THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 64 He can't Know
The world around me felt blurred and distant, as though I were underwater. But Xavier’s voice cut through the haze like a lifeline.“It’s okay,” he said, his tone warm but firm. “You were acting in self-defence, not murder! Our little Lizhi did a great job and was very brave to protect herself. That guy deserved it!”I felt his arms wrap around me, steady and strong, pulling me into a hug. His warmth seeped into my frozen body, and for the first time in hours, the suffocating weight on my chest began to ease.The female police officer stepped forward, her voice cautious but professional.“She still needs to be assessed for her injuries. She wasn’t cooperating earlier.”Xavier’s hand found the top of my head, his touch gentle as he ruffled my hair. “Don’t be afraid. I will always be with you.”I nodded, my eyes stinging with fresh tears. “I can do it,” I murmured, though my voice trembled.He let me go, but not before draping his windbreaker over my shoulders. It was heavy, the fabric

Xavier’s voice carried a note of reassurance, his persistence unwavering as he tried to reason with me."Zelda, Brother isn’t the impulsive 17-year-old he once was. He’s not going to fly off the handle. You can tell him, and it’ll be fine—"I couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. They slipped down my cheeks, and my voice trembled as I interrupted him."Brother, are you refusing to help me? Don’t you understand? I can’t let him know."The memory of Duan Kun flashed in my mind, his hands pinning me against the wall. I’d been terrified, but even at that moment, I was thinking. I can’t let him succeed. I can’t let this happen.Because if he had, James would have lost control. He would’ve sought revenge without hesitation, just like he did years ago, his hands stained with blood for my sake. I couldn’t let that happen again.So I fought back. I did what I had to. When I struck out at Duan Kun, there was no hesitation, no mercy. James Ferguson had been my armour then, the thought of him

Hellen’s triumphant demeanour faltered slightly, but she quickly regained her footing."What kind of question is that, James? Susan—is carrying your child! Who else could it belong to?"I bit the inside of my cheek, struggling to process this new revelation. Was she lying? Or was James telling the truth? For weeks, I'd assumed Susan's pregnancy was another calculated move to cement her place in his life, and I had resigned myself to being quietly displaced. Now, cracks were forming, and I didn’t know what to believe.James’s grip on me tightened slightly, his gaze never leaving his mother."You're making assumptions. Did you ask her, or did she tell you herself that the child is mine?"Hellen crossed her arms, her voice laced with irritation. "She didn't need to. The timing aligns perfectly, and she's always been close to you. Who else could it be?"James exhaled, his jaw tightening. "Close to me? We haven't been together for months. Unless there's some miraculous explanation, that ch

Boom! Boom! Boom!The pounding on the door jolted me.“Zelda, open the door!” James’s voice was sharp, impatient.I hadn’t realized how long I’d been inside. When the sound of his footsteps retreated, I barely had time to react before the heavy thud of his foot struck the door.I scrambled to unlock it just as he was about to break it down.James’s eyes narrowed as he took in my appearance. My hair was dripping, and my towel clinging to my trembling frame. His gaze darkened.“What the hell are you doing?” he demanded.“I…” My voice faltered as water dripped from my hairHis hand shot out, gripping my wrist. His fingers were like fire against my frozen skin. “You’re freezing. Were you taking a cold shower? Are you trying to kill yourself?”I blinked, dazed. “I didn’t feel it.”His frustration flared. “Unbelievable.” Without another word, he scooped me into his arms and carried me to the bed.He tucked the quilt around me, his movements brisk and annoyed.th.

After finishing my breakfast, I decided to head back to the apartment I shared with Jian. Just as I was getting into the car, my phone buzzed.“Hey, Zelda, let’s meet at the apartment,” Jian said, her tone urgent.“What’s going on?” I asked, already sensing trouble.“I’m not sure, but the landlord called and said we needed to come over immediately. Let’s meet there.”“Alright. I’m already on my way,” I replied.The drive to the apartment felt tense, though I couldn’t put my finger on why. When I arrived, it wasn’t long before Jian showed up. Together, we headed upstairs.The sight that greeted us on our floor stopped us in our tracks—our belongings were scattered outside the apartment. Clothes, bags, shoes—everything we owned was thrown out like garbage.The landlord, a stout, middle-aged woman with a smug air about her, was tossing o

