Alle Kapitel von Betrayed By The Billionaire: Kapitel 231 – Kapitel 240

In a sudden, clumsy motion, Yvonne Blue seemed to lose her balance and tumbled from the passenger seat of the SUV. The impact with the gravel forced a sharp cry from her lips, her "broken" leg twisting painfully beneath her.Arthur Vance reacted instantly, his heart lurching as he scooped her back into his arms. His face was a mask of frantic worry. "You’re already badly hurt! Why can't you just stay still in the car?"Yvonne looked up at him, her eyes brimming with unshed tears and a heartbreaking, selfless devotion. "I don't want to see you and Julian turn against each other because of me. I never wanted to be the sinner who destroyed your family. It... it was my own fault. I tripped on that balcony. It had nothing to do with Sarah."She reached up, her trembling fingers tracing the line of Arthur’s jaw with a lingering, tragic affection. A single tear tracked down her pale cheek before she pulled her hand away, her voice a mere whisper. "Go back, Arthur. Go to her. Apologize to Sar

The neon lights of the Blue Velvet Lounge pulsed in rhythmic waves of sapphire and violet. Chloe Bishop felt the liquid fire of the whiskey burning down her throat, a welcome distraction from the cold, suffocating cage of the Grayson Estate.If I don't go back, I don't go back, she thought, her eyes flashing with a rebellious glint. To hell with Xavier Grayson. To hell with his rules and his icy ultimatums. Tonight, the only thing that matters is the bottom of this glass.Since they had arrived early, the bar was relatively quiet, but the elite atmosphere was already setting in. Sarah Vance was sitting across from her, a silent, tragic figure. She didn't speak; she simply drained one glass after another, her eyes hollow. Chloe didn't try to stop her. In this world of high-society betrayals, sometimes silence and alcohol were the only honest companions left.Donovan Tang and Julian Vance sat flanking them like twin pillars of granite. Their presence ensured a perimeter of absolute safe

The Blue Velvet Lounge was now a chaotic blend of flashing strobes and weeping socialites. Julian Vance and Donovan Tang exchanged a look of pure exhaustion; they had survived literal battlefields, but three intoxicated, heartbroken women were a different kind of warfare."Sarah, come on. I'm taking you home," Julian said, firmly pulling Sarah Vance to her feet.At the same time, Donovan stepped toward Chloe Bishop. Without a word, he swept her into his arms, his movements powerful and steady. He ignored the gasps of the onlookers and strode toward the exit.Julian’s face darkened, but he didn't stop him. He knew Donovan’s protection was absolute.Liam Martin moved to intercept them, but he stopped short when he saw Vince—the Demon CEO’s shadow—stepping into Donovan’s path. Liam knew the Grayson security detail; getting involved now would be professional suicide. He watched from the periphery, his hands clenched into fists.The Standoff of ShadowsDonovan looked at the man blocking hi

Donovan Tang didn't move. He stood by the ancient bonsai, his presence as unyielding as the wood itself. The sweep of the headlights against the curtains signaled the arrival of a predator, but in this house, Donovan was the one who held the memories—and the scars."Don't worry, Madam Bishop," Donovan said, his voice dropping into a deep, comforting baritone. "I'll handle this. It’s likely someone from the Grayson Estate."Madam Bishop’s face paled slightly. She knew the weight the Grayson name carried in Haicheng, and she knew the "Demon CEO" was not a man to be trifled with. "Donovan, please... let's not have a scene. Chloe is already so stressed.""There won't be a scene," Donovan promised, though the cold glint in his eyes suggested a different kind of confrontation. "But I won't let them take her back like a piece of reclaimed property while she’s in this state."The Gatekeeper’s StandOutside, the gravel crunched under the tires of the sleek black sedan. Vince stepped out, his f

"You’re so loud! Get out! Get out, all of you!"Chloe Bishop suddenly snapped, her eyes flashing with a sharp, imperious glare as she pointed toward the door. The household staff froze. In that moment, her expression, her tone, even the oppressive weight of her aura, was a perfect, terrifying mirror of Xavier Grayson.When the maids and Vince hesitated, Chloe didn't waste words. She snatched a crystal glass from the side table and hurled it at their feet. Smash! Shards of glass sprayed across the marble. "I said, GET OUT!"Vince jumped, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest. He stole a glance at Xavier—who was currently being pinned to the sofa by his wife—and saw the dark storm brewing in the President's eyes. He quickly signaled to the maids, and the three of them beat a hasty retreat, closing the heavy double doors behind them.The room fell into a sudden, heavy silence, leaving only Chloe straddled across Xavier's lap.As quickly as the fury had come, it vanished. Chloe soften
