Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 1068

Jeffery was a bundle of nerves, his emotion spilling over.

“All these years, even though I knew where he was, I never went to see him. I always thought he took the fall for me, carried the blame his whole life. Even after Crimson Moon was destroyed, he chose to stay on the run. He knew I’d made it—I have power, I have money—yet he never came to me for help. I thought it was because the Grevenberg family was a shadow we couldn’t bear to face.”

Then, out of nowhere, Jeffery let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “But I was wrong! Completely wrong!”

His laughter was laced with irony at first, but it soon faded into grief and regret.

It felt as if a heavy weight had finally lifted from his chest—he was both relieved and a little hollow inside. Relieved, because neither of them had actually committed some terrible, unforgivable crime. But also lost, because all this time, each of them had believed the other was the guilty one.

Truth was, Jeffery had known for a long time that there was a survivor from the Grevenberg family. And he’d set out for revenge.

His eyes drifted to Connor, almost unconsciously. There was something complicated in his gaze, as if he was seeing someone else in Connor’s place.

That kid—he had to be the last of the Grevenbergs.

That’s why, back then, Jeffery had been so dead set against Connor and Claire being together.

But in the end, his daughter still paid the price for that doomed love.

After Claire died, Jeffery burned the only thing Shadow had ever given him—a set of Go pieces. He knew, deep down, it was karma. His daughter’s life was payment for his own past. And it was Nemo who’d carried that burden for him.

He wasn’t cold-hearted. If anything, after everything he’d survived, he saw Shadow as family—the only real family he had. And Shadow felt the same.

Chloe let out a soft sigh. “The worst part is, I have no idea where he is now.”

Suddenly, Jeffery spoke up. “He’s here.”

His words caught everyone off guard.

“Jeffery, what do you mean? Who’s here?”
