FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 41
Louis finally spoke, his calm voice somehow carrying over the chaos. "Well, this is quite a different tune from a few minutes ago, isn't it?"The crowd fell silent again, hanging on his every word.But Louis simply checked his watch and smiled faintly at the assembled gathering of once-proud elites.Now reduced to trembling shadows of their former selves.The grand wedding hall, which had moments ago been filled with threats and mockery.Now held only the sound of Ben's ragged breathing as he sat slumped in his chair, cold sweat darkening his expensive suit.This can't be happening, Vivian's thoughts raced frantically. The man I rejected... the one I looked down on... was THIS close to Terminator X?! Impossible!Her perfectly manicured hands trembled as she forced a bright, desperate smile. "Terminator X, sir," she attempted to steady her voice, "you must be here for our wedding, right? This is all an elaborate surprise before presenting your blessing?"The silence that followed w

Commander Goh Phong replied crisply."Five minutes remaining."The once-proud wedding party devolved into a mad scramble for exits and belongings. Their earlier arrogance replaced by pure terror, while Louis stood serenely at the center of it all.As if watching nothing more significant than a change in weather.“This is ridiculous!” Vivian shrieked, her voice echoing against the marble walls. She whirled on Terminator X, her eyes wild.“You must be joking! You came here to give blessings and gifts, didn’t you? Tell me this is all some kind of elaborate joke!”Terminator X didn’t reply immediately, his cold gaze locked on her as if assessing whether she was worth his time. The silence only fueled her anger."This doesn't make sense!" Vivian's voice cracked with hysteria. "Why are you here, Terminator X? Why are you defending that bastard?Ben lunged forward, clamping his hand over her mouth. "Shut up, please!" he hissed. "Don't make things worse!"Oh god, Ben thought frantical

“The only fraud here is you, Mrs. Gutsby.”The crowd collectively gasped, the tension in the room reaching a fever pitch.Vivian’s face twisted in fury. “How dare you speak to me like that! Do you know who I am?”Goh Phong’s lips curled into a faint smirk.“Yeah, I know exactly who you are. And frankly, it’s ... embarrassing.”She wondered how this foolish woman would react once she learnt the true identity of Louis.It would be quite dramatic.Goh Phong bet inwardly. “You—!” Vivian began, but Goh Phong cut her off.“Guards,” she said sharply, gesturing toward the nearest soldiers. “Remove her.”Two soldiers stepped forward, their imposing figures dwarfing Vivian. She stumbled back, panic flashing across her face.“Wait! You can’t do this!” she shrieked. “This is my wedding! You have no right—”“Your rights end where Master Kindsor’s patience does,” Goh Phong said coldly.Her look intimidating.“And you’ve long since exhausted it.”Vivian, however, was not so easily cowed. She

Goh Phong sneered. "A spoiled brat who needs to learn her place!""We PAID good money for this wedding!" Vivian shrieked."You're supposed to be serving us! You should be the one being punished!"BOOM!The crowd collectively gasped."Is she actually insane?" someone whispered loudly."She's got a death wish," another guest muttered."Talking to Terminator X like that!"Ben lunged forward, trying to cover Vivian's mouth. "Vivian, please stop—""Get your hands off me!" She shoved him away violently."This is all wrong! Why are you treating Louis with respect while I'm being hit? He's the one who should be punished!"Vivian's voice grew more hysterical. "Everyone here can testify! Louis disrupted my wedding! He caused all this chaos! Tell them!" She looked around wildly. "You all saw it, didn't you?"The crowd's sympathy instantly evaporated, replaced by anger."Are you out of your mind?" a guest shouted."We all saw what really happened!""You're the one who stopped and insulted

