The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1047

Mabel steadied Elijah as he got to his feet, and they started catching up on the past three years. Life had been tough for both of them. Elijah had his own battles—gathering evidence, biding his time, waiting for the right moment. Nothing had come easy.

Finally, Mabel asked, “I heard from Estelle that you got married?”

Elijah had indeed tied the knot. “Yes, to a girl I met in college. I’ll bring her over to meet you one of these days.” He seemed at peace with his decision.

Mabel, looking far more accepting than before, said, “Elijah, here in Bright Town, all I want is for you to be happy.”

“The Ulbricht saga is a quagmire. Be careful not to get too caught up in it.”

“I will,” he assured her.

Leaving the hospital, Elijah made a call: “I’m done here. Meeting with the Ulbrichts tonight.”

Back at the Ulbricht residence, instead of his new bride—Amber Granger—he was greeted by Octavia.

“Ms. Donahue.”

Elijah stepped out of his car, regarding Octavia with a cold gaze. It had been three years since they last met. In that time, Elijah had transformed from a dashing young gentleman into a powerful figure within the Ulbricht family. The gentle demeanor he once had was gone, replaced by a more intimidating presence.

Octavia, visibly uncomfortable, bit her lip: “What do I need to do for you to spare the Donahues?”

The Donahues were on the brink of collapse, and all their former allies had deserted them. The authorities were still investigating, and their situation was precarious. She had no choice but to plead with Elijah.

“I know you despise me, and the Donahues. Whatever you want to do, I can accept it, but please, spare my parents.”

Elijah couldn’t help but feel both amused and disgusted. “Ms. Donahue, do you remember three years ago, when my father was critically ill in prison, and I begged you to use your influence to let me see him one last time? What did you say?”
