FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 70
At the same time, Juliet watched the chaos unfold from a distance, her emotions in turmoil.She sat in her apartment, scrolling through the latest headlines, her brow furrowed.The image of Pearl standing confidently at the podium replayed in her mind."She’s incredible," Juliet murmured, then immediately frowned, her fingers gripping her phone tightly."Or maybe she’s just... foolish?"Her thoughts warred within her.Pearl’s actions were undeniably brave, but the way she stood by Louis made Juliet’s stomach churn."She’s doing it for him," Juliet whispered, biting her lip."But why does that bother me so much? I’m not even his..." She trailed off, unwilling to finish the thought.Juliet clutched the printed photograph in her hand as she approached storefront of an underground art dealer known only as “Tanner.”The location, tucked away in a rundown part of the city, was a stark contrast to the world of luxury and intrigue she’d been navigating lately.Her nerves prickled, but her det

Louis sat in his study, mind was racing, thoughts tangled in a web of suspicion, paranoia, and frustration.The photo of him and Pearl, the one that had caused so much turmoil between him and Juliet, had seemed like the key to unraveling the mystery.But now, it was only one piece of a much larger puzzle.He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples as Terminator X entered the room."We’ve almost got him, Louis," Terminator X said, holding up a report."The art dealer we tracked down, Tanner, has been our best lead so far.We’ve traced his movements and connections. We were closing in on the one who doctored the image."Louis’s eyes narrowed"Almost?""Yeah," Terminator X replied grimly."But before we could get to him, he’s dead. Found in his apartment this morning. No signs of forced entry, but it’s clear it was no accident."Louis’s heart sank."Dead? But why—""There’s more," Terminator X continued, cutting him off."He left a note behind, just before his death. One line: 'The

Juliet walked briskly down the quiet street, her heart racing with a mix of anxiety and determination.After what had happened at the warehouse, she couldn’t shake the feeling of fear . But She had to know the truth about Louis—and Pearl.The photograph that had plagued her thoughts, the rumors swirling about their relationship—it all led back to Tanner.She’d gone to Tanner’s apartment for answers, thinking he was the key to unreveal the mystery.But this time, as she arrived, something felt different.The usual quiet of the building was replaced by flashing police lights.Officers milled around outside, and the building was taped off with caution signs."What happened?" she asked, walking toward the police officer who stood nearby.The officer glanced at her briefly, then turned his attention back to the building."There’s been a murder. We’re investigating."Juliet froze, her blood running cold.Murder? Tanner? Had he been killed because of the secrets he knew?Her stomach twisted

Louis gripped the necklace tightly as he approached the Kindsor estate, the weight of its engraved coordinates pressing on his mind.Beside him, Terminator X leaned against a sleek black SUV, waiting near the edge of the estate’s sprawling grounds. "You’re late," Terminator X muttered, his arms crossed."I’ve been scouting the area. The hidden chamber is close. I can feel it."Louis nodded, his jaw set with determination."Let’s not waste any more time. If this chamber holds what we think it does, it could change everything."Together, they navigated through the estate grounds, using the necklace’s coordinates as their guide.The Kindsor estate was vast, with meticulously maintained gardens, towering hedges, and ornate architecture that whispered of old money and dark secrets.Despite its beauty, Louis felt only a cold unease.After nearly an hour of searching, Terminator X stopped abruptly, pointing to a weathered stone wall partially obscured by overgrown ivy."Here," he said, pull

The figure stepped forward, revealing a masked individual clad in black.His movements were deliberate, the gun steady in his grip."You’ve dug too deep, Louis Kindsor," the figure said, his voice distorted through a voice modulator."Turn around and walk away, or this ends here."Louis straightened, his fury boiling just beneath the surface."You think you can scare me? Do you have any idea how far I’m willing to go for the truth?"The figure chuckled coldly."The truth won’t save you. It will bury you."Terminator X, ever the strategist, spoke next."You don’t want to do this. Pull that trigger, and you’ll have the entire Kindsor estate crawling with investigators. Even your bosses won’t be able to protect you."The figure hesitated, his gun lowering slightly."You’re playing a dangerous game, both of you. This isn’t about justice. It’s about survival. And you’re out of your depth."Louis took a step forward, his eyes locked on the masked man."If you’re here, it means Edward knows

Louis grabbed his coat, his movements sharp and deliberate."Vivian’s people are targeting you now. I need to get you somewhere safe."Juliet frowned, her frustration bubbling over."Safe? You think I’m just going to sit back and let you control everything? I deserve to know the truth!""I’ll explain everything later," Louis promised, his tone softer now."But right now, we need to move."Juliet shook her head, stepping back toward the door."No, Louis. I’ve had enough of being in the dark. I’ll handle myself.""Juliet, don’t be stubborn," he warned, but she was already out the door, heading to her car.Juliet’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as she drove aimlessly, her mind a storm of emotions.The streetlights cast long shadows across the deserted road, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched.She pulled into a quiet parking lot to gather her thoughts, her breathing uneven.Suddenly, a shadow moved across her rearview mirror.Before she could react, the p