“She cheated on her ex-husband Louis?!”“What a shameless woman!""No wonder she's so eager to slander him!"She never mentioned any of this, Juliet thought, her mind racing. What else has she been hiding?Vivian's face contorted with rage. "You don't know anything! I—""Look at her," a guest sneered. "Still acting righteous after being exposed!""Can't even see her own faults!""A woman like you," Terminator X continued, his voice dripping with contempt, "who bites the hand that feeds her, deserves far worse than a few slaps."The atmosphere grew heavier with each revelation. The wedding guests, who had initially felt some sympathy for Vivian, now looked at her with undisguised disgust.Juliet made one last attempt. "Vivian, please, just apologize and let's go—""Never!" Vivian screamed, her makeup streaking down her face. "I won't apologize to that worthless—"Vivian's hysterical voice echoed through the room. "You're all lying! I never cheated on him! I never slandered anyo

The world's wealthiest man taking orders?"I never thought I'd see Terminator X defer to anyone," someone whispered. "Who is Louis really?""Shut your mouth," another guest hissed.Terminator X's commanding voice cut through the whispers. "Let me make something clear."The guests collectively stiffened, their breaths held."Money might buy you access to this island," he continued, his tone glacial, "but it doesn't buy you the right to create such... embarrassing situations."Even he calls it embarrassing, Juliet thought, her eyes fixed on Louis's unreadable expression."Of course not, sir!" several guests rushed to agree."We would never dream of causing trouble!""Absolutely understood, sir!"Terminator X's gaze swept the room."Anyone who forgets this will find themselves permanently blacklisted. No future cooperation. No exceptions."The threat hung heavy in the air, mingling with the lingering scent of flowers and fear."Crystal clear, sir!""We value any business relationships!

"Though perhaps," Terminator X added with a rare smile, "now you understand why some of us are so... protective of him.""Am I disappointing you?" Louis asked with a playful smile."Not quite the big shot you might have imagined?"Juliet shook her head, her eyes bright with interest. "Not at all! I had no idea you were so skilled in medicine. It's actually quite impressive."But something doesn't add up, she thought, studying Louis's serene expression. But what?Terminator X's sharp eyes caught Juliet's contemplative look. "Miss Juliet, if you wouldn't mind giving us a moment? I need to discuss something private with Louis.""Of course," Juliet nodded politely, though reluctance showed in her movements.As she walked toward the exit, her heels clicking against the marble floor.The remaining guests huddled near the doorway, their whispers growing bolder as they exchanged meaningful looks."Phew!”“So it was just Terminator X being grateful to his savior.” "No wonder Terminator X

The atmosphere in the VIP lounge grew heavy as Louis's expression darkened.He moved to the window, watching the waves crash against Necker Island's pristine shore."Any progress on the investigation I requested, old friend?" Louis's voice was barely above a whisper.Commander Terminator X shifted in his Italian leather chair, bearing evident even in repose. His face, marked by years of command and boardroom battles, showed genuine regret. "Despite all my resources and connections, we've found no conclusive evidence regarding your mother's death, Louis."Louis closed his eyes, memories washing over him like a cold tide. The platinum ring on his finger caught the dying sunlight, throwing shadows across his face."This ring," he said, twisting it slowly, "was her last gift to me. My birthday... who would have thought it would be our final moment together?"The weight of this ring has grown heavier with each passing year, Louis thought, his chest tightening with familiar grief.Termi

