Billionaire Love Affair with the Surrogate

One Hundred Forty-Six

Ch. 146 / 153 Mar 13, 2026

The direction of the competition suddenly changed winds. When they thought the sides will be even with the appearance of Alex, suddenly, a bunch of small players rose up against Damon Castellano.

They attacked the Castellanos Group of Companies in all sides. This leads to a financial predicament. This shocking news was spread throughout the business industry.

Is the number one leading conglomerate will be over throned soon?

This was what everyone thought and all eyes were in this competition. No matter how big or small the company, they were heads up in listening to the updates of the happenings.

Inside the office, Veronica and Andrei were looking into the situation with delight.

“It actually worked!” She happily cheered as she looked at Andrei approvingly. This man actually had some use.

Andrei, on the other hand, was also satisfied. He anticipates the day that Damon Castellano will fall.

He smirked inwardly.

“Of course. Sooner or later, Damon Castellano’s haughty attitude will be crushed.” He vowed with dark eyes and malice dripping from them.

He then thought, finally, he’ll beat that man. The man who took everything from him. and when that time comes, he’ll take back what is his.

His prestige, power, and his wife. Anya better be ready. An immersed look flashed on his face. When Veronica heard his words, she also smirked. When the time Damon feels lost and desperate, then that is where she will step up and save the day.

And with that, Damon will finally realize that only she, Veronica, will be there for him and could support him. She is the woman who is for Damon.

Both people smiled triumphally, with illusions filling their minds. But they were too blinded by power, hate and revenge, that they fail to really see through the people they desire.

“Oh well, how about I visit him. I need to knock some sense to him earlier.” Veronica said as she stood up and grabbed her bag.

Andrei turned to Veronica and nodded.

“Right. Go do your purpose.” He said with a blank expression.

Veronica made face to him and just waved as she turned back to leave. She went out to ride her car. She told her driver to the Castellanos Group of Companies destination.

When she arrived, she went out of the car and looked up at the magnificent and imposing building. Her heart started to raise as she daydreamed of the day, these will also be hers. Finally, the highest pinnacle, it is almost her reach.

She smiled excitedly.

The day where no one would dare look down at her, and she will be at the top with the man of her dreams since time immemorial.

She went inside the building and headed to Damon’s office. She walked straight but was stopped by a secretary.

“I’m sorry Miss, do you have an appointment?” The secretary asked. Veronica immediately turned to him sharply.

“Excuse me? Do you know who I am?” She retorted back to him.

The secretary’s face was blank as he turned to the others for assistance. This made Veronica even more dissatisfied.

“I am Veronica Ambrosia. Move. Out of my way.” Veronica pushed through her way even though the secretaries were stopping her.

And when she reached the door, she pushed it open.

Inside, Damon was behind his desk talking to a man before him. This man must be Alex. Veronica smiled amusedly at them. Are they talking about their troubles now?

“Sir, I am very sorry, we tried to stop her.” The secretary’s voice sounded beside her. She turned to the person with a glare.

She looked again at Damon and showed a smile.

“I am just visiting you. Why so hostile as to stop me?” She asked teasingly. Was he scared now?

Damon looked calmly at the woman and waved at his secretary. “Let her be.” His cold voice rang.

Veronica’s smile deepened as she followed the scurrying figures of the secretaries with the side of her eyes. She then looked back at Damon.

“How are you, Damon?” She asked with an exaggerated concern.

“What brought you here, Miss Ambrosia?” Damon didn’t answer the question and just leaned on his seat.

“I came here with my offer again. and it will always be open for you.” Veronica said while smiling softly.

“Damon, you should stop being stubborn. I am here to help you. Can’t you see my heart? think of what you will get and receive if it is me you marry.” She added as she stepped closer.

Damon laughed lightly like what she was telling was completely ridiculous.

“Ms. Ambrosia, I can achieve ang get whatever I want without anyone’s help.” Damon raised his chin and brows at Veronica, completely unfazed.

“Ms. Ambrosia is so admirable and competent, and I wonder why you keep forcing yourself here?” He mocked as he tilted his head questioningly at her.

It was completely looking down at her.

The smile on Veronica’s face vanished and she can’t help but glare at Damon.

“How can you still say that? Can’t you see your situation right now?” Veronica exclaimed frustratingly.

Damon only looked at her calmly, without any additional expression. This made Veronica even more triggered.

“Just wait. You’ll come crawling to me, and you’ll regret everything you have said.” Veronica said with gritted teeth.

She turned her back angrily as she left the office furiously with heavy steps. Her heels hitting the cold marble floor loudly.

When Veronica left, the office became quiet.

Alex, who was only listening at the side, turned to his friend. He looked carefully at him. “That woman had become more and more arrogant.” He noted as he looked teasingly at Damon.

Damon only glanced at him and looked towards the door with a disgusted expression.

“I find it funny actually. I wonder where they got the assumption that I am this stupid for them to fool?” He responded with sharpness in his eyes.

Alex only sighed and looked back at his friend.

“But it is true that so many people are attacking and targeting you now. More than what we expected.” He noted. He studied Damon’s expression again and could only still see calmness in them.

He really didn't know what this man was thingking.
