Fakely Inlove With The Billionaire의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

“Family,” Jessica repeated, staring at the message. “Whose family?”Christian’s jaw tightened. “We need to find her. Now, before Sarah’s story goes public and she disappears completely.”“She’s still in custody from the gala,” Arnold said. “Held for questioning after the false paternity claims.”“Then we go there tonight,” Christian said, already reaching for his keys.Jessica stood quickly, ignoring the exhaustion pulling at her body. “I’m coming with you.”“Jessica, it’s nearly midnight,” Christian said. “You need rest.”“I need answers more,” Jessica said firmly. “If this woman is somehow connected to your mother’s disappearance, I need to hear what she says myself.”Christian studied her for a long moment before finally nodding, unable to argue against the determination in her eyes.They arrived at the detention facility twenty minutes later, security escorting them through quiet hallways until they reached a small room where Daniella sat waiting, her earlier confidence completely

Arnold sat in his usual chair, his face calm despite the storm clearly brewing in Christian’s eyes as he stormed through the door.“Grandfather,” Christian said, holding up his phone. “Is there a second will? One that doesn’t name me as heir?”Arnold’s expression shifted immediately, guilt flashing across his tired face before he could hide it.“Sit down,” he said quietly. “Both of you.”“Just answer the question,” Christian said, refusing to move.Arnold sighed heavily, his hands trembling slightly around his cane.“Yes,” he admitted. “There is a second will. Filed three months ago.”Jessica felt her stomach drop. “Why would you do that? After everything we’ve survived together?”“Let me explain before you assume the worst,” Arnold said. “Please.”Christian’s jaw tightened, but he finally sat, pulling Jessica down beside him.“Speak,” he said coldly.“After my collapse before your wedding,” Arnold began slowly, “I grew frightened. Frightened I might die suddenly, leaving the company

“Tonight,” Jessica repeated, her hand flying to her stomach instinctively. “He’s coming tonight.”“How do you know this?” Christian demanded into the phone. “Why should we believe anything you’re telling us?”“Because I have no reason to lie right now,” Matt said, his voice cracking with urgency. “I’m sitting in prison, Christian. I can’t gain anything from warning you except maybe proving I’m not the monster everyone thinks I am.”“You’ve said things like that before,” Christian said coldly.“I know,” Matt said. “I know I don’t deserve trust after everything. But please, just listen. Lucy’s been feeding me small pieces about Bronson’s plan for weeks, thinking she was recruiting me to help. I let her keep talking because I wanted to understand what he was actually planning.”“And what is he planning exactly?” Jessica asked, fear sharpening her voice.“A private medical team,” Matt said. “People posing as emergency responders. He’s planning to fake a crisis, something requiring immedia

“He knows about the private appointment,” Jessica whispered, staring at the message. “Even with Dr. Reyes, even keeping everything off the record.”“Someone’s still talking,” Christian said, fury hardening his voice. “After everything tonight, after Daniel’s confession, someone else is feeding him information.”“Or he’s simply guessing,” Jessica said. “Trying to scare us into canceling appointments completely, keeping us trapped inside this house.”Christian’s phone buzzed again, another message following the first.Tomorrow, three in the afternoon. Come alone this time, Jessica. If Christian shows up with security, I walk away and try something far less pleasant next.“Absolutely not,” Christian said immediately. “You’re not going anywhere near him alone.”“He’ll know if you’re there,” Jessica said. “He’s proven that tonight already.”“Then we make sure he doesn’t know,” Christian said. “Hidden security, positioned carefully, nothing obvious enough to spook him.”Jessica sat down slo

Jessica stared at the message, her chest tightening painfully.“Christian,” she said slowly, “someone just warned me not to trust Winona.”She showed him the screen. His jaw tightened as he read it.“Another anonymous number,” he said. “Different from Bronson’s usual contact.”“That’s exactly what worries me,” Jessica said. “How many people are actually watching us right now?”“We need to be careful either way,” Christian said. “Whether this warning is real or another manipulation, we can’t simply ignore it before meeting Winona.”Felix, still working at his laptop nearby, looked up suddenly. “I can run a background check on her right now. See if her name actually matches everything she’s told us so far.”“Do it,” Christian said.Felix typed quickly, searching through public records and old documents. Several minutes passed in tense silence before his face shifted with sudden concern.“This is strange,” he said. “Her birth certificate shows a different last name originally. Winona Ell
