《Betrayed By The Billionaire》全部章節：第 241 章 - 第 250 章

Madam Bishop never expected Xavier Grayson to show up at this moment—especially with Seth Rollins still in Chloe Bishop's room.Fortunately, she was well-versed in navigating social situations and quickly composed herself.Xavier Grayson nodded in greeting to Madam Bishop and Lady Rollins, his sharp gaze sweeping through the Bishop Villa.Nanny quickly stepped in with a smile. "Our young lord was worried about the young mistress and set aside his work to come see her. Where is she now?"Madam Bishop replied, "Chloe is resting upstairs. Please, have a seat and some tea—I'll go wake her."Xavier Grayson said, "No need. I'll go up myself."With that, he strode up the stairs. Nanny, concerned, followed behind.Madam Bishop looked anxiously at Lady Rollins. "Xavier is cold and suspicious by nature. I'm afraid..."Lady Rollins smiled, calm and confident. "Don't worry. I trust Seth. He would never do anything improper toward Chloe."In truth, Seth Rollins had known the moment Xavier Grayson e

After Madam Bishop left, Chloe Bishop pulled out the talisman. When she realized it was a spirit-repelling charm, fear flickered in her eyes—then turned to confusion.She didn't want to go back to the Grayson Residence. That place had become her nightmare.And after Xavier Grayson's merciless treatment, she simply couldn't pretend nothing had happened—couldn't bring herself to keep appeasing him and sleeping beside him.But how could she end this marriage?A wave of regret washed over her. She should have taken the chance to leave when Xavier Grayson gave her the choice back in her father's office. But she hadn't had the courage.Madam Bishop had assumed Xavier Grayson had already left. But when she came downstairs, there he was—sitting in the living room, his overwhelming presence impossible to ignore.Even Nanny was surprised. His young lord had stormed down in a fury but hadn't slammed the door and left. Instead, he'd paused in the living room for a few seconds before taking a seat

A moment later, he pulled back. Looking at the woman beneath him, a storm churned inside him, refusing to settle.He had kissed her—voluntarily.Chloe Bishop blinked, her vacant gaze slowly focusing on Xavier Grayson's face. Her voice was calm, yet it carried an undercurrent of bitter tears. "Go on—why'd you stop? Isn't forcing yourself on me your specialty? Come on, then.""Enough, Chloe Bishop."He released her. The shame and irritation burning inside him were known only to himself."What's wrong? Think I'm dirty? Don't worry—I don't know how many men I'll have in the future, but at least for now, this body is still clean. No one but you.""Chloe Bishop."He finally lost patience and grabbed her by the throat, his voice a low growl. "Don't push me.""Why can't you hear what I'm saying? Isn't this the vain, greedy Chloe Bishop you see?"Her face was as white as paper, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at him. "What have you ever done besides bully me, misunderstand me, and hurt me over

After lunch, Chloe Bishop went to Charles Bishop's room. She took his hand, gazed at his peaceful sleeping face, and couldn't help saying, "Dad, how much longer are you going to sleep? Why won't you wake up?"She thought back to Charles Bishop's stern teachings when she was young, and her eyes grew damp. "Dad, I regret not listening to you. If I could turn back time, I would have been a daughter you could be proud of."If time could be rewound, she would never have let herself live so pathetically.In the past, Chloe Bishop had clung to Liam Martin—convinced that as long as he was there, she didn't need to learn anything. She could stay home, bear his children, and he would be her warmest, safest harbor.Later, she learned that the only people she could unconditionally rely on were her loving parents—and herself.Look at Nora Fatehi. Nicholas Taylor had been crazily in love with her once, marrying her against his family's wishes. When his mother disapproved, he moved out with Nora Fate

The servants had already prepared dinner. Nanny brought Adrian Grayson out to wash his hands, and soon the two of them sat facing each other at the table.Neither of them looked pleased.Xavier Grayson frowned at Adrian Grayson. "Why aren't you eating? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"The little boy pulled a long face and glared at him resentfully.Xavier Grayson said, "Don't glare at me. If you're upset, say it."Of course, Adrian Grayson couldn't say anything. Huffily, he grabbed his writing board and scrawled a line: "You chased Chloe away again."Xavier Grayson replied, "Tomorrow is Lily Bishop's full-month banquet. You can go. Chloe Bishop will come back with you.""Really?""Yes. Now eat."Kids were easy to placate.After dinner, Xavier Grayson gave Adrian Grayson a bath. It had been a while since he'd done it—ever since Chloe Bishop arrived, she'd taken over. Men were naturally less gentle and attentive than women, which had earned Xavier Grayson the little one's disdain.
