"Your Majesty, Uno Country offers three cities as a dowry, requesting to marry their little princess to you. As long as you agree, the cession agreement will be signed immediately.""The princess of Tanin Country, known as the most beautiful woman in the world, publicly declared in the media that she would marry no one but you.""Several other countries have also called, expressing their willingness to send their princesses to Northia for you to choose from..."At Cloud City's private airport, Xavier Taylor, clad in a dark green coat, stepped off the plane with a towering figure and handsome features. The world-shaking news from his subordinates couldn't stir the slightest ripple in him."Five years ago, she wore a white wedding dress, becoming the most beautiful bride in the world to marry me, yet I left the wedding, turning her into the biggest laughingstock in Cloud City.""Now, five years have passed, and I return with glory, solely wanting to protect her.""As for others, what do

"Hitting you is nothing. I could even kill you, believe it or not?"That one sentence left everyone in shock.Mr. Rivers covered his face in shock, trying to speak harshly, but Xavier's cold gaze silenced him.The Lewis family was utterly horrified.In Cloud City, wealthy families abound, but the Lewis family doesn't even rank, while the Rivers family holds true local power.As the young master of the Rivers family, Mr. Rivers was never contradicted, let alone hit.And Xavier, once a laughingstock, returns after five years missing, not only hitting Mr. Rivers but also threatening to kill him?"Do you even know who Mr. Rivers is? Hitting him is a death wish." Lucy pointed at Xavier, her hand trembling.Today was the day the Lewis family invited Mr. Rivers to finalize the wedding date, but Xavier's disruption ruined everything, and it might even lead to the Lewis family being retaliated against by Mr. Rivers.Xavier turned to Lucy with a calm gaze, "I don't care who he is.""You madman,

"Sophie, I heard from Auntie that you're not feeling well. I rushed over as soon as I got off the plane. These are gifts I brought especially for you and Auntie."The young man held a bouquet in one hand and a large assortment of expensive supplements in the other, smiling warmly as he greeted Lucy and her husband, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie.""Oh Kyle, it's so nice of you to come, you didn't have to bring gifts!"Lucy smiled broadly and quickly accepted the gifts.Then, noticing Sophie's frighteningly gloomy expression, she quickly called out, "Sophie, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and take the flowers, invite Kyle in to sit."As for Xavier, she completely ignored him."Auntie, it's fine; we're all family here. No need for formalities."The young man smiled and, without waiting for Sophie to speak, walked directly into the courtyard, greeted Sophie's father familiarly, and sat down to chat.Seeing this, Xavier's expression remained unchanged, but Sophie's face turned extr

"Xavier, what are you still doing here?"In the Lewis family courtyard, Lucy eagerly examined the gifts, and upon noticing Xavier still standing aside, she frowned in displeasure."I want to stay with my wife and daughter," Xavier said.He returned to make amends for his regrets and would not leave just because of a few words from Lucy."Your wife and daughter aren't here. This is my house. Get out," Lucy demanded, shaking with rage."I remember when we bought this courtyard, I was the one who paid for it, and it's registered in my name," Xavier said, touching his nose with a smirk.Before Lucy could speak, he continued, "Of course, even if my death certificate is issued, it doesn't matter. As long as I prove I'm still alive, I can reclaim everything. Then, who knows who will have to leave?""You, you ungrateful brat! How did the Lewis family produce such an ungrateful scoundrel like you? You came back to seize the house. Why hasn't lightning struck you down?" Lucy cried out in anger.

As Xavier returned to the Lewis family courtyard, he heard Lucy's scolding voice, "I said we shouldn't let that ungrateful wretch Xavier come back, but you insisted on agreeing. Look, yesterday he hit Mr. Rivers, and today he hit another influential young man, and even Cheryl got hit.""He's nothing but a trouble magnet. Later, when he goes to the main house for dinner, he's sure to get scolded by the matriarch.""Sigh..."She let out a weary sigh, and the excitement from the gifts sent by Daniel was gone at the thought of the impending scolding from the matriarch."Mom, I know very well who was right and who was wrong last night."Sophie, holding Sienna, said coldly, "Today's incident was Xavier's fault. I'll make him apologize to Cheryl.""Mommy, Daddy wasn't wrong."At this moment, little Sienna looked up and said, "Aunt Cheryl was the one who first called me a little monster, that's why Daddy got angry. That uncle said bad things about Mommy, and that's why Daddy hit him.""What?
