Accidental One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 32 Audacious
"What's wrong?" Cynthia, noticing Chloe's reaction, followed her gaze and glanced over. "Do you know him?"The man looked so familiar, like she had seen him in a magazine somewhere. Frowning, Cynthia tried to recall."No! How could I possibly know someone that rich?" Chloe denied hurriedly, her words stumbling over each other. She picked up her drink and looked out the window, trying to hide her unease.Lionel! That bastard is like a haunting ghost!In no time, Lionel had already approached."Cynthia, what are you doing here?" The woman next to Lionel, Moira, called out. Moira was a rising star, thanks to a recent drama series, and Cynthia used to be her personal makeup artist.In Moira's eyes, Cynthia, a mere makeup artist, had no business being in such an upscale restaurant."And why shouldn't I be here?" Cynthia shot back, her tone equally unfriendly.Moira was always condescending, and when they worked together, she constantly ordered people around. Now that she was famous, she tr

On the other side, Cynthia and Chloe walked out of the restaurant, exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.Despite the laughter, Chloe couldn't shake her worry.That man was Lionel, after all—a man standing high above, commanding the world like a god. After being humiliated like that by Cynthia in public, Chloe was sure he'd hold her accountable. Her days ahead... well, they certainly weren't going to be easy."Are you worried?" Cynthia noticed Chloe's troubled expression and asked, linking arms with her."Aren't you afraid you might have crossed the wrong person?" Chloe asked instead of answering."Afraid?" Cynthia chuckled. "If I were afraid, would I have thrown that drink in his face? Don't tell me you didn't feel like doing the same!"Chloe smiled softly, thinking to herself, I've already done that before!"Honestly, I regret not asking him to cover my losses tonight! That dinner cost me a whole month's salary!" Cynthia sighed, thinking about how she hadn't

The deafening noise suddenly stopped.The servants, curious but afraid, peered out from their hiding spots. Grace shouted from behind, "What are you doing? Hurry up and get back to work!"The staff, not daring to say a word, quickly resumed their tasks.Chloe was surprised by the sudden silence. Grateful for the peace, she sighed and went to sleep.Since that day, the house had become eerily quiet. Even the air seemed to grow thin and cold. Lionel no longer brought up the incident with Cynthia in which she threw a drink at him. He continued his routine of working from seven in the morning until seven in the evening, while Chloe kept up with her piano teaching.With Blues still closed, Chloe came home before six every day. It seemed like she and Lionel had returned to their initial state, with no interactions between them in either time or space.***One afternoon, while Chloe was teaching one of her students, Lisa Latham, Lisa suddenly came down with a high fever.Chloe had never met

Chloe was someone who enjoyed peace and quiet. Even when her father was alive, she never attended any social gatherings.During college, while her classmates were busy dating and frequenting upscale places, she preferred to stay at home, read books, and tend to her plants. After her father's death, she had to start working hard to support herself.Today, she had originally declined Cynthia's invitation, but Cynthia, who was both persistent and dramatic, threatened, "If you don't come, I'll die in front of you!"Reluctantly, Chloe agreed.Sitting in the luxurious private room, Chloe looked around and realized that everyone was dressed to the nines. Even Cynthia had made an effort to look glamorous, while Chloe herself wore a plain, old knee-length white dress. She felt like a country bumpkin.She shot Cynthia an irritated look, feeling out of place.Cynthia patted her shoulder reassuringly. "You look beautiful no matter what you wear," she said, rising to get some drinks.These were Ch

The boys sat down, and fortunately, the private room was large enough. The U-shaped couch against the wall was spacious, so even with eleven or twelve people, it didn't feel crowded.The atmosphere quickly became lively. Laughter, the clinking of glasses, and playful banter filled the room.Chloe felt uncomfortable in this environment. Even Cynthia was getting involved in the fun, leaving Chloe feeling a bit suffocated. She poured herself a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.Surprisingly, the drink seemed to calm her chaotic thoughts. She reached for the bottle again, skipping the glass this time, and took a swig straight from the bottle.A burning gaze kept sweeping across her face, and though Chloe didn't dare to look, her instincts told her it was coming from Eamonn."Hey, everyone quiet down! Eamonn's got something important to announce today!" one of the boys grabbed the microphone and handed it to Eamonn.All eyes turned to him.Eamonn had graduated from Westridge Universi

Chloe's face turned cold in an instant, the alcohol-induced haze in her mind clearing up slightly.Flora scanned Chloe from head to toe with an air of superiority. "Aren't you supposed to be living the high life now? Why do you look worse than a beggar?"Chloe turned her head away, unwilling to look at the face identical to her own. Sometimes, in moments of impulse, she felt like destroying her own face, ashamed of sharing the same features as Flora."Oh, feeling smug now, huh? You really think you've married into wealth? Don't forget, I'm the one who's officially married to him! The media recognizes me as his wife. You? You're just a replacement. A cheap plaything for a man. You're disappear forever! You'll live your entire life in misery, hidden away.""What are you talking about?" Chloe asked, staring at Flora with a chilling sense of disbelief. How could fate be so cruel to make this person her sibling?What did she mean by disappear forever?Flora sneered, her voice dripping with

