All Chapters of The billionaire’s muse : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

John had made a speedy recovery; his condition stabilized just two days after his surgery. Caroline and Cole who had been taking care of him sighed a breath of relief. Caroline didn’t have time to take care of her own appearance during this period because she was completely focused on caring for her uncle. Cole still got incensed thinking about how Jenna had defamed his sister.He advised Caroline, “Sister, dad’s health has improved so I can take care of him alone. Why don’t you go to the store to buy yourself some new clothes, get anything you want, there’s still the remaining 100,000 dollars left in my card. Don’t be afraid to spend it all, I’ll be sure to earn some back soon.”“That can wait, we need to settle the issue of housing first,” Caroline rejected his offer.Realization dawned on Cole and he agreed, “You’re right, we can’t stay at that apartment anymore, we need a new place to live in. I’ll go and find us a nice place, so take this time to rest.”“I already have my eyes se

Security guards are human beings too, they deserve the respect accorded to working men and women. Needless to say, they weren’t particularly happy with the way Alice lorded over them. “Mrs Roberts, before we can do anything we have to determine who is in the right and who is in the wrong. Plus if you are- as you have said- the rightful owner, you have nothing to worry about. Open the case to prove your ownership of this villa and we’ll naturally escort Miss Roberts out.”“That’s right, if you’re truly the rightful owner, why won’t you open the case?”“You…” Alice seethed in a pool of anger. If she had known the security would be so useless, she wouldn’t have called them in the first place. Then again, how could she have known the dead Jeff Roberts would have a secret stash at home? It is only a property certificate. Did he need to hide it at such a secretive location?It is not a state secret! As angry as Alice was, she knew she couldn’t let Caroline open that case. She had no clue wh

“We’ll see,” Caroline answered. Her composure and fearlessness mocked Alice, it made Alice grit her teeth in anger. Alice tried as best as she could to leave with her head held high but it still couldn’t wash away the fact that she had lost. Alice left the Roberts Family villa under Caroline’s icy gaze. The reclamation of the estate was only Caroline’s first step, very soon, she was going to take back everything that was hers.And it would be with added interest! Alice, your end will be coming soon, so enjoy the few good days you have left. Caroline pulled back her gaze and she saw a familiar face on the opposite building’s second floor balcony. She was slightly surprised because it was Andrew Pierce. Their eyes met across the distance that separated the two villas.Andrew wore a white dress shirt and stared at her intensely with a glass of red wine in his hands. Sunlight showered on his statuesque physique, forming an alluring view. Caroline had no idea how long he had been standing

Cole was a natural optimist but extended poverty had eroded his hope for a bright future. Therefore, suddenly moving into the villa was, for him, an unreal experience.“Cole, I’m going to return to you a piece of advice you once gave me, don’t dwell on the past. I promise you, things are only going to look up in our future. Anyway, let’s not waste any more time, let me show you your room.”“Okay!” Cole followed with a faint smile plastered on his face. His room was on the second floor. Like John’s, it was a spacious single bedroom. It came equipped with a large wardrobe and opposite it was a large study table. Sitting on top of it was a high-tech laptop, the model that he had always wanted!Cole ran towards it happily, asking, “Sis, is this for me?”Caroline nodded with a smile. “Do you like it?”“Of course! Sis, you’re so good to me, I like it, I like everything here very much.”“I’m glad.”“Sis, this must have cost you quite a bit, right?” Cole calmed down and asked. Other than the

Before the two men left, they asked kindly, “Miss Roberts, are you sure you don’t want us to report this to the police? It’s better to bring in law enforcement when it comes to this kind of thing.”“I will personally go to the police station later, thank you so much for your help today. If there’s any way o can repay the two of you in the future, please don’t hesitate to come see me. I will not forget the kindness you’ve shown me today,” Caroline said seriously.The security officers laughed sheepishly. “It’s nothing, but if Miss Roberts needs any help in the future, don’t hesitate to approach us as well.”Caroline nodded and remembered in her heart the favor she was offered that day. Should the chance arise, she would definitely repay them the favor. The two men left in a hurry and Caroline waited at the hospital until Cole’s condition stabilized before she decided to return home.After some deliberations, Caroline resolved to come clean to John. She left out the part where Cole almo
