Semua Bab Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her: Bab 701 - Bab 710

“Don’t panic. We need to stay calm. There’s still enough oxygen for us to last a little while.”Caitlin forced herself to think clearly, searching for any possible way out. She combed through every corner of the room again, opening drawers, looking behind furniture, feeling along the walls—but there was nothing useful.The air was thinning fast. Each breath grew shallower, heavier.“I can’t… I can’t breathe…” Zinnia gasped, sliding down from the sofa onto the floor.Caitlin leaned back against the sofa, forcing air into her lungs, trying not to give in to the dark haze pressing at the edges of her vision. Her chest burned, her temples throbbed, and sharp pain pulsed through her head as oxygen drained away.She jabbed a sharp object into the palm of her hand, using the sting to keep herself awake. She couldn’t afford to lose consciousness—not when she had finally f

“All right,” Leif VI said, his voice trembling as he carefully tore open the envelope. His hands were unsteady, the thin paper rustling between his fingers.He drew out the folded report and began to read. Line by line, his eyes traced every word until they reached the final conclusion: *Confirmed biological father–daughter relationship.*For a moment, the world seemed to stop. His eyes blurred, tears welling and spilling before he could stop them. His lips quivered, but no sound came out.“Father…” Magnus called softly.“It’s true, isn’t it?” he asked, though he already knew the answer from the look on his father’s face.Leif VI raised his tear-filled eyes and nodded. “Yes.” His voice cracked as he tried to speak. The tears came freely now, unstoppable.He hadn’t even known that Kelly had carried his child—had borne his daughter into the world a

As Caitlin and her group entered the gates of the Jonathan estate, several police officers were leading a woman out in handcuffs. It was Jasmine.The Jonathan Family had made their decision: despite her resemblance to Liliana, they would not keep her. Instead, they called the police, who officially charged her with fraud and arrested her on the spot.Gone was the proud, elegant woman she once pretended to be. Jasmine looked disheveled and frightened, her hair messy, her face pale.When she saw Caitlin among the group entering the courtyard, she froze mid-step. Her eyes filled with panic and desperation as she cried out, “Caitlin! Caitlin, please! Help me! I don’t want to go to prison! Please, Caitlin!”Caitlin stood where she was, unmoving, her expression unreadable.She said nothing.She wasn’t going to save her. Jasmine’s fate was of her own making. Every deceit, every choice had led her here. And now, n

“I missed you too, sweetheart.”Caitlin hugged her son tightly, kissing him over and over.It felt indescribably good to hold him again—to be alive and home, surrounded by her family.After cuddling her eldest, she took Howard’s hand and began searching for the other kids. Behind another sofa and next to a cabinet, she soon discovered Bruce and Arthur.“Mommy found you both!”Howard cheered and jumped up and down while his brothers, Bruce and Arthur, came running out from their hiding spots, throwing their little arms around Caitlin’s legs.“Mommy!”“Mommy…”“Bruce, Arthur!”Caitlin gathered the boys into her arms, holding all three close at once. Only she knew how hard-won this reunion was—how close she had come to never seeing them again.Three sons found, but one daughter still missing. Caitlin scanned the room, won

“You already have two bargaining chips in your hands! You’re the only one who knows where my mother is, that should be enough! Why are you making things hard for my brother? You know he was kidnapped when he was five. It’s been twenty years since then. I finally reunited with him. All I want is for him to live a few peaceful days. Why do you have to go after him?”Caitlin’s heart twisted with anger and desperation. Her usually calm eyes shimmered with tears.Cecilia hadn’t done it to oppose Caitlin. She just needed James as a piece in her plan. Now that she had successfully found both parts of the codex, she believed the map would soon appear. Which meant she no longer needed to use James as leverage.“My offer still stands. Take me to the ancient kingdom, and I’ll heal your brother first.”Cecilia looked at Caitlin, her gaze softening as she studied the young woman’s face—so much lik
