THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOUR SECRET HEIR'S AND HIS BETRAYED WIFE

THE ACCIDENT THAT SHOOK THE WILLIAMS FAMILY

Veronica had finally received the fortune her late father had left behind, the fortune Mr. Alex had carefully kept in his possession before his death. For years, Veronica had known that her father had built something valuable, but she had never imagined that the inheritance would be enough to completely change her life. Now that everything had been transferred into her name, she was determined to rebuild her life from the ground up.

She had already started putting plans into motion. She was establishing new businesses, meeting with investors, purchasing properties, and quietly building an empire that would soon make her name known far beyond the Williams family.

She no longer wanted to depend on anyone.

She had spent too many years being treated as though she had no value, and she had finally decided that the best revenge was to become someone nobody could ever look down on again.

Meanwhile, preparations for the Williams Charity Gala were already underway. The event was scheduled to take place in a week's time, and the entire Williams family was expected to attend.

But while the Williams family was busy preparing for the grand occasion, another secret was growing inside Lynn's stomach.

Her stomach had begun to protrude, making everyone believe that she was pregnant. But the truth was completely different.

The pregnancy was artificial.

Lynn had arranged everything through a hospital, using a procedure that would make her body appear pregnant. She had gone to great lengths to make sure nobody discovered the truth before she received what she wanted from the Williams family.

She was determined to secure her position.

On the other hand, Veronica had just visited her doctor for a medical examination. She sat quietly on the examination bed while Doctor Norah carefully examined the results of her scan.

After a few moments, the doctor looked up at her with surprise.

“The scan shows that you are carrying four babies,” Doctor Norah announced.

Veronica's eyes widened.

“Four?” she exclaimed.

“Yes,” Doctor Norah replied with a smile. “You are carrying quadruplets.”

Veronica placed her hand over her stomach, staring at the scan results in disbelief.

“So I am carrying his four children,” she whispered.

Her mind immediately went to Richard.

For a moment, she imagined Richard's reaction if he ever discovered that she was carrying four of his children.

But the thought quickly disappeared.

“This is not something their father will ever know,” Veronica said quietly.

Doctor Norah looked at her.

“You mean you do not plan to tell him?”

Veronica shook her head.

“I lost him in a car accident,” she replied without hesitation. “The children do not have a father.”

Doctor Norah's expression changed.

“Oh, I am sorry to hear that.”

“Thank you.”

Veronica stepped down from the examination bed and collected the scan results. She held the paper tightly in her hand as she walked out of the hospital.

Once she entered her car, she looked at the results again.

A faint smile appeared on her face.

“The Williams family will never see their grandchildren,” she whispered. “Not in their entire lives. And Richard will never set his eyes on my babies.”

She started the engine and drove away.

But Veronica did not know that someone had already decided that she would never reach her destination.

As the hours passed, she noticed a black car following her.

At first, she ignored it.

Then she changed lanes.

The black car changed lanes too.

She slowed down.

The black car slowed down.

Veronica's hands tightened around the steering wheel.

“Why is this car following me?” she asked herself. “Maybe I should drive faster.”

Fear slowly began to creep into her heart.

She pressed down on the accelerator.

The car behind her immediately increased its speed.

Veronica's breathing became heavier.

“Why are they still following me?”

Inside the black car were three men dressed completely in black. Their faces were hidden, and their eyes remained fixed on Veronica's vehicle.

They had only one instruction.

Destroy Veronica.

Lynn had sent them.

“Don't let her escape,” one of the men ordered.

Veronica continued speeding, desperately trying to lose them.

Suddenly, the black car moved beside her.

“What are you doing?” Veronica screamed.

The men slammed their vehicle against hers.

Her car swerved violently.

“No!”

She tried to regain control, but the vehicle was already moving toward the edge of the road.

The black car struck her again.

With one final push, Veronica's car went off the road and plunged into a deep pit.

“Nooooo!”

Her scream echoed through the air.

The vehicle crashed heavily at the bottom.

Within moments, flames erupted from the car.

The men stopped their vehicle and watched from a distance.

One of them pulled out his phone.

“Finally,” he said coldly. “We have achieved our aim.”

He immediately called Lynn.

“The job is done. We need our balance.”

Lynn was still speaking to him when Richard suddenly rushed into the room.

“Lynn!”

She turned around.

“What happened?”

Richard's face was pale, and panic was written all over him.

“I just heard that Veronica has been involved in an accident.”

Lynn's heart skipped for a completely different reason.

“What?”

“The media captured everything. The victim is Veronica.”

Lynn stared at him.

Richard continued speaking rapidly.

“And the doctor who examined her said she had just left the hospital after a scan. He said she was carrying four babies.”

Lynn's eyes widened.

“Four babies?”

Richard nodded.

“You mean quadruplets?”

“Yes.”

Lynn slowly sat down.

Richard's voice trembled.

“She told the doctor that their father was dead.”

Within three hours, the news had spread everywhere.

Social media exploded with rumors.

Some anonymous accounts accused Richard of treating Veronica badly during their marriage, claiming that she had been pushed to the point of declaring him dead.

Others said Veronica had simply wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

But the majority of people condemned Richard.

They called him heartless and cruel, especially because Lynn had appeared in his life so quickly after Veronica left the Williams household.

“You sound as if those children were heaven to you,” Lynn said bitterly, her jealousy becoming impossible to hide.

“Lynn, this is not the time to be jealous,” Richard snapped.

“A time to mourn a dead pregnant woman?” Lynn asked sarcastically. “Or a time to celebrate the fact that she told everyone you were dead?”

Richard stared at her.

“At least I have you,” Lynn continued. “One child from you will be better than ten thousand children the Williams family could ever have with Veronica.”

Richard grabbed his car keys.

“I am going to the accident scene.”

Lynn immediately stood up.

“And where do you think you are going?”

“I am going to find her body.”

“Her body?” Lynn laughed coldly. “What makes you think there will be anything left? Did you not see the media reports? The car was completely burned.”

Richard's jaw tightened.

“No matter what happened, I must find something. A piece of her, anything I can bury properly. She was my wife, and those were my children.”

“Your wife?” Lynn repeated, her voice filled with bitterness.

Richard looked at her.

“Do not try to stop me this time.”

Lynn picked up a glass of wine from the table.

“You are such a funny man, Richard. You love making a fool of yourself.”

She took a slow sip.

“You did not regard her as anything when she was alive. Now that she is dead, you suddenly want to make everything right. What do you think the world will call you?”

Richard ignored her and walked toward the door.

Lynn watched him.

“Go,” she said calmly. “Go search for the dead while I prepare to welcome my mother-in-law.”

Richard left without another word.

The moment the door closed behind him, Lynn's expression completely changed.

A wide smile spread across her face.

“Finally,” she whispered.

She walked toward the window and watched Richard drive away.

“My plan has finally succeeded. Veronica cannot come back to fight me for the inheritance.”

She laughed softly.

“Once my adopted baby is handed over to me, Richard will have no choice but to forget Veronica forever.”

Lynn raised her glass toward the window.

“You will come back and meet me here, Richard.”

She smiled confidently, completely convinced that Veronica was dead.

But somewhere beneath the burning wreckage, the truth was waiting to be discovered.
