An Affair with the Billionaire Chapter 63
Alaric calmly replied, "I did. These unknown individuals broke into the orphanage under the guise of Corrigan Holdings, maliciously destroyed property, and intentionally harmed others."The officer looked at the bloodied and bruised thugs. "So, there was a fight?"Alaric remained composed. "We’re all law-abiding citizens here. We don’t engage in illegal activities."The police officer glanced at the thugs. "And the blood on them?"Before Alaric could answer, the thug with the large gold chain clung to the officer’s leg."I fell and hurt myself! Please, sir, arrest me!"The man quickly got up and opened the door of the police car, waving eagerly at the chief, "Chief, let’s hurry this up!"The other thugs scrambled to follow, begging as they chased after the police car, "Sir, take us with you too!"The police officers stood there, dumbfounded. It was the first time they had seen people begging to be arrested."There’s too many of you. You won’t all fit in one car," the chief said, stil

Alaric chuckled softly, “Is that what you call thanking me? Even the grandma at the village gate is more enthusiastic than you.”At that, Emerald hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him firmly with her red lips. Since that night at the Altitude Hotel, the two hadn't been intimate again. They were like embers that had never fully gone out, just needing a slight breeze to ignite again. And it would burn even hotter than before.Emerald could clearly feel her desire for this man. It wasn’t about love, just pure, instinctual need. She missed a man—more precisely, she missed Alaric’s body. He had won this game. After tasting him once, Emerald craved more and more.Their lips and teeth intertwined, like two obsessed lovers. The tension between them grew uncontrollably, making Emerald forget where they were—until the car suddenly stopped, forcing them to pull apart. Emerald’s body fell forward but was yanked back into his arms with great force.The young driver, trembling with fear, st

He knew this was her weakness, so he kissed Emerald’s delicate neck. Her arms trembled slightly, struggling to match the tenderness of his touch."Alaric, I can sleep with you as many times as you want, but I only have one heart. If you lose it, you can never get it back." She murmured softly, her voice as lazy as a cat's. "Alaric, can I be your lover?"The way she said it was so casual, as if she were merely commenting on the moon being bright in the sky. When Alaric looked at her, despite Emerald’s attempts to hide it, he saw the unmistakable sadness and weariness deep in her eyes."No, baby," he rejected her again. "If you're trying to thank me for what I did for the kids, it's not necessary. I was just doing what needed to be done, that wasn’t really helping."Emerald didn’t quite understand. She knew the clothes he had prepared in his penthouse were for her. Why had his attitude suddenly changed?"What exactly do you mean?""James likes you very much. I want you to take care of h

Honestly, his self-control was quite impressive. He hadn’t made any moves in the past few days. In fact, sometimes it was Emerald who had more thoughts about it.Biting her lip, Emerald hesitated to speak.Sensing her discomfort, Alaric asked softly, “Is everything alright?”“It’s just... a bit much.” Emerald stammered, gesturing helplessly with her hands.It was rare to see Emerald like this—flustered and embarrassed. Alaric smiled as he looked at her. “What’s wrong?”“It might... stain your pants.” Emerald muttered softly, stammering.Alaric chuckled lightly. “Why are you so nervous? It’s just a pair of pants.”“That’s not what I meant. It’s just... very messy.” Emerald avoided his gaze, her voice dropping to a near whisper.Alaric placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.“There’s nothing dirty about your body.”Emerald blinked in surprise, finding it hard to believe. She thought men were usually uncomfortable with this kind of conversation. Suddenly, Emerald felt herself getting heavi

As Ethan approached, he noticed Alaric bent over inside the car. At first, he thought Alaric was reaching for something, but as he got closer, he realized there was a woman tucked underneath him. Everyone knew Alaric had no interest in women. In the past few years, no one had seen a woman by his side. No one knew the real identity of the twins' mother, a detail that had never been made public. Ethan was shocked by the scene he had just witnessed. The man who was always calm and distant seemed quite entertained by the private moment. Ethan couldn't see the woman's face, only her thin arms wrapped around Alaric's neck. Two long legs poked out from the slit of her dress, still wrapped around Alaric’s waist. Her toes, painted a vibrant red, gently nudged him nervously. It looked like she was trying to pull away, but to an outsider, it seemed like a reluctant yet seductive struggle—a moment filled with tension and ambiguity.Ethan’s first thought was: This girl is so fair. Her legs, hoo

Half an hour later.When Alaric went upstairs, he found Emerald on the terrace, speaking softly on the phone."I really don’t have a choice. I need the money. Can you come by tomorrow for a house inspection? There’s a place closer to the kindergarten that’s available for rent... Alright, let’s finalize it then."After hanging up, Emerald stared at her phone, lost in thought. Her face reflected a mixture of sadness and hesitation.Alaric waited for her to snap out of her thoughts before he approached her."Did you have the cake?"Emerald turned to him, quickly masking her sadness. She smiled gently, her pale complexion glowing softly. Her voice was sweet, with no trace of sorrow."No, I was waiting for you."Alaric walked closer, staring into Emerald's smiling face. "Anything you want to ask?"For instance, why Ethan called him 'uncle,' or the reason for his visit.Emerald’s smile widened. The soft light from the wall lamp highlighted her face, making her glow even more. But her aura r

