All Chapters of Betrayed By The Billionaire: Chapter 981 - Chapter 990

Charles Bishop was left speechless. In the end, he could only let out a wistful sigh. "They say daughters grow up and fly away — and here you are, already taking his side."Chloe Bishop quickly said, "Dad, no matter what, you'll always be number one in my heart. No one can ever take that place."That finally satisfied Charles Bishop. "At least I didn't raise you for nothing. Have Xavier Grayson come over for dinner tonight."Chloe Bishop finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Dad, he's injured. Can we wait a few more days?"Charles Bishop huffed. "Since when does being injured mean you don't need to eat?"Chloe Bishop conceded. "...Fine."Back in her room, she pulled out her phone — and to her utter shame, she felt nervous. What was she supposed to say to him?After learning that Xavier Grayson had risked his life in the Misty Forest, all her resentment toward him had melted away. Now, she was genuinely worried about his injuries.She agonized for a long time before finally deciding to t

Appearance — flawless.Physique — flawless.Presence — flawless!Never before had Charles Bishop seen a younger generation exude such innate nobility. Even standing there in stillness, Xavier Grayson commanded the aura of an emperor. Compared to him, even Seth Rollins — whom Charles Bishop had met just that morning — paled by at least three degrees.And that paleness had nothing to do with looks; what Seth Rollins lacked was bearing.Charles Bishop wanted to find fault with Xavier Grayson. But in the end, all he could conclude was that aside from a certain coldness in his brows and eyes, the young man before him was practically impeccable.Charles Bishop had to admit — Chloe Bishop's taste this time was on point. This Xavier Grayson was far superior to that Liam Martin. The only question now was the character beneath the surface.So he turned his attention to Xavier Grayson's attire: an iron-gray suit paired with a dark purple shirt, sapphire cufflinks at the sleeves. The whole look w

Xavier Grayson's attitude was sincere. "Please tell me how, Uncle."Charles Bishop was very pleased with Xavier Grayson's demeanor.After all, Xavier Grayson had earned his place today through a shrewd and brilliant mind. He must have long seen through the fact that Charles Bishop was deliberately putting him through the wringer.Yet he still chose to play along — that was what mattered.Charles Bishop glanced toward the kitchen. "The chef is off today. Whether we eat tonight depends on you."Hadn't Chloe said he could cook? Then let the first test be his culinary skills.Xavier Grayson understood — so this was the challenge. "Leave it to me, Uncle."A single meal — that was hardly a hardship.Charles Bishop stood up and stretched. "I'm tired. Going to take a nap. When I wake up, I expect to see eight dishes and a soup.""Yes, sir."Xavier Grayson rose to his feet with a smile, standing a full half-head taller than Charles Bishop.Charles Bishop felt a shiver under Xavier Grayson's sm

Xavier Grayson himself went to the Bishop residence.He met with Shawn and Zara and told them of his decision to go to the Misty Forest and bring back the medical hermit Simon. In return, he hoped they would agree to let him be with Chloe Bishop.After hearing him out, Shawn asked only one question. "The Misty Forest is a no-man's-land. You might not come back. Have you truly thought this through?"Xavier Grayson didn't hesitate. "I've already made my decision."Shawn asked again, "When are you leaving?""Immediately.""So soon? Won't you take more time to prepare?"Xavier Grayson answered solemnly, "I will come back to her safely."He wanted Chloe Bishop back by his side as soon as possible — he couldn't wait a moment longer.Shawn said nothing more and went upstairs.Zara, however, seemed to have something to say — but she swallowed her words several times.Xavier Grayson assumed she was worried for his safety. "Mrs. Taylor, please don't worry. I promised I'd return alive, and I won

Xavier Grayson spun around sharply toward Liam.Liam was already unsteady on his feet, gasping for air as he leaned against a tree. Above his head, a bright green snake lunged straight at him."Watch out!"Xavier Grayson's face turned cold. He hurled his baton.Thunk!The sharp tip of the iron rod pinned the snake to the tree — its head dangling less than three centimeters from Liam's.Liam let out a breath of relief and slumped weakly to the ground.Xavier Grayson walked over, tugged the baton free with some effort, and sat down heavily beside Liam. He quickly unzipped his pack, pulled out a green vial, and shook two pills into Liam's palm.Before they'd set out, Shawn had warned Xavier Grayson about the miasma in the forest. Xavier Grayson suspected they were right in the middle of it — the thick snow cover hid the rotting matter beneath, but a foul smell still hung in the air.If Shawn's pills didn't work, he'd have to use pain to keep his mind clear and fight their way out of this
