Xayne gazed at the servile figures before him from under his mask. Although he smiled coldly, he shook their hands and stated, “Mr. Eric, I came to discuss a collaboration with your family.”‘What?! Mr. White wants to collaborate with us?’Eric was elated at the unexpected turn of events. He could hardly believe such an esteemed figure would approach his company. Eric thought it was a blessing from above. He was overwhelmed with excitement as he lowered his head. “Please, come inside, Mr. White.”Tim was just as thrilled as he followed Eric. Meanwhile, Sophia seemed to have fallen lovesick and could not stop looking at Xayne with admiration and infatuation.‘Wow, Mr. White is handsome even though he’s wearing a mask. His charm and wealth are evident, and his presence surpasses even Chuck’s. Is Mr. White secretly a business tycoon in Shalholm?’The Swifts fell in line as they smiled and followed Eric. Suddenly, Violet rushed forward and grabbed Serena, who was staring foolishly at

Everyone in the conference room gasped.‘Another multimillion-dollar project? Wait, this one’s more than what the Ghazali Corporation offered.’ Eric was so excited that he scrutinized every word in the document.Then, he took a breath and smiled, asking, “Mr. White, is this project really for us?”Xayne nodded. “That’s correct.”“Excellent! We’ll terminate our collaboration with the Ghazali Corporation immediately,” Eric decided.‘With Mr. White’s higher offer, we’ll no longer need the Ghazali Corporation—no wonder people regard him as Chuck’s big boss.’Before Eric and the others could celebrate, Xayne added, “As for the second condition, I want Ms. Serena to be in charge. None can interfere, either. Is that agreeable for you, Mr. Eric?”The room fell silent yet again as all eyes turned to Serena, sitting in a corner. Even she was stunned. Beside her, Violet, Royce, and Tony looked astonished.Violet grabbed Serena and excitedly said, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up, thank

Xayne tugged on his tie and exhaled before answering Serena’s call. He asked, “Who’d you see? Don’t tell me you saw Mr. White.”“How’d you know?” Serena questioned suspiciously.Xayne smiled. “It was just a guess.”Serena said coquettishly, “Are you watching me or something? How’d you guess that? I have so much to tell you! He came to the company just now to discuss a multimillion-dollar project. Can you believe it?! He wants me to be in charge, too!”Xayne joked, “That’s great, right? Now, Coco and I can just rely on you, and your standing in the family will improve.”“What are you talking about?” Serena blushed. “Honestly, I’ve always felt Mr. White is very similar to you, especially his eyes. By the way, where are you now?”Xayne casually replied, “Oh, me? I’m at the company. My boss has something going on, so she needs me here. Why, what’s the matter?”Serena’s hopes diminished when she heard that. She muttered, “Then it’s not you…”Then, she smiled again and said, “It’s no

Xayne hung up his phone and sighed. Then, he told the driver to take him to Ghazali Corporation. To avoid misunderstandings, Xayne got out of the car a block away and walked to the building, only to run into Ariana getting out of her car at the entrance.She seemed distressed and walked in a hurry. She was embarrassed when she saw Xayne at the door. Ariana had just returned from visiting Abel at the Patrol Bureau in the morning. When she saw him, she noticed he had lost a leg and two arms.Although the authorities rushed Abel to the hospital in time, and the doctors reattached his right arm, it was still a horrifying sight for Ariana. She could not imagine what had happened the night before. After seeing her brother’s condition, Ariana felt chills run down her spine.Moreover, the Ghazalis had received the news about Abel’s arrest this morning. Immediately after, his father took a plane to Shalholm, arriving in just half an hour.Ariana gasped when she saw Xayne at the entrance. Ho

The receiving officer’s remark infuriated Amelia. She stepped forward and shouted at him, “What did you say?! You’re just a puny receiving officer in a small district. How dare you yell at me?!“How could my son be involved in attempted rape? It’s a setup! Name your price, officer!” Amelia pulled out three thick bundles of cash from her Gucci bag as she spoke, slamming them onto the desk.She demanded, “Is that enough? It’s probably several months’ worth of your salary, right? If that’s not enough, I’ll transfer whatever you need. Release my son immediately!“He’s an outstanding young man with a master’s degree. Why would he want to rape anyone? Someone’s trying to frame him!”The officer stared at the stacks of bills, rebuking, “How dare you try bribing me?! We uphold justice in Shalholm. Abel is a suspect of attempted rape, and that’s a fact. No one is framing him. Put away your money and apologize for your insults. Otherwise, I’ll arrest you.”Amelia was outraged as the small-t