After a day of rest, Emerald's mindset returned to its sharp state. Ethan had belittled her over and over again, repeatedly reminding her that she was just an ordinary person with slightly better skills, incapable of making a real impact. His deception was clear: I’m your best option—don’t even think of escaping, or you’ll end up with nothing.Emerald stared at a painting she had created years ago. When day meets night, a crimson sun breaks through the darkness, bringing light to the world. From now on, she would be the light guiding her own life. The days of being controlled by others were over.What’s a mere man, anyway?Emerald dialed a number and spoke, “Hey, it’s me. Is your previous offer still open?”The voice on the other end was full of excitement. “Ms. Greene, it seems you’ve come to your senses. It’s such a waste of talent for someone like you to be a kindergarten teacher. Join me, and I’ll make you a world-renowned designer.”Emerald chuckled softly. “Ivy, I love teaching

Emerald hadn’t expected Iris to give her such a lecture."I’m your friend, and Gio’s your friend too, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about."Emerald had long noticed who Gio really was. There weren’t many people with the last name “Corrigan” who could casually drive expensive cars like they were toys. Why would someone like him help move his girlfriend’s friend’s belongings?But to her surprise, Gio arrived promptly, and Iris smiled, "Let’s head back to your apartment. The strong guys are on their way."Emerald swallowed. Had she been wrong in her assumptions? Not all rich people were like Ethan. Maybe some were genuinely kind?Soon, Gio arrived. As Emerald packed up her clothes, she heard a lively voice, "Teacher Greene, this painting is beautiful! Could you sell it to me?"Another voice responded, low and calm, "Are you here to help or to rob?"Emerald paused mid-zip and looked up. Their eyes met.Alaric was there, wearing a pair of sports shorts. His loose black T-shirt, dam

An Affair with the Billionaire The End
At night, after Emerald had fallen asleep, she would secretly call her mother—until Alaric caught her in the act.At the shareholders' meeting, Alaric eliminated four people and uncovered the one who had been secretly buying up scattered shares.It was Griffin.In a final twist, Mr. Corrigan betrayed him, and Griffin realized too late that he had been played.Alaric regarded him with an icy stare. “Did you really think I’d invite you here for anything else?”He took slow, deliberate steps toward Griffin. “You wanted Teacher Greene to forget me. But in the end, she forgot you instead. You schemed and plotted, but did you ever consider that this would be the outcome?”Griffin let out a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with resentment. “Alaric, you’re unbelievably lucky. Fate favors you—again.”His voice turned sharp with frustration. “Why does it always have to be you?”Alaric’s expression remained unreadable. “I know you blame me. You think your father abandoned you and your son.”Griffin

Now that Alaric had decided to marry Emerald, he naturally had to address the issue of inheritance.He had promised that he wouldn’t let Emerald suffer any injustice.James was thrilled but hesitant to believe it. He looked up at her cautiously and asked, “Can I really call you that?”Emerald knew that despite his tough exterior, he was actually very sensitive.She crouched down, gently running her fingers through James’s hair. “Of course, if you want to.”Without hesitation, James threw himself into her arms. “I do! Of course, I do—Mom.”His tears fell onto her neck, and Emerald’s lips curved into a soft smile.I just got a son this big out of nowhere.James was so attached to her that even when they walked, he would hook his little fingers around hers.It all felt like a dream.When Emerald looked up, she noticed Jamilah standing on the terrace, silently watching her. Their eyes met for a brief moment before Jamilah quickly turned away.James sighed and explained, “Mom, my sister ha

"Get ready, that’s where we’re landing," Alaric whispered in her ear.As they descended, Emerald noticed the intricate details within the rose fields—windmills, charming fairy-tale cottages, and delicate pathways weaving through the flowers.It was the kind of place that would go viral the moment people saw it—a dreamlike destination straight out of a storybook.Under Alaric’s steady control, they landed smoothly on the soft grass. The moment Emerald unbuckled her harness, she threw her arms around him, holding him close.The air was thick with the intoxicating scent of roses, and amidst it all, she could hear the steady rhythm of his heartbeat."Emerald Greene, I will never let anything hurt you again. From now on, I will make sure you're happy—forever.""Mm. I believe you.""Wow! This is straight out of a movie!" Iris gasped, pinching Gio’s arm. "I must be dreaming—this kind of romance isn’t even this dramatic in films!"Gio winced. "Ow!""That hurt!""Of course, it hurts! You pinch

