THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Â Â Â Chapter 233 The Fall
ZeldaSusan Wenger's composure crumbled. She hadn't anticipated James Ferguson's swift and thorough investigation. Her eyes darted around the room, a mix of fear and desperation twisting her features."Mr Ferguson! Mr Cheng and I do know each other, but we are not familiar with each other at all!" she stammered, her voice laced with a desperate attempt at denial.James Ferguson's lips curled into a thin, cruel smile. He swiped his finger across the tablet screen, and a video began to play. He handed the tablet to Mr. Bai.Mr. Bai's face paled as he watched the video, his hands trembling. The screen showed Susan Wenger and Qiyue engaged in intimate acts, a compilation of clips from various locations and time periods, clearly indicating an ongoing affair.The relationship between the two was undeniably exposed. Mr. Bai's hand shook, accidentally pressing the volume button, amplifying the audio."Baby, who is better, me or Bai Luoqi?" Qiyue's voice echoed through the room."Well, don't s

ZeldaSusan Wenger was half-dragged, half-carried out of the ward. I, Zelda Liamson, was too lazy to stay in the ward any longer, so I followed her out. Susanâs face was pale, and she looked weak all over, but her scarlet eyes burned with hatred as she stared at me.âIâm done, donât be so proud! The wedding was ruined, your husband disappeared on the wedding day to pick up his childhood love, and you... !âBefore Susan could finish her words, Leiy covered her mouth tightly.âMadam, please donât listen to her nonsense. Mr Ferguson urgently dispatched a helicopter to get back in time. He took the risk of taking off despite the flight conditions not allowing it, just to get back in time...âMy heart was sealed, and I didnât want to hear any of this. I interrupted Leiy calmly,âThere is no point in saying this anymore.ââMrsâĶâThe doctor went in to continue the rescue, and James Ferguson also came out of the ward at that moment. His eyes swept over Leiy, who immediately shut up and said,

JamesI stared into Zeldaâs eyes, my heart clenching as a bitter sneer escaped my lips."My love is cheap, but how good is your love that it can be controlled so freely?"She pushed me away again, her voice sharp and laced with frustration."Yes, my love is both free and cheap! Mr. Ferguson, go find Bai Luoxing and love her! Youâve been through so many thrilling things together. Sheâs gone through so many hardships for you, and your love is earth-shattering! Youâve been searching for her for years, regardless of life or death, regardless of everything. Your love is higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea, and truer than diamonds. Iâm moved! I sincerely wish youâll be together forever and love each other forever!"She spat out the words in one breath, her chest heaving as she struggled to catch her breath. Her panting echoed in the empty hall, filling the silence between us.My face darkened, my jaw tightening as I glared at her.Zelda turned to leave, but before she could take

JianI didnât answer right away. Instead, I forced an apologetic smile, my voice deliberately weak."Sorry, Iâm feeling dizzy and donât have the strength... Who did you say you were again? Why would Zelda mention you to me?"I wasnât fooled by Bai Luoxingâs sweet tone. I could hear the hidden meaning in her words, the subtle digs masked by politeness. This woman wasnât here just to express gratitudeâshe was here to stir the pot.Bai Luoxing stood there, still holding the bouquet, her smile never faltering."Didnât Zelda mention me? Then let me introduce myself again. Iâm Bai Luoxing. I grew up with James when I was a child. Iâ"I cut her off before she could continue. I wasnât about to sit through some exaggerated tale of her and Jamesâs so-called "earth-shattering" childhood love. Not when I knew it would only hurt Zelda. I immediately pressed a hand to my forehead, feigning discomfort."Miss Bai, Iâm feeling dizzy and nauseous, and I really canât handle a long speech right now. If y

ZeldaJames had once told me that Hellen Ferguson treated Bai Luoxing as her daughter. In fact, she would have preferred that the person who came back that year was Bai Luoxing, not me. And now, as I watched Hellen hold Bai Luoxing in her arms, her face filled with care and protectiveness, I could see just how true that was. She cradled Bai Luoxing like she was her own child, her voice soft and soothing.I couldnât help but think about all the years Iâd spent trying to please Hellen, all the effort Iâd put into earning her approval. And yet, no matter what I did, I never received a single kind word from her. Now, seeing her dote on Bai Luoxing so effortlessly, I felt a bitter laugh bubble up inside me. It was ridiculous, really. Hellen and I were never compatible as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I had been fooling myself to think otherwise."Iâm just sitting here," I said, my voice sharp. "What can I possibly do to her? Sheâs almost 30 years old now, not 11 or 12 anymore. Do you

JamesThe sting in my shoulder was sharp, a constant reminder of the billboard's steel frame biting into my flesh. The doctor had done his jobâbandaged the wound, left the ointment, and hurried off to his next patient. Typical. He didnât even give Zelda a chance to respond before he was out the door, leaving us alone in the quiet clinic.I glanced at her. She stood there, holding the tube of ointment, her expression unreadable. But she didnât hesitate. She stepped forward, her movements deliberate, and came around behind me. I could feel her presence, the warmth of her even before her fingers touched my skin.When she unscrewed the cap and applied the ointment, I tensed. Her touch was light, almost tentative, but it sent a jolt through me. My body stiffened instinctively, and she paused."Does it hurt? Didnât you apply medicine before?" Her voice was soft, but there was an edge to it like she was trying to keep her emotions in check.I relaxed slightly, though my shoulders still felt

