Semua Bab PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE : Bab 131 - Bab 140

The black luxury car pulled up near a high-end commercial street lined with luxury boutiques. Victoria adjusted her expensive coat and looked over at her sister."I will drop you off here, Cynthia," Victoria said, smoothing her hair. "I think I will go spend my morning at the luxury spa down the road. You can call the driver to pick me up whenever you are finished with your meeting.""That is a good idea," Cynthia replied, her voice cold and completely focused. "Go relax at the spa, Victoria. This conversation with Catherine Vane requires my full attention. I do not need any distractions."Victoria nodded, stepping out of the car. Cynthia watched her walk toward the grand glass doors of the spa before she turned to the driver. "Take me to the old Vane estate. Drive quickly."Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a pair of massive, towering iron gates. The Vane estate was legendary in the city. The grounds were enormous, filled with perfectly trimmed green gardens and ancient

The heavy glass doors of Carnegie Shipping’s executive floor rattled slightly as Julian Vane walked out of the main conference room. His dark blazer was unbuttoned, his silk tie loosened just a fraction at his collar, and a faint line of exhaustion was carved between his eyebrows.Taking over an entire rival shipping empire was no easy task. Because he had insisted that Elena stay home and rest after the intense ordeal with Mark, Julian had taken the entire workload onto his own shoulders. Running Vane Enterprises was already a massive, full-time job. Managing the chaotic transition of Carnegie Shipping on top of it was pushing even his stamina to its absolute limits.Marcus walked half a step behind him, holding an iPad and a stack of urgent legal folders. "The legal team has cleared the remaining transport contracts, Mr. Vane," Marcus reported smoothly. "However, the head of logistics at the eastern port is requesting your signature before five o'clock." "I’ll sign it when we ge

Cynthia stared out the window of the luxury car, her heart pounding with a mixture of anger and desperation. Her first visit to Catherine Vane had been an absolute disaster, but she refused to accept defeat. The Aldridge family was falling apart, the banks were threatening to seize their assets, and Julian Vane was her only way out. "Cynthia, you need to calm down before we get there," Victoria said softly, sitting beside her in the plush leather seat. They had just left the spa, and Victoria was holding a silk shopping bag from an elite antique boutique downtown. "If you walk into Catherine’s house looking like you want to pick a fight, she will just throw you out again." "I am not trying to pick a fight!" Cynthia snapped, though her trembling hands betrayed her nerves. "I am trying to claim what is rightfully mine! That family owes us!" "I know, I know," Victoria soothed, placing a comforting hand on her sister’s arm. "That is why we bought this antique tea set. Remember how muc

Elena’s POV "I am telling you, Chloe, I was only enthusiastic for the first five days," I said, stirring my iced latte with a straw. "And that was purely because I wanted to shove my new title right into the faces of those arrogant Carnegie executives who looked down on my mother for years."Chloe burst into laughter, leaning back against the plush velvet booth of the cafe. "So you're telling me you don't want to sit in a giant leather chair, signing billion-dollar shipping contracts every morning?" "It is exhausting!" I laughed, shaking my head. "The files are endless. The meetings are boring. Julian makes it look so easy, but I honestly do not think I am built to run a massive corporation long-term. It is way too much hard work." "Must be nice," Chloe teased, rolling her eyes with a dramatic sigh. "I wish I had that kind of stress in my life. Look at you, you're a whole CEO, you have a gorgeous, powerful billionaire taking care of your business, and you get to go home to a hands

The afternoon sun was beginning to dip behind the tall glass skyscrapers of the financial district as the black car pulled up to the grand entrance of Vane Enterprises.Elena sat in the back seat, holding her new caramel leather bag in her lap. Her mind was still spinning from everything she had learned at Saint Jude’s Academy. Beside her, Chloe was looking out the window with a serious expression, while four-year-old Leo sat between them, his small feet dangling over the edge of the seat as he played with a plastic toy train."Are you sure you want to go straight to his office?" Chloe asked softly, turning to look at Elena. "You look really stressed.""I have to," Elena replied, her voice firm despite the nervous flutter in her chest. "Julian told me yesterday that everything was under control. But he completely hid the fact that this Aldridge family was trying to get close to Leo at his school. I can't just pretend I didn't hear the nanny or the women in the store.""I hear you," C