Vivian leaned back in her luxurious chair, a glass of champagne in hand, her lips curling into a triumphant smile as she watched the latest news broadcast.Reporter: "Breaking news: Leaked emails suggest Louis Kindsor may have ties to international criminal organizations. Allegations of money laundering and illicit deals are spreading like wildfire."Ben sat across from her, his laptop open to a forum where the smear campaign was gaining traction."The global response is better than we expected. Social media’s ablaze, and even his staunchest allies are starting to distance themselves.""Good," Vivian said, raising her glass."Let’s keep pouring fuel on the fire. Louis Kindsor won’t just lose his reputation; he’ll lose everything."The centerpiece of their campaign was a set of falsified emails supposedly exchanged between Louis and several notorious criminal organizations.The emails detailed fabricated deals involving money laundering, illegal arms trading, and even human trafficking

The grand hall was packed with reporters, cameras, and the electric buzz of anticipation.Pearl stood confidently at the podium, her sharp black suit radiating authority.Louis was beside her, calm but stern, his eyes scanning the crowd.The room quieted as Pearl cleared her throat."Good afternoon," she began, her tone firm."Today, we are here to address the baseless allegations leveled against Louis Kindsor.But more importantly, we are here to expose the person behind these lies."She clicked a remote, and the projector screen lit up behind her, displaying Vivian Howard’s name in bold.Gasps echoed through the hall."Vivian Howard, Louis’s ex-wife, orchestrated this entire scheme out of spite.he fraud allegations? Fabricated. The leaked documents? Forged. And we have proof."Pearl pressed a button, revealing screenshots of bank transactions, email exchanges, and phone records tying Vivian to the forged documents and bribed media outlets.Vivian, watching from her lavish penthouse

From a safe distance, Juliet and Pearl watched the duel unfold, their emotions a mix of awe and concern.“He’s holding his own,” Juliet said, her voice tense.“But she’s overwhelming him.”Pearl shook her head.“He’s not trying to overpower her. He’s making her expend her energy. It’s a classic tactic.”Juliet glanced at her, surprised.“You really trust him, don’t you?”“I do,” Pearl admitted.“But it’s not just trust—it’s understanding. He’s carrying more than anyone should have to.”Juliet’s expression softened.“You’re right. And maybe I’ve been too focused on my own frustrations to see that.”Pearl smiled faintly.“We both want the same thing—for him to make it through this. We just have different ways of showing it.”Vivian’s relentless attacks began to take their toll.Her movements became less precise, her energy surges less controlled. Louis noticed the change and seized the moment.“You’re slipping, Vivian,” he said, stepping out from his cover.“That power you’re so proud o

Louis turned to see her stepping out of the shadows, her figure illuminated by the faint glow of the relic’s energy coursing through her veins. Her movements were fluid, almost inhuman.“Vivian,” he said evenly.“We don’t have to do this. Whatever the relic did to you—”“It gave me clarity,” she interrupted, her voice rising.“For the first time, I see the world for what it is. Weak, chaotic, broken. And I’m going to fix it.”Louis stepped forward cautiously.“By tearing it apart?”“No,” she said, her eyes narrowing.“By rebuilding it in my image. I am the future of this city, Louis. You’re just a relic of its past.”With a flick of her wrist, Vivian sent a burst of energy hurtling toward Louis.He dove to the side, the blast narrowly missing him and leaving a scorched mark on the floor.“You see?” she said, her voice filled with dark glee.“This is what true power looks like. And you? You’re powerless against it.”Louis stood, his voice calm despite the tension.“Power doesn’t make y

Vivian stood in the remnants of her ruined lab, her body trembling with pain and energy.Her once-perfect features were marred by faint glowing veins that pulsed with the same eerie light as the relic. Despite her injuries, she felt stronger than ever.She clenched her fists, watching as faint sparks of energy danced across her fingertips.“They think they can stop me,” she murmured, her voice low but filled with determination.“They have no idea what I’ve become.”Hector entered cautiously, his gaze darting to the relic still glowing faintly on the table.“Vivian, you need medical attention. You’re—”“Evolving,” she interrupted, turning to face him. Her eyes gleamed with an unnatural light.“The relic didn’t curse me—it awakened me. This is power, Hector. True power.”Hector’s unease deepened. “And what’s your plan? Destroy everything in your path?”“If that’s what it takes,” she said coldly.“Louis Kindsor is my first target. He’s been a thorn in my side for too long.”At the AAA Gr

The early morning light spilled into the AAA Group office as Louis sat at his desk, the remnants of sleepless nights etched on his face.His eyes darted between scattered notes and a grainy security image of the shadowy figure he had seen at the auction.“They looked just like her,” Louis muttered, his voice barely audible.Juliet leaned against the doorway, her arms crossed.“Louis, we’ve been over this. Your mother’s gone. Whoever that was, it wasn’t her.”“She’s right,” Pearl said, walking in with a steaming cup of coffee.“You’re chasing shadows, and it’s going to consume you if you let it.”Louis glanced up, his jaw tight.“You didn’t see them. The way they moved, the way they watched Vivian—it was uncanny.”Juliet sighed, sitting across from him.“And even if it was connected to your mother, what’s the endgame here? You can’t afford to lose focus—not now, with Vivian holding that relic.”Despite their warnings, Louis threw himself into the investigation.He poured over surveilla

