All Chapters of Betrayed Heiress, Now Claimed By The Untouchable Billionaire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

At the garden, both Evelyn and Alex stood close to the swimming pool, enjoying the cold breeze as it blew through their skin.Silence grew between them, with Evelyn’s gaze fixed on the water, while Alex’s gaze was fixed on her worried face.He knew he had to say something to soothe her uneasiness as she looked really worried at the moment. This wasn’t how he had wanted the night to turn out.He knew Katherine would ruin things for him, which was the reason he had asked her to spend the night at their parents.“Hey” he said, his voice low and calm.Evelyn raised her head to meet his gaze, flashing him a faint smile. “You’re okay?” She asked, concern laced her tone.She was referring to earlier. It might have just seemed like an ordinary cough but it actually looked more than that.Alex’s expression had also changed, and it wasn’t as bright as it was when she had just arrived earlier.Alex nodded, his gaze locking with Evelyn’s.Slowly, he took a step closer to her and exhaled heavily.

“Katherine? What are you doing here?” Evelyn asked. She walked towards her with a furrowed eyebrows, standing a few feet away from her.Clara, who was sitting on the couch turned to face her daughter, a big smile spreading across her face.“Oh, you’re here,” she said, her voice filled with happiness. “I was just about to go to your room. Kate is here to talk to you about the engagement. I was told you both had plans already.”As soon as Clara let out those words, Evelyn’s gaze snapped to Katherine, with a questionable expression.When did they have such a conversation that would lead to such agreement? The last time she checked, they didn’t share any kind of good relationship that would warrant such a discussion.Also, she knew it wasn’t possible for Katherine to show up at her doorstep just to talk about her engagement.Not after what had happened between them last night.Plus, what would happen to the deep seated animosity that Katherine harbored for her?Evelyn knew if there’s so

Time flew by fast, as the party began. Foods and drinks were served to the guests, as Aaron and his wife, Clara took over the stage, both thanking everyone for coming."Ladies and gentlemen, our esteemed guests, we're honored to have you here with us tonight," Aaron began, his voice filled with happiness and gratitude. "We invited y'all here to celebrate my precious daughter, Evelyn.”"Four years ago, I had a deep misunderstanding with my daughter. I know I shouldn’t be saying this tonight as it’s a joyful moment, but we all know joy has it’s own way of revealing our true feelings,” he said, and majority of the guests burst into laughter. “She left home, and I must admit that I missed her very much. But after four years, we’re blessed to have her back and tonight, I’m proud to announce her engagement to Alexander Blackwood, a young, very capable man I’ve come to regard as my son. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the future Mrs. Blackwood, my daughter, Evelyn Martins and her fian

Evelyn turned to Chris, her gaze cold and piercing. She’s had enough of him already and it was time for her to end their situation-ship, which she once believed was a relationship once and for all.But before she cut ties with him, she would let Chris know that she saw right through him already. She confronted him, and revealed to him everything she knew about his secret relationship with Andrea, without sparing any details. Even though she was furious, yet her composure were laced with calmness.Chris blinked his eyes repeatedly, struggling to process all that Evelyn had revealed to him. Though, he knew she had been suspicious of his relationship with Andrea, but didn’t realized she had gotten so much detailed knowledge already.He began to speak, his voice barely above a whisper as he tried to pacify her. “Evelyn, I-“He took a step closer to her, trying to close the gap between them but Evelyn already took a step back, and Alex swiftly matched her movement, his hand extending pro

He nodded slightly, with a hint of smile playing at the corner of his lips. “Trust me, it is funny,” he said, walking over to the couch at the center of the room and taking a seat. Her eyes narrowed at him as she watched him seat. “It’s not funny, Alex. And what are you doing?” She asked, her tone laced with a mix of curiosity and annoyance.Annoyed because her mother has been able to play her smart. And curious why Alex was sitting down, when he was supposed to be looking for a way to get them out of this mess her mother had put them in. He decided to tease her as a mischievous glint began to spread across his face. “I’m staying, why?” He asked, feigning an innocent look.For a moment, Evelyn’s gaze locked onto his, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. For a moment, Evelyn locked gaze with him, with an unbelievable look before saying, “What do you mean, why? You know you can’t stay here, right? This is my room, and you have to look for a way to get out of here, Alex,” she
