THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 119: The Legacy Secured
The Scott estate was painted in amber and gold hues as the fading afternoon sunlight reflected off the floor-to-ceiling windows of Nicholas's study and created lengthy shadows over the vast gardens. The continuous ticking of the time on the wall was the sole sound emanating from inside. Nicholas was at his desk with a leather-bound folder opened before of him, papers carefully prepared within its pages.Cassie sat on the edge of her seat across from him with her fingers intertwined, observing his face.With wonder and resolve, she whispered, "This is happening."Nicholas put down his pen and looked her in the eye. “Yes, it is. The Scott Family Trust is now formally established.”With a deep exhale, Cassie traced the embossed title on the paper before her. A legacy that will last for generations is the Scott Family Trust.It was more than just a contract; it was a pledge. A pledge that their kids and the society they were trying to transform would have a solid foundation.Leaning back

The nighttime sky illuminated the villa's expansive terrace and the quiet buzz of music blended with the sound of clinking glasses and laughter. The lavish yet small gathering was a tribute to all Nicholas and Cassie had created together. They raised their glasses to a collective win with their family, close friends, and influential initiative members.Cassie observed the city's sparkling lights from the edge of the terrace. The delicious meal's aroma blended with the scent of fresh flowers in the warm breeze. She was lighter than she had been in months, and when she saw Nicholas talking to a group of investors, her heart grew proud.Their project was more successful than they had anticipated, changing not just their towns but also their own lives. By connecting with individuals worldwide through her artistic vision, Cassie discovered a new purpose. Once overwhelmed by his history, Nicholas now exuded confidence that stemmed from his influence rather than his fortune.Nicholas turned

On the balcony of their apartment, Cassie and Nicholas stood in the crisp evening air, gazing out over the city that had become both their haven and their battlefield. The success they had created—together—was reflected in the skyline's brightness. Their worldwide project had acquired traction and had impacted lives in ways neither of them had reasonably anticipated. However, Nicholas was all too aware that triumphs always drew adversaries.In his pocket, his phone buzzed. He had a feeling it might not be good news, so he was reluctant to look into it.His jaw tightened at the sight of the sender, his head of strategic partnerships, Ethan Drake.Ethan: Something is wrong. Large one. Give me a call right away.Nicholas gave a quick exhale. "There may be an issue."Cassie narrowed her eyes and turned to face him. "What sort of issue?"His muscles tensed in anticipation as he dialed Ethan's number. "The kind that doesn't wait until morning."On the first ring, Ethan answered. "Nicholas,

The International Art Summit in Paris's big hall was filled with the hum of conversation. Art's most significant personalities were illuminated by the gentle golden glow cast by gilded chandeliers over the audience. Cassie Scott stood close to the platform with her fingers clutching the margins of a speech she had revised a dozen times. Tonight was meant to be a triumph, an opportunity to demonstrate the transformative power of art. Instead, she was entering a combat zone.The rumors had quickly circulated. Some detractors argued that she was "commodifying" art and that her effort betrayed artistic integrity by fusing commerce and philanthropy. Others muttered that she was using her wealth—or, instead, Nicholas's influence—to upend a sector of the economy that had historically prospered from exclusivity.She let out a deep exhale. “Adhere to your vision. Regardless.”A kind but subdued round of applause welcomed Cassie as she took the stage. Skeptics were everywhere in the audience, t

The storm came suddenly.Nicholas had experienced a lot, including business takeovers, boardroom betrayals, and rival-fabricated scandals, but nothing had prepared him for the heartbreaking scene.The CEO of Davenport Global, their most significant corporate rival, was seated across from his father, a man he had spent years attempting to forget. This is the same business that has been putting forth endless efforts to sabotage its international project.The picture flickered over his phone's screen in a breaking news report. It was a cruel headline.A NEW ERA OF BUSINESS POWER WITH SCOTT SENIOR AND DAVENPORT GLOBAL?Nicholas's veins were icy.His stress was immediately apparent to Cassie, sitting beside him in their private office at the initiative's headquarters. "Nicholas?" she asked in a kind but worried tone.Silently, he gave her the phone. Her eyes widened in surprise as she read. "No," she said in a whisper. "This isn't possible."However, it was.Nicholas's fingers curled into

