Lahat ng Kabanata ng We Quit the Mission and Inherited Billions: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

In the tenth year of our mission to win over Adrian Sinclair and Vincent Kane, the system informed us that their favorability had stalled at 99 percent. All we had to do was legally marry them to complete the mission.Rain poured relentlessly. Lily Shaw and I stood outside the courthouse in our thin white dresses for four whole hours.Even after the staff left for the day, those two familiar Rolls-Royces never appeared.Then my phone lit up with a notification from my VIP alerts.It was a new post from Belle White.The picture showed two pairs of hands preparing orange segments for her.The caption read sentimentally: “I may be sick, but I have two handsome men taking care of me. Even oranges taste sweeter.”I recognized those hands.The hands on the left belonged to Adrian, the aloof golden boy of high society who had once sworn to peel shrimp for me forever.The ones on the right belonged to Vincent, the powerful city tycoon who had once threatened to make the entire world pay if Li

We spent half an hour submerged in the icy water.Only when Lily and I had turned blue and nearly lost consciousness were we dragged ashore like limp corpses.Adrian looked down at us as we trembled violently.“Are you clear-headed now? If you still haven’t had enough, I can make sure the Lowe and Shaw family stocks come crashing down tomorrow.”Threats were Adrian’s favorite weapon.In the past, I always compromised and humbled myself to complete the mission.But now…My hands trembling, I wiped the water from my face and forced a smile through the pain.“I understand now, Mr. Sinclair. You're right.”Lily lowered her head as well, her voice hoarse and broken. “I understand now, too.”When Adrian saw that we had finally backed down, a flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes.Vincent merely snorted and tossed a towel over Lily’s head.“This could have been avoided if you’d listened from the beginning.“The wedding is tomorrow. Don’t show up looking like you’re attending a funeral.“Be

Lily and I disappeared without a trace.Our car had plunged into the deep, swollen river, and with the flooding season in full swing, there was no chance of recovering anything.Adrian and Vincent went mad.The moment we disappeared beneath the river, it was as if someone had ripped their souls from their bodies.Adrian shoved Belle away, even forgetting that she was still clutching her chest and crying out in pain.He ran to the broken railing, his eyes bloodshot, and tried desperately to jump into the river.“Clara! Clara! I’m not saving Belle anymore! I’m coming to save you. Don’t scare me…”If the bodyguards hadn’t held him back, the golden boy of high society would probably have ended his life for love right then and there.Vincent dropped to his knees, digging his hands into the ground until his nails split and blood ran down his fingers.He stared at the churning river and muttered over and over:“It was a lie… It was all a lie… Lily was terrified of pain. How could she have jum

The front doors slammed shut.Two bodyguards dragged Belle back by the arms and threw her onto the shattered glass covering the floor.“Ah! It hurts!”Belle screamed as shards pierced her knees, blood spilling down her legs.But she ignored the pain and crawled on her knees toward Adrian.“Adrian, what happened? It’s me, Belle! Did these people tell you something? Don’t believe them! They’re trying to frame me!”Adrian looked down at her.His eyes no longer held affection. They burned with the hatred of a man who wanted to tear her apart.He bent down, gripped Belle’s chin, and gradually tightened his hold.“You claim your heart is sick? Then let me cut it open and see what kind of heart you truly have.”Belle trembled violently, tears and snot streaking her face.“Adrian… don’t scare me… I did it because I loved you! I only lied because I was afraid of losing you!“I never thought Clara and Lily would die! It was an accident!”“An accident?”Vincent walked over with a cold laugh, carr

“Open another bottle.”Lily casually tossed the empty bottle onto the carpet. I stood up and turned the livestream volume all the way up.On the screen, Belle had stopped struggling.“She’s dead?” Lily scoffed, swirling her glass. “She really wasn’t much fun. We spent an entire night in that pool.”On the screen, Adrian finally moved.He did not try to recover Belle’s body. Instead, he turned around and walked mechanically back into the house like a puppet on strings.Vincent was still completely out of control.He knelt on the ground, trying again and again to piece together the shredded accident report.“It won’t go back together… It won’t go back together…”Vincent muttered to himself, all hope gone from his eyes.“Adrian! Don’t you dare walk away!”Vincent suddenly sprang to his feet, rushed over, grabbed Adrian by the collar, and punched him in the face.“This was your fault! You were the one who insisted on making them apologize!“If you hadn’t ordered the car to stop that day on
