All Chapters of Billionaire's Regret : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Claire stared at the text from Richard Grey and frowned."Howard's will reading today at 2 PM. Your presence is required."That didn't make sense because Howard had already given her Sterling Solutions so why did she need to be there?She pushed the thought aside and got dressed in a black dress that hugged every curve and fell just above her knees with a neckline that commanded respect and attention at the same time.Her blonde hair cascaded in loose waves over her shoulders and her makeup was flawless with smoky eyes that made her blue eyes stand out and red lips that were both professional and devastating.She looked powerful and she felt it.The waiting room at Richard Grey's office had leather chairs and expensive art and Claire sat down and crossed her legs while other people arrived that she didn't recognize.Then Jeff walked in wearing a black suit and looking exhausted with dark circles under his eyes.Their eyes met and he froze."You."Claire blinked and then almost laughed

Jeff stood outside Anderson's corporations and reporters swarmed him before he could reach the entrance with cameras flashing in his face and microphones shoved toward him."Mr. Anderson, is it true your company is going bankrupt?""How do you plan to manage your grandfather's corporation when your own company is in crisis?""Is the divorce affecting your ability to lead?"Jeff kept his head down and pushed forward. "No comment.""Mr. Anderson, investors are pulling out and stock prices are dropping, what do you have to say?""Is it true your son's accident was caused by marital problems?"Jeff's jaw clenched hard. "I said no comment.""Are you and your wife getting a divorce or not?""Who said we're getting a divorce?" A female voice said from behind.The reporters spun around and Jeff all turned to see Irene walking toward them with Zane's hand in hers and a warm smile on her face like she was arriving at a gala.The reporters immediately diverted to her,"Is your son alright now?"

The press conference room was packed with reporters and cameras and Claire sat beside Jeff at the long table with her heart pounding so hard she thought it would burst through her chest.She kept her face neutral and professional while her palms were sweating under the table.Jeff leaned forward and his voice was clear and steady. "Thank you all for coming. Today marks a significant transition for Anderson Industries."He paused and glanced at Claire and the brief eye contact made her stomach flip. "Effective immediately, my company will be merging with Andersons Corporation and we'll operate as one entity moving forward."Cameras flashed and Claire blinked against the lights while trying to keep breathing normally."Additionally, Sterling Solutions, led by Ms. Amber Clark, will become a subsidiary and we'll work together to strengthen all three branches."A reporter raised her hand. "Mr. Anderson, how do you respond to concerns about your ability to manage this merger given your comp

Jeff drove aimlessly through the city with his hands gripping the wheel and his mind spinning.He ended up at a bar downtown and walked inside."Whiskey. Neat." He ordered and took a seat.The bartender poured and Jeff downed it in one gulp and the burn felt good so he ordered another.And another.He lost count after the fourth glass and his vision started blurring and his chest felt heavy.Amber's face kept flashing in his mind, the way she'd caught Irene's hand and the disgust in her eyes when she said "control your wife."Why was he so bothered about Amber? It was enough that she looked like Claire, he wished that she was Claire.Hours passed and the bartender finally said, "Sir, we're about to close,let me call you a cab"Jeff didn't argue.The cab dropped him at his house and he stumbled inside.The living room lights blazed on and he blinked severally.Irene was standing there with her arms crossed and fury on her face."Where the hell have you been?"Jeff sighed, "I don't need

Irene arrived at The Grandview Hotel at exactly 8 PM and her heels clicked sharply on the marble floor as she walked to the elevator.Room 412.She knocked once and the door opened immediately.Matt stood there with dark hair and sharp features and that predatory smile she used to know so well."Irene, right on time." He smirked."Let's get this over with." She walked past him into the room.The door closed and she turned to face him with her arms crossed.Matt's eyes traveled over her slowly. "You look good, even better than I remembered."He reached out and ran his hand down her arm.Irene slapped his hand away in irritation. "Don't touch me."Matt's smile widened. "Relax, sweetheart. I'm just appreciating what I've missed.""What do you want from me, Matt?" Irene's voice was ice cold. "I don't have time for this."Matt's smile dropped and something dangerous flashed in his eyes. He grabbed her chin and stared hard at her. "Is that how you talk to me now? Because you're married to J
