The Billionaire & His Maid Chips
Chapter 68Christian woke up before dawn. The silence of the house was both calming and isolating. His mind raced, cataloging every piece of information Josh had uncovered, every move Carey could make, and every possible way to counter him. Yet, amidst all the strategies, it was the faces of Olivia and Eunice that lingered in his thoughts. For years, Christian had built his life around the singular purpose of protecting his family’s legacy. But now, he realised he was fighting not just for the past, but for a future he actually wanted.As light filtered into the room, he rose, preparing for what would be another pivotal day in the unfolding battle. Before he headed out, Christian took a moment to ground himself, glancing over at a picture he’d recently placed on his desk—a candid shot of Olivia and Eunice laughing at something he couldn’t remember. It reminded him that while he was ready to fight, he had more than his reputation on the line this time. He wasn’t going to let Carey or a

Chapter 69"Huh?" Olivia replied, confused about what Christian was implying.“This afternoon, after my meeting with the investors ended”, he began. “A representative of Carey’s arrived”.Not long after the meeting ended, Christian’s office assistant appeared at his office door. Her expression was tentative. “Mr. Mason, someone from Troy Carey’s office is here to see you. He insists it’s urgent.”Christian’s eyes narrowed. The last thing he wanted was another confrontation, but curiosity got the better of him. “Send him in.”The man who entered was tall and polished, every bit the corporate emissary. His smile was thin as he extended a hand. “Mr. Mason, I’m here on behalf of Mr. Carey. He wanted to propose an opportunity.”Christian didn’t return the smile, remaining silent as he gestured for the man to continue.“Mr. Carey feels that this longstanding rivalry between your families is... unnecessary. He believes a partnership, perhaps even a merger, could benefit both parties. After a

Chapter 70“Olivia, are you in there?” The little girl’s voice was barely above a whisper, yet it carried with it the urgency only a child could bring.Olivia exchanged a quick look with Christian, her heart rate quickening. As lovely as the night had been, the morning was a reminder of all their responsibilities. Christian gave her a nod, indicating she should answer.Olivia rose quietly, pulling on a robe as she went to the door. She opened it to find Eunice, her curly hair messy from sleep, clutching a small stuffed animal—a pink unicorn Olivia had gotten her a few weeks ago.“Good morning baby,” Olivia greeted her with a warm smile, kneeling down to her eye level.“Good morning,” Eunice replied, eyes darting behind Olivia and catching sight of Christian, who was now sitting up and grinning at her. She waved excitedly. “Hi, Uncle Christian!”“Hey, munchkin!” Christian replied, his tone softening immediately, his serious, corporate demeanour melting away at the sight of his niece. “

Chapter 71Christian leaned forward, his sharp gaze sweeping over the faces of those assembled in the conference room. The soft hum of the city outside barely penetrated the tension-filled space.“We need to counter Carey’s narrative,” he began, his voice firm yet measured. “If he’s using optics to paint himself as the solution, we’ll present facts that reaffirm our stability and strength. Perception is half the battle, and we have the upper hand with real performance data. Let’s make sure everyone knows about it."Mrs. Badenoch nodded, flipping to the next slide of her presentation. “We’re already preparing a media campaign that highlights Mason Enterprises’ milestones from this quarter—record profits in energy, new patents in tech, and strategic expansions in real estate. We had a meeting with the PR team and they are ready to roll out a series of interviews and articles to solidify our standing.”“Good,” Christian said, his mind racing. “But it can’t just be media buzz. What about

Chapter 72Christian’s fingers tightened around his phone as he re-read the message. A surge of confusion and unease twisted in his chest. Eunice M. and Rosemary B.? Why would Carey use their names to purchase property?Olivia, noticing the shift in his expression, tilted her head in concern. “Is everything okay?” she asked gently, drying her hands on a towel.Christian’s gaze softened when he looked at her, but tension remained. “I’m not sure,” he admitted, his voice low. “Something’s come up that I need to figure out.”Her brows knitted, but she didn’t press further. “If you need to make a call, go ahead. I’ll keep Eunice occupied.”He nodded, appreciating her understanding. “Thank you.”Christian stepped into his study and dialled Secretary Pitcher, who answered on the first ring.“I need more details about those properties,” Christian said without a preamble. “Where are they located?" When were they purchased?”“They’re all in the same upscale building in Midtown,” Pitcher replied

Chapter 73The warmth of spring filled the air, and the sound of birdsong drifted through the open window of Christian’s study. The past month had been surprisingly calm, a reprieve from the chaos Carey had inflicted on Mason Enterprises and Christian’s personal life.Christian leaned back in his chair, his gaze resting on the family portrait Eunice had drawn weeks ago. Her colourful depiction of their little family was now framed on his desk. It served as a reminder of what truly mattered, Eunice’s happiness and their stability.Outside, the voices of Olivia and Eunice filtered through the air. They were in the garden, laughing as Eunice practiced riding her bike. Christian had caught glimpses of Olivia’s patience and joy as she guided his niece, and it never failed to make him smile. He couldn’t help but think about how different his life had become since Olivia entered it.Just as he began reviewing a proposal on his tablet, his phone buzzed. It was Secretary Pitcher.“Sir,” Pitche

