All Chapters of My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Across town, Sebastian Woods sat in a sleek conference room, surrounded by his British investors. The mood was tense; the meeting had been called unexpectedly. They were supposed to arrive the next day morning, but their flight had changed, and now he had to face them early.It was annoying just sitting there for him. He hated urgent and unplanned business meetings like this, but he just couldn’t keep these people waiting. He liked to treat his foreign investors well as they were important to the growth of his company. He had to be there no matter what.But, despite the urgent nature of the meeting, Sebastian’s mind was miles away.“President Woods?” one of the investors interrupted, waving a hand in front of him. “Are you with us?”“Sorry, yes. Let’s continue,” he replied, shaking his head to clear the fog of distraction.He wanted to focus on work, but his mind kept wandering back to HER.It was funny how he kept glancing at his phone on the table, hoping for a beep, a call, or even

Meanwhile, as Sebastian drove away, his mind raced.How could she just show up like that?He felt sick from the memories the woman stirred within him. The nights spent dreaming of what could have been, the love that had once filled his heart, now twisted into something dark and painful.God! She had turned him into a shadow of himself.Why had she returned?Was she here to stir up trouble?Sebastian was a clever man, quick to understand the intentions of others. She has to be here to cause trouble. Nothing more, nothing less.He gripped the steering wheel tightly as he navigated through the congested streets of Melbourne. The evening traffic crawled at a snail's pace, much worse than usual.Soon enough, he got to know there was a recent ghastly accident. A multi-car pileup around the scene had brought the main road to a standstill.Because of this, he was stuck in the traffic jam for hours with a throbbing headache pulsating at his temples.As Sebastian sat there, trapped in his sleek

Grandpa Woods’ commanding presence filled the room.“Not another word from any of you,” he scoffed, lifting his walking stick in the air. “You minions should be ashamed of yourselves! Kourtney is family now, and I will not have you bullying my young granddaughter-in-law. You ought to be ashamed!”The women fell silent, their expressions shifting from smug satisfaction to shock.Since when did Thomas Woods become such a softie?Since when did he become so protective of anyone, especially an outsider?It was as if the arrival of Kourtney to the Woods Estate had flipped a switch in him, and suddenly, he was like a mere shadow of his former self.They couldn’t recognize the Old Man anymore.How did Kourtney manage to curry his favor in less than 3 days when they had known him for decades but couldn't?The way he fell enchanted with her in such a short time was still so hard to explain...No one saw it coming!Meanwhile, Kourtney's heart warmed at his defense, and she felt a small smile t

After about an hour in Lilian’s apartment, the tears slowly subsided. Kourtney pulled back, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.“I didn’t mean to bother you this much,” she said, her voice shaky.Lilian eyed her as if she just said something so annoying and offensive. “Shut up, Girl. You know I’m always here for you.”“Thank you, Lil,” Kourtney replied, biting her lip to hold back fresh tears.“You know, Kourt. It’s a shame! Isn’t it? I didn’t even get to enjoy being the best friend of a Billionaire’s wife before it all fell apart. We didn’t get to use his private jet to go see the penguins in Antarctica!” Lilian exclaimed, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she tried to lighten the atmosphere. “Oh, come on! You’re telling me we never got to step foot on his luxury yacht, sitting pretty in the Melbourne harbor? What a waste!”“Pffffft….” Kourtney couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the absurdity of it all.As usual, Lilian always found a way to make her laugh, even during

“You expect me to believe that? You two were spotted hugging. You spent the night with her! You marked her! I’m not fucking stupid!”Sebastian let out a long, exasperated sigh.He was starting to feel a strong headache.“I don’t know how she came up with those. But I never touched that woman!” He said, referring to the marks captured on Scarlet’s neck and shoulders.“I can’t listen to this anymore!” Kourtney knew she was about to lose it.Sebastian’s excuses were making zero sense!How could the marks appear out of nowhere if he hadn’t made them?She took a step back, desperate to shut the door back in his face. But Sebastian was alert.“I came back home last night. I did not spend the night with her!” He said, holding her in place.“Let go of me. You’re a disgusting Liar! Let go of me now!” Kourtney yelled at him as unshed tears threatened to start spilling from her eyes.She couldn’t believe the man was trying to gaslight her, trying to make her question her own sanity.She knew he
