At the same time, Geoffrey was having quite a busy day.

Usually, he'd spend his time with a few buddies and a bunch of pretty girls, racing cars, surfing, playing golf, and indulging in a bit of light gambling, where he'd win enough to buy a few yachts. His days were filled with gourmet food and luxurious pastimes, living life to the fullest.

But today, his phone never stopped ringing. Call after call—he barely had time to respond. Several groups of women had shown up, only to be sent away with a single glare.

Earlier that morning, he had been snuggled in bed, dreaming about kissing the lips of a fiery, peppery woman when the shrill sound of his phone shattered the dream, causing the woman in his arms to vanish before he could even taste her.

He answered the call only to get chewed out by his father.

The land they had just bid on was suddenly being requisitioned. And the crown jewel of their business, the highly profitable 'Paradiso,' had bee

    Today, it seemed that everyone was particularly busy.Chloe had been searching for her phone from morning until afternoon.Her phone had been her trusty companion for many years, though it looked a bit worn. She couldn't bear to replace it. Well, to be honest, she didn't really have the money to get a new one anyway.She distinctly remembered placing it on her nightstand before going to bed last night, yet this morning, it was nowhere to be found.These days, being without a phone felt like being cut off from the world.After searching and reminiscing, she was certain it had been on the nightstand.Sitting by the window, she took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes narrowing into slits!In this house, the staff were highly trained and would never dare to steal anything. Besides, their phones were far more upscale than hers; her old, barely functioning phone was probably too pathetic for them to bother picking up.Hmm, it definite

    "Ah!" Florence was not pleased. "So, you arranged this seafood feast for her, not for me?"Lionel twitched his mouth, glancing at Chloe before looking back at his sister. "What are you talking about? I arranged this according to your tastes!""Really?" Florence stared at her brother, clearly skeptical."Eat up!" Lionel shot back, trying to cover his discomfort. He raised his bowl to drink soup, blocking half his face, so no one could see his expression.However, anyone paying attention might notice a slight flush at his ears.At that moment, Chloe's heart raced. She hardly cared about the siblings' argument over who the feast was for; her mind was racing with what to do.Was it that she was born in the wrong place, or was Flora? How could two people, surely enemies in a past life, end up as twin sisters?Heavens, it was a cruel joke!This mess was hard to clean up, and if she wasn't careful, Lionel would catch on. That would ex

  • Accidental One Night Stand With Billionaire   Chapter 122 Allergy Medicine

    At dinner, Chloe struggled to eat, hardly consuming anything. She tried a third of the dishes before exclaiming in distress that her stomach was too full, and she hurried upstairs like she was escaping for her life.*Ugh...*She dashed into the bathroom of her bedroom, locked the door, and leaned over the toilet to vomit. Feeling weak, she simply sat on the floor, which was clean enough that she could have comfortably slept there. After a while, when her stomach felt a bit calmer, Chloe stepped out of the bathroom.As a child, she had once experienced a severe seafood allergy, with vomiting, diarrhea, fever, chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, and red, swollen bumps on her skin. That incident had scared her parents, and they never let her touch seafood again. Perhaps it was because she was young and frail back then; now that she was an adult, her immunity had naturally improved. Yet, she still had to be cautious.She quickly rummaged through the medicine ca

    In the middle of the night.Heat—endless heat.Chloe kicked off the blanket, freed herself from Lionel's grasp, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her heart raced, feeling tight in her chest, and her back itched intensely. She scratched at it fiercely.When her fingers brushed over a hard bump, panic surged within her. Oh no, she was definitely having an allergic reaction.The itching spread all over her body, making her feel restless. In the dark, she touched several more bumps.This was bad!Without medication, she would be utterly tormented!She switched on the bedside lamp, unable to resist scratching a few more times. It felt like breathing itself was becoming a struggle.They had only just settled down when Lionel, perhaps exhausted from earlier, didn't wake when she turned on the light. As he slept, the harsh lines of his face softened, his lips forming a faint smile of satisfaction.Suddenly, her stomach churned violently. Forgetting her shoes, Chloe jumped out of bed and