Chapter 74The hospital room fell silent, Ruth’s words hanging in the air like a heavy cloud. Olivia blinked, trying to process what she’d just heard.Before she could respond, Eunice approached the bed, holding out a drawing she’d been working on.“Look Ruth!” Eunice said brightly. “I made this for you.”The picture showed a garden full of colourful flowers, with a smiling figure in the centre labeled “Ruth.”Ruth’s eyes softened as she took the drawing. “Thank you, Eunice. This is beautiful. I’ll hang it up as soon as I get home.”Eunice beamed and skipped back to her colouring book, leaving Olivia and Ruth to share a quiet moment.“Ruth,” she said softly, taking her friend’s hand again. “What makes you think that? Josh adores you. He’s practically glued to your side most of the time.”Ruth let out a shaky breath, her eyes darting to Eunice, who was still engrossed in her colouring. She leaned in closer. “He’s been distant lately. Canceling plans, working late, and... there are cert

Chapter 75Olivia’s mouth gaped, refusing to close. “I can’t believe this. I would say we should give him the benefit of the doubt, but you know men."Ruth smiled mockingly. “I really thought I was being delusional. Or it was a brand name. I flipped through all the possibilities, and cheating is the conclusion I could come to.”“Have you asked him anything about it? Maybe subtly or...?” Olivia asked.Ruth nodded. “This morning before he left, I asked him if he had anything to tell me. He said no, kissed me and walked out like nothing had happened.Olivia huffed a bit. “Let’s calm down for a while. Forget about him for now. Focus on your surgery.Ruth nodded with a weak smile. “I also don’t plan on asking him anything about it for now. I’ll just watch from the sidelines."Ruth ran her fingers through her hair, sighing deeply. “Maybe I’m overthinking everything. Josh isn’t the type to cheat, but then again, people change. Besides, we’ve not known each other for a long time.”Olivia lean

Epilogue Nine months later. The sun streamed gently through the tall windows of the new Matt & Rose Foundation building, casting a warm glow over rows of seated attendees—executives, students, members of the press, and friends. The air held something rare: hope. Christian stood at the podium in a tailored navy suit, a small white ribbon pinned to his lapel. His gaze swept across the audience, lingering on the front row, where Olivia sat beside Ruth. Ruth wore a floral midi dress and a guarded smile. Next to her sat Roosevelt Lee—a former college buddy of Christian’s, and for the past month, Ruth’s quiet comfort. Eunice sat on Olivia’s lap, her legs swinging under her dress shoes, proudly sporting a glittery badge that read Junior Ambassador. She waved when Christian looked her way. He winked, then returned his attention to the microphone. “Today,” Christian began, his voice carrying with ease, “we honour two people whose kindness shaped who I am. My brother and sister-in-law

Chapter 120 Another four months had passed since Josh’s first court appearance. Today was judgment day.The courtroom felt colder this time—not from the air, but from the finality clinging to the walls like frost. The trial had dragged on for weeks—meticulous testimonies, irrefutable digital evidence, and the haunting voices of those Josh had manipulated or destroyed. Ruth had testified. So had Olivia. And Christian had taken the stand with quiet resolve, walking the court through every calculated step Josh had taken in the shadows.Now, there were no whispers. Just silence. The sentencing.Christian sat in the front row once again, between Ruth and Olivia. His hands rested on his knees, spine straight, jaw tight. Behind them, rows of strangers watched history unfold.Olivia wore a black blouse and slacks, her eyes fixed forward, unreadable. Ruth had opted for navy this time—a subtle, steady colour that matched the calm she was trying to summon.Josh was brought in, flanked by office

Chapter 119 Four Months LaterThe car ride to the courthouse was silent and tense. Christian drove, while Ruth and Olivia sat quietly in the back.The Massachusetts Criminal Courthouse loomed ahead, grim beneath a brooding sky. The winter air cut through even the thickest coats. News vans lined the perimeter like vultures, antennas raised like mechanical spines. Cameramen and reporters crowded the steps, lenses trained on the entrance, waiting for the man at the center of a storm no one had seen coming.Inside, the courtroom buzzed with restrained energy. Whispered conversations rose and fell like waves. Every seat was filled—press, family members, curious onlookers. The case of State vs. Joshua Smith had gripped the city: betrayal, murder, power, secrets.Christian sat at the front beside Olivia and Ruth, his expression carved from stone, but his eyes— his eyes burned. He hadn’t slept well in days, not since the indictment was finalised. The time between discovery and justice had fe