ZeldaI chuckled softly, turning around and shoving the bank card and property certificates into Jianâs arms."Okay! Just take it all! If moneyâs being handed to you on a silver platter, wouldnât you be stupid to push it away?"Jian hesitated, clutching the card and certificates like they might disappear if she loosened her grip."Can I really take it? But didnât you work so hard to pay back James Fergusonâs 30 million?"I cut her off before she could finish. "I was stupid before, but itâs different now. You saved people and got seriously injured in the process. You *deserve* this. Why wouldnât you take it? If youâre feeling uneasy, I have a favour to ask of you."I had made up my mind to leave, and I knew I couldnât take Michael with me this time. Jian had accepted the money, and once I was gone, I needed someone to look after my brother if James decided to take his anger out on him. I explained this to Jian, and her eyes widened in shock."Of course, I have no problem taking care of

ZeldaMy heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs."Nothing," I managed, my voice a touch too high, a touch too brittle. "Maybe I'm a little nervous because I'm going on stage tomorrow."I had to look up at him, James. I couldn't let him see the truth â the fear, the uncertainty, the sheer weight of everything I was about to do.So, I smiled, a faint, fragile thing, and asked, "Are you coming to the show?"He's been... trying. These past weeks, he's been trying so hard. More time, more support, more everything. But there's still that distance, that invisible wall. Weâre trapped in this lukewarm space, unable to recapture what we once had.This invitation was a risk. The first time I'd asked, after all this. And for a moment, the surprise in his eyes, the almost... flattered look, made me ache.He draped his coat around my shoulders, warm and heavy, and his arm came around me. Then, that familiar gesture, a gentle tap on the tip of my nose, like he used to do when he was... when

ZeldaAs the door shut, James exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. His body was tense, his fists clenched at his sides.James stood motionless, staring at the door, his jaw clenched so tightly that I thought he might break.Mr Ferguson was the first to speak, his voice firm but not unkind.âJames, I know youâre angry, but sheâs still your mother.âJames let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. âStill my mother?â His voice wavered. âWhat kind of mother does this to her child? What kind of mother lets him suffer for years and thenâthen when the truth comes out, she refuses to even acknowledge it?âHis father sighed, rubbing a hand down his face. âSheâs scared, James. Scared of losing everything sheâs built, scared of what the truth means.âJames turned on him, pained.âAnd what about me? Does she care how scared I was? How much I lost? How I spent years believing I was the mistake, that everything that went wrong was somehow my fault?âHelenâs voice trembled from the doorw
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Â Â Â Chapter 264 I Have Proof
ZeldaI sit on the edge of the bed, staring at the divorce papers I had once been so ready to sign. My hands rest over my stomach, where our childâmy childâgrows.I told myself I wouldn't cry over James Ferguson again. But here I am, my heart still aching in ways I wish it wouldn't.He had always been my saviour. When I was just a scared thirteen-year-old girl, lost and alone, James had taken me in. I admired him, idolized him. But then admiration turned into something else. Love. The kind that consumed me, that I could never shake off, no matter how hard I tried.But James had never seen me that way.First, it was Susan Wenger... I watched as he gave everything to Susan, how he smiled at her the way I had always wished he would look at me. And when Susan was gone, I thoughtâmaybeâjust maybe, James would see me.But then came Luoxing.And that had been the final proof I needed to know the truth. I was never going to be James's first choice.That was why I decided to leave. I refused t
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Â Â Â Chapter 263 Showing Mercy
JamesThe Bai estate was as grand as ever, standing as a symbol of power, wealth, and the history that bound our families together.Or so I thought.I stepped inside without hesitation. No one stopped me. They never would. For years, I had been welcomed here like a son.I had thought I was.But tonight, the weight of betrayal clung to me like a second skin, suffocating, inescapable and true.As I entered the main hall, I found them all gatheredâMr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, and their daughter, Bai Luoxing.The moment they saw me, Luoxing was the first to react. She stood up, her eyes filled with something between relief and hesitation."James!"I lifted a hand to my head, stopping her in her tracks.She hesitated, then slowly sat back down, casting a quick glance toward her mother.Mrs Bai, ever composed, sat calmly at the head of the table, an air of relaxed control around her. She didnât look surprised to see me.She probably didnât know that I knew everything.Mr. Bai, on the other hand, was
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Â Â Â Chapter 262 I Need to Know
JamesA slow, numbing realization crept over me, drowning out everything else.The Bai family hadnât just manipulated me.They had shaped my entire life."They couldnât just bring Luoxing back," Dom continued, his voice low. "Not when the whole world was looking for her. Not when they hadn't gotten anything from their attempt. So they kept her hidden, cared for her, made sure no one found her."I barely heard him. My mind was already racing ahead, connecting pieces I had never thought to question before."But the Ferguson familyâ" My voice caught. "We never stopped searching for her.""And thatâs exactly what they wanted."I snapped my gaze to him."Think about it, James." Dom leaned forward, the dim light casting sharp shadows on his face."Your parents. Your grandmother. You. You were all drowning in guilt, haunted by the loss of a little girl you thought you failed to protect. You clung to Madame Bai and saw her as a second mother because she was grieving too. She played her role p
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Â Â Â Chapter 261 Start Talking
JamesThe air in the car was filled with tension, Zelda's rigid posture and clenched phone screaming her silent fury at me. I deserved itâevery bit of her anger, every cold shoulder. But damn if it didn't carve a hollow ache in my chest.Then my phone buzzed, slicing through the suffocating quiet.I answered, and within seconds, the tension in my shoulders eased."We found Dom."The words sent a rush of grim satisfaction through me. Finally. After all the hunting, all the dead endsâwe had him.My grip tightened on the phone. "Alive?""Barely. He's talking."Good.I glanced at Zelda, still stubbornly turned away from me, her reflection faint in the window. This changed everything. With Dom's testimony, the Bai family's carefully constructed lies would crumble.But firstâ"Keep him secure. I'll be there soon."Hanging up, I studied Zelda's profile. She thought this was about the divorce. About me stalling.She had no idea the storm that was coming.And for once, I'd be the one to shield
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Â Â Â Chapter 260 I am sorry
JamesMadam Baiâs fingers combed through Bai Luoxingâs hair with practised tenderness, her voice saccharine."Donât cry. Mom knows your heart is too softâyou would have stopped me if you knew."Then she lifted her chin, her blind eyes fixed in my direction with eerie precision."James, I only helped your wife leave because she wanted to. I didnât want you two to become bitter enemies. You may not understand my intentions, but the truth is, this all started with her desire to run. Luoxing is innocent."Innocent.The word tasted like ash."So sending men to hunt her downâwas that also a favour?" My voice was lethally quiet.Madam Baiâs wrinkled face twisted in feigned confusion."Hunt her? James, I only sent people to find her after she disappeared! For her safety! And my nephewâwhere is Dom? Did you see him?"Zelda stiffened beside me. I could almost hear the furious drum of her heartbeat.I stared at the woman who had once been like a second mother to me.Even now, faced with the trut

