Betrayed? I Upgraded to His Billionaire Brother novel Chapter 166

Third person POV

Zane didn’t wait for Amelia to react. He grabbed her and marched straight to the elevator, heading for the parking garage.

Humiliated in front of everyone. Amelia was stunned. “What did I even say wrong? Go look for yourself! Elara’s lipstick today is the exact same

shade as Gavin’s!”

But it wasn’t just the lipstick.

Everything about Gavin and Elara felt off.

Siblings?

Only these oblivious men would buy that.

Since when does a sister’s ears turn bright red in her brother’s apartment?

“Enough!” Zane was sick of her constantly throwing accusations at Elara. He shoved her hard against the car, his words grinding out through clenched teeth. “You insisted on coming today, and I let you. Now you can get the hell out.”

“Zane, do you really hate me this much now?”

Yesterday, Zane had just thrown a divorce certificate in her face, telling her he and Elara were done.

But she was afraid he was lying. She came today to see for herself what was really going on between Elara and Zane.

Hate her? Zane was way past that. He yanked the car door open, shoved her inside, and barked at the driver, “Take her back. Now.”

Amelia, unable to push the door back open, rolled down the window and grabbed his sleeve. “When will you go with me to get the marriage

license?”

He shook her hand off, brushing his sleeve as if it were dirty. “I already had someone handle it. The marriage certificate will be delivered

tomorrow.”

“Zane…” Amelia caught on fast, her voice tight. “You’re lying to me, aren’t you? The divorce certificate was fake, right?”

If he’d gotten a real divorce, fine. But a marriage license? Taking her to get it for real would be simpler and easier than having “someone handle

it.”

It could only mean he was playing her. He was blowing smoke.

But he’d forgotten–she wasn’t as easily fooled as Elara!

A glacial coldness flashed in Zane’s eyes, as if he’d been provoked. He ripped the car door back open, his hand clamping around her neck like a vise. “Amelia, don’t fucking take my kindness for weakness.”

“The fact that I’m even willing to lie to you is a mercy you should be grateful for. Since you’re forcing my hand…”

His patience had officially run out.

His eyes narrowed. Ignoring her struggles, he looked at the driver through the rearview mirror. “Lock her back in the villa in the suburbs. Cut

off the water. Cut off the food.”

Chapter 166

Amelia’s eyes widened in shock and horror. “What are you trying to do…7”

“You’re so clever, figure it out yourself”

Zane released her neck, his right hand gently patting her cheek. The motion seemed almost tender, but his voice was venomous, like Satan

himself

“I don’t have the energy to play games with you anymore. You’ll stay in that basement and think long and hard about whether you’re going to

Tell me where Jess is”

“No food or water… the human limit is about seven days, right? If you haven’t figured it out in those seven days… just die.”

He said the last two words almost in a whisper.

A wave of goosebumps erupted all over Amelia’s skin!

True fear dawned in her eyes. For the first time, she truly realized the man in front of her might be even more terrifying than the notoriously

ruthless Gavin!

Amelia began to tremble uncontrollably. “If I die, aren’t you afraid you’ll never find her?”

“Amelia, this is the second time you’ve threatened me.”

Zane pinched her chin and smiled faintly. “Tell me, what would make your death more painful? How about I let a few big Dobermans into the basement to keep you company?”

“NO!!” Amelia instantly broke, sobbing. “I–I’ll talk! Will you let me go if I tell you?”

Zane’s tone was gentle. “Of course.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Seeing his serious expression, Amelia knew she had no way out. The sheer terror made her whole body shake. “The… the people who adopted her back then… they were from New York.”

Zane frowned. “You’re sure?”

“Positive!” Amelia nodded like a woodpecker, praying for a shred of mercy.

It was only at this moment she realized that her previous actions were no different from bargaining with a tiger.

The sheer malice in this man’s bones was beyond what anyone could imagine.

“Is that so.” Zane responded flatly. He slammed the rear door shut, then knocked on the driver’s window. “Go get one of the Dobermans. The

most aggressive one.”

Then, he slowly straightened up, reining in the violent aura around him. With one hand, he meticulously fastened his suit button, transforming back into the refined, elegant Zane.

He turned and headed back upstairs, as if completely deaf to the desperate screams coming from the car.
