Heath grabbed some papers and headed downstairs, where Thane and Evelyn were chilling with the senior Mr. Fairbank. Seeing Heath, Evelyn shrank a bit, hoping he'd forget that awkward moment earlier.Heath didn't even spare her a glance, which made her sigh in relief. But then, he turned to Mr. Fairbank and was like, "Can we get someone to clean out my study? Like, everything, door frames included."Evelyn's face went pale. She looked at Heath, who didn’t even look back at her, then he turned to Thane and said, "Keep your women in line, will you? They’re all the same!"Thane was fuming, glanced at Evelyn, who looked back at him all innocent, trying to say it wasn't her fault. Heath didn’t stick around to deal with them, just left.Driving back to his place, a sweet smell hit him the moment he walked in, and there was Aurora, all clingy, asking, "You went to the Fairbanks'? Saw Evelyn?""Yeah, saw her," Heath muttered, looking a bit off as he changed his shoes."Something wrong? Grandpa

So, the rapidly growing Fairview Media in the entertainment industry turns out to be a subsidiary of Skyline Media! And the contract was signed four years ago! Meaning, Fairview Media wasn't sold to Skyline; it was part of Skyline from the get-go!Aurora said into the mic, "You've seen the contract. Fairview Media is under Skyline Media. I can't just sell the studio to anyone, private or company. Any Fairview contract has to get the green light from Skyline."Evelyn looked at the contract on the screen and then at Aurora, a bad feeling creeping up. She glared at Aurora, "What are you getting at, Aurora?"Aurora smiled and said, "Haven't caught on, big sis? Means no matter how many Fairview Media seals you stamp or how many times you sign my name, it's no good without Skyline's seal and Alaric's signature. I'm just an employee; I don't have the say to sell the studio."Evelyn stared at her. She knew what Aurora meant but couldn't wrap her head around how Fairview could be a subsidiary

Aurora shot back with the same fake smile, saying, “What’s up with sisters? Aren’t youalso my sister? And you’restill trying to snatch my company, right?”As soon as Aurora said this, Evelyn’s face tensed up a bit, and the reporters below went wild. This was Aurora herself saying that the takeover was all about Evelyn using dirty tricks to try and steal the company!Evelyn glared at Aurora, thinking, has she lost her mind? What’s the media gonna make of this?Then Aurora turned to the cameras, gave a smile, and said, “Just kidding, don’t mind me.”Now, Evelyn was confused. What exactly was Aurora up to? Wasn’t she here to stir up trouble? Why was she suddenly helping Evelyn out?This press conference had gone on too long. Aurora suggested a ten-minute break before continuing, and honestly, the reporters
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife We Have No Relationship
Yvonne didn’t really want to make a scene at Vespera’s event, but with her family already disappointed in her choices—like her failed stint in showbiz and now barely keeping it together with her fashion brand—dragging family scandals into the limelight was the last thing she wanted. If that happened, it would totally let her father down. So while Yvonne could afford to lose her image, she absolutely had to disrupt this press conference.Blocked by Aurora, Yvonne tried to get help from Evelyn, but Evelyn ignored her completely, acting as if she was blind to the whole drama.The journalists were all over the scene, snapping away. One of them stood up and shouted, "If the buyout is fake, and the brand transfer is fake, does that mean Zane and Soraya’s romance is also fake?"Aurora just laughed and said, "Why not ask Zane himself?"Just then, the doors swung open, and Zane and Soraya walked in. Soraya was dressed in a cute, sweet little dress, smiling sweetly next to Zane. But Zane wasn’t

Soraya plopped down on the ground and nobody bothered about her. Instead, Aurora whipped out her phone to call the police, declaring, "I'm reporting Ms. Soraya of Evelyn Media for kidnapping and threatening my artist, disrupting our business operations."Aurora didn't hang up, so her words broadcast across the entire venue. Soraya, smiling, looked at Aurora and said, "You think this scares me?"Aurora ignored her, and soon the police arrived, pulling Soraya up from the ground. Soraya fiercely broke free from them and rushed over to Zane, who quickly shielded Cheryl behind him, his face showing clear disgust and wariness."Zane, I'm totally serious about you! I really love you! Why can you only see Cheryl?" Soraya yelled like someone who'd been let down.Zane, holding Cheryl’s hand, replied, "Well, I guess I never told you, your sincerity makes me sick!"Soraya turned pale as paper, looking towards Evelyn. Evelyn casually waved her hand, signaling the police to take Soraya away. Soraya

