrival. Confused, she wondered what Caitlin’s intentions were in showing up so suddenly today.Scott’s reaction was even more dramatic. Hearing Megan address the woman as Caitlin, he froze, his entire body stiff with shock.It felt like an earthquake of magnitude 12 had just rocked him.He had no idea Caitlin was still alive. The Lewis Family hadn’t mentioned her return

As more guests arrived, Megan and Jonathan hurried off to greet them.Meanwhile, Scott, holding a glass of wine, walked confidently toward Caitlin. Standing in front of her, his gaze unabashedly roved over her figure. With a smirk, he tried to strike up a conversation.“Caitlin, it’s been years. You seem to be doing quite well for yourself.”Scott made no mention of the past, assuming Caitlin was still in the dark about the fire he had started years ago. His interest was now piqued by her transformation; the new, stunning Caitlin had become an irresistible magnet.“Scott,” Caitlin replied with a frosty smile, “chatting with me like this in front of everyone—aren’t you worried my sister will get jealous? Or that people might start gossiping about you?”Her tone was dripping with sarcasm. To her, Scott was nothing more than a scumbag, a man who betrayed her while chasing wealth and power. She was glad they had broken up years ago. However, the TGV shares he swindled from her—those, she

"Mommy! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to...!"Arthur lay on the ground, staring at the spilled ashes, his little face crumpled with regret. He had meant well but had messed up everything instead."Master Arthur!"Quincy and the others were caught off guard. They froze for a moment before rushing forward, unsure how to respond.Bruce sighed, shaking his head at his younger brother's clumsiness.Caitlin frowned as she walked over, first checking Arthur for injuries. Once she was sure he was unharmed, her gaze shifted to the ashes scattered on the ground.Tears streamed down her face.Her heart ached deeply.But how could she scold her own son? Arthur was already devastated."I'm sorry, Mommy..."Caitlin knelt down and began to scoop the ashes back into the urn with her bare hands, her movements careful but heavy with grief.Arthur, still trembling with guilt, cried out, "I'm so sorry, Grandma! I didn’t mean to spill you! I'm sorry..."Quincy grabbed some tools and stepped forward, ready t

Caitlin’s sharp voice echoed through the room, making everyone tremble.“Quicklime? What do you mean?” Jonathan asked in confusion.Caitlin picked up the urn and thrust it in front of him. “Look closely! Is this my mother’s ashes? No, it’s quicklime! How could you be so heartless? Not even leaving her remains intact? Are you even human?”Her rage boiled over, and she flung the quicklime at Jonathan.Jonathan raised his arm to shield himself, his face spared, but his body was coated in white powder. The sharp, acrid smell confirmed her accusation—it really was quicklime.“How can this be? How could it be quicklime?” Jonathan stammered, his confusion apparent. “Caitlin, why would I switch out Kelly’s ashes? When I collected the urn from the funeral home, I delivered it straight to the columbarium. I never even opened it!”Caitlin’s steely gaze bore into him, but Jonathan’s panicked tone made it clear he wasn’t lying. To prove his innocence, he raised his hand.“Caitlin, if you don’t bel

“Beatrice, Yasmin hasn’t told you the full story. The truth is, I hit her because she stood by and watched Howard being bullied without lifting a finger. Don’t you think I was right to do that?” Caitlin said sharply.“Someone bullied Howard? When did this happen?” Beatrice’s face darkened at the mention of her great-grandson being mistreated.“Today, after school at the kindergarten gate. Howard was mocked and bullied by some of the other kids, and Yasmin was right there, doing nothing to help him. I slapped her to make sure she learned a lesson!” Caitlin explained.“Is this true, Yasmin? You’re Howard’s caregiver. How could you just watch him being bullied and not do anything?” Beatrice asked, turning to Yasmin.Grace quickly came to her defense. “Mom, there must be some misunderstanding here. Yasmin really likes Howard. There’s no way she’d just stand by if he was being bullied. We can’t just take Caitlin’s word for it.”Yasmin pouted, playing up the victim role. “Aunt Grace is righ
