All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Christmas Surprise : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The car ride back to the hotel was quiet. The sky had darkened, the streets illuminated by the soft golden glow of Parisian street lights. Serena sat comfortably in the passenger seat, her bags from the day’s shopping neatly placed beside her, while Phillippe drove with an effortless ease. The entire day had been… surprising. She had let herself indulge in the beauty of Paris, in the luxury of shopping, in the moment.But now, reality was setting back in. Tomorrow, she would be on a plane back to Los Angeles, returning to the chaos she had momentarily escaped.“You’re awfully quiet,” Phillippe noted, his voice breaking the silence.Serena sighed, glancing at him. “Just thinking.”He smirked. “About me, I hope.”Serena rolled her eyes, shaking her head in amusement. “More like everything waiting for me back home.”Phillippe nodded, eyes still on the road. “Your scandal?”“My company,” Serena corrected. “The scandal is just a distraction. What mat

The morning sun streamed through the wide glass windows of an upscale penthouse, casting golden hues over the elegantly furnished living space. The atmosphere inside was tense but controlled as the four shareholders of Rocky’s Designs sat around a sleek mahogany table, waiting. The three men had arrived earlier, summoned by the one man who had been speaking about Serena’s removal for months. They murmured amongst themselves, sipping on expensive coffee, exchanging subtle glances. They knew the scandal had shaken the company, and whispers of instability had already spread through the business world. If ever there was a time to challenge Serena’s position, it was now. Then the door opened. Mr. Thomas Winters walked in with an air of quiet confidence, his sharp suit perfectly tailored, his movements deliberate. He was a man used to getting what he wanted, and today was no different. He took a seat at the head of the table, adjusting his cufflinks before fixing them all wit

Serena stormed out of the boardroom, her heels clicking aggressively against the marble floors as she made her way to her office. Her entire body was tense, her hands balled into fists at her sides. She had expected resistance, but the fact that they had already set up a vote, that the plan had been in motion before she even stepped back into the building—it infuriated her. Emma was right on her heels, practically jogging to keep up. “Serena, wait up!” she called, struggling to keep pace. Serena didn’t slow down. She shoved open the door to her office, stepping inside and dropping her bag onto the desk with more force than necessary. Emma slipped in after her, shutting the door behind her. “Alright, spill. What the hell just happened in there?” Serena let out a sharp breath, running a hand through her hair. “They’re planning to vote me out,” she said bluntly. Emma’s face fell. “What?” Serena let out a humorless laugh, pacing across the room. “Apparently, my leadership is ‘too

Ryan left his father’s house feeling a mixture of frustration and unease. He had gone there hoping to get answers, maybe even a confession, but instead, Thomas had played his usual games—denying everything with that same smug arrogance that always made Ryan’s blood boil. Still, his gut told him his father was involved. And if Thomas really was behind the plot to remove Serena from her own company, then Ryan wasn’t just going to stand by and let it happen. His grip tightened on the steering wheel as he drove toward Rocky’s Designs. He had to warn Serena. Minutes later, Ryan pulled up in front of the sleek glass building. He stepped out, ignoring the way a few employees glanced at him curiously as he made his way to the private elevator leading to Serena’s office. He wasn’t sure how she would react to him showing up unannounced, but that wasn’t his concern right now. He knocked once before pushing the door open. Serena was seated at her desk, reviewing some documents, but her ey

The exclusive country club’s private lounge was silent except for the occasional clinking of glasses and the muffled sound of jazz playing softly in the background. It was a place where powerful men gathered to discuss matters that could not be spoken about in boardrooms or over corporate emails. Here, in the dimly lit space lined with rich mahogany furniture and the scent of aged whiskey, deals were struck, enemies were made, and secrets were buried. Tonight was no different. Richard and Daniel sat across from Thomas Winters, the man they had placed their trust in to help them remove Serena from Rocky’s Designs. The expressions on their faces were tense, filled with frustration and uncertainty. They had expected tonight’s meeting to be a victory toast, a quiet celebration of Serena’s downfall. Instead, they had to sit here and report their failure. Thomas, on the other hand, sat completely still, his fingers drumming lightly against the glass of whiskey in his hand. His sh
