Semua Bab The Billionaire Heiress's Contract Marriage: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Alexis arrived at the company with a renewed sense of focus. She pushed aside the pounding in her head, the exhaustion in her bones.The crisis with Moreau wasn’t over yet.And if there was one thing she did know, it was that she needed to deal with this before Julian could interfere any further.As she stepped into the office, her assistant rushed toward her.“Miss Montgomery, you’re here,” Her assistant said breathlessly. “I was worried when I didn’t hear from you last night.”Alexis forced a small smile. “I’m fine. What’s the update?”She hesitated, concern flickering in her eyes. “We managed to stall the media fallout, but Moreau’s people are already moving to cover their tracks.”Alexis’s jaw tightened. “That’s not surprising. He was too confident last night. Someone is backing him.”The assistant nodded. “I did some digging, and…” She lowered her voice. “It looks like Charlotte Wainwright is involved.”A sharp chill ran down Alexis’s spine.Charlotte.Of course.A bitter smile c

Meanwhile, the truth was far more complicated than Alexis believed.Harrison Montgomery hadn't known before the marriage. He had found out after she had already married Julian. And when he did, his rage had been unmatched.The confrontation had happened in Julian’s office, behind closed doors, away from the prying eyes of the world."You married my daughter for revenge?" Harrison’s voice had been like ice, each word cutting sharper than a blade.Julian, for once, hadn't had a clever response. He hadn't denied it, because, in the beginning, it had been true.But what had started as revenge had turned into something else entirely.Something he couldn't control.Something that terrified him.Because now, losing Alexis wasn't an option."I love her," Julian had finally said, his voice lower, almost reluctant.Harrison had scoffed. "Love? Don’t insult me. You used her. You played her like a pawn, just like your father would have. And you think you love her?"Julian’s jaw had clenched, his

Julian sat in his office, the city lights glowing dimly through the tinted windows, but his mind wasn’t on the breathtaking skyline. It was on Vivian Devereux.His mother’s involvement in everything had never been a secret, but he hadn’t realized just how deep her influence ran, until now.He had spent the entire morning digging, tracing her connections, following the trail of influence she had left in her wake.Vivian had always been a master strategist, a woman who knew how to pull the right strings without ever dirtying her hands. But now, Julian wasn’t just looking at her as his mother. He was looking at her as the enemy.And she had been orchestrating this from the shadows all along.He leaned back in his chair, rubbing a hand down his face as Victoria entered, holding a thick folder.“You’re not going to like this,” she warned, placing it on his desk.Julian exhaled sharply before flipping it open. The documents inside were a tangled web of offshore accounts, fake investments, a

Julian stormed into Charlotte Wainwright’s penthouse like a man possessed, his fury barely contained.His patience had run dry, and his restraint had snapped the moment he pieced together just how deep her involvement ran.She had gone too far.She was behind everything.Ryan.Moreau.The collapse of his fragile relationship with Alexis.Enough was enough.Charlotte was lounging in her dimly lit living room, a glass of wine in one hand, the other draped lazily over the armrest of a velvet chaise lounge.The city lights glittered behind her, their reflections bouncing off the expansive floor to ceiling windows.Her long silk robe barely clung to her shoulders, and the smug smirk that curved her lips only deepened when she saw him standing there, seething."You should really learn to knock, Julian," she murmured, swirling the wine in her glass. "It’s quite rude to barge into a lady’s home uninvited."Julian’s fists clenched at his sides. He was in no mood for her theatrics."Enough game

Charlotte watched the chaos unfold from a distance, a slow, satisfied smile playing on her lips.Julian was exactly where she wanted him, trapped. Distracted. Too busy fighting for his company’s survival to realize he was losing Alexis by the second.Vivian Devereux had been right.Julian could be broken.He wasn’t untouchable. And now, with his world spiraling out of control, she had the upper hand.Still, she wasn’t done.This was only the beginning.If Julian thought he had suffered already, he had no idea what was coming next.The morning of the press conference arrived faster than Julian anticipated.He had spent the entire night with his legal team and PR strategists, trying to salvage what was left of his reputation.The weight of Charlotte’s deception and the looming media backlash sat heavily on his shoulders. He had underestimated her once, and now, she was coming for blood.The conference room at Devereux Enterprises was packed with reporters, flashing cameras, and a live b
