All Chapters of Betrayed By The Billionaire: Chapter 371 - Chapter 380

Chloe Bishop: "You look incredible. That bone structure is elite—if I tried that cut, I’d look like a disaster, but you own it."Aria Summer: "It’s perfect. It feels like the year we all first met. Welcome back, Sarah."It was true. Sarah Vance had been lost for years in the fog of a failing marriage, but as the long locks fell to the floor, she had finally found herself again. The physical weight of the hair was gone, and with it, the suffocating expectations of being the "perfect Vance wife."Aria Summer: "You guys should come find me. Let's travel the world together. I'll be your guide."Sarah Vance: "As if Justin would ever let you out of his sight long enough for that."Chloe Bishop: "Agreed."Lulu: "Double agreed."Aria Summer: "Please. I’m not married to him yet; I'm a free agent! If I want to go, he can't say a—#%%......&......"Lulu: "?"Chloe Bishop: "And... she’s been abducted by Justin."Lulu: "LOL. Guilty as charged."Chloe Bishop: "I’d love to travel the world right now.

Beyond the jewelry boutiques, the four friends also owned a high-end shooting range. It was a massive facility with diverse tactical projects, but because it had been born out of personal interest rather than profit-seeking, it had been poorly managed. It barely stayed afloat, a hobbyist's sanctuary rather than a business.Now, with her divorce finalized, Sarah had nothing but time. She decided to pour her strategic brilliance into Nightingale Jewelry and the shooting range. For the moment, she kept Maddy out of school to shield her from the gossip, bringing the little girl along as she worked. For a woman of Sarah’s caliber, managing a few boutiques was light work; it left her plenty of time to be the mother Maddy needed.At lunch, Sarah met with Chloe Bishop and Lulu to pitch a new strategy. "I want Aria to design a signature line specifically for the two of you to wear during the National Grand Prix," Sarah explained, her eyes sharp.If Chloe and Lulu could secure top rankings and

Sarah laughed, leaning back in her chair. "It’s a pity you’re likely still in university, Evan Thorne. Otherwise, I’d hire you as a full-time nanny for Maddy. Then again, with your skills in the 'Hacker Empire,' I probably couldn't afford your hourly rate."Evan blinked playfully, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Well, if we were to become family, I’d watch her for you every day. And I’d do it for free."Sarah took it as a joke, a typical bit of charm from a confident young man. She shook her head with a smile. "I’m afraid we don't have that kind of fate, Evan."However, Evan offered a cryptic, knowing smile. "You never know."He stood up, handing Maddy back to Sarah. He reached out and ruffled the little girl’s hair with genuine affection. "I have to head out. I'll come see you both again when I have time."Maddy’s bottom lip pouted instantly. She was clearly devastated to see her new "favorite person" leave.Sarah waved goodbye, but after taking a few steps, Evan turned back one la

"Julian, let me toast to your success," Nathaniel Vance said, raising his glass with a fawning smile.Julian Thorne’s lips curled into a polite, dangerous smile. "On the contrary, Uncle Nathaniel, it is I who should toast to you. After all, I owe so much to your—and Sarah’s—care all those years ago."His gaze flickered over Sarah, dark and unreadable, before he drained his glass.Sarah took a cautious sip of her wine, her instincts screaming that something was wrong. Throughout the meal, Nathaniel and his wife, Lydia, relentlessly pressed Julian to drink. Julian, seemingly unable to refuse the "hospitality" of his former guardians, obliged them repeatedly.Finally, Sarah couldn't stomach the display any longer. "Dad, I’m finished. I’m taking Maddy back to the hotel now."As she stood up, Nathaniel turned to Julian. "Julian, where are you staying?""Starlight Heights," Julian replied, his voice slightly raspier than before.Nathaniel beamed. "Perfect! Sarah is staying at the hotel righ

The moment Maddy saw Julian Thorne, her eyes lit up like stars. She scampered over to him, her voice filled with childhood wonder. "Uncle, you’re so handsome!"Sarah sighed, her daughter’s "pretty privilege" radar once again proving infallible. "Maddy! Come back here."Maddy looked like a porcelain doll in her pink dress, her hair in tiny braids and her face glowing with innocence. She was the perfect blend of Sarah’s elegance and Arthur Vance’s features.Julian looked down at the little girl. His hand reached out instinctively toward her soft cheek, but he froze mid-air, his fingers trembling slightly before he withdrew them. He shifted his gaze to Sarah, his voice like gravel. "She looks like you.""Everyone says so," Sarah replied with a tight smile. She set the breakfast containers on the sleek coffee table. "Have you eaten? I brought some things back for you."Julian glanced at the plastic takeout boxes, a sneer curling his lip. "You think food like that is fit for my palate?"Lo
