All Chapters of Betrayed By My Husband, Bagged A Billionaire And An Empire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The sun had set over a sprawling, multi-acre estate in the exclusive hills outside the city, where the luxury villa of the Cho family had been completely transformed into an otherworldly fantasy realm for the birthday of their daughter, Amy. Her parents, who owned one of the largest chains of luxury shopping malls in New York, had spared no expense. The entire grounds were designed with a stunning high-fantasy kingdom theme, and pathways were lined with glowing, oversized crystal flora, and the entrance resembled the ivory gates of an enchanted castle. Towering glass arches also mimicked crystal palaces that lined the lawns, while lustrous fairy lights sparkled under floating pastel floral arrangements.The invited kids from ELITÈ Academy arrived one after another, dressed in their most fantabulous suits and custom-designed gowns. The girls looked absolutely stunning, wearing sweeping dresses that looked entirely out of this world, shimmering with layers of tulle, silk, and iridescen

Things had spiraled completely out of control and by the morning, the tension at the ELITÈ academy had risen to a suffocating and chaotic level. The investigation had doubled in intensity since a simple accident probe had turned into a high-stakes crime ground because the toxicology report had confirmed something truly alarming; a nine-year-old child had been drugged with Ritalin.Eric fiercely defended his sister to the investigators when they came to the hospital, and recounted how the popular clique had cornered her, maliciously calling her a poor, motherless charity case.When Marcus heard what had happened, he was absolutely livid, and he sent a message to the school with immediate effect, “I do not care about the school’s high-society reputation. If you cannot fetch the exact culprit who poisoned my kid, I will personally buy this entire institution by the end of the week and shut it down permanently.”Fearing for the reputation of their prestigious school, the academy also bega

The front doors of Jules’s luxurious apartment swung open, and the twins walked in alongside her, their faces lighting up with instant delight. For the first time in days, they looked genuinely relaxed and incredibly happy to return to a place that felt like a haven.Eleanor had strongly insisted on an early discharge, flatly declaring she was tired of staring at hospital walls and luckily, their trusted family physician, Dr. Michael, had ultimately confirmed she was medically fit to leave, agreeing that any subsequent treatments and follow-up checkups could easily be managed in the comfort of their mansion. Isabella had thrown a fit and aggressively suggested that the kids come stay at her house instead, but Marcus had firmly assured his mother that they would be safe.Halfway back to the estate, Eleanor had peeked up and murmured that she wanted to go to Jules's place instead, and Jules, who was initially accompanying them home before she returned to hers, did not hesitate for even

The patio of the Baldwin estate had become a prison of Hilary’s own making and she had been crying profusely for hours before the tears eventually dried up into a hollow, dead-eyed brooding. She was on the precipice of losing her mind and her body was vibrating with exhaustion after refusing to eat a single bite of food for thirty-six hours straight. Their primary source of income and the backbone of their entire lavish lifestyle, had burned to a pile of ash. Everything was gone.She sat slumped on the outdoor lounger, completely indifferent to the harsh midday sunshine that had beaten down on her earlier, or the biting cold that was now settling in as night approached. Her hair looked like a matted, unwashed bird's nest and she hadn't bathed, answered a single one of the dozens of phone calls lighting up her screen, tended to Brittany or the household.Inside, Jerry Baldwin was drowning his own panic. Having heard the catastrophic news about their logistics company, he had spent the

“Jules! Are you seeing this?! What on earth am I seeing on my feed right now?!” Sasha screamed over the line, her voice vibrating out of Jules’s phone speaker almost splitting her eardrum.Jules let out a small, weary chuckle as she leaned back in the leather chair of her car, knowing what she was talking about already, “It is exactly what you see, Sasha.”“I am completely in shock!” Sasha yelled, her pace obviously frantic on the other end of the line, “How does a man who is so visibly and desperately in love with one woman just turn around and get engaged to another?! It makes zero sense!”“It is life, Sasha,” Jules replied, her voice flat and devoid of emotion, “People in Marcus's position do not marry for love. They marry for asset protection and crisis management. It is business.”“Oh, don't give me that detached, philosophical corporate garbage because he’s got a lot of money and can marry for love,” Sasha hissed, sounding thoroughly pissed off, “And you’ve got money too. Marry
