All Chapters of The Poor Billionaire Heiress Returns!: Chapter 71 - Chapter 78

•GISELLE•Noah: “How smart of you to send your lapdog to fight your battles. I won’t sign those papers, and you’d better tell him that before he comes back to my house and attacks me. For your sake, I won’t open a case against him.”The front door swung open after reading Noah’s text, and I slammed the cellphone on the couch as I turned to him.“What’s wrong with you, Connor?” I snapped. “I told you not to go to Noah’s house.”“I’ll take a shower and rest. It’s been a long day.” He dropped his car keys onto the vase in the hallway and walked past me.“If you want this to work, you must learn to control your emotions because I won’t lose my kids because of you. Noah could win the case if he told the court that you attacked him in his house.”He stopped in his tracks, sighed, and slowly turned around to face me. He had a cut on the side of his mouth and looked tired.A part of me was happy for how he took control to defend me, but I never thought he would go too far. He was supposed to

•OCTAVIA•I was pacing up and down the bedroom, and my phone was glued to my hand, waiting for Noah to pick up.He’d been gone all day, and now it was past ten. Not a single text, not a single call. I was worried sick, thinking he was spending the night with another woman, doing everything he was doing in bed with me.I hit the call button again for the fourth time in thirty minutes, and just as I was about to give up, the door creaked open.Noah walked in, still wearing the same clothes from the night before.“Where are you coming from, Noah?” I snapped, slamming my phone onto the bed. “How could you ignore my calls all day and show up now?”He didn’t answer. Just gave me one cold look and headed straight for the bathroom.I fumed and followed him, grabbing his shirt and yanking him back. “Don’t you dare walk away when I’m talking to you!”He turned slowly, his eyes dark and tired. “What do you want, Octavia? Haven’t you done enough? You separated me from the mother of my children, a

•CONNOR•“Dr. Crowe, thank you for saving my daughter’s life. She has been suffering from kidney stones for almost a year, but we didn’t know. We couldn’t afford to get her tested,” the woman sobbed, falling to her knees in front of me.I found her waiting for me in the waiting room when I returned from her daughter’s successful operation. I’d covered all the costs myself.When she first came in, clutching her daughter and begging us to save her, my heart broke. And when she told me she had no money for treatment, I didn’t even think twice before covering the bill.“It’s okay, Miss Shannon,” I replied as I extended my hand and helped her up. “Your daughter will stay overnight so we can make sure she’s stable and responding to the meds. You should go home and rest. It’s been a long day.”“Thank you so much, doctor. You can keep her for as long as you have to, just as long as my little girl comes home healthy. Nyeri is all I have, and I don’t want to lose her. I was scared to death when

•NOAH•“Please, I need to see her one more time and apologize for everything that has happened. Connor, please,” I begged, swallowing my pride because I couldn’t bear the pain I felt in my heart.When Vince gave me proof about what my grandfather said about Octavia, I needed to apologize to Giselle for not trusting her.“You’re not allowed in here, Noah. You’re the reason Giselle is on that bed, and I won’t let you hurt her anymore.”“Do you think I would’ve done anything to jeopardize her life?” I seethed. “She’s the mother of my children, and I wouldn’t have—”“Have you forgotten that you wanted to get her arrested?” Connor reminded me, leaning closer. “You were siding with your new wife and ordered Giselle to apologize to Octavia for something she didn’t do.”My heart ached when he reminded me of that. I was already feeling bad that I had let so many things slide while Octavia was playing in my face.“Fine,” I sighed as I looked at the security guards who were ordered to take me aw