Ghost had done more than try to kill him.He had crippled him.Pearl noticed the change first. “Louis, what the hell is wrong with you?”Louis tried to answer—but the words didn’t come.His throat locked. His pulse spiked erratically.Juliet’s eyes darted to him—widening in alarm.“Shit. He’s going into shock.”She tapped frantically on her screen, scanning his vitals.“His blood’s flooding with foreign nanites. His body’s rejecting them—like an autoimmune attack.”Pearl cursed. “Translation?”Juliet’s jaw clenched. “If we don’t get him treatment, he’ll be dead in less than an hour.”Pearl’s grip on her pistol tightened. “Then let’s get the hell out of here.”The drive through Apple City’s backstreets was a blur.Louis drifted in and out of consciousness, his body locked in a constant war with itself.The car screeched to a halt outside an abandoned auto shop—one of Pearl’s safe locations buried beneath the city’s grid.They hauled Louis inside, where a lone medic was waiting.An olde
CHAPTER 283
Ghost skidded slightly, recalibrating. His brain was fast, but his body was now ahead of it. That meant errors.Louis smirked. “How does it feel, Ghost?”Ghost’s expression flickered. “What?”Louis wiped blood from his lip. “You’re fast. Strong. But your mind is lagging.”Ghost’s eye twitched. A small movement, but Louis saw it. A crack in the perfection.Juliet and Pearl had no time to watch the fight.The hallway outside the lab exploded in gunfire, guards flooding in, desperate to contain the breach.Juliet pressed herself against the nearest wall, her pistol firing in quick, precise bursts.Pearl crouched behind a toppled workstation, reloading as fast as she could. “This is getting messy!”Juliet muttered under her breath, hacking into the nearest control panel. “Tell me something I don’t know.”The screen flickered. New warning: CONTAINMENT BREACH IMMINENT.Juliet swore. “The virus chamber is cracking.”Pearl exhaled sharply. “And that means?”Juliet didn’t look away from the sc
CHAPTER 282
Louis’s eyes flicked across the lab—then he saw it.A row of pressurized chemical tanks.“Pearl—cover Juliet.”She didn’t argue. She opened fire, forcing the drones to focus on her.Louis vaulted over a counter, grabbed a scalpel from a surgical tray, and sliced through the control lines of the nearest tank.A hissing sound filled the room.The moment he fired his next shot, the explosion ripped through the lab.Two drones down. One left.The third drone adjusted, recalibrating.Louis turned—but before he could fire, a bullet pierced through its core.Pearl blew the smoke off her barrel. “Took you long enough.”Juliet slammed her hand down on the console. “Got it! Doors opening now!”The main exit hissed open.Pearl grinned. “And that’s our cue.”Louis grabbed Juliet’s wrist, yanking her toward the door. “MOVE!”The facility was collapsing around them. Sirens wailed, emergency lights flickered, and the stench of burning metal filled the air.Guards flooded the hallways.Pearl went in
CHAPTER 281
Dr. Mark Voss convulsed in his chair, sweat dripping from his pale face, his breath ragged. His pupils were blown wide, body trembling as the virus burned through his system.But instead of fear—he laughed.A deep, ragged, hysterical laugh that echoed through the lab, bouncing off the sterile white walls.Pearl cocked her head, unimpressed. “What’s so funny, dead man?”Voss’s bloodshot eyes flicked to her, then to Louis. His lips curled into a twisted grin, his voice a mix of pain and amusement.“I’d rather watch the world burn… than give you control.”Louis’s stomach clenched. No.Voss’s trembling fingers slammed down on the keyboard.Red warning lights bathed the room in an eerie glow.The computer’s synthetic voice echoed through the facility:“Security lockdown initiated. All exits sealed. Containment breach detected. Automated purge in progress.”Juliet’s eyes widened. “Shit.”Pearl snarled. “What the hell did he just do?”Voss’s laughter turned into a ragged cough, but the amuse
CHAPTER 280
The sterile hum of machines filled the vault, a stark contrast to the chaos outside. Louis stood frozen, his name still flashing in bright red on the massive screen behind him.Final Test Subject: Louis Kindsor.Juliet and Pearl flanked him, weapons drawn, but their eyes were locked on the man sitting calmly at the desk in the center of the room.Dr. Mark Voss.He looked exactly as Louis had imagined. A man who belonged in a high-tech lab, not in the middle of a warzone. His sharp features were devoid of fear, his crisp white coat unstained by the horrors he had created. He looked more like a professor preparing for a lecture than the architect of a mass extinction event.And the way he smiled—like he had already won.Louis clenched his fists.“You’re the one behind this,” he said, his voice deathly calm.Dr. Voss leaned back in his chair, adjusting his glasses as if they weren’t discussing a biological weapon meant to wipe out an entire bloodline.“Ah, Mr. Kindsor. I was wondering wh
