Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 68: Explanation
Nolan's POV.*** FLASHBACK: 30 MINUTES AGO ***"Martin! Martin!" I continuously turned the pages of the document, my eyes carefully scanning each letter and calling out.Martin's desk was right next to my office door, so whenever I called loudly, he would come in immediately. However, after calling for the third time with no response, I furrowed my brows and lifted the phone to call the secretary's office.At this moment, my room door was pushed open without a single knock and the hand holding the phone receiver immediately stopped."What are you doing here?"My eyebrows furrowed tightly, my entire face showing displeasure, but I managed to control my emotions quite well without raising my voice at the person who had just walked in. "Next time, if you want to see me, make an appointment with my secretary. My office is not a place where anyone can come in."Finishing my sentence, I continued to bend down to resume my unfinished work. I thought this cold attitude of mine was enough to w
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 69: Upheavals of JW Kingston Group
Nolan's POV.The bidding had just ended not long ago, and news of JW Kingston Corporation's loss spread all over social media; there were even articles published about it.After Martin received a call from a member of the board of directors, he and I immediately returned to the company and held an emergency meeting. This news was completely contrary to the expectations of the shareholders as we had committed to an important project about to be launched, leading to the continuous decline in the company's stock price in just over an hour.As I sat down at the desk, I rubbed my temples tiredly and tapped my fingers on the table. My voice was steady as I addressed Martin, "How's the stock?""At the end of today's trading session, it suffered the most significant drop in the past 5 years." Martin paused as he looked at the iPad screen."Have the board of directors and shareholders arrived?"The room fell silent, and I felt frustrated not receiving Martin's answer. "I'm asking you!""Sir, I
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 70: Retribution
Rosalynn’s POV.At the hospital.As soon as the car stopped, I clutched my pregnant belly and rushed inside the hospital so quickly that Anne and Alex couldn't catch up. When I received the call from Martin, I dropped the water cup in my hand and hurried out of the house out of fear.Nolan had passed out in his office after the shareholders' meeting ended.He was coughing up blood.And now he was still in the operating room.Every word from Martin seemed to crush my heart. Throughout the journey, I blamed myself for neglecting Nolan for so many days. Since the company faced turmoil, every time I came home, Nolan seemed exhausted, but I always pushed him away and kicked him out of the room, even though he tried his best to please me.Oh, Rosalynn Carter, you were such a fool then. I should have been more of a spiritual support for him rather than being jealous of Christine."Martin, how is he? What did the doctor say? Could it be that the outcome isn't as predicted?" I clung to Martin
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 71: Sudden incident
Rosalynn’s POV."Did you dare splash water on me?" Christine, soaked from head to toe, stood up with an extremely disdainful look.My actions had attracted many other customers in the café, and some even started recording with their phones.Instinctively, I hugged my pregnant belly and slammed it onto the table, my voice dripping with anger, "Do you think I'll be weak, crying and afraid of you? Who taught you this cowardly threatening tactic to provoke me? Kristen, your sister, huh? I believe Nolan has explained everything clearly to you about us, so please stop these meaningless actions, Christine.""Even with the pregnancy result, you still don't believe me?" Christine grabbed a towel from the server and wiped the orange juice off her.I spoke firmly, "I don't believe you. Unless Nolan tells me directly, I won't trust anyone."Though I was shaken by the pregnancy test result, I still denied what she said. I didn't show fear to the enemy because that was a weakness she could exploit
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 72: The Unchangeable Truth
Rosalynn’s POV.A FEW HOURS AGO.The scene before my eyes was the familiar piano classroom with Liam's gentle face. He gathered up the music sheets and helped me stand, his gaze shifting to my pregnant belly with a voice full of concern.“How's the baby doing? Your belly is getting bigger, so we can schedule your piano lessons at your home. I don’t mind driving a bit further.”I unconsciously rubbed my belly and a happy smile spread across my face, “The baby is developing very well. The doctor said I need to be more active as the due date approaches, so the delivery will be easier.”Liam opened the door for me and followed after locking the classroom door. Adjusting the scarf around his neck, he said, “After you give birth, I'll arrange a meeting for you with Uncle Philippe. He’ll be coming to Las Vegas soon.”“Mr. Wilson? Really? I’d be thrilled to see him again.” I couldn’t hide the joy in my eyes as I turned to grab Liam’s arm.I almost jumped up in excitement.“Careful, Rosa. You’
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 73: Hatred in the Eyes
Rosalynn’s POV.The police station had been filled with the sound of my heart-wrenching cries for half an hour. By the time my throat was raw and dry, I weakly leaned against the female officer, my eyes red and still streaming with tears.The more I looked towards Liam’s desk, the more I felt a pain as if my heart had been ruthlessly crushed.Just yesterday, we were playing the piano together, laughing and having fun. No, even in my dream just now, I saw his gentle face.Liam was the only person in this world who truly cared for me. The pain suffocating me now was the agony of losing my family.“Officer, is there really no other clue about the accident? What about the driver who hit him? How is he now?” I slowly sat up, wiping away my tears, and asked the officer.She probably wasn’t in charge of the case and didn’t know the details. While she was still searching for Michael, he appeared behind me and handed me the entire case file, saying, “Take a look.”Michael sat down and pushed a
