DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 15 GARBAGE
The polished marble floors of the Lancaster Consortium Headquarters gleamed under the light of the grand chandeliers as Mariya Carter and Vincent Langford stepped into the reception hall.The towering glass walls and the intimidating air of corporate power made even seasoned entrepreneurs take a second breath.But not Vincent.He walked with a swagger, a cocky smirk on his face as if he already owned the place.“This is it, Mariya,” he said confidently, straightening his tie.“With your company’s reputation and my family’s backing, we’ll walk out of here holding the development rights like kings—well, queen and king.”Mariya glanced at him, her expression calm but firm. “Don’t be too sure. Markos Lancaster isn’t the type to be impressed by titles or family names. He deals in leverage, not flattery.”Vincent scoffed. “Please. That guy might be powerful, but he’s just another tycoon. Everyone has a price. Besides, our proposal is solid. He’d be stupid to reject it.”Mariya didn’t res
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 16 CRYING BROTHER
Vincent's face flushed crimson with embarrassment. His grand plan to impress Mariya Carter by showcasing his family's influence had crumbled spectacularly. The sleek, modern office of Markos's consortium towered around them, its glass walls and minimalist design emphasizing the power disparity between them and the elusive tycoon.How could Father not even have Markos's contact? This is humiliating! After all my boasting to Mariya...Vincent cleared his throat, adjusting his tie nervously. "There seems to be a minor communication issue with my father. Let me try another approach."Mariya studied him with a mixture of disappointment and resignation. "Perhaps we should consider other options, Vincent. It's clear that your family's influence isn't as extensive as you claimed.""No, no! My father is simply busy with other matters. He'll call Markos shortly, I assure you," Vincent insisted, desperation creeping into his voice.Meanwhile, in a penthouse apartment across the city, Karvel Dono

“You didn't do anything, Derek?” she demanded, pacing back and forth, heels clicking sharply against polished marble. “How badly did Karvel hurt you?”Vincent Langford stood by the window, arms crossed, maintaining a facade of composed concern. Inwardly, he was practically humming with delight. This is perfect. Let Karvel dig his own grave.On the phone, Derek Carter sniffled dramatically. “It was horrible, sis! I just went to talk to him about the land deal—for you! I was trying to help you out, and he went absolutely nuts!”“Where?” Mariya snapped.“Right outside his apartment,” Derek lied smoothly. “I approached him calmly, told him I was there on your behalf, and he just—he lost it! His eyes turned cold, and then he hit me!”Mariya paused mid-stride, skepticism flickering across her face. That doesn’t sound like Karvel. Even at his worst, he was always controlled…But Derek was pushing the performance hard.“You should see me right now! My face looks like I headbutted a brick wall
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 18 CURE
The private dining suite in the Grand Meridian Hotel offered a panoramic view of the glowing city skyline, but Karvel Donovan barely noticed. He was still mildly annoyed at how his entrance had been treated—thrown out like a common thief until Sophia Yale had swooped in to rescue him from public embarrassment.Now, standing beside her as they entered the suite, he found himself unexpectedly drawn into something even more unpredictable.“Vivian!” Sophia’s warm voice rang out as she spotted her friend, who sat near the window sipping a glass of champagne.Vivian Fairchild looked up with a smile. “Sophia!” she exclaimed, standing up gracefully. “I was beginning to think you’d gotten lost with your… guest.” Her eyes flicked toward Karvel with a raised brow.“Oh, not lost,” Sophia said with a mischievous grin as she slipped her arm through Karvel’s. “Just… taking our time.” She turned to him with a teasing wink. “He’s a bit slow on his feet.”Karvel gave her a sidelong look. “I’m perfectly
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 19 Bargain
Karvel frowned. “If I’m not mistaken, the condition you’re seeking treatment for… is irregular menstruation, isn’t it?”The moment he said that, Vivian flushed with shame. She turned to Sophia, mortified. “Sophia! That was supposed to be our secret—why would you tell this jerk?”Sophia panicked. “Vivian, I swear on everything, I never told Karvel anything about your situation!”Vivian didn’t buy it. “Then how the hell does he know… that I’ve got those issues?”Karvel replied coolly, “Not only do I know about your irregular periods, I also know you’ve been struggling with insomnia, vivid dreams, and hormonal imbalance.”He paused, then added, “But your biggest problem is recurring chest tightness and shortness of breath. That’s a dangerous symptom—it could lead to suffocation at any time.”That made Vivian genuinely uneasy. If Sophia had spilled the first part, fine. But what about everything else? She had never mentioned those to anyone. Not even to her family.“…Alright,” she said
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 20 Confront
Vincent sneered, his tone dripping with sarcasm and disdain.Beside him, Ethan—head wrapped in bandages—glared at Karvel with bloodshot eyes. “Sis, that bastard’s the one who did this to me! You’ve gotta get revenge for me!”Hands on his hips, Ethan struck a smug, arrogant pose, clearly emboldened by backup. “Well, well, speak of the devil. Karvel, you little punk—I’ve been looking for you. Didn’t think you’d just walk right into me.”Mariya’s face was expressionless as she stood from the table and strode toward Karvel, one step at a time.“Karvel,” she said coldly, “you attacked someone without cause. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”Karvel replied flatly, “Maybe you should ask your dear brother what he did first.”“Whatever he did, it still doesn’t justify you beating him like that! Look at the state he’s in!” Her voice rose. “I can’t believe you’re capable of something so cruel. Ethan is my blood, my baby brother. How could you bring yourself to hurt him like that?”H

