Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1090

When he was a kid, he'd been playing hide-and-seek with his mom, and somehow ended up napping inside the rock garden. By the time he woke up, peeking out through a crack, the courtyard outside was a nightmare-bodies scattered everywhere, burning in wild, hungry flames. When the fire finally died, all that was left were piles of charred remains.

Chloe's mind worked through the mystery, bit by bit, everything starting to make sense. "Maybe it wasn't the other three families who wanted to steal the treasure. Maybe it was your family, the Grevenbergs. Once you got the treasure map, you never planned to share. So you staged a massacre, made it look like the whole Grevenberg family—and the map―vanished off the face of the earth.”

She pressed on, voice steady, "The thirty-eight people who died? They were decoys, picked out by your family. Grant, you said the old villa on Rooster Hill belonged to the Grevenbergs. Ever wonder why there was a water dungeon under the house? I bet your family locked up those stand-ins, just waiting for the day they'd need scapegoats."

"And there's more. That water dungeon has a hidden tunnel. It only opens when the water pressure is just right. I doubt you ever found it. But my mentor, Connor, and I—we escaped through that tunnel. Do you know where it comes out?" Chloe's eyes met his. "There's an abandoned well at the base of Zen Heart Temple. That's the exit."

Images flashed through Chloe's mind, everything falling into place. "Isn't it obvious? The Grevenbergs faked their own deaths, used decoys, pulled off an elaborate scam to trick the world."

Grevenbergs? I bet your family hired them, just to pin the blame on the other three families. As for why those bodies were already dead before the assassins even showed up my guess is, the decoys tried to fight back. So your own family killed them, burned the bodies, and left everyone chasing the wrong