They were going to throw a big party to announce and celebrate this.While flipping through some documents, Aurora couldn't help but sigh, "In the end, the companyis Maxwell's. Even if I expose their secrets, I can't change grandpa's will."Heath, sitting beside her, said, "You can change things if you really want to."Aurora turned to him and asked, "What do you mean?""Do you want the companyor not?" Heath pressed.Shaking her head, Aurora replied, "No, I only wanted itto use as leverage against Isabella. I'm not actually interested in these properties, but it feels like letting grandpa down if they end up in someone else's hands."Heath stroked her hair and said, "Then take it back. It's rightfully yours."
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Maxwell is Not Your Son
Aurora watched Sophia's expression and couldn't help but chuckle. Sophia was always like this—timid and prone to stirring up drama.Evelyn, holding Elowen's hand, came over and asked, "Sophia, what are you guys talking about?"Sophia turned around, struggling to speak, while Elowen gently asked, "What’s wrong with Sophia? Has someone been bullying her?"Aurora laughed and said, "Does Elowen always think so darkly? Just because someone’s quiet, it means they’re bullied?"Elowen chuckled and said, "Not really, but seeing Sophia with you looking all upset, it’s easy to think something bad’s happening."Aurora continued with a smile, "Here I am talking to the Pendletons and I have you all scared, not sure if it’s me who’s troubling or if you’re just being a busybody!"“Aurora! How can you say that!” Evelyn glared at her and said, “How can you talk to Elowen like that?”Aurora burst out laughing, "Sis, you guys are super close. Are you two both planning to marry into the Fairbank family?"

The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife The End
The next morning, Vespera was woken up at dawn, barely getting a few hours of sleep. Known as a dedicated designer, she was usually the first one awake, but today she could barely keep her eyes open. As the stylist worked on her hair and makeup, Vespera sat half-dazed, drifting in and out, completely unaware of the hands tugging her in all directions.Two hours later, with her hair and makeup done, Vespera finally slipped into her wedding dress. The reality hit her, and for the first time, she fully realized she was about to get married.Memories flooded back, particularly that first encounter with Alaric. He’d been sprawled on the steps outside, a bit too tipsy, looking up with half-closed eyes, asking, “What’s wrong with me?” Vespera, surprising even herself, had replied, “Nothing at all.”Back then, he was just a bright, headstrong young man, carrying so many dreams and frustrations. Somewhere along the way, he’d grown into this strong, grounded man. And somehow, after everything,
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Ready to Be Married
It wasn’t until a few days after their engagement that it even crossed Vespera’s mind to ask about the villa.Alaric confirmed he’d bought it, explaining that he’d thought she might like it and decided to go for it. As for renovations, he wanted to wait until she officially agreed to everything; after all, they’d eventually need their own place—living with Zane forever wasn’t exactly an option.By now, the news of Alaric and Vespera’s engagement had spread everywhere. Alaric was practically ready to announce it to the world on social media, but thankfully, Aurora stepped in, suggesting he keep things low-key since he was the company CEO. Plus, Vespera wasn’t exactly a fan of the public spotlight.Alaric reluctantly held back but couldn’t resist dropping hints in his friend group chat every other day. Heath and the rest were used to it by now—except Lysander, who constantly complained that he was drowning in a sea of "lovey-dovey vibes," being the lone single guy among them.When Auror

The next morning, Alaric woke up, remembering last night’s events. He pinched himself—no, it wasn’t a dream. Vespera had actually said yes.He jumped out of bed, showered, changed, and even straightened his tie before driving to her studio. There she was, focused on work, wearing a stylish dress and light makeup, looking absolutely radiant.When he walked in, Vespera looked up, surprised. “Finally awake?” she asked with a smirk.Alaric simply nodded, taking her hand without a word and leading her downstairs. She stumbled after him, asking, “Where are we going?”Alaric gently nudged her into his car, driving her toward a villa. Vespera was clueless and a bit shocked, glancing around, unsure of what was happening.They finally arrived at a beautiful villa. Alaric opened the door, and she asked, “Did you just buy this?”&n
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Alaric Proposed
The next morning, Alaric was finally over his fever. When Vespera woke up, he was already waiting in the living room. After breakfast, they both headed to their respective offices.Aurora’s team reported they’d successfully returned to the Whitmore family’s estate. For her, that had been a fierce battle. For Vespera, however, the real challenge lay ahead: the design competition.Ever since her last conversation with Yvonne, where Yvonne had hinted that everything she had was due to Aurora and Alaric’s support, Vespera had been determined to prove herself. She wanted to be worthy of Alaric and was pouring all her energy into this competition.After submitting her designs, Vespera anxiously waited at home for results. When the winners were finally announced online, she saw her name in second place. The relief and pride were overwhelming. She had finally achieved something worth sharing with Alaric. Now, with the award ceremony in the UK, she had no choice but to let him know.Expecting
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife She Misses Him
Vespera had reclaimed her brand, and Alaric seemed to be maturing by the day, treating her like she was his entire world. Everything seemed to be falling into place.After that showdown in Alaric’s office with Elowen, she hadn’t shown her face again. Vespera figured it was over, that Elowen had finally given up. Everyone else thought the same.But on the day they took graduation photos, Aurora disappeared. Heath and Alaric eventually tracked her down — Elowen had taken her. Vespera was frantic, blaming herself for not protecting Aurora better.Heath and Alaric couldn’t stop Aurora’s flight at the airport, so they booked tickets to the UK to get her back. Vespera had too much to handle here to join them, so she only saw Alaric off at the airport.He held her close, whispering, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon, and Aurora will be safe.”Vespera hugged him back tightly. She trusted him. Alaric and Heath would get this done — Elowen had crossed a line that couldn’t be ignored, and she knew