Like a warning, a chilly wind blew through the expansive hallways of the Scott family mansion. Outside, the security lights flickered and then steadied. On the outside, everything appeared to be peaceful.In the nursery, Cassie was putting the twins to sleep. Emma, the more agitated of the two, grabbed her mother's hand. She whispered drowsily, "Stay, Mama," as her locks fell across her small face.With a smile, Cassie planted a gentle kiss on Emma's forehead. "My darling, I'm right here."Nicholas watched the sweet moment unfold while leaning against the doorframe. This chamber served as his haven despite the mayhem outside their house—the threats from his father and the constant assaults from Davenport Global.When he entered the room, he touched his son's hair and whispered to Ethan, who was already falling asleep, "Sleep well, buddy."After both kids had calmed down, Cassie turned to him. "Nicholas, they are everything."His face softened as he nodded. "I understand."She softly s
Last Updated : 2025-02-02THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 125: Cassie's Audacious Idea
The Scott mansion was oppressively tense. Despite being completely rocked by the security breach, Nicholas and Cassie did not back down. For the past two days, they had been strengthening security, deploying more guards, and planning their next course of action.Cassie knew Nicholas was thinking about his father's most recent danger. The warning and the chess piece had put him in a gloomy, strategic frame of mind. He was getting ready for battle.Cassie, however, had no intention of passively waiting for the next assault.They needed to bolster their initiative, which was the exact thing that Davenport Global and Nicholas's father wished to undermine. She refused to allow their adversaries to control their destiny.And she thought of something.It is a bold, contentious, and revolutionary concept.Despite the gravity of what she was about to propose, Cassie sat across from Nicholas in his office, her heart steady. His head was elsewhere as he studied security data, his jaw clenched ti

Although Nicholas was always aware of his father's brutality, something felt off this time. After the Unity Coalition meeting, he received a message that was more than a warning; it was a declaration of war.The battle between Davenport Global and them would not be confined to boardrooms. Everything they had constructed would be destroyed if Nicholas didn't act quickly to stop them from dismantling it.He had to know what his dad was up to.And being incognito was the only way to accomplish that.Sitting in his office, Nicholas gazed out the glass windows at the metropolitan skyline. The weight of his decision descended upon him like a dense mist. Not only was he entering enemy territory, but he was also jeopardizing his reputation in the process.With her arms folded and a worried yet irritated expression, Cassie sat across from him.She shook her head and replied, "You can't be serious." "This isn't a game, Nicholas. If your dad discovers”"He won't," Nicholas cut in. "I am aware of

THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 136: Nicholas Reflects on His Journey
Tonight, Nicholas was not the strong CEO or the man battling the ghosts of his past; tonight, he was just a man—one who had lived, lost, and fought his way back. He sat in his study, the gentle glow of the fireplace creating flickering shadows throughout the room, a glass of unopened whiskey resting on the mahogany desk next to an open leather-bound journal, the faint scent of aged parchment mingled with the faint aroma of the cedar wood logs burning nearby.He took a deep breath and started writing after dipping his pen into the inkwell and letting it hover over the page for a while:"To Cassie, our future, and our kids.I used to believe that power was everything. I developed enemies, fought to the top, and lost myself in conflicts I thought were necessary. But I almost lost my soul in the quest for a kingdom. And then I discovered you when I believed I had nothing left but shadows."He wrote of his early years, his father's oppressive expectations, and the hunger that had made him
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 135: A New Bond
That afternoon was tranquil at the Scott estate, a rare respite from the hectic schedule of foundation events, business meetings, and crisis management that had become Nicholas and Cassie's daily routine. The vast field in which the kids, Ethan and Emma, played was covered in lengthy shadows as the gardens were illuminated by the golden light of the setting sun. Their genuine, unadulterated laughter echoed through the atmosphere.They grew up so quickly, and Cassie watched them sitting on the patio with a warm cup of tea. A grin crossed her lips, but underneath it, a gentle twinge of nostalgia took hold of her chest.She was accompanied by Nicholas, who brought two glasses of wine, gave her one, and sank into the chair next to hers.He said, "You're thinking too hard.""Am I really that obvious?" Cassie grinned."Tell me," he said, reaching for her hand and putting his fingers through it.She sighed softly and said, "How much they've grown is unbelievable. It seems they were only lear
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 134: The Initiative’s Grand Gala
A thousand crystal chandeliers cast a golden glow over the Metropolitan Grand Hotel's ballroom. A live orchestra played a delicate, exquisite song, white roses poured from tall centerpieces, and the guests, all dressed to the nines, mingled over champagne and hushed chats. Every aspect of the evening had been carefully arranged.With her palm resting on the railing, Cassie stood close to the grand staircase, taking in the view. The Initiative's Grand Gala, a night to honor the impact their work has had on the world, was the culmination of months of ceaseless work, unrelenting struggles, and unyielding resolve."You succeeded."Nicholas approached her from behind, his voice warm on her ear.For a moment, Cassie's breath caught as she turned to face him. She was still left speechless by Nicholas Scott, even after all this time. The flickering candlelight softened his sharp features, but his dark blue eyes did not lose their fierceness. His black tuxedo was well-tailored.She smiled up a
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 133: The Rivals Crumble
The moment Nicholas had been waiting for arrived in the shape of a breaking news alert flashing across his screen."Breaking News: Horizon Global Faces Collapse Amidst Financial Scandal."The news anchor's voice echoed through his office."After a federal probe into financial malfeasance, Horizon Global CEO Robert Langley resigned. The once-dominant behemoth is on the verge of collapse after its shares fell by approximately sixty percent in the last twenty-four hours. According to sources, whistleblower reports and internal leaks were essential in revealing fraudulent activity connected to accounts offshore and unlawful lobbying attempts”.Nicholas sat back in his chair, a deep breath departing his lips.It was over.Months of struggle, sabotage, and corporate warfare had led to this point. Horizon Global, the firm that had done all in its power to ruin his proposal, was finally collapsing under its own corruption.A harsh knock on the door shook him from his thoughts. Richard, his he
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 132: Nicholas’s Bold Move
Nicholas waited with his hands clenched in the darkened hotel suite. The thick, almost suffocating air inside had little to do with the room's opulence. It was the waiting. The moment he had been waiting too long for.The communication had come from him. This is a straightforward request.We must speak. In person. No more games.And now, as the seconds stretched into minutes, he felt the consequences of his choice. In a last-ditch effort to dominate Nicholas's life, his father, who had tortured him for years, threatened him, misled him, and now sided with Horizon Global.No more.Nicholas was going to end it tonight.A jarring tap on the door.Nicholas let out a breath and walked confidently. Charles Scott was standing there when he opened it.There had been little change in his father. The same cold, evaluating eyes, the same calculated arrogance. The only things that had changed were the faint traces of age and the faint sense of despair that clung to him like a second skin."Nichol
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 131: Cassie's Turning Point
Gazing at the proposal before her, Cassie sat at her desk. The potential impact was evident, and the figures were astounding. Expanding the program into this new market would reach thousands more people and provide opportunities to others without them. However, it was also a risk—a contentious decision that might backfire and jeopardize everything she had worked so hard to achieve.She looked at the framed picture next to her laptop, which showed her, the twins, and Nicholas in utter happiness. They had gone through so much and come so far. These days, she made decisions for herself and them, their future, and the innumerable individuals who relied on her employment.A gentle knock on the door startled her from her reverie. "Come in," she beckoned.Lily, her assistant, entered with a deliberately neutral expression. "The board is waiting, Cassie. Are you prepared?”Cassie took a deep breath and braced herself. "Yes. Let's get this done.”A dozen eyes turned to her as she walked into t
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 130: A Major Breakthrough
In the softly lit area of his private study, Nicholas's face was illuminated by the brightness of his laptop screen. Tension permeated the air as his mind, like a machine, processed all the data before him. For weeks, his team had been searching for a weakness in the defenses of the competing business.He had finally located it tonight.Horizon Global, the competing business, had been attacking him, Cassie, and all they had constructed nonstop. However, they had erred in their pride.Leaning forward, Nicholas looked over the private documents his hacker contact had recovered. He went through internal memos, emails, and financial transactions until he came across a file that completely stopped him cold.A scam. An offshore account that is hidden. The laundering of money under the pretense of "philanthropic donations."His pulse was furious but steady as he exhaled softly.You got it.Reaching for his phone, Nicholas entered a secure number. A voice responded in a matter of seconds."Mr
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 129: The Twins’ Gift
The sunlight pouring in on the floor-to-ceiling windows gave the art studio a golden glow as Cassie walked in. The soft scent of acrylic paint and the comforting feel of fresh paper permeated the room.However, the two tiny figures in the middle of the room really captured her interest.Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Emma and Ethan were engrossed in their worlds. With a charcoal stick in his hand, Ethan drew frantically on the enormous piece of paper before him, his tiny fingers covered in black dust. When he was focused, he was a little replica of Nicholas, his brow wrinkled in intense concentration and his small mouth set in a determined line.Conversely, Emma moved with natural grace, her paintbrush moving quickly across the canvas. Emma's painting was entirely colored, with hot oranges and brilliant blues melting into something Cassie couldn't yet identify, in contrast to her brother's dramatic shading and crisp lines.As Cassie watched them, her heart grew. She had never anti
THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY Chapter 128: The Rival’s Counterattack
The headlines in the morning were harsh."Nicholas Scott: Billionaire or Business Bully?""Scott Enterprises Exposed—Shady Dealings Behind the Empire?""Cassie Scott's Husband: A Philanthropist or a Fraud?"Cassie's gut twisted as she gazed at the news report on her phone. The campaign of smears had started.Nicholas sat beside her in their home office, reading the same reports impassively. She knew his habit of tapping lightly against the wood desk as a form of controlled frustration.Even though she already knew, she said quietly, "How bad is it?"With a sigh, Nicholas tossed his phone on the table. "They're digging up everything they can. Old business deals, contracts, partnerships—twisting them to make me look corrupt."In her throat, Cassie swallowed the lump. "It's all lies.""Mostly," he remarked while massaging his face. "But that's not the problem. The problem is that perception is often stronger than the truth."She recognized his correctness. Blackwood Global, the competito