Iris, still stunned, turned to stare at him. "Wait… is he that rich? So rich that he could casually win the title of ‘Little Prince’ or something?""He is the one who is the one who is the one.""Brother, why didn’t you tell me he was this handsome?! He’s so young and fair-skinned—he looks like he stepped straight out of an anime! Not a trace of that tacky, nouveau riche vibe at all."Even Emerald was taken aback, though not nearly as much as Iris.Noticing that the young man wasn’t much older than herself, she stepped forward, bent down, and offered him a hand."Are you okay?" she asked.Yngrid grabbed her hand and stood up, flashing a bright, friendly smile. “Don’t worry! Second Sister-in-law, you’re so beautiful! So gentle! No wonder Second Brother has been thinking about you for years—he finally got you.”Alaric frowned, glancing at the knife embedded in the table. “How many times have I told you? Stop running around with a knife in your hand.”Yngrid looked utterly clueless. “But

Emerald was sharp enough to catch the implication. This man was clearly from the Corrigan, but how could he be Alaric’s second brother?Nancy smiled. "It’s a long story. Sister-in-law, come inside quickly. Gabbi has been preparing all morning to welcome you."Gio, who was usually the most lively among them, suddenly looked uncharacteristically serious and polite. "Sorry to trouble you, then."Nancy turned his gaze to the other guest. "Welcome. You must be Ms. Benitez."Iris straightened up, her usual playfulness replaced by a bit of nervousness. "That’s me. Hello, hello."As the group walked inside, Gio trailed behind, but Iris discreetly poked his waist. "Who is he? You seem a little scared of him."She had met Gio’s friends many times, but she had never seen him act this cautious.Gio lowered his voice. "You may not recognize him, but you’ve definitely heard of the Medical Research Institute."Iris froze. "You mean the world’s number one pharmaceutical company?"Her mind was spinnin

The sun shone brightly, and magpies chirped from the branches—a perfect day.Iris, already waiting downstairs, let out a low whistle. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Interlocked fingers? Teacher Greene, Mr. Corrigan, could you two be any sweeter?”Caught off guard, Emerald instinctively tried to pull her hand away.But Alaric tightened his grip. “Don’t let go.”Her cheeks flushed, and she nodded. “Okay.”Iris was about to whistle again when Gio quickly clamped a hand over her mouth. “For the love of god, stop teasing them. My Alaric is the most patient guy—until he’s not.”Iris blinked. “Huh? But Mr. Corrigan seems so refined and gentlemanly.”Gio scoffed. “That’s just for women. When it comes to me, he’s got a double standard.”Clearly, Gio had endured Alaric’s ruthlessness one too many times. If Iris kept poking fun at him, Alaric would undoubtedly find a way to get back at them both.Completely oblivious, Iris had no idea what was happening. She tried to push Alaric into the front passenger seat,

"I won’t say things like that again," she murmured. "If I do, I’m not just belittling myself—I’m belittling your love, too.""That’s right." Alaric rubbed her head gently. "The past is heavy baggage. If you can, let it go. The future will be so much better."She smiled. "Your little Greene has finally grown up.""You have a daddy boyfriend, so you have to grow up."Emerald wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice soft. "Thank you… for teaching me how to love.""It’s my greatest honor to receive Teacher Greene’s love."Their eyes met, the space between them shrinking as they leaned in—Then Alaric’s phone rang.He exhaled sharply, turning it off without hesitation."Sorry. Let’s pick up where we left off."The caller was persistent. Emerald sighed, nudging Alaric playfully. "Go on, Mr. Busy."He had already spent so much time with her over the past two days, and she was more than content.But Alaric never returned after heading to his study. Emerald waited alone until eleven o’clock
An Affair with the Billionaire Chapter 195
At first, Emerald worried that Gio was just fooling around and that Iris would end up getting hurt. But later, through Alaric, she realized that Gio was genuinely working hard for their future.It was only then that Emerald recognized how extreme her past views had been—believing that marriage was a trap and love was nothing more than fleeting sweetness.Iris, in her simplicity, had understood something far earlier than she did: love is about two people growing together, striving toward a shared future.Even someone like Iris, who had spent years drifting through life, was now determined to change. And that alone was a good start.Gio had seen all kinds of people in his world, but it was Iris—pure and untainted, like a blank canvas—who truly captured his heart. She made him want to protect her.Now, Emerald could finally put her worries to rest.The so-called unreliable playboy hadn’t even touched Iris all this time. That fact alone proved he was someone she could trust."Ember, I'm n

Alaric stared coldly at the woman standing before him, utterly unfazed by her desperation."It doesn't matter who it is. I don’t owe you an explanation."Yngrid’s emotions spiraled out of control again, but before she could lash out, Winston’s expression darkened. The usual elegance in his demeanor vanished, replaced by an icy sharpness."Do you need me to remind you of your place?" he said, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade.Emerald watched the scene unfold, quickly deducing that Winston held Yngrid’s fate in his hands. Yngrid’s reluctance was obvious, but in the end, she had no choice but to submit.She took slow, deliberate steps toward Emerald. "Emerald… I’m sorry for what happened," she forced out. "I apologize."Emerald didn’t miss the unwillingness in Yngrid’s eyes. And to be honest, she had no desire to accept it.But she also knew that she had finally convinced Alaric to reconcile, and the partnership with the Santos had been secured. Yngrid’s presence here w
