Chapter 868 – Xavier’s Guilt II
*****The image of the old man flashed in Xavier’s mind again, that sly, infuriating smirk that made his blood boil, and in the following second, his teeth ground together.He was furious… furious enough to want to turn the car around and break something.But he couldn’t. Letting rage take over him wouldn’t help Grace, Susan, or the unconscious man lying quietly in the back seat.He took a deep breath and forced himself to look at Williams through the rearview mirror.The man lay motionless, his breathing faint but steady.His head rested on Susan’s lap, and if not for his pale complexion, he could’ve been mistaken for someone simply sleeping off exhaustion.But the longer Xavier stared, the less peaceful it seemed.Williams looked like someone caught in a nightmare… a nightmare he couldn’t wake from, one where his mind was trapped fighting for air.Xavier exhaled softly and shook his head, his chest tightening.Grace was broken.Susan was shattered.But Williams… his suff
Chapter 867 – Xavier’s Guilt
*****Xavier had thought he was doing the right thing earlier when he shone light on the truth for Grace’s sake… making her see that the old man was turning her against her parents.But all it did was push the old man over the wall.Because of that, the truth that might have remained buried for life came spilling out like poison.Because of that, the old man’s mask was shattered and the monster beneath was revealed.And because of that… Williams fainted.And Xavier... the supposed “fixer,” the one who had always found a solution for every situation he had ever faced, could do nothing but stand there, watching the damage unfold.Recalling all this, he exhaled slowly, his chest heavy.He blamed himself, yes… but it was more than guilt.It was the gnawing realization that no matter how much he wanted to fight, he couldn’t win against a situation like that again.The old man wasn’t just cunning… he was meticulous.Before exposing the full truth, he had already converted every p
Chapter 866 – Departing the Sky Estate
*****By the time Xavier, Grace, and her family finally left the Sky Estate... or rather, the newly created Oriens Family, the first timid ray of dawn had already pierced through the horizon, signifying the arrival of dawnHowever, none of them noticed the sunrise.Apart from Xavier, both Grace and Susan were completely undone… their hearts racing in their chests and their thoughts in utter disarray, as they rushed after Xavier, who carried the unconscious Williams in his arms.His body hung limp and appeared lifeless, as Xavier gently lowered him into the back seat of Grace’s black BMW sedanThey had left the meeting room under a silence so dense that it felt alive… cold, heavy, and suffocating.Everyone in that room had watched them go, their faces tight with confusion and unease.Everyone… except the old man.He had stood there grinning, his face glowing with the kind of joy one might wear after winning the lottery… or, more fittingly, after stealing it.His smile had been
Chapter 865 – The Old Man’s Ambition II
*****Like that, what felt like an eternity passed, nearly everyone staring in horror.Finally, however, Williams… the only one who hadn’t yet reacted, slowly raised his trembling hand, his finger pointing straight at the old man, his whole arm shaking violently.“You… you’re a demon,” he stammered, his voice cracking. “A… A demon!”Hearing this, however, the old man, who had been smiling in utter satisfaction at everyone’s reaction to his mastermind plans and execution, couldn’t help but narrow his eyes into two glinting slits, his expression turning unreadable and… dangerous.“Me, a demon?” he echoed, his tone dripping with venom. “For taking back what I deserve after being used like a tool for years?”Williams let out a furious, bitter laugh, trembling frantically like an engine on the verge of explosion. “Deserve?” he repeated, his voice rising to a snarl. “You deserve this?!”His chest heaved with disbelief, his fists clenched so tightly that his joints crackled like thund
Chapter 864 – The Old Man’s Ambition
*****At this moment, it wasn’t just Williams whose world had fallen crumbled... Nico’s world had too.His very sense of self was crumbling right before his eyes, unraveling into utter confusion and disbelief. He tried to speak again, but words refused to form.His throat tightened, his mind spiraling into utter chaos, realizing that all these years, he had been the stranger, the alien.It was…Of course, the old man noticed the storm brewing in Nico’s eyes… but his own expression didn’t soften a bit.If anything, it only hardened.He looked almost insulted by his son’s confusion, clearly expecting something opposite.“What’s so difficult to understand in what I just said?” he snapped, his voice slicing through the silence like a blade. “Did you really think I would reveal everything I just did without already having a plan in motion?”His tone was sharp, smug, and cruel, sending shivers down every spine.“All these years,” he continued, pacing slowly, each word deliberate
Chapter 863 – The Creation of Oriens Family
*****“You… you’re not my father and you… you’re not the patriarch?”The words stumbled out of Williams’ mouth, sounding shaky, dreadful, and disbelieving.Upon hearing him, however, the old man he had addressed as “Father” all his life, only smirked condescendingly and with amusement that made the atmosphere even thicker and more suffocating.“Before?” he said, tilting his head mockingly. Then, with a snap of arrogance that could cut steel, he added, “Bingo.”The response hit like a slap, causing everyone to freeze.Everyone exchanged confused gazes in the following second, their brows tightening in sheer disbelief.“Be… before?” the usually graceful, composed, and cold Grace stammered, her voice small, barely more than a whisper.That single word, however, instantly seemed to ignite something violent in the old man.His gaze darted toward her, and for a fleeting second, it looked as though he were staring at the face of his greatest enemy… the one who had ruined his life.