Back at the party, only two people remained in the private room—Riva and Flora.The flickering neon lights cast an eerie glow on Flora's face, distorting her features into something almost ghostly.Riva swallowed hard, downed a glass of wine in one gulp, and straightened her back, staring directly at Flora, who looked like she wanted to tear her apart.What was bound to happen would happen, but Riva wasn't afraid. After all, self-preservation was the most basic rule of survival. She hadn't done anything wrong."Riva, we need to talk," Flora said, holding a glass of wine, her face twisted in a sinister expression. The elegant aura of the wealthy wife from earlier had long since vanished.Riva met Flora's gaze without flinching. "I don't think there's anything for us to discuss.""Hah!" Flora let out a chilling laugh. "Nothing to discuss? Do you think I'm an idiot? Need me to remind you?"Without warning, Flora threw the wine in her glass straight at Riva's beautiful face."Flora, don't

In the darkness, a pair of bright eyes stayed fixed on the few figures moving downstairs.Finally, dawn broke.The night had been endlessly long. Chloe felt as if her entire body had fallen apart. She ached all over, her stomach cramped painfully, and her mouth tasted bitter. Her head throbbed like it had been slammed in a door."Ugh..." She turned over, and with a loud thud, she hit the ground."Ouch!" Chloe cried out in pain. Poor back! She had no choice but to open her eyes. A completely unfamiliar environment filled her vision, startling her. She quickly scrambled to sit up.God, where was she?Her hands pressed against something cold. Looking down, she realized she was on the floor!Lifting her gaze, she saw a wooden frame in front of her. On top of the frame was a wooden board, acting as a makeshift bed. Judging by the messy sheets on it, she had probably just fallen off that thing.Rubbing her head, Chloe stood up and looked around. The room was full of tools—hoes, sickles, gar

Joanna stared at Lionel's face—the face she had dreamed about countless times. Her eyes reddened as she whispered, "Back then, I left because I was angry with you. Nothing ever happened between me and Heather! I only involved him to make you jealous and staged that scene to provoke you..."Lionel remained expressionless, as if Joanna's words had nothing to do with him.When no further explanation came, Lionel's lips twitched slightly. "Are you done? You can leave now."The cold detachment in his tone made it clear that to him, she was nothing more than a stranger."Lion! How can you treat me like this?"Joanna's voice trembled, her pretty face on the verge of tears. She impulsively reached out to grab Lionel's hand. "I'm your fiancée, yet you look at me like I'm nobody. Even if you hate me, at least we grew up together as family. How can you act like I'm invisible? Do you know why I left three years ago? It was because you were too cold
Accidental One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 283 Please Forgive Me
"Didn't you already become someone else's 'dad'?" Chloe countered with a question instead of answering. Sometimes, Lionel's jealousy was just too much for her."Do you think that's what I wanted?!" Lionel spat out coldly, his tone icy. "It seems you're quite special to them. If I hadn't come to pick you up today, were you really planning to go back with him and play stepmother?""Lionel, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chloe's anger flared. Lionel's mild jealousy she could chalk up to him caring about her, but this—this wasn't jealousy. It was outright humiliation! "Do you really think I'm that kind of shallow woman?"Her face darkened as she yelled at Barton, "Stop the car. I want to get out!"Barton froze but didn't stop the car, pretending he hadn't heard her.Seeing Chloe's flushed face and the moisture welling in her eyes, Lionel felt a pang in his chest. He suddenly realized he might have gone too far.His grip loosened, an