JamesMy lashes lowered, hiding the smug satisfaction in my gaze as I buried my face against her again. Good. She didnât push me away this time.Thenâ Thump.Something struck the side of my face.I froze.Before I could process it, another hitâthis time square on the bridge of my nose. Not painful, but sharp, like a tiny jolt of electricity.My head snapped up, eyes wide."Was thatâĶ Littleton?"Zeldaâs lips curled, amusement flickering in her gaze before she pressed them flat again."Littletonâs here to teach you some manners," she said dryly.Of course, it was Littleton.Even in the womb, my kid couldnât stand watching their shameless father grovelling like this and decided to intervene.A stunned laugh caught in my throat.I stared at the slight swell of her belly, then slowly raised my hand, pressing my fingers where Iâd been kicked. The impact had been soft, muted by layers of flesh and fluid, but it sent a current straight through my chest.My heart hammeredânot from fever, but s
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Â Â Â Chapter 258 Faking It
JamesThe pain in my chest was sharp, unrelenting, as I watched her smileâso effortless, so free. As if I meant nothing.If it were up to me, Iâd never let her go.Especially not now, with those men hovering around her like vultures, waiting for their chance. But I couldnât do anything. Not anymore.I didnât dare to force her, didnât dare to manipulate things behind her back like I used to. One wrong move, and sheâd slip even further from my grasp.And then there was Dom. Until he was dealt with, she wasnât safe here."Donât worry," I said, my voice steady despite the storm inside me. "Iâll fulfil your wish this time. Consider itâĶ compensation for the wedding."That damned wedding. My fault. All of it.Maybe ending this marriage was the only way to truly start over. She looked at me then, her eyes searching mine, and for the first time, she saw itâmy resolve. No tricks, no games. This was real.Her lashes fluttered, her grip on my collar loosening as she whispered,"So after we landâĶ
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Â Â Â Chapter 257 The Cousin
ZeldaOf course I couldn't bear it.I never wanted to compete with Bai Luoxing for anything. She was the one who forced her way into my marriage. Even then, I retreatedâstep by step, until I'd put an ocean between us.Yet the Bai family still wouldn't let me go. They wanted me dead. How vicious could they be?But Leiy hadn't said much earlier. Even I was only guessing. Did James... already know it was them?My eyes widened in shock. "You knew? Bai Luoxing helped me leave the country, and the Bai family has been hunting me since I landedâ"His face darkened at the mention of my escape. "How else do you think I found you?"I pressed my lips together, then let out a cold laugh."Well, color me surprised. I thought even if I accused the Bai family, you'd assume I was just smearing their name out of spite."The pain that flashed across his face was sharp enough to almost make me regret my words. Almost.His chest heaved, and before I could react, his hand shot out, gripping the back of my
