Semua Bab Betrayed By The Billionaire: Bab 871 - Bab 880

Nia, acting as if she hadn't caught the edge in Chloe's words, nodded and said, "That's good to hear. Your uncle is the type who does things without saying a word. If I don't speak up for him, how would you ever understand his good intentions?"Just then, Grandmother Zara came downstairs carrying little Lily.Chloe put away the bracelet and handed it to a servant to store, then walked over to play with the little one. "Lily, do you miss your big sister?""Ba-ba..."The little girl adored her older cousin. She blew a tiny bubble and babbled, waving her chubby little hands.Lily had been raised well—plump and pink, soft as a peach, and already starting to babble back at people. She was absolutely adorable.But as Chloe played with her, the light in her eyes began to dim.If the child in her womb could be born... would it take after her more, or more after Xavier?Would it be as cute as Lily?She reached out to take the baby into her arms, but Shawn subtly stepped aside and reminded her

At eight o'clock, the Grayson household also sat down to dinner. Five dishes and a soup—not as abundant as the Bishop family's spread, but refined and beautifully presented, with perfect color, aroma, and flavor.Lady Grayson was absolutely delighted. She pulled out her phone, snapped several photos, and posted them in the group chat to show off. Between clicks, she gushed at Xavier, "I've heard from Nanny for ages that you could cook, but I never knew you were this good! My Xavier is so outstanding—you've made your grandmother so proud."Xavier had switched to a pair of black gloves by now.The old lady was too busy showing off and admiring the feast to notice his hands.Xavier surveyed his work with satisfaction, pulled out a chair, and sat down with practiced elegance. He also took out his phone and snapped a picture before nodding to Gwen, who was practically drooling. "Eat.""Thanks, big brother."Gwen was starving and immediately dug in with abandon.Xavier tapped the table ligh

Seth Rollins's carrot shreds could rival Xavier Grayson's potato strips any day."Anything else to cut?"The gleam in Chloe Bishop's eyes filled Seth Rollins with pride.Chloe Bishop: "...No."Was Brother enjoying himself that much? Was he addicted to chopping now?Grayson CorporationIt was the weekend, and the workday was long over. The entire office building stood empty and silent.Xavier Grayson sat before his computer, the back of his hand resting on the mouse covered in blisters, the surrounding skin red and raw.Finch stared at those blisters, growing more uneasy by the second. "Boss, you really should go to the hospital. If you absolutely won't, at least let me put some ointment on it?"Finch couldn't understand what was going through Xavier Grayson's mind. The burn was so severe—why wouldn't he even apply medicine? Didn't it hurt?It did. A searing, burning pain.But Xavier Grayson couldn't be bothered to deal with it. He had no desire to.After a long silence with no respons

Seth Rollins thought Chloe was worried about the plan failing. With a doting smile, he said softly, "Don't worry. If anything goes wrong, I'll clean it up for you."In that gentle smile, Chloe caught a glimpse of an uncommon confidence—the kind that only appeared in a man powerful enough to feel that everything was under his control.The only other person she'd ever seen exude that kind of confidence was Xavier.In some ways, Seth Rollins and Xavier were evenly matched.Having a man like that watching over her should have been reassuring. But her past had taught her otherwise—don't rely on anyone. Only when you were strong yourself could you truly feel safe.Chloe curved her lips and replied in a similar tone, "Don't worry. I won't let this plan fail. And even if it does, I can end it cleanly."She was no longer the Chloe Bishop from three months ago. She didn't need to depend on anyone anymore—she was her own greatest support.At this moment, she was like the brightest star in the ni

Between Lucian Grayson and her, he had chosen his beloved father.What else could be so difficult for him to say?As for why Xavier had shown up here at all—Chloe Bishop had no idea.She waited a long time. He still didn't speak, nor did he show any sign of leaving. Deciding to ignore him, she started her video conference.She'd be busy until late tonight. Once he got bored, he'd leave on his own.To sell the act completely, she opened a meeting with her top executives—except for Arthur and his faction. She wanted Arthur to believe she'd lost the core of the Rollins Family project and was holding a secret meeting to salvage the situation.The video call connected, and Chloe appeared on screen with a grave expression, her voice barely containing simmering fury. "You've all heard by now. We've just lost something critical. Without it, the Rollins Family project is dead.""You all know how important this project is to the company, don't you? Project department—I handed this to you. I war
