The Beggar Is A Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 17

While Cass was out there fighting to get her broken dreams back together, Loreen was locked away in her own world, busy with her own evil plans. She was never going to sit back and allow Cassandra to find even a little bit of happiness in this life.Inside the quiet, cold halls of the Laurel mansion, the sharp sound of Loreen’s expensive designer heels clicked loudly against the marble floor. She walked down the long corridor with a proud posture, heading straight toward the private study room that used to belong entirely to Carlo—Cass’s father. Waiting inside the room was an old man with gray hair, a private family lawyer whom Loreen had hired specifically for a very dark task."Are you completely sure about what you want to do here, Mrs. Laurel?" the lawyer asked, his voice shaking a little bit as he adjusted his glasses and looked at the documents on the desk.Loreen smiled widely, a cold look stretching across her face as she sat down gracefully in the leather chair in front of th

One quiet afternoon, Cass was busy arranging her new books inside the small hanging cabinet on the wall. Liam had built that little cabinet for her with his own two hands using leftover wood. She had begged him for weeks to make her a bookshelf and buy her some books so she wouldn't die of boredom inside the house. It had been a long time since her audition, and the modeling agency still hadn't called her back. She was starting to lose hope, and reading was the only thing keeping her sane.The top shelf of the cabinet was completely empty, and it was much too high for her to reach. Left with no choice, she dragged a creaky wooden chair over and stood on top of it, balancing carefully on her tiptoes."Do you need some help with that, senyorita?" Liam asked from the sofa. He was sitting back comfortably, resting his arms on the cushions, quietly watching her stretch her entire body. "You look like a tiny monkey trying to reach a banana.""I am not a monkey, and I don't need your help! I

Cass pulled the hood of her jacket lower over her eyes as she rushed down the narrow, crowded alleyway. Her heart was beating so fast she could hear it in her ears. The ground was still wet from the rain, and she had to hop over puddles, but she did not care about her shoes. She only cared about finding Liam. If the gossip from Krissa and Precy was true, she wanted to see it with her own two eyes. She wanted the absolute truth. And she did not have to wait very long. As soon as she reached the main street at the end of the alley, she froze behind a large concrete post. Just a few meters away, Liam was standing by the sidewalk. The black tuxedo fit his tall body perfectly, making him look completely out of place next to the dirty street walls. A sleek, incredibly expensive black sports car pulled up right in front of him. The car door opened, and a beautiful young woman stepped out. She was wearing a gorgeous designer dress, her hair perfectly styled, and she gave Liam a huge, fam

The bright signs of the city looked blurry through the wet window of a passing bus. Long lines of red and blue light spread across the dark street. Cass just kept walking. Her boots splashed through small puddles of dirty rainwater, but she did not even look down. Her mind was a total mess. She kept seeing the image of Liam in that perfect black tuxedo over and over again. Every word he said felt like a heavy stone dropping into her stomach.She had no real plan. She did not know which street she was on, and she did not know where her feet were taking her in the dark. But even though she was confused and heartbroken, she was completely sure of one thing—she was never going to go back to that tiny apartment.She was never going to step foot inside that small room where they had shared food, argued over chores, and almost kissed just yesterday. And she was never, ever going to look at Liam’s face again."How could I be so completely blind?" she whispered to herself, the hot tears mixing