CHAPTER 279
Inside, the stench of decay and antiseptic clung to the air, the eerie silence wrapping around them like a death shroud.Juliet moved quickly to a secured elevator panel, her fingers flying over the touchpad.“The main facility is buried four levels underground,” she murmured. “Security’s tight, but I can override it.”Pearl arched a brow. “You mean without setting off alarms?”Juliet hesitated.“…Mostly.”Pearl sighed. “That’s what I thought.”Louis exhaled, pressing the earpiece closer. “Do it. We’re on borrowed time.”Juliet typed in a series of commands, bypassing the biometric scans. A moment later, the elevator dinged softly, doors sliding open.They stepped inside, weapons ready.As the doors sealed them in, Pearl flexed her grip on her pistol. “How many guards are we expecting?”Juliet glanced at her tablet. “…All of them.”The doors slid open onto a hallway bathed in cold, sterile white.This wasn’t a makeshift lab like the last facility. This was something else.A temple to
CHAPTER 278
The underground lab was a maze of sterile white corridors, the air thick with the scent of disinfectant and something darker, more sinister.Juliet led the way, eyes darting between the blueprint on her tablet and the hallways stretching before them. “The main server room is ahead. If I can access the controls, I can wipe every trace of the virus.”Louis glanced at Pearl. “Stay sharp.”They moved in silence, shadows slipping through the corridors. Every step was calculated. Every turn a possible ambush.And then—They found the test chamber.A glass-walled room in the center of the facility, cold and sterile.Inside, strapped to a medical table—Elias Kindsor.Louis’s stomach clenched. His uncle looked barely alive. His skin pale, his body hooked up to machines.Pearl moved toward the glass. “What the hell did they do to him?”Juliet scanned the monitors. Her face darkened.“He’s the live test subject,” she whispered.Louis felt a slow, creeping rage coil in his chest.His uncle wasn’
CHAPTER 277
Project Blood Moon was in motion.If they didn’t move now, Louis’s entire bloodline would be wiped out.Juliet sat at the desk, hunched over her screen, decrypting the last fragments of stolen files. Her fingers moved fast, but her face was pale.“We don’t have days,” she said, her voice tight. “We don’t even have hours. They’ve started the countdown.”Louis’s fists clenched at his sides. He already knew it. The clock was ticking.Pearl stood near the weapons table, methodically loading a magazine, her expression unreadable.“We take the facility,” she said. No hesitation. “We get in, we kill anyone in our way, and we erase that virus from existence.”Juliet exhaled. “It’s not that simple, Pearl. It’s a bio-secure facility. We can’t just waltz in and start shooting.”Pearl raised an eyebrow. “Sure we can.”Louis finally spoke, his voice low but firm. “Juliet’s right. This isn’t just about breaking in. We need to make sure the virus is destroyed permanently.”And that meant getting ins
CHAPTER 276
Pearl’s body tensed immediately. “You’re telling me this thing—” she gestured toward Louis, “—was made specifically to kill him?”Juliet shook her head. “Not just him.”She turned her screen, flashing an encrypted list that sent a shiver down Louis’s spine.Names. Birthdates. Genealogical data.Juliet pointed at the top. “They’ve mapped out your entire family line. Not just you, Louis—your parents, your extended relatives, anyone remotely connected to your lineage.”Louis didn’t react immediately. His mind sifted through old memories—names and faces from a past he had long since buried.His mother. His father. Gone.But his uncle, distant cousins—they were still out there.Pearl exhaled slowly. “How far have they gotten?”Juliet clicked through more files, her jaw tightening. “They’re not testing it on the streets yet. Not on live populations.”Pearl folded her arms. “Then where?”Juliet’s face darkened. “A facility. One of The Obsidian Ring’s black sites. The files list it as Lockdow
