Billionaire's Pampered Surrogate chapter 12
Chapter 12 Olivia did not know what was going on. She walked over and took the newspaper from one of the servants. There were bold headings in black and white that were hard to ignore. “The most sought-after bachelor is already taken.” “The prince charming of the city is off the market.” “The CEO of Reid Corporation is set to marry a mysterious woman. The two are said to have been together for a couple of years.” Looking at the articles splashed in the newspaper, the memories of everything that had happened yesterday evening came crashing into Olivia’s mind. What was going on? Although the photo in the newspaper was blurry, Olivia knew for a fact that it was her. Ethan had announced that she was his fiancee and just in one night, the news had spread all over, even in the newspaper. The servants kept on congratulating her as they looked at her in awe. She had only been with their master for three days and he was already set to marry her? This woman was not as simple as they thou

Chapter 13 With Ethan’s anger unleashed, his assistant did not dare to hesitate. He immediately took out his phone and started to issue a series of commands, ordering people to find out where the news originated from. He especially wanted to find the man who claimed that Olivia was a gold digger and probably have a ‘little chat’ with him. That woman looked naive, there was no way she would know how to con someone. He could still remember how she had questioned his boss’s morality after realizing that she had been bought, there was no way she could have a scheming mind. If that was true, she could not have lived such a pathetic life. This was the first time he has seen his boss angered because of someone. It seemed that his boss still had a heart, after all, and he especially cared about his surrogate. “It’s done. The investigation has started and we will have something soon.” the assistant said as he looked at his boss who had a gloomy expression on his face. Although he was cur

Chapter 14 “Are you the patient’s family?” the lead doctor, who was slightly older was probably the only person who was not intimidated by Ethan’s aura. He looked on with a serious face and there was nothing but a stern expression on his face. “Your sister is barely holding on. She has severe gastritis and yet she does not maintain a healthy lifestyle. If they had brought her in any minute late than they did, then it would be a different story.” the doctor said in seriousness. Ethan frowned at the doctor’s words especially when he called Olivia his sister. He was just about to refute when he realized that Olivia was only in her second year of the University and besides, that was not his main concern now. “What did you say?” Ethan asked. He had done a background check on Olivia and knew everything there was to know about her. He even drew up her family tree up to the fifth ancestor, how could he have missed something so important? “Her stomach is riddled with holes and besides, sh

Chapter 15 Olivia slept until the next morning. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Ethan sleeping on the single sofa with a laptop on his thigh. His neck was tilted and his head was resting on his right arm while the other held the laptop. You could tell that he was exhausted as there were dark circles around his eyes even if they were closed. Although it was early in the morning and the man looked like a mess from exhaustion, his devilishly handsome face was as charming as ever, making Olivia’s heart skip a bit. But then, her expression fell. Why did she see the very face she loathed the moment she opened her eyes? Don’t tell her that the man had been sleeping here the whole night. She looked around and realized that she was not in the master room bedroom. Although the room she was in was elegant, it carried the hospital scent that was hard to miss. Memories of what happened flashed through her mind, making Olivia clutch her head painfully. The video of that b

Chapter 16 She was supposed to be hating him and wanting absolutely nothing to do with him. What was with the warm feeling that was bubbling in her heart now? “What is wrong, are you feeling unwell?” Ethan asked with concern when he saw that her face had turned pale. “No, I am fine. It’s just… that I have woken up and my eyes are yet to adjust to the light.” Olivia found a random excuse. “I want to rest, please. Can I have the room alone?” she inquired in a small voice. She did not dare look at the man for fear that he might notice her vulnerability. “Okay. I will be going to work but, call me if you need anything. Don’t be shy.” Ethan spoke as he looked at the woman on the hospital bed. Although he had spent the night in the hospital, he was not tired at all. He was in fact, feeling so energetic that his mood was practically on the bright side. He did not wait for Olivia to reply and quietly left the room. He did not want to scare her since she had just woken up. John, who had

Chapter 17 ‘Ha ha ha brother, thank you for making this easier for me than it should have been.’ Nathan laughed in his heart. If he had known that one scandal would make these people change their minds so easily, he would have done this earlier. “Now, it is time to cast a vote. We are fifteen people in total and if Nathan surpasses the half-mark, then he will be our new CEO.” “Those in favor of Nathan, please move to my right side while those in favor of Ethan please move to my left side.” The man who was leading the exercise shouted. People started to move around. Those who had been brainwashed by Nathan moved to the right side without question. It was certain that he had probably promised them a lot of benefits since they betrayed Ethan without a second thought. There was also another group that believed in Ethan’s leadership. Those are the people who have been with him through thick and thin and they knew that he was not someone to be shaken so easily. They moved to the man’s

