All Chapters of Betrayed By The Billionaire: Chapter 991 - Chapter 1000

Liam's expression was grave. "Boss, let me go down instead. If Simon is down there, I'll bring him to you."He didn't want Xavier Grayson to suffer through this.Though those scorpions weren't highly venomous, a sting near an artery would amplify the poison — and the pain would be unbearable, enough to make a man wish for death.But Xavier Grayson thought of Chloe Bishop's pale, fragile face. "I want to get back as soon as possible," he told Liam. "And I'm not going back empty-handed."With that, he snatched the fire-starter from Liam's hand and stepped into the entrance without hesitation.When Xavier Grayson and Liam finally emerged from the cave, their bodies were covered in stings. Cold sweat beaded on their foreheads from the searing pain.But the sight before them made it all worth it.Spread out before them was a vast field of medicinal herbs — many in full bloom, their colors and shapes swaying gently in the breeze.In the center of the herb garden stood a simple wooden cabin.

Simon said, "I'm conducting an experiment and need a red snake gall. You'll go to the swamp lands for me and bring back that snake."Liam's face changed instantly. "Absolutely not. That's far too dangerous. The red snake is highly venomous, and it lives among other poisonous snakes in the swamp. Your request is unreasonable."The red snake, also known as the fire snake, was entirely crimson, extremely rare, and deadly — its bite was incurable.Simon smiled at Xavier Grayson. "If it's too much for you, then leave. I'll find the red snake gall myself. Some people go on and on about American medicine and legacy — but do they truly understand what legacy means?"Liam stood up. "I'll go."Simon pointed at Xavier Grayson. "I want him."Fury burned in Liam's chest. He drew his gun and aimed it at Simon. "Let me tell you something — because of you, the boss and I are covered in injuries. We don't have time for your little adventure games. If you're not coming with us today, I'll tie you up an

Until this very moment, Xavier Grayson finally realized that what he wanted was actually that simple.One woman. That was all it took to satisfy his relentless ambition.Chloe Bishop felt her cheeks burn under his gaze. "Tell me about Simon and his wife," she said.Xavier Grayson paused for a moment before replying, "Mrs. Pegg is particularly fond of handsome men. She especially likes the clean-cut, pretty type—like Liam.""..."Chloe Bishop was taken aback, but after a moment she added, "Liam does have that fresh, appealing look—young and easy on the eyes. I can see why people would like him."The air around Xavier Grayson turned icy cold in an instant. His eyes narrowed dangerously. "What did you say?"Fresh and appealing? Young and easy on the eyes? People would like him?Young. Appealing. Like him?He had no idea Chloe Bishop was into that type!Chloe Bishop blinked, then noticed the sour look on his face. Realizing she had unintentionally thrown Liam under the bus, she quickly ex

"The matchmaking banquet."Xavier Grayson stepped forward, each word striking like a hammer.Chloe Bishop stammered, "Th-That was... so many years ago."Xavier Grayson was overbearing, his entire presence radiating a you'd-better-explain-this-properly energy.Chloe Bishop couldn't help but step back. Her red lips, as always, remained sharp-tongued. "I was young back then. My eyes hadn't fully developed yet, alright?"Xavier Grayson leaned down, bracing his hands on the counter on either side of her, and asked word by word, "If you had to choose again—Liam Martin or me—who would you pick?"Staring at his chiseled face right in front of her, Chloe Bishop barely dared to breathe, let alone meet his piercing gaze.But she said, "Neither.""Hm?" Xavier Grayson was not satisfied with that answer.Chloe Bishop explained calmly, "If I could turn back time, I would make myself stronger—strong enough that I wouldn't need to look up to anyone. That way, I could stand before you with my head held

If he dared to flip the table in front of her father and grandparents, then whatever was going on between them would truly be over.Just then, a warm hand covered hers beneath the table. Xavier Grayson gently patted the back of her hand, silently reassuring her: Chloe, trust me.Chloe Bishop's anxious heart immediately settled.Then she heard Xavier Grayson say with effortless poise, "If Uncle doesn't mind, I can come here every day from now on—until the food meets your satisfaction."Charles Bishop immediately waved his hand. "One chance is all you get."Every day? Dream on.Did he take him for a fool? Letting him come over every day to court his precious daughter right under his nose?Not a chance."Dad—"Chloe Bishop started to speak, but Xavier Grayson stopped her.He curled the corner of his mouth into a stiff, humorless smile and turned to Shawn. "Elder Bishop, I'm currently helping Simon look for a property. I was wondering—where would be the best location to buy?"He could tol
