All Chapters of The Billionaire's Secret Heirs: Divorcing the Man Who Betray: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Nathan's face went dark.He stared at Claire, hunting for an answer she clearly had no intention of giving.She didn't even turn her head as if her hearing had failed right along with her voice.At this moment, only Grandma Wade deserved her attention.Nathan ground his molars.Fine. Ignore me all you want.Plenty of ways to make her cave eventually.Claire spent a long stretch at Grandma Wade's bedside.No sign of her waking up.Clearly, rushing this wouldn't help. Claire headed to the press conference.She clarified publicly that she'd simply been sick these past few days every wild theory circling online was baseless speculation.She said nothing, though, about the villa scandal Nathan and Vanessa's affair. Nathan, standing beside her, couldn't stay quiet through that gap in the narrative."Sweetheart, thank you.""I've made terrible mistakes. But I intend to correct them, and I'm going to cherish this marriage we've fought so hard to hold onto.""We will never let a marriage of co

A chill shot through Claire instantly.She understood immediately what Zoe was telling her.Richard's sudden change in attitude it wasn't about me. It was about the Bennetts.There was no relief in the realization. Only a deep, bone-tired sadness no matter how hard she fought, she couldn't escape being a pawn passed between two families."Okay. Understood."She hung up and stood frozen on the sidewalk.Until a striking woman collided with her by accident."So sorry!"The woman blurted the apology fast and hurried off.Something in her panicked expression caught Claire's attention, but the collision hadn't touched her stomach, so she let it go.Locking her car, about to head off, Claire spotted two men in black slipping out from behind the parking structure, scanning the area like they were hunting for someone.Thinking of the frantic woman from before, Claire guessed these two weren't up to anything good.She left the garage quickly, hoping to avoid getting tangled in whatever this wa

Nathan, exasperated, chased after her car for a stretch, shouting helplessly. "Claire get back here"She'd stopped hearing him already.Claire didn't fully settle until she was home.She knew exactly what today's outburst meant.Another rupture with the Bennetts.A public display of the cracks between her and Nathan.This move might even cost her Richard's goodwill since his sudden warmth toward her had largely been about the Bennett connection to begin with.She hadn't even collected the hundred million or the shares yet. This had been pure impulse.But Claire genuinely couldn't stomach one more minute of the performance.Once she'd steadied herself, she sat on the sofa, hand resting on the small curve of her stomach.Given the uncertainty hanging over the pregnancy, when the earlier news cycle around Nathan, Diane, and Vanessa's dinner had gone viral, several posts had referenced her as "pregnant." Claire had asked Tina to lean on her connections and scrub those mentions clean.Now,

Nathan stopped dead, staring at Claire l rigid in his arms with a mixture of fear and wariness.His voice came out with a tremor he didn't even notice himself. "What did you just say?"Watching his nervous, guilt-stricken expression like his heart might actually leap out of his chest Claire sneered internally, eight hundred times over.So he does have moments of genuine fear.What's he actually afraid of?Afraid she'd uncovered the whole surrogacy scheme he and Vanessa had engineered? Afraid she'd stop being the willing vessel the two of them had used to protect their bloodline?Or maybe he was afraid the entire world would finally see him for exactly what he was a genuinely repulsive, calculating man.Claire swallowed the urge to unload on him and answered flatly instead."You gave me abortion medication. Do you really think you're still qualified to call yourself their father?"Nathan visibly relaxed at that.So she still doesn't know the rest.Truthfully, neither did he.Back in th

When they found Jasmine, she was gagged, handcuffed, and locked in her own small room.Seeing rescue finally arrive, she thrashed and sobbed, eyes already swollen red.The second she was freed, she cried out, frantic. "Quick!""My father's helping Diane leave the estate you have to stop him!"Nobody hesitated. They rushed her straight to the garden.Seeing the attic fire mostly under control now, still smoking heavily Jasmine went pale.Brought before Richard, before he could even start his interrogation, her legs gave out. She dropped to her knees and told him everything."Sir, ma'am it was my father. It has to be him""This is all my fault. All of it."Grandma Wade slammed both hands against her wheelchair's armrests, furious. "What does this have to do with you? Talk. Now!"Jasmine wiped her tears, trembling. "This all started with Jessica, ma'am.""Sir. Jessica never actually left the country.""She called me a couple days ago, asked me to bring something to her hotel.""When I go
