Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 554



Ruby initially dismissed seeing him sitting there twice as mere coincidence. She didn't suspect a thing. That evening, she and Isaac were heading home late, way after the amusement park had closed. Isaac had dozed off in the car. But as they cruised along the roadside, Ruby caught sight of that familiar child again, just a fleeting glimpse.

His head hung low, and he exuded loneliness, wandering by the road all by himself. His shoulders were trembling slightly-was he crying? On such a chilly night, there he was, alone on the road. Ruby immediately urged the driver to turn around. Yet, by the time they did, the little boy was nowhere to be seen; only a black van zipped by. Its license plate was hidden, and Ruby's instincts screamed that something was off. She called the police right away and had the driver carry Isaac out of the car, then she jumped in and chased the van.

What happened over the next few days was a whirlwind. In a nutshell, Ruby's brave actions led to the exposure of the notorious nationwide child trafficking ring, Operation 121. She saved not just Connor but many other children too. Indeed, it was Ruby herself who safely brought Connor back to the Sartori family.

The Sartoris had been searching high and low for Connor, unaware that traffickers had taken him-they thought Claire had hidden him instead. Claire, well, she knew a huge secret about herself...

Gazing at the strikingly handsome face in front of her, Ruby couldn't help but recall a familiar figure. She let out a deep sigh inside. The Sartori family, oh, they were a tangled web. Her emotions were all over the place, but she kept her smile steady: "Funny how fate works, huh? The Shaw and Sartori families were always the most distant among the four great families, and now look at us, all tied together."

Connor gave a warm, respectful smile: "For the younger generation, it's truly an honor."

for their decisive business moves but kept their private lives under wraps. They weren't big on socializing either. The other three great families had been intermarrying for generations, creating a tangled web of connections. The Shaws, however, stayed independent, especially after Neil and his wife moved abroad. They weren't just all about business; they had a passion for philanthropy.

Isaac and Connor had been rivals for ages. They went to the same university. Isaac was great, but Connor always edged him out slightly, earning Isaac the nickname "Eternal Isaac" behind his back. When Connor returned home to start his business, Isaac did too. They competed across many fields, but Connor always had that slight edge. Eventually, Isaac founded ISC Technology, and boom-he became the new tech hotshot. He also launched several esports companies, backing the country's top teams and racking up awards. In this arena, he was the uncontested king. Since Connor hadn't ventured into esports, it wasn't a direct victory over him, but Isaac still felt a bit overshadowed.

Connor chuckled: "Sure thing, I'll call you brother-in-law, and you can call me Kash. We'll each have our titles."

Isaac looked skeptical: "And why should I call you Kash?"
