The Disguised Billionaire She Rejected novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

Ryan and Mr. Whitfield remained frozen as they watched the red sedan disappear into the darkness.

For a long moment, neither of them spoke.

Mr. Whitfield was the first to break the silence. He rubbed his forehead repeatedly before saying, “What the heck did we just watch? That man… he looked exactly like Mr. Eden.”

Ryan’s eyes remained fixed on the monitor.

“I don’t understand it either,” he admitted. “But one thing is certain. Something terrible happened inside

that house.”

Ryan skipped to the following day.

Most of the footage showed nothing unusual. Until night fell.

Ryan suddenly leaned forward. “The car…”

The same red sedan slowly appeared once again.

It stopped in exactly the same position as the previous night.

The identical man stepped out calmly and walked into Mr. Eden’s house.

Several minutes later, he emerged again.

This time, he was dragging a large traveling bag behind him.

He struggled slightly with its weight before opening the trunk and forcing the bag inside.

After shutting the trunk, he climbed into the driver’s seat and drove away without looking back.

Ryan’s breathing slowed.

His eyes widened as several pieces finally began fitting together.

He stared at the screen before muttering quietly, “Mr. Eden… had a twin.”

Mr. Whitfield immediately turned toward him.

“A twin?”

Ryan nodded slowly. “It has to be.”

He pointed toward the frozen image.

“The real Mr. Eden came home with his wife.”

His finger then moved toward the second recording.

“But this man arrived afterward. He entered the house wearing different clothes, with messy hair, and

blood on his hand when he came back out. I think… his twin came that night. and killed Mr. Eden…”

“And the following night, he returned to remove the body.”

Mr. Whitfield felt a chill run down his spine. “My God…”

Meanwhile, back in the city, the Alfred family was celebrating what they believed was the beginning of a

new era.

Victoria had officially been appointed as the company’s new Chief Operating Officer.

The announcement had already spread throughout the business community.

At the same time, the Alfred family had successfully finalized their partnership with Eden’s company.

According to the agreement, fifty percent of both companies’ operations would now be merged, while Eden willingly agreed to hand over thirty percent of his company’s revenue to the Alfred family.

Blinded by his love for Victoria, he hadn’t hesitated for a second before signing every document placed before him. The Alfred family couldn’t have been happier.

To them, it was the perfect deal.

Their investment would be recovered within just a couple of months, and after that, the steady profits would continue flowing into their accounts.

They weren’t worried in the slightest. Eden’s company had existed for over twenty years. It had survived economic crises, market crashes, and fierce competition.

As far as they were concerned, nothing could possibly go wrong.

That same evening also happened to be Mrs. Alfred’s birthday. Rather than holding two separate events, the family decided to combine the birthday celebration with the company’s recent success.

The mansion was brightly decorated.

Long tables overflowed with expensive dishes, desserts, and drinks while guests laughed and chatted happily.

Then… The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Julia entered, arriving alone. She wasn’t a brat, to be fool enough not to come here and wish her grandmother, despite everything.

Unlike the others carrying luxury handbags or expensive gifts, she simply held a neatly wrapped box in both hands.

Ignoring the stares directed at her, Julia calmly walked toward Mrs. Alfred before placing the gift box respectfully on the table.

She lowered her head politely.

“Happy birthday, Grandmother. I wish you many more years filled with good health, happiness, and wealth.”

She gently pushed the box forward.

“I prepared this gift myself. It’s made from carefully selected herbs that are very beneficial for your health. I hope you’ll like it.”

Mrs. Alfred didn’t even reach for the gift.

She merely looked at Julia with cold, indifferent eyes, as though she wasn’t even part of the family.n There wasn’t the slightest trace of appreciation on her face. Instead, her expression grew even colder.

She waved her hand dismissively and said, “Pack your nonsense and get out of here. What exactly do you think you’re doing? You came all the way to my birthday with a box of tea? Look around you. Everyone here presented expensive jewelry, luxury watches, antiques, paintings, and gifts worthy of this occasion, yet you expect me to be impressed by tea? For all I know, you might even be trying to poison me.”

The entire hall fell silent.

Julia’s face turned pale, but she forced herself to remain calm. She took a slow breath before replying, ” Grandmother… how could you think that? I would never do something like that. This isn’t ordinary tea. The ingredients alone cost over two hundred thousand dollars. It’s specially prepared for improving health, strengthening the body, and promoting longevity. I truly don’t have any hidden intentions.”
