Chapter 1250 – Shocking News
*****Xavier’s lips parted again, instinctively trying to explain, but once again, Grace didn’t let him.Grace didn’t raise her voice or argue… she simply looked at him, and that was enough.That single glance said everything: pain, disbelief, disappointment, and something deeper… something that cut far more than anger ever could.Seeing this, Xavier’s words died completely in his throat.‘This…’His mouth opened, closed, opened again, and then closed once more.For what felt like the first time in a long while, Xavier genuinely didn’t know what to say.He, who could usually brush off misunderstandings without a second thought, now found himself trapped in a suffocating silence, but now…That morning, seeing how exhausted Grace was… how she hadn’t slept in over twenty-four hours and how heavily everything she had been through weighed on her, he had made what he believed was a practical, reasonable decision.He had put her phone on DND and silence so she could rest and wouldn
Chapter 1249 – Accused
*****“You knew how much I valued that company.”Grace’s voice cut through the silence, raspy, slow, and cold.It wasn’t emotional or loud, yet it carried a weight that instantly pressed down on Xavier’s chest like a collapsing mountain.His lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.“You knew the story behind it,” Grace continued, each word measured and deliberate, like a blade being sharpened. “You knew how much it meant to me… how much I built with my own hands.”Her gaze didn’t waver, soften, or forgive.“You could have woken me to deal with things myself before it got the worst.”That was it.She didn’t raise her voice or lash out, but somehow, that only made it worse.After all, even though she didn’t show the slightest visible reaction, he could still sense what lay beneath her calm, icy composure.It was disappointment… the kind that doesn’t explode, but lingers.Xavier directly felt it hit him square in the chest.Without even realizing it, his heart began to p
Chapter 1248 – “You Knew How Much I Valued That Company”
*****Williams didn’t utter a single sound, yet the silence around him roared louder than any outburst ever could.His fists were clenched so tightly that they trembled by his side, his knuckles drained of all color as if the blood itself had recoiled from the violence in his thoughts.Thick veins snaked along his forearms, pulsing with a ferocity that hinted he might snap at any second.His entire frame was rigid, like a man barely restraining a beast clawing its way out from within.His eyes had turned a terrifying crimson… bloodshot, burning, and filled with a hatred so intense that it felt almost tangible, as if meeting his gaze could scorch you.And then his aura… it was chaos incarnate right now.Helplessness clashed with suppressed rage, while weakness warred against a desperate urge to destroy.However, towering above every other emotion… overwhelming and suffocating, was a single, undeniable force.Hatred.Williams was drowning in it right now, and how could he not
Chapter 1247 – Susan’s Explosion
*****Still in the living room, as the news recap continued to roll… flashing images, sharp commentary, and damning previews of the Oriens’ press conference, a suffocating silence descended upon the entire space.It wasn’t ordinary silence.It was the kind that pressed down on the chest, heavy and oppressive, as though even the air itself had thickened.Grace remained frozen in place, just like Susan, Williams, and even Laura.None of them moved, blinked, or reacted.They simply stared at the massive television, their eyes locked onto the screen as if something invisible had pinned them in place.It was almost unnatural… like time itself had paused, leaving them suspended in a single, unbearable moment.If anyone had walked in at that moment, they might have thought they were looking at lifeless mannequins rather than living, breathing people.It felt as though their souls had quietly slipped out, abandoning their bodies to stand there like hollow shells.And like that, time
Chapter 1246 – Grace’s Disappointment
*****“Thanks for the concern, Father.”Xavier dipped his head slightly as he spoke, the gesture respectful but brief, as though his mind had already moved ahead of the moment.Without waiting for a response, he turned on his heel and began walking back toward the living room, his steps calm, unhurried… yet purposeful.David didn’t follow immediately.Instead, he remained rooted where he stood, his gaze fixed on the retreating figure of his son.For a fleeting second, something conflicted flickered across his eyes… a quiet struggle between instinct and acceptance, between stepping in and stepping back, until ultimately…“I suppose it’s time I let him take the lead,” he thought to himself, the realization settling deeper than he expected. “He’s grown… far beyond what I anticipated.”To an outsider, the thought might have sounded like a reluctant surrender, but the truth?There was not even the slightest tinge of bitterness in his eyes, only pride… the kind that couldn’t be con
Chapter 1245 – David’s Realization
*****Xavier paused briefly, choosing his next words carefully… not to soften the truth, but to deliver it without disrespect.“No matter how much we avoid talking about it,” he continued, “they will still have to face it eventually.”His gaze didn’t waver.“I would rather we face it now… completely than let it come back later, when everyone has already let their guard down.”“This…”David froze.For a moment, he could only stare at his son, his lips parting slightly as though trying to respond, yet finding no immediate words.“This…” he repeated, but the rest of the sentence refused to form, because the truth was…He hadn’t thought of it that way… not onceNeither he nor Laura had.They had been so focused on preserving peace and protecting the fragile happiness they had managed to rebuild that they hadn’t stopped to consider what lay beneath it.But hearing it laid out so plainly now… it hit harder than expected.A faint breath escaped David as realization settled fully