Chapter 18 Collaborating with JJ was their key to entering the international markets. JJ was not just a household name, it was the largest company in the whole world and it carried the economic fate of many developed and developing countries. The remaining directors cheered. They never imagined that their boss would have achieved something they had all deemed impossible. When he first approached them with the idea, they had all thought that their boss was having an impossible dream. Who would have thought that not a year has passed and they already have a slice of JJ on their table? “We should release the news. With this, we should not worry about our stock price not making a comeback.” Simon said as a rare smile appeared on his aged face. “I think we should wait,” Ethan said after thinking about something. “But boss, you just…” “Trust me. If we wait, it will be even more spectacular and the impact would be even greater.” Ethan said as he revealed a mysterious smile. The direc

Chapter 19 “Mr. Reid, are sure about everything you just said right now? Are you trying to tarnish your brother’s reputation because he fired you?” “I know my brother more than anyone and I know what he is capable of,” Nathan said arrogantly. The reporters almost laughed out loud when they heard him. They had been talking to him with respect a moment ago but now, they could not hide the disgust they felt towards him. For them, they did not care whether a piece of news was true or false. As long as they got something to write about, they would always choose the winning side. And now, it was apparent who the winner was. “If you know your brother as much as you claim, why didn’t you know that he already signed the contract with JJ Corp, and now the two companies are working together?” A reporter asked. He wanted to end this interview so that he could rush to camp at Reid Corp. He did not want to miss an exclusive with Ethan in case he showed up. “Ha ha ha, you must be out of your

Chapter 80 On the day of the trial, Olivia, Ethan, Tom, and other important board members gathered in the court. They had already recovered the funds so; it was time for Nathan and his minions to face judgment for their actions. Almost a month had passed. Zari appeared haggard and older than her age. Her eyes were puffed and she seemed as if she had been crying a good one in jail. Luke appeared as thin as a stick and he could be easily carried away by the wind. But no one was feeling mercy for them. They were just paying for their actions. Yusuf had his head lowered. He did not dare look at Tom or Olivia. No one knew what was going on in his mind. He had requested to see Tom and Olivia a few times over the past month, but they had refused his request. Especially Tom. He was still recovering from the fact that someone he saw as a son had actually betrayed him, and almost caused him to lose his only granddaughter. The only person who appeared at ease was probably Nathan. He was no
Billionaire's Pampered Surrogate chapter 79
Chapter 79 Although Olivia had been kidnapped and Nathan had said all kinds of confusing words to her, Olivia was not afraid. She was confident that Ethan will be finding her as soon as possible. Her earring had a GPS tracker but only Ethan, her grandfather, and herself knew about it. Also, Ethan taught her to always carry something that she can use to protect herself, after the snake accident. She has always carried a Swiss knife in her clothes, and not even her security knew about it. After knowing that the man would not come back any time soon, Olivia used all her wits and finally managed to get the Swiss knife in her hands. Her grandfather had given it to her. He said that it was made of special material and it could cut through anything. And true to his words, the ropes that were used to tie her up were now in pieces as Olivia looked at them with cold eyes. Olivia’s eyes had already adjusted to the darkness and after freeing herself, she looked around, trying to find a way o

Chapter 78 “Nathan!” Olivia slowly called out the man’s name. “Huh, you still remember me?” Nathan asked as he chuckled devilishly. The scars on his face cracked when he laughed, leaving him with a scary look. Olivia looked at the man she had almost forgotten that he existed and her heart sank. Was he back to exert revenge on what happened back then? Why now? Where had he been all these years? “What happened to you?” Olivia asked as she looked at the man’s face which was full of scars. “Ha ha, what happened to me? Don’t you know what happened to me when you abandoned me and left with my brother? I thought that you were a damsel in distress and I was willing to cross my brother, just so that I could help you. Who would have thought that you will be such an unappreciative bitch?” “I also never knew that you had such a strong background. If I had known, I would not have let you go back then.” “What do you want from me? Money, sure, I can give it to you no matter how much you want