The room buzzed with anticipation as the auction reached its climax.The artifact, now displayed on a pedestal surrounded by a faint, shimmering aura, seemed to pulse with energy.The bids climbed rapidly, the stakes as high as the tension in the air.“Eighty million,” Hector announced confidently, leaning back in his chair.His smirk was aimed directly at Louis, daring him to counter.Louis met his gaze, his jaw tight. “Eighty-five.”Vivian raised her hand almost immediately. “Ninety.”Pearl leaned over to Louis, her voice low but urgent.“She’s pushing hard. We need to disrupt their rhythm.”“Leave that to me,” Juliet said, a sly smile curving her lips.She slipped into the crowd, her emerald dress catching the light as she approached Hector’s group.Juliet joined a cluster of Hector’s associates, effortlessly blending into their conversation.Her laughter carried over the hum of the room, drawing their attention.“Such an intense evening,” she said, her tone light.“But isn’t Hecto

The sleek black envelope was unmarked except for a wax seal bearing an ornate insignia.Louis turned it over in his hands, frowning.“No sender. Just an address and a date.”Juliet leaned over the desk, reading the contents.“It’s an invitation. Exclusive, secretive, and dripping with high-society pretension.”Pearl crossed her arms.“It’s also a trap. These kinds of events aren’t meant for people like us—they’re meant to lure us into compromising positions.”Louis set the envelope down.“So, what do we do? Ignore it?”Juliet shook her head.“No. If this is legitimate, it’s an opportunity to get ahead of whatever they’re planning. Plus, if we don’t show, it’ll look like we’re hiding.”“Or it’s a setup to discredit us,” Pearl countered, her tone sharp.“Showing up could backfire.”Louis sighed, torn between the two perspectives.“Either way, they’ll spin it against us. But if there’s even a chance this event is important, we can’t afford to sit it out.”The venue was an opulent mansion
CHAPTER 174
The grand ballroom of the Apple City Business Forum was packed with influential figures, the air buzzing with anticipation.A row of cameras lined the back of the room, broadcasting the event live.At the center stage sat Louis Kindsor, Hector Lang, and other key players, each ready to make their case to the city’s elite.Louis adjusted his microphone, his calm exterior hiding the storm brewing inside.Juliet and Pearl stood nearby, their presence a silent reminder of the stakes.In the crowd, Terminator X sat inconspicuously, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.Hector, ever the showman, leaned forward with a smirk“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re here to discuss the future of this city’s economy. And I think it’s clear who’s capable of leading that future.”He gestured toward Louis, his tone dripping with mockery.“We’ve all seen the headlines. AAA Group struggling, questionable projects, and leadership that’s… let’s just say, less than inspiring.”Louis didn’t flinch.“Interesting
CHAPTER 173
The morning headlines screamed trouble for AAA Group:“AAA’s Tech Venture Faces Catastrophic Delays: Sabotage Alleged.”Louis slammed the paper on his desk, his jaw tight with frustration. Juliet and Pearl stood nearby, both visibly concerned.“Hector’s fingerprints are all over this,” Juliet said, pacing.“The delays, the rumors—it’s too coordinated to be random.”“He’s targeting our flagship project to undermine investor confidence,” Pearl added. “And it’s working.”Louis pinched the bridge of his nose.“We need a counterattack, fast. If we lose momentum on this, it’ll snowball.”“We can’t just react,” Juliet interjected.“We need to get ahead of him. Find out his next move.”Pearl crossed her arms, her gaze sharp.“I might know someone who can help us trace the sabotage back to Hector. But it’ll take time.”“Time we don’t have,” Louis muttered.That evening, Louis attended an elite gala under pressure from investors and allies, hoping to salvage their confidence.The venue was a gl
CHAPTER 172
Juliet’s voice trembled.“But how? We saw you… you sacrificed yourself during the fight with The Seer. How are you here?”Pearl looked directly at Louis, her gaze steady.“One of The Seer’s guards saved me. His name was Tom. When the battle ended, he found me and took me to a hidden village far from the chaos. They treated my injuries, but it took months to recover.”Louis’s voice broke.“Why didn’t you contact us?”“I couldn’t,” Pearl said, her tone regretful.“The village was isolated, and I was in no condition to travel. By the time I could leave, I knew I had to come back—to help.”Pearl turned to the auctioneer, her voice cutting through the stunned silence.“As the rightful executor of the Kindsor estate, I invoke Clause 17 of the AxisTech agreement. No deal can proceed without my authorization.”Vivian’s face twisted with rage.“You can’t be serious. You’ve been gone for months—you have no standing here!”Pearl smiled faintly.“Actually, Vivian, I do. I never relinquished my au