"Good girl," Isabelle clapped gleefully. "He deserved that. That ungrateful little bastard.""Nice one, sis!" Ethan chimed in smugly. "Honestly, you should’ve slapped him too. Maybe then he’d learn a lesson."Mother and son exchanged a glance, both clearly pleased with themselves.Vincent chuckled darkly. “Karvel, even I feel sorry for you. Mariya’s always been kind and gentle—like the perfect lady. And yet, you managed to piss her off this badly?”“You really are hopeless trash. No wonder she left you.”As the water dripped from Karvel’s face and soaked into his shirt, Mariya froze, suddenly unsure.“Why... why didn’t you dodge?” she asked quietly.Karvel could have. But he chose not to.“Happy now?” he said, voice low and icy. “Did that make you feel better?”“You know exactly what kind of people your mom and your precious little brother are. Probably even better than I do.”“And yet, whatever they say, you just believe it without question. You’re right about one thing, Mariya—break

Isabelle's expression shifted instantly, panic flashing in her eyes. “Vincent… is she really from the Fairchild family?” she asked nervously.Vincent gave a bitter smile. “Not just from the family. From the look of it, she’s the heir—Dr. Fairchild’s one and only granddaughter.”Isabelle fell silent, her face stiffening with unease. The Fairchilds were a top-tier, elite family. If things really got ugly, the Carter family wouldn't even be on their radar.Vivian didn’t spare her a glance. Instead, she turned to Mariya and said calmly, “You must be Karvel’s ex—President Mariya, right?”“I am,” Mariya replied, keeping her voice steady.“Then let me be direct,” Vivian said coolly. “You seem like a smart woman, so I won’t sugarcoat it.”“Your mother and your brother? Not a single word they say is worth believing.”“At the time, your dear little brother pulled a knife on Karvel and tried to force him into something. When that didn’t work, he went in for a slash.”“Oh, and your mom? Ninety

