Chapter 490 – An Unexpected Turn of Events
*****‘She still hasn’t forgotten!’ Master Tush and his venomous wife thought simultaneously, a sense of dread twisting in their chests like a coiling serpent.“Young mis—” Master Tush attempted to interject and speak for his wife, but a single, cutting glance from Lyria froze the words in his throat.Then her frosty gaze shifted back and locked onto Madam Tush with an intensity that could shatter bone.Madam Tush’s throat constricted, and she swallowed hard, her mind churning feverishly like a machine on overdrive.Of course, she was well aware of her husband’s deep-seated loathing for this particular woman… Lyria. But her own contempt was no less intense.Still, she wasn’t stupid.From the moment her husband revealed the frightening power behind Lyria’s family… how its patriarch, who controls the entire herb conglomerate, dotes on and spoils her, Madam Tush understood one thing clearly: Lyria was not someone she dared to be rude to, otherwise, both she and her husband might n
Chapter 489 – The Couple’s Panic and Helplessness
*****At this moment, a suffocating stillness gripped the expansive interior of the herb emporium—an oppressive silence so heavy that it felt as if even the walls were holding their breath.Not a soul stirred, and even the once-glittering lights seemed to dim beneath the crushing tension, their flickers subdued beneath the weight of the unfolding storm.The small crowd stood paralyzed in the heart of the opulent store, where a shattered wall gaped like a wound. The atmosphere had mutated into something thick, volatile, and unspoken—the kind of silence that preceded catastrophes.Madam Tush’s chest rose and fell in rapid succession.Her expression, which was usually smug and dripping with cruelty, was now currently contorted in disbelief and raw panic. Her gaze was pinned on the stunning woman who had just stepped into the chaos. Something about this elegant figure clawed at her instincts with icy fingers.She didn’t recognize the woman—she had never met her before. But the momen
Chapter 488 – The Arrival of An Unexpected Person
*****Madam Tush’s knees trembled upon hearing Xavier’s icy-cold, heartless, and dagger-piercing words. Her breath grew shallow.For the first time in her miserable life, Madam Tush felt the sting of conscience.‘Could it be true?’‘Had my years of childlessness been Heaven’s punishment? Retribution for my countless sins?’For a moment, she stood paralyzed. Her lips quivered, her mind spiraled, and her eyes lost their focus.Master Tush, observing this terrifying shift in his wife’s demeanor, panicked.“You… you little wretch!” he snarled, stepping forward and glaring daggers at Xavier. “How dare you?!”He clenched his fists furiously as though he wanted to hit Xavier unconscious. But then he turned hastily to his wife, desperation heavily etched across his face.“Darling, you’re not actually believing this scum’s delusions, are you?” he pleaded.Madam Tush slowly turned to him, her gaze hollow, distant… shattered.It pierced Master Tush like a blade.“No… no, no, no, this
Chapter 487 – Xavier’s Dagger-piercing Response
*****“Did I?”Xavier’s voice was low and eerily devoid of emotion. Yet the biting sarcasm woven into that simple phrase was so palpable that it instantly sliced through the air like a razor.A chilling silence fell upon the room, and Madam Tush’s entire body convulsed, her posture rigid with indignation.Her face twisted, and the bare sliver visible beneath her veil contorted into a grotesque mask of hatred and disbelief.“You… you…” she stammered, thrusting a quivering finger at Xavier. “How dare you?! How dare you call me barren? How… how dare you?!”Madam Tush resembled an unstable machine on the verge of collapse, shuddering uncontrollably and trembling like a ticking time bomb on the brink of detonation.Xavier, however, didn’t flinch.He didn’t even blink. Instead, his gaze remained fixed on Madam Tush, icy and unyielding. It was as if he were peering through her, seeing straight into the rancid pit that was her soul.“Tell me,” he continued, and instantly, all attenti

Chapter 486 – Madam Tush’s Fury
*****The guards froze mid-stride upon hearing Xavier… everyone did. Xavier’s tone was not that of a man facing death or defeat. It was calm, detached, and almost... curious.He looked directly at Madam Tush, meeting her sadistic gaze without a flicker of fear. His eyes were sharp and unreadable, piercing straight into her as he asked:“Have you ever given birth before?”Silence fell over the store, then everyone blinked in confusion.They had thought he was about to plead for mercy, to threaten retaliation, or even break down. But this?For a moment, no one could react, but then…“What kind of imbecilic question is that?! How is that relevant?!” Master Tush spat with fury and murderous intent.But Madam Tush lifted a hand to stop her husband, her curiosity piqued.“No. Let him speak,” she murmured, her eyes narrowing. She wanted to know where Xavier was going with this question.Master Tush hesitated, sensing that whatever Xavier was about to say wouldn’t be good.He wante
Chapter 485 – Madam Tush’s Scheme
*****Xavier’s eyelids fluttered for a brief second, his expression subtly furrowing as his brows pulled together in growing perplexity.‘Why… did I suddenly remember this forgotten memory now?’ he murmured silently within his thoughts, a faint glint of bewilderment flashing in his eyes.That incident... long buried beneath the chaos of everything that had followed, hadn’t surfaced once in the past five years.In fact, it felt less like something that had truly happened and more like a hazy memory, distant and unreal. And yet now, in this very moment, it surged back to the forefront of his mind.Suddenly, like the clouds parting before a scorching sun, realization crashed upon him with clarity.‘I must have recalled the incident because of the village… the one that vile bastard Vidor spoke of in his twisted confession.’Thinking this, Xavier exhaled sharply, pushing the memory aside with sheer force of will.He had no time for distractions for the time being. Not while being s
Chapter 484 – A Fleeting Recollection of a Forgotten, Unimportant Past
*****[ Promised bonus chapter. ]…….Everyone stood utterly still at this moment, staring in a daze at the crumbled walls and the settling cloud of debris.Just mere seconds ago, they had all come to the same grim conclusion—Vidor was going to strike and annihilate Little Lola without hesitation… his murderous intent had been crystal clear.Master Tush had been incensed beyond belief, veins bulging from his temples, and he had prepared to subject Vidor to a torment so excruciating for daring to go against his command.He had made up his mind to make Vidor beg for death. How dare he defy an explicit order?He had been on the brink of commanding his guards to seize Vidor, ready to deliver punishment with an iron hand.But before a single word could even leave his lips, Vidor had suddenly been flung away like a broken puppet, crashing through several reinforced walls.He had rocketed through the air with such speed and force that blood erupted from his mouth before he finally h
Chapter 483 – Vidor’s Confession II and His Sudden Dread
*****The silence that followed Vidor’s confession was utterly different.It wasn’t from a stunned awe. Instead, it was from a horror, everyone was unable to believe their ears.Even the most cold-hearted within the store… Master Tush felt a strong chill settle deep in his bones, his jaw dropping to the ground.Everyone stared at Vidor in a daze. Not as a man, but as something monstrous… something unhinged.No one made even the slightest trace of sound. It wasn't because they chose silence, but because none of them seemed to notice it at all.And this lasted for what felt like an eternity before finally…“You… you murdered Little Lola’s mother?” A fragile, trembling voice pierced through the silence, the words soaked in disbelief and thick with sorrow.Vidor slowly turned his head, and upon seeing the speaker, an aggressive look appeared on his face.“Yes!” he bellowed, his voice suddenly booming with twisted pride. “I gave her a slow, silent poison. After all, what use was s
