All Chapters of Betrayed By The Billionaire: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

When Liam Martin returned to the suite, Sara was already awake.He sat beside her, looking at her delicate face with doting eyes as he ruffled her hair. "You worked so hard last night. Thank you."Sara gave him a shy smile. "It was nothing. We’ve survived much harder times together than a restless night. What's a little bit of hardship compared to that?"Liam’s heart tightened with guilt. He remembered the car accident years ago—Sara had lost her father, and he had lost both of his parents and suffered a shattered leg. Those days were a dark, agonizing blur. If she hadn't been there, he might never have found his way back from that despair. He looked at her frail frame and wondered, not for the first time, how such a tiny girl had managed to carry him through it all back then."Liam," Sara said, her expression turning serious. "I have a confession to make."Looking at her solemn little face, Liam felt a chuckle bubble up. "Go ahead.""I... I used your phone to call Chloe last night."

Liam Jr. watched Chloe for a long moment before burying his small face into her shoulder, retreating once again into his silent "turtle shell."Chloe sighed, feeling the familiar weight of his withdrawal. She realized she couldn't force him to come out before he was ready.Throughout the morning, Xavier stayed with the boy. They spent time working on interlocking wooden puzzles before Xavier picked up a collection of English fables. To Chloe’s surprise, Liam Jr. listened with rapt attention. She hadn't realized he was fluent in English, but then she remembered he had spent much of his early life in the United States, so his bilingualism made perfect sense.As the boy grew tired, he instinctively rested his head on Xavier’s lap. Xavier reached down, his large hand gently ruffling the boy's soft, curly hair.The sight caught Chloe off guard. In this light, the icy armor Xavier usually wore seemed to melt away. His sharp, cold features softened, and while he still possessed an aura of un

Chloe couldn't bear to imagine the pain Nora and little Joy would endure if the rumors were true. Unable to sleep, she slipped out of her room to fix a glass of warm milk, hoping it would quiet her racing mind.She was halfway through the glass when Xavier returned. As they crossed paths, the sharp, heavy scent of alcohol hit her. "You've been drinking?" she asked instinctively. Perhaps because of Liam Martin’s severe allergy, she had become hypersensitive to the smell of liquor.Xavier didn't even grant her a glance, striding past her with cold indifference."How rude," Chloe whispered to herself, sighing as she drained the rest of the milk.She was turning to head back to the nursery when a violent thud echoed from Xavier’s suite. It sounded like something heavy had crashed to the floor. Did he fall? she wondered. He had looked steady enough a moment ago, but alcohol could be a slow-acting poison.Chloe hurried toward his room. Pushing the door open, she saw him hunched over the edg

The Old Madam looked at Chloe Bishop, whose face was currently flushed like a morning sunrise, and her heart swelled with joy. In this day and age, most young women were far too bold and uninhibited; it was rare to find someone who still had the grace to blush.Thinking of this, the Old Madam’s eyes suddenly grew misty. Her voice trembled with emotion as she patted the back of Chloe’s hand. "Good... that’s very good. Grandmother can finally rest easy now..."For years, Xavier Grayson had treated women like a plague. In his mid-twenties, he didn't just lack a girlfriend—he didn't even allow a female fly near him. This had been a source of immense anxiety for the matriarch.Her worry had peaked six months ago when Xavier suddenly returned from the United States cradling a baby boy of unknown origin, claiming the child was his son. When she pressed him about the mother, he coldly informed her she was dead and declared he would never give Liam Jr. a stepmother, nor would he ever father an

Bitterness washed over Chloe as she stared at the sleek beast idling in the driveway.It was her favorite model—a limited-edition masterpiece that even the wealthiest struggled to procure. Liam Martin had once promised to find one for her as a Valentine’s Day gift, but he had failed. Rumor had it only one existed in all of River City. She never imagined it would be sitting in Xavier Grayson's garage.The door swiveled open, and a lean, agile figure stepped out.Chloe recognized him instantly. With his dark cap and hair falling over one eye, he looked strikingly like a quiet hero from an action movie—specifically, the man who had saved the Bishop estate during that terrifying night a week ago."Madam," Vince said, bowing slightly.Knowing he was one of Xavier’s top men didn't surprise her. "Thank you for that night," Chloe said sincerely. "What is your name?""Vince.""Vince, your skills are incredible." Chloe wasn't one to withhold praise from a savior.The usually stoic Vince blinked
