All Chapters of The Billionaire's Detective: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

DANTENext morning.I was woken by the continuous beeping of my phone. I forcefully opened my eyes, dragging my phone from the table beside the bed where I had kept it.The photo that popped up had me closing my eyes and then opening them again. I needed to be sure I was seeing the right thing.I rushed into the bathroom to wash my face to be sure it wasn't my eyes that were deceiving me.With shaky hands, I picked up the phone, taking a proper look at the picture sent to me from an unknown source.The picture had the caption: "Here's the lady you're dying to have... you really think she'd change her lifestyle for an old hag like yourself? She'd choose young, vibrant men who could function well, unlike your old ass." My heart shattered into a thousand pieces as I stared at the picture of Rose hugging Conrad. It wasn't a regular hug; it was so intense that even a fool could tell it might have led somewhere. His hands were holding tightly to the tip of her dress, and his head was buried

DANTEJordan and I gasped the moment he said what he said."Wait... what do you mean?" Jordan asked, his eyes wide open."You heard me right. Why bother asking over and over again?" Logan questioned, his gaze fixed on Jordan.The fact that Jordan heard him right but still chose to ask made it seem like he was intentionally disrespecting him."You just said you don't want Mom; it kind of seems suspicious hearing this from you," Jordan said.Yeah, I also didn't expect this from him. Oh, maybe he only said it to make us feel better. But why would he do that?He didn't say anything further, his gaze not leaving Jordan for a moment, making the whole thing look suspicious."Don't just keep silent, Logan; what do you mean by you also don't want her here? Haven't you been fighting to make sure she returns? So what changed?" Jordan mocked."Just shut up; I never told you I no longer want her back. In fact, I didn't mean what I just said; don't take it seriously," Logan mumbled.I should have k

ROSEMy eyes widen the moment he says that.Wait, wasn't he being nice just now? I know he will never change."I'm not here for you, Logan. You better mind how you talk to me!" I warn strictly."You keep saying this every time you come around. If you are not cool with the way I talk, then you better stay at home. This is my father's house, remember?" he asks, rolling his eyes."That's enough, Logan. I've warned you countless times. You don't come here to insult my guest; you're pushing me to the wall," Dante tells him.He diverts his gaze to Dante."I'm not shocked about you supporting her. You are fond of it. There is no day you support me. All you do is support her, even when she's wrong," he quarrels."You know this isn't fair, Logan. I've been doing everything possible to make sure you don't embarrass her, and it's not good," Jordan says. I still wonder how I've managed to lower myself to the extent that even a 17-year-old talks to me any way he wants. It's kind of funny, but I'm

ROSEDante is the one driving the car. We couldn't take Arabella and Jordan with us because it wouldn't be nice to take them to the hospital to see my dad. I know Arabella might end up seeing something she's not supposed to see.The best way to avoid a problem is to leave her behind, though we don't leave her at Dante's place.I tell her I will take her to Chloe's place to stay for the meantime. Jordan insists on going with her, and Dante has no issues with it, so we have to drop them both at Chloe's.We drive into the hospital just behind the hospital's ambulance. It's the easiest way to locate my dad. A nurse walks by, and I call her to ask her a few questions.I ask about the old man who has been brought in a few hours ago. She tells me the direction of the room, and Dante and I leave. It's my first time visiting this hospital, so I have to ask questions along the way before I can locate his ward.A nurse quickly rushes towards us as soon as she sees us come in."Miss Rose, right?

ARABELLADante goes home after we leave the hospital. He promises to help me drop Arabella off. It seems like my uncle is reading my mind because he calls when I'm at the hospital. He calls right after I say something about going to visit them.I look around the compound, and the only thing I can remember is sad memories—memories of the traumatic past I have. Memories of how they treat me like I'm nothing. I promise myself not to return here, but at this point, I can't say no to my uncle. I need to sit and let him judge me so I can defend myself."You are here," Danny says, rushing outside to meet me. He's my cousin, the same one Maria has lied to Conrald about. Growing up, we use to be very close, but because of a dispute, we all have to go our separate ways.Dad warns Marie and me to avoid them in every way we can. I'm pained. On many occasions, we cross paths and act like strangers. I always get the urge to call out to him, hug him like I use to while growing up. But I can't; the l
