Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 464 Forgot Our Agreement

Emily was caught off guard. Although their relationship extended beyond the professional boundaries of a boss and assistant, as she had once been his closest confidante and lover, that was all in the past. Now, she was merely an assistant. Nothing more. "It seems you've forgotten our agreement, Mr. Xanth," she said with a smile.

Clover's outstretched arm hung in the air, his eyes subtly narrowing. It had been so long since they made that agreement. He couldn't believe she was still holding onto it after all this time. "Emma-" he began.

Maintaining her professional smile, Emily gently cut him off. "You should rest, Mr. Xanth. I'm going to check on Rose. She's had quite a lot to drink tonight, so I can't help but worry about her." Without waiting for Clover's response, she turned and walked toward the door. His expression darkened as she left.

Outside the room, Emily's professional smile immediately faded. She knew precisely what he was about to say that she shouldn't be so stubborn. But she didn't perceive it as stubbornness.

A glimmer of sadness filled her eyes as she took a deep breath, attempting to regain her composure before making her way to Rose's room.

Meanwhile, Jack had been taken to the police station. When the station called Bella, it was late at night, rousing her and Yosef from their slumber.

"What's going on?" Yosef grumbled, clearly irritated.

Bella took the phone and ended the call, but not before noticing the name on the caller ID. Her expression shifted momentarily, and a flash of something unreadable passed through her eyes before she quickly composed herself. "Nothing. It's just Yara. You know how she's infatuated with Jonathan. She keeps calling me lately, asking about his preferences. But it's really inconsiderate of her to call at such odd hours!" Bella fabricated an excuse.

Yosef looked skeptical. "Is that so? It's good that she's interested in Jonathan, but Jonathan... You should teach Yara some strategies. She needs to use the right methods with him."

"Yes, I know," Bella responded absentmindedly.

After soothing Yosef back to sleep and waiting long enough to ensure he was deep in slumber, Bella carefully slipped out of bed. She tiptoed out of the room, getting outside the villa before calling the number back. When the call connected, she asked urgently, "Jorge, has Jack gotten into trouble again?"
