Chapter 466 Billionaire's Lies

• Saben's hand stayed close to hers, a quiet promise that she wasn't on her own. But her heart still raced in her chest, still shaken by the meeting with JM. And as they approached her car, her eyes flashed sideways just in time to see the familiar figure of JM Reese standing by his car, his new girlfriend Eva Ross by his side.
• Her breath caught, her heart missing a beat when their eyes met across the distance of the parking lot. For a moment, a fleeting one, time stood still. It was not merely the physical distance between them that left her feeling far away, but also the emotional gap that had grown in the intervening time. The bond they once shared now felt like a lifetime away, yet the attraction she still felt was unmistakable.
• JM's expression was impassive, yet a glint of something flickered in his eyes something she couldn't pin down. Regret? Sorrow? She didn't know. His eyes lingered slightly longer than they needed to, and she could feel the beat of her heart accelerate, a collision of old emotions and new bitter resentments ready to rise up.
