All Chapters of Betrayed By The Billionaire: Chapter 971 - Chapter 980

Gwen Grayson knew the real reason, though. Her parents were afraid—afraid she'd still be stubbornly clinging to Tayne Marsh like she used to.Chloe Bishop remembered that Tim had dragged Gwen Grayson out tonight, so she asked, "The guy who dropped you off—was that Tim?"Gwen Grayson paused for a moment. "Yeah. He said he wanted to fake-marry me. So here's what happened..."Gwen Grayson went on and on about the whole story. When they heard why Tim was being pressured into marriage, both Chloe Bishop and Adam were thoroughly amused.Adam said, "Go for it. I guarantee that once you marry into his family, his grandmother and mother will spoil you rotten."Chloe Bishop added, "Same. They'll treat you like a little princess."Gwen Grayson: "...You guys are exaggerating. But seriously, Tim does seem to have a tiny bit of interest in me. He said, 'If it's you, I'm willing to turn fake into real.' Isn't that basically a confession?"Adam asked, "Is this Tim handsome? What are his credentials?"

Chloe Bishop followed the voice and saw Maya Bronx, Freya, and Sana. The one who'd spoken was Maya Bronx.Freya chimed in next. "My cousin here has always had her sights set high. She thinks you're not good enough for her, Mr. Barton—that you don't measure up to Xavier Grayson or Seth Rollins."Clint's expression soured. He turned to Chloe Bishop, irritated. "Chloe Bishop, I'll ask you once—are you in or out?"Chloe Bishop glanced around the room and spotted Nadia and Leo among the crowd, wearing smug expressions. It was clear this party had been rigged from the start. Getting out wasn't going to be easy.She smiled at Clint. "Mr. Barton, I came here tonight out of respect. This isn't a good look for you. Before I walked in, I told my bodyguard to check in with me every five minutes."As if on cue, her phone rang.She held it up for Clint to see. "If my guard doesn't hear my voice, reporters and police will have this place surrounded within minutes. I'm sure the internet would be very

The crowd finally understood — so Xavier Grayson was the one who'd been rejected?This scene was the complete opposite of the rumors!As soon as Chloe Bishop and Xavier Grayson walked away, the onlookers immediately turned sycophantic toward Clint. He shrugged on his jacket, shoved the woman beside him aside, and snapped, "Drag Maya Bronx, Freya, and those other bitches over here."Maya Bronx, Freya, and Sana were forced to their knees. Clint made them slap themselves until he was satisfied.Freya couldn't accept it. "Mr. Barton, I never expected Xavier Grayson to—"Before she could finish, Clint's palm cracked across her face.Clutching her stinging cheek, Freya glared at him in fury. "My father is a major shareholder of Bishop Group—"Clint backhanded her again. "I don't care who your father is. If you don't hit yourself, I'll have someone beat that face of yours to a pulp today."Terrified, Maya Bronx and Sana immediately began slapping themselves, the sharp sounds echoing through

Zara called Chloe into the room. "Chloe, there's something I need to tell you. Yesterday you asked if there was any way to heal Liam Martin's legs — remember?"Chloe's expression turned serious. "Does it have something to do with Dad waking up?"That was right — she hadn't had the chance to ask how her father had regained consciousness. She had a feeling it was connected to whatever her grandparents had been reluctant to tell her.Zara nodded and told Chloe about Xavier Grayson's trip to the Misty Forest. "We have him to thank for bringing the medical hermit Simon back. Otherwise, your father wouldn't have woken up so soon."The Misty Forest?The so-called "no-man's land"?No wonder her grandparents had kept it from her. That place was the kind where one misstep could mean never coming back. How could Xavier Grayson be so foolish?No wonder Liam hadn't been following her these past two days — he'd gone with Xavier Grayson into the Misty Forest.Zara took Chloe's hand. "Chloe, when Xav

Charles Bishop watched the young man approaching him, full of admiration. "The military really does make a difference — he must be at least 1.9 meters, look at that build!"Seth Rollins smiled. "Uncle, I'm not that tall — just over 1.8 meters."Charles Bishop chuckled. "That's the perfect height. Truly a fine young man — impressive, very impressive."After all, he'd watched the boy grow up, and Charles Bishop had always been fond of Seth Rollins.Seth Rollins had been sent to the military right after coming of age and had stayed for a full decade, climbing the ranks on his own merit. Charles Bishop held him in high regard.Just then, Chloe Bishop couldn't stay seated any longer. "Dad, I'm not feeling well. I'm going upstairs.""What's wrong?" Charles Bishop asked, concerned.Hadn't she been fine just a moment ago?Without answering, Chloe Bishop turned and headed upstairs. She didn't spare Seth Rollins a single glance.Even Charles Bishop, slow as he could be, could tell that somethin