This past week, Aurora had been tirelessly setting up to counter Evelyn and her allies, Yvonne and Elowen. Meanwhile, Alaric, working alongside Aurora to reclaim Elowen’s brand.A week later, the press conference went ahead as planned. Alaric helped Vespera pick an outfit, stayed until she’d finished her makeup, and then drove her to the venue himself.The conference, led by Evelyn, was a disaster for her team. They failed to take over Aurora’s company, couldn’t drive her out of the Pendleton family, and made no progress in placing Yvonne and Elowen as CEO and head designer. Their plans had backfired entirely.Leaving the venue, Yvonne, clearly shaken, stepped in front of a car without looking and was hit, blood pooling around her. Vespera, stunned and dizzy at the sight, would have collapsed if Alaric hadn’t steadied her.Frantically, Vespera fumbled with her phone to call home, stammering, “It’s Yvonne… she’s bleeding so much…”As someone unaccustomed to such violence, Vespera was t
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife We’ll Get Everything Back
Alaric looked at Vespera with an innocent expression and said, “It’s not what you think. I’m not a creep.”“Not a creep?” Vespera glared at him. “Then what were you doing in my room?”Alaric almost groaned. “If I told you I was here to give you a massage, would you believe me?”“Total creep!” she shouted. “Sneaking into my bed while I was asleep!”Alaric shot back, “I did not! When I woke up, you were the one curled up on me!”Vespera paused, recalling the moment she woke up. Okay, maybe she had been cozying up to him. Wait a second—was he implying she was the one acting out of line?Seeing her hesitation, Alaric grinned smugly. “See? You were just as comfortable with it!”“Get out!” Vespera yelled.Alaric left the room, trying not to smile too much. Sure, nothing happened, but just getting to hold her felt amazing. Although… his shoulder was sore from her leaning on him all night, so he headed back to his room to grab a few more hours of sleep.Vespera, alone in her room, listened as
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Close Your Eyes
Vespera walked ahead, casual and carefree in a T-shirt and shorts, no makeup, and even bare of high heels, while Alaric trailed close behind with a jacket in hand, grinning like a fool. Everyone in the lobby couldn’t help but notice—their usually composed CEO was tagging along, practically beaming.Catching up to her, Alaric draped his jacket over her shoulders. “How could you leave without dressing warmer? You’ll end up with a stomach ache tonight,” he said, his voice soft with affection.Vespera felt a warm flutter in her chest but stayed quiet, letting his jacket settle around her as they walked out. Alaric was thrilled she hadn’t brushed him off; emboldened, he slipped his hand into hers, wrapping her cold fingers in his.For a moment, she stiffened, then relaxed, letting her hand nestle securely in his. Together, they headed to the parking lot, Alaric practically floating with joy. This felt better than winning the lottery!Bringing her home, Alaric felt out of his depth—things h
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Do You Love Me
Alaric stood in his office, with Elowen right in front of him, her hand tugging at his tie, a faint smirk hidden beneath her slightly indignant expression.Seeing the scene, Vespera nearly turned around and left right then and there. But she reminded herself of her purpose for coming today. She was done hiding from Elowen. Even if Alaric wasn’t hers in the end, she’d be damned if he ended up with someone like Elowen.So Vespera strode into the office, fixed her gaze on them, and asked, “What’s going on here?”At the sound of her voice, Alaric spun around, fumbling to free his tie from Elowen’s grip. But Elowen held tight, glancing over at Vespera with a slight smile. “Miss Thornfield? You’re here?”Vespera closed the door behind her, gave a slight nod, and asked again, “What exactly is this about?”Elowen smirked. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to ask Alaric if I could borrow a few people to help promote my new fashion line. Not sure if he’s on board with it, though.”“Not a chance,
