Billionaire's Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Irene paced back and forth across the living room with her phone clutched in her hand, checking it every few seconds.But nothing was coming in. Damn, she hated feeling this anxious and she was this way because she made the mistake of hiring a dimwit to carry out a job for her.She grabbed the remote and flipped through channels with her leg bouncing anxiously as she waited for some kind of update, anything to prove that Mrs. Dennis was finally dead.The evening news came on and Irene was about to change the channel when a breaking news banner flashed across the screen."Breaking news from Memorial Hospital where police have arrested a man attempting to gain access to a patient Mrs. Linda Dennis, who is recovering from a severe car accident earlier this week. The suspect was apprehended by the police after Mrs. Dennis's son arrived for a visit and witnessed the man in his mother's room dressed in a doctor's uniform but the son of Mrs Dennis said he knew all the doctors attending to hi

Adrian had been discharged from the hospital three days ago and Claire could see the relief on his face every time he woke up in his own bed instead of that sterile hospital room.He had always hated hospitals and she could understand because she hated hospitals too."Mama, can we go shopping today?" Adrian asked over breakfast, his energy finally returning after being sick.Claire smiled because this was the most animated she'd seen him in weeks. "Okay. Let's go shopping, probably get you some new gadgets for your tech."Adrian squealed with laughter as he dashed off to get ready and Claire watched him go with warmth spreading through her chest because he had always liked anything tech, never getting tired of exploring whatever had to do with technology.An hour later, they were at the upscale electronics store in the mall and Adrian was running from display to display with his eyes wide as he looked at tablets, coding kits, robotics sets."Mama, look at this one! It can build twelve

Claire walked into the Andersons Corporation boardroom at eight AM with Solomon beside her and a folder of documents in her hand. The entire board was already assembled, confusion written on their faces because the emergency meeting had been called with less than twelve hours notice. Jeff was sitting at the far end of the table and his eyes locked on Claire the moment she entered. She could see the dark circles under his eyes and the tension in his jaw and knew he was hungover from last night but she felt no sympathy. Serves him right. "Good morning, everyone." Claire took her seat at the head of the table. "Ms. Clark, what's this about?" Richard Grey asked staring at her. "This is about protecting this company from further damage caused by reckless and unprofessional behavior by the CEO of this company." Claire said and stared directly at Jeff for a few minutes before opening a folder and pulled out a printed article. "I'm sure some of you have seen this morning's busines

The next morning, Irene woke up with a plan.She'd spent half the night thinking about Jeff's reaction to Amber Clark and the more she thought about it, the more convinced she became that there was something between them.Something more than just business.And Irene needed to know what it was because if Amber was a threat to her marriage, then Amber needed to be dealt with.Irene got dressed carefully, putting on her most expensive outfit and doing her makeup perfectly because she needed to look powerful for this confrontation.She drove to Sterling Solutions and walked into the building with her head held high.The receptionist looked up. "Can I help you?""I'm here to see Amber Clark." She replied, looking around the building."Do you have an appointment?""No, but she'll want to see me. Tell her Irene Anderson is here." She said sounding smug.The receptionist looked uncertain but picked up the phone.Irene didn't wait for permission and walked past the desk toward the executive of

Claire was on the phone when Jeff walked into her office without knocking."That sounds perfect, Paul. Yes, seven works for me." She looked up and her expression shifted to annoyance when she saw Jeff standing there. "I'll meet you there. Text me the address."She listened for a moment and a small smile softened her face. "I'm looking forward to it too. See you tonight."Claire ended the call and set her phone down carefully before looking at Jeff with raised eyebrows. "Did you forget how to knock?"Jeff closed the door behind him and walked towards Claire, "I just got an email from Sebastian Rollen's assistant."Claire's hand froze halfway to her keyboard and she stared at Jeff.Sebastian Rollen is an international business man and once they're able to partner with him, it would boost their company and increase its visibility in the international market."He's willing to partner with us." Jeff walked toward her desk and Claire found herself sitting straighter. "There's a catch. He'll