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 74: The Curse
Nolan's POV. "Get out!" Rosalynn screamed through her tears, throwing everything on the nearby table at me in a frenzy. I stood motionless, watching her in agony, my heart tightening in pain. In that moment, my throat was so tight that I couldn't utter a word. Seeing the back of her hand bleeding from the dislodged IV line, I hurried over to restrain her actions, "Calm down, Rosalynn. You need to think about our child too." "My child will never accept a murderer like you as a father!" Her eyes were bloodshot, and she glared at me with hatred. Her decisive words pierced my heart. Gently brushing her disheveled hair, I couldn't accept seeing the Rosalynn I cherished like a beautiful doll in such a miserable state. As I leaned down to kiss her forehead, she bit my arm hard. "I know you can't come to terms with Liam's sudden death, but the police have concluded that it was an accident. Stay in the hospital for a few days to recuperate." I pressed my lips together and stroked her hea
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 75: Shattered Glass
Rosalynn’s POV. My hands turned cold and clammy. Everyone crowded at my door, watching the horrifying chaos unfold. Clutching the shattered glass in my hand, I raised it high and brought it down swiftly, stopping just a centimeter away from leaving a long gash on Christine's beautiful face. Time and again, I swallowed hard and gritted my teeth, staring at her with eyes filled with hatred. The shard had cut into my palm, and blood slowly dripped down, landing right on Christine’s cheek. She lay motionless on the floor and let me pin her down. "Give Liam back to me!" I screamed, tightening my grip on the glass and grabbing her collar with one hand. This pain was nothing compared to the shattering of my heart. This damned woman dared to come to me with mocking and insincere condolences. I knew she wanted me to lose control, and my crazed actions were exactly what she aimed for. Christine shook her head and her face became pale. Her lips trembled as she forced out the words, "Rosalyn

Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 106: Reunion
One year later.In London.“Hailey, Ryan, stop running around!”“It’s raining. Hurry up and get inside!”I sipped on my hot tea and watched Marie trying to keep the two kids in line. As I saw the rain splashing against the clear glass window, I thought about getting up to fetch an umbrella for them, but Nolan stopped me.“Just relax, I already gave them one. Hailey will come inside soon—she hates getting wet in the rain.” He set a plate of pastries in front of me and sat down beside me.Then, he rested his head against my large, round belly and playfully asked, “Son, have you been making mommy tired today?”That’s right, I was nine months pregnant, and the little one inside me was a boy. Every night, I eagerly awaited his arrival, imagining his face and thinking he would probably look just like his dad, Nolan. The doctor said my due date was approaching soon, so I had to be careful with every move I made.I ran my fingers through Nolan’s soft, short hair, teasingly saying, “I think yo
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 105: The Rescue
Rosalynn’s POV.A musty smell enveloped me as I slowly opened my eyes, realizing I was tied up. My heart skipped a beat when I remembered my daughter.Just then, something soft brushed against me. I looked down and saw Hailey lying next to me, fast asleep. Relief washed over me, but my head still throbbed, likely from the lingering effects of the sedative.I sat up and scanned the room. It was clear—we’d been kidnapped.But who would dare pull this off so close to Nolan’s estate? And how did they slip past Alex’s guard?“You’re awake, huh?” A woman’s voice echoed through the room as the door to this dingy warehouse creaked open.Being a pianist, I was more sensitive to sounds than most, and my memory of voices was sharp. I recognized her immediately without needing to look, “Christine Watson. You should be locked up in the police station awaiting trial. How did you escape?”Christine let out a loud, deranged laugh, “If I told you Nolan had mercy on me and didn’t hand me over to the po
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 104: Pleading guilty
At the Watson family mansion.Nolan's POV.“What the hell are you doing? Let my father go. Do you have an arrest warrant, or are you just barging into our home?”As I stepped into the Watson family's grand hall, Christine’s screams echoed loudly. She showed her sharp and aggressive side in front of the officers arresting Kyle. That sweet, gentle expression of hers, it seemed, only ever appeared when she was with me.The moment she saw me, Christine’s eyes lit up as if she had found a savior. She rushed over to me and pleaded, “Nolan, please! There must be some mistake. Tell them to release my father.”I pulled my hand away, not hiding the annoyance on my face, “Enough, Christine.”“What?” She froze, looking at me with confusion in her eyes, “What do you mean?”The officer beside me presented the arrest warrant and said firmly, “Mr. Kyle Watson is suspected of orchestrating the fire at the Kingston mansion 27 years ago. And Miss Christine Watson, you are believed to be an accomplice fo
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 103: Decoding
