Chapter 885 – Susan’s Shock II
*****“He’s fine, Mother,” Xavier quickly reassured his mother, his tone exasperated but patient. “He just fainted. He only needs a few hours of rest, and he will wake up. That’s all.”He spoke with a casual calmness, sounding as though it wasn’t a big deal, as though carrying an unconscious man to his home, to meet his parents, was something perfectly ordinary.But as soon as Susan heard her, however, her temper, which had been struggling to stay contained, finally erupted again.“Don’t say that again!” she snapped, her voice trembling with both fury and anxiety, her sharp tone slicing through the tension like a blade.Yes, she had been completely caught off guard by the realization that the couple who had opened the luxurious mansion were Xavier’s parents, but even then…Her eyes flashed as she glared at him, stepping forward. “It isn’t your place to say his condition!”The force of her words startled the air still, and in the following second;Laura, “_”David, “_”The co
Chapter 884 – Susan’s Shock
*****Meanwhile, Susan, hearing the couple call Xavier Son, and Xavier, in turn, address the woman as his mother, stood frozen in place at this moment, unable to react for a moment, then finally...Her jaw dropped to the ground, her heart skipping a beat in her chest‘Son?’ Mother?’ Her mind stuttered, her breath hitching.Before she even knew it, Susan swallowed hard, unable to believe her ears.‘Did… did they just address themselves as that?’For a split second, the world around her seemed to blur, her mouth further opening, seemingly unable to make sense of anything again.But before she could even begin to process it, Xavier stopped in his tracks as Laura, still half in shock, raised her trembling hand.“Son, what’s going on here?” she demanded, her tone heavily laced with both confusion and fear, completely ignoring her son’s question as though she had never heard it.Her eyes darted to the unconscious man in Xavier’s arms. “Who is that you’re carrying? He doesn’t look g
Chapter 883 – Susan’s Worry II
*****Susan was incredibly anxious right now.The problem she and her family were already struggling to accept was still there, and now, before they could even come to terms with it, they were already stepping into something far worse… something that might destroy them once and for all.Susan’s heart began to race frantically in her chest, becoming even more anxious than before.Then, finally, she couldn’t keep her silence anymore and opened her mouth, ready to ask Xavier and her daughter for clarification.But just at that moment, before any sound could even leave her mouth… a sudden, sharp click echoed.In the following second, her breath hitched, her entire body stiffening.And just like that… amidst her frantically pounding heart and trembling, terrified soul, the massive door creaked open, slow and heavy, revealing two silhouettes bathed by the golden light of the morning rising sun.A man and a woman.They both looked frail… their faces lined, and their shoulders slight
Chapter 882 – Susan’s Worry
*****At this moment, standing before the towering entrance of Villa Number One… a door so massive and opulent that it looked as though it were made for gods or giants, radiating both power and wealth that didn’t just intimidate but humbled anyone who dared to approach... four figures stood.At the front stood Xavier, appearing calm and composed as he carried the unconscious Williams in his arms, whose blood had dried against his shirt, its dark stains standing out like a grim reminder of what had led them here.To his right stood Grace, her face devoid of any readable emotion.At this moment, her beauty seemed to have been sculpted from ice, appearing stoic, unyielding, and silent… the perfect picture of the Ice Goddess known to the world.It was not the kind of stillness born of peace or indifference, but of someone who had been hurt so much to the extent that she had stopped believing in the world.And then finally, on Xavier’s other side, stood Susan, Grace’s mother.Unlike
Chapter 881 – The Loving and Understanding Couple II
*****DingThe sudden chime of the doorbell sliced through the air, startling both of them so badly that they jerked like guilty teenagers caught sneaking out.Laura, without even the slightest hint of hesitation, leaped out of David’s embrace as if the hug had burned her.And David, blinking in disbelief, first shot a dark look toward the door, acting as though it had personally offended him… then he turned back to his wife, who now looked like a child caught red-handed with her hand in the cookie jar.“Come on, wife,” he groaned, throwing his arms up. “We’ve already been married for more than thirty years, yet you still act like some shy schoolgirl caught making out behind the classroom. Who exactly are you embarrassed for, the furniture?”Laura, “_”She stared at him blankly and with an unreadable expression for a moment, then finally… she stuck out her tongue like a defiant teenager.“That must be our son!” she declared suddenly, her voice bright, cheerful, and full of unc
Chapter 880 – The Loving and Understanding Couple
*****Before Xavier got convicted to prison, Laura had never been this… fragile about him.Back then, she was a woman of unshakable composure… strong, patient, and the kind of person who could go days without seeing her son and feel nothing more than mild curiosity and concern.He was busy with his company, and she trusted him completely. If he didn’t call, she would simply assume he was buried in work.It was normal back then, predictable and safe.But that was before prison.Ever since he came back, that fracture had never really healed.Every time Xavier left the house, her chest would tighten as if someone were slowly wringing the air out of her lungs.Every time he tried calling him and his number didn’t go through... or the call went unanswered, she felt her nerves tighten, as though something were scraping against them.And whenever he didn’t come back home on time, it felt as though invisible hands were tugging at her heart, strangling it with fear.She had taught he
