All Chapters of Betrayed By The Billionaire: Chapter 311 - Chapter 320

By the time Xavier Grayson realized what was happening, Chloe Bishop had already tied the apron around him. Looking down at the cute cartoon print, his expression turned sour. "Didn't you hear what I said?"She looked up at him with wide, sparkling eyes, all innocence. "I'm so tired. I don't want to cook."Xavier Grayson: "..."When he emerged from the kitchen with the finished dishes, he saw Chloe Bishop and Adrian Grayson huddled together on the sofa, snacking on fruit and watching a movie with rapt attention.He thought to himself—he must have lost his mind to let her get away with that pitiful act.Suddenly, a bright flash lit up the room.His face turned to ice. His gaze shot toward Chloe Bishop like a frozen arrow. "What are you doing?"She froze, her mouth slightly open, looking a bit foolish.She'd tried to snap a photo of him in that cartoon apron, carrying the dishes, so she could mock him to her friends—but she'd forgotten to turn off the flash...She knew when to back down.

Unfortunately, before she'd had time to see clearly, she'd been knocked unconscious from behind.The bodyguard who'd struck her was one of Nanny's regular men.Over the past two days, she'd been quietly observing the bodyguard, Nanny, and Nanny—but she hadn't noticed anything unusual. None of them had behaved strangely, and they didn't seem to interact privately.She'd heard that the "strange phenomena" in the basement had been going on for a long time—ever since the house was built. Nanny had even installed surveillance cameras, but nothing had ever been captured.Xavier Grayson believed the "strange sounds" were just distortions of sound waves caused by changes in the air—nothing more than servants overreacting.But Chloe Bishop had seen something. Twice.Now, every time she closed her eyes, that blood-soaked face appeared. It haunted her dreams, and the room felt filled with eerie shadows.She took a deep breath and left her room.Xavier Grayson looked up at the sound of her footste

Standing inside the cell, separated by iron bars, Chloe Bishop looked at Xavier Grayson on the other side and felt a pang of sorrow for herself. Even now, she still felt trapped in this dungeon—swallowing her pride, powerless to change her fate.Xavier Grayson watched her in silence, his expression unreadable.After a moment, she stepped out of the cell, walked past him, and entered the elevator. "Let's go back. After tonight, I won't mention it again."Neither spoke on the way up.She didn't return to the master bedroom. Instead, she went into the room across the hall and locked the door. That night, Xavier Grayson didn't come knocking.In the dead of night, a slender figure slipped out of the master bedroom. Barefoot and silent, she made her way into the basement, her feet touching the cold floor with each noiseless step.The basement was dimly lit. Chloe Bishop held a flashlight in her hand, but this time, she didn't turn it on.The silence was absolute—even breathing felt loud. She

"Unexpectedly, the child was resilient—she survived."Nanny recalled that moment. "I really wanted to bury her. But she was a living soul. I just couldn't do it. But the second master wouldn't let her live—I couldn't take her back. So I sent her to my hometown, and my mother raised her.""Did Xavier Grayson's mother know?" Chloe Bishop asked.Nanny shook her head. "I wanted to tell her, but she didn't even know whether the child was the second master's. So I kept it from her. I thought... letting them believe the child was dead might be for the best."Was Xavier Grayson's birth mother, Lana Rose, truly as promiscuous as people said?Chloe Bishop pressed further, "Why didn't you do a DNA test?"Nanny sighed. "I had little education. I didn't know anything about DNA back then. And I was too afraid to speak of it to anyone. So it just got put off all this time."Even now, Nanny still didn't know whether Rick was truly Lucian Grayson's daughter."Then why didn't you tell Xavier Grayson?""

Xavier Grayson set down the file. "Mr. Taylor, you may not know this, but our company is currently developing a similar project. Your proposal doesn't offer anything that stands out."Nicholas Taylor smiled. "Mr. Grayson, if you really had a similar project, Grayson Corp would have announced it publicly by now, wouldn't it? Why wait for me to come knocking?"His implication was clear: if Grayson Corp had such a project, they'd have beaten everyone to market. Later imitators would always be seen as second-best. The fact that Xavier Grayson hadn't made any announcement meant there was no such project.Nicholas Taylor was certain of it. Xavier Grayson's words were just a tactic to pressure him into a lower profit share.Their gazes met across the room—sharp, calculating, locked in a battle of wits. An invisible tension filled the air, as if a single glance could decide the outcome.In the end, Nicholas Taylor yielded first. "The profit split is negotiable. Grayson Corp takes 60%, Taylor C