Rosalynn's POV.Early afternoon on Saturday, I impatiently sat in the living room of Nolan's mansion and waited for the team to decrypt the USB I had just found. Looking at the clock as the minutes ticked by, I kept walking back and forth so continuously that Hailey got dizzy and she frowned at me.“Rosa, can you stop walking? You're influencing me to study!” She pouted at me, holding a crayon on her hip, looking very adorable.Today I braided Hailey's hair into pigtails. Every time she bent down to study, the ends of her hair will wiggle with each movement of her pen.I sat down and hugged Hailey and kissed her head affectionately, “I'm sorry, sweetie. So now I'll sit quietly and watch you study, is that okay?"Hailey nodded and then held up the painting she had just completed for me to see with bright eyes. It seems that since childhood, she has loved painting. She is very sensitive to mixing colors, more interested in pictures than numbers. One day when I went to school to pick her
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 102: Conflicts repeat
Rosalynn's POV.Mark seemed scared by Nolan's appearance as his face turned pale and all of his aggressive appearance was gone. He glared at his wife and then grabbed his suitcase to leave the house, but Nolan's large body was blocking the door.He didn't dare to speak to Nolan, so he turned and walked back to his room, then slammed the door hard.Mark's wife, her name was Rachael, immediately collapsed to the floor and covered her face, crying helplessly. I moved closer to comfort her, and at the same time, Riley's room door also opened.The little girl, her face filled with tears, ran out and hugged me and her mother. Perhaps I always deeply sympathize with Riley because her eyes are exactly the same as when I was adopted by the Carter family. Every day there would often be thugs coming to collect debt, they would destroy things and my adoptive parents would have to kneel down to beg them. I once desperately begged everyone to spare our family, but at that time I did not understand
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 101: Midnight call
Rosalynn's POV.In the middle of the large living room, I sat next to Anne and leaned my head on her shoulder like we were once so close. My eyes looked toward the closed piano box, and a ray of pain gently passed through my heart, making the bridge of my nose sting.Anne patted my shoulder and her warm voice rang out, “Mr. Nolan always cleaned this piano himself without anyone touching it, not even Hailey.”“I know that. A few days ago, Hailey revealed it to me.” I chuckled and sat up straight, holding Anne's hand tightly.When she looked at my face again, tears welled up in her eyes and she pursed her lips to control her choking, “Luckily you're alive and well, Rosa. Where have you been lately? It is said that you have found your family, they are very rich and also love you. I was very worried when I heard you left with nothing."I felt the back of Anne's hand. Because of regular housework, combined with her growing age, her skin has shown signs of aging. Listening to her ask a seri
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 100: Sulky
Rosalynn's POV.I clearly understood what Nolan was about to say, as well as being fully aware of the meaning of today's dinner with our little daughter. But making this sudden decision was very difficult for me.When I saw Mark and the man with freckles on his face walking out of the restaurant together, the first thought that popped into my head was to chase them. They were the most important clues in this case that I was quietly working on, and it seemed like my intuition was right.When I arrived at the parking lot, I hid behind a car parked closest to them and kept quiet about their next movements.“Sir, when will I receive the money you said? We are gradually transferring our convenience store. Before the next term starts, I have to transfer my daughter's school. So please hurry up a bit..." The other Mark's voice was filled with flattery.Right after that, another male voice rang out, that of the man with freckles, "Wait a minute. I will arrange your accommodation when you go t
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 99: Family Meal
Nolan's POV.The strong scent of perfume entered my nostrils, making me frown in discomfort. Immediately after, I grabbed Christine's arms and pushed her body, “What the hell are you doing?” I huffed.She was crying with tears streaming down her eyes and her eyes were completely red, but I had been feeling this annoying for a long time.Christine tried to grab my arm even though I pushed her out of the room, “Nolan, do you know what you're doing? We made an appointment last night, but you went to sleep with another woman. She finally…”While scolding me, she pointed at Rosalynn who was sitting up on the bed. Only when her eyes clearly saw Rosalynn did she shut her mouth and her expression revealed an unacceptable look.“That bitch Rosalynn!” She stomped her feet and tried to rush towards the bed, but I quickly grabbed her.Not only was she trembling, but even I felt confused when I saw Christine's presence here. I knew what I was afraid of, what Rosalynn would think about Christine's
Billionaire, Your Pretty Doll Ran Away Chapter 98: Long-Repressed Passion Ignites
[WARNING R-18] THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS.Rosalynn’s POV.After over ten minutes of struggling, I finally managed to get this large man into the elevator. I knew Nolan had a presidential suite on the top floor of the JW Kingston hotel; I just needed him to give me the password to get inside.As we exited the elevator, he started kissing along the side of my face and held me tightly. His hot breath on my skin made me feel flushed.“Nolan, stop messing around.” I pushed his head away after he nibbled on my earlobe.Reaching Nolan's room, I shook him gently and asked, "Hey, what's the room password?"This damned man didn’t answer my question. Instead, he leaned down to bite my lower lip, attempting to kiss me again. Earlier, I had barely managed to push him away to catch my breath, but the drug was taking stronger effect as he clung to my waist.“Damn it!” I lightly tapped his head as he hugged me from behind. Glancing at his face resting on my s
