Betrayed By The Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 431 - チャプター 440

The fragile domestic peace at the Grayson Manor is once again under siege. Xavier Grayson is projecting an image of stoic control, but the underlying tension regarding his lineage is a ticking time bomb.After cleaning the wreckage of the library, Chloe Bishop finally collapsed into bed. She felt the dip in the mattress as Xavier joined her in the middle of the night, his body heat back to its normal, steady pulse.In the haze between wakefulness and sleep, she felt his strong arms pull her close. His voice, thick with a rare vulnerability, vibrated against her ear: "Chloe, don’t betray me."Drowsy and comforted by the familiarity of his embrace, she hummed softly and drifted into a deep, dreamless sleep.When she woke the next morning, the space beside her was cold. Xavier had been up for a while. Panicked that he had left for the office before she could warn him about Arthur Sr.'s prison break, Chloe scrambled out of bed and ran into the hallway barefoot.She skidded to a halt. Xavi

The thin veneer of domesticity didn't just crack—it shattered into a thousand jagged pieces. Xavier Grayson stood up, the chair screeching against the floor like a dying animal. The "Demon CEO" was gone; in his place stood a judge, jury, and executioner wrapped in an aura of lethal frost."Are you finished eating?" he asked, his voice devoid of any trace of the man who had fried eggs for her an hour ago. "Follow me downstairs. There is something we need to settle face-to-face."Chloe Bishop’s heart constricted. Her face went deathly pale as she followed his retreating back, her legs feeling like lead.The living room downstairs had been transformed into a cold, clinical interrogation chamber. Martha was kneeling on the floor, her arms wrapped tightly around a shivering Sissy. The young girl was trembling so violently that her teeth rattled, her eyes wide with a primal fear.Xavier sat on the sofa, a thousand-year-old glacier of resentment. Seeing Sissy there, Chloe felt as if she had

The disintegration of the Grayson-Bishop alliance is complete. What was once a strategic marriage of convenience and blooming emotion has now regressed into a cold, professional severance, leaving Chloe Bishop to face a collapsing business empire and a looming family threat entirely alone.Chloe Bishop didn't have many belongings at the Grayson Manor. It took the servants very little time to pack her life into a few suitcases and bring them down to the foyer.Blueberry had caught wind of the news and arrived back at the villa just in time to witness the fallout. She watched with predatory satisfaction as Chloe took her suitcase from the servant—a lonely, defeated figure dragging her past toward the exit."I told you," Blueberry whispered as Chloe brushed past her, her voice dripping with venomous triumph. "You mean absolutely nothing to him. It’s a pity, really—our little competition ended before it even truly began."Chloe’s footsteps faltered, but she didn't speak.She took a few mo

Chloe Bishop had reached a point of no return. The warmth of the Grayson Manor was a fading memory, replaced by the cold, hard reality of a family legacy under siege. She was no longer the bride waiting for rescue; she was the commander of a sinking ship, preparing to fire back."What way?" Mrs. Bishop asked, her voice filled with a mixture of hope and disbelief. She couldn't fathom what power her daughter held that could silence a board of veteran corporate vultures.Chloe squeezed her mother’s hand, her gaze unfaltering. "Mom, trust me. I won't let you or Dad down again. Right now, I need you to have the secretary send me every file on the company’s current and pending projects."Xavier Grayson had withdrawn with surgical cruelty—no handover, no transition period, just a void where leadership used to be. Chloe had exactly forty-eight hours to master the intricacies of a conglomerate she had previously only viewed from the sidelines.Mrs. Bishop’s phone rang again. A glance at the sc

The alliance between Steve Zhou and Xavier Sr. has officially turned the Bishop Group into a shark tank. While Chloe Bishop was preparing to fight for her heritage, the trap was already being set behind closed doors, turning her 48-hour reprieve into a race against a hidden executioner.Within the entire Bishop Group, Steve Zhou believed he was the only one qualified for the CEO chair. As long as Xavier Grayson stopped interfering, he didn't spare a single thought for the two Bishop women. They were merely obstacles to be cleared."Why should I help you?" Xavier Sr. asked, raising an eyebrow with practiced indifference."You'll help me because I know no one wants to see the marriage between Xavier and Chloe end more than you do," Steve Zhou analyzed rationally. "Furthermore, you, more than anyone, want Charles Bishop to wake up and realize he has absolutely nothing left."Xavier Sr. smiled thinly. "Why help you? What benefit do I gain from your ascension? If I let Xavier continue mana