    Since Chloe had an allergic reaction to seafood, all the food over the past few days had been light, with no trace of anything spicy.Florence, with her picky palate accustomed to gourmet meals, found this bland food, which seemed more suited for a sick person, unbearable after a few meals. Each time it was mealtime, she was nowhere to be seen at the table. She would rather go hungry than eat the food prepared.The chef could have made some delicious dishes just for her, but Lionel had ordered a complete removal of all allergens, banning any spicy food, even its scent. As a result, no ingredients that went against Lionel's strict instructions were purchased.Florence's plan to have the chef prepare something separately was dashed. When it became unbearable, she had the driver take her out to feast at a fancy restaurant. However, she had no friends in Westridge, and even the best food lost its flavor when eaten alone.Lionel always claimed she was his most treasured sister, but clearly

    Paradiso.Thanks to Lionel, Geoffrey had been so busy lately that he hadn't had any time for his usual indulgences.The Bureau of Investigation was reopening the case on Paradiso, and he had to run a thorough internal review before they got involved. With the billions he'd invested in that vast property, it was rumored he might only recover a fraction of the cost—if he was lucky. Worst-case scenario, he wouldn't get anything back.That morning, his father had chewed him out viciously."Serves you right! You bit off more than you could chew. Now look at you—no deal, no bone, and you've cracked a tooth. And for what? Women are a dime a dozen, but you had to go and mess with that woman? Don't you dare drag our family down with you!"Geoffrey was seething. He hadn't expected his father to find out about that, but he knew exactly who had spilled the beans without even needing to think.Lionel. That ungrateful bastard! Geoffrey had saved his woman, and instead of showing any gratitude, Lion

    On the other side, the enormous shopping mall was bustling with people. The countless brand-name counters, illuminated by the dazzling lights from the ceiling, reflected off the polished marble floors, making the whole mall even more glamorous.Chloe and Florence stopped in front of a women's clothing brand counter.Standing side by side, the two presented a stark contrast: Florence was glamorous and eye-catching, while Chloe had a more subtle and elegant look. Florence's "princess" image immediately made Chloe appear as a mere backdrop.The sales associate's eyes lit up the moment she saw the luxury clothing and expensive jewelry on Florence.Jackpot!She latched onto Florence with warmth and enthusiasm, flattering her endlessly, making Florence beam with satisfaction, as sweet as if she'd eaten honey.Florence indulged in the attention, trying on clothes after clothes without hesitation.Chloe, on the other hand, sat off to the side, merely an ornament in the scene.Another sales as

    Inside the fitting room, Chloe tossed the clothes carelessly onto the floor. The resentment that had built up from all the scorn, disdain, and humiliation made her feel like a balloon about to burst.If she didn't vent today, she wouldn't be able to move on!Sitting on the sofa, Chloe pulled out her phone, the new one Lionel had gotten her as compensation. That night, Lionel had tried to teach her how to use it, but she hadn't really paid attention. After fiddling with it a few times on her own, she realized how powerful it was.She had yet to use the phone to call anyone, and now, as if in frustration, she unlocked the screen—but her fingers froze.Who was she going to call? Lionel? To ask him to come to her rescue?To Lionel, she was merely a woman he shared a bed with. If she called him for help, what would his reaction be?Would he sneer and ignore her? Or rush over like a knight in shining armor?She mulled over these thoughts, a self-mocking smile playing on her lips. The latter

    "I'll cry if I want to. What's the matter? You can't stand it? If you don't like it, I'll go back to my mom's!" Chloe threatened, her hands on her hips, showing her teeth.Lionel raised an eyebrow. In the whole world, there was only one person who dared to threaten him—her! He quickly pulled Chloe into his arms, coaxing, "Alright, you can do whatever you want, I'll follow your lead. But please, don't make me worry so much. And from now on, you're not leaving my sight for a single second."What a joke—if she left, what would he do at night? He'd already gotten used to having her by his side.

