บททั้งหมดของ Betrayed By The Billionaire: บทที่ 271 - บทที่ 280

Chloe Bishop stepped inside with a dark expression. Madam Bishop asked with concern what was wrong, but she just shook her head—she didn't want to talk about it.They didn't have to wait long. The old couple packed quickly and came out looking crisp and ready. Tina also climbed into the car.Yasmine Jones, having nothing better to do, wanted to join them too—but Arthur Bennett stopped her. Their visit to the Grayson Residence wasn't just a social call. She would only cause trouble.Chloe Bishop remained subdued throughout the ride.If Nicholas Taylor divorced Nora Fatehi, what would happen to Joy?Joy was a Taylor family bloodline. Nicholas Taylor would never let Nora Fatehi take her away. And the Fatehi family's circumstances were far inferior to the Taylor family's. In a divorce like that, Nora Fatehi would leave with nothing.Even though Chloe Bishop had never had a child, she knew that any mother would be shattered by being separated from her child.If Nicholas Taylor remarried and

But if the Young Lord did get angry...Nanny still hesitated. But then he remembered Chloe Bishop's breakdown that day. In the end, he nodded and agreed.Truth be told, he also wanted to get to the bottom of it—why the basement kept producing those strange sounds.Chloe Bishop had a servant take Adrian Grayson back to his room. Before he left, she slipped the talisman into his hand and said, "Adrian, this is very important to me. Can you keep it safe for me?"She wasn't afraid of many things—except the possibility that something truly uncontrollable existed in this world. Whether what she'd experienced in the dungeon was an illusion or something real, she desperately needed an answer.Adrian Grayson nodded firmly.Nanny dismissed the other servants and brought only two trusted bodyguards with him. This had to be done discreetly—the fewer people who knew, the better, to avoid spreading panic.He led Chloe Bishop and her family into the basement. Madam Bishop stayed behind with the child

Lady Bishop was equally worried. "You're right. Let's not say anything for now. We'll decide once we're certain."Old Mr. Bishop nodded.She brewed him a cup of medicinal tea. He drank it, then stood up. "Let's go see Chloe."She followed him to Chloe Bishop's room.By now, Chloe Bishop had calmed down. Aside from the fright, her body felt fine—her mind was clear.When the elders entered, she called out softly, "Grandfather, Grandmother."Old Mr. Bishop sat beside her bed and felt her forehead. Her temperature was normal. "How do you feel? Any discomfort?"She shook her head. "No."Other than a slight pallor, she seemed fine."Are you scared, Chloe?" he asked with a gentle smile.She didn't answer right away. That image from the elevator wouldn't leave her mind.But this time, she'd seen it more clearly than in the dungeon.Yes, that terrifying thing was real. But this time, she was certain it was a person—because it had a shadow. Unfortunately, before she could investigate further, sh

Xavier Grayson dabbed his lips gracefully with a napkin, then said calmly, "Give the order—everyone assembles immediately. Have the servants search the basement, and send the entire security team down there as well."The Young Lord was going to investigate the basement thoroughly?Nanny was astonished. His master had never believed in such things—and yet, for the young mistress's sake, he'd relented.He finally breathed a sigh of relief and answered loudly, "Yes, Young Lord. I'll arrange it at once."An hour later, the search turned up nothing.Standing before dozens of people, Xavier Grayson held up the yellow talisman, his face dark. "From now on, I don't want to hear another word about ghosts in the basement. Or all of you can get out."He tore the talisman to shreds.Everyone kept their heads bowed, not daring to meet his eyes. Even Nanny didn't look up—the aura radiating from Xavier Grayson was too fierce.The Young Lord had gone to all this trouble to give the young mistress a wa

Nadia had already been exposed by Nora Fatehi once before—back then, it was only an attempted seduction, and Nicholas Taylor had stood by Nora Fatehi's side. But this time, she'd succeeded.A homewrecker who repeatedly broke up other people's families was naturally treated like a rat crossing the street—spat on by everyone.Nicholas Taylor was also taking a beating in the court of public opinion.The fallout would surely cause Taylor Corporation's stock to fluctuate and decline. Nicholas Taylor would have to do something to save his reputation.Chloe Bishop was deeply worried. Nicholas Taylor was probably scrambling to salvage his image right now. With public pressure mounting, if he still cared about his family at all, he'd turn back—and Nadia would become the scapegoat, vilified by everyone.But now, Nicholas Taylor must hate Nora Fatehi with a burning passion. And he'd only feel more pity for Nadia. Eventually, he'd turn the narrative against Nora Fatehi, flipping the situation comp
