NEW OWNER?
"Are you sure you want to purchase the entire shopping mall?" Daisy asked as she glanced through the documents on the table.Xavier sat across from her, reviewing the final figures before signing the agreement. "Didn't we already discuss this? I wouldn't have come here if I wasn't interested."Daisy gave a small smile. "I know you're interested. I'm just making sure you understand how much we're investing. The mall has several vacant stores, maintenance expenses are high, and the previous owner has been struggling to keep it profitable. It's not exactly a small investment.""That's precisely why we're getting it at a reasonable price, to be honest at a low price," Xavier replied with a smirk. "The location is good, the building is large, and the facilities are worth more than what the current business is generating. We don't need to make a profit from it immediately."Kate, who was standing beside Xavier, checked the remaining documents. "Boss, the legal team has already reviewed the
DID WE GET ROBBED?
“An empty basement may prove that you have nothing to hide inside this house, but it doesn't prove that you're innocent of everything, brother Xavier.”George's voice interrupted the conversation between Xavier and the senior officer.The officer turned towards him with visible irritation.“Mr. George, you can't just make accusations like that without providing evidence.”“I'm not making accusations without reason,” George responded, trying to maintain his composure. “You have inspected the house, and I understand that you haven't found anything. However, what about his activities outside this property? What about his meetings with black-market executives and the large quantities of goods he has been purchasing through them?”Xavier had expected this.He knew George wouldn't remain quiet after seeing the empty basement. There was a reason he had been so eager to bring the officers here, and he wouldn't leave without trying another approach.Xavier glanced at the senior officer and rai
I APPRECIATE YOUR GENEROSITY
“Mr. Lancaster, please open this door.”Xavier glanced at the officer standing in front of the basement entrance before turning his attention to Selene and George.Both of them had faint smiles on their faces.Selene seemed particularly pleased with how things were unfolding. She had been waiting for this moment since they arrived, convinced that the officers would finally discover something Xavier couldn't explain.George, on the other hand, was enjoying the situation far more than he showed.‘Let's see how you get out of this one, Xavier.’He had spent enough time watching Xavier's movements to know that the man had been making unusual purchases. There were reports of supplies, equipment, and weapons being moved around through different channels. Even if the officers hadn't found anything upstairs, the basement was another matter.‘You can't hide everything forever. Once they find what you've been collecting, your money and influence won't be enough to save you.’George almost laugh
PLEASE OPEN THIS DOOR
“Brother Xavier, why are you speaking like that?” George appeared momentarily uncomfortable, but he quickly recovered his composure.“I'm only trying to help you. Everyone knows you've been acting strangely since leaving Horizon, especially after your divorce with sister Selene, and these allegations aren't going to disappear simply because you refuse to acknowledge them.”“Then let the officers explain the allegations themselves.” Xavier suggested with a calm face as if he has nothing to hide from people. “I would rather hear the facts from people who have come here to investigate than listen to your assumptions.”The senior officer stepped forward, holding the documents he had brought with him.“Mr. Lancaster, we've received reports that you're attempting to monopolize essential goods and have illegal weapons stored on your property. We're here to determine whether these allegations are accurate. Do you have anything you'd like to tell us before we begin the inspection?”Xavier mai
WHY DO YOU BELIEVE I'LL BE PUNISHED?
“Boss, there are several people standing outside the gates, and some of them appear to be police officers. What should we do?”Kate hurried into the living room, holding her phone in one hand as she approached Xavier. He was sitting comfortably on the sofa with a cup of coffee beside him, checking the latest updates on his laptop.Xavier closed the laptop and glanced at her. “What do they want?”“I don't know the exact reason for their visit, but Madam Selene and George are standing with them. They brought several officers, and one of them is holding a folder of documents.” Kate lowered her voice before continuing. “Boss, I think they've come here because of those accusations against you.”Xavier picked up his coffee and took a sip before placing it back on the table. He had expected Selene and George to make another attempt to cause trouble, although he hadn't anticipated that they would arrive at his property so soon.“Let them come in if they have the proper authorization. There's
THE FIRST SNOWFALL
“Boss, are you seriously going to sit there drinking coffee while it's snowing outside?” Kate asked as she entered the living room, carrying a tablet and a folder of documents.Xavier glanced at the snow falling beyond the large windows before taking another sip of his coffee. “Would you prefer that I stand outside and freeze with everyone else?”“That's not what I meant, but this weather makes no sense,” Kate replied as she approached the sofa. “The forecast yesterday showed ordinary temperatures for this time of year, and now there's a cold wind and snowfall. I checked three different weather channels, and none of them predicted this.”“Perhaps the weather has decided to surprise everyone,” Xavier remarked, setting his coffee cup on the table.Kate gave him an unconvinced look before settling into the chair opposite him. The sudden change had caught her off guard, especially because Xavier had been preparing for winter long before anyone expected it. At the time, she had assumed he
