Lahat ng Kabanata ng Betrayed By The Billionaire: Kabanata 411 - Kabanata 420

She remembered the wound on his arm. "You have a fever?"His wound had torn open yesterday, and she'd tended to it. A whole day without food or water, and no fresh dressing—of course he'd run a fever.Xavier Grayson's gaze was cold enough to freeze her solid. "I said get out."She could feel how fiercely he rejected anyone coming near him right now—like a wounded hedgehog, lashing out at whoever drew close. He only wanted to lick his wounds in solitude, shutting her out completely.But he had a fever. She couldn't just leave him.Acting as if she hadn't heard him, she said, "I'll get the medicine."Soon, she returned with the medical kit. Ignoring his fury and the menace in his face, she calmly measured out the medication and poured a glass of water.Xavier Grayson's expression was dark and forbidding. "Take it away. I'm not taking it."Chloe Bishop snapped, "Xavier Grayson, no matter how much you're hurting, you can't mess with your own health. You have a fever, and you're going to ta

This woman—she was secretly investigating him!Chloe Bishop's heart skipped a beat. "Is something wrong?""Nothing. Just spam."Xavier Grayson looked away. His fingers flew across the phone screen as he typed out a quick reply, then set the device aside and turned his gaze back to her. "You said last night you had something urgent to discuss?"Chloe Bishop—I hope you don't disappoint me.His reminder brought Marcus Martin back to the forefront of her mind. She had no choice but to set the DNA matter aside for now. "Yes. I'd like to ask you to send some people to protect my parents.""Has something happened?"She hesitated, then explained, "Do you know Marcus Martin? He's escaped from prison."Xavier Grayson watched her in silence, waiting for her to continue."Marcus Martin is Liam Martin's uncle. My father crossed him before because of Liam Martin, and that man has always been ruthless and vindictive. I'm worried he'll come after my family for revenge."Her hands clenched into fists a

She wanted to ask him directly too—whether Sara Jay had anything to do with him.Chloe Bishop clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. "Fine. Then I'll ask you now—when my father had his car accident, were you in that car? Why did you flee? And when we met at Bishop Villa, why did you pretend not to know me, as if nothing had ever happened?"Xavier Grayson remembered that scene—Chloe Bishop in her wedding dress, crouching in the middle of the road, holding Charles Bishop's body as she sobbed in despair. His heart turned to stone as he answered, "You've lost the right to ask. I won't tell you anything."She pressed on stubbornly. "Did you bring Sara Jay back?""I said, you no longer have the right to question me.""Then what do you expect me to do? When Hank Grayson told me, I didn't believe it. But everything turned out exactly as he said. You let me down. And yet I still stood by you, constantly reassuring myself that Xavier Grayson isn't that kind of person."She fo

Meanwhile, the shareholders kept calling—demanding answers and insisting that the mother and daughter come to the company for an emergency meeting to discuss a solution.Both of them knew: if they couldn't get Xavier Grayson to come back, control of the company would fall into someone else's hands.Madam Bishop's brow was deeply furrowed. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer. "Chloe, what exactly is Xavier Grayson thinking? Are you two going to get a divorce?"Chloe Bishop's chest tightened. "I don't know."Divorce?Maybe."Then do you want to go back?" Madam Bishop asked again.Did she want to go back?She thought of Xavier Grayson's cold, distant demeanor that morning. Each stab of pain in her chest reminded her of one thing—she'd developed feelings she shouldn't have.She'd warned herself long ago not to fall for him. Yet she couldn't help caring about him, worrying about how he felt.Piece by piece, her heart was slipping away.And that was not a good thing."Chloe, answer me

Liam Martin stood outside the iron gate for a long time. His past with Chloe Bishop played through his mind like scenes from a movie—one after another—and the ache in his chest only grew sharper.The bodyguards around him had never seen their boss so defeated.In their eyes, Liam Martin had always been refined as jade, wise and composed, a man of great vision.But the man before them now was shrouded in loneliness—completely consumed by it.Much later, Chloe Bishop received a message from him: "I'm heading back to the office. I'll come see you again tomorrow. If you need to go out, take Tyler Jones with you. Don't gamble with your own life or your mother's."Liam Martin left—but the bodyguards outside stayed.She didn't invite them in, so they remained stationed at the Bishop family gates. They wouldn't leave no matter what, so she stopped paying them any attention.By evening, Madam Bishop returned home. Her expression was relatively calm, which told Chloe Bishop she'd managed to conv
