THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Â Â Â Chapter 83 Where Did You Get The Money
I sat alone in the cafÃĐ downstairs, my mind swirling. The lawyer I had hired had fled as soon as he realized that my opponent was James Ferguson. He had seen the name, and panic took over him, so now I was left waiting, alone.I glanced at the timeâsoon, I had to head to the fashion design studio for practice, but all I could focus on was getting this divorce agreement signed. Today. It had to happen today.But just as I tried to calm my nerves, I felt a shift in the atmosphere. It was as if someoneâs gaze was pinning me in place. When I raised my eyes, I saw himâJamesâstriding toward me with that familiar cold aura around him. A chill seemed to follow him wherever he went, and as he came closer, the air seemed to freeze.Before I could even react, he grabbed my wrist, yanking me out of the chair. My heart raced, panic setting in as he pulled me toward the door. His pace was unrelenting, the sharpness in his movements sending waves of unease through me. I stumbled, my thighs colliding

When I heard the voice outside and realized it was Susan Wenger, I felt an unexpected wave of relief. The tension in the car wasnât mine to bear anymoreâit was Jamesâs.Leaning closer to him, I whispered mockingly, âDonât even think about letting go now. If she gets upset and something happens to her baby, donât expect me to take the blame.âHis grip on my waist tightened briefly, a silent warning, but he let go shortly after. The haste with which he distanced himself only made the moment more uncomfortable.A bitter laugh escaped me, and without thinking, I reached for the car window button. If he wanted to keep up appearances so badly, why not let her see everything?Before I could press it, his hand shot out and grabbed mine, his tone cutting through the tension.âStop playing games. Get off. Now.âThe coldness of his words stung, but I bit back my reaction and moved off him towy the passenger seat, my face burning with suppressed anger. The window rolled down just as I settled in,

SusanWhen James glanced at the invitations and gave a curt nod, I felt a momentary sense of relief. He didnât outright refuse."Anything else?" he asked, his tone cold and distant. His indifference stung, but I forced myself to keep my composure, biting my lip and softening my gaze to look as pitiful as possible."I'm going to take endorsement photos later," I said, my voice deliberately timid. "This is my first endorsement. Can you come with me?"I watched his face carefully, hoping for even a flicker of warmth. Instead, he seemed distracted, almost annoyed. Yet, when he nodded and said,"Okay, I have a meeting later," I felt a rush of triumph.He agreed. That was all that mattered."Then I won't bother you anymore," I said with a gentle smile. "See you in the afternoon."I left his office, keeping my smile intact until I reached the car. As soon as I sat down, frustration boiled over, and I slammed my bag onto the seat beside me."What's wrong?" my assistant, asked, concern evident

The moment James's voice came through the phone, sharp and commanding, my chest tightened."Zelda Liamson," he said, his tone filled with disdain, "if you regret the divorce, move back to the Mansion now and admit your mistake. I'll pretend I never signed the divorce agreement. Stop calling and saying inexplicable things."I felt a weight lift slightly from my chest. His reaction meant he hadn't gone back on his wordâhe'd signed the agreement. Relieved but determined, I took a steadying breath and replied calmly,"You wonât regret it. Mr. Ferguson, youâre overthinking things. Iâll raise the 30 million as soon as possible, and I wonât bother you anymore."With that, I ended the call, my hands shaking ever so slightly. I could feel the lingering tension in his voice, a reminder of the control he once held. But now, that Chapter was closing.*******JamesI sat back in my chair, my jaw clenched as I replayed the conversation in my mind. The audacity of her. Susan thought she could manipu

JamesI walked out of the conference room, my head still buzzing with numbers and projections from the annual plan. Mr. Liu approached me, visibly uneasy. His words spilt out quickly, explaining the situation with the endorsement and the original dancer for the game.I raised an eyebrow at his hesitation. It was obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that the original choreography was crucial to the gameâs success. Yet here he was, pushing Susan Wenger into a role she clearly wasn't fit for."The smooth and beautiful movements of game characters are key factors affecting the game's visuals. Do I need to remind you of the importance of the original dance?" My tone was sharp, cutting through his excuses. "Can the original dancers be easily replaced?"Mr. Liu visibly deflated, but at least he seemed relieved I wasnât about to ruin a good thing for personal reasons.âThe original dancers are in the capture room now,â he offered. âWould you like to observe their performance, Mr. Fergus

ZeldaThe next day started off fine, but as usual, trouble came knockingâor in this case, ringing. The phone beside me buzzed relentlessly, disrupting my dance practice. I sighed, wiping the sweat from my face. The caller ID flashed Hellen Ferguson, and my stomach twisted.She wasnât my mother-in-law anymore; in my heart, that tie had been severed the moment James and I signed the divorce agreement. But her persistence made it impossible to ignore. Resigned, I picked up the phone."Zelda, come to Ferguson's residence right now and take your mother away!" Hellen's voice crackled with anger, sharp and commanding, leaving no room for a response.Before I could ask what was going on, she hung up.I arrived at Fuyuan as quickly as I could. The air was thick with tension the moment I stepped inside. Hellen sat stiffly on the sofa, her face like a thundercloud, while Susan Wenger whispered something to her, a picture-perfect image of false innocence.Seeing them together was like watching a

The scene was chaos, yet I could barely feel the world around me. My hands trembled, my heart heavy with years of suppressed frustration and pain. Glady Liamson, my so-called mother, was sprawled on the ground wailing like a wounded animal.Her words, as cutting as ever, echoed in my ears, but I refused to let them control me anymore.âZelda, you must stand up for me! Look at how theyâre treating me! Locking me up like a criminalâyour own mother! Youâre the mistress of this family. If you donât take charge now, how will anyone respect you in the future?â she cried, her voice grating and relentless.I didnât even respond. My eyes burned with the sting of tears I refused to shed as I turned sharply and made for the door.âZelda!â She caught my arm, her grip surprisingly strong for someone so quick to play the victim. âIâm talking to you! Are you mute now?âI yanked my arm free with more force than necessary, sending her stumbling backwards. When she landed in the grass, she immediately

I could hear his voice, that familiar, grating tone, and for a moment, I wondered if I was imagining it. There was no way he was hereânot now, not after everything. He should be with Susan, shouldnât he? Yet, there he was, standing above me, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade."Zelda Liamson! You were the one showing off just now, why are you pretending to be weak and pitiful in front of me now?"The anger in his voice should have ignited something inside me, but instead, all I could feel was an overwhelming numbness. I didnât want his concern. I didnât want him to see me like this. I couldnât afford to be this weak.I barely registered his presence before I felt his hand reaching for my face. Something inside me snapped, and I instinctively pushed his hand away, trying to push him out of my space.The sound of his palm smacking against the air was a harsh reminder of how much had changed between us.âGo away! It's none of your business!â I tried to push him out of my

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
