Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 1075

Grant steadied himself as he stood, still feeling a little light-headed.

The pastor turned away, lighting another stick of incense. After a moment of silent prayer, he looked back at Grant and said, “I’m planning a ceremony at Zen Heart Temple. I want you to invite the heads of all four major families. I need to confront the Sartori family in front of everyone. If this really is all just a misunderstanding, then let’s let the past stay in the past and move on.”

Grant looked confused. “If you want to confront them, isn’t it enough to just invite Jeffery and Nemo? Why bring in the heads of all four families?”

But then it clicked for him. Maybe the pastor wanted witnesses—people who could see the truth for themselves.

The pastor continued, “When you invite them, tell them that if this really was just a misunderstanding, I’ll open up the century-old treasure of the four families. We’ll split it evenly between our Ballard Group and the four families, just like our ancestors promised a hundred years ago.”

Grant’s eyes went wide in shock. His father had rarely spoken of the treasure, but Grant knew a little—he remembered his father poring over old maps night after night when he was a kid. The legends had always sounded like fairy tales.

He hesitated. “But… the key to the treasure…”

He knew the truth: out of the four keys, the Shaw family’s emerald pendant, the Sartori family’s emerald pendant, and the Gilbert family’s dragon plaque were all, by some twist of fate, now in Chloe’s hands. Only the Nagel family’s peace pendant was still with them.

The pastor’s voice was gentle. “Just tell your junior the truth. She’ll bring the keys.”

Isaac stood too, suddenly all polite and proper. “Big brother,” he echoed.

Grant didn’t say a word. He just looked around the room, then his gaze landed on Chloe.

Chloe was dressed simply today—a high ponytail, plain white T-shirt, sky blue jeans. She looked casual, fresh, and effortlessly pretty. Her face was bare, but somehow that only made her more beautiful.
