All Chapters of Carrying My Husband's Billionaire Uncle's Child (English): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Scarlett stood at the hotel’s front desk, busy checking in and paying the bill. The soft hum of the lobby filled the air, blending with the faint scent of polished wood and fresh lilies from a nearby vase. She had just signed the final document when a sharp, familiar voice broke through the quiet.“Look who’s here!”Scarlett turned around, slightly startled. Dawn’s face came into view, wearing a grin as if he had just seen something amusing.“Dawn...” she greeted him seriously.“Hello, Scarlett.” He gave her an easy smile, nodding toward the suitcase at her side. “What brings you here?”“There was a bit of a misunderstanding at home. Tobias and I... I just need a few days to rest, away from him.”“Ah, a quarrel with him?” His brow lifted slightly. “So you’re giving each other some space?”Scarlett didn’t answer. Her silence served as confirmation.At that moment, both receptionists stood up and greeted Dawn respectfully. Only then did Scarlett realize that Dawn actually owned this hot

Scarlett’s fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms. She could feel the heat of her anger building, ready to break free. She wanted to scream, or maybe slap Tobias across the face for having the nerve to act this way.How could he still pretend nothing had happened? After everything they had been through, this was the first time his true colors had finally shown. He was incredibly good at manipulating people, something she had never noticed before. Or perhaps she had simply been blinded by love.What hurt even more was that Grandma Erenea still believed he was a good person, a good man, and a good husband for her. As if he had cast a spell that clouded every trace of her judgment.The old woman stepped closer and took Scarlett’s hand. “My dear, no matter what happened, you and your husband can still make things right. I’m begging you, work things out. It doesn’t have to end like this.”Scarlett took a deep breath, forcing herself to keep her voice calm. “I’ve alre

Scarlett fell silent, as if stunned, her eyes slowly widening in shock and fear. When Darius noticed the trace of panic on her face, his hard expression softened slightly before he finally released her.She wasted no time and immediately moved toward the window, gently rubbing her aching jaw. “I just want answers about Scar-Bias Holdings. What’s wrong with the company. That’s all. I don’t have any other intentions.”Determination laced her voice, making it clear she wouldn’t back down. Loosening his tie, Darius kept his face unreadable. “My people saw what happened when Greg went there. The company’s problem is fake investors, cooked financial reports, and serious tax evasion.”“That’s not true! Impossible!”She had long felt that something was wrong, especially since Tobias had been so desperate to get the support of Meridian Investment Partners, but the weight of this revelation was different. It was darker than anything she had imagined.That was when she finally realized how serio

“The loser has to put up two sports cars and twenty million,” Dawn said with an arrogant smile. “Poor you, Darius. Looks like you’ll be giving up two sports cars today.”Devine’s mouth fell open at what she heard. “T-Twenty... million and sports cars?” she almost shouted.Alfonso Santibañez laughed. “That’s how we play. It’s always high stakes. Since she backed out, that just means she’s already lost.”Darius sat silently, lounging in a chair and sipping his coffee as if the whole thing were beneath him.Scarlett looked at Darius.Two cars. Twenty million. For Darius, that was probably just pocket change. But to Scarlett, that much money was a fortune. If she had that kind of money, she could have gotten The C Alliance back a long time ago, taken her Grandma Erenea out of the country, and secured a future for her child.“Do you know how to play golf?” Darius suddenly asked.Scarlett looked around, only then realizing he was talking to her. “I do. But I’m not as good as you.”“Give it

“Are you just gonna stand there?” Darius’s tone remained cold and emotionless.Scarlett stepped inside, careful not to let her nervousness show. She could smell the medicine in the room. She stopped a few feet away from the table. “I heard from Greg that you had an allergic reaction. Are you okay?”Darius gave a quiet scoff, his eyes flicking up from his papers. “So you do care about me.”Scarlett bit her lower lip. She didn’t know why her face suddenly felt hot at his question. “Of course, I do... We’re family.”He studied her, taking in that sweet face, calm expression, and perfect look of concern. But Darius knew better. Scarlett was careful with her emotions. She wore kindness like armor, soft on the outside but always calculating inside.Darius’s arm suddenly began to itch. He cursed instinctively and scratched it.“Don’t scratch it!” Scarlett quickly stopped him and hurried over.She suddenly remembered having the same allergy when she was young. Scratching it had only made it w
