The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 158 "His Prize"
Madell also stayed in the mansion for a long time after the humiliating scene that happened few days ago. She was bored to hell and was annoyed that she had nothing to do except waiting until the news subsided. Therefore, when she heard that her cousin came to their house, she felt excited to see Cassius. Madell couldn’t remember how her first meeting with Cassius was. All she knows is that she was captivated by his looks, and that she wanted to be hers, even if that relationship is a taboo, given that they are blood related. Perhaps, she wanted him more after she found out that Cassius is dating the person whom she hates the most. After hearing that Cassius came to the mansion, Madell asked the maids to doll herself very quick. She wore a nice dress and sweet perfume. Then, she hid the wounds and bruises with thick make-up. The make-up did not hide all of her wounds, but her face looks better than before. With an elated heart, Madell went out of her room with a smile on her face.

The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 160 "Dicey Way"
Cassius went home. As soon as he arrived inside the condo, he hopped down on the sofa and stared at the ceiling in the middle of the dim light. Usually, Cassius would go take a bath right away as he does not want the dirt he got from the outside stick on him any longer, especially when he came home after work. However, the last person whom he had contact with is Harriet, and perhaps that’s the reason why he’s slacking. He brought his hand upward and covered his eyes with his arm. “Now that I said it to her, we cannot act as couple anymore,” he said with bitter taste at the tip of his tongue. As much as possible, Cassius wanted to hide the truth from Harriet, so he can keep her by his side for more time. But his grandfather’s words became a water in the middle of the desert. [ “Loving someone will never be wrong. Being greedy is. Because greed and selfishness killed a lot, physically and emotionally.”] He placed his hand down and opened his eyes again. ‘Grandpa is right,’ he th

Cassius drank a lot.He did not intend to drink many, but he only realized that he’s tipsy when he had difficult time focusing on things around him. Well, unlike Zion, who stumbled and fidgeted as he went back to his own condominium.Cassius slumped down on his bed. He did not forget to drink honey water, and so, he felt a bit better than before.Staring at nothing, Cassius recalled what Zion told him just a moment ago.[“I will do anything to make her fall in love with me again; away from you.”] He cannot blame Zion for saying that and for trying to make him angry. Between them, Zion spent more time with Harriet. He’s been in love with her for a long time, that he didn’t notice his feelings. And that is Zion’s fault.‘He has lot of time to discover his feelings,’ Cassius complained.Sure, Zion felt betrayed that his cousin fell in love with the same woman. But was it really Cassius’ fault that he fell for the woman whom he felt guity for ever since his young?Cassius sighed.He did
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 162 "What Couple Do"
Cassius and Harriet went to visit a convenience store near the condominium building. They are sitting on the chairs outside the store, with round table between them and a huge umbrella above. It’s already 9:30 in the evening. During this hour, there are less people in the street. Perhaps because the convenience store isn’t on the main street that’s why it’s quiet there. The two of them cannot go back to the condominium because they are both afraid that Zion might come to visit Cassius. Well, they didn’t tell this to each other but they thought the same. After Harriet confessed her feelings, they felt suddenly awkward to each other. It was hard to think of topic to say. But while sitting and holding their hands, they fell happy and contented. Oh how they wish that time would stop and the night became longer than usual. “Ahmmm,” Cassius murmured. Harriet shyly stared at him. “Hmm?” “Well, ahhh,” he awkwardly uttered. “You said before that you were so hungry. Did you eat a lot i
