All Chapters of Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Cecilia stayed by Eleanor's side, dressed in a simple, loose-fitting maxi dress and flat shoes, with only a finely made shawl draped over her shoulders to barely suit the occasion.She held a small clutch in her hand, yet her posture looked slightly awkward--this kind of outfit felt far too casual for her.Outside the venue, camera flashes went off nonstop.Cecilia, who was usually the center of attention at every social event, had never imagined she would appear in front of so many lenses wearing flats she had never touched before and with almost no makeup on.She quietly took a breath, doing her best to maintain the smile on her face.Especially when her gaze landed on Liam in the distance, busy entertaining Beck's older relatives--her dissatisfaction burst out almost through clenched teeth as she shot him a fierce glare.Liam caught her look from afar. He gently shook his head, signaling with his eyes for her to forget about switching back into high heels.Eleanor leaned in and whi

Outside the window, daylight remained unchanged.The autumn wind swept through the corridor, carrying the sterile chill unique to hospitals.Vicky leaned against the wall, staring blankly at the elongated shadow of herself on the floor. Her eyes were hollow, as if nothing could be reflected in them anymore.Robin gently placed a cup of hot tea into her icy hands."We did everything we could. It was a head-on collision. The speed was too high. By the time he arrived… it was already--"Vicky slowly lifted her gaze. Her eyes drifted unfocused to his face, her voice light and unsteady, as if floating."The person inside… is that really my brother? Is it really Nick?"Robin remained silent and nodded.Vicky suddenly stood up, splashing a few drops of tea onto the floor."That's impossible… He drank too much last night. He should still be asleep at home."Robin held her trembling shoulders, lowering his voice."Vicky. It's Nick. He's gone.""No…" She shook her head, her speech growing faste

Vicky chased Eleanor across most of the estate before finally catching her by the trees near the lake.Both of them were gasping for breath, barely able to straighten up.Eleanor clutched her head with both hands, her voice shattered as she repeated over and over, "Don't say it… it's my fault… I'm sorry… I should be the one to die… it's all my fault…"Vicky braced her hands on her knees and took several hard breaths before yanking Eleanor up from the ground."You are at fault! I misjudged you from the very beginning--I never imagined you'd drag Nick this deep!"Eleanor's lips trembled.She bit down unconsciously, and a thin line of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, making her already pale face look even more bloodless.Seeing her like this, Vicky suddenly tugged at the corner of her mouth. There was exhaustion in her smile."But I don't have a choice… I can't watch Beck turn into another Nick, living like an empty shell. So, Eleanor--consider this me begging you. Stop losing

Slanted sunlight filtered through the blinds, carving bands of light and shadow along the edge of the bed.Cecilia jolted awake, her bangs soaked with cold sweat.She pressed a hand to her chest, her heartbeat racing and heavy, an inexplicable sense of dread tightening around her breath."What's wrong?" Liam looked up from the sofa, the file resting on his knees.Cecilia wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, her voice unsteady. "I had a dream.""What kind of dream scared you like that?" He set the file aside, walked over, and poured her a glass of warm water, placing it in her hands. "Take a moment. Breakfast will be here soon--try to eat something."She took a sip. As the warmth slid down her throat, her heartbeat gradually slowed."Is Eleanor awake?""Beck's with her. Don't worry." Liam took out a handkerchief and gently dabbed away the sweat still clinging to her temple. "After breakfast, I'll take you home to rest."Cecilia, however, caught his wrist, her eyes still cloude

Inside the car, Cecilia turned to look back at the hospital building shrinking into a tiny dot in the distance, until it finally disappeared around the corner of the street.She turned forward again and leaned gently into the seat.Liam reached out, drawing her a little closer and letting her rest against his shoulder."We're going back to the estate today," he said above her head, his voice low and steady.Cecilia lifted her head slightly to look at him. "Today?""Mmm. My father informed me that an elder has returned and wants to see us.""Who is it?""You'll know when we get there."The car drove smoothly along the winding mountain road and finally stopped in front of the familiar mansion at the summit.The heavy iron gates slowly opened. Two rows of servants stood in silence on either side, welcoming them without a word.From the moment Cecilia stepped out of the car, she sensed that something was different.The Sinclair family residence was always impeccably orderly, but today the