As Chloe left the art center with Lisa at the end of the workday, they lingered at the entrance for a moment before Marcus arrived."Chloe, thank you so much…" Marcus said warmly as he stepped out of his car, his gratitude evident in his smile."It was nothing," Chloe replied, her lips curving into a faint smile. She couldn't help but take a moment to observe Marcus. Despite the time that had passed, he was still the same man she once knew—handsome, charming, and exuding an aura that made him an ideal partner in the eyes of many women.Yet, behind that polished exterior lay a man who had endured the pain of losing his beloved wife at such a young age. It took extraordinary strength to bury that grief and carry on with his responsibilities."I truly don't know how to thank you," Marcus said, his voice touched with emotion."There's no need," Chloe replied, waving her hands dismissively. "I enjoy spending time with Lisa.""Lisa, i
Accidental One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 281 The Most Important Person
Florence was shopping at the mall. Joanna had returned, and she wanted to pick out an outfit as a gift for her.Having grown up together, they shared similar tastes in brands and styles. Their clothing was always high-end, limited edition pieces that highlighted the elegance and prestige of their upbringing. The kind of outfits that, when worn, exuded sophistication and grace, ensuring they became the center of attention wherever they went.A group of sales assistants hovered around Florence, their golden customer, tirelessly recommending items and gesturing enthusiastically. But Florence was someone with her own strong opinions. No matter how sweetly the saleswomen smiled or how honeyed their words were, Florence remained unmoved unless she truly liked what she saw."Well, shopping for clothes, are we?" A tall figure suddenly appeared, blocking Florence's view.Florence looked up and was greeted by Alex's radiant, sunshine-like smile.Alex?! What
Accidental One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 280 Poor Father And Daughter
Before Chloe found herself in Orchard Village, Flora had already shown signs of mental instability. Due to Chloe's disappearance and Donna's failure to secure a reputable hospital in time, Flora was admitted to a psychiatric institution.That afternoon, Chloe and Donna visited Flora at the hospital. Flora looked significantly thinner and was still in the same state as before—vacant, with a silly grin on her face.Clutching a pillow tightly, she repeatedly called it "baby." When she saw Chloe, her gaze turned dark and menacing. Pointing a trembling finger at Chloe, she lunged forward, screaming, "You evil woman! You killed my child! I'll strangle you!"Several doctors rushed in and restrained her just in time, preventing her nails from scratching Chloe's face.Did Flora still recognize her?Chloe studied Flora's pale face as the doctors held her down. Flora's constant struggling twisted her features grotesquely. Only after being administered a

In the morning, Lionel opened the car door as usual and stepped into his Maybach, ready to head to work."Lion, wait for me."Joanna called out, striding over in a chic plaid winter dress paired with a pure white cashmere vest and knee-high boots. Her wavy hair swayed in the crisp morning breeze with every step.Lionel paused. Joanna met his cold gaze as she confidently slid into the Maybach."Starting today, I'll be working at K Group,"Joanna declared, brushing her hair back casually. Her delicate features, perfectly complemented by just the right amount of makeup, exuded sophistication, elegance, and allure—a vision of beauty capable of capturing any man's attention."Are you joking?"Lionel frowned, his gaze brushing over her charming face without betraying any emotion."I'm serious! With my dual doctorates, do you really think I'm not qualified? Or would you rather I consult Grandfather about this?"Joanna replied con
Accidental One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 278 You're The Rightful One!
Chloe's body stiffened, her shy smile frozen on her face. It had been about ten minutes since Joanna had called for them, and Chloe had assumed she had already gone downstairs. Who would have thought Joanna was still waiting here!Chloe wasn't used to being affectionate with Lionel in front of others.She immediately tried to pry Lionel's hands off her waist, but he tightened his grip instead, his hold becoming even more possessive as if to show off."Lion, Chloe, I thought you didn't hear me," Joanna said with a radiant smile as she gazed at the two of them. The blush on Chloe's cheeks, her slightly swollen lips, and Lionel's brooding, unsatisfied expression were all captured in her perceptive gaze. "Did I... interrupt something?" She stepped back awkwardly, giving way at the door."Oh, no, not at all," Chloe quickly responded, her face flushing even more as Lionel kept his silence, his darkened expression betraying his mood. Unlike him, Chloe wasn't rud
Accidental One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 277 I Only Like You
"Come on, let's get back inside. You're practically turning into an icicle!" Lionel wrapped Chloe in his arms, clasping her delicate hands in his large, warm ones. Holding each other close, they headed into the house, completely ignoring Florence and Joanna standing behind them."Joanna, did you see that? He's not the man he used to be anymore! Even with you here, it's like you don't exist," Florence murmured."How could this happen?" Joanna muttered in disbelief, watching the pair walk away. Shaking her head, she tried to process what she was seeing.Lionel's reaction was not what she had expected. Back when she returned to the country, she had braced herself for his anger, ready to endure his scolding no matter how harsh it was—because she knew she was in the wrong. Yet, all he did was utter a faint grunt, barely glancing at her face before walking away with Chloe in his arms.She wasn't just anyone; she was Joanna! At the very least, he should've
Accidental One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 276 a Stranger
In the hall, two people chatted idly, while Chloe sat alone on the second-floor terrace. She could hear Grace constantly instructing the servants—preparing this, tidying that—and specifically reminding them to make the room on the third floor as comfortable as possible for Joanna.Joanna isn't just a guest here? She has her own room? Chloe frowned slightly, recalling a memory. Once, she had tried to go up to the third floor to sleep, but the moment her hand touched the doorknob, Grace had slapped it away, snapping at her, "That room isn't for you!"So that room belongs to Joanna, Chloe thought wryly.As she sat idly on the terrace, a sudden sound of piano music floated down from the third floor. Startled, Chloe stood up. It wasn't surprising that the Williams family had a piano, but what did surprise her was that she hadn't noticed it until now.The piano notes were crisp and clear, melodious and captivating, played by someone who was clearly a master. Chloe, who hadn't touched a pian