The tension in the Imperial Star Hotel’s restaurant was so thick, it could be cut with a knife.Karvel Cross walked away from the Carter family’s table, his expression cool and unbothered. He had no intention of getting dragged into their petty games any longer.But Ethan Carter, drunk on the power of sitting beside Leo Romano and the false sense of importance it gave him, wasn’t about to let Karvel walk away so easily.“You liar!” Ethan shouted, rising sharply from his seat, his face red with both alcohol and rage. “You think you can just stroll in here, say whatever you want, and walk off like you’re better than us?!”Mariya Carter flinched, her stomach twisting with anxiety.Before anyone could stop him, Ethan staggered toward Karvel and raised his hand to slap him.The room seemed to hold its breath.Karvel caught Ethan’s wrist midair without even turning his head. His fingers tightened just enough to make Ethan wince in pain.And then—SMACK!Karvel delivered a slap so resound
Chapter 55
The luxury lobby of the Imperial Star Hotel gleamed under the light of a massive chandelier. Guests moved quietly, the air thick with the scent of expensive cologne and money.Karvel Cross strode through the lobby, his steps slow but confident. He wore a simple dark suit, but even without flashy designer labels, his aura demanded attention.Three percent of the world's population controls ninety-seven percent of its wealth. The thought flickered through his mind as he observed the opulent surroundings. And these people think they own the very air we breathe.He approached the reception desk, where the manager personally came out to greet him with a slight bow."Mr. Cross," the manager said respectfully, his voice low so as not to draw attention. "Your penthouse suite has been prepared, as per your request. Would you like me to escort you up?"Karvel shook his head. "Just the key.""Of course, sir."As Karvel waited, signing the final documents, a sharp voice suddenly pierced the quiet

Leo Romano lounged arrogantly in his seat at the center of the upscale restaurant, a glass of red wine swirling lazily in his hand. Across from him sat Mariya Carter , her mother, and her brother Ethan Carter, all gathered around a lavish spread of food most of the city’s elite could only dream of affording.Leo’s smile was wide and self-satisfied as he recounted his latest triumph."So there I was," he said with a theatrical wave of his hand, "sitting in Vivian Fairchild’s office, and she had the audacity to defend that bum, Karvel Cross. Can you believe it?"Mariya forced a polite smile, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.Leo leaned in, his voice dropping conspiratorially. "But I put her in her place. Told her she could either have her little company… or her little pet project. Gave her forty-eight hours to make the right choice."Mrs. Carter clapped her hands together in delight. "Mr. Romano, you’re incredible! That woman thought too highly of herself anyway."Ethan laughed loudly
CHAPTER 53
The evening air was crisp as Karvel Cross stepped out of Fairchild Enterprises. His expression was neutral, his gait slow and seemingly careless, as if he had all the time in the world.But inside, he was sharply alert.They're watching.Karvel didn't even need to look over his shoulder. His instincts, honed from years of operating in shadows, screamed the moment he crossed the lobby. He felt the eyes trailing him from a distance—the careful, measured footsteps.Amateur, he thought with quiet contempt. Vivian should've hired someone better if she wanted to track me.Instead of heading straight for his car parked nearby, he turned off the main street into a narrow alleyway between two office buildings, the kind of alley where a man could disappear without a trace.The tail followed.Exactly as I expected, Karvel thought, his mind already several steps ahead. Let's see who's pulling the strings.The moment Karvel stepped around a sharp bend in the alley, he moved swiftly, disappearing b