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 163 "Love And Desires"
When Harriet finished her simple dinner in the convenience store, they decided right away where to go next. It’s obvious that the two of them don’t want to go home. The night will be long, just like what they wished. As they want to watch movie together, Cassius suggested to visit the movie theatre that he found recently. He said that the place is still open until 4am. To go in the place, they ride Harriet’s car with her driver to accompany them. “How did you know the theatre?” Harriet asked. “When I going out by myself, I found it by chance,” Cassius answered. “That’s cool. Who knows that someone like you who came from abroad knows a lot around the place more than me?” “Maybe because I love watching movies.” “Don’t lie. You said you only watch animal documentaries.” Cassius avoided her gaze. Thinly narrowing her eyes, Harriet asked, “Don’t tell me that you also watch documentaries in the cinema?” Cassius coughed and then looked at the road. “We’re still far.” All of sudde
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 164 "Watching Movie"
When Harriet was working as the Chairman’s secretary, she had no time to relax and watch movies. But if she had spare time, she watched movies inside her room. Rather than having a long drive just to visit a movie theatre, Harriet prefers staying in her room and curl into a nice little ball on her bed, then pass out to a good movie.However, tonight will be different.This is her real first date with Cassius, so, a movie date in a theatre isn’t a bad thing. Besides, if the two of them are alone in Cassius’ condo, Harriet feared that something would happen between them and that is very dangerous.She’s not conservative in that area but they are just new couple. True, they dates numerous time. However, those dates aren’t real. She was sincere whenever she’s with him, but as Cassius’ real girlfriend, she wanted their first date to be sweet and innocent.‘How dare I to wish something innocent when we already kiss that deep inside the car?’ Harriet interrogated her conscience.Harriet was
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 165 "She Came From The Future Too"
It’s already morning when Cassius went back to his condominium. After taking a quick shower, he went to his bed and stared at the ceiling for a long time. He’s sober. He drank lot of beers before but now he’s completely sobered. Yet, when he recalled the kisses he had with Harriet, he felt as if he’s getting drunk again. He held his lips, recalling how much soft Harriet’s lips, and how sweet her tongue was. The corners of his mouth stretched upwards. He’s chuckling as he grabbed his pillow. He hugged it, buried his reddened face on it and then stomped on his feet. He’s aware he’s acting like a child right now. But he does not care. He could not explain how happy he is now that he and Harriet are dating. Panting, he pulled down the pillow and looked at nothing. He closed his eyes and recalled the moment when Harriet confessed her feelings. Cassius knew more than anyone else how much Harriet loved Zion. Therefore, he’s okay even if he needs to wait for a long time. When he was

