Revenge on My Billionaire Ex 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

I had expected Celestine to run after me, but it didn't happen. She must have been so shocked by my words.The parking lot was empty, and the sound of my heels seemed to echo across the vast space. Before I got into my car, I sensed someone watching me.The drive back to Queen's Courtyard was a blur. Soon, I reached the hotel and parked in my usual spot.“What happened in your meeting with Celestine?” Sapphire asked the moment I sat down on the upholstered sofa inside my office.I never realized how thirsty I was until she handed me a chilled cucumber juice. I took a long sip, and by the time I put the glass down, it was empty.“She denied everything,” I replied, making a face. “But I got what I wanted.” I rummaged through my handbag until I found what I was looking for and handed it to my stepsister.A strand of hair in a zip lock.“That's Celestine's. I want you to send it to the DNA testing center along with Cleo's hair sample.”Sapphire understood and nodded. “You can trust me wit

The elevator doors slid open with a soft ding, revealing the grand penthouse perched atop Queen's Courtyard. No one had access to that room except for me, Samantha, and Sapphire. Cleo's small hand gripped mine and Crimson’s tightly as she skipped alongside us, her favorite teddy bear backpack bouncing behind her. The stunning views of the city skyline were visible through the expansive windows. The sunlight looked ethereal, like a painting displayed in a grand museum. Cleo let go of our hands and ran toward the large, plush couch in the center of the room, giggling as she plopped down onto the soft cushions. “Just a minute. I'll give the child something to do so she won't disturb us.” Crimson strode towards Cleo, opened her backpack, and produced a jigsaw puzzle. The child sat down on the plush carpet, and Crimson placed the puzzle pieces within her reach. I shifted my gaze to the window, watching the view and wondering why I felt something was missing in my life, even thou

It was the longest time of my life.The car whooshed, feeling one with the wind. My eyes remained closed, fearing that when I opened them, I'd see a long river surrounded by exquisite flowers.When I opened my eyes the sound of a gunshot piercing through the air, causing my heart to jump in my chest. My hands tightened even more on the seatbelt, as if it could provide the strength I needed.I was amazed I hadn't fainted yet, considering how scared I was.Bang! The car window at the back shattered, tiny fragments of glass glinting on the dark floor.I pressed my fingers to my lips to stifle a scream. I’m not yet married, nor have I seen the man I want to marry and have children with, so I'm not ready to die yet.Crimson pressed harder on the accelerator, desperate to put as much distance between his car and the one following behind us.He cursed under his breath as another gunshot rang out.“Cling to whatever you can hold on to!”He suddenly made a split-second decision, veering off o

The next morning, Chief Dallas informed me that he had obtained the plate number of the car involved in the ambush. However, after running through the search data, it was discovered that the car had been stolen, making it impossible to trace it back to the real culprits.I assumed the Chief must have told Crimson the same thing since he had asked for our contacts before we left the police station yesterday.I couldn't help but feel frustrated by the news. However, there wasn't much that could be done except to wait.As I strolled through the penthouse, my mind was occupied with Sam's birthday preparations.Sam's birthday, as she had requested, was a small gathering of close friends and family. She wanted to keep things low-key, without any extravagant decorations or elaborate party planning.I first suggested that the venue could be in the banquet hall, but as expected, the birthday celebrant gently declined because the place was too grand and big for the occasion.When Sapphire sugge

Crimson pulled his pants back on, much to the disappointment of the audience, who had been enjoying his beautiful body. He gathered his shirt and also put it on.The game continued. Crimson spun the bottle.“Please, not me,” I mumbled under my breath.Finally, it stopped, pointing at a girl, making me heave a relieved sigh.“Truth or dare?” the master of the game asked.The woman in pink, wearing a halter top, laughed nervously before standing up. “Dare.”The master of the game grinned mischievously before saying, "I dare you to approach the man you have a crush on and confess your feelings."The woman's eyes widened, but she took a deep breath. With soft, hesitant steps, she slowly made her way to the young man seated next to Crimson.“I—I l-ike you,” she muttered, her cheeks a deep tomato red.The man beside Crimson broke into a smile. “I like you too, Dolly, ever since we were kids,” he confessed .The whole room erupted into cheers, watching the couple hug each other.I couldn't h
