Chapter 610 – You Don’t Call My Husband That!
*****At this moment, Xavier stood there… broad-shouldered, sharply dressed, and unbothered.A cocky, self-satisfied smirk now curled on his lips and he looked as if he had just secured a private victory in a game only he and the heavens were aware of.That smile… it wasn’t forced. It wasn’t even staged.No.It was confident, dominant, and arrogant even.And in that moment, it confirmed everything.‘This…’ dozens of hearts clenched at once.'He really is her husband?'Gasps moved like ripples through the crowd. Some men looked as if they’d been punched in the chest, while others… especially those who had once pursued Grace, stood shell-shocked, as if some priceless artifact had been stolen right before their eyes.“You… then you mean to tell us that this… this brat is truly your husband?” the balding middle-aged man asked, his voice tight with disbelief and rising fury.His eyes, once laced with disdain, now flared with resentment. It wasn’t just shock now… it was jealousy,
Chapter 609 – The Shock Caused by Grace’s Revelation II
*****“Hahahaha!”Lucas, one of the youngest, wealthiest entrepreneurs, the most handsome in the crowd… and one of Grace’s many failed suitors, burst into a raucous laugh, shattering the heavy silence.His shoulders shook as he pointed at Grace like a man watching a circus act.“As expected of President Grace, able to divert every situation!” he sneered through his laughter. “You really expect us to believe that? That this… this nobody is your husband? What a convenient excuse to cover up blatant favoritism!”His mockery was loud and theatrical, his laughter echoing through the lobby like a villain in a bad stage play.At first, the crowd blinked in confusion, unsure if they should laugh or stay stunned. But then slowly, realization began to dawn on them, and just like that, murmurs spread, and disbelief curdled into indignation.“This seemed to be right,” someone muttered under their breath. “She has never dated anyone before, let alone marry, so where does this husband come f
Chapter 608 – The Shock Caused by Grace’s Revelation
***** For a heartbeat… then two, the entire reception area plunged into eerie, absolute silence. Not a breath was heard, not a cough, not a whisper, not even the slightest shuffle of expensive loafers on polished marble. The atmosphere was so still that it could have been carved from ice. Men and women alike… whether they were young elites brimming with ambition or aging tycoons seasoned by years in the corporate trenches, stood utterly motionless, their eyes fixed on Grace Sky as though she had just announced the apocalypse. The word “husband” echoed like thunder across the stunned minds of everyone present. Executives, secretaries, heirs of vast empires, CEOs of multi-billion-dollar conglomerates… all appeared motionless, their expressions frozen in varying degrees of disbelief. "Hus… husband?" The word ricocheted itself like a looping whisper through the minds of those present, as if questioning its own existence. Had they heard wrong? Was this some elaborate prank? Gr
Chapter 607 – Grace’s Speechlessness
*****( Bonus Chapter )A chorus of nods followed the balding man’s words, and dozens of elites murmured in agreement with him, their eyes blazing with shared grievance.But still, Grace said nothing.No rebuttal. No denial. Not even a twitch in her brow, as though she couldn’t hear the insults and condescension, and accusation.And this… it made some amongst the crowd even more furious.But not all.In one quiet corner of the room, six individuals sat in luxurious silence. Unlike the rest, they hadn’t joined in the noisy uproar. They didn’t scream. They didn’t stomp. They didn’t clap mockingly or shout demands.They merely watched.Ava. Theodore. Harlan. Yan. Bianca. And the handsome Lucas.Six giants of the elite world. Their presence here had already sent shockwaves through the industry. For them to personally come for a company partnership? Unheard of. Beneath their status.And yet, they were here.They hadn’t spoken a word yet, but each of them… especially Lucas had b
Chapter 606 – The Commotion in the Lobby II
*****Grace hadn’t raised her voice when she spoke just now.She didn’t need to. Her presence alone, draped in quiet power and authority, was enough to silence the madness in one breath.One second passed. Then another.And, finally… like vultures spotting a wounded deer, the angry mob turned their accusations toward her.“So, this is the kind of leader you are after all!” a well-dressed, middle-aged man sneered, stepping forward with arrogant indignation. His Rolex flashed beneath his blazer sleeve as he pointed an accusatory finger at Grace. “All this time, you’ve pretended to be fair, claiming you don’t accept gifts or bribes. And yet, here you are… showing blatant favoritism!”“So, it was all a façade,” another chimed in bitterly. “Just like every other hypocrite who rises to power… your neutrality was only an illusion.”“You’ve lost our trust, Grace Sky,” a woman said sharply. “And that will cost your company everything.”Dozens of fingers pointed. Dozens of voices piled
Chapter 605 – The Commotion in the Lobby
*****Not a single word.Not a single eye contact.Yet the silence between Grace and Xavier wasn’t void… it thrummed with a magnetic tension, like two live wires humming too close to each other.Unspoken thoughts lingered in the air, rich with meanings neither dared to unravel just yet.Then came the elevator’s ding, a crisp chime that pierced the atmosphere like a bell ending a long, anxious dream.Finally, the door glided open.In the next second, however, it was as though the two were stepping into the middle of a riot. A wave of sound hit them like a brick wall.“Favoritism! Nepotism! This is outrageous!”“Do you take us all for fools?!”“You’d better come up with a better explanation for the outright bias you just displayed, or we’ll ensure that this company faces the consequences!”“You’ll pay dearly for this insult to our integrity!”“What errant nonsense!”The words slammed into the couple like a wall of heat and fury. Grace and Xavier both instinctively flinched,