As soon as she was gone, I couldn’t help it—I burst into laughter. "That was one hell of a performance, Hamer! I didn’t know you were such a good actor."Hamerr smirked. "What can I say? I adapt when needed. Glad it worked out.""Thank you so much for stepping in," I said, grateful."No problem," Hamer replied. "You’ve got the money back, and honestly, it’s for the best. This place wouldn’t hold good memories for you anyway. Time to move on."He started helping us gather our belongings. "Just let me handle the heavy stuff," he insisted. "You two focus on packing."While Hamer carried bags to the car, Jian stood watching me with a funny look on her face."What?" I asked, exasperated."Hamer really likes you," she said with a smirk. "I mean, how did he even know we were in trouble?""I don’t know," I said, shrugging. "Why don’t you ask him?"When Hamer returned for another tr

Hilda immediately started fake crying, her voice quivering with drama. "Ha, ha, it’s her, it’s... it's them!"James, looking as impassive as ever, raised an eyebrow. "What happened?" he asked, his gaze flickering briefly toward Hamer but betraying no other emotion.Hilda sniffled and wiped her eyes, her voice shaky. "I came here and saw Sister-in-Law and Hamer. I just wanted to check on them, and then all of a sudden, Zelda started asking me what I was doing here. And then Jian—she started insulting me! She was so rude! Sister-in-Law didn’t even defend me! They were trying to hurt me, calling me unworthy of being part of the Ferguson family, saying I didn’t live up to my name..." She started fake crying again, louder this time.Susan, ever the picture of composed concern, patted Hilda’s back soothingly, her voice soft. "Calm down, Hilda. It’s okay. James is going to handle this. Everything’s going to be alright."

I turned, panic bubbling in my chest, only to find James standing there. His expression was unreadable, but his grip on my arm was firm like he needed to keep me close."James?" I asked, my voice trembling, but my thoughts were still clouded by what I had just overheard. "What’s going on?"I wasn’t feeling well. The night before had been restless, and I could still feel the exhaustion pulling at me. I had taken a cold bath, and the lack of sleep and the nightmares were taking their toll. I hadn’t been wearing makeup lately since I was pregnant and decided to keep the baby. My complexion had taken a hit, but despite everything, I knew I still looked good.I sat at the table with Fu Jinchen, his gaze assessing me carefully. He didn’t miss much, and I could tell he was concerned. But, then again, concern was rarely something he showed in a genuine way.“You look so bad,” he said, his voice carrying the usual sharp edge. &l

THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 265 Swift Justice
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.“James, I know you’re angry, but she’s still your mother.”James let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “Still my mother?” His voice wavered. “What kind of mother does this to her child? What kind of mother lets him suffer for years and then—then when the truth comes out, she refuses to even acknowledge it?”His father sighed, rubbing a hand down his face. “She’s scared, James. Scared of losing everything she’s built, scared of what the truth means.”James turned on him, pained.“And 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?”Helen’s voice trembled from the doorw
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME 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 child—my child—grows.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 thought—maybe—just 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 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 gathered—Mr. 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 didn’t look surprised to see me.She probably didn’t know that I knew everything.Mr. Bai, on the other hand, was
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 262 I Need to Know
JamesA slow, numbing realization crept over me, drowning out everything else.The Bai family hadn’t just manipulated me.They had shaped my entire life."They couldn’t 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 family—" My voice caught. "We never stopped searching for her.""And that’s 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 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 it—every 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 ends—we 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 first—"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 Chapter 260 I am sorry
JamesMadam Bai’s fingers combed through Bai Luoxing’s hair with practised tenderness, her voice saccharine."Don’t cry. Mom knows your heart is too soft—you 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 didn’t 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 down—was that also a favour?" My voice was lethally quiet.Madam Bai’s wrinkled face twisted in feigned confusion."Hunt her? James, I only sent people to find her after she disappeared! For her safety! And my nephew—where 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 didn’t push me away this time.Then— Thump.Something struck the side of my face.I froze.Before I could process it, another hit—this 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 that… Littleton?"Zelda’s lips curled, amusement flickering in her gaze before she pressed them flat again."Littleton’s here to teach you some manners," she said dryly.Of course, it was Littleton.Even in the womb, my kid couldn’t 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 I’d 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 hammered—not from fever, but s
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 258 Faking It
JamesThe pain in my chest was sharp, unrelenting, as I watched her smile—so effortless, so free. As if I meant nothing.If it were up to me, I’d never let her go.Especially not now, with those men hovering around her like vultures, waiting for their chance. But I couldn’t do anything. Not anymore.I didn’t dare to force her, didn’t dare to manipulate things behind her back like I used to. One wrong move, and she’d slip even further from my grasp.And then there was Dom. Until he was dealt with, she wasn’t safe here."Don’t worry," I said, my voice steady despite the storm inside me. "I’ll fulfil your wish this time. Consider it… 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 it—my resolve. No tricks, no games. This was real.Her lashes fluttered, her grip on my collar loosening as she whispered,"So after we land…
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME 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 retreated—step 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 landed—"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
