*****At this moment, both Williams and Susan were wearing completely different outfits from yesterday.Not only that.The outfits were new as well, a realization that left Grace stunned for a moment until, ultimately, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.Her mother had lied with such confidence and righteousness that even professional scammers would probably bow respectfully before her.‘Mother… if you simply wanted to go shopping, couldn’t you just say so directly?’ Grace thought helplessly.After all, Xavier’s parents had already given her parents enough clothes just yesterday… enough to last comfortably for days.Yet somehow, her mother still used “limited clothing” as an excuse.‘Amazing… truly amazing.’Unable to help herself, Grace gently massaged her temples, suddenly feeling exhausted.Beside her, Xavier also smiled bitterly.Originally, he had wanted to accompany his wife personally, spend time with her before leaving town, tease her during shopping, and maybe secretly h

*****Hearing the driver, Xavier nodded lightly, paid the fare, and stepped out of the vehicle.The place before him was a somewhat rundown, quiet motel near the outskirts of the city… the kind of place that only stranded people patronize.Seeing this, however, Xavier merely narrowed his eyes slightly.Then, without lingering around, he calmly scanned the main building for a moment before casually heading toward a particular room as though he had visited countless times before.Once he arrived outside the room, he lifted his hand, preparing to knock, but then suddenly…Click.The door slowly opened by itself, a sight that instantly sharpened Xavier’s gaze.Through the slight opening, he caught sight of the room’s interior… and pitch darkness greeted him completely.The kind that made one suspect a vampire was paying monthly rent inside.But before Xavier could think much further…“Boss… please enter,” a low, hoarse voice said quietly from within.Xavier, "_."His brows furrowed faintl

*****Xavier stared at Hunter silently, his expression remaining completely unreadable from beginning to end.But…Looking closely into his eyes right now, it was obvious he wasn’t truly as indifferent as he appeared on the surface.And honestly… how could he be?Hunter had served the Scoan Family loyally for years, practically throwing his entire life at Lucius’ feet.He had guarded him like a mad dog protecting its master, handled dirty tasks without complaint, and obeyed orders without hesitation.[Reference: Chapter 294 – 298]Yet in the end, what did he receive for all that loyalty?The Scoan Patriarch and his son had turned his wife into their personal toy, with both father and son shamelessly sleeping with her behind his back.Even animals would probably have more shame.And the most ridiculous part?Even after discovering everything, Hunter still hadn’t immediately gone to seek revenge.Yet despite that, the two still hunted him like a stray dog.The irony was so thick it coul

*****Before they even arrived at their destination, Hunter had already nearly exhausted himself mentally.The entire journey, the bulky man sat ramrod straight inside the taxi like a criminal transporting himself voluntarily to prison.His sharp eyes never stopped moving for even a second, constantly sweeping through the windows, mirrors, streets, rooftops, pedestrians, and even random stray dogs as though one of them might suddenly pull out a knife and scream, “Found him!”Every time the taxi slowed down, his muscles instinctively tensed, and each time someone glanced into the car, his breathing paused.At one point, a man merely crossed the road while scratching his stomach lazily, and Hunter’s hand instantly shot toward his waist before he remembered he had no weapon anymore.The taxi driver nearly developed hypertension from the terrifying aura behind him.Meanwhile, beside him, Xavier sat lazily with one arm resting against the window, looking so relaxed he genuinely appeared li

*****Both Hunter and Mistress Ayra froze simultaneously.Then Hunter’s respect for Xavier instantly rose another level.‘Amazing,’ he thought in awe.‘Faced with such a stunning woman acting cute and emotional, yet Boss remains calm and unmoved. Truly a man among men.’Meanwhile, Mistress Ayra smiled awkwardly for a brief moment after being shut down publicly.But then…A shameless glint suddenly appeared inside her eyes.“Only someone with improper thoughts would misunderstand,” she purred shamelessly while brushing a strand of hair behind her ear gracefully.Hunter nearly inhaled his own saliva.‘This woman is extremely dangerous!’ he screamed internally.But unfortunately for Mistress Ayra…Xavier merely rolled his eyes like a tired father dealing with a troublesome child.“Quit the nonsense already,” he replied mercilessly before immediately changing the topic without giving her room to continue.“The last time I came here, I told you I knew someone worth recruiting into your gui