Chapter 77 Tom looked at Yusuf and furrowed his eyebrows. He did not like the sound of that. “What is it?” “Take a look at this,” Yusuf said as he tossed a pile of documents on top of Tom’s desk. The killing intent in his eyes had not dwindled, and he looked like he could not wait to shoot someone. Tom looked through the documents. After he finished, he slammed it on the desk and looked at Yusuf. Anger was spitting through his eyes, and he almost reached for his gun. “What is the meaning of this?” he angrily questioned. “Master, I have never believed for once that Olivia would do this to you. After we caught Luke, he said a bunch of crap, and just to be sure, I went ahead and raided his house, and these are everything I found. I rushed here immediately because I did not want you to be deceived anymore.” “See, there are DNA reports, stating clearly that Olivia is not your granddaughter. If you look at the dates, it is before you found her and even performed the DNA test. But the

Chapter 76 When Olivia left the office, all the workers were waiting outside the door, looking at her with fear in their eyes. “Boss, is it true that the company accounts have been emptied and we are about to be sent packing?” Olivia frowned when she heard that. “What nonsense are you talking about?” “The accounts manager has already resigned and she told us that there is nothing that can be done about it. Someone stole the company’s money and there is no way of getting it back.” “Oh my God, what am I going to do about my mom’s hospital bill? They just called yesterday and told me that the bill is overdue.” “My son was sent home yesterday because of school fees, and I told him that he will report to school the day after tomorrow. What am I going to do if we are not paid?” “My bills…” “My rent…” “The Shylock will definitely cut my head off.” The workers started to protest that Olivia felt her head almost bursting. Everyone was shouting and they had sandwiched her in the midd

Chapter 75 At Palmer’s Mansion, inside Tom’s study room. There was a stifling feeling in the air as Tom listened to Olivia recount what had happened. When she finished, he flung his fist on the table, making the wooden table almost snap into two. His nose flared up and he was trembling from anger. “Insolent! How dare he steal from me, Thomas Palmer? Who gave him the courage?” “Grandfather, calm down, please. We still don’t know the concrete situation of what really transpired. What we need right now is to find that man as soon as possible.” Olivia went to her grandfather and held him. He had a heart condition and having his emotions worked up was not good for him. He needed to calm done, only then will he think. “I have already ordered the bank to freeze his accounts. The moment he tries to do any transaction, we will know where he is.” Ethan said from the side, as he looked at the old man. Tom took out his phone and sent an orange alert, very soon, a lot of top secret agents

Chapter 74 “How are the plans coming along?” Nathan asked over the phone. No matter how powerful of an army he had, he still needed money, to maintain his people and to carry on with his plans smoothly. He had just made a huge shipment and the buyer was yet to pay. But he could not wait to put his plans in motion. Seeing his brother and Olivia living so happily as if nothing could ever come between him, was getting on his nerves. He wanted to bring them the pain he has felt all these years, and that could only happen if he lured the tiger out of the cave, and made it vulnerable by cutting off its powerful paws. He wanted to remove all the protective gear around Olivia, and when she would be in her most vulnerable state, he would offer his final blow. He wanted them separated, dead or alive. He did not care. As long as they felt the pain. After the presentation went successful, Olivia asked for the end-of-month financial report. Starting this project would require a huge amount of

Chapter 73 Three months went by after the snake incident. Tom fired every person that was supposed to protect Olivia. It caused so much trouble that Yusuf was almost removed from his position. He was just glad that the man who pulled the thing off was very experienced and even with Tom’s resources, they have not been able to find him. Tom had personally rearranged Olivia’s security detail. They were his most trusted subordinates who could not be tempted easily so, it was hard for Yusuf to find an opening again. Ethan had also assigned his great men to watch her in private. She was being protected even more than the president. “I can’t believe that she was actually that lucky and managed to survive.” A man with a long scar on his face said as he looked at Yusuf. “Yeah. It was a one-clean shot but she came out unharmed. Now with all the people hovering around her, even a fly cannot penetrate.” “It doesn’t matter. I have been waiting for so long for this. I know that there will be

Chapter 72 At the hospital… Ethan did not stay unconscious for long. Olivia was by his bedside, holding his hand with a worried expression. Although the doctors had extracted all the poison in his body, she was still worried. Ethan slowly opened his eyes. He felt someone gripping his hand hard and when he turned his head, he saw his wife’s worried expression, and her face was filled with streaks of tears. “Hey.” He softly called out. “You are awake,” Olivia called out excitedly. “What happened?” Ethan inquired after realizing that he was in a hospital. “You were bitten by that python and although your bodyguard helped to suck out the poison, you fainted on the way here.” “How are you feeling?” she asked. She was worried that there were still traces of poison in his body and it might endanger his life. “I am fine. I just feel a little numb on my arm but that’s all.” “I was so worried about you.” Olivia started to cry. When Ethan fainted in the ambulance, she felt as if her w