Chapter 118 Detective Harris shone his flashlight into the dark cavity beneath the floorboards, brushing aside layers of dust and cobwebs. “There’s definitely something down here.”Christian knelt beside the hole, squinting into the shadows. “What do you see?”“Some kind of box.” Harris reached down carefully and pulled out a dusty metal tin, about the size of a shoebox. It clanked faintly as he set it beside him. “It was wedged under one of the boards.”Detective Fisher stepped forward, gloved hands steady, and popped the lid. Everyone leaned in.Inside, nestled between scraps of old cloth, were two flash drives, a sealed plastic sleeve containing a small memory card—and, folded neatly at the bottom—a shirt.Fisher’s brow furrowed as he lifted the drives. “Bag these,” he instructed, handing them to another officer. “Handle with care. They could be encrypted.”Christian’s gaze narrowed. “What kind of shirt is that?”Fisher gently unfolded the fabric. It was a large-sized, worn men’s

Chapter 117 Olivia grabbed his arm before he could finish.“Christian.”He stopped and sank into the nearest sofa, the tension radiating from his frame.“Sweetheart,” he said gently, “come here. Let Uncle ask you something.”Eunice nodded and skipped forward. Christian crouched in front of her, his hands resting lightly on her small shoulders. His expression was calm, but there was an intensity in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.“Eunice,” he said softly, “what do you mean by a secret room?”Eunice beamed, clearly delighted to finally share her secret.“The one behind the big bookshelf in the living room! Daddy and Uncle Josh used to go there all the time. I saw them!” She puffed out her chest proudly. “They thought I didn’t know, but I did.”Christian’s grip tightened slightly. Olivia noticed the tick in his jaw.“When did you see them, sweetheart?” she asked gently, kneeling beside them. “Was it a long time ago?”Eunice nodded, her little hands tugging at the hem of Olivia’s

Chapter 116 The Mason mansion was quiet that night—the kind of stillness that carries the weight of things unsaid.Ruth sat curled on the plush living room couch, a blanket draped around her shoulders. But the warmth did nothing to ease the chill in her chest. The day’s events played on a loop in her mind— every word, every lie, every trace of Josh’s deception. She had spent months loving a man who never truly existed. Now all that remained was the rubble of a future that had never been real.Olivia sat beside her, close enough to offer support, but not suffocating.“Are you sure you don’t want to go upstairs and try to sleep?” she asked gently.Ruth let out a scoff and shook her head. “Sleep? Not a chance. Every time I close my eyes, I hear his voice. I see that smug smile he gave me—like he still had me wrapped around his finger.” Her voice cracked, raw with disbelief. “God, he really believed I was still his.”Olivia reached over and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “He’

Chapter 115 Ruth tightened her grip on the steering wheel as she pulled into the detention center's parking lot. The morning sun glared off the pavement, but its warmth couldn’t touch the cold knot twisting in her stomach. She exhaled slowly, bracing herself. This wasn’t a visit for closure. It wasn’t to ask for explanations.She needed to see the manipulative monster Josh truly was—again.For the past twenty-four hours, she had replayed every moment: every conversation, every touch, every whispered promise. All lies. Carefully crafted. Skilfully delivered. And she had believed them —believed him—because she thought he loved her the way she had loved him.She stepped out of the car, her heels clicking sharply against the asphalt as she walked toward the entrance. The moment she passed through security, the weight of the situation settled squarely on her shoulders. Cold fluorescent lights hummed overhead as officers led her down sterile hallways. And then, at last, she was there—facin

Chapter 114 The rhythmic clicking of Christian’s pen against his desk was the only sound in the vast office as he sat, deep in thought. The morning had started like any other, with reports to review and meetings to prepare for, but the weight of last night’s revelation pressed down on him like a storm cloud.Josh.He had spent quite some time going over every detail from the journal Ruth had found. The words scrawled across the pages painted a picture of a man who had been living a double life—outwardly charming, supportive, and loyal, yet seething with resentment beneath the surface.A knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. “Come in,” he called.The door opened, and Secretary Pitcher stepped inside, his expression neutral but professional. “Detective Fisher is here to see you, sir.”Christian straightened, nodding. “Send him in.”A moment later, Detective Fisher strode into the office. He was a middle-aged man with graying temples, sharp eyes that missed nothing, and an air

Chapter 113 "Make sure you have all these files assessed by the necessary departments and submitted to me by noon tomorrow," Christian said in a commanding tone."Yes, sir," Pitcher replied."As for what I told you about, continue directing them and see what they have to do about it. Also, reschedule my appointment with Mr. Manchester—I have to go pick up Eunice from sch—"Christian was interrupted by the buzzing phone on his desk. He quickly picked up the call as soon as he saw the caller ID.Olivia’s voice had been tight with urgency when she told him to come home. The undercurrent of alarm in her tone was enough to send his pulse spiking.By the time he strode into the Mason mansion, Olivia and Ruth were waiting for him in the living room, their faces pale.He was surprised to see Ruth with Olivia. Hadn't they just had a huge argument days before? Before he could ask anything, he noticed the thick, black journal sitting on the coffee table between them."What’s going on?" Christia
