Semua Bab Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire: Bab 471 - Bab 480

The Sinclair estate was wrapped in a suffocating silence.Noah lay peacefully in his crib, asleep. Two nannies stood over him, carefully checking every inch of his tiny body, searching for even the faintest bruise. When they finally finished, both women let out quiet sighs of relief.But they knew better than to relax.The real nightmare was only beginning.In the living room, Liam stood rigid, a photograph clenched in his hand. His face was terrifyingly dark. Without warning, he lifted his foot and kicked the coffee table over.Porcelain shattered across the floor.Everyone froze.They had never seen Liam like this--completely unhinged. He slammed his fist into the wall. The sound was dull and sickening. His knuckles split open, blood seeping down his fingers, yet he didn't seem to feel a thing.Murphy stepped forward and picked up the photograph from the floor.It was a still image pulled from toll booth surveillance footage.Cecilia sat in the back seat of a black SUV. She wasn't r

"You don't really have a choice anymore, do you?" Liam's voice came through the line again--calm, steady."I've given you my terms. Think it through. Now let Cecilia speak."Broderick narrowed his eyes, staring at the phone for several seconds before finally handing it to her.Cecilia took it. Her fingers were trembling."It's me.""Cecilia, listen to me carefully," Liam said gently, his tone soft but unyielding. "No matter what Broderick says or does, you protect yourself. I'm on my way. Hold on until I get there.""Winston is innocent," Cecilia said, gripping the phone tightly. "I heard some of what you said earlier. Do you really have a solution?""Yes," Liam answered without hesitation. He paused briefly. "All I need is for you to promise me one thing."She swallowed. "What?""Wait for me."Cecilia took a deep breath and nodded, even though he couldn't see her."I'll wait.""Give the phone back to him."She glanced at Broderick and returned the phone.Broderick's voice was cold as

Inside the hotel suite, Hugh sat comfortably on the sofa, clearly amused as he watched the two of them walk in one after the other.He set his coffee cup down and smiled."I was told you were still wandering the night market. Back already?"Cecilia poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Liam."He stole my food," she said calmly, "and then got so overwhelmed by the spice he could barely walk."Hugh studied Liam closely--his face flushed, his breathing still uneven--and chuckled."So you helped yourself to Cecilia's share, did you?""How did you know?" Cecilia laughed, covering her mouth. "You should've seen him squatting on the sidewalk earlier. He looked like a lost puppy.""Mexican food doesn't play around," Hugh said with a grin. "Chili peppers are practically a food group. If it managed to take Liam down like this, he clearly ate something he shouldn't have."After finishing the entire glass, Liam finally felt the burning ease."I've had spicy food before," he said honestly.

Liam returned quickly.Cecilia had barely counted to one hundred under the blanket before the suite door opened.She poked her head out."You're back already?"He nodded and pulled a dress from the shopping bag."Put this on."She let out a long breath of relief and slipped the dress over her head. Once she was properly dressed, her eyes drifted to him--and she burst out laughing.Liam rubbed the mark on her neck, the one he'd left behind himself."We need to be more careful next time.""You're the one who tore my dress," Cecilia shot back.He frowned."You were teasing me on purpose.""I only used my mouth," she said innocently. "You're the one who used your hands.""...Enough."Liam pressed a piece of bread into her mouth. "Eat. Don't talk."She shot him a sideways look, barely holding back her laughter.He caught it and warned quietly,"Don't laugh while you're e

The moment the news reached the HG estate, nearly half of the family's core members converged on the conference room at the same time.Around the massive oak table, every face was grim. Some paced back and forth. Others gripped the backs of their chairs until their knuckles turned white. More people simply sat in silence, eyes flicking warily from one face to another.Hugh's sudden death hit the underworld like an earthquake.Though he had gradually stepped back from day-to-day operations in recent years, his name was still the loudest and most intimidating brand in the game. Smaller factions kept their distance from the HG family for one simple reason--Hugh was still alive.Now, Hugh was dead.So was Harvey, the heir many had placed their hopes on. Both had died in a so-called traffic accident.And the successor Hugh had personally named--Cecilia--had yet to make a single statement.Murmurs began to ripple through the room."T