Something that Zion did not imagine would happen. He and Reese made a deal. Reese promised that she will do her best to get Harriet out of the prison, and that is by confessing Astell about Harriet’s real identity. In exchange, Zion had to marry Reese even if she’s an impostor. Zion gambled his whole life just to protect Harriet. But in the end, Harriet died. Why didn’t he hear anything about this beforehand?

Harriet’s POVMy heart raced and my chest tightened as the cold fist of understanding squeezed the breath out of me.Reese pushed me, and now, I am underwater.The moonlight above mocked me.It was getting so hard. I guessed my legs were still moving, but I couldn’t feel my toes anymore. The water snugged in around me.My limbs were willing to win this fight. But soon, they decided to rest.I took a deep breath as the water closed in around me.‘I’ll never see my father again.’‘And Cassius, he will cry if I die, right?’The light filtering down through the water mocked me. A slight pressure pushed on my chest from the inside.My clothes swirled uselessly around me, weighing down even further. A ringing filled my ears, but otherwise it’s quiet. My lungs burnt. I clamped my shut trying to kick my legs. The urge to breathe is unbearable. My chest was going to explode.‘No.No…I don’t want to die again.I didn’t come back to be in this state again.Please…’As I prayed so hard, I watche
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 206 "Dying Again"
Cassius shoved his hand inside his pocket. He made sure that he brought the ring with him before going to Harriet’s mansion. He wanted to rent a huge place to do his proposal. But he changed his mind. If there’s one good place to do it, then it is the Wyatt’s garden. Smiling, Cassius entered the mansion. As he stepped inward, Cris, the maid, stopped when she saw him. “Sir Cassius!” she gasped. Cassius looked at the maid who called him in a surprised tone. Cris ran towards him. She was very confused. “W-Why are you here, Sir?” Cris asked. Cassius forged a cough as he shyly answered, “W-Where’s Harriet? I came here to meet her.” “Huh?” That’s weird. As far as Cris can remember, it was Cassius who texted Harriet to meet him in the Damsel park. But, here he is, looking for her. “This morning, I lost my phone. So, I was worried if Harriet was waiting for my text or call,” Cassius added. It was true that he lost his phone this morning, but he was only saying an excuse to see Harr
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 206 "Damsel Park"
Harriet couldn’t sleep well that night. She rolled onto her bed, thinking how and when would Cassius propose to her. She was very excited. “You look like you’re in a good mood,” Astell noticed while eating breakfast with his daughter. Harriet smiled at him and said, “Yes. It is because I found something that I shouldn’t see. Now, I am excited.” Astell chuckled. Despite everything that happened lately, he was glad that his daughter is feeling alright. “What is your plan today?” Astell asked. “I am going to check the new project you are working on. You told me to learn more, so I am doing my best to follow your steps, father.” “Really? I don’t want to force you to take this path. If you want something to achieve, you can have it.” “No, father. Ever since I worked as Grandpa’s secretary, I knew that I love this job. Please, let me enjoy learning from your line of work.” At first, Astell doubted if Harriet would really like to continue his journey as the owner of Wyatt corporation
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 205 "Unfinished"
Harriet’s POV It’s been one month since that day. I would never forget the time I saw the truth in my own eyes. That moment when Zion was begging his father to come back. [“Poor child. I did my best. But I guess you are more qualified to teach him.”] Those were the murderer's last words before disappeared. All along, we suspected Sherly, Finn, Madell or Reese. In the end, we discovered that the murderer was neither of them, but residing in one of them. It was Finn’s personality, Victor. When Cassius and I arrived in the mansion to save the Chairman, we only saw Grandpa gasping for air on the floor while holding his neck, and Zion begging his father. It was quite a sight to remember; the sight where the future changed and no one died. The Chairman was taken to the hospital. Finn either, before the police took him and interrogated. When Grandpa regained his consciousness, he told us everything, from the fact that Victor killed Diana in order to protect the police. Until now, Gran
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 204 "Father and Sons"
Sorren called Finn after meeting Elona. The prosecutor was still interrogating Madell, and Reese was on the run. Yet, Sorren does not want another day regretting not knowing the truth. More than the corporation’s reputation, Sorren prioritized saving his son from the nightmare and protecting the people around him. Thus, he sat in front of Finn, with Jasmine tea settled on the center table. No one took a sip as they talked in silent arguments with their eyes. Just like in the original future. “Why did you call me? I was very busy, father. Also, it is also weird for you to look for me when I know how much you hate me.” “Why did you do that, Finn?” Sorren asked. Finn stared at his father and tilted his head. “What do you mean?” Sorren gritted his teeth as he stared at his son. “Why did you kill Diana?” Finn’s eyes widened. He lowered his head and acted, “I don’t know what you are talking about. Diana left me a long time ago. She’s not dead!” “W-What?” Then with his head ha

A week ago, Zion met with the owner of Elona boutique. Sitting across Zion, Elona smiled. She stared at the young man who resembled his parents, the handsome Finn and the gorgeous Sherly. Then, with a grin on her lips, she said, “It seemed that everyone from that family came and visited my shop. The father, the mother and the daughter. And now, It’s you. It made me feel like I am already part of the family.” Zion observed Elona’s sneer before he mimicked her expression; the kind of beam that wouldn’t reach the eyes. “To be a real part of our family, meeting my father, mother and sister isn’t enough. There is one person you should meet,” Zion responded. “Do you mean you?” “Somehow. But there’s one more person. That’s the head of the house, my Grandpa, the Chairman of Fantell group.” Elona stopped for a moment before she chuckled. “Wait a minute. Is that a threat? Did you come here to threaten your father’s mistress?” “No. Even if you are his real mistress, I wouldn’t waste my