Karvel Cross stood silently in front of Vivian Fairchild’s office door, his expression composed but his mind running cold calculations.He had been patient long enough.It was time.Adjusting the cuff of his jacket, he knocked once, then pushed the door open without waiting for permission.Vivian sat behind her desk, flipping through some papers with stiff, jerky motions. The moment she saw him, her entire body seemed to tense further, her eyes hardening into something unfamiliar.Karvel’s sharp instincts caught the shift immediately."Vivian," he greeted with his usual calm. "It’s time we had that conversation."She didn’t look up. "I’m busy."Karvel raised an eyebrow. Busy? That wasn’t the woman who had once practically dragged him into her world with stubborn persistence."You said you knew what I wanted," he continued, stepping inside, voice steady. "I think it’s about time you told me."Vivian slapped the papers onto the desk, her chair scraping loudly against the floor as she
Chapter 51
Vivian Fairchild was seated behind her sleek glass desk, quietly reviewing stacks of reports and signing documents. The soft ticking of the clock was the only sound in the room, the atmosphere calm and professional.Until the door to her office burst open violently.Vivian’s head snapped up, startled, just as Leo Romano stormed in, his expensive leather shoes clicking aggressively against the marble floor. Her secretary scrambled after him, panic written all over her face.“I’m sorry, Miss Fairchild!” the secretary squeaked, nearly tripping over her heels. “He wouldn’t wait for an appointment—”Vivian’s eyes narrowed dangerously. "That’s enough," she said coolly to her secretary, raising one hand to dismiss her. The girl bowed her head and quickly retreated, shutting the door behind her.Leo didn’t even wait for a greeting."You!" he barked, jabbing a finger toward Vivian, his face red with anger. "What the hell is a woman like you doing mixing with a bum like Karvel Cross?!"Vivian b

Vivian Fairchild sat stiffly in her office, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her mind buzzing with unresolved questions.Karvel Cross’s calm dismissal at the gala gnawed at her. Nothing? He called that chaos "nothing"? Two titans almost tore the room apart because of him, and he acted like it was no big deal.Across from her, Sophia Yale leaned forward eagerly. "Tell me everything again. Slowly."Vivian sighed and recounted the night from beginning to end—how Karvel arrived, how Leo Romano stirred up trouble, how Markos defended Karvel, and how Karvel himself remained infuriatingly nonchalant throughout.When she was done, Sophia drummed her nails on the desk thoughtfully. "It doesn’t add up.""I know," Vivian agreed. "Markos isn’t the type to step in for just anyone."Sophia nodded. "He doesn’t waste time on nobodies. And you said this isn't even the first time?"Vivian nodded. "He also backed Karvel during that orphanage event. Remember when Karvel donated a hundred millio
CHAPTER 49
Mariya Carter hurried after Vivian Fairchild , her heels clicking sharply against the marble as she caught up near the corridor leading out of the ballroom."Vivian, wait!" Mariya called, reaching out.Vivian spun around, eyes blazing. "Save it, Mariya. I'm not interested in anything you have to say."She really believes I betrayed him intentionally, Mariya thought, her chest tightening. When will I stop paying for my past mistakes?"I didn't tell Leo to go after Karvel! I had nothing to do with it!" Mariya insisted, desperation edging her voice.Vivian laughed bitterly. "You expect me to believe that? After the way you threw yourself at Leo the moment Karvel walked in?"She's so blinded by her infatuation with Karvel that she can't see reason, Vivian thought angrily. How dare she play innocent now?"I was just networking!" Mariya protested, her voice rising. "I didn't know who he was—who he is!"Vivian shook her head, disgusted. "Karvel saved you. Your family. And the first chance yo
CHAPTER 48
The grand ballroom buzzed with tension as every eye turned toward the scene unfolding between Markos, Leo Romano, and Karvel Cross.Whispers rippled across the luxurious crowd."Isn't that Markos—the richest man in Carson City?""Why's he defending that guy?""Maybe he just feels sorry for him.""Yeah, must be charity. That man's just a washed-up ex."Despite their murmuring, no one dared to step closer. Most of the attendees, steeped in shallow judgments, couldn't see past Karvel's calm demeanor and simple black suit. To them, he looked like an attractive nobody, lucky enough to catch the eye of a few powerful women.Fools, Karvel thought, maintaining his composed facade. They see what they want to see. A pretty face, a nobody. Exactly as I've planned it.But Mariya Carter wasn't like most of them.Standing at the edge of the crowd, her hands curled into fists as she watched the interaction sharply. No, she thought, this isn't just kindness. This is the second time someone powerful h
