All Chapters of Betrayed By The Billionaire: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Time passed — Chloe Bishop had no idea how long. Eventually, Xavier Grayson pushed her aside. She lay there like a soulless doll. Her lifeless demeanor displeased him. Without a trace of pity, he opened the door and stepped out of the car on his own. It took her a long time to gather herself. She fixed her appearance, composed her emotions, and finally got out. The moment she entered the living room, Nanny approached with a glass of milk, bowing respectfully. "Young madam." She stared at the milky liquid, took it without hesitation, and drained it in one go. Setting the empty glass back on the tray, she dragged her heavy steps upstairs, one by one. Xavier Grayson wasn't in the bedroom — he was in the study. She grabbed her pajamas, showered, and lay in bed, motionless. About ten minutes later, Xavier Grayson emerged from the study, standing over her. "Make me something to eat." She opened her red-rimmed eyes and looked at him for a long moment before parting her swollen lips.

At that moment, every move Chloe Bishop and Adrian Grayson made was within Xavier Grayson's view.When he saw her sitting on the floor, leaning against the sofa, diligently studying — his expression darkened.Hadn't he confiscated her books? Where did these come from?He could tell she was desperate to improve herself — and she was ignoring his words entirely.Watching the woman in the video take notes with such focus, his long fingers tapped lightly on the desk.How should he punish her?He pulled out his phone.Moments later, Nanny's voice came through. "Young Lord."Xavier Grayson's gaze stayed fixed on the screen. "Has the young madam eaten lunch?"Nanny understood immediately and began reporting on her condition. "The young madam has eaten, her fever has broken, and she's taken her medicine. She seems quite alert."Assuming Xavier was concerned, he added, "Rest assured, Young Lord — the young madam is fine now.""Is that so?"Xavier's lazy voice drifted through the phone. "Since s

A woman like that — why didn't his father divorce her?Even in prison, he refused to sign the divorce papers. Why?Xavier Grayson stared at the photo of the nearly fifty-year-old woman who still carried traces of her former beauty, and tore it into pieces, tossing them into the trash.Just then, Chloe Bishop's call came in.He glanced at the phone and answered. "What?"Was she finally begging for mercy?Chloe Bishop had been full of questions, ready to confront him. But the moment she heard his voice, she swallowed them all. Now was not the time to court disaster — pleasing him was the smarter move.She didn't mention Adrian Grayson. She didn't want to use him.So she asked, "What do you want for dinner?"His grip on the phone tightened. Lana Rose's face flashed through his mind. His voice was cold. "It's only four o'clock. Aren't you asking a bit early? Ask me again after the sun goes down."That meant — she had to stay in the yard until sunset.Without another word, he hung up.His g

Then she heard Xavier Grayson's cold voice. "What do you want to get up for? Stay in bed. Don't move."A woman who almost cooked herself alive just from standing in the sun — he'd never seen anyone so stupid. If she was feeling unwell, couldn't she have said something?She gripped the blanket. She could endure almost anything — but not this. "I need to use the bathroom."Nature's call couldn't be ignored.He pressed his thin lips together, his handsome face showing a hint of impatience. "Women are so troublesome."Chloe Bishop, "..."And men don't have this problem?Before she could react, he stepped forward, bent down, and lifted her straight out of bed.She gasped in surprise — caught off guard, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, her almond eyes wide with shock.Even sitting on the toilet, she couldn't quite believe it. Xavier Grayson — that demon — had carried her to the bathroom.When she came out, he lifted her again. This time, she lay against his solid chest, no

The moment Adrian Grayson spotted Chloe Bishop, he toddled over and clung to her, his little hand tugging at her skirt, his big black-and-white eyes gazing up at her pleadingly.She ruffled his hair and asked, "I'm going to an old lady's birthday banquet. Does Adrian want to come along?"He nodded eagerly, grabbed his drawing board, and wrote: "Chloe is sick. Adrian will protect Chloe."She remembered that when she was putting on makeup earlier, the little guy had run in, watched her for a bit, then scampered back out. He must have known she was going out and had changed into this outfit just for the occasion.How could she ever say no to such an adorable little pup?"Then we'll go together. The old lady will be so happy to see you."She thought of that kind elderly woman — at Adrian Grayson's birthday party, when Nadia and her mother had tried to ruin her reputation, the old lady had wanted to speak up for her but was cut off by Lady Grayson.That woman was Lady Rollins — Seth Rollins
