All Chapters of After 666 Betrayals, I Chose His Billionaire Rival: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The white-haired shareholder smiled. "What's there to doubt? If Edmund were alive, of course he'd inherit he's the eldest.""But fate's cruel sometimes. He died young. Which left Nathan as the only one in this family capable of carrying it forward. We're only here, as elders of this company, to make sure that even once the seal changes hands, Nathan continues treating you exactly as he always has.""If he ever shows you a hint of disrespect, we'll be the first in line to object. For the good of the Pierce name, Mrs. Pierce it's time to let a little power go."Beatrice sighed.She lifted a hand, theatrical, pressing her knuckles to the corner of one eye. "Yes. If only my Edmund were still alive. Would all of this have fallen into an illegitimate son's hands instead?"Nathan's eyes narrowed.Something felt off.Beatrice wasn't behaving like herself today.As much as she'd always looked down on his standing as the illegitimate son, both of them had long understood the arrangement between

The amusement park.The moment they walked in, Milo made a beeline for the carousel.Eyes bright, he looked up at the two adults flanking him. "The three-seater's for a family of three!"A family of three.Something tightened in Lily's chest.Nathan had always been lukewarm around Milo at best, his attention purely a performance for show.Just managing to coexist peacefully had always counted as a win.He certainly wasn't the type to drop his work and his life to spend a day at an amusement park.It had always just been Lily and Milo.Both of them with hearing aids, in a world that wasn't built for it.So many rides had turned them away over the years.And every time, Milo had been the one comforting her telling her he didn't even like rides that much, that they were silly anyway.But nowLooking at the sheer hope and joy on his face, how could she possibly refuse him anything?She nodded, firm. "Okay. Mom's riding with you."Milo turned hopeful eyes on Adrian.Adrian said nothing.Wh

The sleeping boy still trembled every so often.Adrian stepped away from the bed.Crossed to the balcony.Looked out over the grounds below.He rubbed his temples. Tomorrow's going to be another battle, clearly.He could handle negotiations and boardrooms with equal ease.Business, family politics he was good at all of it.Comforting a crying child, apparently, was the one thing that genuinely stumped him.He let out a breath.Tucked the blanket back around Milo and left the room.He'd barely reached his own doorWhen Prescott's voice called after him."Master Adrian."He stopped, turning toward the older man.Prescott approached, smiling. "The old master's asked me to find a proper nanny and tutor for young Milo."Adrian answered with a cool hum.One sentence, and suddenly the old man's playing the gracious grandfather?A thin, cold smile tugged at his mouth.Prescott caught it and sighed quietly to himself. "You know how he's always been. If he genuinely didn't want the boy, he woul

Lily: "..."She watched, head tilted, as Mr. Hendricks walked straight into the studio next door.Chloe's neck flushed red with fury.Lily smiled, went to her office, and came back with three red envelopes, handing them out one by one."I've been too swamped to put together proper New Year gifts this time," she said warmly. "So a bonus instead. Buy whatever you need."Chloe took hers.It had real weight to it.Roughly five thousand dollars, by the feel of it."Long live Lily!" Chloe said, grinning. "Next year's definitely going to be your year."Lily laughed, waving her off. "All right, all right. Thank you for the flattery."Once Lily had gone back to her officeChloe turned to the two new hires, showing off a little. "Look how generous our boss is. You two are still interns, haven't even been promoted yet, and you get the exact same treatment. We owe it to her to work hard."Lucy tucked her envelope away, bright with enthusiasm. "Absolutely."Ethan hummed in agreement. "Understood."

It looked oddly familiar.Lily watched Adrian in silence.He was still on the phone, deep in conversation.An indescribable bitterness rose in her chest.When he finally hung up, he asked, "Ready to go? To see their department head."Lily nodded quickly.Adrian walked straight toward her car. "You're driving."She hurried after him.He gave her the address.Neither of them spoke the whole way.They drove straight there.A private estate, tucked into the heart of the city.Quiet. Still. Untouched by the noise outside its gates.They parked, and Adrian led her in.A man came forward, smiling broadly.He clapped Adrian on the shoulder. "It's been far too long. How have you been keeping?"Adrian returned the smile, perfectly measured. "I'm well. And you, sir how's your health?"The man Director Dalton nodded, smiling, then glanced toward Lily. "And this is... your girlfriend?"Adrian's smile thinned just slightly as he made the introduction. "A friend of mine. Lily, lead designer at her o