    Lionel watched as the people quickly fled, his narrow eyes darkening. He turned to Barton beside him and said, "Take care of this."With that, his tall figure swiftly moved towards the restroom.For some reason, he had felt uneasy all day.When he heard "someone's been killed," his heart was pierced with a sharp sting. The unease inside him deepened; he needed to see it for himself.As someone's face turned ashen, they quietly slipped out of the venue while Barton was busy calming the crowd."Lion..."Chloe's voice broke the silence, and Lionel froze. He looked up to see the familiar face, and her voice, thick with emotion, caused tears to well up in her eyes, which then fell, trembling.She had been so strong just moments ago, but the moment she saw Lionel, her heart felt fragile, as if it could shatter with a single breath.Seeing Chloe like this, Lionel was horrified. Blood was everywhere on her lips, and it sent a sharp pain through his chest. Without a second thought, he rushed t

    Eamonn had been salivating over Chloe for a long time.To get to her, he had even used his proximity to Cynthia as a stepping stone, but little did he know, Lionel had beaten him to the punch.Even though Eamonn had the desire, he lacked the courage to act on it. He harbored those thoughts but never dared to lay a hand on Chloe.But when he was assigned a task—to torment Chloe, with the promise of a bright future and wealth beyond measure—he found himself going all in.As a man, there are always those few moments of madness in life.

    "Chloe... long time no see." Eamonn shamelessly stood only a few steps away from Chloe, his body inching closer with each passing moment.Ever since Cynthia's accident, he had disappeared without a trace, and Chloe couldn't understand why he'd suddenly reappeared now."What are you doing here?" Chloe's voice was icy, and she showed no sign of warmth towards him.The mere sight of him reminded her of poor Cynthia, and the anger within her grew even stronger. Seeing him advance with that sinister glint in his eyes set off alarm bells in her mind."Stop!" Chloe took a large step back, not caring that her dress was still wet. She hurriedly wrapped a coat around herself.Eamonn ignored her words, his face still twisted with a smirk, taking a few more steps forward."Chloe, don't be like this. I'm not a virus. Why are you so afraid of me getting closer? It's been so long, and I have so much to say to you."He raised his hand, trying to grab Chloe's.Chloe swung her arm out to the side, evad

    In the morning, Chloe and Lionel walked downstairs to find Joanna already seated at the dining table."Good morning, Lion, Chloe," Joanna greeted them with a graceful smile, delicately sipping her milk.Her gaze involuntarily shifted to Chloe's neck, and as expected, the marks from last night's kiss were still clearly visible.The sounds she overheard at the door yesterday flashed through Joanna's mind. Bitch! she cursed silently.Lionel ignored Joanna's greeting, and Chloe merely snorted in response. They both sat down to breakfast. As usual, Lionel fussed over Chloe, fetching this and that for her, while Joanna seemed to vanish into thin air, like a mere background figure.Since Lionel had ordered Lumina to be blacklisted, all those who once courted favor with K Group had severed ties with the company, leaving Lumina on the brink of collapse.While Lionel was listening to Barton's report, his phone rang.It was his father. Immediately, Lionel's face darkened."What is it?" he asked,

    "Joanna, you're drunk! Calm down." Heather's voice was low and firm as he grabbed Joanna's wrist without hesitation, stopping her just as she lunged at him.Was she really drunk? Or just pretending?Heather's sharp tone, coupled with the pain shooting through her wrist, made Joanna freeze. Her dewy eyes instantly filled with tears."You yelled at me? You never raise your voice at me. You never refuse me. What's wrong with you? Don't tell me… your love for me was a lie?"Her lips trembled, and—plop—a single tear slid down her cheek. Joanna's delicate face was full of grievance as she accused Heather of turning against her.She really had gone mad.He had loved her. He had sincerely begged her to stop chasing after Lionel and to stay with him instead. He had been willing to take responsibility for their one-time mistake, promising to make her happy.But she had refused to even look at him, discarding him like a worthless rag.And now, after failing to win another man's love, after feelin

    Joanna burned with jealousy, seething with anger as she stormed in. She grabbed Chloe off the bed and dragged her out, ready to feed her to the wolves.Bitch!Normally, Joanna could let things slide, but not now. What the hell was this? She'd just had a miscarriage a week ago, barely gotten back home, and now she was back in bed with a man?!Joanna cursed Chloe fiercely in her mind, but then, oddly, a sense of satisfaction crept in. She knew that a woman who had just miscarried shouldn't be anywhere near a man in bed. That was basic knowledge. But the fact that Lionel didn't care about Chloe's condition, that he was dragging her into bed as soon as he got home—well, that only proved one thing: he saw her as nothing more than a tool.If he truly loved her, he would have been more considerate!This meant that in Lionel's eyes, Chloe was nothing special either!Ha!
